Wanted cheap eggs benedict and found this place. $10.95 for two bennys with bacon and tomato, plus hasbrowns is not bad. Definitely tastes better than the really cheaper places like Nice Cafe (which has closed down now). They dont cheap out on the bacon and give you full pieces and layers. Also had the sunriser breakfast. Pancakes probably worse than making my own. The portions were really good. There is one friendly waitress and one lazy waitress. They speak cantonese so I know everything they said. I was trying to wave to the lazy one to ask to pay and instead, the chef saw me and told her a customer needs attention. She responded "what customer? I don't see anyone who needs me." When she finally saw me, she told the other waitress "go collect the money." She started speaking loudly about anything she wanted thinking that none of the customers understood - including all the different types of ethnic food she hates, and her bladder functions. A star is taken off for this waitress. I haven't tried the chinese food but this is the old western style non-authentic chinese food that I don't really like so I wouldn't be trying it anyways. Come for the breakfast! read more

Kyle's Café - Sun riser breakfast - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Ther are diners, and then there are Chinese & Western Food diners. This is the latter. Diners are all over the city. This is only in reference to Vancouver proper, and the latter type of diner is slowly becoming a rarity. I can think of only a handful of full blown Chinese Canadian diners within Vancouver proper. Northern Cafe and Grill doesn't really count any more. Their Chinese food is limited from what I recall when when I first went there. Check out who was the FTR. No more chicken chow mein. If that's not on the menu, it no longer counts. Pffffffttttt. Kyle's meets the strict definition. I got a chicken chow mein to go. Mind you it was basically food court chow mein, but I knew what I was getting, so I'm not complaining. Inside is kind of dumpy. I was expecting that. Family run and spoke Cantonese. I was expecting that. Food was exactly what I expected, and it was pretty decent. Friendly owners. The only real difficulty is parking. That's assuming you're like me, hunting down these establishments just for the sake of saying you've been there. I was at Elisa Steakhouse in the evening after this, so you can't call me an elitist! =P Cash only. Metered parking outside, if you can find a spot. Or be prepared to walk a bit or take transit. read more

Kyle's Café - Chow main dry, garlic, spareribs, beef, broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is not a traditional café. I was looking for a breakfast place on the way to the Temple. This was right on the way so I thought I'd give it a shot. But when I got inside, I realize it's actually a Chinese restaurant. I'm ordering anyway. We'll see how god or bad the food is. I'm ordering the chicken and cheese omelette. I asked the server what kind of cheese. She said It was at the yellow kind. I asked if there was options. She said no one kind of shoes. I got coffee and it was not very strong and the cream came and little creamers like you get at a gas station. So I know this is not going to be an amazing, dining experience, but a boys got to eat. I asked for water when I first got here with coffee. She repeated it back to me and I said yes cold water and hot coffee. She didn't bring me water. The omelette wasn't the tastiest but it had a lot of chicken. Which was nice. I got water when I asked again. read more

Do you want to make more money $$$$$$$. Then please include burgers, fries and for delivery by uber eats. If I can order your chinese food delivered on the UBER EATS app then why don't you add Canadian food. Including soup and sandwiches. McDonald's delivers burgers. Quiznos delivers Sandwiches. read more

Better than Bon's Off Broadway. Kyle's is the very definition of greasy spoon. An abundance of cheap, fried breakfast and lunch items fill the menu. Your choice of Chinese and/or Western. We ordered their Sunrise breakfast featuring 2 pancakes, 2 sausages, 2 bacon strips, two eggs, 2 toast and hash-browns for about $7. As you can see in the photos, if the pancakes had been on the griddle for another 10 seconds, they would've been burnt. Everything else, however, came out okay but nothing exceptional. We also ordered their chicken chow mein and sweet and sour shrimp combo. The portion of chow mein was quite large, and very greasy, as to be expected. I did not find an abundance of shredded chicken, however. The shrimp was heavily battered and crispy. The tangy sweet and sour sauce gave it a nice kick. This place was quite busy with several locals/regulars who knew each other by name. Service was excellent. Parking on the side streets nearby was free and abundant, even on a Saturday morning. Not the best place to eat, but you can expect to leave very full for under $10 per person. read more

Have been here several times. Kyle's is the restaurant style that that very popular in Metro Van in the 70's & 80's. Where the menu is half chinese and half western dishes. The chinese food is somewhere about average.. Have had the beef chow mein , Shrimp Fried Rice & Lemon Chicken. Decent tasting but not outstanding. From the western dishes I've had the House Burger. Again nothing outstanding. Beef patty was cooked from frozen. The Chicken Club Sandwich is pretty good. Chicken is in deli slices form. Lettuce, tomato, mayo.Good serving of protein in sandwich. However the standout is the French Fries & their Gravy. Very good tasting potato & delicious gravy. Even better gravy than the chain restaurants. Place could use more decor but still nice ambiance.. Service is Friendly. read more

Excellent food. I have been going there for years. Very nice servers. Owner needs to replace the filthy carpet. It's being held together with duct tape. The owner should be embarrassed. Don't you care. I don't like eating food there because of this old ugly carpet. Business is good. The owner can afford it. Just replace it already. read more

It's a very strange feeling to be eating food that tastes ok while sensing an inherent warning about the quality of the ingredients. Similar to the feeling you get when you are drunk and happy, but know that any more booze will result in disaster, Kyle's Café offers cheap diner style food that is likely all cooked on the same, unwiped grill. But some people have a large tolerance to aging grease, and those fortunate few will find that Kyle's is a decent, very friendly restaurant just south of Commercial Drive Skytrain Station. With a large menu and plenty of "Chinese-Canadian" options, it's a fine venue to take a friend for a slow afternoon breakfast. The seating is nice, with some tables on raised platforms next to the plate glass storefront windows. And the décor is pleasant and quaint, almost a perfect recreation of the Chinese-Canadian theme. Perfect for story telling and undisturbed gossip sessions, Kyle's Café has its own brand of class, it just has nothing to do with the quality of the food. But what can you expect from a $2.95 breakfast? read more

Kyle's Café - Yum! Loved this stuff. - Chinese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I ordered a beef dip and they used a hotdog bun and old meat ,I should have stuck to the chowmein .

Decent taste and big portion, which was an enough reason to give 4 stars to here. Particularly, I loved the fried riced because of its perfectly proper saltyness. Not too much not too blend. read more

Right after signing the lease on our new digs in the Commercial area, my bf and me wandered around looking for a place to eat and ended up at Kyle's. Little did we know it would become one of our usual breakfast AND Chinese food joints! Yep, this is the place to go if one person wants bacon and eggs and the other wants hot n sour soup! The service is always fast and friendly, and i like the mixed crowd that comes in. There aren't any frills or gimmicks here, not even enough to give it any kind of kitsch, but the great service makes up for it! We've ordered delivery from them a few times too and always receive our food quickly with no mess ups! Delivery is a little more expensive than take out, but sometimes it's worth it, especially when the prices are so cheap to begin with! Sure, Chinese food and Western food are different, but Kyle's does both really well. Actually, i think why their food is so good is because they know exactly how much salt and grease to put into a dish. It's more than i'd use if i was cooking at home so i feel like i'm having something deliciously unhealthy, but not enough that i feel gross and guilty after. I'm not sure if they are aware of how powerful that knowledge is! read more

I love, love, love the appie wonton in chili sauce. Always a perfect wonton, and today the chili was flaming hot with tons of peppers and onions and...oh so tasty goodness. Just letting yelpers know that this dish deserves your attention. Cheap, packed with flavour, and perfect for a hot day or a cold day! read more

Delivered wrong order and then had attitude when I called to let them know. Had the nerve to tell me the order wasn't wrong like I don't know what combination I ordered. Food quality has definitely gone down hill lately do yourself a favour and don't order from this greasy place. read more

While I can't say this place was surprise. The food just really didn't do anything for me. I'm a fat man that loves western style Asian food. I realize my little food fetish leaves me in dark nasty little place were the good foodies wouldn't dare venture, but I can still be a little choosy. Kyle's Cafe is not bad. The service was Great the menu had great select, and the price was spot. My issue is that my food was super boring. I am a lover of western style Chinese food. The pinker the sweet and sour sauce the better! I knew what I was getting before we went there but that being said the food was just okay. It lacked and wow. To be honest I will go back, and hopefully I will find that special wow item. read more

Kyles is our go to breakfast place. We even do the reverse commute from downtown to kyles because we love it so much. Here are a few reasons why we love kyles. 1. The servers greet us by name and remember our usual order. 2. Quick coffee refills 3. Cheap prices, especially the $3.50 breakfast special. 4. Not pretentious 5. We have never had to wait for a table. read more

I sampled their $3.95 lunch special today, which consisted of a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and a bowl of beef and barley soup. Unless I begin to feel violently ill later today, at sub-$4, you really can't go wrong for a two course lunch with unlimited glasses of water. Looking forward to future lunch special escapades here and dabbling in the 'Chinese' half of their Chinese and Canadian menu. Also, while I didn't imbibe today, I do appreciate that beer is only $3.75 (presumably for a can, as I don't imagine they'd pour you a pint from a tap out back), which is only a moose coin more than their milkshake. Folks, i suspect I've just found my new cheapie snack and pre-drink drink spot! The place is cash only, so leave your swagger and your Centurion Amex card at home, and enjoy some cheap, easy eats and dangerously well-priced beer. read more

Disgusting. Washrooms are gross, food is clearly from a discount bin, restaurant is old and run down. Avoid this place. It's cheap. read more

Great greasy spoon breakfast-- while everyone else is wandering over to Nanaimo for that 'other place', those in the know hit up Kyle's. The omelettes are awesome! It's exactly what you'd hope for: a family run Chinese/Canadian split menu, like something from another time or another place, somewhere in the Interior that's just been there since the 1970s.... Incidentally, that might be the last time their menu was changed! Great value, you can fill up for your Sunday hangovers-- 20$ for two killer breakfasts and coffee. Their beef tomato chow mein is sweet, sticky and yum. I also highly recommend the patty melt. Nothing on this menu is organic or good for you, and thank god for that. Oh, it's cash only! read more

Just stumbled upon this place this morning when we were on the Drive and getting peckish for brunch. Looks dodgy from the outside, but it's warm and bustling and full of local friendly folks on the inside. Sanitation standards were a tad questionable judging by the state of the washroom and our observation of a few flies buzzing around... but the quality and quantity of the breakfast, and the friendliness of the servers made up for it. Veggie omelet was gigantic and full of fresh veggies. Hash browns were lightly crisped fresh potatoes. Seems to me this would be a fantastic place to nurse a hangover. read more

Nice small little restaurant; perfect place for a quiet meeting place among friends. The server was always quick and polite, and a great place for breakfast for under four dollars. read more

Breakfast is ok, wonton soup is great, so we got brave and ordered full- on Chinese food for takeaway (Satay Beef Vegetable Chowmain crispy & Ginger Chicken & Green Onion) and it was DISGUSTING slimy and smelled like fish even though there was no fish in anything we ordered. We threw it all away, $40 wasted and we couldn't eat it. read more

Had a craving for western style Chinese food, and decided to give this place a go based on reviews. Ordered General Tsos Chicken, BBQ pork fried rice, and two egg rolls to go. $30.00. The chicken was thick with a sickly sweet mystery sauce, which rendered the chicken pieces a complete soggy mess. I honestly couldn't tell if I was eating chicken meat or a big chunk of batter? It all had the same texture. Then I found a long black hair in the container, definitely not mine. The rice was the greasiest rice I have ever eaten. The egg rolls were SO greasy and oily, that by the time I got them home (about a ten minute drive), the wrappers were soggy and LITERALLY dripped with oil when you picked them up. I simply didn't have the time or energy to take them back to the establishment. Maybe I just caught the kitchen on a bad day, but I certainly won't be returning. read more

What I like about these Chinese-Western restaurants is the great prices, large portions, and tasty meals! Funny thing is that I never end up ordering the Asian food side of things, but however the more western... So my review for Kyle's Cafe is the burger I had! It was good sized, cheap, and tasty! Something about those fries made by Chinese restaurants are always so crispy! mmmmmmm I love crispy fries!! Great service, cheap eats, will come again! Oh yeah, they go cheap breakfast and it's cleaner in here than Bon's! read more

My husband and I love Kyle's! You get 2 huge meals for about $20. Which we always have leftovers. They will deliver if you don't want to leave your couch and they have a great vegetarian selection to choose from. The veggies are always so fresh. read more

Best place on earth. They take substitutions easily and have the best service. I'm impressing my friends who are new to this greatness right now. read more

Went to the restaurant for breakfast with a friend. Bill was approx $20 with 2 coffees, I ordered the sunriser breakfast (2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, toast, 2 pancakes, fried potatoes) and he ordered the chicken and cheese omelette. The sunriser breakfast- no complaints, portion size was big, tastes great, good value. Everything was cooked to perfection, even I was surprised that the pancakes were so tasty (I seem to never have good pancakes at restaurants). My friend said he has had better omelettes in Windsor ON and gives his experience 2/5. I give my experience 4/5. The food came quickly however our coffees were not topped up the entire time we ate our food. We also couldn't find Kyle ??? :s read more

The food here was absolutely amazing.Large patties for the burgers and the fries made with very fresh clean oil. The atmosphere was clean and open to an array of people. Not a cookie cutter restaurant. For all the people growing up with that greasy spoon diner they loved and miss come check it out. Definitely going to be back soon. Good cheap eats. read more

People at Kyle's are lovely and the portions are generous. I appreciate the fact that everything isn't spicy/hot - when they say a dish isn't spicy, it isn't. I'm sorry to say though that they put way too much batter on their prawns and onion rings. read more

You don't go to Kyles for the decor, but the service and food make up for the late 80's fake plants. Great prices, good breakfast, lunch and dinner! Sold! We go back again and again. read more

Good old grease spoon type of cafe. Price is right. Good atmosphere good company. Recommend cheap fast Chinese food

My husband and I ordered the breakfast special and the house special omelet at the same time. I got my omelet almost immediately since it wasn't busy when we arrived, but my husband's special never came. As I was slowly eating my omelet, we asked about my husband's breakfast three times over the next hour. We were told three times that it was coming. The server looked annoyed whenever we asked. I'm a very slow eater. I finished my omelet. Several tables who came in after us were served their breakfast while my husband's special still did not arrive. I told our server we would not wait any further for his breakfast as she cleared my empty plate. As I paid for my omelet, and as we went to go to another breakfast spot, they told us that his breakfast special was almost ready, almost plated. Would we stay? Since my husband was starving, he stayed til they finally brought his special an hour after we ordered it. Final bill was $17.25. Never going back. read more
