We ordered three dishes -Ox tail was goodPork hock was not good - skin was so dry and burnt- can’t eat muchHainanese chicken - was really rough (not smooth texture).Quite expensive with no soup or drink. Would go elsewhere for HKnese food

Staffs changed from years ago, much better service now. It was horrible before. Food is very good I like it allot and find myself coming back and craving for their pasta. However I think it would be great if meals come with a drink :) overall pretty satisfied, would recommend

This happened before the pandemicThis place is too overated. Terrible service. Food was too salty. Parking was hard to find cause the lot is small. 100% will not recommend my friends and will never come back. This is what happened. Everyone was lining up to get a table. But one of their waitress name starts with a "N" gave her friends special priorities to get their seat first without lining up and told us her friends called her that they will be arriving soon. If that was part of their system of how to get seats, then why can't we all call ahead before they arrive. I asked the other waiters, they all said they don't know anything and wasn't willing to help. I told them I would like to contact the boss or whoever, none of them would let me and I told them can I leave my number and the boss contact me didn't want me to and just gave me the restaurants number.

I was in the area and looking for a place for a takeout lunch. I came across Fav cafe and Nasi Goreng (Indonesian fried rice with chicken) on the menu caught my eye. I called the restaurant and the order was ready in 15 mins. Indonesian style Fried rice was flavourful and tasty. The skin of the chicken was very crispy and the meat was juicy. It also came with a fried egg on the rice. Together with the Indonesian sauce, I think this is as good as it gets! It would be nice if there is an option to upgrade it to a combo with milk tea though. I noticed there are less tables for dine in now. Maybe it is due to covid, there are about 6-7 tables of 4 so seats are limited.

Sun-dried tomato chicken gemelli pasta! They have increased the price to $15 yet no more drink included so with tax is $16.95. This is very expensive yet their quality dropped a lot! First, they changed the pasta so is no longer the unique gemelli pasta! Second, this dish supposed to be white sauce but as shown on the picture, there is not much sauce at all! In conclusion, very disappointed I understand small business is struggled to survive but if you increased you price but at then same time, the quality is not maintained yet dropped a lot to cut cost! This is not acceptable! Won't go back again! Paying $17 dollar for a lunch in Markham, there are plenty of other choices!

Got the crispy duck leg noodle soup (16) and the Berkshire pork chop cutlet (18). The portion size was okay, but I was still hungry after the pork and nothing special.I also wanted to get the spicy satay beef on their website and old lunch menu which is no longer available. Only the all day menu when I went at 11 am.It's a little too pricy for what you get so I wouldn't recommend.

Used to like this restaurant a lot, especially their beef short rib noodle in soup, very satisfying. Went for the first time after lockdown and was extremely disappointed. Price has gone up, which is understandable, but quantity has shrunk so much that it's ridiculous. I ordered my favorite beef short rib noodles only to find a piece of beef bone and 3 small cubes of beef brisket on a small amount of noodles, all for $18. A major ripped off.
Food is still excellent, even through the pandemic. All selections on the menu are worth trying.

It's a good place to grab a quick lunch or afternoon tea. They have great Hong Kong style cafe dishes; their curry, noodles and baked rice dishes are all great for the price. I would steer away from the fancier dishes though, this isn't the place to go for lamb rack, steak or seafood.

Food taste good, outdoor patio seats available. However lunch no longer includes drink. Average lunch dish price is $14. If you add a HK tea after the dish, total with tax becomes $18. With 10% tips, a lunch will cost you $20.

Good food, reasonable pricing. Easy parking for sure, tons of spots.

Got the Salmon Gemelli ($13.95+tax=$15.76) for dinner. The type of pasta attracted me as it isn't very common. It was served in a rose sauce, not super rich and a bit lacking in flavour but tasted good. I would've liked more sauce though since there wasn't a lot. Portion was reasonable but not as big as other places. The dish only had salmon and noodles, which may be plain (fine for me though). Ordered on the phone and it was ready in 10mins. But the cafe's price tags are higher compared to other HK restos.
