* Decent HK cafe * Perhaps outside of the Vancouver area this would be a 4 star. But Kam Do (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/kam-do-restaurant-and-bakery-richmond-2#hrid:QQbzRuPgzbeCSJUfrulNPQ) is just across the street, and much better for my taste. I started off with the cold HK style milk tea. Served in a plastic glass, the tea was not as strong as like (my guess is they poured hot tea over a lot of ice that melted) and way too sweet for my taste. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/RfNSgDWYQXcZd6zqCPIEAQ?select=G3rE0Nhl07G9aXfWisZwHQ The baked pork chop on rice had a nice layer of cheese on top, but the tomato sauce was a bit bland. The rice itself was a bit too mushy and didn't have any veggies I could find. There was a little bit of egg in it. The pork chop itself was overcooked and the breading was too thick for my liking.

(It was the guy across the way at another table that did). Ok, I'm being a bit harsh perhaps - but it is in the heart of an area where they would simply have to do better to get my return business. read more

I have good news. Silver Tower officially has the best Baked pork chop on rice in Richmond. I thought it was Deer Garden- I was almost going to stop my search at deer garden! And then I came here and ate a more delicious BPOR and I can't believe I was going to STOP trying at Deer Garden! I've tried about twenty baked pork chops in Vancouver, Richmond and Hong Kong: https://www.facebook.com/melissafong/posts/10155699461065408?pnref=story Silver Tower comes in first in richmond- second overall (Goldstone in Chinatown is still the best). I'm definitely going to be a regular here. Even better- I saw my friends' meals- they got the 3 items for 13$ and boy, did it look delicious. Thick cut meats, moist, lots of sauce, high quality- panko crusted filets. This is my new HK Cafe spot in Richmond! read more

Silver Tower Cafe Restaurant - Very good baked porkchop on rice. Tied with deer garden for the best one ! - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

BEWARE very rude service and suspect food hygene. Severs also took over 45 minutes to bring us our milk tea

I have masterminded a lot of evil late-night plans here, and the restaurant has has masterminded some interesting combinations for their dishes. I have been here on MANY occasions, mostly for late night eats. I've had macaroni and tuna baked with a cream sauce to unagi on rice with a fried egg to French toast. All are pretty good. The only thing mediocre about this place is the parking and the service, which is almost to be expected. My friends love the combo specials where you get the pick two or three meat items, and the dish comes with spaghetti or rice and your choice of sauce. I appreciate how some of the dishes come with a drink and soup. The Asian style borsch is yummy; I could drink a whole vat of that stuff. If you're on a budge and it's late and you're uber hungry, try this place; I'm pretty sure you'll like it. read more

Went there for lunch, food was good. Parking was not! As it was lunch time, designated parking for Silver Tower Cafe were full, I had to park at the front of the mall. I got a $80 parking ticket for parking in the mall that has restaurants in that mall. I am not going back to Silver Tower Cafe Restaurant again. The parking ticket has left a bad taste in my mouth. I am giving it a 2 star because of the terrrible parking... Sorry Silver Tower, read more

honestly, there are few places in the metro vancouver area that is open this late and are accessible to most, if not all taste buds. it's basically the traditional hong kong style chaa-chaan-teng, so nothing fancy or upscale (and it doesn't pretend to be). service can be a little slow at times, but then again, if you're going out for a late night snack at 11:30, you're probably not in a rush to get home to get home for the night anyway. reliably tasty. open late. doesn't require you to be super chatty - servers will gladly leave you alone. sometimes that's just what you need. read more

A local Hong Kong style cafe. Great lunch deals with free HK style coffee or tea. I had the duck and preserved style fried rice and the portion was huge. My friend had the mix and match combo that comes with lots of options. If you love Chinese fusion head on ova! read more

Parking can be difficult here, although COVID-19 has made that easier. It's a fairly standard hong kong cafe, but the food and prices are good and reasonable. Better than average. We like to get take out from here, especially in "these uncertain times". They're in a good location that is in central Richmond, which makes it a good place for take out. They used to not accept credit card, but they do now, which is great. Maybe they started when COVID happened. read more

Been going here for years!! Always such good portion and the flavours are out of this world. Brisket curry. JUST GET IT.

A Hong Kong style cafe with set menus and low prices. Parking can be a little hard to find since it's usually full and driving to/in Richmond can be a pain in the ass, but I like eating here when I'm in the area. The "mini" set meals are usually what I go for and they aren't exactly mini. They usually end up becoming lunch and then a snack later on. I ordered the Baked Lobster and Bacon on Rice dish today. The meal came with an option of a hot drink and the total was $8.95. Of course it's not fresh lobster, but the combo of lobster, bacon and white sauce on rice is comfort food for me. I felt all warm and satisfied after eating this. The service is average or sometimes pretty good for an Asian restaurant. Don't mean to stereotype, but you know it's true. read more

Had a congee dish. Wow this was bland. Had to add some salt to keep things going. read more

Silver Tower Cafe Restaurant - Bland congee~ - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Service 2/5 stars Food: 3/5 stars Service was horrible, but what do you expect...this is a Chinese restaurant. Spontaneously, we were hungry at night, so we looked up a place to eat. I ordered: Preserved egg congee: 3/5--the congee came out really hot! I really appreciate that! Tip: Parking at night (11pm) can be problematic, so don't drive your nicest car to this plaza. read more

Price is reasonable. The service is good. When the server talked to their regular customer. She took off the mask. I am sure they were not in the same core bubble read more

We ordered pork and eggplants hotpot, Singapore stir fried vermicelli noodles, salt and pepper tofu. Prices are reasonable. The dishes include rice. The noodles do not come with rice. They serve choice of creme or tomato soup. They also serve complimentary hot tea. One of our dishes came with a choice of drink from the menu. We like the food. The servers do not speak much English. For people who are not used to the typical Chinese restaurants in the area, one would think the servers are rude because of how they responded. They also require customers to pay at the front. So basically this is a minimal service restaurant. read more

I love getting HK style breakfast mostly because of how packing their sandwiches are!! I was full after one and had to give the rest to my dad this is their classic club sandwich, comes with cheese, ham, tomato, lettuce, bacon & eggs with a side of fresh fries!! read more

For Hong Kong Cafes I have to admit, that I eat here enough to enjoy it and know what I like. Actually, I don't dine here as much as I eat their food. Today, I came by to get some din din for my hunbun cause she's been working so hard and forgot to bring her dinner to work. I got the Ma Po Tofu and the Szechuan green beans (the usual dishes we eat). I usually eat for lunch the bitter melon, beef and rice dish (and kinda skip the rice lately) and have had breakfast here with my son. Never had anything bad which is usually good for a Hong Kong Cafe. Trouble is that parking is sometimes hard to find during peak hours and it can deter me from coming because of this. read more

We stopped by for a late lunch and ordered a rice and a pasta dish. Both items included a drink. Food was the standard HK style cafe fare. I found my Portuguese style chicken on rice was mostly potatoes and a few pieces of chicken. The sauce was decent. My milk tea was standard. read more

A late night adventure for us. We ordered 2 dishes to share for the 3 of us, and it was definitely more than enough. - XO fried udon: not too oily, noodles were cooked nicely. - Spinach, cheese, and fish hot dish: this is one of my favourite HK-style casseroles, and The only thing was that after the meal, we were all kind of thirsty/had scratchy throats, which probably means that there's plenty of MSG used here. Oh well, at least the meal tasted good while it lasted haha. Anywho, it was a nice welcome back meal and some nice HK-style comfort food. read more

My parents love taking me here for dinner for their a la carte traditional Chinese (Cantonese) dishes. They can never pass up a good deal. Each traditional Chinese dish is around $10-12 and comes with a free bowl of white rice AND a bowl of soup (choice of Chinese borscht, cream of corn, or traditional Chinese broth). We usually get 4 dishes to share among 3 people and we always leave with leftovers. Our favourite dishes include: 1. Menu #5B - Beef Brisket Hot Pot ($10.95) 2. Menu #8B - Assorted Seafood, Meat & Deep Fried Tofu Hot Pot ($11.25) 3. Menu #10B - Shredded Pork & Eggplant Hot Pot ($10.50) 4. Menu #24B - Deep Fried Pork Chop with Honey Garlic Sauce ($11.25) 5. Menu #35B - Malaysian Style Fried Shredded Pork & Green beans $10.50) The food is actually quite good, but service has recently gone down (even by Chinese standards) which is why I'm not giving it 4 stars. read more

My friend had to work late one night so I offered to pick her up and drive her to her car in Richmond. Since we were out anyways we ended up going for a late night snack. Lets see I picked her up at about 130 am so where can you go for a late night snack in Richmond at 2 am? We wanted to go to Neptune Seafood Restaurant for their hot pot drunken chicken. When we got there their doors were closing so we were SOL.... Anyways, there are only 2 places in Richmond that I can think of that serves decent Chinese food at 2 am.... Number 9 and Silver Tower Cafe. We ended up at Silver Tower. For what it is Silver Tower is pretty good. They serve up some pretty tasty early morning rice and noodle dishes for hungry Asians who should be asleep as opposed to stuff more food in their bellies! Haha We ordered 3 things... a beef noodle dish, salted chicken egg rice dish, and fried chicken wings with fries. They were all good! I liked the fried chicken wings and french fries. Super crispy. Overall, there are not a lot of food alternatives at 2 am, but Silver Tower Cafe is certainly one of your better ones! Oh by the way I got home at about 4 am and got to bed at about 5 am that day.... iyah.... the things I do for people hey? Hahaha! read more

The portion size is massive for what little it charges! I was also amazed by how good every tasted. Everything on the menu is around $9-21, and sers are about $17,18 with starter soup and side drink. The only complaint i have is that the utensils are not very clean, and servers are def not as friendly as some other restaurants. read more

The cost performance was very good. But taste was so so. I ordered the mix and match which includes grilled basa fillet and cutlet chicken. The side dish was so big size and there were soup and beverages. But just the chick taste good, others were not fresh enough. Some of my colleagues did not feel good after they had lunch here. I am ok. read more

Silver Tower is definitely solid as a HK cafe. I'm a sucker for a) lots of and b) a variety of food. So I got the three item combo with grilled pork chop, pork cutlet and korean bbq ribs - with one and a half helpings of rice. The boys all laughed at me because a) I ordered two types of pork and three types of meat, and b) I ordered an extra bowl of rice (although I didn't want to be too piggish so I gave half to my friend. Can I say that I didn't think it was going to be that much food, but it fills you up. Nice portions of pork cutlet and grilled pork and the pepper gravy is super. A perfect meal and place with the boys after hockey. It's nice to have that meal sandwiched by some great cream soup and a nice glass of milk tea. MMM. You can't beat the price for taste and portion. read more

It's quite surprising for me to give such high ratings to these chinese cafes but love how it's open real late, like 3am, and sure it's not like No.9 Chinese in terms of hours, but the booth seating's better here and so is the service. Granted, a lot smaller. My fav dessert here is the asian version of french toast, with the orange colour, kaya, in the middle ;) come to think of it, the food's not too bad. Gets the extra star b/c we don't ever feel rushed as we can hang for hours; try getting that No.9! parking's always a b*tch in Richmond but esp. in this plaza but take a chance with the bigger lot beside it lol. read more

Came here for their late night mini sets. I got their curry beef brisket which was not bad. It also includes a hot drink. Total was a little over $10. I liked that they're not super busy and don't rush you out or give you your food in a haste. read more

good service good food/ I haven't tasted anything bad so far parking can be a hassle family friendly average price / similar to other Hong Kong style cafes/ big portions if i had to choose 1 dish: salmon with lemon sauce would I go back? Yes read more

This place is known for their baked rice and fried rice. The must try is their baked tomato pork chop on rice. It isn't too salty and the pork chop is tender. Each morsel of rice is covered with a nice yellow colour which means it is fully coated with a thin layer of egg. My only problem is the lack of parking but overall it is a good place to eat with family or with a large group of friends read more

We were driving around Richmond looking for a place to eat at 11:30pm. We were all skeptical about a HK style cafe, as food in such places tend to be indigestible at best. But we were pleasantly surprised with this place. The food was tasty and huge portions for the price. Kudos to them for being so generous with their prawns. We ordered shrimp and egg flat noodles and the dish was covered with huge, succulent prawns. Their house special chow mein was also laced with tons of seafood. Now I know where to go for a late night meal! read more

For what we order, which is selected your own combo of chicken and beef steak with gravy. It was pretty good and the amount was huge! Also, ordered a backed chicken beef bolognese with cheese and they really filled it up to the top. Both dishes were huge and we barely finished it. Both meals came with soup and coffee/tea which is great. The only thing is the hot milk tea is still lacking in flavour and they out too much milk... Nowhere close to HK milk tea. read more

You can't go wrong with HK style restaurants that open late.. The only downside is the parking sucks! u might have better luck parking on the street and even that might be a little difficult on a Friday and Saturday night. after you spend more than 10 minutes waiting for a parking spot and fighting 2 BMW's for the same spot, In we go... Once you sit down, you pretty much got your usual suspects. The set menu. The late night menu and the regular menu.. I'm usually spending a but load of time just trying to pic a damn item which really pisses off my wife.. haha.. I finally order my usual Baked pork chop on rice. My favorite! Rice, sweet tomato sace pork chop more tomato sauce and baked with sexy gooey cheese. MMMM DAMMNN!!!!!! finish that of with some Ice lemon tea and I'm a happy camper :D This place is also easy on the good ol wallet :) read more

Due to the lack of parking, I have completely forgotten about this place. Recently, we've been out on some late nights on the hunt for iced milk tea and HK style cafe food. Even on weekday nights, the parking can be packed. Inside, it's never too full though, Their menu has a lot of selection, there's something for everyone. I love how they have so many different kinds of baked dishes. Upon scrolling through their menu, I spotted something that could not possibly be true. Baked bolognese spaghetti with ox tongue!! My two favourite things to order at a HK style cafe (among other things), and here it is, all baked in one dish. You should have seen how excited I was. When it arrived, I was pretty excited. One bite and I knew I made the right choice. The meat sauce wasn't too saucy, nor too meaty, and the strips of ox tongue in there made it so good. The iced milk tea isn't great here, but it does its job. Service is the typical HK style cafe ones, so don't expect anything great. They did let us, however, sit and chat for over an hour. read more

We used to come to Silver Tower a lot when we lived in the area, usually for late night food which was good. Sometimes we were there when Matsuyama's wait was too long too. More recently, we've been going to Silver Tower for their breakfast, however. They offered the typical A+B style of breakfast where you would order toast, eggs done any style, and some sort of protein (luncheon meat, ham, sausage, etc.) along with some sort of noodle in soup. We have Asian breakfast at least once a week, so this place probably would be #3 or #4 on my list. The service isn't great, but the portions are decent. Stars taken away for the fact that half the time when I get my noodle in soup, my noodles are usually clumped into a ball that I have to separate myself. Doesn't really look super appetizing when you add satay beef sauce in there too. Anyway, it's a solid choice. We go back if we're in Richmond but otherwise, we'd probably prefer The Boss, Duotian, or Oscar instead. read more

Good HK cafe. Nothing amazing but I've never had a meal I can say is bad here. Everything on the menu is pretty decent. The service isn't great... But it's a typical asian place. You don't go there for the service. read more

When we first tried this place two years ago, we were staying at the hotel next door and was truly impressed with this HK Cafe style restaurant. We come up to Richmond several times a year and visited Silver Tower. What started as a 3.5 to 4 Star experience years ago has dropped to a 1.5 to 2 star experience. This is solely based on the food. Service has always been good/average. What really set me off this time was our latest visit two days ago. After a short flight from where we live, I was really looking forward to some good HK style food for dinner which we do not have in Vegas. I was disappointed that they would use hor-fun past their shelf life. I ordered a beef hor-fun where the hor-fun was no longer soft and chewy, but rather dry and a little hard. We also ordered a Yin-Yang chicken and pork cutlet rice. Beware though it is called "Yin-Yang," it is not the same as I have had where the ingredients are different on each half of the plate. Everything is combined together. The deep fried pork cutlet tasted like it has been deep fried in oil that is past its prime. Consistency is an issue. Perhaps they have new kitchen staffing. It remains to be seen if we'll give this place another chance. read more

A good Hong Kong Style cafe. Nothing fancy, but good simple food. We came here the first night in because it was open late. We had stir fry duck noodles and a salt fish tofu pot. Both were good for late night fare after a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG drive... try 300+ miles in a day with sightseeing to boot. It was very crowded for 10ish. We came back here 2 days later because we needed an early start to our day in Whistler and they were one of the few restaurants open. I had their jook breakfast special with a bowl of jook and turnip cake and a sandwich (egg and spam) while my wife had the american breakfast special of eggs, hotdogs, and toast. They gave 3 turnip cakes which was 2 more than I thought and bigger than you'd get a dim sum. All for like $15 for 2 people. Amazing. I'd probably only go back here again if it were either early or really late at night. read more

They earned two stars solely on the food. I ordered a chicken sandwich combo. It was a great deal and it came with a tea. The service was horrible as they only had two servers The servers ignored us and times and spent very little time if we had a question. It took awhile to get there attention and hard to get them to explain any questions we had. They expected us to know what they were talking about. The food was really good vale. Would I go there again, yes but only for the food. The place was clean though. Don't expect good service. read more
