    Pork curry
    Alexandra B.

    Came here on Father's Day for a lunch and was not disappointed! They were extremely busy (to be expected) but the service was still smooth and you could easily get their attention. Food came out at different times, but all was fresh and tasted great! Inside was loud but lively. It was nice.

    This place just opened recently, aimed to serve traditional Hong Kong cafe food. Good for any age group and any occasions. The food is slightly above average, there are definitely better hk cafes out there but it's still enjoyable. Check the menu and order the recommended dishes. The soup is pretty good here.

    Lovely new Hk cafe addition to the community! Taste was on point, portions are fair and the price is super reasonable for the area! Pro: They take credit card!! Con: Wished their website was more up to date with their current menu.

    We have been to the other locations so had to try their relatively new location here. It's paid parking on Yonge and u might get lucky if u try for free parking in the back. It's your normal HK style restaurant flair. Service is quick but staff are nice and can answer questions. But it's a rare place that doesn't offer cash discount. The food was excellent. Their menu is huge like your would expect. Would recommend if u enjoy HK style restaurants.

    I am back again! Sometimes for lunch and dinner. The all day breakfast spiced pork cubes with vermicelli soup and eggs and toast is always my go to. 五香肉丁湯米. I think they make one of the best in Toronto. 阿森 one of the staff is so friendly, attentive, professional and super kind. His service is excellent! Will be back again!

    The HK cafe hype isn't over yet and here's to another new location recently opened in North York with walking distance from Finch Station on Yonge Street! Since the soft opening was only a couple weeks ago, I see some room for improvement here. The food was great but the seating felt super crammed together, the managers were great but the new staff were still getting familiar with the fast paced dinner rush on weekends and looked confused. Soups came in Mugs, which was a clever idea because it keeps the soup hot for a longer time. No complaints with our dinner but hoping to see more organized staff during our next visit!

    Hai nam chicken with ginger onion sauce for the chicken. Yummy!

    We originally came for another restaurant, however, it close down and was replace by this cafe. You can find a this cafe in Markham as well. So, we gave it a try. I order their signature baked pork chop rice and Hai nam chicken. I was pleasantly surprised with both dishes. I was amazed how well they cooked the pork chop. It might be a simple dish, but it not easy to master. The pork chop was just cooked to perfection, compared to other cafes, they end up over cooking pork to a beef jerky texture. It was a nice thick slab of pork. The rice was not just plain rice, they used the Hai nam favoured rice and poured a heaping amount of tomato sauce. So the sauce coats every single spoonful of rice and you are satisfied at every bite. The Hai Nam chicken was just perfectly cooked, juicy and flavourful. The prices are really good compared to the other restaurants on the strip which can charge much more for the same portion or less of what you get here. I would definitely come here again to try other dishes. The dishes also came with a Ikea cup of soup. I left with a full belly and leftover to take out. Definitely worth a try if you have a craving for chinese fast food.

    Came here on a Friday night and had such a fun experience…read more The space has a great after dark vibe with dim lighting and neon accents, cozy but still lively. We ordered the oden set with yogurt soju, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and the salmon fried udon with uni sauce. Everything was super comforting and flavorful, especially the oden on a cold night. What really made it stand out was the bingo game. It got the whole bar involved and made the night feel more interactive and social. We ended up chatting with a group nearby and even taught them a Malaysian yam seng cheers, which turned into a really fun moment. Great spot for a lively night out with good food and energy. Would come back.

But unfortunately, this time we got a bit disappointed. Platter was filled with cheap/frozen fries that I don't event want to put it in my system. Salmon udon looked so sad, and we couldn't finish it. Cocktail was not bad though. I liked their lighting and decorations. The server looks cute but doesn't seem to be knowledgeable when we had questions (and keep forgot our requests..) I support local businesses and hate to say this. But probably I may not come back anymore as now there are many other fusion bar options available in North York. *This is only personal opinion, and your experience might be different. I'm not mad or anything haha. Just being honest about what we had that day hoping this helps other Yelpers to decide where to visit or what to eat spending their precious time and money :)

    Best Hong Kong café I've ever been to!…read more I'm visiting from the U.S. and was searching Google for a Hong Kong restaurant on a Sunday night. Most places were already closed, but this one was open until 11 PM, so I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! The food was amazing--it's a creative fusion of Hong Kong flavors with unique dishes that were all delicious. Everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. The only thing I regret is not trying their Tiramisu Choco Bun. I'll definitely be back to try it, even if it's not until my next visit next year. The service was excellent as well. Everyone was friendly, and I especially appreciated the young gentleman who I believe is the owner. He took the time to explain their signature dishes and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended if you're looking for creative, high-quality Hong Kong fusion cuisine!

We ordered: Hainanese chicken with noodles Black Bean Sauce Pork Ribs and assorted preserved sausage and meat (pork) on lotus leaf rice. Dessert Black Sesame glutinous rice in sweet ginger soup Signature Steamed Egg Pudding (hot) The food was quite delicious and was served hot. The owners really take care of serving quality food. We were there chatting for quite a while and we were not rushed out. Our bill was split into 3 automatically for our convenience and it had suggested tip amounts and percentages listed at the end of the bill. I thought that information was really useful. This is a cute HK style cafe. It offers an extensive menu. It is located really close to the TTC station at Yonge and Finch. There is also paid street parking on Yonge street and the side streets.

I feel some restaurants tend to use pork that is not fresh for this dish to save a few bucks, particularly, because they thought the tomato sauce could cover up that taste. I decided to give it a shot at Cha Kee because I just really wanted to have it today, and damn, I've got to say I was extremely impressed by the baked pork chop on rice here. It was perhaps one of the best I've ever tasted in recent years, after visiting countless HK tea restaurants. The tomato sauce itself is perfect - sour and sweet in the best way possible. The pork chop? Excellent. Not only is it super fresh (unlike how it is sometimes served in other Hk tea restaurants), but the texture, the cut and the flavours are all perfect. The uniquely juicy thick cut was nicely coated in panko and cooked to crispy perfection. Every bite is a satisfying, pleasant surprise. While it is not the cheapest in town, it comes with a free drink (and the ice drink is the same price!) I will definitely come back often.

Their signature baked pork chop rice has a brimming amount of meat atop plain egg fried rice. It's a nice blend of crispiness & umami in each bite, although the tomato cheese sauce can be on the watery side. The other all-day meals we've tried include vermicelli with scrambled egg & toast, and tomato beef vermicelli. HK drinks are included in the meal (milk, coffee or lemon tea). Good affordable option for a quick bite.

    Went there twice with totally different experience…read more First time was so good and you can tell the bun was nicely prepared. It's almost like a big burger. 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.

Breakfast Menu is available from 8am-11am. Afternoon High Tea Menu is available from 2:30pm-5:30pm. HK Style Cha Chaan Teng Kids Menu orders come with free toy. 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.

    Hou Kee is a great budget friendly spot for a tasty and filling meal…read more FOOD (4/5) The Longjiang Pork Knuckle Rice is their specialty dish and is their store's namesake. The main portion of the dish is super tender braised pork knuckle (not as weird as it may sound) on a bed of white rice glazed with a house Chinese BBQ sauce. It comes with sides of pickled "sour" veggies (酸菜), cabbage, tofu, and hard boiled egg. The pork knuckle almost melts in your mouth and is so decadent with the BBQ sauce. The sides give nice textural contrast and palette contrast. VALUE (5/5) The pork knuckle rice altogether is $10 plus tax and leaves you full and fulfilled. Great portions and is balanced with good proportion of meat, rice, and veggies. They only take debit or cash. LOCATION (3.5/5) Located on the East side of Yonge St by Northtown Way, it is halfway between Finch and North York Center subway stations. There is paid street parking along Yonge. The store is quite small with 2-3 tables, so would expect to do takeout during peak hours. OVERALL (4.5/5) Really good value for a tasty well rounded meal. I will definitely be returning if I want a quick lunch or dinner with bang for buck. Paired with great flavours and quality of ingredients makes this a nice cheap eats reco!
