    Deep Fried Drumstick with Pasta! Hands down the BEST meal I had in Vancouver! The drumstick was extra crispy, juicy and meaty! Not only was it DELICIOUS, it was cheap. I'm drooling as I'm typing this. I'm about to book a plane ticket so I can go back to eat it again.

    Unbelievably good deep fried chicken drumstick cooked Hong Kong Style. We didn't expect much from a stall inside a small food center but we were pleasantly surprised with one of the best meals we had on our trip to Vancouver. The chicken was Juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor. The prices are super reasonable and portions are massive.

    We came on a weekday for a quick lunch. Got the macaroni satay beef to compare with the one from cha kee. I prefer the cha kee satay noodles compared to this one. This one didn't have the fragrant peanut flavour the other one did. I also prefer the egg sandwich from cha kee more as the eggs were more fluffy and better cooked. The milk tea was not bad Overall I prefer cha kee more than this one for the eggs and the satay beef

    One Cafe in Empire Centre is serves HK Style dishes. Had to go to pineapple bun (bo luo bao) with scrabble eggs and satay beef. Seating was busy and had to go outside to the benches. Very good signed bun. The topping held together well and didn't break up when you breathed on it. Very sloppy to hold with the scrambled eggs and satay sauce. Take lots of napkins or bring wipes. Very affordable prices and satisfies your HK cravings.

    Another HK style renowned street food eatery opened in the Empire Centre, neighboring to the main shop night in the Parker Place. This one week old food stall provides more choices to the contemporary HK style food. So far the food is delicious, portion size could see improvement and the prices are pretty standard. I do like the hot drink are in 16 oz. cups, way better than the other competitors just use small (8oz) cups. I also like there are ample free parkings available to customers... Pretty sure I would return again and try their other items:)

    This place takes me back to HK, food is tasty, service is fast. Their tea is full of caffeine so gotta be careful how much you drink.

When I found out they had a location in Empire Centre, we headed there just after they opened at 9:00... and no line?!? We ordered their famous scrambled eggs with fish cutlet and toast, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The eggs were incredibly soft and creamy which was reminiscent of omurice. The fish cutlet was perfectly fried (crispy on the outside and flaky inside) which paired beautifully with the savoury onion sauce. We also had the pineapple bun with satay beef, which was another winner. The sweet, fluffy bun and rich, savoury satay filling were a perfect combination. Salty and sweet! Of course, no Hong Kong café experience is complete without Hong Kong milk tea, and Cha Don's version was excellent... smooth, rich, and exactly what you'd hope for. It's easy to see why there's always a lineup (which started right after we got our food). Great execution of Hong Kong café classics, friendly service, and food that's well worth making the trip for. I can definitely see myself coming back.

    I'm convinced that this food stall carries the business for half of the mall. When we arrived on…read moreSaturday morning, all the tables were packed! 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. All the food in the picture came out to less than $40 which is a decent deal in this time and age. I liked the broth of my macaroni soup as it was well seasoned, but not heavy at all. 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.

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.

No acknowledgement but just re-corrected the bill and handed me the meter. Then asked where the tip was and then I indicated it was cash left on the table. The waitress must be having an off day but very lackadaisical when asked for take out trays and the bill. Food portions were abundant but the chow mein wasn't so good. Bitter melon with spare ribs was good. Don't think we will be back

Dinner portions are BIG, great for sharing or to pack extras home. Price includes drink and soup, no upcharge for iced drinks (they may have won me over with this, most spots usually add a charge) 9a baked cream sauce spinach & basa fillet on rice rice - my goodness I LOVE THIS DISH. Everything I was craving. Good amount of sauce, cheese, and fish. Met all my expectations with 50% more in size. 40a shrimps and swirl egg with flat rice noodle - good wok work, the noodles have a nice colour and char from being tossed before sauce was layered on top. I am a hater of peas and was pleasantly surprised it didn't come with it. Perfect texture and flavour, one note that shrimps have a slightly alkaline taste from the marination process. Borscht soup is tomatoey and acidic (not my pref, but well-loved by my boyfriend). Cream soup is rich and not too heavy. HK milk tea and mix with coffee are tasty. Friends ordered singaporean style vermicelli and a curry beef brisket, both looked good. $60 for 2 dishes, 2 drinks, 2 soups is real value. Will be back to this homey cha chaan teng great for some carb-heavy meals for sure!

We only had our credit cards and I asked the person at the cash register if they take credit card, she said nope but there is an ATM upstairs at the Superstore. We went upstairs to grab some cash from the ATM out front. When we got back downstairs, the lady in charge already had reserved a table for us and immediately explained to us what is served during the breakfast hours. She gave us a few recommendations and we went with the wonton with brisket as they ran out of fish balls and the HK Style Grilled Beef with Black Peppercorn Sauce. Both items were marvelously well made, the peppercorn sauce is EXACTLY how its done in HK and all major cities with a huge HK population. But the winner is the wonton. By golly, I have had hundreds of bowls of wonton, I have made hundreds of wonton dumplings for my family's business but this one really stands out amongst all of them. The service is efficient and very friendly and they greeted so many regular customers with kind words asking about their work and family. I felt like I was entering into a HK neighborhood corner cafe.
