Definitely hits the spot when youre craving childhood favourites. The HK milk tea is yum. Service doesn't feel very welcoming but is very quick for both locations I've been to. Both locations are also pretty tight. Limited seating. No resos but line ups if you have time to wait.

Food came pretty quickly and tasted good too. The satay was nice and strong. They even offered the sesame oil packs if you wanted to add on top. Nice touch. For combo you can order any tea/coffee and it can be iced (no charge) Overall worth a try!

Went there twice with totally different experience…read more First time was so good and you can tell the bun was nicely prepared. It's almost like a big burger. So thick, fresh ingredients, and stuffed with awesomeness in between the breads. Milk tea was silky smooth and hot too. A truly 10/10 execution in an authentic HK café (CCT) style. Second time went there was run buy a few teens or perhaps uni students. Missed orders with eternal waiting after talking with them. Ended up with a cold French toast as the dish was used as a "café intern tutorial teaching material" behind the counter with lots of talking over it. No point to mess up my Saturday morning mood with innocent young people. I was young once and always tried to figure different things out with my hands, but not giving instructions literally on top of customers food though. (Sigh in a long deep breath...) Would I visit there again? Well, maybe... check first to see who's the chef of the day before sitting down. LOL.

Newly opened, this brand new authentic Hong Kong style Cha Chaan Teng in Markham is the real deal…read more CCT Markham (正豆茶餐廳) Cha Chaan Teng serves Street Snacks, Noodles, Rice, Kids Meals, Home-Style Combo Meals, Hot and Cold drinks. Breakfast Menu is available from 8am-11am. Afternoon High Tea Menu is available from 2:30pm-5:30pm. HK Style Cha Chaan Teng Kids Menu orders come with free toy. Great place to go for families with children. We tried their Sham-Shui-Po Snack Platter* which was excellent. Loved the bean curd shrimp rolls and the fish balls. This was my favourite platter. Next we tried the Baked Tomato Cheese Pork Cutlet on Spaghetti. They were generous with the pork slices portion and there were quite a few cubed tomato pieces too. The Thick Luncheon Meat & Egg Instant Noodles were good with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. This was a popular order! We selected from the Afternoon Tea Menu - a freshly baked, crispy crust-topped Pineapple Bun with cold Butter which came with good quality tea used for their hot Hong Kong Milk Tea. Delicious tasting tea! We met the owner Maggie who was very personable and the staff were also nice and helpful. So many menu options to choose from. Very authentic. Good quality and great taste. Decent portions. Reasonable prices. Good value.

We waited about 30…read moreminutes, but I actually liked that they have a digital waitlist where you can enter your information and keep track of your spot instead of standing around waiting for your number to be called. Once we were seated, the food came out in under 5 minutes for everyone, which was honestly impressive considering how busy they were. Prices are about average for an HK café and the food was decent. We all ordered the satay beef instant noodles (沙嗲牛肉公仔麵), so I can't really comment on the rest of the menu yet. The highlight for me was definitely the drinks. Both the Hong Kong-style milk tea (奶茶) and yuenyeung (鴛鴦) had a nice bold, authentic flavour that's getting harder to find these days. Overall, a solid spot for Hong Kong-style comfort food, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Chrisly is a solid Hong Kong style café located in the Kennedy & Bur Oak area and a great spot if…read moreyou're craving classic cha chaan teng comfort food. They're especially well known for their Hong Kong style milk tea, which truly lives up to the reputation. As shown in my photos, the dishes are well presented and look just as satisfying as they taste. The service is friendly and efficient, making the overall dining experience relaxed and enjoyable. Some standout menu items include the black pepper chicken steak, the scallion pork chop rice, and the satay beef instant noodles, all of which deliver familiar Hong Kong flavors done right. The milk tea deserves a special mention. Rich, aromatic tea paired with silky smooth milk, well balanced, and you can ask for the sweet level you like. With quick service, reasonable prices, and consistently good food, Chrisly is an easy recommendation for anyone in the area looking for authentic HK café vibes.

If you're tired of Americanized Chinese food that tastes like sugar and cornstarch, this is the…read moreplace to go. This is the real deal. The menu is massive and packed with authentic dishes you don't usually see on typical takeout menus. We ordered the mapo tofu and the twice-cooked pork, and both were packed with that signature numbing Sichuan peppercorn kick. The portions are incredibly generous - we had leftovers for two more meals. The dumplings were hand-made and perfectly pleated. The service is no-frills and efficient - don't expect white tablecloths, but do expect incredible food. Already planning our next visit to work through more of the menu.

Mom and I visited over the weekend and this place was packed. They have a huge menu, just like a…read moretypical cha chaan teng, so it honestly took us forever to decide what to order. 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.

I'm not a bad carb person so I can barely make a dent in their rice/noodle dishes for lunch. So I was happy to see non-rice/noodles based dishes that is served all day and not just tea time. I ordered the yuzu chicken steak with potato salad. It comes with a drink and soup. The chicken steak was deep fried, with liminal batter and the met remains juicy. The yuzu sauce was spread on top. First time seeing chicken + yuzu at a cha cheng teng. What took me by surprised was the potato salad. It was definitely made in house, with chunks of apples, carrots, red onion, ham and eggs. Love how it was also not dose in miracle whip. I chose the Chinese soup (instead of western style) and it was flavorful. I would said better than most Chinese restaurants who gives for complimentary soup for dinner. There was minimal MSG, as I didn't feel thirsty afterwards. The HK milk tea was the weaker component of this set, the tea base was lacking in flavour and didnt have the "thick" texture to it.

Excited for another Pine House location!…read more The menu is approximately $1 more than the other locations, and the portions are slightly smaller as well. The taste of the food is pretty much spot on to the other locations, and very classic cha chaan teng foods. Service here is really good actually! They are super attentive and are sure to repeat your order so they have it right. They come to refill your water quickly and often as well. The place isn't very busy most of the time, so it's usually pretty easy to get a seat.

We just thought that the beef in our stir-fried beef noodles could've used some seasoning. Was kind of bland. A bit of 'wok hei' in the flavouring. I wouldn't mind going back again.

It was a let down of all aspects unfortunately - from service, to food quality, and it's worth. Upon arriving and dining here, I was surprised to see the place pretty empty. All the other times I've been here it was pretty packed. The severs were unfortunately not very friendly at all, from taking our orders, to bringing our food, down to paying for the bill. Not a smile was once seen from any of the serve staff. The food was okay with portions being smaller than what I remember it to be and prices higher than what a usual HK cafe should be as well. Our chicken instant noodle with green onion and ginger was drowning in A LOT of oil - although tasty, it was not pleasant to eat since it was so greasy. Overall, our party of 8 found the entire meal to be super expensive for the food quality and options. It was quite a hefty bill tbh. Fortunately, after I visited I did see that they posted online that they are under new management and have changes to their business. So hope they rejig their food, pricing and service.
