Baked pork chop rice $14
A Y.

TLDR - Old school HK cafe that offers a big selection. Food 3 stars, value/portion +1 star, diner friendliness +0.5 star. Total 4.5 stars. It is rare to find an Asian diner that offers a level of friendliness and chit chatting that completely compensates the food. You know "as seen on TV" or "as heard on radio show". Sugar Sweet gave me that on my first visit during afternoon-tea-special time. For that alone it worths a repeat visit. We arrived for dinner a few weeks later. I ordered my "test dish" for HK cafes that offered baked dishes. The Pork Chop Baked Rice was very good: very big portion for the price, bold and creamy sauce, lot of cheese, large piece of pork chops, seasoned rice. The cook went through the trouble of making seasoned rice for the baked dishes. So many rivalry HK cafes just use white rice. The chef took his baked dishes so seriously that they were a level better than many competitors, if you could look pass the rundown venue. HK cafes are in truth layman diners. Flavourful food, good portion, good value and friendliness is the magic formula, expensive ingredients uncalled for. Sugar Sweet Cafe gets the formula right.

A dead fly found in our beef brisket noodle
Jason D.

I actually like this place, the food is decent, the price is right. But the place is too dirty. There have been times when the ceiling would leak water onto customers, and then there are always flies flying around. We can forgive all of that, but when you find a dead fly in your food, it's too much...that problem is compounded by the staff that try to argue with you about food hygiene. Literally had to show them the fly and took a picture before they could take it away as evidence of this. The way they manage this after the fact is poor, having to argue with staff and then having them fix the bill. Not like we're expecting a comp like in other restaurants, that is not how a chinese place runs, but at least acknowledge the issue, no apologies or anything was given. Had to fight to get the item removed from our bill after that experience.

Sizzling Hot Plate Sirloin Steak with Garlic Sauce and Fries  Sizzling Hot Plate Ox Tongue with Black Pepper Sauce and Fries
Ivy L.

It was edible. The food. I personally ordered a J7 (Sizzling Hot Plate Sirloin Steak) with garlic sauce (+$0.50) at a medium rare; in HK cafe's you usually say a number in rarity/degree of doneness so in this case I asked for 4 out of 10 for Med Rare. It came well done (so a 10), completely cooked which may be attributed to the fact that at this cafe they add the hot sizzling sauce IN the kitchen rather than doing it table side as most establishments have chosen. The service is quick and efficient and the ambiance is a quiet cozy cafe unless it's packed then the loudness is to be expected with many patrons.

Singapore noodles

Singapore Noodles are my main go-to here! Very affordable prices and quick service! Also a great place to grab a quick breakfast.

Smoke salmon on cream sauce

Came in at prime dinner hour on Friday night. Restaurant is full but the wait is not long, however the noise level is loud! Looking at the volume of customers, you'll think it's a very tasty place to eat. The noise from a pack restaurant I can with stand, been to noisier restaurant. However what is less tolerable is the quality of food... This used to be an OK HK restaurant before COVID, today the food has gone down hill. The portion of Carb (rice/noodle) is still big, but the meat has been scaled back. And the choice of cut (or grade of meat) is not good. But Pork chop and chicken cutlets we've ordered is tough and dry, I don't think it's a case of a bad chief. Should really be a 2.5 star rating, but they do include a milk pudding with mango puree along with their meal. So I rounded it up to 3 star

They used to be good a great place to eat but now they are legit penny pinching on everything. I understand if I do a take out order they charge me for the container... that I get it ... But when I'm dining in and ordering cutlet pork chop with rice... they are charging me to put the sauce on the side... not asking for EXTRA SAUCE... But sauce on the side... they wanna charge me 50 cents. This place is going downhill like you wouldn't believe... no wonder there are no cars and the place is extremely empty. I've been a loyal customer for years at this establishment and today is the last day.

Iced Milk Tea
Nathan A.

Haven't been here in a long time, but glad to see the food is still the same. Like any good HK cafe, the service will be iffy and sarcastic, but people will come back anyway. Ordered the Baked Pork Chop Rice. Can't go wrong with this classic. Nicely baked, with some melted cheese on top. The pock chop is tasty, but maybe a little fatty. There's a good amount of the tomato sauce and a decent fried rice underneath. Milk tea here is not bad either.

Signature baked pork chop with rice
Timmy N.

Bang for the buck! The signature baked pork chop with rice is a must order. I've been here a couple of times and this never disappoints. The portion is huge and there is plenty of pork chop pieces already cut for you, not to mention lots of cheese top top, too. This can actually be shared among 2-3 ppl if you order one more rice/noodles to enjoy together. Also, this is on the menu where it includes a soup and drink! Highly recommended!

Pork chop with tomato and cheese ! Egg fried rice is underneath!
Gracie T.

Bought two dinner combo- baked pork chop with tomato and cheese , underneath is egg fried rice ., pork chop was tender and thick cut, come with a choice of drink or soup ! Another combo is Hainan Chicken rice- chicken was tender and moist, different kind of rice texture compared with the pork chop rice . Also comes with choice of soup or drink They both are fair potion , particularly for $8.99+tax ! Definitely worth it to go back and try different dish !

Lunch menu as of 08/22 (1/2)
Melissa P.

Would be 4 stars at least if we didn't find a fly/bug if the fried rice. Great value for lunch special which includes a main, soup, and a drink. They replaced the fried rice with a dish of equal value without a formal apology or discount. Will probably be back since my parents are fans of Hong Kong cafes and will say the bug was just extra protein, but I feel a bit more sour about it. My go to drink is hot hk style milk tea and the soup is the Russian borscht!

Seafood Paella
Alex C.

Sugar sweet is a standard HK style cafe with an extensive menu that cycles for each day of the week. I tried their spicy Spanish Seafood rice which was a-ok but I think they should leave out the spicy and Spanish description. This dish was definitely not spicy at all and the only aspect of this rice bring Spanish was a lone olive segment otherwise it would have been great as a baked tomato sauce seafood rice and I would be definitely more satisfied. The meal is accompanied with your choice of Chinese soup and a hot drink (hot coffee/ tea no extra charge). The soup was a little on the small side and the tea was a on the weaker spectrum. In a pinch this cafe is good to go but not to impress any relatives/ friends from HK craving that authentic taste

Interior 1/1
The Yum Report ..

With a name like Sugar Sweet Cafe, you would think they serve pastries and cakes. But they are actually a "cha chaan teng" located at Milliken Mall. With a huge menu to choose from and relatively cheap prices, you can eat here for any meals of the day. The baked pork chop was tender and it came with a drink, soup and dessert for only $8.99. The sizzling plate included a beef steak, chicken steak, pork steak, sausage, chicken wing and a side of rice/pasta. Like most cha chaan teng, come for the food and not for the service/environment and you won't be disappointed. Sizzling Plate Assortment Steak ($17.99) Baked Pork Chop w/ Tomato Sauce ($8.99) Hot Milk Tea (w/ meal) Sugar Sweet Cafe Price Range: $3.75 - $22.99 IG: #The_Yum_Report

Fish fillet soup noodle

Pros: Great portions Food prepared well Cons: Non booth seats are tight Been to Sugar Sweet Cafe in the past but keep forgetting to review this place. Sugar Sweet is another quintessential HK style cafe. The food is good, the prices are fair and the portions are great. Located in a small plaza with an independent gas station, it's unassuming and pretty well known among the locals of the area. This place is super busy during peak times. Expect to wait a little if you come in at that time. Sugar Sweet fits as many tables and booths as it possibly can into its location. The booths are fine space wise. If your sitting at the tables though, expect to be crammed a little bit. The aisles are also a tight fit and with the servers flying all over the place, it can get pretty crazy. Sugar Sweet has a pretty extensive menu to pick from. They have everything you would expect at a HK style cafe. They have multiple specials throughout the day that come with an entree, soup and a drink. These specials are priced very well if you ask me. There are multiple specials to choose from under $10. As you can see from my pictures, we got 3 entrees during our visit. My pork entree with Portuguese sauce on rice was great. The sauce was done really well. When it comes to HK style cafes, you can't tell a curry from a Portuguese sauce. It almost looks the same. The Portuguese sauce should be much lighter in colour from a curry. This place got it right and it was down right tasty. My wife's baked spaghetti was also done very well. Presentation was excellent as well. The portion sizes here are great for what you pay. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. There was another patron sitting at a table beside me who got a rice dish. His dish was enormous. You get good value here. Also, I notice the cups they use for their cold drinks here are larger than usual. You win everywhere here. Sugar Sweet has always been one of my favourite spots in the city. Surprised it's taken me this long to review it. It could use a bit more space but other than that, it's an awesome spot for your HK style cafe needs!

We came here for their promotion $25 for 2 people. Recently, we saw some reels recommended that…read morethis restaurant offers a great deal, and the deal only offers from Monday to Thursday, and Wednesday is closed. Today was Tuesday, so we were good to go. The promo was $25 including 1 bowl of noodle, 1 bowl of clay pot rice with meat and 1 of snack dishes. We could choose them from the special menu. We chose the beef noodle soup, chicken & mushroom clay pot with soup, and the snack was the deep fried wonton. The wonton was great, so delicious and my little one loved it so much; the beef noodle soup was ok, but only a few pieces of beef and radish; the clay pot was the most I like, when I put the soy sauce in, the pot was boiling. That's so nice. That also caused the crackers at the bottom. That's really amazing. We also got a little bowl of the seaweed soup for the clay pot. So nice. This special deal was so good that enough for all of us. Next time, I would like to try other options.

The Lanzhou noodles had a great chewy texture and tasted super fresh. The claypot rice was warm, savory, and had that nice crispy bottom layer which made it extra satisfying. Portions are generous and the flavors feel very authentic and comforting -- like a home-cooked meal. It's a great budget-friendly option in Markham, especially if you're dining with a friend or partner. Definitely a hidden gem for cheap eats. Would recommend if you're craving noodles and claypot rice without spending too much!

It had a good amount of fish, silky tofu and vegetables. I also love their rice noodle! My partner got the hot and sour (two spice level) and I don't know what happened.... It tasted so bad. Would thought it would be a spicier version of mine but his soup lacked fish flavour, sourness, spiciness - it was so bland. I would definitely be back and re-order what I got today. I also tried the original fish soup noodle and that one was good too. I would avoid the hot and sour (two spice level) at all cost...

Bomb noodles. We will be back…read more My fiancée and I love spicy food. We also love noodles. So guess what we got at Noodle Legend - the Feast Seafood Noodles Topped with Spicy Oil! The dish comes with a thick flat super chewy ribbon noodle. It doesn't look like a big portion, but the noodles never seem to end! We particularly loved the aromatic garlicy spicy oil, which was full of umami and slightly sweet. It coated the noodles perfectly without making it seem like a noodle soup. The spice doesn't hit you at first, but sure enough it comes back with a vengeance. Be cautious if you decide to up the spice levels! It comes with quite a bit of seafood - scallops, baby abalone and crawfish tails. We've never really had crawfish tails in Chinese cuisine, so this was quite interesting. Make sure to suck on the tail before you de-shell to really get all the umami, and then dip the tail back into the spicy oil for a burst of flavour. Surprisingly, the chewy texture of the seafood complemented the noodles really well. Customer service here is impeccable. We saw nearby tables with phone holders, which we suspect you can request if you want to eat and watch your videos in peace. The staff also hand out individually packaged plastic bibs and gloves to avoid the oil from slashing onto your clothes and will top up your napkin supply without asking. The restaurant has a couple of tables but noticeably, some long benches that run throughout. We were sat in the middle, and were asked kindly by the Owner to move to the end of the table once a bigger party arrived. We had no issues with this, but the Owner decided to give us free pop and apologized for the inconvenience. So nice! Little surprise - there's a Beef Noodle Special after 8:30pm on Monday-Thursday. "Authentic hand pulled noodles in slow-simmered beef bone broth". Sounds like music to my ears - can't wait to come back and try this one out.

The broth was fragrant though not as spicy as I would have preferred. And The vegetables that came with the soup were crispy and fresh. Overall, I enjoyed my visit I will be back to try some of their dumplings and other soup options. Of course with the thick noodles:) I definitely recommend coming here as the service and the food was exceptional.
