We love eating here. Everything tastes amazing. My fav is the pork chop with chicken cutlet over sizzling plate(somehow they didn't have the plate today but that's ok) the fried fish and beef tongue is also good! I would definitely recommend it! (The portion is huge!) Service is ok, they won't add water unless u ask but that's common for a lot of Chinese restaurants. I think the deco is pretty cozy. read more

Copa cafe is a Hong Kong style restaurant. I believe they had at one time, several locations around the lower Mainland and now down to just two...this one and the one in Richmond. Stopped by for lunch midweek to met up with a friend who resides close to this location. Opted for the beef brisket with thick noddle stir fry lunch special. The brisket was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the noddles....but would have enjoyed more brisket in the meal. I liked that it came with soup and I opted for the tomato based soup. I quite liked the soup...almost more than the brisket. At $21.95, it was a good value lunch. It was a positive food experience but with so many similar restaurants in and around the Lower Mainland, I have no plans to return. read more

Wow Expectation vs. Reality. When asking the manager why a cut-in-half, shrivelled and inedible frozen hard-as-nails lobster tail was on the plate after paying $30+ when the picture seemed to show a full size edible lobster tail he said "never believe the pictures". No apology, just a convincing shrug like he had heard this complaint before. My entire table thought I had ordered a prawn, it was that small. it tasted like they had heated up the half tail again and again because it was completely inedible. Go to Copa Cafe in Coquitlam at your own risk. Terrible service and food quality. This is the second time for me, not giving them a chance again . read more

I haven't been to Copa Cafe here in years. They are your typical HK cafe joint. Don't expect quality service. They are no frills and fast. We arrived at 5:30pm for a family of 4. There were booths available but didn't seat us there. We were made to wait for a smaller table despite back f a toddler. Maybe because I haven't had their food in awhile, it was tasty. We ordered the seafood baked rice. It looked impressive but when you think about it, the mussel shell takes up a lot of space. It was filled with imitation crab and onion. It was still tasty. We did the B+B sizzling plate meal. The sizzle was a novelty since I haven't had it in awhile. We ordered it with fried fish and pan fried chicken with garlic gravy. The pan fried chicken was very good. It comes with a bun and house soup. We chose the creamy one and I am surprised my toddler liked it. The iced lemon tea had ice in it but it wasn't cold. It had quite a good tea flavour. read more

Copa (cup) of disappointment... Picking up something in the Poco area and was deciding on some Korean food or this place. In the end, decided on this place since it's been decade or longer since I have been to this place. Upon entering, it seems like the interior went through a bit of change and renovation. The place was pretty empty except for 3 booths seated with customers, maybe it was near closing time (1.5hrs before closing). Everything appeared to be clean throughout the restaurant with a comfortable spacing between the tables and booths. The service was subpar from the server, maybe she was more focused on cleaning and getting off work. When the owner/ manager took over, it was a lot better and she was more polite. Here were the food I ordered; 1. Sizzling Hot plate combo B+B (chicken steak & sausages) with borscht soup, spaghetti , cold lemon tea. The chicken was a little dry and the soup was a bit off and warm only. And the hot plate didn't sizzle at all, maybe a 3 second frisk sound? 2. Sizzling hot place combo A+B (filet mignon & deep fried oysters) with lobster bisque, steamed rice, add lobster tail $23 extra. The filet mignon was horrible, first time ever struggling to chew a filet mignon, it was dry and didn't taste fresh. The oysters were little midgets. The steamed rice was more like overnight rice just added a bit of water and a quick heat up by the microwave, it was dry and hard. And lastly the lobster tail was horrible; it had that bad fishy taste to it, one tiny bite from that and had to stop cause not worth food poisoning myself from it. And once again the sizzling plate wasn't even warm!! (Facepalm) The only thing okay was the lobster bisque. Overall, I was quite disappointed with the food. I don't remember it being this bad? What happened? Closer to closing time and whoever the cook in the kitchen was didn't give 2 cents about the food being served? Is it really that hard to hire a decent cook nowadays after the pandemic? And for crying out loud, it only takes 30 seconds to heat up the iron plates and how can one pawn off such a bad bowl of rice in a Chinese restaurant? I honestly would send this cook packing for retirement if working for me, definitely wouldn't tolerate this kind of bs jeopardizing my business. I guess I retained my good nature and composure by taking into consideration that the owner/manager was very polite and friendly; very poise and elegant with the services. I guess that's the only good part of this experience and kept my positivity inlined. Just enjoyed a quick instant noodle when back home lol read more

Copa Cafe is a solid HK style cafe option if you are looking for some classic Chinese comfort food. We stopped by for weekday lunch at 2 pm and the restaurant was surprisingly busy. We ordered a couple items and drinks. I had the Portuguese style seafood with rice with an iced lemon tea. Food arrived fairly quickly. My rice dish was loaded with pieces of potato and seafood. There was a good amount of sauce. The lemon tea tasted as expected. Service was good. Staff readily helped when we wanted to place our order or ask for the bill. Credit card payment accepted with bills over $25. read more

Very Bad service! We hv been to this restaurant many times and it was ok but this time, it's terrible. Bad service bad food! The waiter who took our order was rude to start with. He pretty much was rushing us to place the order and when we told him that the pork chops were not fresh and smelled funny, he said it had nothing to do with him and we should tell their kitchen staff. We told him we would if we could access their kitchen. He then walked away. Besides that, he gave us the wrong take out order. Pretty much nothing went well! Disappointed! Don't think we will ever go again. Honestly it doesn't even deserve 1 star! read more

This is a typical Hong Kong style cafe located in a strip mall close to Coquitlam Centre. They now have more booth seatings for parties of 4, in addition to the few 6 seat booths. There are small tables for 2 which can be joined to accommodate larger parties. The food is slightly above and reasonably priced. The menu is typical of a HK style cafe. read more

Currently, my favourite HK breakfast in the city. A short walk from Lincoln skytrain and parking in the plaza. Lots of variety, your classic A+B kind of deal starts from $12.75. There are some subs I always get like substituting regular toast or hashbrowns to french toast for $1. I really like their chicken steak for the noodle dish which is also an extra $1 but it feels worth it to me. The chicken steak reminds me of the famous chicken wings from Aberdeen. Most noodle types are $1 extra but, the portion is huge! When I eat this in the morning, I can be full until dinner :) For around $15 total, I feel like it's well worth it. Wash it all down with a hot milk tea! read more

My family's favourite breakfast spot. Food and service quality is consistent, even during busy hours. The restaurant is also well-maintained.

Copa Cafe - Rib Eye Steak with Eggs and French Toast - Cantonese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

A Hong Kong style cafe, with free parking and across from a well known bubble tea shop. What's not to love? The menu is eclectic to say the least. They have Western style food like stake and lobster with your choice of pasta, rice or fries. They have HK Portuguese style baked seafood dishes over rice and covered in a light creamy curry sauce. They're serving sandwiches and soup. Do you enjoy choosing your own noodles, soup and meat options? They have that too. And of course they have a variety of Cantonese rice and noodle dishes. If it was closer to where I lived, I'd probably go and eat here at last once a week. Its good if you're with family or a bunch of friends and just order a few dishes and share. read more

I came here recently with my family to try their lobster dinner combo - 1 full lobster dish + 3 dishes of your choice for $98. The lobster was actually quite good. We chose the flavour to be steamed with garlic. For our 3 dishes, we chose the eggplant hot pot, pork chops with walnut, and the fried halibut. Generally, I think it was a good deal and you could choose from 49 different dishes. You can also add up to 6 dishes for a higher price.

Finally had an opportunity to return to Copa Cafe since its closure and I was happy to be back. Set up as a Hong Kong Cafe type restaurant, it sticks close to being true and authentic. I like their lunch menu and my review is specifically for their "Mini Set" baked dishes. My "go-to" is the chicken with the house special sauce and my boyfriend rotates around the pork baked dishes and their many sauces. I find the protein generous and we get a cold drink on the side for an extra $1. (I normally order the milk tea or lemon tea.) Service is quick and abrupt, they are attentive but you might need to wave them down. I don't mind it, but it might not be for everyone. Post Covid era, I give them a thumbs up for their social distancing practices. All staff wore mask and gloves, they also spaced everyone adequately apart. Overall, this place is on my rotation list for a nice meal. read more

Copa Cafe - Baked chicken with house special sauce and side of lemon tea. - Cantonese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Reasonably priced food with large portioned mains. Breakfast deals are attractively priced and will serve as brunch or even lunch for sure! Service is friendly and prompt. Servers well dressed and appear efficient, the place is clean, functional and unfussed! They must however do something URGENTLY about their horrible, filthy washrooms! These are shocking for a place with an ambience that otherwise demonstrates cleanliness and organization. read more

This is a favourite among the exHong Kong locals. So that's a plus. You know the food is appreciated by the same ethnic people as the creators. Made by Hong Kongers for the Hong Kongers. Flavour wise is familiar. Thumbs up for that. Value wise, unfortunately is a Thumbs down. So many times for example the Baked Cheese dishes are fillers like onions, peppers, and potatoes. Instead of "Baked Seafood", it should be called Baked onions. Etc. Couple of times, I have the dishes back complaining about the fillers, the plate come back full of peppers instead of potatoes. They are jokers. The whole pretend to give you a deal but short change you with fillers is such a scammy thing to do. We have been to this franchise 1/2 dozen times, and have always had the same experience. I am giving 1 star for the authenticity of the food, and another for ok service. I rather they up the price than put in so much fillers. read more

We were convinced by some of the hyped up reviews and decided to try this place. We ordered shrimp and egg noodle, laksa noodle soup, Japanese pork cutlet, original bubble tea, HK style coffee. -Shrimp and egg noodle: noodle had been pre-cooked, so it became a big lump when I got it. Tasted ok, but it was overly greasy. It should've been called "lump of over-cooked noodle doused in oil with some shrimp and egg". Did I mention they used too much oil? -Laksa: Again over-cooked noodle. Broth was too salty. Noodle was over-cooked. Not the laksa we were used to. Noodle=over-cooked. Oh yes, a couple of the fish balls were still frozen. -"Japanese" pork cutlet: not Japanese style at all. Wrong batter, wrong way to fry, no meat, wrong sauce (tasted more like oyster sauce based Chinese sauce than soy sauce based Japanese sauce), and what's with the 3 portions of rice?? -Service: 2 waitresses intentionally avoided us after making eye contact. Whenever we asked for something, they seemed confused and made sure to tell us any changes or additions would cost extra. We asked for a slice of lemon for laksa which cost us extra $.50. -coffee and milk tea were acceptable. One good thing out of this whole experience: we know not to go back. read more

Service of the head waiter was bad and rude. I arrived at 10:45am today and the head waiter said "don't wait for breakfast and it's over when you are seated". It looked like it is not an advice and it's an order. How dare you are in an service industry. read more

Interestingly enough, this location seems to have a more pleasant feel compared to the Vancouver location. I can't quite put my finger on it but I suspect it's because it is more spacious. Parking is ample thanks to the restaurant being part of a strip mall. I had the spicy beef "linguine" (but the actual dish uses spaghetti). Oh wow this was good! Steaming hot, with lots of flavour! This one's a keeper. Service was a bit slow though, probably caused by the spaciousness. We were sitting in an isolated area, and therefore had to flag down the staff or they wouldn't notice us. Recommended if you are in the area and need a HK-style fixing. read more

Copa Cafe - Shredded beef spaghetti~ - Cantonese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

If i could, i would give the coquitlam location a fat fucking zero..... Just finished a meal there and the service is absolutely terrible. When we were seated the seats smelled very weird, it smelled like someone spilled stuff on it and just didn't clean it up. The service was very bad, a waitress spilled a hot coffee on my brother and she didn't even apologize. The waitress was carrying a full plate full of drinks, while she was off loading the drinks very rapidly and carelessly this resulted in her spilling the coffee on my brother, luckily the coffee didn't burn him. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

We went for the lobster meal that came with 4 dishes in addition to the lobster with our choice of sauce over egg noodles.

Hong Kong-style café in Coquitlam offers all the usual suspects. Menu is virtually identical to every other HK-style Cafe I've been to. Pricing is perhaps 50¢-$1.00 higher than other places. Waiters and waitresses here were much older, perhaps in their 40's to 50's which is somewhat surprising as most other HK-style café's have much younger employees. Service was prompt and courteous. Food took a while to come out....about 12-15 minutes...which is longer than I would expect. I ordered a Japanese deep-fried chicken cutlet and fried egg over rice. Serving size was good, but not generous. They did not drizzle enough sauce. The egg was overcooked for being sunnyside up, making it really rubbery. The meal came with a free hot beverage so I ordered lemon tea. But, I found the free tea to be so much better. Overall, Copa met my expectations, but did not exceed any of them. read more

I came to Copa Hong Kong Cafe for lunch with my parent. It was around 12:30pm. I thought the restaurant must be packed and we had to wait for a long time. But we didn't have to wait. We were lucky to get a table right away. The menu has a wide variety of food from western fusion styles to Asian ones. I ordered a dish of fried kiteow in Hong Kong style and my mom ordered a dish of assorted meat fried rice vermicelli with spicy shrimp paste from the mini menu. The dishes were not mini at all. We had to pack half of each of our dishes home. The food also came with a drink, so my mom ordered a cup of hot lemon water and I ordered a cup of coffee and milk tea mix (ying yang). The food and drinks tasted great. The prices were 50 cents more than other HK cafes but the portions were bigger. We could use a Copa VIP card to collect points. The service was good. Waitresses and waiters were very efficient and took care of the customers properly. Copa in Coquitlam has been renovated since early summer. The environment and interior design are better than before. Tables are bigger and chairs are more comfortable. I know this branch will have a competition with M Cafe and Deer Lake Garden HK cafe that is very close by. Copa needs to maintain a good quality on food and customer service in order to stay competitive with other HK cafes. I would come back for lunch in the near future. read more

Copa Cafe - Curry with fish fillet - Cantonese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

We were planning to go to a neighboring vietnamese restaurant but it was closed for vacation, so we decided that after years of seeing Copa Cafe, we'd finally try it. And I'm so glad we did! Very friendly helpful servers, quick turnaround for piping hot food, a huge assortment of delicious meal options... And surprisingly affordable prices... Typically 13 to 15 dollars for a mini set menu lunch, including hot beverage. The portions were so big we each took some home. Everything we tried was quite good. Lots of deep, robust flavour because of the plentiful use of interesting spices, vegetables, and other ingredients. There seems to be something here for everyone. Lots of nice Honk Kong Cantonese dishes and other Chinese items, as well as many meals inspired by other Asian and western regions. Sure they may not be authentic Japanese or European, but they're probably all tasty. I had ramen noodles in hit and sour soup, and it was some of the best hot and sour soup I've had. It has the typical spice and twang you expect, but a lot more rich earthy flavour. The ramen noodles are a welcome addition to turn this into something you can eat a lot of. The Shanghai noodles are also very very good. Tonnes of flavour, and not too spicy. In fact, it could be spicier. The drinks are great too. read more

I think copa has been going down hill since it opened a few years back. Maybe they are taking advantage to the fact that there aren't much other options in terms of (asian cafe's) nearby in the area. Hmm gives me business idea :P They constantly keep changing their menu and their pricing. Heck, i wonder if they still have their late night good deal prices. Service has always been wishy washy. But some personal favorites are: Thai chicken fried rice read more

This was my first time at Copa Cafe. We went around 6pm and it was fairly empty but shortly after got extremely busy. The service is fast! I was a little overwhelmed with how many options there were on the menu. A lot of different things I have never tried before but I stuck with something familiar, Hot & Sour Soup. It came with an option of Small or Large. I ordered the small and it was a bigger portion than I anticipated. That was nice! I loved the flavor and would order again. read more

Copa Cafe - Cantonese Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

walked in the place and got advised that their phone lines (and or computers??) were down so everything was CASH only, no debit/gift card or membership points, etc accepted. Sounds odd but It was OK to me so I walked in and take a seat. they had a July promo going on for members only:- FREE upgrade to a premium drink. I asked for that and the waitress said it was not available as the computer was down. I don't think it would require any computer or internet connection to validate a drink upgrade as you need to present your membership card anyway. Is that the way this restaurant is being managed or its just the waitress that doesn't know how to handle? So there was no business in the good old days without computers? The place has only three tables with guests on a sunday afternoon you probably know whats happening. there used to be a location in vancouver (king ed and cambie) and it was burnt down during early COVID (???!!!). I got a gift card balance left or else I won't be considering going to that place again!! read more

Great food. Most defiantly one of the better HK cafes. Fair warning though. If you don't speak Cantonese don't bother coming here. They won't serve you as nicely. Good service if you speak Cantonese. I love their food and the bubble tea. Sooooo gooooood. Chicken wings are awesome. Since it is a HK cafe, there are some Portuguese and English influences. It's fusion. But defiantly authentic HK. Lemon tea is the bomb. As for price, it's a bit pricy, but worth it. Service is as any other good HK cafe. Efficient. They don't waste your time by trying to be your friend. Efficient and quick is all you need, ESPECIALLY at a HK cafe. Simple as that. The menu is fairly large. You know, the norm for HK. Love this place. read more

Random Breakfast in Coquitlam Review. I'm not a fan of Copa. I haven't been a fan since the first time I've been here almost 3 years ago and I still don't like them now. The decor is nice, the parking is convenient, and the location of an hk style cafe around this part of town is nice; however, thats all the positive things I have to say. I'm probably nitpicking quite a bit here, but I have a huge issue with services when dining in any Asian Cafe. I'm not a fancy diner, so I'm not expecting to be treated like royalty, but does it hurt to maybe put on a smile at 8 in the morning? Or simply just maybe pay a little more attention when you're taking orders or bringing out food? The waiters working there that morning just didn't seem to care. While we're ordering, they'll look at some other table while scribbling down our orders and reply with "mhmm". When we asked for 2 bowls to share they took 5 minutes and brought us 1. When we asked if item X can be combined with item Y on the menu they just told us you can do whatever is written on the menu.. All that just feels a little rude to me. The food itself was alright.. I mean... how badly can you screw up eggs, sausages and noodles? So don't have much to say about that. It's a pity there isn't any other Chinese cafes around this area and Copa is the only restaurant for HK cafe style food around here because that is also an excuse for them to charge the prices they charge.. read more

I deserved to suffer paying for a substandard meal....I should have known better! An oriental place serving rib eye on a sizzling platter coupled with an Earls type pricing should have been enough of a hint for me to run away! But noooooooo....I had to be a curious cat since the menu looked interesting! For $50, we got: - Beef and Chicken satay: Don't bother...totally tasteless - B+B+B combo...yuck. Chicken looked like it was from Ethiopia. Beef was overcooked that it was so dry even a camel would choke on it. - Hot and sour soup...urrrgghhhhh - mash potato....stay away; you know its nasty when the gravy doesn't move and the potato stays in the same perfect shape after you scoop it! I really don't know how it manages to stay in business....but won't be going back unless my memory fails me! read more

Service wasn't that bad. Food was TERRIBLE. AWFUL. I couldn't even finish half of my food. It was seafood noodle or something. It was dry, undercooked, and smelled wierd.

Very standard, very bland HK-style cafe food in Coquitlam. The decor was dark, service wasn't remarkable and the food wasn't anything special. The benefit of eating here is that the food is cheap, and you can create your own combination of side dishes. The cream soup wasn't fresh, it was hard to determine how my steak was cooked even though I requested a medium-rare since the meat was thin, and the peppercorn sauce did little to add to flavouring. My sides included a sausage which I found overcooked and overdosed in sodium. If I were to return, I would have to desperately crave the food at Copa Cafe. Otherwise, there are better places to eat in Coquitlam. read more
