Stopped by Chrisly Cafe for lunch today and really enjoyed our first visit. We waited about 30…read moreminutes, but I actually liked that they have a digital waitlist where you can enter your information and keep track of your spot instead of standing around waiting for your number to be called. 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. As shown in my photos, the dishes are well presented and look just as satisfying as they taste. The service is friendly and efficient, making the overall dining experience relaxed and enjoyable. 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.

The menu is massive and packed with authentic dishes you don't usually see on typical takeout menus. We ordered the mapo tofu and the twice-cooked pork, and both were packed with that signature numbing Sichuan peppercorn kick. The portions are incredibly generous - we had leftovers for two more meals. The dumplings were hand-made and perfectly pleated. The service is no-frills and efficient - don't expect white tablecloths, but do expect incredible food. Already planning our next visit to work through more of the menu.

We ended up getting the ham macaroni soup with a cheese ham sandwich combo, along with the O Street signature beef sandwich and fries from their new menu. Despite how busy it was on a Saturday, the food came out at a pretty reasonable speed, which I appreciated. The macaroni soup was just okay, very much the kind of simple comfort food that fills you up, but nothing especially memorable. I was most excited for the signature beef sandwich, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The burger/sandwich itself was smaller than I imagined, and it only had about 2-3 pieces of beef brisket inside with marinated bell peppers and their homemade sauce. The sauce leaned sweeter than expected, which might work for some people, but personally I was hoping for something more savoury and more generous with the beef. However, the brisket was tender, which was a win... ish. Overall, still a decent spot if you're craving classic HK cafe vibes and variety, especially for a casual meal with family.

Love to get their lunch specials which includes soup (their borscht is delicious with a nice spicy kick) and a drink. Hainanese chicken - delicious smooth and salty chicken.

The half rice and half spaghetti is always great to have two different starches. Tomato sauce is good too. 5/5. Bitter melon with chicken.

We finally gave this place a try as the first time there was a long line up and we were too hungry…read moreto wait, but this time we arrived during quiet time so its good for us as there isn't much seating available. Its at the Langham Square plaza area not far from the Kennedy plaza on south of Hwy 7 Kennedy area. Here is what we ordered: Pineapple Bun w/Butter- $7.95 comes with hot drink Cheung Fun Noodles w/ Siu Mai Fish & fishball I believe- $9.45 with hot drink. Hainese Chicken w/Rice - $11.95 First off, the pricing of this place is really good and much less expensive vs other HK cafe we've been to. Secondly, everything we ordered is standard for most part, except, the hainese chicken rice which was the most common dish ordered and now we know why... The rice has flavour of the chicken oil and fat, and the chicken though not the most tender or slippery they call it in chinese, but good enough. The star was the sauce they provided which is 3 types: one sweet dark soy sauce like, ginger scallion sauce and their chili sauce... All these were very very tasty along with the flavoured rice! You must give it a try if you remotely enjoy cold chicken with these amazing sauces... I only wish they sell the chili sauce because that is very tasty!

I've walked past this place many times and it always has a long line, so when we finally saw an…read moreempty table, we decided to give it a try. It was my first time here, and the experience started off on the wrong foot. I had barely sat down, not even 30 seconds, before a staff member was already hovering over us trying to take our order. I hadn't even had a chance to look the menu yet, which immediately made things feel rushed and uncomfortable. The space itself is quite small, and they won't let smaller groups of two people or fewer sit in the booths, which adds to that cramped and slightly stressful atmosphere. There's people hovering nearby watching if you're almost done. Overall, the entire dining experience felt rushed from start to finish. The food is cheap, I'll give them that, but unfortunately the quality reflects that. I ordered a sandwich and it was sloppily put together. The bread slices were not even aligned properly, where the top slice and bottom slices were in opposite directions, making it so you couldn't pick it up. Flavour-wise, I was hoping for more of a Hong Kong cafe style satay beef, but this wasn't it. The curry was okay, with some decent chunks of meat and potato, but nothing particularly memorable. What really left a bad impression was the payment experience. Their debit machine defaults to 12%, 15%, or 18% tips calculated after tax, with no upfront notice or custom option. Tipping is not mandatory in Canada, and it should be up to the customer based on service. When we asked about it, the response felt as if we were being made to feel cheap over "just a few cents". Honestly it is not about the amount, it is about principle. If you are just looking for a quick and cheap bite, this place might do the job. But considering the long lines and how rushed the experience is, you might end up waiting longer than you actually get to sit and eat. Personally, I will not be coming back. I would rather get takeout or dine somewhere that lets you actually relax and enjoy your meal.

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. All the other times I've been here it was pretty packed. The severs were unfortunately not very friendly at all, from taking our orders, to bringing our food, down to paying for the bill. 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.

So thick, fresh ingredients, and stuffed with awesomeness in between the breads. Milk tea was silky smooth and hot too. A truly 10/10 execution in an authentic HK café (CCT) style. Second time went there was run buy a few teens or perhaps uni students. Missed orders with eternal waiting after talking with them. Ended up with a cold French toast as the dish was used as a "café intern tutorial teaching material" behind the counter with lots of talking over it. No point to mess up my Saturday morning mood with innocent young people. I was young once and always tried to figure different things out with my hands, but not giving instructions literally on top of customers food though. (Sigh in a long deep breath...) Would I visit there again? Well, maybe... check first to see who's the chef of the day before sitting down. LOL.

Great place to go for families with children. We tried their Sham-Shui-Po Snack Platter* which was excellent. Loved the bean curd shrimp rolls and the fish balls. This was my favourite platter. Next we tried the Baked Tomato Cheese Pork Cutlet on Spaghetti. They were generous with the pork slices portion and there were quite a few cubed tomato pieces too. The Thick Luncheon Meat & Egg Instant Noodles were good with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. This was a popular order! We selected from the Afternoon Tea Menu - a freshly baked, crispy crust-topped Pineapple Bun with cold Butter which came with good quality tea used for their hot Hong Kong Milk Tea. Delicious tasting tea! We met the owner Maggie who was very personable and the staff were also nice and helpful. So many menu options to choose from. Very authentic. Good quality and great taste. Decent portions. Reasonable prices. Good value.
