Cha Don is a Hong Kong-style café concept that nails the casual cha chaan teng experience with…read morelegit flavour and sharp value, especially for a food court operation. Long lines at both the Yaohan and Henderson Mall locations speak to how popular it is, and the pricing sits in the affordable range for generous, full-meal plates rather than snack-sized portions. The overall value proposition is strong: you get real-deal HK café flavours without feeling like corners were cut. Dishes come out fast and hot, and the kitchen does not skimp on proteins--whether it's pork chops, chicken, or beef, plates feel properly loaded rather than padded with carbs. Despite the crowds, service is efficient and geared toward turnover, which suits the food court setting and keeps waits manageable once you've actually ordered. It's the kind of place where you grab your tray, sit, and eat rather than linger, but it delivers exactly what you come for. Given the combination of flavour, portion size, and price, Cha Don is an easy recommend for Hong Kong café fans looking for a quick, satisfying meal. The only real downside is the lineup; at peak times the queue can be enough to make you think twice. Still, if the line isn't too long, it's absolutely worth returning for another round.

Who knew Hong Kong cafe food in a food court would be so popular? Does this beat driving to…read moreRichmond? Heck ya! Parking is easily available but there is a 4 hour limit. Cha Don has only been opened in Henderson Mall for 2 weeks and the line is insane. (Even went back a month later and it's still ridiculous.) Most of the dishes are under $16 but some of the items are not available till after 11:30. That's includes the baked rice dish and spaghetti and the minced pork patty rice series. This will quicken up the long time for those breakfast goers but sucks if you're craving either of those. So the first time I had gone, there were lots of mistakes in orders and the long lines. There was also a sign in front of the cashier stating that they will only take CASH or E-TRANSFER...So be prepared! By the look at more recent reviews, it seems like they're still working out the kinks and the line is still 30-45 minutes. Maybe by this spring they'll figure it out? Just know there are lots of good options if you're not willing to wait.

Further to my lunch experience a couple of months ago which wasn't too good, i decided to give…read moretheir breakfast another chance. I used to come here often with friends and families for breakfast and wanted to see whether it still tasted just as good. We each got two items from the breakfast combo, A through D. A to Cs are our usual options and upgrade to French toast. The eggs were somewhat on the drier side and i personally prefer fluffy ones. The beef noodles and the congee continue to be my favorites. The beef noodle broth is flavorful and the congee definitely comforted my soul. The items listed in D are always a miss. We have tried all items and none of them was delicious. For example, the steamed rice rolls were very doughy. Other times, they were very dry. The items in D sometimes felt like they're frozen dim sum items sold at grocery stores. Service is a hit or miss depending on which server you get. Sometimes you get servers who come and refill tea and provides actual service. Other times, no one comes by at all even when there is no tea in cups, etc.

Found abt the lobster special and had to go…read more Honest to goodness Chinese food, i tell you! Got a few things to go with the lobster special and it did not fail me. The dessert at the end was a surprise. Expecting red bean soup but got a Chinese jello instead. Prawns were amazing too. Salted egg flavour and sweet and sour pork had wok hei! Service could be a bit slower but it's a Chinese restaurant. So i get it. Everything was gooood! Portions were generous and the taste on point. The washrooms could use a bit of cleaning as well as the flooring...so had to take away a star. Would go back for sure! Overall tho, good comfort Chinese food at reasonable prices. Cheers! Happy eating!

My family always wanted to come but we only made it once during breakfast. So this past weekend, we…read moregot there bright and early. We got seated right away. We got a variety of items: congee with beef, turnip cake, ham omelette, macaroni with satay beef, bolo bun and Ovaltine. To my surprise, almost everything was below expectation. The congee was overly salted. I first thought it's just me, then I heard customers at 2 other tables said the same so I guess it's not just my taste bud that had issues. The turnip cake barely had any toppings. It's plain and can't taste turnip to it. It's also not pan fried that well so it's mostly soft. The macaroni is alright. The broth is as expected. Some of the beef is kind of chewy though. The egg omelette is good. I also got an egg tart to go since that's what they're know for. The egg part is really good, soft and fluffy. The crust is a bit dry and thin. I've had better elsewhere tbh. Overall, my experience here is just alright. I appreciate the HK Cafe environment but the food was subpar

Scramble eggs - Very silly and smooth…read more Chicken steak - nice and crispy. Although it can need more marinate like garlic powder or salt. The sandwich/bread was very soft.

Roast pork was good too. Not oily and crunchy skin. Service is good. To order and food is served. Comes with a soup and tea. Nice restaurant, clean but floor a bit slippery.

An entree comes with soup of the day and we got cream of mushroom soup. Drinks we got lemon iced tea and were made perfectly and refreshing. We got the sizzling plate chicken steak with black pepper sauce and pasta. Had two pieces of chicken with a crispy skin on top of grilled onions and vegetables. Black pepper sauce was more on the garlic sauce side but went well with chicken. The baked pork chop and prawns came half and half with red sauce and a white creamy cause for the prawns. The sauces were flavorful and had aromatics from actual slices of tomatoes and onions. Would prefer more of a broiled cheese on top.

There was a dish cart full of dirty dishes in the center of the dining room piled high. Throughout my dining, it remained. We had multiple breakfast dishes, from congee, rice rolls, macaroni in soup to French toast, they all fell below our expectations. The foods took long to serve but the food temperature was just warm. The tastes were bland and nothing really stood out. Drinks were mediocre but the Ovaltine was not sweetened and diluted. The only good thing was probably the many parking spaces due to located in a strip mall. Overall disappointed.

The decor is...,well, not anything special but cream walls and dark benches and wooden tables with medium lighting. I was getting worried but we stepped in so might as well move forward. To our surprise, we enjoyed the club sandwich, congee and pan fried rice noodles. The baked Portuguese chicken was ok. We would consider Silver Tower Cafe for late night eats for tradition HK style cafe. Service was so-so so that is why the deduction of one star.

HK style cafe food stall in the Richmond Public Market 2nd floor food court. This one is located in…read morethe southwest corner. It's been there for years, but recently changed its signage. Despite the name "cart" in the Chinese name, they don't have cart noodles on the menu. Saw some people getting orders there, on a not super busy day at the food court. The menu has various HK tea cafe style sandwiches, rice, and noodles. I got the minced beef with egg over rice. This comes with a drink, and I got the milk tea, which was not super sweet but not bitter either. Took 10 min to get the food. Comes in a good sized container. The portion is pretty big as I was only to eat a bit over half. As for the taste, the minced beef is in a tomato-based sauce. It's HK style so the it's milder than traditional pasta sauce. Includes a sunny side up egg on top which you can break the yolk and mix with the rice. Decent flavors, goes down easy. Overall price was $17.5. Not necessarily the cheapest food court offering, but still good deal given the portion.

We saw that there were groups of people waiting for a table, but since there was only 2 of us, they sat us down right away. The space is pretty nice for a HK cafe. We ordered two mini-sets: - #133 Pan Fried Spaghetti with Black Pepper Beef: Good. It was a good portion size, good flavour and decent wok-hei. Very acceptable. - #148 Shanghai Pan Fried Noodle: Good. Also a good portion size and well prepared. No complaints. We only ate half the food, and took the rest home for dinner. Service was fine for a HK cafe. Pleasant and attentive enough, but constantly in a rush. Very efficient. Overall, I was happy with my meal. It was fast, affordable and filled me up. The room and service was a bit nicer than most HK cafes, and the food was quite good. I would rate 3.5, but a slight edge up because it was remarkably better than the last HK cafe I went to. I would come back.
