This has been the best place I've gotten HK style cafe food. The portions are large but the food is rich in flavor. This is as authentic as it can get to matching the ones in Hong Kong!
The set lunch was nice and came with HK style milk tea. -

One of the most favourite go-to place for HK style meals.
The service is always quick and it is almost always packed, especially during lunch time.
Their Hoinan chicken with rice is one of the best I've ever eaten. It's a MUST order if you're new or old to this place.
Dishes are reasonably priced and usually comes with a drink (Additional $1.15 for cold drinks)
Overall, service and food was been consistent for awhile and it keeps making me go back whenever I'm stuck on where to eat for lunch.Listed in: Up-up-here-we-go, Riding along the Riverdale

I can't really say their food is excellent but it's a decent Chinese "diner" style restaurant. Although the service is known to be horrible and they charge you an extra dime here and there if you can't finish your food and require a take out box, I do have to give this restaurant some credit for having some special items on their menu that you can't find at other Chinese diners.
Apart from their usual deep fried chicken wings and fries, satay beef instant noodle, or hong kong style French toast for their afternoon tea menu, they've incorporated some creative ideas such as ice cream crepe, milkshakes, and "Mexican" fries.
Their Hainanese Chicken Rice and assorted curry dishes are quite famous and I do have to say it is quite tasty.
I'd go check the place out. Other than the service, the food is pretty decent. To warn you though, prices are relatively high for a Chinese diner. Expect to spend around $10 per person for lunch and around $20 for dinner. -

This is where I get my takeout all the time and that is at least once a week.
The food is always good, at least the ones I always order.
My favourite is the Korean spicy meat rice, any of the noodles in shark fin soups.
I would stay away from the pricey set dinner, they are not good values and not that tasty! I don't like their curry dishes as much as I found they put too much coconut paste in them.
My favourite drink here is the grass jello ice drink with icecream, but be warned not to drink that if you are on a diet! They put condensed milk as sweetener.... taste so good though!
BTW, if you go for lunch, this place is so busy, so prepare to wait! -

Solid go to for the standard HK style meal.
For the Westerner, which I am, HK style is a very vague version in Hong Kong of what Western food is; replicated back into Markham: ya follow? Think, if you were in Hong Kong, this is where you would go to find chicken balls. (you get that it doesn't exist in Hong Kong right? Otherwise leave this site and google Mandarin)
But Awesome chicken balls. The food is great, the service is attentive, Pretty much diner level and I love it. I call it a breakfast and lunch spot. We mostly go for breakfast- I love the "Instant Noodle, with Satay Beef, my kids kill for the Condensed Milk toast, which sounds offensive, but is reaaaaly good.
Check it out. -

Love coming here for their Hoinan chicken with rice. Probably the place to go in the Markham/Richmond Hill area for it.
They also make a REALLY heavy ice cream on thick toast dessert. It can definitely serve as a meal on it's own.
Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and they have a large variety of dishes. -

Busy place on a Thursday evening. Informal atmosphere, very Hong Kong style, or so I'm told by a Hongkongnese I was with. Good food; we had fried rice with shrimp and eggs -- it was good, although there's not much that can go wrong with fried rice. We also had Korean stone pot spicy beef and rice (Bibimbop), and that was delicious. Then we ordered waffle with chocolate ice cream for dessert, and that was very slow in coming, although by then the restaurant wasn't that busy any longer. I wondered if they ordered ice cream from Iceland and waited for its arrival. The waiters are maybe a touch too casual -- I was with a Cantonese-speaking person, so they didn't bother to speak English. Since all the staff is young, I am certain they are fluent in English, and it made me feel slightly out of place.

Very casual HK type foods at a very cheap price. Their breakfast is really great, they have the typical macaroni soup with eggs and ham for breakfast, instant noodles with pork chops and perfectly cut crustless egg and ham or tuna sandwiches on white bread. You also get a drink, my mom loves the half coffee half tea (yuinyern) while I usually get the milktea. You can also buy Chinese newspapers and read like most patrons do throughout your meal.

Food is always good, service fast (although not always friendly). Think that maybe they put a touch too much MSG into their food, but hey, it's a Chinese "fast food" joint so as far as those go, this place is great!
