Stopped by Cha Ton in Richmond and really enjoyed the food here. Just a heads-up for first-timers…read more-- it's located on the second floor of a strip mall, so it can be a little easy to miss. The seating situation can also be a bit challenging, especially during busy hours, since the dining area is shared with several other eateries. You might have to walk around for a bit or wait for someone to leave before grabbing a table. But honestly, the food made up for it. The satay beef and fluffy egg sandwich was the highlight for me. The beef had plenty of flavor, the satay sauce was tasty, and that soft, fluffy egg went really well with everything. The bread was soft too, and the whole sandwich just worked. Definitely had that legit Hong Kong-style comfort food taste I was hoping for. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal here. Seating might take a little patience, but once you get your food, it's worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially for that satay beef and egg sandwich!

Firstly, the attitude and service is absolutely awful (compared to the T Mills location). I'm not sure whether it's because they're located in an Asian mall which gives them this entitlement? Regardless, the cashier was quite rude, which included throwing my change back at me. Some coins even fell to the ground and i had to pick them up. Secondly, they do not allow modification of their ice level even though other similar stores allow it. Also, their iced drinks are smaller in size. The toppings on the noodle was extremely salty. Did the cook shed big crocodile tears? Lol. Anyway, I took the toppings out and gave them a rinse with hot water.

Further to my lunch experience a couple of months ago which wasn't too good, i decided to give…read moretheir breakfast another chance. I used to come here often with friends and families for breakfast and wanted to see whether it still tasted just as good. We each got two items from the breakfast combo, A through D. A to Cs are our usual options and upgrade to French toast. The eggs were somewhat on the drier side and i personally prefer fluffy ones. The beef noodles and the congee continue to be my favorites. The beef noodle broth is flavorful and the congee definitely comforted my soul. The items listed in D are always a miss. We have tried all items and none of them was delicious. For example, the steamed rice rolls were very doughy. Other times, they were very dry. The items in D sometimes felt like they're frozen dim sum items sold at grocery stores. Service is a hit or miss depending on which server you get. Sometimes you get servers who come and refill tea and provides actual service. Other times, no one comes by at all even when there is no tea in cups, etc.

Found abt the lobster special and had to go…read more Honest to goodness Chinese food, i tell you! Got a few things to go with the lobster special and it did not fail me. The dessert at the end was a surprise. Expecting red bean soup but got a Chinese jello instead. Prawns were amazing too. Salted egg flavour and sweet and sour pork had wok hei! Service could be a bit slower but it's a Chinese restaurant. So i get it. Everything was gooood! Portions were generous and the taste on point. The washrooms could use a bit of cleaning as well as the flooring...so had to take away a star. Would go back for sure! Overall tho, good comfort Chinese food at reasonable prices. Cheers! Happy eating!

This place is a classic HK cafe for a reason. Serving up freshly baked pineapple buns and egg…read moretarts, as well as plenty of HK cafe favourites, if you only go to one Chinese restaurant during your visit to Vancouver, this place should be on your list. They are known for pineapple buns with butter and a strong HK milk tea (the way it should be!). Their fried dishes are full of wok-hei flavour, but we did find them to be on the oilier side. Main downsides? Parking in the plaza is awful. During busy times, the line goes out the door. Service is no-nonsense - 45min seating limit, so make your food decision swiftly and don't dilly dawdle.

It's a circus and pushy locals that speak the language will cut in line(to be fair that happens at…read moreother places) it doesn't make it any more pleasant. You also need to be assertive without being rude otherwise you wait to be served on. But we're here because of the reputation of the food not the vibe And? Wait for it. Yes it's good, very satisfying, flavorful, filled with quality. The pineapple bun with butter needs to shared. The humongous butter slice in the middle will kill an individual but it is worth losing some of your life. We also had the egg tart(not the Portuguese kind), Hainanese Chicken rice , pan fried beef noodle all superior to competition. Why 4 stars? 2 reasons 1. Comfort food is well comfort food even if executed well. 2. The vibe - it's in my opening paragraph. It takes away from the experience.

I…read morecame by for lunch. between my dining partner and I, we ordered: scallion oil pork chop with dry noodles - basically a portion of dry instant noodles with 2 generous pork chops on top with scallion oil. Solid, and a ton of meat. Meat slightly too dry but still good. Noodles were nice texture. Soup noodle with chicken and pork chop - it was a build-your-own meal and we choose pork chop and chicken. Comes with a bowl of soup instant noodles. The pork chop was same as the one above. The chicken was a whole chicken thigh. Chicken was good. flavourful and well cooked. Soup noodles were fine but got soggy as they always do over time. Side of scrambled eggs with toast - eggs were good. Nice soft cook on it. Came with the noodle bowl as a combo. 2 drinks. All that for $31 all-in and we couldnt finish it between 2 people. Food is a solid 4/5. Service is as you'd expect for a food court stall. People were friendly enough but theyre super busy so they move you along. This is in the President Plaza food court so its definitely dated but totally fine for a simple budget meal. Value of this place is easy 5/5. Would recommend if you're in the area and want some affordable HK cafe food.

I came here for weekend dinner and there was no wait. Not super busy. I heard about their roast…read moregoose special so I wanted to try it. Our party of 4 were seated right away and we got menus. This place is basically a HK style cafe + a HK bbq meat shop + a traditional canto restaurant + serving a few malaysian dishes. Its a little wild. Their menu is ridiculously large. Service was actually good for this kind of place. Prompt, efficient, friendly. This is not a place to hang out for a long time. Its really geared for a quick bite and you leave. Chairs arent super comfortable, space is somewhat cramped. Decor is weird and everything is really red. We ordered the combo with a half roast goose. It comes with the half roast goose (we did not need to preorder), a bowl of daily soup for everyone, and 3 traditional chinese dishes you pick from a list. The food: Roast goose - actually pretty good. Skin was thin and crisp, meat was lean but not dry. Comes with house made plum sauce and a bowl of duck sauce. solid 4/5. Cold chicken with black truffle - also pretty good. Ive had this dish at high end chinese places and this place does it almost as good for a fraction of the price. 4/5. Satay beef vermicelli hot pot - fine. Pretty typical, not much to say about it. Beef slices were tender, sauce was decent. On the salty side but not bad. 3/5. Broccoli with scallops - broccoli was well cooked and sauce was fine. The scallops I did not like. They used processed scallops. Clearly little pucks made up of many small scallops and scallop meat processed into the shape of a large scallop. Also tasted off and does not have the texture of an actual large scallop. Also fishy, not sweet. I dont fault them for using a cheap product. This isnt a fine dining place and their food is very reasonably priced. But just use smaller cheaper scallops. Dont use processed stuff. Doesnt taste as good and looks bad. 2/5. Soup of the day - you get a choice of "Russian Borscht" which is the typical HK cafe hot tomato veg soup - not actual russian borscht at all. Or a clear chinese soup broth. I tried a bit of both, they were fine. 3/5. Nothing to write home about but not bad. We also ordered an extra item, their rice steamed in bamboo with your choice of toppings. We chose the minced pork version. When it came out, it was just rice in a regular bamboo steamer with pork on top. Not as pictured with the actual bamboo tube. We asked the server lady and she said they used to use the actual bamboo tube but then people complained the portion was too small, so they switched to a bamboo steamer. The dish was just ok. Excessive rice, not much meat. A few sprigs of choy sum, thats it. Bland. Rice was well cooked though. 3/5. Interestingly they served orange peel tea, no caffeine. They use this flavouring in their roast goose too. Actually tasted pretty good, no charge, and I appreciated no caffeine at night. Free parking in the lot right out front. Overall, food is pretty good, nothing spectacular, but nothing disastrous. Service was good. Easy parking. Immense selection. They even had some Laksa and other malaysian dishes in addition to "western" style chinese food and traditional canto food. pricing was reasonable. I would come back for a quick meal if im in the area. Great option for a casual simple meal or if you're in the mood for HK cafe food.

They do sell out of some of their Cantonese roast meats, so you need to go early for those. They started us of with nice bowls of Russian tomato cabbage soup. The giant plates of char siu, roast duck, and soy sauce chicken are really good. The flavors and textures of the roasted meats are nicely executed. Our group has no troubles devouring these plates. We also order a plate of beef brisket curry rice. The curry is delicious and satisfying. The beef is soft, tender, and has absorbed all the wonderful curry flavor.

An entree comes with soup of the day and we got cream of mushroom soup. Drinks we got lemon iced tea and were made perfectly and refreshing. We got the sizzling plate chicken steak with black pepper sauce and pasta. Had two pieces of chicken with a crispy skin on top of grilled onions and vegetables. Black pepper sauce was more on the garlic sauce side but went well with chicken. The baked pork chop and prawns came half and half with red sauce and a white creamy cause for the prawns. The sauces were flavorful and had aromatics from actual slices of tomatoes and onions. Would prefer more of a broiled cheese on top.

Price includes drink and soup, no upcharge for iced drinks (they may have won me over with this, most spots usually add a charge) 9a baked cream sauce spinach & basa fillet on rice rice - my goodness I LOVE THIS DISH. Everything I was craving. Good amount of sauce, cheese, and fish. Met all my expectations with 50% more in size. 40a shrimps and swirl egg with flat rice noodle - good wok work, the noodles have a nice colour and char from being tossed before sauce was layered on top. I am a hater of peas and was pleasantly surprised it didn't come with it. Perfect texture and flavour, one note that shrimps have a slightly alkaline taste from the marination process. Borscht soup is tomatoey and acidic (not my pref, but well-loved by my boyfriend). Cream soup is rich and not too heavy. HK milk tea and mix with coffee are tasty. Friends ordered singaporean style vermicelli and a curry beef brisket, both looked good. $60 for 2 dishes, 2 drinks, 2 soups is real value.

We saw that there were groups of people waiting for a table, but since there was only 2 of us, they sat us down right away. The space is pretty nice for a HK cafe.

Very acceptable. - #148 Shanghai Pan Fried Noodle: Good. Also a good portion size and well prepared. No complaints. We only ate half the food, and took the rest home for dinner. Service was fine for a HK cafe. Pleasant and attentive enough, but constantly in a rush. Very efficient. Overall, I was happy with my meal. It was fast, affordable and filled me up. The room and service was a bit nicer than most HK cafes, and the food was quite good. I would rate 3.5, but a slight edge up because it was remarkably better than the last HK cafe I went to. I would come back.

The pork soup dumplings were excellent. The wrappers were thin and delicate yet held together perfectly, and each dumpling was packed with a generous amount of rich, flavorful broth. Easily one of the highlights of the meal.

I came here after work on a Saturday, after 3pm. I didn't know what to expect. Reading the reviews…read morebefore hand I kinda of was expecting a wait; but there was no such thing as I got seated pretty promptly. They have rice and noodle options as well as a dim sum section on the menu. I ordered 3 items, A12 the beef noodle soup with beef, tripe, tendon, and thick noodles. The popcorn chicken and the beef pancake. I like the option that you get to choose the type of noodle. The noodles were nice and al dente and had a good ratio of all the type of meats in the soup. What I didn't really like about the dish was that the beef flavour was on the lighter side (had more of a vinegary taste) was quite subtle and if you like more veggies; your only getting one piece of bok choy. The popcorn chicken was good; juicy, nicely seasoned, and crispy. What I didn't like was the beef pancake. I should have listened to the reviews, but as usual; I had to form my own opinions. The beef pancake was full of sliced cucumbers, and barely had any meat; just a single slice of beef. I was shocked that the ratios were so off on this beef pancake. It was like 20% pancake, 75 % cucumbers and 5% meat. Definitely would not order this item again. Service was attentive, they had 3 waiters waiting around; and came pretty often (about every 5 minutes) to fill up your water. Overall, a decent experience. I'd come back again, but definitely would avoid the beef pancake. An upside is that they also take credit card, without an added fee Parking was very easy to find. You can either park on the street for 2 hours or there is a parking lot in the back. You'd have to register your plate if you want to park in the back, but my server was pretty adamant about getting that info when I first sat down.
