Food 5/5, Service 5/5, Space 2/5. I think it summarizes my opinion well. The food was amazing, the Hainanese Chicken rice was one of the best I've ever had. Service was amazing, too. They helped us rearrange the seats to fit our 2-year-old kid; it was a kind of sacrifice to move one table in their restaurant. Nevertheless, it was only the biggest problem of this restaurant. It was truly too small! It is that popular, it always has a long waiting line. But it only has a tiny space, it only has a few tables, and it felt completely packed. It doesn't mean I don't like it. Just hope they can change a location with bigger space and let more people go in and make more money!

A tiny Hong Kong cafe in the Langham plaza. It's quick service, comforting food, but expect to wait during busy hours. Just note that the parking here in this plaza is always packed and a bit frustrating. Upon entering around 3PM at this cafe, it was still packed with people and we waited around 5 minutes before getting seated. There's no area for you to wait since the cafe is so small, so you're just awkwardly standing by the door and next to patrons. Food is your typical comfort HK cafe food that hits the spot. Got their onion and ginger chicken on instant noodle which was great flavour and tasty. Their HK style peanut butter toast was also great and a classic. Lemon teas and milk teas were also pretty standard. Overall, come here for a quick comfort meal that hits the spot. It's a fast paced in and out restaurant.

Their famous Hainanese Chicken dish
Alvin Y.

I've only came here for one thing, and that's their Hainanese Chicken rice. It's easily one of the best Hainanese chicken dishes in the GTA! The restaurant is small and a little cramped and the staff is pretty friendly but don't speak much English. There usually is a little bit of a wait so make sure you give yourself enough time! Sometimes they sell out of Hainanese chicken for the day, so you can always give the place a call and ask if you want to make sure they have it! we ordered the: Hainanese chicken with rice - $11.85 - Served with their house-made sauces (sauces include a chilli sauce, ginger scallion oil sauce and a sweet soy sauce) - it is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend - 10/10 Check them out and I'm already excited for my next visit!

Latest visit. We got her around 2pm and there was still a small lineup. I like how they added a bench outside for people to sit and wait. The food was exceptional as usual. The curry beef brisket was meaty and no fat. The baked porkchop with tomato sauce and cheese was delicious. The R7 chicken steak and pork chop with onion gravy was our all time favorite. The service here is friendly and the server can communicate in English and Cantonese. If you're looking for some good Hong Kong style cafe food then definitely try this place.

hainanese chicken rice
Jason M.

A tiny, tiny HK cafe located at Langham Square. You gotta write your name on the clipboard and wait a good 20-30 min on a "good" day. On a day with peak foot traffic, good luck LOL. You already know what it is. Go-to order hainanese chicken rice with some cold milk tea 0 sugar to wash it all down. You can tell the rice has been cooked in a good amount of chicken oil by how fragrant and delicious it is. The chicken is smooth, juicy and boneless (as all hainanese chicken should be served imo). Comes with triple sauces on the side for dipping. Decent portion size (could be bigger). I heard the french toast and curry beef brisket is supposed to be good. Been meaning to try those but every subsequent visit I default to the chicken rice. If you want to avoid any type of wait here, make sure you get takeout. Only attempt dine-in if you can afford time to kill.

Very small cafe, located. Langham Square. Fast service, but not well AC pretty hot Famous Hai Nam chicken rice. Famous HK style mile tea

Located in Langham Square in Markham this is another good cha chan teng option. The place is quite small with less than a dozen tables. It's so small that when there is a wait you add your name to a list attached to the clipboard by the front door and then wait outside because it is too cramped and there is no space to wait inside. Menu is good with all the traditional options. Prices are even better. A baked rice is less than $11.00 and comes with a drink. You can get a breakfast combo for $8.99. What was ordered: Beef satay vermicelli (can also choose macaroni) and egg sandwich (breakfast combo) Baked rice with chicken Beef with the vermicelli was a little tough and chewy. Baked rice was good, chicken was a skin on thigh making it very tender. The place is a little small but the service and flavours were okay. Would be worth another visit if in the area.

Baked pork chop rice, egg and spam sandwich, scallion ginger chicken with chili soy sauce
Jacqueline M.

Small cafe located in Langham square. Finally got a chance to check it out since the last time I want to go the line was too long. This time we got a table fast for not going at prime time (went at 5:30pm). I tried their HK style baked pork chop rice, egg&spam sandwich and scallion ginger chicken. The egg and spam sandwich wasn't that great.m but both rice dishes tasted really good and hit the spot for hk cafe food cravings.The service was fast. We saw lots of people order Hainanese chicken rice there so I'll def go back to check it out one day.

Hainanese chicken
Kevin E.

They're known for their Hainanese chicken so that's what we ordered. The chicken was tender and flavorful (and boneless!) and the rice was very fragrant. It comes with the 3 sauces that the dish is typically served with and I liked the sweet soy sauce the most. The red chili sauce was a bit spicier than the ones I've had at other restaurants. The Hainanese chicken order also comes with a very tasty HK-style milk tea. Great deal! Note: the restaurant is very small so expect a wait for a table or just order to-go like we did.

First time here and I really enjoyed it. Got lucky and was able to get a table fairly fast. The place was small. The service was quite fast as what we ordered really started to come fast. However they do state that you have a time limit as they get quite busy. I really tried many things on the menu and the menu is pretty large. I really enjoyed the Hainanese chicken. The oil rice I really enjoyed. Had good flavor and not salty. The instant noodles and Mac soups were nice. I enjoyed the pineapple butter beard warm and tasty. So many more things on the menu and will really need to try it all.

Cheese Sauce Instant Noodle w/Swiss Chicken Wings.
David N.

When we went to Hong Kong a few years ago, one of the most memorable dishes we ate was a noodle concoction swimming in a rich, delicious cheese sauce. So when we discovered that Garden Hong Kong Cafe was serving something that sounded very similar, we knew we had to try it. We showed up on a Saturday just a few minutes after they opened and the place was already full, so we put our name on their waiting list and came back in about 20 minutes. Obviously I had to order the Cheese Sauce Instant Noodle w/Swiss Chicken Wings, which came with a cup of hot Milk Tea. It's a decent dish, although it didn't remind me much of that one we ate in Hong Kong. The cheese sauce has been applied very sparingly, so the dish isn't as decadent as I might've anticipated. However, when mixed together with the sauce at the bottom of the bowl (and with a very liberal application of the table chili oil), this is quite satisfying and surprisingly filling. The chicken wings are fine but pretty superfluous. I don't think I would ever order this dish again, but I would definitely return to try one of their delicious-looking sandwiches.

Tiny,busy restaurant,hard to find parking Food quality is ok Service was not bad Affordable price

Peggy C.

I've been ordering at this place so many times in the past and I finally decided to give them a review which is certainly late. This place is usually my go tos especially when I'm around the area. This cafe is located in Langham Sq plaza, which parking can be a pain as there's not a lot of parking spots. It's a very small cafe with just a few tables and it's always so busy so I usually just do take out. Prices are very good compared to other HK cafes but they offer mostly rice dishes over noodles. I ordered baked pork chop on fried rice with tomato sauce, pan fried chicken steak with egg on rice, hong kong style French toast which is the afternoon tea for $4.95 and it comes with coffee or tea. Their French toast is bomb, it totally hits the spot especially when you're craving for HK food. Will certainly come back again!

The restaurant is bright and spacious with lots of seatings. Bonus, they even have a few individual seating area. Service was polite and friendly. Ordered a few items to try. Beef fried rice noodles (hor fun), tons of sesame seeds and bean sprouts. Beef was tender and can taste the wok hey. However, the soy sauce is a bit on the sweeter side. Spicy pork soup vermicelli combo comes with eggs and toast. Soup vermicelli was good and flavorful. I opted for scrambled eggs and it was perfectly smooth and creamy. Toasts were a bit on a bland side. Curry fish ball, turnip and pig skin was decent. Slightly oily and also a bit on a sweeter note. Curry beef brisket has a hint of spicyness and has coconut milk. Nice curry taste but also a bit too sweet imo. Brisket was tender overall. Tomato sauce pork cutlet with rice was good flavour. Pork cutlet was crispy and juicy but tomato sauce was a little sweeter than usual. Coconut red bean drink was decent but the red beans were too hard and lacks the sandyness (softer texture). If you've had red bean dessert soup then you would know what i mean. Would of been better if the red bean quality was better. 4 stars overall.

The service was good, staff was attentive and the ambiance was just okay. I would not recommend this place if you like sweet food then you can come here defined not my moneys worth.

Each dish was smothered in sauce or cheese for the ultimate Hong Kong style comfort food. It was everything I wanted. You can't skip a traditional milk tea. The red bean drink was a dessert style finish to our meal. I will 100% return and try their other menu options!

To be honest, it is not perfect in many dimensions: It's not spacious and feels too greedy to have too many tables. It is not a good place if you really want to have an elegant environment to have your meals. The servers are a bit aggressive. But despite of all those disadvantages, I still give it 5 stars because it has the PERFECT food! I almost dropped some tears when I tasted my first bite of the dish I ordered, stored fried beef with tomatoes and eggs. I think what it does best is that it adapt its dishes to use the local produce and meat, and still keep the legit HongKong food flavors. My wife ordered the stir fried instant noodles and it was full of pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce flavor.

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.

We ended up getting the ham macaroni soup with a cheese ham sandwich combo, along with the O Street signature beef sandwich and fries from their new menu. Despite how busy it was on a Saturday, the food came out at a pretty reasonable speed, which I appreciated. The macaroni soup was just okay, very much the kind of simple comfort food that fills you up, but nothing especially memorable. I was most excited for the signature beef sandwich, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The burger/sandwich itself was smaller than I imagined, and it only had about 2-3 pieces of beef brisket inside with marinated bell peppers and their homemade sauce. The sauce leaned sweeter than expected, which might work for some people, but personally I was hoping for something more savoury and more generous with the beef. However, the brisket was tender, which was a win... ish. Overall, still a decent spot if you're craving classic HK cafe vibes and variety, especially for a casual meal with family.
