    Lunch special 2025
    Tiffany W.

    Easily become one of our favourite go-to spots. Rare that an Asian facility has nice workers (used to the Hong Kong treatment). They are very thoughtful when you place the order & package the order securely. The foods always good here. Just classic Chinese comfort homestyle food.

    This is a small HK style cafe offering variety of dishes. We came in Wednesday night around 7:30, it was still busy and almost full. The staff was very friendly and managed seated us immediately. We ordered a combo A for two, $31.99, including two main dishes, slice fish with vegetables, and sliced beef with mushrooms &green onion. Soup comes with the combo for free, and free dessert red bean soup after the meal . All dishes are at very high quality with good portion. This little kitchen is so clean and homey, with tasty food at reasonable price, will definitely come back!

    We were pleased to find that since we'd last been there, the restaurant had been updated. Sitting by the door was a bit chilly, with customers constantly coming and going for takeout orders as well as dining in. Reservations may be necessary, as this is a small restaurant that filled up quite quickly when we were there. We ordered a combo for two. This included soup, half a crispy chicken, sliced fish with vegetables, rice, and dessert for $32. This was too much food for us, and we ended up taking some of it home. We also ordered takeout recently. Everything was packed really well; there was no spillage when we got home, and, again, we had lots of leftovers. Their portions are very decent.

    Sunday brunch! Cute little space on old Markham road. Really enjoyed it, the servers were lovely. Space is small but it's expected. Didn't wait long for a table. Definitely will go back. Love the HK cafe houses. Too bad we don't have one in downtown Toronto

    Bayview kitchen is a small, but popular restaurant located by Bayview and Major Mackenzie. We came on Sunday around 2pm, and was surprised to see how full the restaurant was. Luckily for us, there was an open spot when we arrived, but it was a little chilly as we had to sit right by the entrance. During our dine in experience, there were many customers coming in to order take out - which means this spot is pretty popular! They have a breakfast, and lunch special which was pretty reasonable with the amount of items included, plus portion of the dishes. We opted for their lunch special which included a drink such as HK Milk Tea, and soup (only available till 2:30pm). I got the satay beef with vermicelli, and overall it was pretty tasty - there was a good amount of satay sauce included which gave it a lot of flavour. The milk tea was also surprisingly pretty good in comparison to many HK cafes I've visited. If you'd like to add sugar to it, there are packets on the side by your table. As I'm moving around the area soon, it's pleasant to know that there's a pretty good HK cafe in the area. I would definitely recommend you to come check this spot out if you haven't :) IG: Ayeween

    A neighbourhood secret among Chinese diners. Consistently good Cantonese stir fry, fair prices and friendly service have kept our family coming back here for years. Beef and Vegetable Fried Rice Noodle, Curry Beef Brisket and Fish with Corn Sauce are excellent. Strictly cash only.

    This cash-only place has Hong Kong themed breakfast/lunch/afternoon tea sets and a Cantonese themed a la carte menu that's more adventurous than usual. In 2019, I had fried rice noodles with pork & XO sauce which were pretty tasty, with a good wok flavour. Though it was a bit light on pork slices. More recently, I got the Malaysian Fried Noodles. They were not Malaysian Fried Noodles (Char Kway Teow, as per the Chinese characters). They had bean sprouts, BBQ Pork, green onion, shrimp, egg & onion. There was no smoky wok flavour & while there was a slight curry smell & it was slightly spicy there was no taste of curry. In fact, it was bland. On the up side, with the Malaysian Fried Noodles I got not one but two free soups. One was a pork with carrot soup, with a decent taste of boiled goodness. The other was actually a dessert: red bean soup with sago. Both were good. During covid they're particularly paranoid - you get your change yourself and they handle your money with tongs (and presumably sterilise it after you hand it over)

    Fish and rice

    Some people speak mountains about Bayview Kitchen - I've been a few times and just ordered the milk tea which is sweet and refreshing on a hot summer's day. I've only tried the food once and ordered a fish plate - white fish and steamed vegetables and rice - and I believe the corn soup it came with was complimentary. The meals are prepared very fast, and the taste is alright - there's not many vegetarian or pescatarian options here for me so I don't go very often. The appearance inside is small and quite cramped, you likely will have to share a table with others. My friends say this place is very traditional, but I cannot try the traditional dishes so I can't comment on that. Service is prompt and friendly. Prices are relatively inexpensive. I believe they are cash only though.

    Stumbled upon this place by accident. Cozy little HK syle cafe. Saw they had oxtail on the menu so I couldn't say no to that. Portion was good and the meat was pretty soft. The sauce was like a tomato flavour mixed with mushrooms. Overall a decent oxtail dish. Also tried a fried noodle. Was a bit on the salty side but other than that it was good. Milk tea was a bit watered down.

    Ma Po tofu
    Lisa L.

    This is the best local Cantonese place, hands down. The owners and staff are so incredibly friendly and nice, and the food is outstanding. I come back home to visit my sister a few times a year, and always hit this place up. I'm from Hong Kong and know good Cantonese food--and this is it. When I leave I crave it. Their black bean chicken is amazing, as are any of their crispy fried egg noodle dishes. The ma po tofu is so good, it leaves my lips buzzing with the mala pepper. If you're looking for a good food, come here. It's ten times better than any Chinese restaurant in the Hill.

    I am so disappointed :( the reviews are deceiving on the…read moreinternet, but I should have known. It was not from YELP. We took our colleague's advice and went to this location and was sorely disappointed. This restaurant is too Canadianized - it was empty when we got there. But we took a chance and ate there, because there were no other good restaurants around. Also, we all like to suppor mom and pop owners, so... The owner is VERY nice and cute....but was sitting in the kitchen for a while before she came out. I had to holla for a while for her to know that there are customers waiting outside. The food - so not worth my stomach. They did not even have fresh chili oil or hot sauce. I asked for hot chili and she brought out to go packets of chili and hot mustard. So disappointed but if you have not been spoiled by San Jose or Santa Clara or BAY AREA Chinese authentic food, then this restaurant may be ok for you. I was just disappointed.

The sweet and sour soup was a ketchup like mess with scary bits of pork. We told them to cancel the rest of the order and we got our coats and walked out. The server, who wore a winter coat as he brought us our food, told us we need to pay for the soups because we tasted them. Obviously, we're not the first to walk out and we won't be the last. Please don't eat here. Please. You won't be happy if you do.

The drawback is everytime the door opens you get the big breeze that comes in and also the washroom is not toddler friendly. This place only accepts CASH or DEBIT and there is 25c for each take-out container if needed, though you can bring your own... Ordered Wing Tai Signature Steamed Chicken-$16 - Looks like hainese chicken as there are generous amount of green ginger onion on top of chicken. Not exactly meaty, and texture was alright and it comes with a steam rice and choice of soup or hot beverage. Got Satay Beef Instant Noodle set with luncheon meat + scrambled egg and crispy bun w/ butter condensed milk- $14 -standard taste and such F14 (Fried Noodles w/Beef)- $15 - Didn't really get the wok-hay and the colour is a bit light. Beef was nicely sliced thin and noodles tasted fine. One thing I'd say is their hot sauce by the tableside is quite tasty! Milk tea tasted standard as well. Service was fine too. Not a big space, but can probably seat 25-30 people.
