Review from David D.

Sugar Sweet Cafe is one of the most under-rated HK style restaurants in the Markham/Scarobough area. It is tucked away in a small plaza consisting of a gas station, bakery and several clinics.
The restaurant itself is quite small, seating approx. 20 small tables/booths, so it can get quite crowded during the peak hours of lunch and dinner time.
There are daily lunch/dinner specials, along with the regular selections from the menu. The daily lunch/dinner specials come with a choice of soup (Tomato or cream of mushroom), a drink (hot HK tea, coffee, or lemon tea), and a dessert (only for dinner).
The selections are standard to HK style restaurants, but Sugar Sweet Cafe doesn't hold back on their portions. I almost away have to share my main dish with my guest. The overall quality and taste is great and it comes at a very affordable price. It holds true to what it does best.
Even the HK tea and lemon tea are quite tasty.
Sugar Sweet Cafe has been one of my top choice for HK style cafe for years and will definitely be back.Listed in: 30-Day Yelp Challenge: October…

To be honest i think this place is really more of a 3.5, but no half stars on yelp so oh well :) Anyways, I would say this is my go to HK style cafe, just b/c it's not ridiculously over priced, and the food is actually pretty good when you know what to order. Now here's where it gets tricky. This cafe does certain things really well (ex. baked porkchop and fried rice), while other items will make you never want to return (ex. beef in black pepper sauce with rice, which had a really crappy sauce).
In terms of setting, it is a pretty typical HK style cafe: bustling, busy, loud and run by chinese housewives (si lais) who really don't care for their quality of service. Though these things may be seen as negative to some, for many who have been to HK, this might actually feel familiar and welcoming.
Overall this is a good place to go to every now and then. Just avoid lunch times and weekends 'cause the restaurant is REALLY small, and it is quite popular. -

As much as I like value-plus portions, I felt something was missing.
It could've been cos' there's so many customers, kitchen overwhelmed.
One day I was amazed by the plentiful portion of Noodles in the bowl.
Another day I look at the sad Sauce poured on separately cooked Meat.
For now, I designate this a fill-d-stomach on cheap destination is all. 2.5'd -

Sugar Sweet Cafe
This Hong Kong Style's Cafe name in English and it's Chinese name "Octopus" might both be disappointing to some...
If you looking for Sugar Sweet's dessert? you definitely be disappointed..as the menu feature exclusively Hong Kong Style's restaurant selections ...
If you looking for specialized octopus cuisine... (live octopus? Takoyaki?) I don't see that on the menu either...
Wednesday's afternoon tea time in Scarborough... this place was packed, these people must know something I don't.. since this is the first time I come here!!
Waitress suggested not to order any wonton or dumpling noodles as it would take forever for the food arrive. forever is NOT 5 min.. is 15 minute.. so Skip that! Since one go to Cafe of this type is for fast food!!!
Preserved Vegetable Pork Vermicelli ($4.25) and Beef Briskets Rice Noodle ($4.50) with drinks were both A-OK. Portion size is big..Not too often when my yelp buddy would comment that "Hey! This is a lot of Noodle!"
So come to Sugar Sweet Cafe if you want to have something affordable, decently tasty and fast!! -

This place is great for quick lunch and dinner. Similar to many Hong Kong style tea restaurants. Prices are pretty cheap and amounts are big. It can get crowded sometimes but it is a pretty clean restaurant. This is not a desert place. Totally recommend for rice and noodle dishes!
