    This is located inside Richlane beside Malibu Cafe in front of the BBQ pork small store. The place has 3 round tables, two with those circular rotating glass and one without. Although I feel like they can add one on the other round table. About 4 other 4-6 seater tables as well. Service is quick, not sure if it's likely because my father in-law is well known here and I come here with him. The food on the other hand came way too long this time around. The soup was fast of course but the first food that came out was 25mins after. Losing a star because of that for sure. Lots of take out was prioritized perhaps. The pork chop had too much fatty parts on it, little meat only. Everything else was fine. Menu is in English and Chinese. The ones on the wall are all in Chinese so make sure to bring someone who can read. Food is your usual HK food, I would come here whenever I need something quick and I'm in the area with my father in-law. Actual rating 3.5/5 - rounding up for all other good times I've been here prior to this review.

    Foods are good taste and alot of selections from the menu , seatings are a bit tight but I usually come here after the rush hours, big dish portions and the service is nice and fast , recommend this restaurant

    Baked rice with chicken steak and tomato sauce

    Was looking for HK diner food without the wait that comes with some of the more popular places so we decided to pop into this place. Always love it when you are pleasantly surprised. This is old school HK diner meaning there are no fancy drinks or bolo bau sandwiches. When you come in you have to look past the interior as the place is older and looks it's age. Portions are generous. The baked rice is $16.50 and comes with a drink. Can easily feed three. There were 4 of us and we got 3 dishes (not including the toast). Tons of leftovers for lunch the next day. I love that the complementary soup came in a large bowl to share and it wasn't your standard borscht or cream soup. Food was good. Service was quick and attentive. We would come again.

    Generous portions of tasty Chinese dishes. Great value, a 3 dish combo meal with soup, rice and dessert is 55$ (tax incl.). Service is quick and friendly.

    1st of all, this restaurant no longer open on Wednesday. This place is really 3.5 star, but I round it down to a 3 because of the inconvenience of having the washroom outside, in the plaza. Ok the dining area definitely not fancy, in fact it has the feel of mom & pop restaurant in Hong Kong. Unless you're local to the area and know the restaurant, you won't come in if you're walking by. Also as mentioned, you need to walk out into the plaza to use the restroom.... 3 star. The food on the other hand is not bad, on par with other similar restaurants serving the standard HK menu. We come here because this place opens later into the night offering rice dishes, and not just the normal full dinner course menus. Also their hot HK milk tea is pretty good, however the cold ones tastes like they just add ice to the hot tea.... IMO stick with the hot milk tea. 3.5 star. Although the price is not low, but the portion is pretty big, Bang for the buck! If you're hungry past normal dinner time, this is the place to go. 4.5 stars for value!

    Milk tea included in the combo

    Another nice place for Hong Kong cafe, good selection of combos for $14 with a drink , only one server but they are fast and attentive. Food quality is fair and with good portion, busy and noisy place though, good for grabbing quickly meal before badminton games.

    We decided to order form here for the first time on recommendation from a friend. Service: No issues, everything packed nicely and ready to go for takeout. Black Pepper chicken and onions on rice. The chicken was moist and flavorful, lots of rice. 3/5. Current brisket on rice. The brisket was okay tender - not that tender but not overly chewy, good chunks of beef though. The curry had colour but lacked flavor which was odd. 2.5/5. Shrimp and egg on flat rice noodles. Noodles cooked well, shrimp and egg in moderate amounts but good. Sauce seemed a bit on the lighter side in terms of quantity and flavor. 3/5. Fried noodles with green onion and bean sprouts. Sometimes keeping it simple is best and they did this really well. Bean sprouts a bit on the less quantity side but everything cooked well and tasty. 4.5/5 Chow mein - this one came with just beef and Chinese broccoli. Noodles were not as crispy but not bad. Decent amount of beef and Chinese broccoli - 3.5/5. Shanghai noodles - pretty good. Noodles cooked well, decent amount of toppings. 3.5/5. Price: Ranges from 11-13$ a dish which is not bad considering the size though I definitely see it's rice/noodle heavy vs toppings.

    Beef chow fun and house soup

    Good HK cafe, very happy this place survived the pandemic. Good selection of breakfast combos and afternoon tea combos

    We changed to this place last minute because we were really looking forward to some deep fried pork intestine. It was cleaned out well and not too fatty, but could have a little bit more crispy. The red sauce that is usually served with this dish was well balanced. We also ordered braised fish with tofu- surprisingly it didn't come in a hot pot as i'm normally used to. It was a little bland but did come with a lot of tofu and fish, and not lifted with veggie at the bottom. The sweet and sour pork was a hit! Very good crisp and balanced between sweet and sour. The pineapple tasted fresh which is sometimes a problem when it's so hot outside. The three dishes came in a combo that was served with soup, rice and dessert for $37.50. The waitress did suggest we only take 2 bowls of rice as we had also ordered a noodle (two people dining). The surprise dish of the night was a tong choy, beef rice noodle ($11.99). It came with a choice of three sauces - we choose malay style (other options were shrimp paste or spicy bean curd). You could really taste the wok flavour! We loved it! I'm used to service by middle aged asian woman being snappy but these ladies were very nice and pleasant. Food came in good portions and was served quickly. Many customers came for take out but many had also made reservations. It definitely has a bit of HK feel as the restaurant is quite small but with quick and efficient service!

    沙薑雞 - free run chicken in ginger/salt sauce. Picture does not do this dish justice.
    Joanne L.

    Home cooked Chinese food - tastes like how grandpa used to make it. It's not the prettiest cafe, it doesn't have amazing plating, and the owners/servers can give you a sense that they're rude and rushing you to finish - But the thing is, once you go often enough, the ladies here are a hoot (also providing that you speak fluent Cantonese)! Okay, so enough about their service/decor, their food (at least for dinner) is amazing!! I highly recommend their 蝦仁炒蛋 (scrambled eggs and shrimp), 沙薑雞 (Free run chicken in a very delicious ginger/salt sauce), steamed fish, casserole lamb, and the list goes on!!! I honestly love it here, and it's my go-to when I want home cooked Chinese food

    This place is under the radar for Chinese Hong Kong style foods like a hidden gem. The place isn't huge, roughly 12 to 15 tables maximum. There are two large circular tables and the rest are rectangular tables which can be pushed together and make a table for six. There are no restrooms in the restaurant but there are restrooms inside the plaza. Due to the size of the restaurant, it is best to bring your own compact high chair. Their largest tables holds eight people. We went on Family day for lunch. It was quite busy, they were at 80% to 100% capacity while we were there. Atmosphere 3/5 Typical Hong Kong style restaurant, you do hear their wait staff calling out orders loudly. But they are friendly unlike other places I have been. They have a large fish tank on the premises, so you can take your toddler to see their fishes. Otherwise not much exciting decor, pretty much standard for this style of restaurant. Service 4/5 We got a table right away. No fuss at all. They were really fast with their food and they brought our stuff promptly like sauces or extra bowl or cutlery when requested. Food 4/5 We ordered four specials that came with a drink. All the dishes tasted great. It also came with a big bowl if daily soup for the table to share. We ordered two rice dishes and two noodle dishes. My picky toddler really enjoyed the Singaporean noodles. Overall the price versus value is great especially for the area. It is $1.50 more than Hai Tang Cafe and Takeout, which is justified by the quality you are getting. I have been here a couple of times and will definitely come back. The only drawback is that their menu does the have a lot of photos or if any. They make the best Hong Kong style coffee & tea in the area. They really know what they are doing.

    Steamed fish is the bomb.com here. Better than cooking it at home. I normally get the three person meal with my dad: Steamed fish Pork and chilli celery Cold chicken Served with soup and dessert soup (red bean, usually).

    Another place where you want food that are cheap and decent! I was there for lunch today. Their phone never stop ringing with people placing order for take out. There are quite good choices of Cantonese food set lunch and dinner that comes with beverage starting from $4.99. The waitress was really helpful told me lunch special that was on the chalk board. I decided on the the 3 balls (fish, beef and cuttlefish) in noodle soup and a coffee. It was sizable and has vegetables too!! Makes a great lunch! The service is prompt and friendly! I would definitely goes back and try other things on the menu! CASH only!

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.

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.

For a decent dinner table like that, it's not cheap but okay . Each dish was cooked very well. Delicious and had wok hai. There will be a dessert after the meal, a bowl of tofu flower for each person. That dessert is a true hidden gem. Silky smooth and moderate sweetness and perfect warmth. I wonder why no one mentioning it before, it is very good. We can come back to this restaurant just for the dessert.

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.
