And it sure was - these were better than Din Tai Fung and for a fraction of the price! The best part is they make them super fresh, right in front of your eyes. A must try if you're in Richmond!

I love coming here when I'm craving Hon Kong-style breakfast. This is the most popular stall as I…read morethink many people alongside me recognize that the food equality and price makes it easily the best deal at the mall. I've tried various breakfast items on their menu and keep going back to these combos: steak or fried fish with scrambled eggs and toast or hashbrowns. The steak is a large portion and tender - sometimes you get the luck of the draw with a nicer cut of steak without a lot of tendon or fatty bits, the fried fish is also large and very crispy outside yet soft inside. The scrambled egg is creamy. The toast is buttered and hash brown is crispy. Combos come with a drink and I usually get the milk tea that comes in a large cup which feels generous and not stingy, something that many other stalls don't do. Nothing about this stall, but it's hard to find a table on the weekend and the chairs are not very comfy. Parking can also be tough if you arrive after 11 am.

I can only imagine how amazing it would be during the winter months. The service was quick, efficient, and straight to the point--no frills, no nonsense. Surprised? That's how we Asians do it! I was only passing through and wanted to support a local spot, and this place did not disappoint. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates authentic, home-style food.

When I found out they had a location in Empire Centre, we headed there just after they opened at 9:00... and no line?!? We ordered their famous scrambled eggs with fish cutlet and toast, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The eggs were incredibly soft and creamy which was reminiscent of omurice. The fish cutlet was perfectly fried (crispy on the outside and flaky inside) which paired beautifully with the savoury onion sauce. We also had the pineapple bun with satay beef, which was another winner. The sweet, fluffy bun and rich, savoury satay filling were a perfect combination. Salty and sweet! Of course, no Hong Kong café experience is complete without Hong Kong milk tea, and Cha Don's version was excellent... smooth, rich, and exactly what you'd hope for. It's easy to see why there's always a lineup (which started right after we got our food). Great execution of Hong Kong café classics, friendly service, and food that's well worth making the trip for. I can definitely see myself coming back.

We went around 1pm and surprisingly they ran out of a lot of options including the baked pork chop rice that I really wanted to try. Despite that, we still gave this place a try since there is barely a line, very unusual for this place. We ended up with the scallion chicken noodle (breakfast item), satay beef vermicelli (breakfast item), and black pepper baked filet over rice. These are stuff out of what I usually get, but I still enjoyed them. The scallion chicken dish was $15 which is a bit steep especially given the chicken is tiny but comes with hot drink. The chicken is a grilled chicken with skin which is flavorful, though the noodles were a bit underseasoned so it is ideal to add the sauce from the chicken into the noodles. The satay beef vermicelli is amazing. The beef is so tender and flavorful, and enhances the flavor of the vermicelli. The eggs and toast were delicious too - eggs were scrambled over easy, and the toast is very crunchy. Black pepper baked filet over rice was pretty hearty. I love the fragrance of the rice and the filet is very tender. The black pepper sauce does clash and dominate some of the flavors but it is still nonetheless well executed. For the drinks that come with the meals, we got milk tea and milk tea + coffee (yin yang) - these drink are high in caffeine even with the small size! Will update to 5 stars when I try the full suite of items they are known for, since the dishes we got were good but stuff that I could've gotten elsewhere.

I kinda have mixed feelings now about it. I'll get my nitpicking out of the way first. I felt like I was at a different fast food chain entirely as it felt like half the menu was different here. The food just looked different as well. I'm not a fan of the smaller takeaway containers too. Just feels like a contest of how much food can the worker mash in for you. I'm sure the quantity of food is similar to a full sized container but it's not as appealing. In terms of taste, I was a bit disappointed. For a fast food joint, I liked the Metrotown location as it felt like it lived up to the namesake and offered some type of fusion flavour. Here, it felt more like typical Chinese food fare. I went early in the day and while eating, it felt like the food was a bit overcooked as it took a bit more effort chewing than I wanted. Overall, not awful but not great. It'll meet your Chinese food quota if that's your goal.
