About Crystal Cafe

Crystal Cafe at Crystal Mall is a popular spot for affordable Hong Kong style cafe food. The breakfast and afternoon tea offer great value for money, with tasty options like French toast. The two sisters who run the place provide friendly service, making customers feel happy and satisfied. Over the years, the food quality has stayed consistent, with must-try dishes such as fried chicken steak and various fried rice options.

Recently, customers noted that the drinks are served in large sizes, bigger than typical food court portions. The cafe also offers convenient lunch box options where you can pick a few dishes to be served on rice, similar to Manchu Wok, which is perfect for those in a rush to return to work. Portions are very generous, and they accept Debit for orders over $15, making it easier for customers without cash.

The cafe’s menu includes a traditional Hong Kong style breakfast with items like beef rice noodle, Two-egg HAM (luncheon meat, sausage, or ham), toast, and a cup of Hong Kong style milk tea or coffee. Staff are friendly and efficient, often serving faster than at places like McDonald's during busy hours. The flavoring is well-balanced, never too saucy or lacking, and service is quick.

The Hong Kong style milk tea is average—authentic but not exceptional. Dishes like satay beef rice noodle meet traditional expectations, though some find the quality can vary. Overall, for under $10, customers can enjoy a satisfying and comforting meal, especially those missing a taste of home-style breakfast. Parking can be tight and tricky for new drivers, but wheelchair accessibility is available. The cafe gets busy during lunch hours, making it a reliable choice for a quick, tasty meal.
