    Matsuya Korean House - Egg Sandwich
    Mike H.

    Imagine, this spot is actually an HK cafe despite the Japanese name and Korean house title! I'd been meaning to visit since hearing about it a few years back and finally had the chance to today. There was a bit of wait at the weekend lunch rush. The menu is slightly more expensive for standard HK cafe fare. We had the Satay Beef & Vermicelli in Soup that was savory with Egg Sandwich that was a bit bland. We also had a larger bowl of Preserved Vegetable & Pork w/ Vermicelli Soup & Egg. The lunch specials came with milk tea that was well-steeped. Our hunger was satisfied after a day at the park nearby. The interior showed some of its age. They seem to be one of the go-to HK cafe in the neighborhood judging by the packed crowd. They have to work on the name though to make it more obvious!

    This one has an identity crisis. A Cantonese restaurant with a distinctly Japanese sounding name and "Korean House" in the title. Regardless, of its name, this is definitely a HK Cafe with the usual staples. I've mostly come here for breakfast. They have amazing prices for a generous amount of food. For around $10 you can get a bowl of noodles that also comes with a side of eggs, protein, and buttered bread. That's a steal. When I ordered the Sausage & Egg noodles on their own, it came with 3 whole hot dogs. I think the "Korean House" part of the name is referring to a couple of fusion items they have for dinner. I personally haven't tried these dishes but they look good on the menu. Service is quick and efficient, though pretty hands-off like most HK Cafes.

    Been here a few times in the past as there aren't many Chinese cafe or restaurants around this area. I came here with a friend on a weekday for lunch. There was plenty of parking available as it's located in a pretty big plaza. The restaurant was a bit busy, I guess it was because it was around lunch time. We ordered the lunch special. I got the baked Portuguese chicken with rice and my friend ordered stir fried beef noodles. The prices are about the same compared to other chinese restaurants in the area $13/$14 however the portion was huge and it also comes with a hot drink. Overall, I like this cafe and will be returning again.

    Unlike its name, nothing related to Korean food at all. It's a typical HK style cafe located in Markham East. Food was okay. Aside from good servers, not too impressive as it is just very ordinary. Pricing is average, and speed is not particularly quick neither. In other words, the positioning is not clear with no specialty whatsoever. Honestly, I would say there are lots of other choices with more tasty selections in Markham.

    Definitely interesting to see korean fusion HK style cafe. We came for breakfast and the restaurant was surprisingly full, but I guess there's not much selection in this area.  Food wise, I'm not sure I personally like this combination. I ordered the Satay Beef noodles, and although this is usually one of my favourites, it didn't seem to work well with the korean style instant noodles. I also found it very expensive, almost $10 for a couple pieces of beef (maybe 5 pcs all together?) and a pack of instant noodles. The pork chop was better and felt much more satisfying for basically the same price but is still just average.  As a redeeming factor, their milk tea was good.  I've heard some good things about this place, so I'd love to go back and try dinner or lunch instead as those meals usually require more cooking and are less instant.

    Pretty decent HK Cafe. Came here after a long day at Markham Stouffville Hospital. Pretty tasty house soup, Portuguese Baked Chicken meal & HK tea! My mom had the fish skin wonton soup and said it was good!

    It really pains me to give this updated review. We've been fans for a long time, but the last "three" visits (yes, we still gave them the benefit of the doubt), were below average at best. The Pork Chop with Onion Gravy and Egg on Rice is our favorite dish, but the pork chop was red and not cooked thoroughly. No apology, they just re-fried it. The egg, which is always too raw with runny watery whites, overcooked yolk, or burnt, is a huge disappointment. Unfortunately, it's time to try some other HK cafes, but I do hope they improve for other customers.

    P. Korean instant noodles (luncheon meat, sausage, ham, egg and fish cake)

    We arrived just before 11 am. There's breakfast until 11 am and then it switches over to the lunch menu. When asked the waitress provided both the breakfast and lunch menus for us to look through. We ordered the Korean Instant Noodles (with luncheon meat, sausage, ham, egg and fish cake but we got a cubed shaped piece of tofu) and Grilled Chicken Steak & Eggs with Teriyaki Sauce and Sweet Bun from the breakfast menu. The complimentary drinks were the first to arrive and then the sweet bun that comes with the grilled chicken steak. These two dishes didn't take long to arrive. Everyone at the table had received their dishes and were well into eating them but the braised beef brisket with noodles was taking quite some time. We had to follow up to make sure that it wasn't missed. We asked for mild spice for the instant noodles but they must've just left the spice out all together. I was pretty surprised at all the ingredients that came with the noodles. Most places only provide a couple of ingredients along with the noodles. The teriyaki sauce that came with the grilled chicken steak was very tasty. The dish also had some mixed veggies on the side. We managed to finish both breakfast dishes but those that ordered off the lunch menu had to get takeout boxes to pack up the rest of their meal since there was just so much. All in all it was a good meal with decent portion sizes and reasonable prices.

    Spaghetti and meat sauce/Pork Chop tomato sauce ($13)
    Karen K.

    One of my go-to Hong Kong cafes. I came for a late lunch on a Saturday. Their lunch menu goes until 3pm and has an extensive menu of rice and spaghetti dishes. I ordered the Spaghetti and Meat Sauce and Pork Chop and Tomato Sauce on Rice ($13). They fused 2 dishes together so you can get the best of both worlds. The lunch dishes are pretty big too, so it's definitely worth the price. All lunch meals come with a soup and a drink. My go-to drink is the Cold Lemon Tea ($+1 extra charge). Service is always great. The staff are super friendly and fast too. I would highly recommend this cafe for quality food and good prices!

    On October 13th, I went to this restaurant for lunch. I was first in line for a table for three. The staff asked if we would sit at the bar, but I said no, so we waited. After around 15 minutes, I noticed a four-person table about to settle the bill, and I figured it would be our turn next. Since we were in a rush, I politely asked staff member A if we could place our order in advance to save time. Staff member A went to check for us. However, a short-haired woman at the drink station suddenly yelled at us, pointing at the bar seats, saying, "If you're in a rush, sit at the bar! Otherwise, you wait!" Her tone was as if she was scolding a dog. I was furious and asked staff member A why she was treating a customer like that. I had simply asked if we could place an order early. If it wasn't possible, they could've just said no politely. Staff member A apologized, but the damage was already done. Coincidentally, the four-person table became available, and we were seated. Since we were pressed for time, we ate quickly and prepared to leave. I planned to ask for the short-haired woman's name to file a complaint with the owner, but despite asking several times, all the staff covered for her and refused to tell me. To the owner of this restaurant, I'd like to ask: Is this how your staff treats customers? Yelling at us like we're dogs? I was speaking politely, yet she shouted at me like that. This is truly horrible service! I hope you take this seriously, but either way, I'll never return to a restaurant that treats customers this way. Anyone who doesn't want to be treated like a dog should avoid this place! With the current challenges in the restaurant industry, hiring staff like this will only make things worse. I wouldn't be surprised if this place shuts down soon!

    Went here for lunch! It's an HK cafe styled restaurant with a variety food but a bit expensive. Their portion sizes are pretty good though. I got the baked Portuguese chicken on rice ($11.99). It came with soup and a drink (pictured). I got the cold milk tea (+$1). Overall, felt portions were good but it was a little pricey without having anything that stood out in particular. Not my first choice of restaurants in the area but they're alright.

    Very nice waitresses. Clean places with many tables. A little bit noisy. The food was good. The ramen pork broth was a little watery though. It felt as if we were in Korea !

Once we were seated, the food came out in under 5 minutes for everyone, which was honestly impressive considering how busy they were. Prices are about average for an HK café and the food was decent. We all ordered the satay beef instant noodles (沙嗲牛肉公仔麵), so I can't really comment on the rest of the menu yet. The highlight for me was definitely the drinks. Both the Hong Kong-style milk tea (奶茶) and yuenyeung (鴛鴦) had a nice bold, authentic flavour that's getting harder to find these days. Overall, a solid spot for Hong Kong-style comfort food, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

They're especially well known for their Hong Kong style milk tea, which truly lives up to the reputation.

Some standout menu items include the black pepper chicken steak, the scallion pork chop rice, and the satay beef instant noodles, all of which deliver familiar Hong Kong flavors done right. The milk tea deserves a special mention. Rich, aromatic tea paired with silky smooth milk, well balanced, and you can ask for the sweet level you like. With quick service, reasonable prices, and consistently good food, Chrisly is an easy recommendation for anyone in the area looking for authentic HK café vibes.

It was a let down of all aspects unfortunately - from service, to food quality, and it's worth. Upon arriving and dining here, I was surprised to see the place pretty empty.

Not a smile was once seen from any of the serve staff. The food was okay with portions being smaller than what I remember it to be and prices higher than what a usual HK cafe should be as well. Our chicken instant noodle with green onion and ginger was drowning in A LOT of oil - although tasty, it was not pleasant to eat since it was so greasy. Overall, our party of 8 found the entire meal to be super expensive for the food quality and options. It was quite a hefty bill tbh. Fortunately, after I visited I did see that they posted online that they are under new management and have changes to their business. So hope they rejig their food, pricing and service.
