I first visited this cafe back in 2022 when it was newly opened, [[HIGHLIGHT]]this is a small Hong Kong styled cafe, tables are packed together and feel a bit cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With this visit, I felt the taste of foods has improved, prices were reasonable, portions were generous and services were on par. We ordered chicken rice, beef brisket rice and pork chop rice, they all tasted good and all served with seriously lots of rice :) ! I'd come visit again if I'm in Newmarket. read more

Round 2 - Lunch again, and again it is quite busy. Baked Bolognese Spaghetti - Cheesy top with spaghetti and tomato meat sauce. Tomato sauce was on the sweeter side, which is typical of the HK style. Lacked the heartiness of meat sauce, nice to try, but wouldn't get again. Hainanese Chicken Rice - Bone in chicken. Rice was lacking chicken flavour needed the soy sauce and ginger scallion sauce to add flavour. Chicken texture was good and sauce added flavour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for a family, we had a baby in our party and everyone was very nice to us![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

O Street Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

Definitely my favourite O'Street out of the two and this is the original O'Street Cafe. Wish they had a location in Markham too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please seems to have gone a revamp as tables and chairs have been updated to a different look, being all brown and beige, which I think it is kidn of ugly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't been there in ages and it seems they now give out free dessert after you mind but it is only one dessert per table. It is pretty much a milk pudding cut into 8 to 9 tiny pieces.. not sweet at all. I feel they should be giving though not just to each table but to each patron. Staff is eager to assist you and will check on you multiple times to make sure you are well taken care, even refilling tea a few times and making sure you got your desserts.. I never seen a hk cafe where the staff is so eager to please. My usualy is the baked pork choice rice butI ended up ordering the Beef Brisket Portuguese Rice Dish to try something and the sauce was very fragnant. Good amount of beef brisket and veggies in the dish. THeir hot plates are also very popular option. $1.25 extra for cold drinks. Parking lot is small as it shares with timmies and st-louis. Difficult to find parking during winter. read more

Food 4/5 Service 3.75/5 Ambience 2.75/5 [[HIGHLIGHT]]A busy cozy restaurant with tables closely packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was full on a Monday afternoon at about 2:30-3:00pm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Reasonably priced menu items. The portions are generous. We ordered: Double cheese baked spaghetti with meat sauce Baked beef brisket with Portuguese sauce on rice. Olive pork chop on rice. The pork is sliced. A beverage of either HK milk tea or lemon tea is included with the meal. A cold drink is at an extra cost. Two of us could not finish our dish and packed the leftovers to go. I think if I'm in the area again and I need a meal, I would return. The restaurant is part of a strip mall and parking is limited right outside the restaurant. read more

O Street Cafe - Baked braised beef brisket with Portuguese sauce and vegetables on rice. Generous serving. - Chinese Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

Came here to try their deep fried chicken legs as many people recommended it online. It is just so so for me and tasteless. The chicken skin is very crispy which is good... that's it! Maybe they can add an item about deep fried chicken skin. read more

I'm a big fan of HK cafes and this is one of them. The food is delicious, on point. It gives an authentic flavor. Portion and prices are pretty decent compared to other places. The service is efficient, waitresses were friendly. Would definitely be coming back. Highly recommend trying this place. read more

O Street Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

Support small and local businesses, particularly the great ones that offer good food! This one is located in Newmarket and we went by after an event. We decided to check this out as people have been talking about it. It's a small cozy cafe that provides quick service. We picked a couple of classics from the menu. Both the satay beef instant noodles and the pineapple butter bun (BLB) are very traditional HK-style comfort food. Nicely done with good flavor! The BLB was warm with a slight crisp on the surface. The salted butter slice was a thick cut. A bit oily but not too crazy. Good size and it comes with a cup of drink of your choice. Great value and tasty! Recommend stopping by and grab a quick bite if you go to Newmarket next time. read more

I wanted to try a different place and this piqued my interest because it has Hong Kong Cafe cafe vibes. I ordered takeout but went here to pick it up. Ambiance - 4/5: there was a decent amount of parking. When you go in, it is definitely a tiny place. There's not a lot of tables and seats. There's Hong Kong diner style LED light for the store name as well different artworks of Hong Kong. The place was packed when we went. Service - 3.75/5: I'm a little mixed. When I ordered on the phone, I was surprised that there's only 1 type of soup. We could only choose the drink - hot tea/coffee/lemon water or lemon tea. They told me not to come yet and that food would take 20 minutes to prepare. It took us 30 minutes to drive and we still had to wait another 10 minutes. The server initially gave me the receipt with a cash discount. But when I said I didn't have enough, she quickly took the receipt away so I didn't get a good look at it. I think it's roughly a 10% discount. They only accept debit or cash for payment options. We sat close to the door after we were told to keep waiting. Mutiple servers asked us if we were waiting for a table. We told them we were waiting for takeout. When the food was ready, the server was reluctant to give us the food. We has to explain that my husband and I are together. Food - 4/5: we got the Double Cheese Baked Pork Chop With Tomato Sauce on Fried Rice and Ginger and Onion Oil with Chicken Cutlet on Rice as well as 2 cups of hot milk tea with sugar in them (they ask us if we wanted sugar added over the phone). The soup was not bad - pork and chicken bones/chicken feet. It wasn't that salty. The soup portion was tiny (probably the size of a Jollibee's gravy cup). What's interesting is that if you dine in, the soup is provided in a cup (literally). The takeout Hong Kong milk tea is smaller than other cafes. The baked rice dish was fine, very saucy. The tomato sauce was on the sour side but tolerable. The chicken was good. It also comes with egg and broccoli x 2 pieces. Overall, both were big portions of food. On a side note, we saw one of the ladies making the red bean ice cream drink and we were tempted to get one on the spot. It looked good but not that big of a glass. Overall: 4/5 - I might stick to takeout. I can see the place potentially getting hot dining in because there is no air conditioning, just a small fan at the front door read more

This Hong Kong cafe is rather small & cramped - even on a Friday at lunch it was full with a lineup (I returned another day). It occupies the area Caribbean Street Grill used to be. They get 4.5 stars. Chicken wings were good - fresh, crispy & with the nice ginger taste of jardoo wings. They were bigger than usual for Asian wings. Sizzle plate pork chop, chicken, & fish fillet on spaghetti was good value & there was lots of protein. The black pepper sauce was decent but was insufficient to coat everything on the hotplate (especially the potatoes & vegetables). All 3 proteins were good & the fried fish was crispy & not too low grade. The spaghetti was rather dry but I tossed it in the drippings & it was ok. The soup that came with it was a bit dilute, but decent; oddly, it was served in a cup. The Hong Kong cold milk tea that came with it was the usual tannic drink, though more dilute than usual. read more

Solid 3.5 stars. Located off Bayview just north of Mulock. It is located within the Tim Horton's plaza. Parking is tight out front but plenty of parking in the larger lot beside Timmy's. There is plenty of seating in the alcove or directly beside the half open kitchen concept. Service is quick. Had the baked Portuguese beef brisket and the ginger onion beef stir fry over rice. Both comes with daily soup and a hot beverage (HK tea or coffee - other selections available for a nominal upgrade) The baked Portuguese rice sauce was nice and flavourful ontop of the egg fried rice base. The beef brisket was a little over braised but still had good flavour but the fried potatoes were a little disappointing as they tasted stale. The ginger onion beef over rice was a-ok with a very generous serving. The sauce was a tad salty but yummy none the less. Big plus for the complimentary daily soup (wish there was a choice of Chinese/ western but do appreciate the soup none the less) The milk tea was quite nice with a rich taste and smooth finish. Definitely a good spot to visit in NM. read more

It was my first time at this location and although it didn't seem as busy as the Richmond Hill location there was a bit of a wait even close to 8pm. The food portions are generous and prices are reasonable. I think it's a solid HK cafe in the area, especially given there aren't that many others close by. read more

Came here a year later and I don't necessarily think it has improved. Initially gave it a four star because of the limited options here in Newmarket but since then there's new hk style restaurants opened. This time we ordered a cheese baked tomato pork chop rice 13.99 and deep fried chicken wings with egg and pasta $13.99 from the lunch menu. The pork chop rice tastes alright but too much rice, too many bones on the pork chop and not enough sauce. Also the fried rice wasn't fried properly, and so there's white chunk lump together. The cheese on the rice smells very good though. For the pasta, also could use more sauce. The broccoli doesn't have the brightest green so look less appetizing. However the chicken wings were great with good seasoning and piping hot. There's soup that come with the lunch meal but there isn't a choice of Chinese soup or borscht. They just gave us Chinese soup. Staff could be more friendly. They are still a very busy place despite the fact that the food is mediocre and the seating environment isn't the nicest. I much prefer Pine house or Golden harbor where food taste better and staff more friendly. Also taking cash and debit only unlike other similar restaurants. read more

Service: 4/5 Food: 2/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 This was my second time coming to this restaurant with my parents. The first time was pretty good so we decided to go again. The first time we ate dinner there, so we decided to go at lunch on a holiday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is a bit small and cramped especially when there's a full house. When we got there, we saw a long line of people waiting awkwardly inside which made the cramped space even more cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Luckily we got a spot pretty quickly. The food this time was very disappointing. I have to preface that my parents are very critical Hong Kong born and raised people so their judgment of the food was a lot harsher than mine. Since we tried the sizzling plates last time, we decided to try their usual menu this time. My mom ordered the double cheese meat and tomato sauce spaghetti. The toppings were scarce and the taste was bland, other than the top layer of cheese and minced, the rest was just dried pasta. My mom had to borrow some of my dad's leftover curry sauce to finish her spaghetti. I ordered the cream sauce spaghetti. Now unlike my mom's tomato sauce mind was swimming in sauce, literally. The thickness you expect from regular cream sauce wasn't there, the whole thing felt watery and not enough cheese. My dad said that the beef brisket was pretty soft and good though the sauce lacked curry flavor and spice. Overall very disappointing and seeing as we drove quite a far distance to go there, we will likely not be going back. read more

The cafe is located in the strip plaza beside Tim Hortons. It's a little hidden if you don't know where you are going. Authentic Hong Kong style Borscht soup served in a cup - not too spicy nor sour. It is very rich with beef flavour. The assorted steak combo served in a hot sizzling plate is large in portion and taste great. HK Milk tea tastes just like the ones in Hong Kong. read more

Arrived right at 2:30pm thinking there would be less people on a Monday but nope - it was packed! Ordered the double cheese baked spaghetti with meat sauce (which took quite some time), black pepper beef spaghetti, iced lemon tea and hot milk tea. The lemon tea was really good, probably coz it was quite humid yesterday. The black pepper beef spaghetti was excellent and loads of ingredients! The double cheese was also very flavorful. Service wasn't too bad but food did take some time especially soup noodles and baked dishes. Still my fav cha chan tang in newmarket! read more

Awesome HK cafe in Newmarket! I'm so happy to see more and more HK cafes popping up in the northern part of York region. I don't have to drive all the way to markham to get my fix! This restaurant is really a perfect representation of why I love HK cafes; excellent value, no frills, come as you are, comfort food! The dinner menu, although smaller than other HK cafes has all the hits, from sizzling platters to baked pasta/rice dishes, even some stir fried dishes, there is something for everyone. They also have really decent looking lunch and breakfast specials at high value prices. The portions here are huge! They definitely do not skimp on portion size so although the meals might be $2-3 higher than some markham spots, you'll be sure to take home leftovers for a second meal, or you can opt to share to save even more money. I've tried the meat sauce baked spaghetti, pork chop baked rice and have sampled some other dishes and they were all really nicely done! I'm not sure it's the absolute best but it's very much on par with similar restaurants with the added bonus of the portion sizes being so huge. The meals come with a drink and a soup which has been their red cabbage soup. I love the soup! I've also had their iced lemon tea and iced ovaltine which have both been perfect for the hot weather. Cold drinks are an extra $1.25. The restaurant itself is cozy but not particularly fancy. The tables and chairs are a bit beaten up but it's clean and spacious. The servers are very nice and the food is quite quick to come out. Sometimes the food does not arrive at the same time but that's to be expected at these types of restaurants. The second time we went as a party of 8 and although it's a small space that was quite busy, they were able to accommodate by moving tables around which I thought was really nice. Overall I really like this HK cafe and have recommended it to family and friends. I will certainly be back to try more dishes! read more

I actually live 30 minutes drive away from O'Street Cafe. But this is already my second time here since they open. Service is friendly and excellent. They are very nice and accommodating in a sense that if you arrive earlier then the dinner menu starts (dinner menu is from 5:30pm-8:00pm daily) we were able to order off the dinner menu. I had the satay beef vermicelli and egg sandwich including a drink for $9.99. (Hot drinks not additional charge but cold drinks additional $1.00-2.00) Special combos from 11:00am-8:00pm daily. They serve sizzling plates, steak serving on a sizzling plate with the option of rice or spaghetti and vegetables on the side. Hard to find these days and only for $24.99! I wish they are located closer to my home, so wanted to say people who live around here are lucky to have them around. But I will come back to try other items such as the fishballs vermicelli noodle in soup. read more

The good: This is the second HK cafe to open in the Newmarket area (much needed!). I came here for dinner and would say that the food is very tasty!! There's a good selection to choose from and many ranging from $15 range. The bolognese spaghetti was delicious and a generous portion! It also comes as a set with soup served in a cup and a drink. The service is efficient and friendly. The bad or needs improvement: I think it's the area but they do close fairly early (could be the plaza). The drink and soup is alright compared to other cafes. read more

Saw this restaurant on the way to a bike shop. It's not very big but it's fully packed. Came before noon time and had to line up in a queue. I ordered a red bean iced drink and a chicken leg with spaghetti. Red Bean Iced tasted good, not too sweet and refreshing. The red beans were soft and sweet. The balance of evaporated milk and the red beans was good. Deep fried chicken leg with Spaghetti is good. The chicken leg was huge. The outside was crispy and inside was soft and tender. The portion was big. I could not finish everything. This restaurant is a gem in Newmarket. read more

This is a new HK cafe that opened in Newmarket (thank god!) We came on a Sunday lunch, and it was a full house. Fortunately if you have a group of 2 or less, it'll be much faster as we only waited less than 10 mins. The menu features breakfast items, combos, lunch, happy hour, popular (all day) and dinner options. We ordered the Satay Beef in Vermicelli, as well as Ginger Oil Fried Chicken in rice, and they came fairly quickly. I was surprised with the amount of beef pieces I got in the vermicelli as many spots I've been to only gave a couple. It would be perfect if the satay sauce had abit more flavour. The fried chicken pieces were pleasantly crispy with the ginger oil on top. Although my only complaint would be that I wish the rice wasn't so oily (could be from the ginger oil and fried chicken cutlet) Overall the staff was pretty polite, and I'd definitely recommend you to come visit if you're around. We will be back :) IG: Ayenomz read more

Great hidden gem for a HK restaurant in Newmarket. I was able to check this place out during their happy hour menu times. They have a good variety of options here for food. It was busy when I went in but I ordered take out and was given my meal in a reasonable time. I would love the chance to dine in here one day so I can have the meal fresh. I wasn't able to eat my meal until an hour later because I brought it home to share. It was still great, I can't even remember what I ordered but I remember it still being good lol. I saw some of the meals coming out of the kitchen while I waited for my take out and ....omg looked amazing. Can't wait to be able to sit in and try some other things next time! read more

Finally a Hong Kong style cafe in the north! Apparently it has opened for about a month and a bit, but we didn't notice til my mother came across another YouTuber that mentioned this place. Came here on a Saturday brunch time, it was already PACKED!! It wasn't a huge cafe/ restaurant, so if you planned to come with the whole fam, plan wisely. It was only the 2 of us so we got sited right away (at a corner with a small table). They have quite an options to choose from- breakfast, lunch, dinner, all-day, happy hour, etc. We have order the Satay Beef in Vermicelli with egg sandwich (changed to rice noodles), Special Poached chicken w/ rice, and Signature french toast w/ sea salt cream. Both vermicelli and the chicken came with a drink so we opted for HK milk tea and salted lime 7-up. The satay beef has a decent amount of sliced beef and quite tender, but I wished it would have a bit more sauce and a tad bit flavour (salt). The chicken rice was very similar to most places' Hainanese Chicken Rice (one of my favourite dish in the whole world), tender and soft pieces of chicken, however the chicken didn't have much meat in it so it was a little disappointing. The dipping sauces were garlic soy sauce and minced ginger- garlic soy just simply diced garlic with a few dashes of soy sauce. The french toast was quite unique with the bread cut into 4 thick sticks which I thought was a little thoughtful. The whole combination of flavour was sweet, creamy, a little bit of saltiness, however, the bread did soak up the cream quickly. Salted lime 7-up... very disappointed. Rather than break up the lime a little to bring out its natural flavour, they simply cut a salted lime in half and dumped into your cup... oh, did I mention they only give you HALF A LIME? Barely any flavour in my drink, totally missing the saltiness I was hoping to have. Overall, a lot needs to be improved- service and flavour, as well as table arrangements. read more

Happy to have this place here in Newmarket/Aurora area! And YES! They have sizzling grill plate! It's totally legit now! But so expect a wait. They are super busy on weekends and parking is a bit tight, if there's a game going on at St Louis next door. They also have HK cafe breakfast !! Hidden gem for sure and unless you do a drive by and really paid attention, you will totally miss it. Would never have expected a HK cafe at this part of town and definitely not in this plaza. They are not with any food delivery service (that's why we never noticed this place when we do food delivery orders) BTW - they do close early. 8p every day ... they also close WEDNESDAY! read more

Likely the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Newmarket. About a month after the Caribbean Street Grill closed, O Street Café opened. Totally redone interior and a totally different menu. Every sign on the wall is written in Chinese. The only English writing is the name of the restaurant. Oh, and the place was absolutely packed with happy Chinese diners. I think I might be onto something. I ordered the Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Soup, and an order of Deep Fried Chicken Wings. The soup was delicately flavoured with tender braised beef and lettuce, on a load of rice noodles. The wings were a pretty substantial size, and ultra crispy. I had a cold Hong Kong Coffee to wash it all down. The menu looks rather unfamiliar to me, with a lot of options I will need to try. This won't be my only visit here, obviously! read more

This is the second HK style cafe to open up in Newmarket! The food is slightly different than the original one, definitely more HK style. We got the chicken steak and egg rice- sauce was very good and huge portion, salty and spicy pork chop rice - not what we were expecting but tasty, and baked portuguese chicken rice- taste was good but definitely a very small portion. From what I noticed today, the pan fry meat and egg with rice portions are huge whereas all the baked dishes are very small. I am willing to come back and try some of their other menu items! The ladies working were very friendly and efficient. We had no issues with service or speed but I can see where some of these complaints are coming from because many tables were waiting a while for food or for the ladies to help them out. They have many front of house staff for such a tiny place. The restaurant is very small so be prepared for a wait during busy times. If you have kids, the washroom is big enough for you to bring them which was a surprise for this type of restaurant. read more

Came here for dinner, it's nice to see there's more HK cafe in the area. Place is small, hard to get a seat. The food is average compare to what's in Markham. Tried the signature special poached chicken on rice and bbq pork with egg on rice. Chicken was cooked okay, but none of the pieces are actually connected to each other. They just grabbed pieces of chicken here and there and piece them together. You won't see these practice in Markham. Most pieces do not have much meat on there. The rice is tasteless. The BBQ pork is not bad. I took off a star because of the horrible service. The waitress is some lady who probably has no experience at all. Typical HK cafe is about speed and efficient service while getting the order correct. The waitress ask us to put the number corresponded to the items on the menu. When we hand In the order, she still have to go back to the menu and matches the description of the food. So what's the point of writing the letters/numbers. Some item we specified we want rice, she still asks us if we want rice or pasta. Is she even looking at what we write? We have three people (2 adult and 1 kid), she came back with only two sets of utensils. So we ask for one more set. She asks us, didn't you guys order just one dish? I am thinking WTF? You are the one that took the order. How's that possible. Then when the dish came, she brought it to the wrong table. And I saw the food for the table beside us was delivered wrong too. Anything that can go wrong went wrong. I will not come back to this restaurant. It's not worth it. If you live in the area, then I guess there's not much choices. read more

Great HK style breakfast. Yummy satay beef definitely will come pack to try lunch and dinner.

The 2 stars are SOLELY for the food and beverage. It was delicious by Newmarket standards. Food comment see below. But the 3 stars are deducted for several reasons: 1. The restaurant is NOT FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis. We were second couple in line waiting for a table, with a couple before us. A group of 5 entered when a table that seats 4 is cleared. The staff insisted that the group of 5 should be seated in the empty table. I kindly rejected the offer and another staff decides to give the seat to the couple before us. Then another table that seats 4 is being cleared a few minutes later and without asking, the staff again seated the group of 5, hence making the start of the experience unpleasant. Customer service 3/10. 2. When seated, the chair was actually broken. The seat was not attached to the chair. When the drinks came, the cup was chipped. This does not feel like the restaurant was newly opened. Environment 5/10 3. We ordered the chef's recommendations, which was their infamous chicken rice and cheesy mushroom/bacon spaghetti. The food waiting time for the spaghetti was 13 minutes, average by cafe standards. But the chicken rice came at the 27 minute mark. We asked a staff to update us/check on the order but did not receive an update from her. "It's on its way" would have been suffice. I had already finished my meal when the chicken rice arrived. The reason for the 2 stars: The milk tea has a good tea base, texture was silky smooth with no residual tea leaves. It is the best HK style milk tea you can get in Newmarket/Aurora area. Their infamous chicken meat was smooth even though it was thoroughly cooked. The spaghetti had just enough flavoring without tasting too salty. It has a good amount of bacon in relation to the spaghetti. Pricing is very decent and I appreciate a HK style cafe opening up in Newmarket. But due to the above reasons, I may choose to order takeout to prevent any negative experience from dining in. I absolutely recommend the food, and it was worth trying. But definitely can do better in the customer service department. read more

It was ok...a fair hong kong style restaurant. Drinks sometimes would arrive after the food was served...so that's was funny.
