The atmosphere and even the way the waiters interacted with customers reminded me of Hong Kong. My wife ordered Hainan Chicken Rice, and I ordered Combo D, which included beef noodles, egg toast and milk tea. I even told my wife a joke about ordering food in a Hong Kong restaurant. I remembered a girl being asked to order in English and carefully explaining the full names of each dish, while the busy waiter just wanted her to choose a combo by its letter, from A to D! The food was good, and the experience brought back a lot of memories. My only regret is that we were too full to try the pineapple bun with butter. I'll definitely try it next time!

Stopped by Chrisly Cafe for lunch today and really enjoyed our first visit. We waited about 30…read moreminutes, but I actually liked that they have a digital waitlist where you can enter your information and keep track of your spot instead of standing around waiting for your number to be called. Once we were seated, the food came out in under 5 minutes for everyone, which was honestly impressive considering how busy they were. Prices are about average for an HK café and the food was decent. We all ordered the satay beef instant noodles (沙嗲牛肉公仔麵), so I can't really comment on the rest of the menu yet. The highlight for me was definitely the drinks. Both the Hong Kong-style milk tea (奶茶) and yuenyeung (鴛鴦) had a nice bold, authentic flavour that's getting harder to find these days. Overall, a solid spot for Hong Kong-style comfort food, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

They're especially well known for their Hong Kong style milk tea, which truly lives up to the reputation. As shown in my photos, the dishes are well presented and look just as satisfying as they taste. The service is friendly and efficient, making the overall dining experience relaxed and enjoyable. Some standout menu items include the black pepper chicken steak, the scallion pork chop rice, and the satay beef instant noodles, all of which deliver familiar Hong Kong flavors done right. The milk tea deserves a special mention. Rich, aromatic tea paired with silky smooth milk, well balanced, and you can ask for the sweet level you like. With quick service, reasonable prices, and consistently good food, Chrisly is an easy recommendation for anyone in the area looking for authentic HK café vibes.

New City Restaurant is one of those long-standing spots in the plaza that people keep coming back…read moreto. Although there is a lot of parking in this plaza, there are times when there is hardly any available spots. Service is quick and efficient every time I've gone. The menu is HK-style café with a wide range of options, so there's something for everyone. I've tried quite a bit from their menu over time, and nothing has been disappointing. One thing I appreciate is that they don't over-season their food, especially with salt. Most of their meals come with drinks and a choice of soup and they have CREAM SOUP! It's much rarer to find a place that still offers it nowadays. Drinks are also better than average compared to the surrounding hk styled cafes in this plaza. I'd come back because it's reliable and easy to enjoy, especially with a small group of people!

We finally gave this place a try as the first time there was a long line up and we were too hungry…read moreto wait, but this time we arrived during quiet time so its good for us as there isn't much seating available. Its at the Langham Square plaza area not far from the Kennedy plaza on south of Hwy 7 Kennedy area. Here is what we ordered: Pineapple Bun w/Butter- $7.95 comes with hot drink Cheung Fun Noodles w/ Siu Mai Fish & fishball I believe- $9.45 with hot drink. Hainese Chicken w/Rice - $11.95 First off, the pricing of this place is really good and much less expensive vs other HK cafe we've been to. Secondly, everything we ordered is standard for most part, except, the hainese chicken rice which was the most common dish ordered and now we know why... The rice has flavour of the chicken oil and fat, and the chicken though not the most tender or slippery they call it in chinese, but good enough. The star was the sauce they provided which is 3 types: one sweet dark soy sauce like, ginger scallion sauce and their chili sauce... All these were very very tasty along with the flavoured rice! You must give it a try if you remotely enjoy cold chicken with these amazing sauces... I only wish they sell the chili sauce because that is very tasty!

I've walked past this place many times and it always has a long line, so when we finally saw an…read moreempty table, we decided to give it a try. It was my first time here, and the experience started off on the wrong foot. I had barely sat down, not even 30 seconds, before a staff member was already hovering over us trying to take our order. I hadn't even had a chance to look the menu yet, which immediately made things feel rushed and uncomfortable. The space itself is quite small, and they won't let smaller groups of two people or fewer sit in the booths, which adds to that cramped and slightly stressful atmosphere. There's people hovering nearby watching if you're almost done. Overall, the entire dining experience felt rushed from start to finish. The food is cheap, I'll give them that, but unfortunately the quality reflects that. I ordered a sandwich and it was sloppily put together. The bread slices were not even aligned properly, where the top slice and bottom slices were in opposite directions, making it so you couldn't pick it up. Flavour-wise, I was hoping for more of a Hong Kong cafe style satay beef, but this wasn't it. The curry was okay, with some decent chunks of meat and potato, but nothing particularly memorable. What really left a bad impression was the payment experience. Their debit machine defaults to 12%, 15%, or 18% tips calculated after tax, with no upfront notice or custom option. Tipping is not mandatory in Canada, and it should be up to the customer based on service. When we asked about it, the response felt as if we were being made to feel cheap over "just a few cents". Honestly it is not about the amount, it is about principle. If you are just looking for a quick and cheap bite, this place might do the job. But considering the long lines and how rushed the experience is, you might end up waiting longer than you actually get to sit and eat. Personally, I will not be coming back. I would rather get takeout or dine somewhere that lets you actually relax and enjoy your meal.

The menu is extensive and has a lot of options to pick from including seafood boil, baked dishes, bar food, pasta, etc. The servers were fairly nice but a bit slow, maybe because the patio wasn't very busy. You can order through the app, and the food came out very quickly after ordering.

Feels like a sports bar with multiple large screens airing all the sporting events and live games yet they serve much more than the typical sports bar would. They have everything from Hong Kong style cafe French toast to prawn and truffle with scrambled egg rice dishes to surf n ' turf! The restaurant is split into 2 sections that both serve the same food. You can be seated at either the cafe (more bright and airy) or the bar side which is more of a dim restaurant style feel. Alcohol and milk teas under one roof. Theres something thatll be sure to appeal to anyone. Had the black pepper chicken cheese bake over rice. Flavorful but too much sauce for my liking. We also tried the porkchop with creamy mushroom sauce. The pork chop was perfectly fried and juicy but the sauce was. It was served with a simple steamed brocoli. Lemon pepper wings and fries were great! Great spot in the developing Downtown Markham. Worth a stop.

Chicken wings and fries - Love me some salt and pepper wings. These one were lightly battered so gave a nice bite to the wings. Wings were well seasoned. Fries were also great, would get again.

I paid an additional $0.50 to add peanut butter, but only a third of it had peanut butter... Otherwise it was rather tasty though, so buttery. It's drizzled with lots of condensed milk and a slab of butter on top. If I were to get it again, I wouldn't bother with the peanut butter. The hk style milk tea is okay. Just a teeny bit oversteeped, and subtle tea flavour. The beef rice noodle was not evenly coated (still some white seen from the noodle), and oily. Didn't have 'wok hey' either. Limited beef pieces. Would not get again. Very modern looking inside, I suspect this place is rather new. Service is fine, but not busy at all when we went. There are better places, but I might come back to try their daily special (hainan ch on Monday).
