Hong Kong style Chinese restaurant offering a variety of dishes including baked pork chop on rice, stir-fried rice noodles, German pork hock and Hainan chicken.
The service is friendly, but the quality of food can be inconsistent at times, maybe different chefs.
Mixed Grill Platter was decent today.
Open 7 days a week from 11am-10pm
10% off take out, they accept cash debit or credit

The food was okay, but the service was bad. The server was very impatient and seemed annoyed when we asked to pay the bill. She questioned us and said we needed to tell her “how we’re paying” when asking to pay—said in a very irritated manner multiple time—when she could’ve simply asked if she needed to know. The coffee cups were dirty and looked old, which made the experience even worse.
It was our first time at the restaurant, and we won’t be coming back. No tip, and thanks.

Solo weekend dinner, last time came to Redbud was before COVID, someone reminded me of this place, and it was really good.
The tomato soup was just ok, nothing stands out.
The black pepper sauce of the 2 meat combination was very flavourful, meat and veggies were good too
The baked pork chop tomato sauce rice was very flavourful too, you can actually taste the tomatoes, ketchup maybe? But I liked it.
Staff was friendly too
Overall I enjoyed it, I recommend this place for anyone who enjoys HK cafe.

Ordered takeout and the food and drinks took 1.5 hours to be ready for pickup. When I went up to the cash register at the 1 hour mark, I was initially ignored for another 10 minutes. Then an employee finally acknowledged me standing there, but was dismissive and rudely told me the order wasn't ready. It was a small order with 1 dish and some drinks meanwhile customers who walked in after I arrived had seated and ordered, got their food and drinks while I was still waiting for my takeout. It wasn't until I went up a second time to ask when the order would be ready, was when the kitchen STARTED MAKING THE DISH!
The quality of service and speed of this restaurant has gone downhill over the years and this last order has made me give up on this HK style café. I would highly suggest avoiding Red Bud and go to other HK style cafés going forward.

To tip or not to tip, when restaurant is forcing you to tip!
First, server told us what we wanted was sold out. At 12 noon. Restaurant was not full, and seemed they just opened up. We ordered something different instead and a sub from plain to fried rice. Again, server said it would cost us $1 more, then came back to say sub price was $3. When food came, fried rice was just yellow rice, barely warm, and no veg. Sweet and sour pork was just mid in taste. We did not finish our food coz they’re mid. A lady came for our bill, and we paid separately. First off was our colleague who paid with her debit card. Lady had the audacity to ask her if she’s giving the tip manually. Our colleague said “why?”, lady then said condescendingly that Redbud was a restaurant, not food court, “we provide service with your food” and thus expected tips for the service. So we said, we were disappointed because what we ordered was sold out. She turned out to be the manager, and verified with the kitchen our concern. She came back and clarified that the day delivery, that included the rice noodles, was late and didn’t make it for the lunch orders. She gave a $5 coupon to make up for it, to our group of 4. We did give them a tip minimally as we believe tipping is commensurate to service and service experience. Server did not even refill our teas or followed through how our orders were, not that we expected that from a small low-priced restaurant.
Our take away from this was it was the first time for all of us to be directly asked for tips that we felt pressured. We all have eaten in all kinds of restos, including high end restaurants and are familiar and abide by tipping etiquettes and to be asked in our face for a tip was a first for us.
I’m neutral re recommending this restaurant, just fair warning for “forced tips”.

Standard HK cafe fare. Service was passable but food was rather unremarkable.
