Stopped by Chrisly Cafe for lunch today and really enjoyed our first visit. We waited about 30…read moreminutes, but I actually liked that they have a digital waitlist where you can enter your information and keep track of your spot instead of standing around waiting for your number to be called. Once we were seated, the food came out in under 5 minutes for everyone, which was honestly impressive considering how busy they were. Prices are about average for an HK café and the food was decent. We all ordered the satay beef instant noodles (沙嗲牛肉公仔麵), so I can't really comment on the rest of the menu yet. The highlight for me was definitely the drinks. Both the Hong Kong-style milk tea (奶茶) and yuenyeung (鴛鴦) had a nice bold, authentic flavour that's getting harder to find these days. Overall, a solid spot for Hong Kong-style comfort food, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Although there is a lot of parking in this plaza, there are times when there is hardly any available spots. Service is quick and efficient every time I've gone. The menu is HK-style café with a wide range of options, so there's something for everyone. I've tried quite a bit from their menu over time, and nothing has been disappointing. One thing I appreciate is that they don't over-season their food, especially with salt. Most of their meals come with drinks and a choice of soup and they have CREAM SOUP! It's much rarer to find a place that still offers it nowadays. Drinks are also better than average compared to the surrounding hk styled cafes in this plaza. I'd come back because it's reliable and easy to enjoy, especially with a small group of people!

Its at the Langham Square plaza area not far from the Kennedy plaza on south of Hwy 7 Kennedy area. Here is what we ordered: Pineapple Bun w/Butter- $7.95 comes with hot drink Cheung Fun Noodles w/ Siu Mai Fish & fishball I believe- $9.45 with hot drink. Hainese Chicken w/Rice - $11.95 First off, the pricing of this place is really good and much less expensive vs other HK cafe we've been to. Secondly, everything we ordered is standard for most part, except, the hainese chicken rice which was the most common dish ordered and now we know why... The rice has flavour of the chicken oil and fat, and the chicken though not the most tender or slippery they call it in chinese, but good enough. The star was the sauce they provided which is 3 types: one sweet dark soy sauce like, ginger scallion sauce and their chili sauce... All these were very very tasty along with the flavoured rice! You must give it a try if you remotely enjoy cold chicken with these amazing sauces... I only wish they sell the chili sauce because that is very tasty!

I've walked past this place many times and it always has a long line, so when we finally saw an…read moreempty table, we decided to give it a try. It was my first time here, and the experience started off on the wrong foot. I had barely sat down, not even 30 seconds, before a staff member was already hovering over us trying to take our order. I hadn't even had a chance to look the menu yet, which immediately made things feel rushed and uncomfortable. The space itself is quite small, and they won't let smaller groups of two people or fewer sit in the booths, which adds to that cramped and slightly stressful atmosphere. There's people hovering nearby watching if you're almost done. Overall, the entire dining experience felt rushed from start to finish. The food is cheap, I'll give them that, but unfortunately the quality reflects that. I ordered a sandwich and it was sloppily put together. The bread slices were not even aligned properly, where the top slice and bottom slices were in opposite directions, making it so you couldn't pick it up. Flavour-wise, I was hoping for more of a Hong Kong cafe style satay beef, but this wasn't it. The curry was okay, with some decent chunks of meat and potato, but nothing particularly memorable. What really left a bad impression was the payment experience. Their debit machine defaults to 12%, 15%, or 18% tips calculated after tax, with no upfront notice or custom option. Tipping is not mandatory in Canada, and it should be up to the customer based on service. When we asked about it, the response felt as if we were being made to feel cheap over "just a few cents". Honestly it is not about the amount, it is about principle. If you are just looking for a quick and cheap bite, this place might do the job. But considering the long lines and how rushed the experience is, you might end up waiting longer than you actually get to sit and eat. Personally, I will not be coming back. I would rather get takeout or dine somewhere that lets you actually relax and enjoy your meal.

The menu is extensive and has a lot of options to pick from including seafood boil, baked dishes, bar food, pasta, etc. The servers were fairly nice but a bit slow, maybe because the patio wasn't very busy.

To be honest, it is not perfect in many dimensions: It's not spacious and feels too greedy to have too many tables. It is not a good place if you really want to have an elegant environment to have your meals. The servers are a bit aggressive. But despite of all those disadvantages, I still give it 5 stars because it has the PERFECT food! I almost dropped some tears when I tasted my first bite of the dish I ordered, stored fried beef with tomatoes and eggs. I think what it does best is that it adapt its dishes to use the local produce and meat, and still keep the legit HongKong food flavors. My wife ordered the stir fried instant noodles and it was full of pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant to have meal with friends or family (but not too many people since it's small and crowded. You can go to other coffee shop to chat
