    We were craving authentic Hong Kong comfort food. We found Angel Cafe hit the spot! We indulged in the Shrimp with Stir Egg Sauce over Rice Noodles and the Spicy Pork with Eggplant over Yi Mein. Each dish comes with your choice of soup (Russian Borscht, Chinese, or Cream) and a hot beverage (cold options available for an extra cost). So satisfying and generous portions meant leftovers. It was a bit busy when we arrived about 7:30pm on a Friday. We were quickly seated to last available booth. Their menu is extensive to the point I did not know what to order. My go to is Shrimp with Stir Egg Sauce and it was done really well. The decor seems a bit outdated and need of some renovation but it was clean. It's a dying breed for simple and good HK cafe in Vancouver.

    Some classic Hong Kong cafe food is something I haven't had in the longest time. Angel cafe is an old favourite and it was nice to be back after years! The borsht soup came with our meal and it was on the tart side but that's what I love about the soup so no complaints from me. We also ordered the baked chicken with meat sauce spaghetti which came in a portion large enough for the both of us! Last but not least we got a bowl of century egg and fish congee. This was also a large portion and we had enough to take home for the next day! Service was okay and staff was friendly but it was busy so it took a while for us to get their attention to fill up water or get the bill.

    Definitely a dying breed in Vancouver, if you want to know what I consider an HK cafe when I grew up look no further and just come here, this place has all the aesthetics of yesteryear, I really do not think this place has ever had any significant renovation, and it really doesn't need to as it is a staple of this area. I come here for either the breakfast of mid-day special, but there will be something here you will like. I found the service very attentive, the food taste is what you would expect from an older establishment, nothing over the top, but something very familiar. The last time I was here a friend and I sat around for breakfast on a weekday and it was pretty much full, and you can tell that this was a go-to for people who come here often, from the 'hello's' being handed off by the regular's to people being all comfortable reading their morning paper the good part is this restaurant is on a corner where a lot of natural lighting comes in. Their HK hot milk tea, from the taste, is pulled pretty good, along with their normal servings of satay beef macoroni, congee with rice rolls, noodle dishes, rice dishes, mixed western influenced food, sandwiches, there is a good assortment. If you are in the area, and you want to walk down memory lane, come here.

    Solid meal for a great price! Visited around 2pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy but had a steady inflow of customers. Got a French Toast ($8.50) and Baked Seafood Rice ($14) and both came with a drink! The Baked Seafood Rice was loaded with shrimp, fish and a mussel - it was also saucy and super flavourful! The French toast was great as well and always hit the right spot! Loved how the AC in there really cooled us off on a hot afternoon. The food came quick and service prompt!

    HK style cafe in the Fraser 41st area. Parking is plentiful in the nice public lot W of Fraser. The interior is a bit worn and beaten up. This place has been here for a while. Staff were decently friendly. No complaints. The food is standard HK fare. Food isn't the cheapest. Some of the fried noodle and rice dishes are the best deal. The cow tongue was tasty. Looks like they slightly grill the slices.

    Really good beef brisket curry - massive portion even tho it doesn't look like it
    Gabriel C.

    Angel Cafe isn't the cleanest restaurant in the area but it serves tasty food in enormous portions at a reasonable price. The HK-Malaysian beef brisket curry was actually one of the best I've ever had and the portion size was so massive that I could only finish about two thirds of my meal. My friends ordered a noodle soup and two hot stone bowl dishes, and they all had to pack half of their meals to go. Most of the dishes were between $11-$14 which we thought was quite reasonable. We didn't try any of the cakes or buns since I had heard they weren't great.

    My mom had a doctor appointment that ended just before noon, so we needed to find a place to have lunch. We tried a couple of restaurants that we had gone to before but they were both closed. I decided to try Fraser Street thinking it would be easier to find an open restaurant there. The first one we saw was Angel Cafe. It was open for dine in and there were a few empty tables so we went for it. After we sat down, two more parties came in and all the tables were occupied. The tables were not too close, but unlike precautions taken by other restaurants, there were no barriers separating the tables and customers were seated at every table. We ordered Hainan chicken and curry beef brisket. The taste of both dishes were quite good, my mom especially like the curry. But we felt it would be much better if the portions were bigger.

    Shrimp, silky eggs hor fun. Yums!!

    Have of course been coming here regularly even during the past few months of pandemic Covid restrictions; today, we came for the air conditioning - yup, needed shelter from this heat dome! As usual, food was great, the complimentary iced drinks very welcome and service was FAST!! In fact, their waitstaff is always exceptional - practically non-stop running with the huge platters, interspersed with them taking phone orders and handing them out when the patron comes to collect (and as many times as I've been here, I've never heard anybody complaining about wrong orders etc) and all done with a pleasant demeanour and smiles. Please tip your wait staff well when you make it out here!! IMHO, they're just about the best wait staff I've had the pleasure of being served by! And the food remains consistently great - to the point that we eat here at least weekly if not twice/thrice in a week. And for not much more than if we cooked at home! And did I mention the "wok mei" - that special flavour good Chinese food is imbued with when a great Chef use very high heat/fire to the point that the wok catches on fire. Impossible to duplicate cooking at home unless you've got good gas range AND no fear of catching your house on fire!! Hmmmm... I guess I AM enamoured by Angel cafe! LOL!!

    Breakfast Menu November 2019
    C. H.

    A solid HK style cafe option with different specials depending on time of day. We stopped by just before their breakfast menu cutoff. I ordered an A + B combo with a mushroom and ham omelette and a dish of pan fried rice rolls ($10.25). I upgraded the drink to an iced lemon tea ($0.50). Food arrived in reasonable time. Portion size was good. Food was tasty. Rice rolls had a side of hoisin dipping sauce. Omelette was Asian style - basically a fried egg with mushroom and ham slices folded into the egg. Toast was buttered. Iced lemon tea tasted as expected with a strong tea and lemon flavour. Ambiance is a bit dated and casual. Restrooms were clean. Lastly, this restaurant is cash only. There is metered street parking on Fraser Street at $1 per hour.

For dine in, you get seated and order and will be served tea. Prices are ever so slightly higher but not enough to really notice. Takeout, you order at the front and off you go. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of steamed bbq pork buns so imagine my absolute adoration when we got a huge steamed bbq pork bun here. It's the size of my face. Fluffy bun and savory bbq pork without the red food coloring, what more could you want? Mango pudding was also a nice touch. Refreshing and not too sweet so it's a great dessert to finish off whatever meal you were having or just as a standalone snack. While New Town Bakery isn't exactly new, it's a tried and true spot for delicious buns and baos!

It is small and quaint with some of the smaller combined tables having plastic dividers separating the diners. I appreciated that the establishment has a clear process of operations for take out and dine in. The team is efficient in their service and ability to turn tables so we were seated pretty quickly. We tried the BBQ pork, roasted pork, soya chicken and BBQ duck. BBQ Pork - was standard and pretty good. However, I've definitely had better elsewhere in regard to flavor and crispiness. Roasted Pork - I really enjoyed this as it was moist, savory, and not overtly sweet. Soya Chicken - was ok... kind of dry. BBQ Duck - was ok as well. Definitely be sure to order the pieces without the bones. I opted for them to give me whatever pieces and ended up with barely any meat. Overall, it was good, but not anything extraordinarily amazing. FYI - they are a cash only establishment. We were not aware but luckily there is a grocery store on the second floor of the building with an ATM machine.
