    We were craving authentic Hong Kong comfort food. We found Angel Cafe hit the spot! We indulged in the Shrimp with Stir Egg Sauce over Rice Noodles and the Spicy Pork with Eggplant over Yi Mein. Each dish comes with your choice of soup (Russian Borscht, Chinese, or Cream) and a hot beverage (cold options available for an extra cost). So satisfying and generous portions meant leftovers. It was a bit busy when we arrived about 7:30pm on a Friday. We were quickly seated to last available booth. Their menu is extensive to the point I did not know what to order. My go to is Shrimp with Stir Egg Sauce and it was done really well. The decor seems a bit outdated and need of some renovation but it was clean. It's a dying breed for simple and good HK cafe in Vancouver.

    Some classic Hong Kong cafe food is something I haven't had in the longest time. Angel cafe is an old favourite and it was nice to be back after years! The borsht soup came with our meal and it was on the tart side but that's what I love about the soup so no complaints from me. We also ordered the baked chicken with meat sauce spaghetti which came in a portion large enough for the both of us! Last but not least we got a bowl of century egg and fish congee. This was also a large portion and we had enough to take home for the next day! Service was okay and staff was friendly but it was busy so it took a while for us to get their attention to fill up water or get the bill.

    Definitely a dying breed in Vancouver, if you want to know what I consider an HK cafe when I grew up look no further and just come here, this place has all the aesthetics of yesteryear, I really do not think this place has ever had any significant renovation, and it really doesn't need to as it is a staple of this area. I come here for either the breakfast of mid-day special, but there will be something here you will like. I found the service very attentive, the food taste is what you would expect from an older establishment, nothing over the top, but something very familiar. The last time I was here a friend and I sat around for breakfast on a weekday and it was pretty much full, and you can tell that this was a go-to for people who come here often, from the 'hello's' being handed off by the regular's to people being all comfortable reading their morning paper the good part is this restaurant is on a corner where a lot of natural lighting comes in. Their HK hot milk tea, from the taste, is pulled pretty good, along with their normal servings of satay beef macoroni, congee with rice rolls, noodle dishes, rice dishes, mixed western influenced food, sandwiches, there is a good assortment. If you are in the area, and you want to walk down memory lane, come here.

    Solid meal for a great price! Visited around 2pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy but had a steady inflow of customers. Got a French Toast ($8.50) and Baked Seafood Rice ($14) and both came with a drink! The Baked Seafood Rice was loaded with shrimp, fish and a mussel - it was also saucy and super flavourful! The French toast was great as well and always hit the right spot! Loved how the AC in there really cooled us off on a hot afternoon. The food came quick and service prompt!

    HK style cafe in the Fraser 41st area. Parking is plentiful in the nice public lot W of Fraser. The interior is a bit worn and beaten up. This place has been here for a while. Staff were decently friendly. No complaints. The food is standard HK fare. Food isn't the cheapest. Some of the fried noodle and rice dishes are the best deal. The cow tongue was tasty. Looks like they slightly grill the slices.

    Really good beef brisket curry - massive portion even tho it doesn't look like it
    Gabriel C.

    Angel Cafe isn't the cleanest restaurant in the area but it serves tasty food in enormous portions at a reasonable price. The HK-Malaysian beef brisket curry was actually one of the best I've ever had and the portion size was so massive that I could only finish about two thirds of my meal. My friends ordered a noodle soup and two hot stone bowl dishes, and they all had to pack half of their meals to go. Most of the dishes were between $11-$14 which we thought was quite reasonable. We didn't try any of the cakes or buns since I had heard they weren't great.

    My mom had a doctor appointment that ended just before noon, so we needed to find a place to have lunch. We tried a couple of restaurants that we had gone to before but they were both closed. I decided to try Fraser Street thinking it would be easier to find an open restaurant there. The first one we saw was Angel Cafe. It was open for dine in and there were a few empty tables so we went for it. After we sat down, two more parties came in and all the tables were occupied. The tables were not too close, but unlike precautions taken by other restaurants, there were no barriers separating the tables and customers were seated at every table. We ordered Hainan chicken and curry beef brisket. The taste of both dishes were quite good, my mom especially like the curry. But we felt it would be much better if the portions were bigger.

    Shrimp, silky eggs hor fun. Yums!!

    Have of course been coming here regularly even during the past few months of pandemic Covid restrictions; today, we came for the air conditioning - yup, needed shelter from this heat dome! As usual, food was great, the complimentary iced drinks very welcome and service was FAST!! In fact, their waitstaff is always exceptional - practically non-stop running with the huge platters, interspersed with them taking phone orders and handing them out when the patron comes to collect (and as many times as I've been here, I've never heard anybody complaining about wrong orders etc) and all done with a pleasant demeanour and smiles. Please tip your wait staff well when you make it out here!! IMHO, they're just about the best wait staff I've had the pleasure of being served by! And the food remains consistently great - to the point that we eat here at least weekly if not twice/thrice in a week. And for not much more than if we cooked at home! And did I mention the "wok mei" - that special flavour good Chinese food is imbued with when a great Chef use very high heat/fire to the point that the wok catches on fire. Impossible to duplicate cooking at home unless you've got good gas range AND no fear of catching your house on fire!! Hmmmm... I guess I AM enamoured by Angel cafe! LOL!!

    Breakfast Menu November 2019
    C. H.

    A solid HK style cafe option with different specials depending on time of day. We stopped by just before their breakfast menu cutoff. I ordered an A + B combo with a mushroom and ham omelette and a dish of pan fried rice rolls ($10.25). I upgraded the drink to an iced lemon tea ($0.50). Food arrived in reasonable time. Portion size was good. Food was tasty. Rice rolls had a side of hoisin dipping sauce. Omelette was Asian style - basically a fried egg with mushroom and ham slices folded into the egg. Toast was buttered. Iced lemon tea tasted as expected with a strong tea and lemon flavour. Ambiance is a bit dated and casual. Restrooms were clean. Lastly, this restaurant is cash only. There is metered street parking on Fraser Street at $1 per hour.

    HK BBQ is tucked in the parking lot for the Real Canadian Superstore and the store is pretty small…read morewith around 20 seats, but they have a to-go window as well. No wait to be seated on a weekday at 11AM. Decently close to the trolley station as well so it's walkable if you're rolling on public transit. Here's the thing, you can have a 3 star or 5 star experience depending on your order. The roast goose was pretty mid, too chewy and a bit gamey. The roast pork skin was so crunchy that it was almost hard to eat and the meat itself was also slightly tough. However, the char siu and soy sauce chicken here are life changingly good. Char siu is so fatty that it pretty much melts in your mouth and the outside is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The soy sauce chicken is just incredible. The scallion oil is the perfect bright complement to the uber tender, almost slippery chicken. Genuinely didn't think soy sauce chicken could be the best item at a Chinese bbq place, but HK BBQ showed me how it's done.

    Came here to get some delicious bbq and this place was amazing. We ordered the mixed half fatty…read morehalf lean BBQ pork which just melted in your mouth but was not too fatty. The soy sauce chicken was perfectly cooked and moist and flavorful. We also ordered the duck and roast pork and we couldn't decide what to eat more of. We came with a party of 9 and all six dishes and bones were licked clean. Staff is great at getting orders, refilling drinks, and turning the tables so people aren't waiting long. Plus the food is ready to go. Will definitely come back here again. Remember cash only. We only had US dollars and they accommodated us.

    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.

    3.5 STARS I'm not…read moreentirely wowed by the rice rolls. I got the R1 which has a little beef, pork & shrimp. Yes the rice rolls where fresh and silky smooth like some bottoms but is it any better than what you get at a dim sum restaurant. I'm just not completely sold. Don't go on weekends because it's 30 minutes wait for your order to be made and definitely not worth the wait. They need to make their operation more efficient for me to try again.
