We decided to get the combo for 2 that was ~$43 which included the daily soup, half hainan chicken + 2 sides of rice, another dish which we chose the braised tofu and vegetables and the daily dessert. We also ordered the stir fried flat noodles with beef. For 3 people this was alot of food and we had tons of leftovers! The hainan chicken was so juicy and flavourful and the rice that they cook in the chicken stock is amazing. The braised tofu was so juicy and the bok choy paired with it had a nice crunch. The flat noodles with beef was so good too and not super greasy. I definitely want to return to try different items on the menu.

Friends recommended this Hong Kong-style café on Kingsway, saying it offers better value in terms…read moreof portion size and pricing compared with many other cha chaan teng-style restaurants in Vancouver. We decided to give it a try one weekday afternoon. The seating is quite tight. For a party of two, we were seated along the wall with a small table and chairs facing each other, while the other side has a few cubicles more suitable for groups of four. The menu is extensive--perhaps even overwhelming--with many choices, so I would suggest looking at their menu online beforehand. We ordered from the afternoon tea menu: baked pork chop on rice and beef on rice noodles. Hong Kong-style coffee or tea was included, and each dish was around $16. The portions were generous, and both dishes were tasty. From a food and value perspective, we were satisfied. Unfortunately, our final experience at the cashier left us disappointed. The bill came to $32 before tax ($33.81 after tax). I paid $35 cash and told the cashier to keep the change. Instead of simply accepting it, she told me that the restaurant expected a minimum 10% gratuity. I found this uncomfortable and unprofessional. I understand tipping is customary in Vancouver, and I normally tip according to the service provided, but customers should not feel pressured or told that a minimum tip is required unless it is clearly posted as a restaurant policy. The service itself was perfectly adequate, but nothing beyond the usual ordering and serving of food. There was no extra attention or special effort that would justify being approached about a minimum gratuity after payment. Also, since the restaurant accepts cash only, it would be helpful to have a clear "Cash Only" notice displayed at the entrance so customers are aware before dining. To be clear, this review is not about the food quality or pricing. The food was good, and the value was actually one of the restaurant's strengths. My disappointment comes entirely from the way the gratuity issue was handled at the cashier. A good dining experience should include not only good food, but also a professional and respectful final interaction with customers.

BT Cafe 大拇指餐廳 Review Location: 920 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC…read more位置： 溫哥華京士威道 920 號 (English version) BT Cafe is a delightful neighbourhood gem located on Kingsway. The standout for me was definitely their Sweet and Sour Pork--the sauce is impeccably balanced, perfectly capturing that nostalgic, classic flavor that's hard to find these days. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, creating a welcoming environment from the moment you walk in. While the ambiance is cozy and warm, I did notice that the high backs of the booths can be a bit wobbly/unstable, which is something to keep in mind if you're looking for extra back support. Overall, a great spot for a comforting meal! 繁體中文] 位於溫哥華京士威道 (Kingsway) 的大拇指餐廳 (BT Cafe) 是間非常討喜的鄰里餐館。他們家的咕嚕肉絕對是必點，那種咕嚕汁調配得非常地道，酸甜平衡得剛剛好，充滿了讓人懷念的經典風味。店員服務態度親切，讓人感到賓至如歸。餐廳整體的氛圍溫馨舒適，不過值得留意的是，部分卡座的椅背稍微有些晃動，若對座椅穩定度有要求的話可能要注意一下。總體而言，這是一個享受暖心餐點的好地方！

I ordered the 酸辣肥肠粉 pork intestine sour spicy noodle(added an egg) and potato shreds cold stir凉拌土豆丝 Ok I have to to say, the potato dish is THE BEST i have had in canada and it is a very very high compliment from me, since I order that whenever I can. It's soooo good and I ate the whole plate in a few mins. The pork intestine noodle is so so, I wish there are more pork intestine, I had 4-5 pieces and they r quite small, the egg tho, is sooooo good, it's worth it to add one to the noodle. They also add a ton of peanuts so if u have allergies u need to tell them, they wont ask u. She also gave me a small ice jelly dessert for free in the end, it tastes so good??!!! I am so full at this point otherwise I would ask if I can eat a full portion one lol Overall I will come back！

This place is tiny, as in it can seat about 20 people, and every table had people and had piping hot food on each. Both me and my friend needed to wait a few minutes till someone left, and when we got seated, they gave us their regular menu, and later on gave us a picture book.. and if you guessed it.... everything on their menu with a separate picture. My friend ordered his bowl of spicy pork chop glass noodles in soup, and I had a dry version of spicy noodles with pork. We also ordered their deep fried tofu, deep fried chicken, and a plate of spicy cucumber. Every dish was done just right, and what I mean by that is that every hot dish seemed to be made to order, and it was confirmed when we spoke to the lady there. The spicy cucumber dish came out, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients, the cucumber, although the chili oil used was spicy, due to the freshness of the cucumber, was sweet too. The deep fried tofu had a nice hard outer deep fried shell, and yet the inside was soft and really hot, the chicken took the longest, but this was worth waiting for, with the thin deep fried batter, I don't think I have ever had chicken this hot in temperature, and it was great. Both noodle dishes were huge, and I wondered how my friend ended up eating all of his, I had to take 1/3 of mine home as it was too much. We also ordered a plum drink and a hawthorne drink and at the end was served complimentary jelly as dessert. This was a great meal and if you are in the area, I would recommend you try this place out.

The beef noodle is really good and authentic. I love the chewiness of the noodle, the beef cut is tender and not too fatty. The soup is rich and aromatic, but not over salty like many other stores. I even drank most of the soup, and it didn't leave me thirsty. The tea is quite tasty but the peach flavor is a bit artificial, plus I find it too expensive, as they charge $7 for that. There's no bubble or coconut jelly, and is not like they use fruit puree for the tea like A Bento. I do look forward to go and try other dishes, as their bento, chicken nuggets and oyster pancakes seem appealing. Price is reasonable as well, if I am in the area, I'll definitely be back.

The inside has a total of 13 seats. Order and pay when you walk in. Menu is short with appetizers, eight entrees and bubble tea. - Beef noodle soup ($14.00) - broth was well rounded. Beef tender yet meaty. Wanted more pickled mustard. Good portion of noodles but wanted a firmer bite. - Dong po pork ($15.00) - all the side dishes were solid. Pork belly was decent but fatty and oily. Liked the lightly pickled cucumber. Rong Rong had some simple, comforting Taiwanese dishes. 3.5 stars.

In fact, the family at the table next to us was complaining in Chinese Cantonese about how spicy everything was, even though they had requested mild to no spice. While the flavors were strong, the popular Hainan chicken was just okay, it was nice that it was boneless, but we have definitely had better elsewhere. ​There are no bathrooms available for customers. The seating is very limited inside, there are only 4 tables (two that seat two people and two that seat four) along with a few counter spots. ​Sadly, we won't be coming back.
