Quaint little HK style restaurant

Needed to fuel up before heading to view the New Year’s Eve fireworks. We decided to try this restaurant as it was highly recommend by friends.

The atmosphere was a typical Hong Kong “cha-chaan-teng”. The wall has a bunch of Cantonese idioms which we found hilarious. The service was quick and efficient. We ordered the curry ox-tongue, Singapore noodles, eggplant e-fu noodles, and tomato beef with rice. Each meal came with soup and a drink. The food came pretty quickly.
Everything was tasty. The Singapore noodles were a bit on the salty side but still flavorful. Everything reminded me of Hong Kong. The only thing that was missing were the thick milk tea cups. Everything about the restaurant gave us a nostalgic feeling for Hong Kong.
Would definitely come back to eat here.

Terrible service. One of the servers is incredibly rude and even yells at customers. The food is just mediocre, and it's definitely not worth dealing with this level of service.
Low level of service. The waiters were very rude and even shouted at customers. The food was just average and definitely not worth enduring the level of service.

First time here, ordered the afternoon tea special with pork cutlet soup ho fun that comes with a hot beverage. The pork cutlet was nicely battered, good oil and crispy outside and juicy inside. Ho Fun was good and not soggy.

Extra brownie points for them serving the pork cutlet on a separate plate from the soup noods.

In terms of service, the two ladies are hardworking, cleaning, serving and preparing, but they don't really communicate or smile, that's the only drawback but typical cha chen tang service. Kind of feels like placing an order was an annoyance or inconvenience to the server or something. LOL

Other than that, I would definitely come back to try other stuff, such as it's stir fry beef spaghetti or singapore vermcelli afternoon special (at $9 CDN) comes with a hot beverage? it sounds good.

Parking: During peak hours, it maybe hard to find parking but during normal business hours, it's easy to find a parking spot.

I enjoyed their lunch (curry beef brisket, rice was good quality) and milk tea had this smoothness you don’t find everywhere. Service: bad HK style attitude so don’t expect much

I like their breakfast…. Lunch/ dinner it’s not as good, but doable. I am not sure what it is - maybe the chef in the PM isn’t as skilled or just me not liking the flavours.

I go here often with my family for the lunch special.
I like their spaghetti balognese. If you like a canadian\ hong kong style blend its s good option to start.
The special comes with a good sized soup. Either a vegie soup or a canto style one. I like the vegie one bc its got decent anount of vegies and the soup is spicy sweet & tangy. You also get a free drink with the meal. The milk tea coffee are decent. Cold lemon tea is really good it comes with decent amount of lemons. The portions are great size wise for dishes or drinks. Its quite filling. Definetly id recommend it ive tried a decent number of canto\ hong kong style food in this area and this one is great. The atmosphere is nice. Its decently spaced and has like a warm cafe\ restaurant vibe. Its chill when its not during peak hrs which is nice. Other dishes i think are good are the baked portugese chicken. Curry. Shrimp on spicy noodles which has a laska sausce on it. Their fried noodles are good too. Like the birds nest has really good texture its crunchy and tangy\ sweet. Price is quite afforadable too.

Service was meh, made my family feel like placing an order was an annoyance to the server. The restaurant is small, felt cramped and loud in there when it was full house. Tried their Baked chicken steak with tomato and cream sauce on rice, Hainan chicken and Chicken steak vermicelli... not impressed with the taste and quality. Only thing I like about this place is their milk tea.

I don't usually write reviews about places I've gone, even if they're mediocre or I didn't like one aspect about it. However, my experience here is worth writing about. I want to give it a two star due to me feeling bad for the apologizing waitress who was very respectful, but sadly, I cannot overlook the disrespect a lady in glasses and long hair had given me and my family.

We decided to eat there since my aunt recommended it to us. We ordered two set meals that included two drinks and a drink on the side. My parents being elderly wanted less sugar/sweetness to their drinks. However, when the drinks came, it was clearly carelessly made since the sweetness of the drinks was over the top! The third drink came in a large glass (larger than the other two drinks) and we had thought it was due to the order being on-the-side. After taking two sips of the drink, the lady in glasses and long hair approached us and rudely said "this drink is not yours." then proceeded to snatch the drink away. We tried to explain that we had already taken two sips and would be willing to pay the price for that size, but she ignored us and continued to head behind the counter (she was the lady who makes the drinks and a waitress served it to us). We were served another glass that was MUCH smaller than the first one.

The service from that lady was so bad, my mother did not feel comfortable in the restaurant and could barely retain her appetite. We later saw her hand the same glass to a different table and she was all smiles and giggles. The COMPLETE opposite of how she treated us! When we received the bill, we mentioned how rude the lady was and how two drinks were made too sweet. The waitress handling our bill was apologetic and offered to dilute the drink with warm tea, but we refused because we wanted to leave the restaurant quickly.

Needless to say, if you consider coming to this restaurant, their food is okay, the waitress' service is okay, but the lady making the drinks is very rude and impolite. I don't think we will be returning and you should consider looking at other dining options.

New Hong Kong Style Cafe in Markham (new Kennedy plaza)

Came here on a Sunday for Lunch and it was PACKED! I personally thought everything was great, similar as other hong kong style cha chan tang 茶餐厅.

But i gotta say their Hong Kong style Milk Tea was 5/5, so silky and smooth.

I personally love eating at these fast food style Chinese restaurant and everything is quite local and authentic. So great addition in Markham!

I am so disappointed in the workers. I had a latte with me me that i left outside so i don't bring outside food inside the restaurant. I paid for my takeout order and was out in less than 5 minutes. But when i left the restaurant, i saw that someone messed with my drink i had left outside. There were water drops on my lid so i asked the restaurant worker that was cleaning outside what happened. She didn't understand a single thing i was saying but i understand her. She said shs didn't touch it and i could drink it. I don't know what happened to it but if anybody bought a latte and found it somehow got water on the lid, they probably won't drink it. The cleaning lady really thought i was going to believe that she didn't do anything to it. She was the only one outside with a water bucket, gloves, wet apron, and cleaning the outside of the restaurant. The workers here have very little respect for others.
