If you're tired of Americanized Chinese food that tastes like sugar and cornstarch, this is the place to go. This is the real deal. The menu is massive and packed with authentic dishes you don't usually see on typical takeout menus. We ordered the mapo tofu and the twice-cooked pork, and both were packed with that signature numbing Sichuan peppercorn kick. The portions are incredibly generous - we had leftovers for two more meals. The dumplings were hand-made and perfectly pleated. The service is no-frills and efficient - don't expect white tablecloths, but do expect incredible food. Already planning our next visit to work through more of the menu. read more

Mom and I visited over the weekend and this place was packed. They have a huge menu, just like a typical cha chaan teng, so it honestly took us forever to decide what to order. We ended up getting the ham macaroni soup with a cheese ham sandwich combo, along with the O Street signature beef sandwich and fries from their new menu. Despite how busy it was on a Saturday, the food came out at a pretty reasonable speed, which I appreciated. The macaroni soup was just okay, very much the kind of simple comfort food that fills you up, but nothing especially memorable. I was most excited for the signature beef sandwich, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The burger/sandwich itself was smaller than I imagined, and it only had about 2-3 pieces of beef brisket inside with marinated bell peppers and their homemade sauce. The sauce leaned sweeter than expected, which might work for some people, but personally I was hoping for something more savoury and more generous with the beef. However, the brisket was tender, which was a win... ish. Overall, still a decent spot if you're craving classic HK cafe vibes and variety, especially for a casual meal with family. read more

This is a classic HK style cafe in Richmond Hill serving exactly what you'd expect - baked rices, grilled meats, and HK milk tea. We came here for dinner on a Friday and ordered a baked pork chop rice, beef brisket on rice, and Hawaiian mixed grill. Overall the dishes had good flavours and great value for money. The service was speedy and the staff experienced. The Hawaiian mixed grill was huge with grilled chicken, pork chops, fried egg, pineapple, frozen fish fillet and sausage. While the ingredients weren't the best, it met expectations. The other dishes were excellent and we had a bit if left over to take home. Would come here again when in the area. read more

This Hong Kong style cafe offers varieties of HK canteen food at very reasonable price ($20-$30 per person). The owner and the servers are also very friendly, efficiently serving us the things we need. It's a place I would revisit if I'm in the area. Recently, we had dinner here. We tried their beef brisket with rice, baked pork chop with rice, and Hawaiian mixed grill which includes veggies, fried egg, sausage, fish fillet, ham, pork chop and pineapples. All dishes are served in big portion. I liked the pork chop and beef brisket. Very flavourful and fresh. However, I didn't like the mixed grill so much. The fish fillet is frozen fish, the sausage also tastes old. Overall, this place offers great value for money. read more

Stopped by Cafe O Street on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill, surrounded by plenty of local shops and restaurants along the strip. The vibe is very much a classic Hong Kong-style café. casual, cozy, and perfect for a quick comfort meal. They serve cha chaan teng-style comfort food at pretty reasonable prices. A couple highlights from my visit were the pork chop bun with fries and the French toast from the afternoon tea menu. The pork chop bun was juicy, flavorful, and super satisfying, while the French toast was absolutely delicious. crispy on the outside, fluffy and buttery inside. One thing to note: cold drinks come with an additional charge, which is typical for HK café sets. Overall, a solid spot when you're craving Hong Kong café classics in Richmond Hill. read more

We did some take out this weekend. It was really close by. The menu was really Hong Kong style. We ordered a Ginger Onion Oil with Chicken Cutlet on Instant Noodles and a Onions Corned Beef and Shrimp with Scrambled Egg on Rice. Both of them were good and tasty. Just the potion was a bit tiny. That's good enough for me as a girl. They were ready fast, we didn't wait for too long. The price was reasonable. We can definitely come back again, and should come back to try others. read more

A great local ran HK 茶餐厅 that takes a innovative spin on traditional recipes. As a full on carnivor the fried pork chops hot grill with black pepper or gravy is general my go to. The fried pork chops are always tender, with that typical light batter and crispy crust, but do NOT sleep on the veg and potatoe under which are often drowned in the sauce with a extremely crispy and caramalized side that was sitting directly on the hot pan. They recently introduced a haiwan maybe inspired hot plate with fried fish, pork chop, sausage and a golden fried egg. While the pork quantity did decrease the mix, and the egg made up and if you pop the yolk, it really ties the entire thing together. read more

As a fan of the traditional HK style cafe I was pleasantly surprised to see one in this part of Richmond Hill. Located in a strip mall that is north of Major Mac on Yonge Street the place is quite small and will get cramped. The menu consists of all the cha chan teng favourites ie: baked rice and baked pastas, noodle soups, curries etc., Most dishes come with the standard hot drink and the option of a cold drink with a small up charge. What is different is that you also get a bowl of soup (borscht) with the meal. What was ordered: Double cheese baked rice with chicken Double cheese baked spaghetti with bacon, mushroom cream sauce Beef rice with ginger, scallion and mushroom. The baked items were brought to the table in metal Ikea containers and bamboo/wood lids were used as the coasters. This will give you an idea of the portion size. Portions were decent and flavours were okay. Service was attentive. We would definitely come again to try some other items on the menu. read more

Overall rating: 3.5/5 (rounded down on Yelp) Heard a lot of buzz about this spot, so I decided to visit for some classic HK brekkie eats. The interior is definitely reminiscent of old-school HK cafes - even the dishware. I had a classic egg & ham sandwich, which was delicious. The egg was so fluffy and thick, and the bread was lightly toasted but still soft. I should have gone for the spam instead of ham, though - the thicker, saltier spam would have complemented the egg be Unfortunately, the HK milk tea was not approved by my taste buds. The tea was too weak, and I want HK milk tea with a punch of tea flavour balanced with the evaporated milk. Might come back to try their lunch/afternoon tea specials though! read more

We have been to this small store a couple of times. The food quality is being consistent, although the menu items are very similar to other HK cafe, no big difference and tastes almost the same as well. The service is very warm, make you feel at home. The deco is quite minimal. We go there when no time to cook. read more

Tried this fairly new Hong Kong cafe in Richmond Hill on a Sunday around noon and it was pretty packed! The staff were very attentive and fast to serve you tea, bring menus, and take your order. The menu is extensive and I love that the lunch and dinner menu has lots of options! I ordered the steak with black pepper sauce on rice ($16.99) from the lunch menu, and it came with a free soup and drink. The steak with black pepper sauce was really good. Loved how the steak was made, and the steak was pretty thick compared to other cafes. I'll definitely be coming back to try out the other dishes. Loved the decor and atmosphere of the cafe too. read more

I was surprised this was here and it's next the. I only knew about the Newmarket location. The last time I went by, it was closed. They close on Wednesdays. Ambiance - 3.5/5: it was a small place, seats are tight. They only have 1 bathroom and it is technically accessible. I don't know how accessible because the corridor is tight with one side filled with storage items Service - 4.5/5: we got seated quickly, we looked at the menu and ordered. The food came out very quickly too. Food - 4/5: we got 2 breakfast combos - chicken cutlet on instant noodles and I paired it with iced lemon tea. We also got bacon, fried eggs and buttered white bread with satay beef in vermicelli which is a breakfast combo. We paired that with an iced milk tea. There is an extra charge for cold drinks. The food was good. The drinks were on the sweeter side. Overall: 4/5 - I would come back and try their lunch specials. read more

Service is good. They seated us quickly. The food also came out very quickly. They were courteous with us. They had 2-3 rounds of turnover in customers by the time we were done eating. 5/5 Ambiance - tight spaces. We were sitting close to each other. Although the washroom is big enough to accommodate people with disability, the corridor is too narrow to accommodate. One side of the corridor is storage. 3/5 Food was good and it was filling. Drinks were a little bit on the sweeter side even after jabbing through the lemon. Definitely cold enough with the ice. 4/5 Would come back to try out their lunch and dinner menu. read more

3.5/5 I've been to the Newmarket venue before and this is my first visit to Richmond Hill venue. Decor is a bit dated which fits the name 'Old' street. A small cozy cafe serving Hong Kong-styled Cha Chaan Teng food. Food prices are reasonable, foods taste authentic, service is on par; overall no surprise no disappointment. If we're around, we'll visit again. read more

My workout buddy was raving to me about the Newmarket location for the longest time and I've had it in my bookmarks for awhile as a result. So when this new expansion popped up in Richmond Hill near me I went to try it immediately. I decided to order the special poached chicken because my family watched a video of a chinese food vlogger claiming it was one of the "best chicken rices" he'd ever eaten. My parents and I visited on a weekday for lunch and made sure to make a reservation beforehand. When we arrived the line was pretty ridiculous (ppl were lining up outside). My parents shared the stir-fried "home" style vermicelli while I downed the chicken rice. Ok right off the bat, I will say, I did prefer the vermicelli to the chicken rice. The chicken rice WAS good but it definitely wasn't mind blowing or anything. It had a nice jelly layer between the skin and the meat which is very hard to achieve but would I prefer this chicken to say hainanese chicken? Nah. Also, the best chicken rices I've had tend to be boneless and the paired rice is usually super fragrant. The rice that came with the chicken was infused with a tiny bit of flavour but was definitely on the dry side. The accompanying sauces were also very scarce and not enough was provided. Surprisingly like I said, the vermicelli was very good. It came with a healthy amount of char siu and shrimps scattered throughout the dish. I had a lemon tea while my parents had milk tea. I thought the lemon tea was just ok. The milk tea however was quite rich. I think I'll get milk tea on my future visits. I do plan to be back because the curry dishes sound very tasty AND the prices of the dishes are extremely consumer-friendly for this economic climate. I'm also planning to try the dish my buddy recommended which is L14 (ginger onion oil w/ chicken cutlet on instant noodle/rice) because he swears by it. As it stands, I'm caught between a 3 star and 4 star rating at around 3.5 stars. I think I'll round up cuz the drink sizes AND the final bill was to my liking. read more

Arrive on a Thursday at 1200 and the place was packed. Decided to try this new place due to the good reviews for their original location. It was still technically a soft opening, flower displays still at the entrance Upon entering it felt like I was magically transported into Hong Kong. Minimum decor, tables/chairs crammed close together, noise level at times reached eat splitting levels, people speaking loudly with mouthfuls of food, service staff darting quickly between the tightly spaced tables delivering food or retrieving empty dishes. Nothing negative but a vibrant and energetic environment, loved it. I was expecting to be seated with other diners sharing a small table like some restaurants do in Hong Kong (that's a funny story in itself which I'll keep to myself for now) Typical cha chang teng menu with some signature dishes like their French toast with salted cream. I went traditional with their char siu rice dish and satay noodle soup. At first glance the char siu looked dry, not glistening with oil and charred when purchased at a BBQ meat place. But sometimes first impressions can be wrong thank goodness, the char siu was tender and surprisingly flavorful, the yolk of the 2 fried eggs were slightly overcooked as I prefer then to be runnier. The satay beef was tender, noodles firm, broth was typical, nothing unique. With the numerous cha chaan tengs in Markham, their food was not bad however the difference maker for me was the environment, this place had a true Hong Kong style cha chaan teng vibe that I have not felt anywhere else. The only thing missing were people reading their Chinese newspapers wth one bare foot propped up on their chair read more

This is not to be confused with their other location in Newmarket, the O'Street Cafe. This is their second location but everything is exactly the same. Exact menu and decor. The same set of pictures on the wall. It wasn't busy at all during a Thursday evening. There was no wait at all. We got their baked pork chop and their steak with egg and rice. The baked pork chop portion looks to be bigger than their other location and I am glad the pork chop was boneless. The sauce tasted more ketchupy than tomatey. Good amount of cheese. However, I thought the Newmarket location tasted a little bit better. The steak, they forgot to ask me how well the steak should be done. I had to go tell them. The dish presentation and the egg were done better at the Newmarket location. The dish here came out kind of sloppy. Most of their main dishes come with soup and a hot drink. $1.25 extra to make the drink into a cold drink. Milk tea was smooth and it was definitely a fresh batch. There was a couple that actually walked in 15 minutes before closing and they still served them. I noticed that happened at the other location where a group walked in a few minutes before closing and they still served them. Most of the staff were still new. But they were very polite. Overall, I am glad they have a location that is closer but I would highly recommend to visit their original location if you haven't yet. Make it a day trip :) read more

This HK style cafe is always packed which is generally a good sign. I tried this for the first time recently and thought the food was decent with generous portions, but felt that the food looked better than the taste. Maybe I picked the wrong items to try because looking around I saw dishes that seemed very appealing, so I will be back to try something else! read more

I don't usually give 5 star but the service is excellent and the food is pretty good. No complaint. The price are not expensive either.

Classic HK style afternoon tea cha chaan teng 茶餐厅 spot - fast service and quick filling meals. Parking spaces are a little small but available as the restaurant is in a plaza. A short line on a weekday visit (2 groups ahead of us) but given the limited options for similar cuisine in that area, I'm sure the weekend gets super busy. Spacing between tables is limited, as my group of 3 was seated beside a couple at an 8-person table, but enough elbow room. Food is standard for quality and portion, great value. Most of the staff are Cantonese and English speaking. Will visit again! read more
