Inexpensive and delicious food in a big portion. Baked Porkchop ($8.50) on rice came with a drink, you can choose either milk tea or lemon iced tea. 50 cents extra for a cold drink. Anyways porkchop was tasty and filling. read more

With a plethora of Hongkong style cafes in Vancouver, Angel Cafe is one several HK style joints maybe worth trying ONLY if you're up for that Asian-Western comfort food. Expect the typical scene in a HK style cafe, buzzing crowd, long lines, booth-diner like seating, and minimal uninspiring service. Most of these HK style cafe's main draw is the very eclectic menu, with a hodgepodge of dishes, cheap prices at very large, err, HUGE portions. Expect mediocre to poor quality ingredients such as maybe canned sauces, packaged noodles, or frozen vegetables?.. this after all is part of the appeal I dare say. Most dishes and set meals come with free drink, soup, french fries, or dessert. Cheap eats at fair value. No trip to a HK style cafe is complete without a taste of the staple Baked Pork Chop on rice. Breaded pork cutlets atop fried eggs and rice, over a glob of rich thick tomato sauce and gooey cheese. Strange and nasty looking as seen on most tables, a heart attack in the making.. comfort food for many. Angel's version was decent, so are the chicken steak and fries on gravy. Generally, food was forgettable, albeit you go to these cafes for the vast selections they offer, appealing price, and have I mentioned, large portions? A quick dine and dash. Not bad for late night or early morning eats. read more

Husband and I went to Ikea Richmond and didn't want to go to central Richmond, so decided to give this HK style cafe a try. We are comparing this restaurant's breakfast to other HK cafes in GVRD. Ambiance: minimal. Typical HK cafe look. Decor: 13 booth tables that can sits 4 comfortably. About 12 couple tables in the middle and spread throughout the premise. Kitchen service: ordered our western style breakfasts at 11:08am. Main dish (A) came at 11:26am. Side dish (B) beef brisket with rice spaghetti came at 11:25am, rice roll came at 11:28am. Customer service: Surprisingly we were seated immediately even when there are many people waiting (likely for a bigger table). We ordered our complimentary drink (lai cha and ying yeung) at 11:08am (same time as food) Drinks arrived at 11:29am. Taste: husband and I ordered a mushroom and chicken omelette, and mushroom and shrimp omelette for main dish (A). Tasted bland since the filling do not have much seasoning. French toast's jam filling was quite minimal and dried up. Side dish (B) of rice roll was disappointing. Very bland. The only saving grace was our other side dish (B) of beef brisket with rice spaghetti. The briskets were soft and nicely seasoned and the rice spaghetti was chewy and cooked thoroughly. Both lai cha and ying yeung were watered down. Taste overall is below average to other HK cafes. Portion: average to other HK cafes. Price: average to other HK cafes. Note: the table next to us wanted breakfast, but was denied. They sat down at around 11:40am; claimed to the servers that they waited for a table for over 10 mins, but servers' stances are that their kitchen closed down breakfast orders by 11:30am. So...don't be late for breakfast. Overall: with the breakfast, we will only be back if we happen to be around this area prior to 11:30am. read more

I went to the cafe with a friend of mine. This place has been on my bucket list for a while and I was excited to try their menu (many of my friends recommend it). On that day, we ordered the Malaysian Curry Beef Brisket and Chicken with Black Bean Sauce Fried Rice Noodles. The curry tastes great. The favor of the curry was well-balanced and it tasted different from other curry place in town. Aside from curry taste, the beef brisket meat was tender and it was a pair with the curry. As for the noodle, it tasted good. The noodle was a pretty typical dish that you can order anywhere in town and nothing special to mention about. Overall, my experience at this place was great and I would be back for another session for lunch or dinner. read more

Been here a few times before. Food was typical HK Cafe style. Now I'm here early for breakfast. Hong Kong style breakfast. Memories as a youth coming to these types of places for breakfast in Chinatown. So here after 35+ years later, I'm still eating the occasional HK style breakfast, alone and its great!!!! Paid cash for a combo and out the door in half an hour and less than $7 including coffee. read more

Ordered three item combo (19.75) and it was good We later ask for more gravy (sauce) and the server ask for $3.00 We also asked for 2 butter for the baked potato and got one.. The poor attitude of the servers made it difficult to enjoy my meal. Which is too bad because I like to tip good service. read more

Do not come here. Food sucks and Take out orders they charge extra $0.50 for box and $0.50 for the cup without letting customers know

Have been here several times. It's pretty reasonable & yummy! The quantity is huge! It's always busy for that reason. We hate to wait but do take chances if it's not busy or we just drop in next door restaurant available, especially when hungry. But it's worth the wait when ur not crazy hungry. Lol! Definitely worth coming back. Recommended! read more

Angel Cafe - Mixed seafood egg white braised flat noodles. The one in the right is Malaysian beef brisket & tendon with rice. - Cantonese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place is great for a meal with friends or families. The food is delicious and it has a nice and friendly environment. When I ate here I had a stroller which was very inconvenient because it is a small restaurant so I would not recommend families with strollers to come here, but the food came pretty quickly and my family had a great meal. One thing I didn't like is the fact that the severs weren't very friendly and sometimes it was like they were shouting, but overall it was a very nice meal and I definitely recommend it to anyone. read more

Back in 2007/2008, I would have said this Hong Kong style cafe is presentable to say the least, mediocre yes, but it would have been amongst one of the options my family considered for eating out. Like any typical Hong Kong style cafe in the Lower Mainland, Angel Cafe offers: -Huge portions (enough to share between two people) -Tomato sauce for your spaghetti is properly prepared using ketchup -Cream soup has frozen vegetables and ham (yes ham, like for your sandwich) in it -Ingredients used is not fresh -Has set meals (I call them combos) where it may include any or all of the following: Soup, garlic bread, drink and/or dessert -- all for a good price -Long waiting time during rush hours It didn't use to be like this, but starting around Summer '08, the quality of food went downhill...the clams in my angel hair pasta with clams had enough sand in it for me to spit out a pearl, the salmon with spinach fettuccine in cream sauce smelled and tasted fishy. One of my friends who usually come with me to eat here never had a problem after eating here until that summer...we tried eating here a few more times thinking the first may be a fluke, but each time she would experience minor indigestion. Due to those incidences plus the mediocre quality of food and service, I would say that Angel Cafe is an experience that can be ignored. read more

This place is busy. Been here for breakfast and it wasn't good. Lunch is much better. The Hong Kong style cafe food is good. The dishes are tasty but not huge portions which is ok if you are looking for quality over quantity. Service is fast. They want you in and out. Peak times could be a little bit of a wait. read more

Not bad for a cheap meal. Don't expect a lot from service or from the food. Meals are about $6 - $7 so its really what you paid for. The portions are decent size and will fill you up. Like most HK style cafes, the lunch and afternoon meals always come with a drink (+$1 if its a cold drink! haha) The service is quick as the style of these types of places is to eat and leave. So they can serve the next customer. This is generally what happens during busy times, so don't expect awesome service during lunch time or early afternoon time. Parking is easy for this place. Theres a huge parking lot in the back. But just a heads up, it can get quite busy. read more

Definitely Asian comfort food. It has a simple diner style with booth seating. I couldn't believe how fast my Singapore style vermicelli came out and I enjoyed a lemon coke that arrived shortly after. Food was very filling and I see there is a dessert bakery adjoined on the side that I'm really curious about! On a beautiful autumn day you could eat in and then grab some dessert on the way out! read more

One of the best Chinese cafes in town in terms of food. Large selection on the menu already but love the fact that I can make up dishes and they'll be able to create it. Called in and asked for fried flat rice noodles with beef brisket in XO sauce and they said sure! I was delightfully surprised. My go-to dish here is actually the Xia Men fried rice noodles. They make a tasty version of it here, plus not many restaurants make it at all. If you know of another place (other than Golden Oscars) that has it on the menu, please let me know! I also hear that they make one of the best versions of baked pork chop on rice. Looks good but I haven't personally tried it. Large portions, reasonable prices, tasty food, excellent selection BUT don't come here if you're looking for good service. read more

Angel Cafe is another HK cafe in Vancouver. Quick efficient service, ok food, cash only, charges you extra for cold drinks. I shared the mix grill with a friend. For $14.95, you get 3 choices of meats, a potato (baked or fries), choice of spaghetti or rice, a soup, dessert and a drink. Not bad at all. I wouldn't recommend taking a date here, but if your hungry and want some good food without breaking the bank, I would recommend Angel Cafe. read more

Good casual restaurant to visit but make sure you don't go around prime time or else you will have to wait for a table for sure. Though, service is fast so you probably wouldn't have to wait for that long. Usually my boyfriend and I go before 11am because they have affordable specials at that time. However, today we went after not being there in along time and the prices have gone up. We could eat there before for around $5 per person but today we saw that prices went up at least a dollar or so all around. Still a good deal though I say! I ordered two items for $6.50 - fish congee and fried rice rolls. Definitely enough for a meal. This restaurant adds sliced lettuce to the congee so if you don't want that make sure to request eitherwise! I also do because I feel like it makes my congee watery and its never a problem. My boyfriend orders pork sausage and eggs. Make sure you order pork sausage if you want breakfast sausage as the regular sausage and eggs will bring you a hotdog link. His meal also comes with french toast. We both order a cold milk tea. We only ever get charged for one so one of our meals must come with one but we never check which one it is. In total our bill came out to a little over $12 which isn't bad. Even with the price hike, we probably will still keep returning :) read more

I should think twice before ordering anything not Chinese at a Chinese restaurant... I got a stomach ache after some pasta with cream sauce here once, but let that not bias my opinion. The service here stinks, dude. The second and last time I came here, I waited nearly an hour for take out in an empty restaurant and they ended up forgetting my soup. The guy who took my order was kinda rude too, wasn't sure if he liked taking it or not. Maybe he was having a bad night, I don't know, but I felt suuper awkward. And the food is pretty mediocre and kind of bad, considering how packed this place is all the time. read more

It's not too bad...we've been there few times. Large portions...we called for 2 dishes for 3 people. We had a dinner pan set menu. Comes with 2 items of choice with rice or spaghetti, soup, baked potato, drink and desert for $13.95. It's good for people with big appetite. The other item we ordered was salted fish with chicken fried rice. read more

Old favourite Hong Kong style food. The portions are generous and it's not overly expensive. Seafood tofu hotpot, chicken corn soup, and the seafood hot and sour seafood soup with honeydew melon bubble tea are my favourites! Cash only. Family / Child friendly. read more

This is your classic Hong Kong cafe. Great selection of food. Lots of vegetarian options. I love the mini set meals because they come with a drink. The baked rice dishes are amazing. The price is good and a really good value. read more

Your typical Hong Kong style cafe, on the greasy side. Comparable to Honolulu and Cafe Gloucester and that sort. I usually get a baked spaghetti bolognaise and a cold milk tea for about $10 and the SO usually gets one of their set menus. Usually open until 11-ish, which makes it a handy spot to have in the neighbourhood. It looks like during the day time there's a bakery side here, but I've never been here early enough to see. read more

I came here a while back and didn't really remember what I had ordered or how the experience was, so that means it wasn't a bad one. Since I was nearby yesterday I decided to give it a try again since my parents like this place. I ordered lunch take out- as I often like eating at a park on a sunny day or at home in front of the tv etc. $13 got me literally 1kg of food and drinks. So I thought the quality probably would be lacking, which I would still accept since this place is usually busy so the food would at least be half decent. When I got home, opened up the big bag- my ice cold Horlicks drink, hot soup, sauce in a cup and the large heavy foam box packed with my rib eye steak, salmon fillet, large serving of rice, small serving of boiled veges and medium serving of fries! Everything nicely packed individually, properly prepared and tasted great! Oh there was also a slice of garlic bread individually bagged as well, amazingly enough still crispy after the short drive. Where in town can you get all this food with a medium rare rib eye steak? For now this will be my main goto joint for good quality food and double sized meals. Oh and service was good, attentive waiter and food was prep'd in 10mins. Look at their lunch combo deal for what I'd ordered, there's about 12main items to choose from (you get to pick 2 (or more)), plus soup and drink of your choice with the bread. 1kg of great food! read more

Angel Cafe - Ribeye steak, Salmon fillet black pepper sauce lunch - Cantonese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Went there a couple of days ago for a Christmas dinner. The food was quite good considering the only HK cafe style food spot within the area. The dinner started with a cream of mushroom soup. Then came the main course, it had a Lobster with melted cheese on top. There's two pork meat with the choice to come with rice of spaghetti. It was a really big plate, with potatoes, and turkey meat. For dessert, the cheesecake was quite creamy. Except I'd prefer a hard, biscuit-y bottom. I went with my cousin who lived in the States once, and she complimented about the food the entire time we were there! I personally think if you take a foreigner there, they would have a great time enjoying the food. I live in Vancouver for a long time, so I know the places with more expensive but better HK style food. Yet, this is still most convenient and my all-time favorite. read more

It's uneatable Angel Cake Cafe - 5995 Fraser St. Vancouver, BC 1/17/2011 I was accidentally come cross to this restaurant in other site, after read all their reviews, most of them like the place, because they are cheap and big portion other than lack of service. I plan to pay a visit and try it out. On my way home yesterday, I stop and look around but decided instead stay in, I ordered curry beef brisket with rice to go, it cost $9.95 +HST, it's over $11.00 and a piece of chocolate cake $2.95 + hst. All in all it's almost $15.00. There is more potato than the beef brisket and a lot of curry sauce. The piece of chocolate cake is also very small for $2.95. The curry beef brisket dish mostly curry sauce and potato, not much beef brisket. This is not good value, on the contrary, I think its very expenses. You pay $7.for potato (deep fried in grease oil) and curry sauce. The taste of the curry beef brisket is awful, it's uneatable. I keep smelling oil and taste oily. Wonder what this oily taste come from, it's not from the container; the curry sauce doesn't look too oily, why it smell and taste oily. After carefully examine the food, I found they deep fried the potato and mix with the curry beef brisket before serving. This is a terrible way of serving curry beef brisket. Do these people know how to cook? Regardless what type of curry used, it should not taste like that, that's why it's uneatable. I will never cater that restaurant again and not recommend to any of my friend. Restaurant serve food like that, give the Chinese restaurant a bad reputation. . read more

Decent size HK cafe around. Prices are quite inexpensive and the portions are big. Most meals at least come with a drink for free. They are all really attentive and the late night menu is where it's at! 9pm!! Such a vast selection and all comes with drinks! They beat out Soho for sure!.. If you're on a budget and would like a variety of options, pay a visit at 9pm! You may have a second meal depending on what you order. read more

Management has changed. This since @ 3 months ago. Food & service noticeably & happily better. Whoop!! We ordered for dinner: baked sole w spinach on rice good; Malaysian style fried rice vermicelli okay; & curry chicken w rice. This one is canto style not Malaysian - quite good. garlic beef stone bowl - not oily & v tasty; must try! I highly recommend this place for quick cheap eats. For those not in the know, tea time 1600-1800 i believe, also has free drink or soup. Ask what's on that day. A plus is wait staff has reasonably good English too. read more

I always come here in the past 6 years. The price is reasonable..In the menu more choice for me pick. Location is good, have alot of 2 hours free parking. Service is good. Even in busy time!

My wife and I enjoy coming to this HK style cafe. Fair priced food, good portions and for the most part good service during the times we have been here. Do expect to wait during busy hours so if you are looking for a quick meal come during off peak hours. Their curry are good as with their pepper chicken meal...our favorite though is their breakfast sets which is before 11:30. read more

This had been my cafeteria through my university years and continued being an excellent choice when I want to skip cooking. Food here is likely not the finest, given their price range, but it is clean, well prepared, and most importantly for a then college student, abundant. For the years I have been there, not even once did I have to sent my food back to the kitchen. As to their service, it might be a bit stereotyping, but I found the service here well above my average experience with Chinese/Cantonese/HK restaurants. Strongly recommended! read more

Came here after a terrible service at Deer Garden down the street. Angel Cafe often provide friendly service (the regular staff are always friendly). Angel Cafe set up seating enough for 10 people in the group, service is quick, food is great for the price. Will alway come back for this. Highly recommended. read more

After the Incredibles dining experience at Angel Café, I have decided to dine in everyday during my visit. So happen on my third day of visiting, the owner was checking in to make sure everything taste fine. I was telling him that I used to live in Boston and missed the fresh lobsters taste which I pre-ordered a lobster dish for next day dinner before I left Vancouver. Oh goodness, the lobster dish was a mixture of Hong Kong style lobster in Western style. I would strongly recommend all the Adventurer or people love Hong Kong style food to try. One order can feed two people. Portion is huge, it's perfect to share. Next time when I head to Vancouver again, I would be sure to pre-order and try this delicious dish again! This place ROCKs! read more

The lady who responsible arranging tables always ignores guys waiting only "reserved" tables for her friends. Attitude impolite for others except her friends! Food tastes not good! French toast is very dry. read more

It is hit or miss Hong Kong cafe restaurant for me. I like their french toast, seafood laksa, thai fried rice and shanghai noodles. Their milk tea is also good here too. It is a very busy restaurant especially during lunch hours. Their customer service is not bad. The price is little bit higher than other restaurants. Their portion is quite generous but the taste can be inconsistent from time to time. Overall when the food is good, I do enjoy eating here. read more

Have not been in several years, so coming at 1230pm on a Saturday, I thought their lunch specials would be available. But I guess not until 2pm. Portion size is huge but the food we ordered was very bland. We got the last table and it was very loud inside. Typical Chinese restaurant service. Lots of parking. read more

Love this place. Food and price on point! Definitely like to order the curries, soups and the hainenese chicken.

Baked pork chop on rice with milk tea mmm... Very good 'wok hei' (the fragrant fried flavour that a wok imparts to the dish) without being too greasy with the Singapore fried noodles. They even have calamari which I've never seen at any other Hong Kong teahouse style eateries. Most of the usual staples are made well here, fish and chips, Macau pork sandwich, etc. read more

No Thanks!!! Sometimes my parents get a craving for some Hong Kong style cafe food. Usually it's pretty simple dishes and some great Hong Kong styled drinks. We decided to stop over Angel's Cafe for lunch today after some errands... and let me tell you, it was NOT good. The service was non-exisitent and it took a long time to even get water or tea. While I was in the midst of ordering, the waitress decided to start walking away! Umm? I wasn't done yet? I ordered 1 drink for a table of 5??? Finally we ordered but the food made me wish I hadn't. I asked the "manager" why the spaghetti tasted really off, maybe they had some bad cheese on it. But the Manager insisted nothing was wrong and would do nothing about it. OK???? Well, it tastes rotten and yet you haven't tasted it but insists nothing is wrong and you won't do anything about it? I don't think I've ever been to a place (Chinese restaurant or not) when the food was not good or even cold (NOT ROTTEN TASTING) that the management wouldn't at least try to fix it. Needless to say, we ended up having to pay for the disgusting meal and now we know that customer service and the food is horrendous. If you want to leave full and in a good mood, I would suggest NOT going to Angel's Cafe. read more
