    Haven't come here for long time and it's still a very good Hong Kong cafe in Vancouver. They have many more choices we want to try! Milk tea is good and satay beef instant noodle is also good. We love the pineapple bun here! Staffs are very friendly and seating is comfy and not too crowded.

    My family always wanted to come but we only made it once during breakfast. So this past weekend, we got there bright and early. We got seated right away. We got a variety of items: congee with beef, turnip cake, ham omelette, macaroni with satay beef, bolo bun and Ovaltine. To my surprise, almost everything was below expectation. The congee was overly salted. I first thought it's just me, then I heard customers at 2 other tables said the same so I guess it's not just my taste bud that had issues. The turnip cake barely had any toppings. It's plain and can't taste turnip to it. It's also not pan fried that well so it's mostly soft. The macaroni is alright. The broth is as expected. Some of the beef is kind of chewy though. The egg omelette is good. I also got an egg tart to go since that's what they're know for. The egg part is really good, soft and fluffy. The crust is a bit dry and thin. I've had better elsewhere tbh. Overall, my experience here is just alright. I appreciate the HK Cafe environment but the food was subpar

    Pineapple bun

    One of my favourite pineapple buns. But pricer than other places. But ours were still warm when we got them. It is a cash only place. Has a busy small parking lot outside.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Egg Tarts

    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.

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

    QQ?

    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++

    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
    Kevin E.

    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!

    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.

We decided to order take out and enjoy it at home to avoid the crowds of people. Service was quick and the large menu with pictures displayed outside the stall was helpful.

My boyfriend ordered satay beef vermicelli and it was flavourful and satisfying. The scrambled egg toast is a must if you love soft runny eggs between bread. It's simple stuff that can be done at home if you're really craving it, but the convenience definitely hits...That, and a couple cups of yuenyeung to save the day.

    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.

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!
