We finally made time to stop by Wow Cafe! Don't blink or you'll miss this place. There's not a solid parking lot for this building but you can park behind the plaza next to it where Coco is located and walk to the front. Very happy to have a Hong Kong style Cha Chan Tang restaurant right here in Edison, NJ. While there are a few places in NYC, its nice to see Jersey finally get one too. The stars if today were the appetizer dishes. The rice noodles with the special peanut sauce was 100% the best and exactly what you'd expect when you order that dish. The squid and popcorn chicken were both amazing and fried lightly but with a great crispy texture. The small pineapple bun with butter was delicious. We actually had it as a starter and again for dessert. While we loved the apps, the baked rice with pork chop and pepper steak rice bowls were just ok. They weren't amazingly flavorful, but they were still tasty with heavy portions so the value was there. We had HK style milk tea and topped off our meal with their special creamy french toast. Overall we left overly full and didn't have to pay too much. Wow Cafe is very affordable and the staff is very friendly and fast to cater to your needs. It may not look like much on the outside, but the food definitely brings me back and hits the spot!
Yummy, Hong Kong feels in full display.. the food is great and staff is friendly.. the decoration is like the Hong Kong MTR station.. if u know u know type of deal... routine visit for me.. I love to bring new friends there
Got the Milky Toast, baked rice with pork chop tomato sauce, and popcorn chicken. The toast was yummy and sweet, I enjoyed the cream. The baked rice was good, didn't quite taste like authentic hk style but still alright! The popcorn chicken was my favorite, had a great taste and texture. Nice staff and cute interior, plenty of seating. Parking outside is small but the staff said you can park at the small lot right next door too!
Saw a few videos of this place online and decided to stop in and try it out. The parking lot in the front of the restaurant is very small, but there is a parking lot behind the buildings where you can park and just walk over. The inside is pretty spacious for a small building and it was not crowded at all. We ordered a few of the appetizers which were all amazing. I actually ended up ordering 2 of the small pineapple butter buns. It was so delicious. Id 100% recommend the rice noodle rolls with special sauce. The calamari was also great! For dessert we ordered milky cream french toast. It was not too sweet. Service was pretty quick and I would definitely stop by again if Im craving the rice rolls or a fresh pineapple bun with butter
The moment you enter, it feels like entering someone's house with a random arcade and a few sitting booths. You can order the food with a QR code in which it directly goes into the kitchen. For the food itself, I loved the peanut sauce noodles and the potato casserole. I wasn't too bit of a fan of the milk bread dessert but it sure is worth a picture for its design! Overall, I liked most of the dishes and would love to come back to try more!
Torn between a 3 or 4, I gave it a 4 for the appetizers that I got and liked. I didn't get a chance to try the main menu since we weren't that hungry. We got a small pineapple butter bun ($1.99), Rice noodles roll ($5.99), and crispy popcorn chicken ($8.99). They were freshly made and hot when I got it, and I didn't have to wait too long to get it. You can't mess up the rice noodles and popcorn chicken, and they didn't. The rice noodles were chewy and flavorful thanks to the sauce. The popcorn chicken was crispy and good flavors as well. The small pineapple butter bun for $1.99 was not worth it for the price. Small and nothing special. The drink I got was just okay... it didn't feel like it had much flavors. Parking was uh questionable since I'm not from the area. It looked like there was some parking in the front but very limited. We end up circling around and found they had parking in the back lot. The inside of the restaurant was well decorated. It had walls with names of some cities in Hong Kong like Central and Mongkok. I found it cute and reminded me of Hong Kong just a little.
Returning back because my friend picked it so I gave other dishes a tried. I still think the rice noodle (cheung fun) is probably the best dish there because of the sauce. I tried their tomato beef with instant noodle, which came out a bit bland and not enough tomato taste, flavorless. Definitely could be better. Not Hong Kong style enough. I also ordered baked chicken fried rice with black pepper sauce. All I taste was the spicy kick but nothing else. It just seems like it's missing something. Definitely not authentic Hong King style. Their service is still good though. And the area is pretty clean.
It's a cute little restaurant when you come in, decorated in a Hong Kong style. It is a very delicious dish that is so mouthwatering with vegetables. Very filling as well with a lot of portions. The service is wonderful and very attentive to the customer.
My dream come true - a HK style cafe right in our area. First - HK style hot milk tea. Nice and strong, great flavor. The tea is 5 stars. Pork chop with curry flavor on spaghetti was also very good. The brisket spicy style was too spicy and the sauce was more like soup- if the sauce was more reduced it would go better on the rice. Will be back for more tea and to try some of the street food dishes!
Wow this place is amazing! Good to have authentic hk food in NJ! Everything was so good and had that homemade feel.
While my partner and I were coming back from the Catskills, we decided to stop by this Hong Kong style café. This is my partner's first time trying Hong Kong food, and he was absolutely floored. We ordered the curried fish balls, beef casserole, and peanut butter rice rolls. He loves the fish balls a lot. I loved the rice rolls very much. The rice rolls had a wonderful combination of indulgent and sweet with a slippery texture that delighted to senses. Service was efficient and helpful. The restaurant itself felt clean, and the Hong Kong train station decor was cute. I really like this, and I'm so happy I got to share this experience with my partner.
Atmosphere: 4 The restaurant is unassuming outside, but actually quite large and spacious inside. The decor inside is a bit lacking and I wasn't sure what they're trying to go for. when we got inside, we were quite confused about what to do until someone came to greet us. There was a huge sign saying how to order for take out, but we wanted to dine in. If it weren't for another party already seated inside, we would've thought they weren't open for dine in. Once seated, the table has a little table sign with a QR code to order. It was cool that it automatically recognized our table. They provided a paper menu for my mom. We were able to either order from the phone or with the waiter. However, we noticed that there were inconsistencies between the paper menu and the digital one. Portion: 5 The portions are on the larger side. We ordered a couple of appetizers and two main dishes. That was more than enough for the 3 of us to share. The toast at the end is a lot bigger than I thought. For the price, I think it was a pretty good deal. Flavors: 5 Look no further if you want some authentic Hong Kong diner flavors! Happy to see a HK diner open up in town and even happier that it scratches the HK diner itch. There's a variety of things to choose from. Very happy that they offer HK style milk tea and it tastes exactly as it does in HK. Overall, I'd go there again to try other things on their menu! I think they probably could improve on their vibe inside the restaurant and fix their menu. They have plenty of space so there is capacity to have more customers. No worries about bringing a bigger party.
Excited to find this cute little Cafe in Edison very close to hmart. It can be easily missed as it is sits in between 2 buildings. Staff are very friendly and the food is served very fast. Definitely HK style service! Highly recommend the baked pork chop over rice. Pork chop is tender and went so well with rice and tomato sauce. The rice roll is also good, except it is listed on the menu as pork rice roll, but I didn't taste or see any pork in it at all. The pineapple bun was quite small, definitely much smaller than the bun you buy from a regular chinese bakery. It comes with a thick slab of butter in the middle which actually ended up making the bun taste quite creamy. A bit too much butter for my liking but I know it's the rage in HK. The mango pomelo tea was excellent, not too sweet. The HK milk tea was creamy and delicious. Overall, great cafe with tasty food. I will definitely be going back for the baked pork chop!
My brother and I were recommended to come here by my niece and friends. The staff: They do not greet you when you come into the restaurant and you basically just seat yourself. You order the food by scanning the bar code and ordering on your phone. Ambience: This is a quiet restaurant with no music and can hear other people talking since the area is close together. Curry Fish Balls: This was so-so and could have tasted a little better. Rice noodle with peanut sauce: This was delicious and I would definitely get this again. Baked fried rice with curry and beef: My brother said this was delicious and the curry tasted better than the curry fish ball. Baked pasta with chicken: This was delicious as well and had just the right amount of taste. Hong Kong Milk Tea: This does not come with sugar even when you order it with sugar. You have to put your own sugar. Overall: We would definitely come back here again to try the other menu items that they have. read more

Classic Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng in Edison! Milky Toast (5/5): Absolutely delicious. Very creamy without being overly sweet, and the toast was perfectly crispy just the way I like it Milk Tea (4/5): A classic HK-style milk tea, rich, smooth, and spot on. You can't go wrong. Beef Stew Ho Fun (4.25/5): Very enjoyable. The beef stew was super tender and the ho fun noodles had a great texture, though the broth could have used a touch more depth and flavor Baked Pork Chop over Fried Rice in Tomato Sauce (3/5): The sauce had great flavor, but adding peppers and red onions felt a bit unusual. You don't typically see those in traditional baked pork chop dishes, and they didn't quite go well imo Overall, a solid spot for a HK cafe read more
Classic HK style cafe with a good selection of dishes and desserts. Service was solid all around as we were the only customers in the shop given we came for an early dinner and it was a nice time. Ambiance was cute - felt very cozy and the decor was eclectic. We got the toast to share which was a good size and super tasty. I loved the designs as well, a nice touch. I loved my eggplant dish - well made and tasty. I would totally get it again! read more

New HK cafe in Edison! I don't know of any other HK cafes in the area, so this is a nice addition. First of all, the food was quite tasty. I ordered a baked chicken curry dish, which was really flavorful. I also tried one of the fried rice dishes which I really enjoyed. Generous portion, especially given the price. I finished my plate and was really full after... could have easily kept some leftovers. Parking lot is in the back, shared with Coco cafe. The HK milk tea did look expensive. Its a basic drink, so $6 seems kinda high imo. Another complaint is that food took a really long time to come out. Since they are new, I won't reflect that in my rating, but if it is like this later I may have a tough time coming back. read more
TLDR: authentic tasty food There aren't many Hong Kong style cafes in the area. Wow cafe represents them well. These iconic dishes are both comforting and satisfying. The translations can be a bit confusing if you're unfamiliar with the food, but most of the food options are delicious. Ask the waitress any questions you have and she will gladly help you out. I will definitely be regularly coming by this restaurant. The value is pretty good too read more

This was my first time visiting, and let me tell you...it did not disappoint! Getting there was easy, and I loved that they had two handicap parking spots right in front, plus additional parking in the back. Super convenient! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and promptly escorted to my seat. The ordering process was modern and seamless.I just scanned a QR code, placed my order, and paid right from my phone. So simple and efficient! Then came a pleasant surprise: the host brought me a pitcher of Citrus Bliss Infused Water without me even asking. It was refreshing, exactly what I needed, and yes, I shamelessly drank the whole pitcher myself! Now, let's talk about the food!because WOW. I started with a pineapple bun with butter, and it was everything I hoped for;fluffy, buttery, and just the right amount of sweetness. Then came the main event: scrambled eggs and beef rice with tomato sauce. One bite, and I was in flavor heaven. The balance of flavors was perfect, and every bite was packed with deliciousness. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was just as impressive. The design of the place is fun and inviting, making it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy a great meal. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and if you haven't been here yet...do yourself a favor and go! Highly recommend! read more

First time trying out this place after seeing all the great reviews. Upon arriving, we weren't sure if we should go in since it was empty for a Friday night. We decided to give it a try anyway... and oh boy, are we glad we did. We ordered baked chicken with black pepper sauce over rice (we saw another posted calling mushroom sauce and looked so good), beef brisket stew/casserole, Hong Long Milk Tea, fried chicken leg, and milky creamy HK toast. Everything we ordered were soooo good. What a nice surprise. What I appreciated the most was that when I asked our waitress if the baked pork chop dish with black pepper sauce is the mushroom sauce dish I saw from another poster, she explained that it is the same dish but it's not called mushroom sauce, but if I want, she can have extra mushrooms added. We said yes to extra mushrooms thinking they were going to nickel and dime us and charge extra. To our surprise, they didn't charge us extra for the extra mushrooms, and it really made the dish much better than if it just had a couple pieces of mushrooms. We will definitely be back to try more stuff on the menu. Hope they get busier and stick around. read more

We ordered this spicy beef brisket pot at the WoW Cafe in Edison New Jersey. Very delicious! Highly recommended! read more
Hong Kong Cafes also known as Cha Chan Tang, translated as "tea restaurants", which are British-influenced affordable eateries serving up western style dishes. Imagine my excitement when I saw one open up in my area. Some of the best ones I have visited were in H.K. where I was born. Menu: - Scan the barcode for the menu. I had a good laugh as there were a handful of misspelled words. Someone didn't do a spell check. Drinks: - we had the H.K. Milk Tea, delicious and perfectly made. Make sure to give it a swirl before that first sip. Their ice cubes are made of tea. Items worth trying: - Butter Pineapple Bun (upon first bite, my son and I thought it was only okay until that amazing butter melted and hit the back of our palate. It's a special kind of butter that I never tasted before) - HK Style Curry Fish Balls (my son enjoyed it) - Cocoa Milky Cream French Toast (filled with evaporated milk, need I say more) - Pork Rice Noodles Roll (love the hoisin and peanut sauce but it did not have any pork in it. Eat it as fast as you can. It's best when it's hot) - Pork Chop w/mushrooms in Black Pepper Sauce topped with cheese over spaghetti Decor: - the seating configuration is a bit odd. They also dedicated an area with some claw machines and I think it's a wasted use of space. Service: - excellent and attentive. Parking: - horrible as there is none. Note: 10% off if you pay in cash. read more

Wonderful Casserole + Tasty milk tea, quiet environment and nice service. Can't believe that I've lived nearby for 7 years but first time found this place! read more
Tried this just opened Hong Kong styled cafe. Many items are not ready yet, except for rice and instant noodle dishes, a few appetizers, and milk teas. The rice rolls were good, pepper stake with rice was acceptable, but the spam and the sauce in the Cantonese style instant noodle were way too salty. For a small place, they also dedicated half of the space for company logo customized vending machines that dole out stuffed animals. Question that decision. Anyway, added an extra star to send them good vibe for trying. read more

I absolutely love everything about this restaurant! I'm so happy that Edison finally has a HK cafe. Everything I've tied so far is all very good. I was surprised that the ramen dishes didn't have soup in it, but, honestly, I don't hate it. The pineapple bun is a must get! The actual bun is a lot smaller than what you would normally see at the bakery, but the taste definitely makes up for the size. It's a must get! Service is fast, and their ordering and paying method makes the entire experience super easy. Will definitely be returning to try their other dishes. read more

What we need around here. HK style Cafe. The food that I tried was so good. The HK style milk tea is a must try. The ice lemon tea is very good as well. The creamy toast was delicious. But you need to eat there cause by the time you take that home it's no good. Not the same as you eat it there. Food came out fast and the place is clean. Stop by after school or work and pickup so food. Can't go wrong with anything on there menu. read more
