This is one of the 3 go to spots for its family. Great flavors at a good value. And there is a 10% discount for take out. I think we've been going there for over 10yrs. They have lots of good dishes. See my other reviews. There is one dish I miss. There's used to have this lemon chicken that was stringy deep fried chicken with lemon sauce on it. But they change their recipe years ago it is like everyone else's now... no longer special. Large long spears of chicken white meat with a lemon sauce. Boring. So we don't order it anymore. They have lots of other good stuff still. And the dining room has been updated. read more

The dining space is tidy and welcoming, but the food itself is a bit hit-or-miss. I ordered the baked spaghetti, and while it wasn't terrible, it ended up being just alright. I've also gotten other baked dishes come there and they come out a little thin and watered down, and they're quite light on the cheese if you're expecting a rich, bubbly top. With the lunch combo, you get a soup, drink, and a main. It gets the job done for a quick meal, but just be aware before you go that they only accept cash and Interac e-Transfer. read more

Food is fine. I was expecting better as there were many good reviews, but it was just ok. Nothing to write home about. Service is normal as other HK style restaurants. Ambiance is so so, small and cramped. Overall I won't be returning as there is nothing special about this restaurant. read more

Finally got to try this little hole in the wall eatery! Came here for lunch! Service was quick, the staff there seem to know all the regular and greet them by name! We got the lunch specials what came with soup and drink! We got a fried noodle and sweet and sour pork! Look forward to coming back! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

I have been ordering party trays once every month here. They have so many great dishes! We really love the curry brisket , lamb brisket, crispy fried chicken, salted egg butter shrimp.. and lots more! Customer service is great. Dishes always looked great and tasty!! Prices are reasonable and they never made mistakes in the orders. Dishes always include soup and desert for our take outs. read more

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. read more

Bayview Kitchen - Lunch menu Apr.2024 - Chinese Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

See all

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) read more

I order from here frequently cause it's fast and convenient Cantonese food close to our family's residence. It's not the best but it's above average. Note that this place only accepts cash which is really irritating but is now commonplace in Toronto. read more

I really love this place the food is very good the staff are very friendly and welcoming this is a place for you if you love the asian culture like I do . I personally recommend their spicy chicken fried rice read more

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. read more

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. read more

Can't go wrong with spaghetti bolognese and the sesame chicken. It's really good. The restaurant is small so plan before hand or takeout. Parking may be iffy too due to the location being in a small plaza. If you don't have cash for takeout, they have an e-transfer option which is quite amazing! read more

Went to Bayview Kitchen for a quick dinner. I've always been curious about this place because it's always packed when I pass by it on my way to eat at Restoran Malaysia. They must be doing something right. I ordered a club sandwich, a double decker sandwich with lettuce, tomato, ham, egg, and chicken salad. Although you can't really go wrong with a club sandwich, this one pales compared to other ones that I've eaten at other hk-style cafes. The flavours were rather bland. My boyfriend ordered a satay beef fried noodle. We couldn't taste any satay at all. The whole dish just looked like it was slapped together without much care. I know I shouldn't complain for such cheap prices, but I've had much better food with the same price point at other Chinese cafes. So my questino is, why is this place so popular? Maybe it's due to the lack of choices around this area, but I wouldn't go back for dinner. read more

Been here so many times but I can't even pretend to like it anymore. Each time I get something, I am let down. I usually get the lunch specials because for the price, what you get is definitely cheaper than other restaurants in the area. You get a large portion of food, a soup, and drink. Ive tried several items such as the satay beef on rice and today I decided to try something new (had no idea what it was): mayalsian style rice noodles with pork and shrimp. The rice dish: tons of rice, small portion of meal and other. It's very plain. Meat and some onions in sauce. The noodles: very plain as well and extremely oily. Way too oily, I found it hard to eat and I didn't finish it. After getting this dish, I found out Malaysian style noodles are like a dry curry noodle. I like sauce so I was quite disappointed with trying something unknown. This place is extremely popular. It's known to everyone in Richmond Hill, I'd like to think (I'm a native here). I can't even say that this food is okay. The menu is pretty extensive so each time I come I can try something new in hopes that it can redeem this place, but so far nothing is great. I would not recommend this place at all. If anything, the milk is is pretty decent. Has a weird after taste/feeling in my mouth but is not the worst. read more

I was just passing by the area and came across Bayview Kitchen. They seem to be the go to place for basic meals. Their set dinners are organized by number of people you are trying to feed. And each party size has a few options. It is a very clever and efficient way of making dinner choices easy. Prices are very reasonable. Even though the set dinner I ordered came with soup and dessert, I ordered an extra hot and sour soup. I was craving hot and sour soup. Boy was that satisfying! No wonder why this place is the worst kept secret of the area. read more

My go to restaurant! I've been coming here for 10-15 years now and they honestly never disappoint. Service is great, and they are quick and accommodating. No matter how busy they are, the waitresses are always smiling and polite, which I feel like is really rare for HK cafes! Food wise, flavours are great and homey. Their Baked Minced Beef with Egg on Rice is super hearty and to die for. I have yet to find anywhere that compares! I also really like their Ma Po Tofu rice. Such a good combination of flavour and spice and so saucy. For dishes, I'd recommend trying the Taro and Chicken in Coconut Cream and the Sweet and Sour Pork! Although they have gone up a little in price in the recent years, the meal is always filling. Still average priced compared to other places in the area though. Lunch comes with a drink and soup, and dinner comes with soup and dessert. Breakfast and afternoon tea comes with the drink only. The only two downsides about this place is that their milk tea is slightly lacking, and that the place is small. Be expected to wait for a table, but trust me, it will be well worth your wait! read more

Bayview Kitchen has been around forever, they have a loyal base and for good reason. The food is simple, delicious, and well-priced. Lunch specials range from $8.50-$10.50, they're well-portioned and include a drink and a soup. Their milk tea is decent, but I felt their mocha milk tea (milk tea with coffee) could be a tad stronger. Their operations are mostly safe and efficient, everyone was wearing masks but they only accept cash. However they were using tongs to handle all the cash so they're trying to very hard to be safe. They don't do dine in right now, just take out but they have a lot on the menu. We had the curry beef with spaghetti, dry stir fried ho fun with beef, satay chicken with ho fun, tofu and fish on rice and the Yeung chow fried rice. All were very tasty and it was enough for a family of 5 all of whom are big eaters to be very satisfied and full. read more

Slow. If your thinking of ordering food here for dinner call in advance they are slow. They'll quote you 25 mins and it'll take them 45-50mins. So you wait in the restaurant for about an hour before you get your food. read more

This is a tiny hole in the wall hong kong cafe style restaurant. Not many seats. But quick turnover. Ladies working here were extremely pleasant and very smiley and apparently have been here forever. They have lunch specials that are super cheap ($5-8) but other times are also cheap. Food itself was pretty good, tried bites of their tomato sauce pork chop, black pepper beef, curry beef and egg drop soup. They only take cash here. read more

Pros: Plenty of lunch specials to choose from Prices are alright Cons: Portions are on the small side Place is small Had to come up to the Carter's near here to pick up a Jacket for my little one and decided to stop here for lunch. Bayview Kitchen is your typical HK style cafe. It doesn't do anything to stand out from the rest but it doesn't do anything horrible to make you not want to come back either. Walking in, you notice right away this place is small. There's 3 round tables, 3 tables for 4 and a single table at the front for 2. When we came in, there were 2 tables being seated. Within 10 minutes though, the place was full and people had to wait. I would not recommend coming during peak times as you most certainly have to wait. If you're someone who doesn't like to share tables with other people, it's even worse. Still, turnover time for a place like this is usually quick so that helps. For lunch, Bayview Kitchen offers a lot of lunch specials ranging from $5 to about $12-13. Each special comes with a drink and soup. We weren't given any other menu so I assume that if you want something other than the lunch specials, you might be out of luck. I ordered the fried udon noodle with beef and my GF had the Chicken with eggplant on rice. As with most HK style cafes, food comes out relatively quickly after you order. I don't have anything to really say about the food, it tastes as it should. I just want to make note that the portions are smaller than I'm used to. Looking at my pics, the plate my udon came in was rather small. I glanced over at another table who ordered the baked rice and the dish they serve it in is smaller as well. If you order the rice specials as my GF did, you get a much bigger plate used. That's your best bet for bang for the buck here. All in all, Bayview Kitchen is a decent place to get your HK style cafe fix. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area but it's not something I would go out of my way to come to. read more

I bet no Brazil fans wanted to cook or even eat after the heartbreaking game! What a good excuse to get take-out. Passed by here and pulled in. It is a small restaurant and it was kind of quiet. Ordered sweet and sour pork and a half soy sauce chicken. The food were ready in 10 min! They used aluminium containers and the food were still hot when I reached home. The sweet and sour pork was a bit soggy after it had been covered in the container for 20 min. Taste good tho! Guess it would be better if dine in. Chicken didn't have enough flavor. Will go eat in sometimes and try sweet and sour pork again. No mood in eating today actually : ( * 10% on pick up order * ^^ complimentary dessert even for take out ** read more

I ordered a lunch special fried rice ($7). It was rather salty, oily, and delicious, assuming you like sodium. My dining partner ordered a baked rice with pork chops ($6). The rice was a bit dry, so thank god for the tomato sauce that was artificially reddish in color. The portion was not big, just enough for a single person servicing, but it came with a Hong Kong style milk tea or coffee. The services was efficient but not the most smiley. But I don't expect that at a low cost venue. Parking is difficult. read more

Tried this restaurant with my parents. We ordered half a deep fried chicken, seafood fried rice and stir fried rice noodles with beef. The deep fried chicken was pretty good - kind of like peling duck, but chicken, it was served with pringles which was kind of odd. The fried rice was bland and a bit wet compared to normal white rice. The stir fried noodles were really good, drenched in sauce with beef and a few stems of chinese broccoli. You also get free chicken and corn broth as well as sweet porridge-y dessert. It's a very small restaurant - as in theres 6 to 8 tables. They encourage takeout and you get 10% off your bill if you do. read more

This is a very small restaurant with less than 10 tables. If you are looking for a cheap lunch with good food, this is the place to be. For $7.50, you will get a bowl of daily soup(see photo), a meal that you ordered(see photo) and a drink. We went there this morning to have an early lunch. Ordered Baked Pork Chop and rice with Tomato Sauce; and Rice and Beef with Honey Pepper Sauce. They were both very tasty and didn't feel thirsty afterward(No MSG, I guess). I would give it a 5 stars rating if not because of the rusty floor and old washroom. The tables; wall and fixtures looks new(renovated?). read more
