Haven't visited this restaurant in awhile so I decided why not dine here for some HK food. My family and I were heading to Sing Cafe before changing our mind to go to Silver Tower Restaurant. We ordered L9 Laksa ($16.75), K10 Malaysian Char Quay Teow ($16.75), and D4 Baked Porkchop Cutlet on Rice ($16.75) with milk tea, coffee and lemon iced tea. Porkchop was good. Laksa and Char Quay Teow were disappointing. Laksa had tons of noodle with less soup. It tasted blend. As for Char Quay Teow, it wasn't the usual noodle dish we had elsewhere. It was some panfried curry noodle instead of the usual stirfried Char Quay Teow. This place used to be good 10 years ago. Dishes tasted quite bland. My family weren't too excited about the food as well.
The biggest perk of this place is that it closes at 1:30am. We went here after a late night and I got the half Hainanese chicken ($23.50) which came with rice and a daily soup. For the soup, I chose Russian borscht. The chicken was really yellow so I had doubts going in, but it turned out tasting great! It was authentic, served quite chilled and the flavours really seeped into it. They also gave a generous amount of ginger/green onion dip. Only complaint I had was the thicker cuts of chicken were a bit dry. The soup was also great, it was kind of viscous and had a very strong tomato flavour. Overall, I thought it was a pretty good deal considering they gave half a chicken + the soup and rice. Would come here again for a late night meal!
Recommended by tiktok and decided to go try it as a HongKonger (would be more critical to my own cuisine) HK french toast - super delish, you can decide on how much syrup or butter you want on the toast and toast itself was crispy with more gooey butter inside HK lemon tea - wish I could pour in the syrup myself it was a tad bit too sweet for me but it's really similar to the real thing 乾炒牛河pan fried beef with flat rice noodles - beef is super tender and not too oily (compared to this dish's standards cuz it's meant to be oily) 焗豬扒飯 Baked pork on tomato sauce rice - docked some points off bc I wish there was more sauce to mix into the rice later on. There's a generous amount of pork and the sauce was really good Borscht soup - tastes a bit water down, wish there's beef or tomato in it
One of the best HK-style cafe food I've ever had in Vancouver. Inside was nice and bright. Rows filled with happy customers and appetizing food. Came here with a really special friend who recommended me a tasty pork chop rice dish that was amazing!! The auntie servers were ALL super friendly and nice, so I HOPE they get raises and get tipped really well Will definitely come back again -- definitely recommend.
Hong Kong style cafe food was what we wanted and that is what was delivered. Quickly seated and was told we were still in time for their daily special if we ordered quick enough and we make some quick choices. 1) Baked pork chop rice....great classic staple and tasted so good. hot, gooey and crispy. cant go wrong. 2) Bake seafood rice. coconutty sauce and fried rice along with plenty to seafood. i didnt like they used a bunch of fake crab meat though. they had some squid, shrimp and fish along with fake crab meat. please just stick with all seafood. 3) Curry lamb was pretty decent. whoever made it was definitely heavy handed when dealing with the curry powder. 4) Club sandwich - I liked this a lot and was pleasantly surprised with a fried egg which was a great combo! the Hong Kong style milk tea and the ice lemon tea were made well and overall left a great impression. I will definitely be back again for some good old fashion HK classics.
I ordered take out for one item which was the Hong Kong style baked pork chop over rice. Service was very quick and the order was done and ready. She asked if I wanted a small or large order. I didn't know what the difference was, so ordered the large. It was a huge order and it could easily fed 2 people with the order. Planned on coming back but with some many options in the area, we did not get a chance. Maybe on my next trip to Vancouver. Bonus that they open late.
A Cantonese friend from Richmond/Vancouver recommended this place as one of the go-to HK style cafes to check out. My first impressions of this place is that it is no-frills, food-focused experience than one with great ambience and service. While I have not been to Hong Kong yet, my friend mentioned that this is close to the authentic experience. We got the baked Portuguese chicken rice and the baked pork chop rice. From 11:00am-5:30pm and 9:00pm-close, there is a series of pages dedicated to discounted, "mini sets" items that have a steep discount compared to the "all day" menu. We were glad we ate an early dinner around 5pm, even though we weren't too hungry. These specials also come with a drink, which is almost nonexistent in the US with all the inflation going on, so that was a great surprise. We opted both for the cold HK style milk tea, which was decent. The baked Portuguese chicken rice has a good amount of chicken and rice, with some potatoes loaded in. It is somewhat creamy and well spiced, and even the "mini set" itself is already good enough for a large meal for one. The baked pork chop rice is my go-to item usually when I go to HK style cafes, and this one was done quite well. It is a little bit on the tangier side from the tomato sauce, and the cheese they used is not of great quality, but I can't really complain with the price they charged. The pork is lightly fried and quite flavorful, and the rice had great texture to it. There is not as much pork as there was the chicken in the baked Portuguese chicken rice, but both dishes were quite solid. The food was good enough that, because where I commuted from (Seattle), there isn't that strong of a HK cafe scene, so I decided to get a to-go order of the beef chow fun which had a decent amount of salt and not too much oil. I felt great after eating a bit of that for lunch the next day, as opposed to the dreaded heavy feeling I usually get after eating this dish at HK style cafes in the states so far. Service is decent as requests are fulfilled in a timely manner, but some attention to detail would be great. It took a while to flag the server down, noting that we have 3 people and there was only 1 plate and 2 sets of fork and spoons. Note that this place is cash only, which makes it even more authentic :)
Good curry. Baked tomato chicken over rice had actual big tomato slices. The service was quick
Food was alright, but service was not too friendly. Food: I ordered the baked pork chop rice which came with a free drink. The portion was alright but it had too many rice and too little meat and sauce. It seems to me that the pork chop was actually fried or deep fried instead of baked; it's almost like a pork katsu which was kinda disappointing. Service: As I was trying to figure out the tipping policy in Canada and getting familiarize with the Canadian coins, one of the staff walked over to me and said "you have to tip here". It's not until that she saw me looking at my coin that she walked away mumbling "oh, you are tipping in coins". I do understand that tipping could be a big part of their paycheck, but I still find it kind of rude the way she handled the situation. I feel like there's probably a better or more polite way of asking for a tip instead of telling the customers that they are required to tip.
While having a family shopping day in the area, my parents wanted to stop and have an afternoon tea/snack at a HK Style Café somewhere along Richmond's Alexandra road. A random search for nearby places on my phone, and this place popped up in my search results. From the outside, the place is quite assuming. I was pleasantly surprised upon entering the restaurant; it looked like the place had recently undergone some renovations. Neat, clean, with all the expected COVID-related protocols and safeguards in place, and yes, they check your vaccine passport and ID cards quite closely). Since the timing was right, my parents and I shared a couple of mini-sets. These are always one of my favourite types of orders at any HK style café, a big reason being that a hot drink (coffee/tea) is usually included. We decided to share the staple Stir Fried Beef with Flat Noodles, and the Baked Basa Filet and Spinach on Rice in Cream Sauce. A slight hiccup when we tried to order local style coffees with our mini-sets, only to be told they only have HK style coffees. Oops! But the quick thinking waitress offered to serve us the coffee black, with the condensed milk served on the side. Turned out very well! My parents and I were quite happy with how the food turned out. Both dishes came out piping hot, a warm welcome on a nippy day like today. The Stir Fried Beef with Flat Noodles had just the right amount of oil (and was not dripping in grease). The Baked Basa & Spinach was coated with sauce that was creamy and not too salty, sitting on top of a bed of rice that had just the right amount of texture for me (not mushy but not overly hard). Summary of my impressions: a great salt-of-the-earth HK style café if you are looking for delicious dishes, and more than reasonable prices.
Had lunch here today and the food was pretty good. We ordered the baked pork chop with rice and it was really good. The pork chops were crispy and the dish was very flavourful. Also ordered the beef brisket chow mein. The brisket was very tender and delicious. First time trying this dish and was pleasantly surprised. Service was lacking because there just isn't enough staff but staff are friendly ( just too busy).
=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Prices have gone up over the years, but it's still a hidden gem of a HK-style cafe in Richmond. Not glamorous from the outside, but slight renovations on the inside and good food make Silver Tower a good choice for good eats! === 2. FOOD This review is based on recent takeout orders...drinks of your choice are $0.75 for the first drink and $1 for each subsequent drink. Ham & Mushroom Fried Instant Noodle ($17): simple, yet delicious! The mushrooms, red peppers, bean sprouts help too :) Mixed Mushrooms with Seasonal Vegetables ($16.95): the veg is bok choy sprouts at the moment and when it's all cooked with a little oyster sauce, it tastes pretty good with the included serving of rice! Chinese Mushroom with Seasonal Vegetables ($17): similar to the above dish, minus the sliced canned mushrooms :) Shrimp & Scallops with Broccoli ($18.95): a healthy portion of good-sized shrimp and scallops highlight this dish - but those who tend to avoid ginger may want to ask them to hold back on the shaved ginger spread throughout! Deep Fried Pork Chop with Rock Salt ($17.25): tender, as spicy as you would like to make it, and perhaps one of the better offerings of such in town! Stewed Wild Mushroom with Yee Mein ($17): it felt a little short on mushrooms, but the best part is that the noodles were not as oily as offerings from some other joints in town! Still a solid choice. === 3. SERVICE Based purely on three takeout orders, the service has been decent as expected from phone order to pickup. As usual, English, Cantonese, and Mandarin work well here. === 4. ENVIRONMENT The layout of the restaurant has remained the same, with COVID impacting which tables could be used for dining in. A bit of a renovation in recent years seems to have lightened up the place and in this reviewer's eyes, would make dining in more appealing. Wheelchairs and strollers would still work here, best engaged at the tables in the middle or in the front of the restaurant. Parking is always dicey in the complex's lot; however, going earlier in the evening (say, before 6:00 pm) tends to reveal better results.
Came here for a cozy nostalgic meal, left with a happy tummy AND a whole meal's worth of leftovers. 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! read more
Didn't feel like making lunch....Silver Tower suitably good for 2 people. Had the usual, Baked Basa fish in white sauce, eggy shrimp over flat noodles and green beans in Balachan sauce. All is well, filled our stomach and have enough leftovers for dinner in the evening! Prices hasn't gone up that I'll notice, the mini sets are around $18 and the regular sized sets are $23 and up. read more
Been eyeing na passing by Silver Tower for many years. When one of our restaurants near by was closed for lunch, my friends and I decided this would be a good time to try since we found parking right out front (usually this area is bad for parking!). The decor is...,well, not anything special but cream walls and dark benches and wooden tables with medium lighting. I was getting worried but we stepped in so might as well move forward. To our surprise, we enjoyed the club sandwich, congee and pan fried rice noodles. The baked Portuguese chicken was ok. We would consider Silver Tower Cafe for late night eats for tradition HK style cafe. Service was so-so so that is why the deduction of one star. read more

Food: Baked tomato & cream sauce on rice $13.50 - tastes pretty good and portions are decent for their late night mini sets. This also includes a drink and I got the honey lemon water although the extra charge is $1.25. Service: Went with a party of 13 at 9:30pm, reservations were made in advance however when we got there the table wasnt ready yet. It took 30 mins to get our order down cause there's only 2-3 servers and the restaurant was packed...luckily the food and drinks came quickly. Cleanliness: They use plastic dividers that they can roll around so then they can make adjustments for larger parties. QR code wasnt thoroughly checked probably because we were a larger party. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back again since the food isn't bad even though the service was non existent (as expected for a HK cafe) It's a decent late night spot in richmond since they close at 1:30am. read more
If you're looking at getting some real hk feel good, this is the place. The atmosphere is totally hk style and even the service is. (If you know, you know) Environment: very good covid protocols are in place and they even divided the place out so that people only have one way to go to the washroom. It isnt super dirty but it's clean enough to sit for the meal. Service: same as hk style . Very rushed. And it takes so long to get their attention sometimes. Food: great! I had their congee with fermented egg and pork slices and baked pork chop rice! I would say that the congee is msg/salty and am in need of water. The baked pork chop rice is pretty darn good and would recommend trying it! read more

Nice location, good food and quick service! We met a friend that was out of town here. We had lots to catch up on. This location allows you to sit as long as you want. Our dinner started at 8:15 and we left at 1:40am. We ordered 4 dishes - each came with a soup and large bowl of rice. This was enough to feed 5 of us! read more
Another no non-sense type of Hong Kong Style Cafe, Silver Tower has been in operation for years, and it has always been a good place to go late at night with their long operation hours. Here for a quick Afternoon Tea: 1) Preserved Vegetable & Sliced Chicken in Vermicelli Soup $8.95 (3 stars) Very simple and straight forward noting fancy, just wanted some light soupy item to tie me over till dinner. 2) Singapore Fried Vermicelli $10.50 (3 starts) Good job for keeping the vermicelli still el dente and not greasy!! Flavour is on the spot for this item! Both items came with drinks of your choice, we ordered Iced Lemon Tea. Overall, a reliable Cafe for you to take a break during your busy day!! *Mini Set Menu available: 11:00am - 5:30pm / 9:00pm to close read more

This was the first Hong Kong Style Cafe I visited today during my time in Vancouver for my trip and it definitely set the standard really high! I came to the restaurant at 8:30 P.M. today and the ambience was pretty good. Also, the service was pretty good when I asked the staff a few questions about the food. It was not too loud when I came, but not too quiet either. The first thing that I ordered was the Borscht Soup which was very thin and had a strong tomato flavor. The next thing I ordered was the Corn Soup With Chicken which was very thick and had a strong corn flavor. Then, I ordered the Bak Choy which I enjoyed due to it being cooked well and seasoned with garlic. The garlic greatly enhanced the flavor of the Bak Choy. The fourth thing that I ordered was the Hong Kong Style Milk Tea which was hot, had good flavor, and was not too sweet. The fourth thing that I got was the Grilled Chicken with Spaghetti, Corn, Carrots, and Gravy. The gravy was able to make the spaghetti taste really good. Also, the gravy added a nice seasoning to the tenderness and juiciness of the grilled chicken. Furthermore, the corn and carrots had good flavor. Last, I ordered the Baked Pork Chop Rice with Fried Rice, Tomato Sauce, and Cheese. The fried rice had a good flavor that was enhanced by the cheese and tomato sauce. Also, the baked pork chop had a good texture, was very crispy, and was juicy when paired with the cheese and tomato sauce. Overall, this was a very good restaurant and I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to go to a good Hong Kong Style Cafe! read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday evening with a friend. Upon entry, there was access to hand sanitizer and a form to leave our contact info. The restaurant was fairly empty with only 3 tables. Strangely the server led us to a table directly next to a group of people. Thankfully Plexiglass surrounded our table. Menu items were decent. Most come with a drink. I ordered a Minute Steak with chicken wings with black pepper sauce & Spaghetti, While my friend ordered the Baked Spaghetti Bolognaise. The order came out in a decent time. Overcooked spaghetti dominated the plate. The steak was cooked decently but a bit small. Chicken wings were a nice golden brown. We both found black pepper sauce I found was wayyy too salty and spicy. My friend Spaghetti was better well done. Nice amount of cheese and meat. A bit too oily for my liking but he didn't mind. The service here is average. Some servers are better than others. It took a while after seating before someone took our order. In my option, if you're looking for HK Style food, there are much better options around this price range. However, if you're looking for something that has ok food and is open late this may be your answer. read more

Didn't have the best experience here as the servers were quite rude, felt as if they didn't want to serve us and kept forcing us to order more food. Gave it 3 stars because the food was actually good. The XO seafood udon was very yummy, a bit spicy and had good flavours. Loaded with a mix of seafood and the udon wasn't too soft, had a good bite to it. The lamb curry rice was my favourite, the lamb was so tender. Curry was not spicy but tasted pretty good, it came with potatoes, onions and other vegetables. Overall, good food but bad service. read more

Came in around 7-8ish and was seated right away. Got the 20A and 23B which came out fast. Pretty good food it came with soup my fave was their Hk milk tea. they accept cc (you pay at counter after done eating/getting bill) and looks like ample parking outside read more
One of my comfort food go to places....still consistent and reliable as ever. Although prices have gone up a bit...still good value for $. Ordered the house special baked porkchop in tomato sauce combo with iced milk tea and cream soup all for $12. Portion size is huge and filling. The pchop was crispy and not soggy. Sauce was just right sharpness contrasting well with the cheese. U know its freshly made and put together when ordered. Yes, they still used fried rice as the base. Perfect meal for a rainy day. I also orderd the baked ham with spaghetti and cream sauce...wife had the 2 item combo...big cutlet pchop and grilled chicken...even the skin was crispy. All served with soup.and ice lemon tea. I must admit..their baked.pchop is still the best in town. Cant wait to go back and revisit other dishes... Best part...we even had leftovers for take out. Happy eating! read more
I come here for the late night, cheap menu eats, and for Richmond, and all the options for Hong Kong style cafe's, this is one of the better ones, in terms of menu selection, and the most important part - taste. They have a wide selection of dishes, from baked rice/noodle dishes, fried rice, meat selection and sides, and the more traditional styles of chinese dishes. The one big plus, and this is for you late night vampires lurking past midnight, is that this place is open till 3 AM on the weekends. It was odd, after a night of playing Mah Jong, we came here at 1 AM and it still was not busy, and then 1:30 AM hit, and it was packed, from all the workers at the nearby "Summer Night Market". You can also "super-size" the drink that comes with the meal. Just remember, adding honey to your drink means your adding an additional 50 cents! The other thing you have to watch out for is parking, as there is not much in this plaza, as this plaza only has other restaurants, even the streets are packed due to the amount of restaurants congested in this part of town. The place itself is quite roomy, but also kinda odd, as it feels like it maybe should have been a cross of a Japanese restaurant, as all the wood they use in the place is in a black color, and due to the type of lighting they use, this place has this odd feel of bright and dark. read more
They have awesome Portuguese (white cream sauce) baked chicken here! I highly recommend it! I also highly recommend their turnip cake! I actually hate turnip cake in general but Silver Tower makes it really good! Their iced lemon tea is yummy too! I'll definitely come here again! read more

* Decent HK cafe * Perhaps outside of the Vancouver area this would be a 4 star. But Kam Do (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/kam-do-restaurant-and-bakery-richmond-2#hrid:QQbzRuPgzbeCSJUfrulNPQ) is just across the street, and much better for my taste. I started off with the cold HK style milk tea. Served in a plastic glass, the tea was not as strong as like (my guess is they poured hot tea over a lot of ice that melted) and way too sweet for my taste.

The rice itself was a bit too mushy and didn't have any veggies I could find. There was a little bit of egg in it. The pork chop itself was overcooked and the breading was too thick for my liking.

(It was the guy across the way at another table that did). Ok, I'm being a bit harsh perhaps - but it is in the heart of an area where they would simply have to do better to get my return business. read more
