The Cherry’s Richmond rebrand is almost here — at least, according to insider sources. Word is that Cherry’s Food House will be reopening in just the next few days.
Previously known for its Korean–Chinese fusion classics like seafood pancake and tofu soup, Cherry’s Food House looks to be making a major shift. A sign reading 川菜館 (Sichuan Restaurant) has been spotted peeking out from underneath the old Cherry’s sign, strongly suggesting that the new concept will focus on Sichuan-style cuisine.
Insider sources also say that the refreshed Cherry’s Food House will prioritize affordable eats at around $10, served in paper takeout plates with disposable utensils. The setup will be fast-casual with no tipping required — a clear response to the growing popularity of Richmond’s food court dining scene, where low prices and quick service are attracting big crowds.
If true, this pivot would place Cherry’s Food House in line with a wider trend of restaurants rethinking their approach as they compete with the surge in food court popularity.
