    Pineapple bun
    Crystal X.

    Finally tried Lido's famous pineapple bun and I almost cried tears of joy! Try the one with butter inside. Their pineapple buns come out freshly baked and the cold butter contrasts so well with the flaky top. The iced lemon tea and satay beef noodles also instantly transported me back to HK. Highly recommend! They only take cash but it's worth the hassle.

    Everytime I come to Richmond, I make a stop at this restaurant. Come early because the parking lot gets full fast!! I suggest backing up into the parking spot, since the spots are tight. Also, there is a usually a wait later on in the day. The restaurant is popular. I usually come here around 8 am when the restaurant first opens. Service is always meh. They spoke to me in Cantonese, but realized I can't speak Cantonese. They do speak English though. The lady asked me how many and I told her that I wanted take out. She proceeded to fulfill restaurant orders before taking my order. Eh whatever, I'm just here for the buns. I come here, just for the pineapple buns. Pineapple buns are constantly coming from the oven. You have to eat the pineapple buns right away. The buttery smell hits your nose as you inhale the warm bun. That first bite of the flakey sugar crust melted in my mouth. Plus, the bun was fluffy and soft. They pack the buns in a brown bag, which is a bit lame. The atmosphere of the restaurants looks like a worn out Hong Kong cafe. The seats seem a bit beat up, but it's cozy. It is a bit small inside the restaurant, especially if you're doing take out. Bring cash! They do not accept card. I definitely recommend coming here early for the delicious pineapple buns. That way, you don't have to fight for a parking spot!

    Only tried a couple kinds of buns - pineapple and hotdog. Pineapple was warm, fluffy and fresh. Hotdog bun was cold, hard and dense.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 6 Decor: 5 Value: 7 Overall: 8 Love this place! One of the must visit restaurants in Vancouver if you're looking for HK style food. It's as old school as old school gets, from food to service, to the decor. I always stop by for a meal whenever I'm in town. They are best known for their deliciously fluffy Pineapple Bun with Butter. I am not a big baked goods fan, but this bread has my vote. Their egg tarts are also pretty solid, flaky and creamy. My usual order hķere has always been the Satay Beef Noodle in Soup, but I might switch it to the excellent Beef Tendon & Brisket Lo Mein going forward. So tender and full of umami. Fried Vermicelli in Singapore Style was fantastic too. Slightly clumpy, but curry flavor was great, with a nice kick of spice. Curry Beef Stew is always very tasty too. Word of advice, get the combo if you can. For $1 more, you receive a choice of many pairings with your entree. The two combos we had this recent visit was the Butter Bun + Ham Omelette and Butter Bun + Luncheon Meat. If there was a weak point, I thought the congee was a bit watery, though flavorful. We had the Free Range Chicken this time and the meat was very tender. Radish cakes were slightly underwhelming as well. And you should skip the Spicy Lo Mein. Regardless, it's always a good meal overall at Lido. I would highly recommend everyone to check it out if you are in Vancouver.

    Sorry Yelpers and locals, but Lido didn't live up to the hype for us. We kept seeing it listed as a must-visit in Vancouver/Richmond, especially for the pineapple buns and egg tarts--but honestly, it was a miss. Even though the pineapple buns were freshly made, we just weren't impressed. Maybe we caught them on an off day? On the plus side, service was friendly and we appreciated that they accepted U.S. dollars since we were running low on Canadian cash. But if you're craving good pastries, I'd suggest heading a bit farther to New Town Bakery in Chinatown instead.

    Yes. Your eyes are correct. They do serve pineapple bun with a stick of unmelted frigid slab of butter. Because that's a thing among Canto/HK Canadians. It's so weird. In the states no one eats butter raw and straight from the fridge. If they do, we call them psychos. But when in Rome... it wasn't that bad. Imagine frigid unspread unotasted butter and it'll taste exactly like that. I prepare I to have my butter melted. At least so that's it's no long frigid. My cuz ordered it so it tried it. We also got other stuff like the mandatory lemon honey tea. It was good. Tastes like HK. We also got other stuff. This place is great. Even when they got the order wrong bc there were two waitress taking orders, it's all good bc both spoke canto!! The fried intestines were good. The butter bao was good. But the mango sago is the winner! They give you a full cup for $3.5!! Best value ever!! All the other places are now scammers or scalpers!! This is the legit place. It's smoookinnggg! Nice vibe. Feels like I'm in SF or HK. Don't expect the place to be clean. It do expect to feel homey and with friends, in the morning afternoon, and at night time. This would be the most checked in place. If I lived in Canada! Vancouver team come here!! This place is way better than 3 stars!! And it's appropriately priced!! Solid A++

    The pineapple bun here is always good, although not as good as it used to be. It's bigger now with less of the crumble topping. Everything is always quick here, but I wouldn't expect any less at a hk style cafe. Everything tasted good and you get a lot of your buck.

    Customer service was good but very quick. They are on a time crunch. Food is good too. We just got hot milk tea to go and some other pastries. Very good traditional hong kong cafe

    egg tart
    Terri C.

    Instagram/reels/shorts has called out this place quite a bit. I am sooo glad to have tried their famous pineapple "bolo" bun with a healthy slab of butter inserted right in the middle. Holy smokes! That piece of butter is not just 1 tbspoon. (Anywhos, just make sure to check your cholesterol yearly!). The pineapple term is just a label and direct literal translation based on its appearance- no elements of that fruit at all. However, it is like melt in your mouth' as mr ishowspeed said in his recent visit to HK after trying same bun. Back to the butter - it was divine. I know HK probably serves it just as top notch - and this also reigns close to supreme. The restaurant has HK style cafe canto dishes- it is superrrr packed. The take out was nonstop too. The walls all had chinese menus of herbal stuff- best to ask for translation if you want further suggestions. Otherwise, the english menu should suffice. The pineapple buns kept coming out in batches, carried by the baker. As the pan of buns passes by the tables, you get a whiff of the aroma and cannot help to take some to go. Is that a tactic they employ to get customers in order satisfy majority of our senses? Well, it worked!! The egg tart came to our table smoking hot. Be careful when biting into the center - totally unexpected it would be that hot. The breakfast also came with a fresh bun too. Atkins dieters- beware!!! This is probably Vancouver's most recommended spot and the customers were pretty diverse. A lot of locals, too. Great mix! Customer service was good. Place is tidy but lacks modern touch- and who cares when the buns are that solid! Expect a wait during peak times. Coming back again and again! A zillionnn starsssss!

    HK-style milk tea

    Eating at this restaurant makes me feel like I've been transported back to Kam Wah Cafe in Hong Kong. Only difference is there's more table space to eat here and the service is friendlier. We came here early in the morning to try their famous pineapple buns with butter and we scored some that came fresh out of the oven! The pineapple crust was perfectly toasted. They use salted butter instead of regular butter so that caught me off guard a bit. We also got their egg tarts and those had a very crispy crust and tasty egg filling. HK-style milk tea was excellent and authentic! After you finish eating you pay at the cashier up front, just like they do in HK. Cash only!

    東西好吃,價格合理,而且服務態度非常的好。我以為港式茶餐廳服務態度都不會太好,但是麗都的服務人員和老闆娘態度都非常友善,對我們小孩也非常親切,讓我們用餐體驗非常好,非常推薦

    Large clay pot (pork ribs/minced pork with salted fish) and garlic pea sprouts.

    When you look at the pictures patrons take, it pineapple bun after pineapple bun. Once we ate one, we knew why. The bun comes out hot and fresh. You can compare eating them fresh. The bread is soft and melts in your month. The top crush is hard and almost crunchy. A must stop place for each visit. We can in at 6:13pm and didn't realize they close at 7pm. While trying to figure out all the menus (nearly all in Chinese), the waitress came to us and nudged us to order. We were about to tell her that we need a few minutes before she saw us looking at the rice clay pot options. She said 6:15pm is the latest to put in the order for the clay pot. She help explain the menu and helped us order. The food was amazing and we don't get as fresh and authentic Chinese food in Seattle. There was ample room in the restaurant and it had a typically Hong Kong cafe feel. We are so glad we found this place. We will definitely be back.

    Iced and hot honey lemon water
    Stephy C.

    Walked into this place and it feels like I went back to HK. The service the way the waitresses talked just feels like home to me. Ordered the satay beef noodles and it was a classic. Their bolo yau is famous so we got it and it did not disappoint....they keep it warm all the time and there's new batch coming out often because people keep ordering them so it's super fresh. The bo chai fan was good but I was getting full already. The chicken was juicy. If you get honey lemon water, get it hot because the cold one is extraaaaaaaaaaa sweet.

Cha Don has only been opened in Henderson Mall for 2 weeks and the line is insane. (Even went back a month later and it's still ridiculous.) Most of the dishes are under $16 but some of the items are not available till after 11:30. That's includes the baked rice dish and spaghetti and the minced pork patty rice series. This will quicken up the long time for those breakfast goers but sucks if you're craving either of those. So the first time I had gone, there were lots of mistakes in orders and the long lines. There was also a sign in front of the cashier stating that they will only take CASH or E-TRANSFER...So be prepared! By the look at more recent reviews, it seems like they're still working out the kinks and the line is still 30-45 minutes. Maybe by this spring they'll figure it out? Just know there are lots of good options if you're not willing to wait.

Long lines at both the Yaohan and Henderson Mall locations speak to how popular it is, and the pricing sits in the affordable range for generous, full-meal plates rather than snack-sized portions. The overall value proposition is strong: you get real-deal HK café flavours without feeling like corners were cut. Dishes come out fast and hot, and the kitchen does not skimp on proteins--whether it's pork chops, chicken, or beef, plates feel properly loaded rather than padded with carbs. Despite the crowds, service is efficient and geared toward turnover, which suits the food court setting and keeps waits manageable once you've actually ordered. It's the kind of place where you grab your tray, sit, and eat rather than linger, but it delivers exactly what you come for. Given the combination of flavour, portion size, and price, Cha Don is an easy recommend for Hong Kong café fans looking for a quick, satisfying meal. The only real downside is the lineup; at peak times the queue can be enough to make you think twice. Still, if the line isn't too long, it's absolutely worth returning for another round.

Not sure if it has been the same chef/cook on Saturdays during breakfast and lunch time but the food hasn't been as tasty when compared to weekdays. Today we went for a family lunch gathering on a Saturday and the restaurant was jam packed. Not sure if this was also a factor but every single dish we ordered was so greasy. We also noticed that the portion wasn't as big as what we usually received on weekdays. The complementary soup that came was lukewarm so that was already one point off. The dishes when served were not presented nicely. For example, there was food hanging off the plate and pot (they eventually fell to floor) or spilled sauce on the table. Even my favorite dish stir fried beef rice noodles was just mediocre today. We ordered 6 dishes and every single dish was salty and greasy. It really felt like they were made in haste. It was overall a disappointment and I don't think I'd want to visit the restaurant on a Saturday again.
