They assisted in getting a high chair for my baby and helping me find seating while pushing a stroller which helped greatly. The presentation of food was also amazing. I just found both my hot drink and food I ordered lacking in flavor and just average. I ordered the hojicha latte and the Wanoka omurice. Both I could barely taste anything and I know hojicha should be a rich, earthy/toasty/nutty green tea flavor but I couldn't taste any of it, just mostly steamed milk. However my friend really enjoyed her matcha latte so maybe some drinks are better than others or dependent on who makes it. The omurice also was average, the texture/consistency was great but just lacking in flavor. I also ordered a tuna onigiri that also was lacking in flavor and nothing special. However, I did find their desserts to be really great. Found their tofu cream cheese cake and green tea chiffon cake really delicious. Their prices also were a bit overpriced. Perhaps it's best to go to this place for drinks and dessert and skip out on their food.

They seem to share the dining room with another restaurant (some type of fish hot pot place), and it wasn't busy when we arrived. If you're not dining in, you are prompted by a server to order your drinks at the counter. I ordered the daily special Coco tutti cold with 30% sugar and it was perfectly sweet with a hint of coconut milk. The coconut milk was not overpowering, but added a nice exotic twist. At $3.99, this was a steal! They seem to offer many interesting flavored coffee and tea drinks, so I plan to return to give other items a try.

The rose tea flavour was sooo good, I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did but it was the perfect mix of floral, sweet, and tea flavoured. I love how nothing tastes artificial. For around $10, it's a pretty solid place to grab some dessert. The only downside is that they have very limited seating here. We got lucky because a table was just leaving as we arrived, so we managed to snag a small table to sit and chat. But it still gets very crammed in there when there's usually a line that runs along the same area as their seating. This spot is best if you're coming to hang with one person, otherwise it's not very accommodating for groups due to the limitations of their space. Even still, you might not score a seat right away especially if you're coming during peak hours.

By the time you are finished your entrée the options may have dwindled!

We ordered a bunch of things to try like their croffle, flat croissant, matcha tiramisu, mango noodles and a couple of drinks. Let's just say we were SO full afterwards :) The customer service is very good. She was the only worker and did everything!!! The desserts were all really good including their drinks. The matcha tiramisu was my least favourite because I didn't like the taste of it. The cup was made out of chocolate so the entire dessert is edible. There is only one table available but there are a few tables in the food court. The humongous teddy bear outside the shop is so cute great for photos. We really enjoy our visit and would highly recommend it if you're in the area.

I also tried their pistachio Dubai chocolate - also quite good. We tried half a dozen of donuts - flavours including creme brûlée, cookies and cream, taro green tea, birthday shortcake, honey dew, and smores. My favourites included the taro green tea and smores. I like that their donuts are not too sweet and light - making it the perfect treat! We also tried their mochi puffs - flavours including matcha strawberry pocky and Dubai chocolate. These are great for small bites / shareables - I enjoyed the donuts more! The location is gorgeous just like the rest of their locations. It was quite busy and hectic as it was opening day. Would definitely come back! Rate: 4.5/5.

Tips: - The cold milk tea is excellent…read more - HK Garden and Samosa Fusion have this same owners. - This eatery is on Uber Eats. I've been to HK Garden a couple of times. My first visit was a few months ago. After meeting with friends for lunch at Samosa Fusion, I got a cold milk tea next door at HK Garden. It's where I learned that HK Garden and Samosa Fusion have the same owners. Cool! You can get samosas at either place. However, for cold milk tea, you can only get it at HK Garden and it is delicious. The folks make the cold milk tea with a touch of sugar, but it's barely noticeable. The milk tea is perfect. I loved it so much that I went back yesterday to get one for dinner. It was consistent and hit the spot on a hot day. I wanted to get some food from here before I wrote a review. I found this eatery on Uber Eats and decided that a dinner order would be perfect. I got the soft pork rib noodle soup. It was BOGO on Uber Eats. I got an estimated time that my order was ready. It was perfect getting there from downtown Markham. The place had my order ready ahead of schedule, which was nice. This eatery is located at Dynasty Centre, which is a plaza with lots of businesses and eateries. It was quiet at around 5:30 pm on a Monday. I parked fairly close to the restaurant and walked in. There are two doors to walk through before you're in the restaurant. A woman saw me and immediately went to fetch my order. It was almost as if she didn't care to hear my name. She asked me to go into my app to swipe that I received my order. That request was a first for me, but I was happy to do it. I got my food in a plastic bag. I thanked her and left with my food. I placed it safely in my car and drove home. I took the broth and added it to my bowl of noodles. I loved the veggies. I wish that I had more of them. They were perfectly cooked. The soft pork ribs were meaty and flavourful. They were delicious. The downside were the noodles. They were slightly overcooked and a bit mushy. It was a shame, but still edible. My bowl of noodles had green onion. It needed more of it. I have one more bowl to enjoy. We'll see if I feel the same way. I'd return to get some more HK-style items off the menu. The sandwiches look yummy. I'll also get another cold milk tea because it's awesome. (159)

Under new management. New owners. New staff. Indian-Chinese menu…read more As a long ago customer, many years ago I enjoyed HK Garden. They used to be a good Hong Kong style cafe with good quality food, always served hot. Then there was a change of management. Wanting to keep an open mindset, I came back here to give it another go after my last order was not acceptable - my curry beef brisket with rice tasted like an odd amalgam of sauces mixed with cleaning products and dishwashing soap. I was completely perturbed that I was eating cleaning products with my food yet once again wanted to give them another chance. When our food arrived at the table today the toast was ice cold and the hot dog was hard crunchy, overcooked, shrivelled up and burned, I wondered if there was a pattern here. It was not the fault of our waitress but perhaps an oversight of the kitchen staff. Kudos to our great waitress who went above and beyond to correct the situation by addressing it with the cook and she made sure things went right. She was kind, professional, hard-working and an asset to their staff. The verdict? Although service was polite and staff were professional, the food quality assurance was not the same as before, since it's not run by the former staff and owners. End of an era.

The bacon was prepared right in front of me and the smell took over the whole space, exactly how I like it hahah. I would give my meal a 10/10. It's also very clear that the owners take pride in the cleanliness of their cafe. The food was fresh and prepared with care. I will definitely eat back if I'm in the area.
