Came here for Valentine's Day. My husband and I both love soup curry from this exact chain in…read moreSapporo, so when we discovered they had a location here, we had to check it out. The space was clean and our food arrived fairly quickly. We ordered the fried chicken and beef brisket soup curry. The spices weren't as strong and fragrant as the one we had in Sapporo which is what made it so memorable for me the first time. It was also a bit salty for my liking. But the fried chicken piece was about double the size than the one in Sapporo! Perfectly juicy and the crispiness is a nice contrast to the soup and soft vegetables. Beef brisket was soft and tender but would pick the fried chicken over the brisket. The rice was a bit lackluster compared to the more fragrant one in Sapporo. It's hard to compete with soup curry from the motherland, but this is still worth trying if you're looking for something different from the usual ramen or sushi.

Very interesting place on the ground floor of Aberdeen. Note that this is NOT traditional Japanese…read morecurry. This is soup curry, it is much more soupy. You sit down and order from a kiosk. I guess that's the trendy thing. They give you rice refills. The soup - I ordered the kakuni pork belly curry soup. The Kakuni is really really well done. Very tender and soft, absolutely wonderful. I also liked all of the other veggies - broccoli tomatoes corn etc. the soup is on the peppery side but has a great soft flavour to it. I also added eggplant which had great texture. The rice is also very unique. It is more like whole grained rice and feels healthy. Its texture contrasts with the soup and goes well with it I think. Don't expect traditional curry but if you're open to something new this is an enjoyable meal.

WHAT WE TRIED Chicken Leg Bowl with Scallion Oil Sliced Noodles and Braised Egg Large BYO Lamb Shoulder Bowl with Scallion Oil Thin Noodles and Braised Egg Jasmine Green Tea with Pearls & Pineapple Green Tea with Coconut Jelly The chicken leg was well-seasoned and incredibly tender, effortlessly falling off the bone. The lamb shoulder was equally good, with the meat absorbing the sauce perfectly. Both types of noodles we tried were springy with the perfect chew, providing a satisfying texture that complemented the proteins well. The braised egg was flavorful, with a rich, savoury taste that added an extra layer of indulgence. For our sides, we opted for black fungus, bean sprouts, celery and carrots, and corn. Each vegetable was fresh, adding a balance of crunch and subtle sweetness that elevated the overall dish. The variety of textures and flavours from the sides made every bite more dynamic and enjoyable. Overall, the combination of tender proteins, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh sides made for a well-rounded and satisfying meal. Dragon Bowl is a go-to spot for a quick, affordable, and satisfying meal.

Went for dinner here after a busy day out at Aberdeen Centre. The waitstaff are so nice and our…read moreserver/host Jonathan was so nice and kept our glasses of water filled, and service was great in that aspect. The food was what gives this a just okay review, it was good and above fast food but in comparison to other restaurants the food is very basic with not much flavour. It is still good and palatable, but it didn't leave a lasting impression and I don't know if I would return. My friend and I ordered mozza sticks to share as an app and they were good but small and could've used more cheese. The grilled cheese as a main was delicious by far our favourite of the night. The basic burger was mediocre with the meat tasting a bit burnt yet it was pink on the inside (fine by me) and a bit dry. The pickles weren't my fav either with them being sweet? I asked for no tomatoes but was shocked there was no onion or such, and the sauce I saw but did not taste. Both my friend and I acknowledged that they had amazing fries, but a refill of ketchup would've been nice. Finally, I had placed my file folder on the table while dining and forgot to pick it up on the way out and no staff alerted me as they were actively clearing it as soon as we got up. That made me a bit sad.

The star of the show, surprisingly, was the coleslaw and the fries. Service was friendly and they checked on you often, filled your water. Atmosphere wasn't the most enjoyable as you can't really hear your table talk because the staff are having TOO good of a time working and laughing. While I think it's great to have a workplace where employees enjoy where they work, it didn't make a nice dining experience for us. Overall, Jack's is just mid level fish and chips... but I don't think I'll be back. Followed your story on IG for a while so I wish you all the best.

Who knew Hong Kong cafe food in a food court would be so popular? Does this beat driving to…read moreRichmond? Heck ya! Parking is easily available but there is a 4 hour limit. Cha Don has only been opened in Henderson Mall for 2 weeks and the line is insane. (Even went back a month later and it's still ridiculous.) Most of the dishes are under $16 but some of the items are not available till after 11:30. That's includes the baked rice dish and spaghetti and the minced pork patty rice series. This will quicken up the long time for those breakfast goers but sucks if you're craving either of those. So the first time I had gone, there were lots of mistakes in orders and the long lines. There was also a sign in front of the cashier stating that they will only take CASH or E-TRANSFER...So be prepared! By the look at more recent reviews, it seems like they're still working out the kinks and the line is still 30-45 minutes. Maybe by this spring they'll figure it out? Just know there are lots of good options if you're not willing to wait.

Cha Don is a Hong Kong-style café concept that nails the casual cha chaan teng experience with…read morelegit flavour and sharp value, especially for a food court operation. Long lines at both the Yaohan and Henderson Mall locations speak to how popular it is, and the pricing sits in the affordable range for generous, full-meal plates rather than snack-sized portions. The overall value proposition is strong: you get real-deal HK café flavours without feeling like corners were cut. Dishes come out fast and hot, and the kitchen does not skimp on proteins--whether it's pork chops, chicken, or beef, plates feel properly loaded rather than padded with carbs. Despite the crowds, service is efficient and geared toward turnover, which suits the food court setting and keeps waits manageable once you've actually ordered. It's the kind of place where you grab your tray, sit, and eat rather than linger, but it delivers exactly what you come for. Given the combination of flavour, portion size, and price, Cha Don is an easy recommend for Hong Kong café fans looking for a quick, satisfying meal. The only real downside is the lineup; at peak times the queue can be enough to make you think twice. Still, if the line isn't too long, it's absolutely worth returning for another round.
