4.5 Pros: Great Value Awesome vibe Great Staff

Cons: Not too many seats Decor very old school

MY Restaurant is one of the reasons I love Yelp so much. Without Yelp, I would of never known this place existed. This is my definition of a hidden gem. My restaurant ticks off all the things I want in a HK style cafe. As long as you don't mind the old school look, this is a place for all HK style cafe fans.

This place is tucked in a small plaza. There would be no way you would know about this place without something like Yelp. Walking in, there are a few seats, but the place is definitely on the small side. There are a couple of booths and a large table in the middle. The seating is definitely tight here. Good thing is turnover is really quick in a place like this so you won't have too wait too long for a table.

One of my biggest rants with Chinese businesses is if they lack English on the menu. I'm a firm believer that you should have English menus available no matter what type language is predominantly spoken. My restaurant has English for every single item they sell here. Even the daily specials have English written as well. Prices here are very good for a HK style cafe. You can expect to see prices $1-2 cheaper than others places.

We had a baked pasta, bbq pork and duck on rice and a side order of wings and fries. The portions here are very generous for what you pay. Taste wise, the food is on par if not a little better with what you expect for a HK style cafe. It's a quintessential HK style cafe, decent food at a great price.

Like I mentioned before, this place is old school. The decor is out of date, some things are held together by duck tape, etc. It's a no frills approach to eateries. If you're used to this kind of thing, it won't bother you at all. Come in with realistic expectations, you will be fine. This is a place that's favoured by the locals. Everyone who came in was a regular. The staff here knew them all and what they wanted. It's got a real homey diner type vibe. We were knew but the staff were very friendly and helpful. They made our kids feel real welcome as well.

Overall, I loved this place. It will defeinitely be on my regular rotation eating out. Our bill came out to $29 taxes in. That was for 2 entrees with soup and drink and a side order of wings and fries. You can't beat...

We have been visiting this restaurant since 2016 and it was our favourite take out place. However, as with all the other recent reviews have mentioned, there has been a ownership change. And this has led to huge disappointment to the flavour and the quality of the dishes being served. For instance, we ordered our favourite Hakka chili chicken and the deep fried garlic pork chop. There was quite a lot to be desired for these 2 dishes that we have ordered many times over the years. The chili chicken was over cooked and it was so dry that chewing through it, was just impossible. The garlic pork chop was also not cooked to what we are used to. The garlic was burnt to the point that it tasted bitter, and the pieces of pork chops served was full of fat and bones. It looked like they went out of their way to carve out the extra meat and to serve their customers just bones and fatty pieces. The fact is that if my 9 year old child can discern the change of flavour or should I mention the lack of it, it just goes to show how our recent entire take out experience has been a huge let down. Even though, their prices are cheaper than all the other Chinese take outs in the area, we will not be a...

I tried the Sweet and Sour Chicken last night. It was delicious!

I think it is new owners.

I will try some other dishes.

2 Days later I ordered the s&s ch again and added young chow fried rice and Cantonese chow mein. All 3 dishes were delicious. The Cant CM was a tad bland but noodles were good. I really dislike cant noodle that is too wet.

SS CH VERY good again and young chow also very...
