We visited the Queen Mother Cafe with high expectations given its history and charm, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to our expectations and its legacy. While the service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely, the meal itself was a disappointment. Do not order the Eggs Benny ($20+), which was overpriced for the quality. It lacked proper presentation and more importantly, something seemed off. The side of potatoes was meager and unnecessarily spicy which clashed with the Eggs Benny.
Unfortunately I dealt with stomach pains shortly after returning home. Argh!! Between the lack of value and the physical discomfort afterward, I was very disappointed in my meal. On a positive, my family enjoyed their meals, the chicken sandwich and pad thai.

I got the pad Thai which was flavorful but too salty . My husband got a noodle soup which was very good. I love the history of the restaurant which helped the atmosphere even though it was a bit dark and basic. Service was efficient and professional without the extra warmth đWe were told our reservation would be given away after ten minutes. Seems like a busy place.

The food here was disappointing and greasy, and the drinks were weak. We will unfortunately not be back.

was pretty good! decent portion size, tasty but not mind blowing
The space felt a little congested and wasnât exactly the most accessible, especially during a busy evening, but overall it was still an enjoyable dining experience.

Soooo good. Got the ping gai, portion was huge and filling. Would absolutely come back again
Thai spicy peanut noodle bowl is a must try. Itâs just yum!! It gets busy during evening on weekends so you might want to get lil earlier than busy hours. They do have vegan/ vegetarian options available. Large groups can be accommodated but the place is a bit congested. Must visit for the amazing food!!

Came in as a party of 6, and had such a delightful evening. Spent a few solid hours grabbing and having dinner and some drinks. We got great recommendations from our server Rahim, who understood we were hungry and ready to eat. Everyone gushed about the deliciousness of their meal and bites were swapped. I got thw sweet potato roti and it was so good. Great flavors, vegetarian checked all my boxes. Rahim suggested I get the raita on the side which I did- it was so good. I also tried the smoky spicy sauce though now the name eludes me. It was also so good, perfect amount a of spice for someone who really likes spicy food. Great combo. We also took home some desserts and enjoyed them later. The atmosphere was great, not too loud so we didn't have to yell at each other and could speak normally. Blessing. Overall, such a great night. Thank you!

What an interesting unassuming spot! I came in with no expectations and ordered a bunch of stuff: - Dim sum quartet: So yummy! Lots of filling, well cooked, pretty good - Chicken and Shrimp Bah Me Hang: Itâs sorta like pad thai, but the noodleâs texture was so good. Like angel hair pasta but more chewy and so delicious. I couldnât stop eating đ€€ - Ping Gai: The chicken was so juicy and well grilled. Great seasoning. The dipping sauce was light but brought the whole meal together. A really delicious dish!
This spot is great, service was fast and the food is delicious! They also have plenty of vegetarian options which i think is also wonderful đ

A Queen St fixture. Still hopping, still great food. I was worried it would be gone, like so many other aqueen St fixtures. Been coming here for 20 years.

Cozy and comfortable ambiance. It was a busy evening, which added to the lively atmosphere. The cafĂ© has a great selection of delicious drinks â I ordered the Lucky Charms, and absolutely loved it.
For starters, we had the calamari and Batu Sambol, which were a very good choice. For my main entrĂ©e, I ordered the spicy chicken peanut noodles. The portion size was quite generous for me, and unfortunately I couldnât finish it, but it was very tasty.
