    Free Borsht soup included with Baked Portuguese chicken. There was a cream soup as well.
    Brenda K.

    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.

    Chef changed. Food's a lot better now. And no extra charge for cold drinks. :) cash only!

    Half hainanese chicken -$23.50 (with rice+daily soup)
    Cally Y.

    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!

    baked pork chop rice
    Anisa W.

    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.

    Large portion of baked pork chop over rice
    Alicia A.

    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.

    Baked Portuguese chicken rice, baked pork chop rice, HK milk tea - IG @bougiefoodieboi

    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.

    Stir Fried Beef and Flat Noodles
    Vivien I.

    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.

    Baked pork chop on rice
    Lisa S.

    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).

    Mixed Mushrooms with Seasonal Vegetables ($16.95): fantastic with the included serving of rice!
    Jack W.

    === 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.

    Wow, this place is a GEM, I am so in love with the Rolls, I visited 2 days in a row, had to get…read moresome more rolls in before we leave BC, which was so sad! Hei Hei Rice Roll is legit good, totally recommend, even my daughter too, I thought of her ( since she LOVES rice roll and couldn't make it on this trip with me) while enjoying these roll but when I shared with her the photos and mention that we will go back here with her- she already visited. She said it was so good! Hei Hei Rice Roll is located at the Richmond Public Market, oh wow - this place is really popular, on the 2nd visit I was the first in line then the line wasn't so long but while waiting for our order, the line got super long. I was lucky I didn't wait long in line. Best to arrive early. I am not sure what the secret to the rice roll but Wow, it's so thin, silky, smooth texture with the toppings, so great together. The last 2 times we had rice roll with my daughter at Portland and Seattle- followed per Instagram reels- those did not even compare to these rolls. My first visit I got the combo which is the best deals, starts at $15.50 but depends on what you select for the selection for rice rolls and congee. I got the pork & preserved egg congee, shrimp, mushroom, pork rice roll. The 2nd visit I got the combo again, with liver & preserved egg congee, scallop and shrimp rice rolls, but I got my order wrong for the roll- they missed the shrimp. fyi-I found out that bean sprout, corn, toppings are free! Both combo came out to $17. super cheap! Cash only, they take USD but its the same dollar $ value. I wish they take credit cards, hehe. & the Verdict: Yummy, the congee hits the spot for comfort food, loved how it is cooked and they add peanuts too. Love the packet of sauce for the rice rolls, the umami-ness, so good. Best to eat it hot and fresh! Don't forget to ask for chili sauce, to add that extra spicy kick! For now, I am not sure I'll ever find a spot that is closest to Hei Hei for my congee and rice roll fix until I get to visit Richmond, BC again.

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.
