Marathon Cafe Richmond Hill — Restaurant in Richmond Hill

My favorite cha chaan tang hands down. The ladies that work there are always so nice, compared to North York prices, their dishes are a steal. For 9-13$ you can get a full meal with their award winning tea. We sometimes go just for their tea. Their iced HK milk tea on a hot summer's day is the best... Better than any bubble tea and cheaper too. Mu friend's had their pineapple bun and said it's the best she's had in awhile. I love their HK style chicken wings. I live Korean fried chicken and Popeyes, but sometimes, Marathon's HK chicken wing is the one that hits the fried chicken spot. My LO loves their triple cheese spaghetti Bolognese. Literally, the only leftover lunch she will finish. She's also a big fan of their Ovaltine. Their stir fried flat noodles with beef is really good, great wok breath. Their pork chop is done perfectly. The only dish I was meh about was their curry. Overall, fantastic place to eat at for a quick weeknight dinner or for takeout. Been there for Saturday lunch time, the place is slammed. If I'm going for a weekend meal, I prefer takeout. Highly recommend, go there on...

Food is always tasty and good selections for your taste buds. Their ordering system is non-traditional, it’s a hybrid service dine-in process. You walk in and you can go straight to the ordering line, pick what you like and pay. Take the order # and now you can look for a table to sit down & await your food. Listen for your drinks bring ready faster than your food and they expect you will walk back to the counter to get your drinks first. Finally when your food are ready, the server will walk around and call your order #, wave if you hear your # and they will bring those items to your table.

I order my favourite “big eater meal”, the meal comes with satay beef ramen, Hong Kong style egg sandwich and a large milk tea. I forgot to ask for the sandwich to be toasted but it still tasted ok as I was super hungry. I do recommend having the egg sandwich before the ramen as the ramen can be overpowering in taste. Moving onto the ramen, I like their satay beef balancing with the ramen, decent size for the price. milk tea a little more watery than I remember but overall still a good meal on...

Possibly the best HK style tea cafe in all of GTA. Consistent quality and offers both classic and innovative menu options.

Got the Satay Beef Noodle Combo this morning. The noodles and soup were still piping hot by the time I got to work, seasoned just right and goes down easy.

Egg sandwich in the combo probably got soggy from all the steam in the bag on the way. Pretty moist and lightly toasted, could use some salt and pepper but that's just personal preference.

Then comes the drink, I chose for iced Yun Yeung. Very smooth due to being finely skimmed, there is no debris or sugar grains at all. I would recommend going light on the sugar so you can enjoy the unique flavour of tea and coffee mix even better.

For about 13 bucks after tax it's more than worth it, especially with how expensive things are getting.

Marathon doesn't try to be anything it's not. It's just a consistent all-around good joint for almost...
