A friend recommended this place for authentic Cantonese cuisine, and it absolutely delivered. Every dish felt true to tradition--it genuinely gave us that "back in Hong Kong" experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the space itself was impressively clean and more spacious than expected. Most importantly, the food was outstanding. I'd definitely recommend checking it out--just stay aware of your surroundings when walking around the neighborhood, as you would in most busy Chinatown areas.

Still 5 stars - I dont think I have ever tasted such flavorful, juicy, and succulent roast meats- it is that good ! Their milk tea is Love this place! I always ask for the dark meat- a few dollars more but so worth it!

SANDY'S famous for their Chinese barbecue products。We parked at the Cultural Center and paid $4 for two hours。 Hubs wanted roast duck+bbq pork over rice $21--pork has half fat/half lean meat which is superbly done, melts in your mouth! I had the Baked pork chop in tomato sauce over fried rice-- differently done, fresh tomatoes were used instead of tomato paste and the chops are simply pan fried instead of deep fried with crumbs; the fried rice even has wok flavour and it's a generous amount, $23 We even bought bbq pork for take out。$18 Restaurant was full, a lot of take outs, a lil noisy of course⋯⋯service was surprisingly good with the wait staff filling up your complimentary water/tea。 Do drop by Sandy's if you are in the vicinity, recommend!

Fast service and a family friendly restaurant. Many grand with their grandchildren enjoying a family Sunday meal. Take-out is a great option. A local favorite as almost everyone is speaking Cantonese. The deli for cooked roast pork and char siu is legit. Everything is freshly made.

If you don't know where to go to lunch, just follow the crowd and you won't be lead wrong. Funny, but that is how I first discovered Sandy's Cafe years ago. You'll see the various meats hanging in the butcher's corner. They are known for their roast duck. The duck and char siu are juicy and full of flavor. I have dined on serval occasions here and they were out of duck.....so sad. Service is typical of a Chinese restaurant. If you want something, use your voice.

Despite the location Sandy's Cafe is an oasis with clean interior, friendly staff and delicious food. We came at 10 minutes before their 2pm closing. Waitress welcomed us in and gave us menus explaining they were sold out of the rice dishes with the char sui and duck. Bummers! But they had the noodle dishes. We ordered the beef chow fun and the gau gee noodles with the milk teas. While we waited we noticed the bright clean interior and the layout of the tables that's great for meeting with friends. Food came out quickly piping out. The gau gee noodle had crispy noodles and 4 huge gau gee with a side of mustard. The beef chow fun had that wonderful wok heat and essence. Everything was delicious. Love the crunchy noodles in the gau gee noodle with the brown gravy. Love the thick noodles with veggies in the beef chow fun. The milk teas were like the Hong Kong milk teas perfectly milky and sweet...so refreshing and nice dessert option too. Will definitely return to try rice dishes! Yummy!

Shucks, they were out of duck :( Although we arrived at a time that they were sold out of this prized entree, it wasn't a total loss because I had another dish that totally fulfilled my other craving! Let me describe their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles :) To me, the most important part of this dish is the cake noodles. Having been on the mainland for four years and not having access to cake noodles was torture. The cake noodles at Sandy's was spot on, perfect! This totally met my needs LOL * Top and bottom of each cake noodle, there's an excellent golden crispness which comes from the perfect combination of heat, oil, and cookware....Check! * Inside each cake noodle, there's an excellent texture and chewiness from properly cooking and draining the noodles before frying it. Their noodles aren't too thick or too thin....Check! * Flavor from their sauce over the cake noodles was tasty and not too salty. I am sensitive to MSG and this dish was quite enjoyable. I knew this was prepared fresh, made to order because the cake noodles were not at all soggy, great job.....Check! Last but certainly not least, their Minute Chicken was so yummy! Boneless, skinless, tender morsels of tasty chicken was so ono! Again, this part of the dish wasn't too salty. Thank you for a memorable dining experience. Will certainly return another time for their duck!

Finally got to eat at Sandy's. A fellow Elite told me the win tonight won tonight mein was really good. He was right! Serviced was great, restaurants was very clean... won ton was spot on! Broth tasty, noodles were nice and firm and won tons were full of tasty pork and shrimp. We also share the roast duck/ char siu on rice. It was good. I just prefer the duck from Mei Mei bbq. People very nice and they have a take out menu

So happy to finally try Sandy's Cafe. They are located in the Chinese Cultural Plaza on the first level by the water. My husband raves about their roast duck and since he's working from home today, I picked up lunch for us. I called in the order and it was ready when I got there. I was in and out in 15 minutes so parking was free. It was so easy! My husband got the roast duck/ginger chicken combo on rice and I love minute chicken cake noodle so I had to get that. They separate the sauce so the noodles do not get soggy. The minute chicken and the cake noodles were really good! The noodles are skinnier than other places but it was very tasty and the portion is very generous. My husband ate his whole plate so it must've been good. 10/10 I would go back again to Sandy's Cafe. I can see why they are so busy and some days they run out of the roast duck.

Not quite 5 stars because it's a little pricey compared to peers but willing to give the benefit of doubt because of the fantastic char siu. Yes the char siu is by far the best in town. Moist well seasoned and marinated all the way thru. Had some burnt ends not too sweet or salty. But it's much more than Mei Mei. The ung choy is excellent. Fried in a high heat wok with generous garlic... The perfect compliment to any other fish. Lo mein is ok... Slightly overcooked and too soft. The shrimp roe flavor is good however. Fried fish is ok too.. not too oily or aggressively seasoned. Overall recommend this place but be aware of the slightly higher prices. Portions are on the smaller side. Service is excellent and don't feel you have to know Cantonese to order or get help.

omg this is one of my most favorite restaurants ever. i've been coming here for about three years now and it's so so good. i always get the roast duck lo mein with extra duck sauce and chili oil - it's so good. the duck is so juicy and the noodles are perfect, not dry and not soggy from the sauce. in singapore, duck noodles were probably my favorite dish and sandy's makes it exactly the same. staff are friendly, they know my order!! restaurant is very clean. park in the chinatown cultural plaza lot, or you can find plenty street parking too.

Located in the Chinese Cultural Plaza in Chinatown. With Hong Kong Cafe vibes you'll find it loud, full of Chinese patrons (always a good sign for a Chinese food establishment). The roast duck and char siu over rice should always be a go to. Today, they said pork belly was used to make their char siu. Never had that before but it was delicious. Not too fat as I had worried. We lucked out and got the dark meat pieces of the duck with our order. Normally it is a $1 extra per request. I saw others eating it and was curious so got their baked porkchop over egg fried rice with tomato sauce and cheese. It took a long time because it's made to order and is scalding hot so be careful. It was alright. I dunno I would get it again. Love their HK cold milk tea. Super strong.

Clean busy Hong Kong style eatery featuring duck, noodle and rice dishes. Located on the river side of The Chinese Curtiral Plaza. Generous portions made it fun for our party of 7 to share dishes family style. I got the wonton mein which came with thin egg noodles. It was pretty good with decent sized shrimp , but I enjoyed some of the other dishes more, except for the shredded pork chow funn. I really like my aunt's crispy cake noodles which were soft on the inside. She got it with crispy gau chee (I'm not a fan) so I would order it with minute chicken instead. Mom got mushroom and duck feet lo mein, a new dish for us which we liked! The beef with black pepper sauce on rice was tender and the roast duck was juicy and moist with crispy skin. The place was busy with lots of Chinese speaking diners which is always a good sign! You can also take out chicken and duck which are hanging.
