    Breakfast combo with pork liver macaroni soup and cold milk tea~
    Edward L.

    The OG discount HK food court booth in the President Plaza food court. This booth is tucked away at the very back, around the corner. Look for the lineup. Parking is available in the parkade next to the building. Staff are very quick and efficient. Just bark out your order and get out of the way. Their dishes are great comfort food. Cheap and tasty. The toast and eggs are satisfying. I also had beef soup which hit the spot. The combo comes with a drink of choice. Can't go wrong with milk tea. Best to come to this food court outside of peak hours to avoid the hordes. Can't go wrong with any of the food here. Recommended.

    We only came here for one thing---Scallion Oil Pork chop over Dried Noodles. It was so good. It came with a drink, so we got Honey Lemon. It was so refreshing. We were on a food crawl, so we shared one dish. It's on the 2nd floor food court at President Plaza. There's a central space filled with tables and surrounded by maybe 7 stall counters. You order the food and they give you a buzzer that goes off when the order is ready. It was about a 10 minute wait.

    Cha Kee is a food court restaurant inside President Plaza. It is located at the second floor all the way at the end. We ordered the pork chop with scallion oil noodles and honey lemon drink. Pretty generous amount of pork chop over a ramen style noodles So good! Very tasty! Service is simple, pay cash as you order. You are given a buzzer to notify you when order is ready for pick up. I'll be back to try other food items on the menu. Excited!

    I really wanted to like this place. Was super excited to try it out because of all the hype. A bit disappointed because the food and iced coffee were just average to me. The eggs were creamy, which was the highlight, but the pineapple bun and coffee were not memorable at all. Good to try once but don't need to come back here. Pineapple bun with egg was $7...I ate the egg and the top of the pineapple bun and threw out the rest.

    This HK style breakfast spot is busy with a ton of locals around. I came around 9/10am in the morning and was supervised to see the whole floor packed with people. I've tried the stalls around this stand before to great success and this time felt a bit more like exploring - which led me to this place I ordered the number 2 combo which also came with a drink. I chose the yin yang which featured a tea-coffee mix which was not sweet but pretty good. The eggs were well cooked, just on the boarder of runny and firm. The toast was also perfectly toasted Would recommend coming to try some great HK breakfast the next time anyone is in the area

    Siu Mai "very spicy" (not really) - IG @bougiefoodieboi

    A very affordable fast casual HK style cafe located in President Plaza at the food court on the 2nd floor. It is a bit hard to find as the spot is located near the end of the food court, but you cannot miss the line. There's a fairly long line around 1pm Saturday, about 15 minutes, but with the amount of delicious choices in the menu, it took around that much time for us to land on what we want to get. We got the ham and thick egg sandwich, meal set B (satay beef with instant noodles (+$1 surcharge) which came with toast and more eggs and a drink), and the siu mai very spicy. For the drinks, we got the HK milk tea hot and the yin yang (HK milk tea with coffee). All of this was around $30CAD for a fairly filling meal - hard to find in most places these days. The ham and thick egg sandwich hits the spot despite fairly basic ingredients. The sandwich is buttery and the egg is quite runny and smooth. The meal set B has very flavorful and tender satay beef and the instant noodles hit the spot for comfort food. I'd have wished the noodles to be cooked a bit more al dente. The toast and eggs were also quite buttery and cooked perfectly. The siu mai is decent. It's not the pork siu mai you get in dim sum but more of fish ball siu mai. The very spicy is not spicy at all - just think of it as Cantonese level of spiciness which is fairly tame compared to Sichuan. I took off an additional star because there was a big hiccup on the order - it took average 10 min for the buzzer to be on and they gave us the wrong order, so we ended up waiting an extra 10 min to get the correct order without any apologies or a little extra of something. For a place that prioritizes speed, it was a bit unacceptable.

    Set B upgrade to instant noodles
    Cristalle L.

    Fresh off a trip to Hong Kong, I was itching to try Cha Kee to see how they compared. I arrived just after 9am and the food court area was quiet - easy to grab a table and no line up. I ordered the all day set B and upgraded to instant noodles, with a hot honey lemon as my drink. They gave me a buzzer and I started reading while waiting... So engrossed I didn't realize quite 15-20 mins had passed and my buzzer still hadn't gone. Luckily, the sweet cashier came looking for me and said my lucky buzzer wasn't charged so it didn't go off when they rang it. 5/5 customer service! On to the food - set B is the satay beef on noodles. I felt it was quite salty although the beef itself was tender and not chewy/no tendons at all. The eggs, which I asked for scrambled, were cooked 5/5 for Vancouver standards - silky and mostly soft. But if I had to compare to HK, it was a step below as it was a tad more overcooked than what I was served overseas. The toast was also barely toasted - would have appreciated a more obviously crunchy solid toast whereas this one was mostly just plain white bread. Honey lemon tea was fine - hot and not overly sweet. By the time it was 10am, the food court was packed with people and and there was a long lineup at Cha Kee. If you want to get a seat and eat comfortably, you'd best be there latest 930am! Overall a solid choice and would return if I'm in the area before 930am, though I might try the pork chop instead as that seemed pretty popular as well. I also realized afterwards that she didn't charge the +1 for noodle upgrade so I guess it was my lucky day!

    Incredible Hong Kong Milk Tea and fluffy, creamy scrambled eggs! A must try if you're ever in the Richmond area

    Holy moly this place was good! I went in without too many expectations but the chicken thigh was perfectly crispy in the outside while tender and soft inside. The eggs were smooth and creamy and perfect. Even the coffee was just the right amount of strong. A few tips: 1. Cash only (or e-payments, but as a tourist from America I didn't have that). I had to run to an ATM across the street. 2. The menu is in Chinese with the English translations written in really faint and light letters underneath. You essentially won't have a chance to look at the menu in line if you don't read Chinese, so look up what you want ahead (or do what I did and panic order something when you get to the front - it'll probably still be delicious) 3. There's very limited seating, so stake out a spot or get to-go I'd totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a surprisingly cheap delicious breakfast in Richmond!

    5 spice braised pork breakfast set and siu mai
    Kevin E.

    Was intrigued by their 5 spice braised pork since this is really hard to find so decided to come here for breakfast part 2 lol. Loved the flavor and spiciness of the pork but found it a bit dry. The instant ramen was cooked to just the right firmness. The breakfast set also comes with buttered toast and eggs and dare I say I liked this more than the one we had at Australia Dairy Company? The egg was perfectly silky, buttery and smooth. HK milk tea was solid. Overall, great option in the President Plaza food court and you get a ton of food at a very affordable price.

    Satay noodles, macaroni with ham with a side of eggs and toast
    Holly C.

    A solid 4.5 star offering authentic Hong Kong style breakfast and tea. We arrived on a Thursday morning and there were no lines at all and we ordered the satay beef instant noodles, macaroni with ham, and the Swiss sauce chicken noodles. This is as authentic it can get. The satay beef noodles definitely hits the spot as it tastes exactly what you get in Hong Kong. Noodles were al dente. However, I feel the beef could be a little more tender as it was a little dry to my liking. For $14 CAD, you get your bowl is decent portion of satay noodles, plus and side of toast and eggs and a hot drink (need to add additional $1.5-2 for cold drinks) and this is a steal compared to what we get in nyc. Not to mention nothing is comparable taste wise. The eggs were a highlight as it was moist, creamy and fluffy. Their milk tea was strong in tea flavor yet smooth and not too sweet. The chicken in the Swiss sauce noodles were perfectly cooked as it was moist, tender and flavorful. I cannot comment on the macaroni with ham as my kids devoured it and didn't leave any for me to try but my son is a foodie and claims it's the best one he's had in awhile. Staff were super nice and efficient and food came out quickly. It is cash only and they are closed on Sundays (found out the hard way as I attempted to go back on a Sunday to try other items on the menu). It is in a food court and although it was easy for us to find a table since we went on a weekday, I have heard it gets really busy on weekends. We've tried several other Hong Kong stale cafes in the area and this was overall the best. Would definitely go back again before we leave.

    Good Hk cafe food Satay beef with noodle - good portion and taste good Lemon tea - no a lot of tea taste milk tea - good and smooth Egg and toast - scramble eggs are good and runny Service was quick. ambiance is okat a food court.

    Jeff J.

    Plenty of parking in the area for this one - located in the President Plaza. Personally - found this a little overhyped and don't really see the WOW that made this place have such a long line up. Before you attack me, I'm not saying it's bad, just nothing special - Maybe I just didn't order the correct items that is giving everyone the wow factor. It can get pretty crowded here - as it's a food court setting - so can also get quite noisy. People will be eyeing your table like a hawk - in some cases they will just sit at your table - without asking if the seat is taken lol... The instant noodles tasted like instant noodles, the satay beef was pretty dry for me, and didn't have much flavor. - toast is toast. The Eggs however was very tasty. - lemon tea seemed to be missing sugar - I'm assuming i might have just had a bad batch as majority had amazing experiences. - will find a time to give them a second chance.

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?

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.

We also noticed that the portion wasn't as big as what we usually received on weekdays. The complementary soup that came was lukewarm so that was already one point off. The dishes when served were not presented nicely. For example, there was food hanging off the plate and pot (they eventually fell to floor) or spilled sauce on the table. Even my favorite dish stir fried beef rice noodles was just mediocre today. We ordered 6 dishes and every single dish was salty and greasy. It really felt like they were made in haste. It was overall a disappointment and I don't think I'd want to visit the restaurant on a Saturday again.
