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.

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.

VERDICT/VALUE A small HK-style joint will serve you reasonable portions at a decent price - their combos are worth considering when look for good eats or takeout! === 2. FOOD Ham and Egg Bun Thick burger essentially provided with plenty of eggs scrambled with ham - worth the wait! Eggs with Two Meats I happened to choose two sunny side up eggs with two pieces of spam; it comes one piece of hash brown, fried beans, and a piece of toast with a little butter. Soup and Noodles The quantity noodles is pretty sizeable for $3.75 price; the soup reasonable too. The pork and preserved vegetable and fish ball soups worked well for breakfast. Drinks #1.25 for warm drinks and $1.75 for cold drinks - good deal and customizable! === 3. SERVICE It was good overall; it can seem slow because they place is always packed with guests waiting for tables, but the service is good in Cantonese or English. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's not really large, but your groups of 2, 4, and maybe 6 can be seated. It's reasonably clean and can fit a stroller or wheelchair. Parking is limited to whatever you are lucky enough to find on the street!

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.

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!

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.

BT Cafe 大拇指餐廳 Review Location: 920 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC…read more位置： 溫哥華京士威道 920 號 (English version) BT Cafe is a delightful neighbourhood gem located on Kingsway. The standout for me was definitely their Sweet and Sour Pork--the sauce is impeccably balanced, perfectly capturing that nostalgic, classic flavor that's hard to find these days. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, creating a welcoming environment from the moment you walk in. While the ambiance is cozy and warm, I did notice that the high backs of the booths can be a bit wobbly/unstable, which is something to keep in mind if you're looking for extra back support. Overall, a great spot for a comforting meal! 繁體中文] 位於溫哥華京士威道 (Kingsway) 的大拇指餐廳 (BT Cafe) 是間非常討喜的鄰里餐館。他們家的咕嚕肉絕對是必點，那種咕嚕汁調配得非常地道，酸甜平衡得剛剛好，充滿了讓人懷念的經典風味。店員服務態度親切，讓人感到賓至如歸。餐廳整體的氛圍溫馨舒適，不過值得留意的是，部分卡座的椅背稍微有些晃動，若對座椅穩定度有要求的話可能要注意一下。總體而言，這是一個享受暖心餐點的好地方！

Friends recommended this Hong Kong-style café on Kingsway, saying it offers better value in terms…read moreof portion size and pricing compared with many other cha chaan teng-style restaurants in Vancouver. We decided to give it a try one weekday afternoon. The seating is quite tight. For a party of two, we were seated along the wall with a small table and chairs facing each other, while the other side has a few cubicles more suitable for groups of four. The menu is extensive--perhaps even overwhelming--with many choices, so I would suggest looking at their menu online beforehand. We ordered from the afternoon tea menu: baked pork chop on rice and beef on rice noodles. Hong Kong-style coffee or tea was included, and each dish was around $16. The portions were generous, and both dishes were tasty. From a food and value perspective, we were satisfied. Unfortunately, our final experience at the cashier left us disappointed. The bill came to $32 before tax ($33.81 after tax). I paid $35 cash and told the cashier to keep the change. Instead of simply accepting it, she told me that the restaurant expected a minimum 10% gratuity. I found this uncomfortable and unprofessional. I understand tipping is customary in Vancouver, and I normally tip according to the service provided, but customers should not feel pressured or told that a minimum tip is required unless it is clearly posted as a restaurant policy. The service itself was perfectly adequate, but nothing beyond the usual ordering and serving of food. There was no extra attention or special effort that would justify being approached about a minimum gratuity after payment. Also, since the restaurant accepts cash only, it would be helpful to have a clear "Cash Only" notice displayed at the entrance so customers are aware before dining. To be clear, this review is not about the food quality or pricing. The food was good, and the value was actually one of the restaurant's strengths. My disappointment comes entirely from the way the gratuity issue was handled at the cashier. A good dining experience should include not only good food, but also a professional and respectful final interaction with customers.

The satay in the satay beef sauce was on the sweeter and nuttier side, and was delicious. The curry sauce of the fish balls was homemade and tasted spicy and sweet.

Considering the price and the location, I'd prefer going to places in Richmond for equally good quality food. Service was alright.

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.

They have amazing fist sized mandu, but what my favourite items are, is their handmade and hand cut noodles. You can really see that each strand is individually sized and very chewy, the way that I like my noods. The soup is also very good, although I have heard from others that they are not flavourful enough, but I like it that way, so I can adjust it on my own, as they have spices for you to add in. Due to how busy they are, at times I can feel service is rushed, so definitely not a place where you could linger and catch up after you're done your food.
