Ambience: N/A (ordered through phone and drive through pick up) Taste: 3/5 Value: 2/5 The menu here is pretty big but not everything is worth the price. I definitely recommend the 20pc chicken (my favorite flavor is Honey Garlic). Which is the only thing I've seen consistently taste good here. Recently, I got the hainan chicken (pic below) to try it out because I always want hainan chicken. The sauce on Hainan Chicken is okay, the rice is really good but the chicken is mediocre. I would say it's an okay dish there. The plus side, it does come with a drink. I got the iced lemon tea. Which did not taste like lemon or tea. Taste like water. So I don't recommend the lemon iced tea. It's also not really worth the price. read more

Food is average as usual. People come here for wings and beer because it's pretty darn cheap. I've been here three times and it's honestly just gotten worse each time. There is a new bone I'd pick at every time I came. It's unfortunate because I do like the concept and location. So when I went, my mom and I had to wait for 7 min for staff to validate our existence. And it wasn't even at the hostess table. A staff yelled across the dining area "HOW MANY" in Chinese. Whoo wee. I ordered lamb chops. I figure you can't mess up lamb and also it was $11.50 so it was a sweet deal. I mean not really but it was worth if you're into lamb. Lamb was relatively dry despite the black pepper sauce. Taste wise, it was fine, but the texture was def too dry. It was also super salty so I had to chug a gallon of water. Come only if you have lots of time to spare. Flagging down someone for service require so much effort that you would burn away half the calories you ate there. Also, their quality was not consistent. I didn't go to this place three times because I'm a masochist. They need more staff and their food quality needs to be more consistent to bring me back. read more

I VOMITTED. I've been coming to Cafe Hollywood for years now even before it moved from Market Village to this location to replace Burger King I've always known that the food here isn't the most sanitary or best quality, but tonight, I've had a perspective changing experience. I ordered the lobster seafood casserole for the first time and I've never had anything so terrible. There's definitely something wrong with the lobster or the food handling because within minutes of consuming the lobster, I threw it up. The lobster was unusually dry and had bits a filament in the meat part. The shell was brittle and the lobster antennae were burnt and crusty. It didn't even look proper besides the taste. When I questioned the waiter, he told me there's nothing wrong with the lobster, admitting its frozen lobster from package. Even after seeing my upchuck in a cup, they didnt feel compelled to say anything reassuring. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, I definitely think their kitchen and food handling needs to be checked by the food health and safety authorities. read more

Cafe Hollywood - DISGUSTING LOBSTER, this restaurant should be closed down for this - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Came in on a Friday evening. Although it was busy, we were seated pretty fast. We ordered 2 fried noodle dishes which we thought were quick and simple. This is where things start to go downhill. After 35 minutes we asked a waitress to check on our food. About 10 minutes and no update, it was clear that our order was not coming. Other patrons who came in after received their food within 10 minutes. Basically if you don't order the wings, your order is not worth taking it seems. Disappointing as we've been coming here ever since their Market Village days. After wasting 45 minutes waiting on our food, ended up having to settle for the McDonald's nearby as we were too hungry to bother trying to find another late night option. read more

Been here twice. The first time I got their pork chop baked rice and basket of their wings and fries in curry sauce. The pork chop baked rice was not good at all. I have had better fried pork chopped else where. This one was mediocre at best. The star really is their chicken wings, which is why I'm still giving them a 4 star. They really do have the best chicken wing in town and their curry sauce goes very well with the chicken wing! If you don't want your fries to get soggy make sure to ask for the sauce on the side, otherwise they just pour the sauce on top of everything! The second time I went, I tried out their drive thru and I only order the basket of wings. The order was ready super fast ( less than 10 mins) and it was very tasty. Highly recommend the chicken wings. read more

Cafe Hollywood - Curry sauce chicken wing - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

By far my favorite wings place. Ever since they moved from the Pacific Mall area to this location, you can tell the energy is revamped. There is lots of TV areas to watch sports games. This is the perfect spot for families to enjoy traditional HK cafe items, as well as teenagers and young adults to have a basket of wings, fries, and beers. They have also added bubble tea to their menu which I believe is Share Tea and ensures a good quality drink which is rare when added onto an existing restaurant. This location also has a takeout and drive thru option which is really good use of the restaurant space, since I think it took over a Burger King that used to be there. The pricing is excellent, and it is a family owned restaurant that really prides itself in having fun. I have been here for holidays like Christmas and New Years and appreciate all the little things the family owned joint does to make things festive and fun. read more

Love the basket of chicken wing combo. We usually order the ribena sprite for the drink. Our favourite flavour of wings is bbq honey but the pepper salt is also good. All their food is pretty good and the service is decent. They are always busy so sometimes it takes awhile to get service and food but the ambience is good. You can catch a game on their many screens. Would recommend read more

The place is not a bad Hk cafe. Milk tea can honestly use more milk, the tea is not smooth at all. I love how they have all day breakfast and their breakfast is totally worth every penny. You get 2 eggs, ham, a slice of tomato n cucumber, a bun and the bowl of soup noodle. And you get a drink too!!! For dinner we had the lamb loin: there were so much access fat that it made the dish really difficult to cut through to the meat. The multi steak dinner had ribs, chicken and a pork loin? That plate was huge but changing 1$ extra for all veggie is not good cause those are just mixed frozen greens that I can get at the supermarket for $1-2 for a Whole Pack! Can't they serve actual veggies like other restaurants, asparagus, carrot sticks, wedges!?!?!? My friend devoured her bake fillet spaghetti, it must be really good or she was starving?!?! She didn't say it was great so im gonna assume that it was ok. Her friend had the ox tongue rice. They had quite a few pieces of ox tongue! I'm happy and the next time I go I'd like to have it too. Their drinks too way to long to come out I ordered and honey lemon water and my boyfriend had a coffee. I was surprised that my drink came out before his coffee. Unless they were making a new brew I don't understand by it took them 10-15 mins to get our drinks... It's so really had to get the waiters attention. read more

I have been to Cafe Hollywood a few times before, but made a takeout order for the first time recently. I ordered the chicken wings special, where you get 20 wings with fries and gravy for $9.99 when purchased with any pitcher of drinks. But since it was a take out order, instead of the normal pitcher, they give you the equivalent quantity in 4 takeout cups. The wings with my order of lemon tea worked out to be around $27 after tax. The pick up was also a great experience. I called in advance for my order and picked it up by drive thru. You can also order on the spot. Good food for a reasonable price. read more

I've been coming here for more than 10 years (number 1 fan) for their breakfast specials, then eventually for many of my meals throughout the day. I'm not kidding when I say I almost always order a french toast when I come. They're just soooo good (drooling just imagining about it). It's deep fried, so the outer layer is crisp, while the inside is soft top on a slab of butter and it becomes sooo fragrant! Of course, I always add a ton of syrup at the end . $4.95 7240 Kennedy Road . Takeout available, order through the phone or at their drive-thru from 8am - 8pm read more

I haven't been to Cafe Hollywood for decades until recently after it moved to this new location. I want to give credit to Rebecca who works as host as well as cleaning and setting tables. She is always wearing a smile whenever and is very friendly indeed：） As to the food, I didn't try many since my mom is vegetarian. I found almost all dishes are served with meat or seafood. Luckily, there's a fried udon with mixed vegetables. It got a lot of various types of vegetables and was made super delicious. It's a real Hong Kong style cafe. I will go more often. read more

Cafe Hollywood has come a long long way from when they first opened at market village until they moved to their current location. Food wasn't always so bad but as time passes by cafe Hollywood has SERIOUSLY downgraded in food quality. How is it possible to order food and receive it in under five minutes right after cold?.... clearly food is already premade... couldn't have popped it in the microwave Atleast? ... Ordered a basket of pepper chill chicken wings. The wings tasted like original hk style and was just slapped with raw garlic on top... so gross and disappointed read more

My friends and I used to come here 20 years ago, and now wanted to see what it was like today. Since moving to this new location, the vibe has changed to a more sports bar feel. Prices are really affordable, so I see the appeal. As for food, it was pretty thin on the ingredients and cooking seemed a bit amateur. But I'm more lenient at this price point. But when it came down to the chicken wings, we could not eat them because they were not fully cooked. Also the wait staff is young and inexperienced. Hence, the low rating. read more

First time coming by since they moved from the Market Village location and it looks more like a sports bar than a cafe now. Regardless, came by for a weekend lunch and it was pretty much at capacity. Got the seafood casserole (spaghetti) while mom got the chicken in curry. On the whole, there is nothing really to note about the food. Portions are decent, with dishes mainly just tasting like a dousing of sauce. To be fair, prices are pretty value as the combos include drinks, soup and bread. Good spot for a cheap and quick fix. The renovations make it a good place to catch a drink & watch sports, though I can't vouch for the game style foods/snacks. read more

Made a reservation, but we still had to wait awhile anyways, and it's not surprising because seating is limited, lines are huge, and there aren't that many large tables set up. Interior has nice decoration. Lots of movie posters and TV's. Washrooms are ok. We came specifically for their daily wings deal: $16.99 for a basket of 20 wings after 1 PM. Only $9.99 if you make it a combo with a jug of milk, or other drink of your choice like beer, or milk tea, or some carbonated option. They have 6 different flavours to choose from. They recommend HK style (no dressing) and honey garlic, so we ordered those two along with two drinks; of course, one of which is soy milk. Soy milk was a bit too sweet for me but perhaps that is the HK style? I don't know. Each basket comes with fried wings, potato fries, and a bowl of gravy. They give you so much gravy that it is unclear how you would even finish it. Is it for the fries? Or the wings themselves? I do like the gravy. Wings were ok. I liked them. The neat was hot and tender, the skins were very crispy. Others didn't like the honey garlic as much but perhaps that is because they were expecting something closer to honey garlic from toher places; if you pretended that you had no idea was honey garlic tasted like, it might be a bit more enjoyable, though it was still not as good as just naked wings or the garlic chili pepper if you like a little spice (and actual garlic) It's not a bad place for wings, if you don't have specific sauce preferences. I'm a fan of naked wings, and it fits the bill. Did not order any other foods, so cannot say whether they're good or not. Their portions were definitely large though as they were brought to other tables, and you're looking at under $10 for a filling meal. read more

Brought my Indian work mom here since we happened to be right in the same plaza, so I was like let's give this place a try again. We both like the decor of this place and ambience here is not too loud. Place is pretty spacious and clean too. Prices were all more or less affordable since their lunch and afternoon specials range from $6-$10 before tax and tips and they come with tea, bread and a soup. I really enjoyed my baked seafood spaghetti dish here. It was not too hot and had just the right amount of cream sauce. The dish had plenty of shrimps, a mussel and a ton of crab meat. Really, I am pretty easy to please when food is filling, right temperature, tasty and all for under $13 a person after tax and tips. It is truly a place for affordable and sizeable comfort food. Two reasons I gave a lower score were 1) my Indian work mom did not like her soup nor thought that her stir fry was hot enough. It was lukewarm by the time it arrived at our table, while mine was interestingly hot all the way through. 2) when it was time to pay by credit card, I had to walk all the way to the back to pay. They do not have multiple nor a single portable card reader. Otherwise, I would not mind coming back here if I am nearby. Would most likely bring my Indian work mom to a new place next Tuesday as we agreed to do a weekly brunch together this summer. It is nice out so why not? Hoping to find places where I can bring elders to. read more

I came here with someone to watch the Raptors game. This is my first time stepping into a real sports bar. I didnt know the game audio played in the washroom that was really cool. I order the garoupa with cream and he ordered the Portuguese chicken. It was nothing amazing but pretty large portion for price. Its served with noodles or rice under. I think one order is enough for two to nibble on. The four star is because we arrived for our reservation and got a table between rows of booths. We asked for a booth then was told no we need to save for large parties. Then one both went to two-table customer (what?). Then another was available and we were told they were before our booking (what?). And then another was available-I just said dont worry. It was a lovely evening Raptors won. Washrooms are clean. read more

Overall, very tasty if you are in the mood for a traditional Hong Kong breakfast! The price is affordable, and the portions are large. If you get their combo, it comes with ham, eggs, drink of choice, and your choice of entree. Very friendly service. read more

I don't think i would come back to this place. The satay noodle was so bland, they gave you so little satay sauce and the soup is tasteless without it. The beef and fish ball noodle soup is okay, nothing special. The thin cut steak and the pork chop in the happy meal was also bland and nothing special. The thin beef steak was tasteless and the beef had a really strong after taste that is unpleasant... The price of this place is pretty inexpensive but the food taste horrible. To be fair, i've been to hollywood cafe several times, even before they moved. Their quality definitely decreased over the year. They also did not follow the covid protocol. All the table in the restaurants are filled and we are definitely not 2 meters apart. They however have a divider but other restaurant would at least seat people in every other table. i wouldn't recommend this place. read more

They have a special deal of a basket of wings with a jar of beer cost $30. There are different flavours of the wings. There are Hong Kong style, salt and pepper and other styles. I ordered two baskets of wings and two jars of beer to share among four people. The wings inHong Kong style tasted very good.It really tasted crispy and the flavour was very similar to the deep fried chicken leg that was from Hong Kong Maxim Cafe. Somehow, the second basket of wings seems to have more wings and drumsticks. The beer was icy cold. It went very well together with the deep fried wings. Four people could not finish two baskets of fried wings and two jars of beer. It would be nice if there are more tapas food on the menu. read more

One of my favourite restaurant to go to whenever I'm back in Markham! My two go to dishes are the spaghetti bolognese and the happy meal in which you can choose two meats, spaghetti or rice, and a sauce! My favourite is usually the chicken fillet and pork chop with spaghetti in black bean sauce! It's delicious and very filling. They aren't so generous with the sauce though so if you want more you're going to have to ask for it. They also have really good chicken wings so I'd suggest to give that a try too while you're there! P.s this place is generally pretty busy during lunch time so it might be good to make reservations. read more

Cafe Hollywood - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Cafe Hollywood is a Hong Kong Style cafe, offering a menu of eclectic western-inspired noodles, rice dishes and baked casseroles. The quality of their food varies: the chicken wings are really delicious and some of the other dishes I've tried are quite tasty, but others were a bit mediocre in my opinion. The restaurant itself seems to be relatively recently renovated with the multiple flat screen TVs giving it a "sports bar" vibe. Lunch special (11am-3pm) comes with a drink, soup and a dinner roll, and is really good value at $7.50. I tried their "Baked Chicken Portuguese Style", and it was pretty tasty and the portions were quite large. The casserole had a lot of rice and sauce, with a mild/light coconut and curry flavour. For me, the side of vegetable soup ("borscht") was a nice bonus. Some of the dishes that were just OK in my opinion included the "ramen", which didn't have much flavour in the broth, or seemed kind of bland. However, I should probably have managed my expectations... Cafe Hollywood is known for their deep fried chicken wings, particularly the "happy hour" special (1pm - onward) in which a basket of 20-piece chicken wings are $9.99 when you order a pitcher of cold drink (soda, juice, milk tea etc...). The chicken wings come with fries, and a bowl of gravy. The wings were delicious, juicy and super crispy, and while they come in a variety of sauces and flavours (e.g. HK style, honey garlic, sriracha), I especially enjoyed the "HK Style" wings which don't have any sauce on them (for maximum crispiness). Overall, Cafe Hollywood is a decent spot for HK style cafe classics and chicken wings. Be prepared for line-ups on weekends, as it can get really busy. read more

I can't help it. Cafe Hollywood has that comforting nostalgia that I can't get away from despite hit or miss experiences. The original location has closed so this is the only one left. Portions are definitely smaller (I want to say around 2/3 of the portion they used to give) but the taste is the same. You have to know what to get - dishes heavy on the meat are usually on the dry side. The wings are great though not your standard super sauced up Western-style wings. Prices have gone up slightly for some things but I don't mind - they were shockingly cheap to begin with and it's still okay value. They've also introduced fancy new menus where meals are $11 upwards which symbolizes a shift in traditional HK style meals vs. the clientele they cater more to now and perhaps a bigger focus on the "sports bar" theme. They've installed eye-blindingly bright potlights in the pathway up to the restaurant and there's a small patio with string lights now (not sure if it's open). read more

Reason for Visit: Revisiting a very popular Hong Kong style cafe in Markham Menu: Was going for their breakfast specials and immediately noticed all the prices went up. Now each special is around ~$7.50 instead of $5-6. The food is average, but huge portions. The specials come with your 2 eggs, ham, bread, and some veggies. Your main dish is also huge, they really give no regards for daily caloric intake. Service: Quick. It used to be busier, but I think due to the higher prices and more competition it really isn't as busy anymore. I remember back then you would have to wait 20-30 mins to be seated. Now you can probably get a table within 5 mins. Atmosphere: Average. Nice big TVs that plays sports/news. Overall: 3/5. Used to be much better value. I would come by if in area and looking for an inexpensive big meal. They also have wins specials so not a bad option if you looking to watch some sports games with some friends. read more

I like coming to this place for the wings. They have a pretty good deal that comes with fries ($16.99)and you can also get a jug of a beverage. The wings are deep fried, so the dry kind, but they still taste amazing. There aren't as many flavours to choose, perhaps about 5? The fries come with gravy so it's the perfect combination. I came here a few times to watch the bball game, it's decent because it has a few screens to watch from. Overall, the food is generally pretty cheap and comes in large portions. This place is a huge upgrade from their older location. read more

Cafe Hollywood - French toast and lemon tea - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This is one of my favourite HK cafes in the area. They are one of the only ones that still give you *those* buns with your meal. You know the soft fluffy slightly microwaved ones that are cha chaan teng specific. It also has pretty authentic HK cafe "borscht" very reminiscent to the ones in HK with a good tang to it. My go to meal is the baked spaghetti bolognese. It's a good sized portion that is actually baked and has a nice dusting of cheese on top. Another solid option is the Portuguese chicken which has a good sauce but the chicken can be a little more/less dry depending on whether you get white meat or dark meat. The lunch meals comes with a drink (milk tea) and any upgrades have a charge. The cafe itself is loungey and has a lot of banquette seating. There are a lot of TV screens too that are constantly playing CP24 which is good if you're normally an HK breakfast pro but you forgot to bring a newspaper with you. For the folks that prefer their news digital, there is free wifi and the password is noted on the placemat. read more

Cafe Hollywood - Spaghetti - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Captivated by the cheap lunch sets, we decided to give this place a try. Only after did we check the Yelp reviews and sorely regret our decision. I ordered the beef stroganoff set, which came with either rice or spaghetti, a hot drink, and a soup with bread and butter. My mom got the same thing, but with spaghetti, and my dad ordered the chicken curry. While the borscht soup was acceptable, and the sweet bread roll warm and soft, the actual meal itself was disgusting. The roux was unbelievably thick, likely due to all the cornstarch added in. The texture was nasty. The chicken curry had a very similar texture, with few pieces of chicken but lots of potatoes. The service was horrible as well, with spiteful and unnecessary remarks from the staff. They shoved my sister's plate right at my dad when they were delivering the order, and continued to walk briskly by without a word. The fried chicken wings were decent, but the fries were coated in the same batter and fried, giving it a weird texture. Will not return, both due to the poor service and substandard quality of food. read more

This review of Cafe Hollywood is based on my afternoon tea experience. As it is a Hong Kong Style Cafe, I don't really expect much service. But I was left standing at the front for almost 5 minute till I waved someone down so I can be seatd. Maybe I should just seat myself?! No menu, no tea, no nothing till a wait staff walked by and I almost need to tackle him down so I can get a menu. After I ordered, there was still no tea or utensils.... I felt like such a nuisance going after for some basic needs and this really annoyed me... But if the food worth all these hassle and lack of service?! Sadly the food was not even up to par with standard HK style cafe. My Korean Beef Noodle in Soup ($6.50) was served with a cheap instant noodle which was not even been cooked through. The "fresh" beef was a big slice of chewiness. I expect them to at least use better quality of noodle and meat. I really don't know what "Korean" with this item?! I paid $2 surcharge for Presotea's Earl Grey Tea but was served with Hokkaido Milk Tea and at this point, I just felt too tired to complain. It was a weekday afternoon and the restaurant was quite busy. Time to hire more staff to prepare for the Holidays rush! read more

Mediocre service is balanced out by great value chicken wings and afternoon tea specials, plus they have televisions up playing sports games, which is a nice touch for a Hong Kong style cafe. Afternoon tea time is when they got some solid deals: $5.50 for a noodle soup with pork chop is a cheap, quick eat in a good environment with friends (provided you come with other folks. I have to say I'd never come here on my own.) The 20 chicken wings combo is good value too (price depends on what drinks you get with it). The quality is alright. It's not what you're looking for if you are thinking of a fancy dinner - remember, this used to be Burger King - but for an evening or afternoon out with friends, why not? They also have a solid drinks menu between bubble tea and beer; something for everyone! Environment is dimly lit, and in the theme of Hollywood, they got these Oscar trophy-esque statues outside. read more

We had to wait for half an hour to get our reserved table. This was during lunch time on a Saturday with long line ups. Once we sat down, the waitress gave us a decent amount of time to look over the menu before getting our orders. My friends and I ordered two sets of chicken wings on special - chilli pepper and honey garlic. We also ordered a jug of iced milk tea as part of the combo. The chilli peppered wings were absolutely delicious. The honey garlic wings not so much. There was no garlic taste nor were the wings sweet with honey. We all thought that the wings tasted like a bad version of bbq sauce instead. It really was a bit puzzling. The iced milk tea tasted refreshing, albeit very sweet. All in all, it was an ok experience. read more

Cafe Hollywood is the modern, stylish and polished younger sibling of City Hollywood from across the street. The menu offers the HK style east-west fusion staples like baked rice casseroles, all-day breakfast and deep fried french toast. The options are separated by time (lunch, happy-hour, dinner) so remember to check which page applies to you. Also, expect a 20+ minute wait for a table during peak hours. Fortunately, the tables turn over quickly and the service moves fast to keep up with the incoming patrons. I had the garoupa casserole with cream sauce meal ($7.50 11am-3pm) which comes with with a soup, a bun and coffee/tea. The soup options are the typical cream vs borscht soup. The borscht leans heavily on the sour side of the palate, but balances well with the soft buttery bun that comes with it. The main dish of white rice (with scrambled egg chunks) and a large piece of deep fried fish is liberally doused with a thick white sauce. There was a minor attempt at browning the top with a dusting of cheese. The cream sauce was bland, but can be substantially helped with the aid of the pepper shaker. A filling lunch meal that can easily produce leftovers for the next day. The tea brings the meal to a close and is the true litmus test of all HK style cafes. Strong, a beautiful dark caramel color, and without the dreaded dry aftertaste. Green light approval! Personally, I prefer the nostalgic look and feel of City Hollywood, but Cafe Hollywood is more acceptable to the modern aesthetics of most people. read more

I've seen this place mentioned a few times on Instagram and Facebook so I've wanted to try it for a while. Unfortunately, it may be a long while before I return. At first impression, the decor and lighting looked kinda nice. They have lots of big screen TVs that didn't necessarily fit in. The paper placemats didn't seem to match the decor. I though so anyway. The music was a bit loud so I indicated a table for two with my outstretched hand. A server motioned us towards a nearby booth and dropped some menus on the table. Hmmm, my friend and I thought there were some odd items on the menu. There was Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Italian, and who knows what else. Dishes included Spaghetti Bolognese, Russian Bortsh Soup, Baked Chicken in Portuguese Style, Korean Beef in Stone Pot, Stewed Lamb Shank with Red Wine Sauce, Angus 3A Sirloin Steak, Cantonese Style Fried Noodle, Proscuitto and Leek with Spaghetti, Malaysian Larksa with Chicken Noodle in Soup, and lots more. I've been to food courts and food shows with less choices! We had some questions about the menu so I waved a server over. She approached eagerly with a smile but I couldn't understand what she said. Maybe the music was too loud? No, that wasn't it. I have no idea what language she was speaking but it wasn't English. No English at all and no help from her colleagues. Since we couldn't ask her about the dishes that interested us, we ordered the Baked Chicken Portuguese Style and the Grilled Thick-cut Pork Chop by pointing to them on the menu. Apparently, my meal came with a bowl of soup and a salad. I'm not sure if you could actually call it a salad because I finished it in two bites. Literally. The soup was a cream of potato with corn. It was just okay. Not very hot. My friend's chicken dish arrived and it wasn't what we expected. Every Portuguese chicken dish I've seen has been grilled, piri-piri style. This was a coconut curry chicken served over a bed of rice after it had been baked (slightly burnt) in an oven. She said it tasted good. My pork chop arrived, covered in a brown gravy that I wasn't expecting. It was served with a generous helping of white rice and steamed vegetables. It was a little on the dry side, despite the gravy and I could have done without the gravy. The pork chop could have been seasoned a little more. Overall, it was a very confusing experience. We were puzzled by the menu, left guessing by our server, mesmerized by the TV that had a two second delay from the one next to it, playing the same program, and then there was the loud Billboard 100 Pop music. Oh, I almost forgot the screaming kid in the booth next to us. On the bright side, dinner for two was a measley $23.90. read more

Cafe Hollywood is a place where you would go for late night food or simply just for a simple cheaper meal. Their late night wings baskets are pretty decent for a night out with friends when you want to get something fried to eat. Their wings are fried decently and the meat inside is usually juicy. Other than that, the fries are like Costco fries so they taste like your good crispy store bought but satisfying fries. I also like to get their all day breakfast meals as it is relatively cheap and you get decent portions. Nothing special about the food but it does keep you full and the quality of the food is good. They serve presto tea here as well, so if you like their bbt it's a bonus as you can get it with your meal with an upgrade price. read more

I still remember years ago this location used to be a Burger King. Everytime, I come to Cafe Hollywood, it reminds me of good old memories. Not only the wings are cheap, for about a little over $20 you can a full basket of wings and can add jar of beer or interesting pop like Ribena with sprite. Very good price. The Alfredo sauce with chicken and ham is not too salty. Ambiance is nice and comfy. One thing to note they can add more snacks such as fishballs, tofu, for late night snacks to increase the variety of the late night menu. read more
