My first time here I would love to go there again, for a dinner with my family. The food is authentic Hong Kong western style. It's very clean and service was great ,as well it was fast and delicious. It's a bit hard for Parking have to park on side streets Also the place is very small chances are that you must wait. Nothing fancy just an awesome food for little place.

Review Template ===…read more1. VERDICT/VALUE A small HK-style joint will serve you reasonable portions at a decent price - their combos are worth considering when look for good eats or takeout! === 2. FOOD Ham and Egg Bun Thick burger essentially provided with plenty of eggs scrambled with ham - worth the wait! Eggs with Two Meats I happened to choose two sunny side up eggs with two pieces of spam; it comes one piece of hash brown, fried beans, and a piece of toast with a little butter. Soup and Noodles The quantity noodles is pretty sizeable for $3.75 price; the soup reasonable too. The pork and preserved vegetable and fish ball soups worked well for breakfast. Drinks #1.25 for warm drinks and $1.75 for cold drinks - good deal and customizable! === 3. SERVICE It was good overall; it can seem slow because they place is always packed with guests waiting for tables, but the service is good in Cantonese or English. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's not really large, but your groups of 2, 4, and maybe 6 can be seated. It's reasonably clean and can fit a stroller or wheelchair. Parking is limited to whatever you are lucky enough to find on the street!

I decided I should try to review some Crystal Mall eateries, I love coming here but never thought…read moreabout sharing my thoughts for my fellow yelpers! So you come to Crystal Mall, and you got to check out Crystal Cafe which is very centrally located near top of the escalators. It is a HK Cafe. They have a HUGE menu everything from HK style breakfast with instant noodles and egg, egg toast, etc to standard HK Cafe Chinese dishes. Today I came and saw a special menu and at the top of it an oil chicken special. For $16 you get full meal, soup plus drink (I got HK milk tea - 奶茶) which is a terrific deal. It comes with two marinated eggs - delish - and the chicken and rice both have great flavour. I also love the soup which is simple Cantonese style with a spare rib bone in it. Would definitely come here again. Next time I'm having the HK breakfast which I miss!

Had a really enjoyable lunch here…read more Got the stir fried beef rice noodle and an iced milk tea. It was perfection (amid being a tad too greasy). It was well portioned for the price ($17) and had that 'wok hay' that's missing in so many Cantonese restaurants. My milk tea was good but it's nowhere near as strong as Lido's milk tea flavour. My takeout was approximately 4 portions of noodles (for 1 person). I took this to go and ate it at home and it was still really good. Noodles were cooked to perfection as they weren't soggy for the following meals I had. Beware they only take cash or debit card (if over $15).

Absolutely outstanding customer service, we were able to be seated quickly, and the family atmosphere was what we expected and have come to enjoy. We got the special were you pick the number of dishes, we choose the 4, and be prepared as this is more than enough for 4 with leftovers, however don't let that fool you, the flavors are amazing, over the top amazing. Mapo Tofu nice spice and plenty of tofu, the spicy string beans had a sweet meat, and the beans were crisp, just delicious. The fried fish so good and flavorful, seafood fried rice was spectacular, and with that said the shrimp and eggs was the best I've ever tasted, shrimp was so tender, and the eggs were perfect soft and creamy. What a meal. Definitely recommend.

Ai Yah!!! ... but they were stoic and steadfast in their machine gun staccato Cantonese telling us no worries , Be Happy as you are at Happy Valley ... We placed our order as per the tent card to be well over $50 to get the bonus Siu Mai... the waitress said it was only for week days ... DUH why didn't you take the tent card down .. Ai Ya!!!! Any how we had the usual , Cheung fun, Sin Jok Geung , Wu Gok and the Siu Mai had 5 instead of 4 pieces and added the crunchy stir fried Halibut .. all Delicious and equals Hong Kong standards either TST or Causeway Bay The waitress said you can park for free at the ICBC lot on Sunday's as it closed .. .... good to see they know how to look after their customers who were busier than the next door restaurant , Birdies ... who were oblivious to the parking tip and who must have had a bird from being a invisible minority venue being beat by a visible minority' venue .. Ah So lah .. Birdies was invisible as it must have frustrated diners that kept wasting time looking for parking . ... Ruffling the feathers of its customers as some flocked to Happy Valley instead .

This place is pretty top tier in terms of quality and taste…read more Ordered the infamous salty peppery chicken nugget set. Chicken was perfectly cooked and season as expected. If you haven't had Taiwanese style chicken nuggets, you're missing out on life! Side dishes were just ok but I can't expect much since they're just sides. Ordered the honey milk tea with grass jelly and I'd say they do it just the way I like it. You can really taste that honey throughout the milk tea. Looking back as previous reviews regarding service, I can tell they've improved a lot on that front. Our server checked on us a couple times and was very friendly. This on a Friday night btw. It's definitely one of my top go to places for salty peppery chicken nuggets and honey milk tea. Would have given it 5 stars but you can get the same thing at bubble world for about $5 less.

I have been hearing this restaurant for a long time but have never been…read more we mainly went for the shaved ice and we did order a couple of items. We ordered a hot and sour soup and the egg rolls with green onions. the taste of the soup was alright but it had some interesting ingredients which are not usually part of the authentic hot and sour soup (such as cabbage and daikon). The egg rolls were alright as well but the egg needed more seasoning as it was very bland. The stars are mainly for the shaved ice. there were very nice selection of toppings for the shaved ice. We chose taro, grass jelly, condensed milk and mixed beans. I would recommend this restaurant for the desserts but not the food..

I…read morecame by for lunch. between my dining partner and I, we ordered: scallion oil pork chop with dry noodles - basically a portion of dry instant noodles with 2 generous pork chops on top with scallion oil. Solid, and a ton of meat. Meat slightly too dry but still good. Noodles were nice texture. Soup noodle with chicken and pork chop - it was a build-your-own meal and we choose pork chop and chicken. Comes with a bowl of soup instant noodles. The pork chop was same as the one above. The chicken was a whole chicken thigh. Chicken was good. flavourful and well cooked. Soup noodles were fine but got soggy as they always do over time. Side of scrambled eggs with toast - eggs were good. Nice soft cook on it. Came with the noodle bowl as a combo. 2 drinks. All that for $31 all-in and we couldnt finish it between 2 people. Food is a solid 4/5. Service is as you'd expect for a food court stall. People were friendly enough but theyre super busy so they move you along. This is in the President Plaza food court so its definitely dated but totally fine for a simple budget meal. Value of this place is easy 5/5. Would recommend if you're in the area and want some affordable HK cafe food.

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. I'd definitely come back, especially for that satay beef and egg sandwich!

After eating at its competitor a few times in recent days, I don't think cha don is comparable…read moreanymore. Firstly, the attitude and service is absolutely awful (compared to the T Mills location). I'm not sure whether it's because they're located in an Asian mall which gives them this entitlement? Regardless, the cashier was quite rude, which included throwing my change back at me. Some coins even fell to the ground and i had to pick them up. Secondly, they do not allow modification of their ice level even though other similar stores allow it. Also, their iced drinks are smaller in size. The toppings on the noodle was extremely salty. Did the cook shed big crocodile tears? Lol. Anyway, I took the toppings out and gave them a rinse with hot water.

We ordered the Baked Seafood rice and it came BOILING hot. I loved how it was still bubbling (as you can see in the video). It had a lovely sauce to rice ratio, and it was delicious. We also got the French Toast and it is always a fan favourite. Perfectly golden and deep fried perfection pieces of bread with sweet jam sandwiched between. Yum.

I was looking forward to dining here as i heard they serve HK Cafe style…read more I was disappointed in the food. We ordered the gai lan as they didn't have pea tips. It tasted like it was boiled and then drenched with oil and sprinkled with garlic. There was not much flavour. We ordered the wonton soup as they didn't have hot and sour soup. The wontons were ok, but the broth was flavourless. Our third dish was the stir fry rice noodles with beef. Again, lacking flavour. The rice noodles were not the correct ones (not wide kind), and there weren't any green onions (scallions) like the traditional HK dish. The restaurant seemed bright and clean enough. The service was not the greatest. I was surprised to see it was full of Asians. Maybe due to the convenience of being in a mall. Sadly, we will not be returning.

The restaurant can get super busy so be ready to wait

Finally got a chance to try this place after a few decades. Still remember when it was Dragon Inn…read more The place was packed late at night, which is always a good sign. Parking is available but limited in the lot in front. Better to look along Kingsway, or in the side streets behind the restaurant. I found it hilarious that the lot specifically prohibits parking for Tina Cake next door. Guess that must've been a problem over the years. The inside is plain and quite dated (old school). Looks like something out of the 1980s. Awesome. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. Everything hit the spot in terms of authentic Cantonese. I had the stir fried beef with black pepper sauce, Hainan style chicken, and sweet and sour pork. Everything tasted great. Portion sizes are decent, and prices are quite reasonable. As the dishes are shared, it is best to come in groups (at least 3-4) so more dishes can be ordered. Looks like I've found my go-to for late night Cantonese food. Recommended.

Tasty Chinese (mostly Sichuan style) restaurant at the NW corner of Lougheed and Willingdon…read more Parking here is available but pretty horrendous outside of business hours. There are maybe 15 spots total for 4 separate food establishments. In addition, there are no free spots in the vicinity at all. For this reason, I have tried and failed to eat at this place for several years. Finally had a chance to try during lunchtime. The best option is probably to get here by transit. The place is decently sized. Staff are friendly. Can watch them crank away at the dumpling factory. Bit of entertainment when waiting for their food. The lunch special here is great value. Comes with soup too. The sichuan marbled pork & cabbage hit the spot. That tastyy Sichuan chili pepper taste. Beautiful. There is also an option for the thick (blade) noodles with no extra charge, which is a nice perk. The quantity was huge. I left stuffed and happy. I also looked at the neighbouring tables, and their non lunch items were also huge. Special mention. Definitely trying more of their food in their future. Just be mindful of their parking situation.
