This is a no fuss HK cafe, very simple, not pretentious, many items to choose from, good price point. It’s nothing fancy. But it got everything u want for at a HK cafe. Service is quick but don’t expect too much.

My go to place for take out for the family. HK breakfast menu ... my fave is their Chinese style French Toast, Egg and Corn Beef Sandwich on thick bread no crust!! Plus classic Chinese noodles and Rice dishes. Also love their baked Portuguese Chicken Casserole dish and Fried Chicken Wings. Hai Nan Chicken and Rice combo a really good deal $13.95 too. Combos come with drinks HK Coffee, Milk Tea or Lemon Tea Lots of variety here. Gets very busy on weekends!!

Nice little HK Cafe that has been in the neighbourhood forever. Has a large menu of typical HK Cafe meals that are usually pretty solid overall. Service can be pretty hit or miss. I remember coming here 10 years ago and service wasn't good, meanwhile this time service was great and everyone there was very nice. Also have some TVs in there showing Chinese news channels. Cleanliness of the place is always a little suspect. But considering how long it has been here and the consistent popularity of the place over that time, it has done pretty well for itself.

First time to this restaurant. Great food and efficient staff. It's actually quite crowded. However, the turn over is quick. Waiting time is less than 5 minutes. We had pork knuckle noodle, the texture of the noodle was excellent, knuckle was tender n tasty. Perfect broth. The fish rice noodle was well prepared. Very delicious. I'm sure will go back again. Lunch meal is very affordable range from $10-15, with soup, the main course n free milk tea n coffee.

I'm surprised I never reviewed this place even though I go so often! Classic HK style dishes and authentic feeling staff and patrons, feels like I'm back in Asia. Their dinner menu with rice and dishes are done quite well. Fairly priced and tastes pretty good. I give them 8/10!

Been here a few times now. Super affordable place. No frills. Menu is limited. Overall good place for a super quick and non fussy bite to eat. I don't really find the food super flavourful though tbh. Overall, I only come when my friend wants to. I would recommend this place if you want a super cheap bite to eat.

Food was acceptable but.. BUT.. BUT very very poor service! The floor staff were not friendly at all! Poor service to our table, and also not nice to the table right next to us, where there was a seating of 4 high school kids eating out together, the staff talked to these kids like they didn t have enough money to tip her kind of attitude. And, she combined our take out order with the dine in order together on one bill, just for getting more tips! I wouldn t give this restaurant a full STAR in service at all if there was an option.

Had a baked fish over rice in white sauce, it was pretty bad. Fish wasn t a grouper for sure. Rice was cooked unevenly. White sauce was bland and unflavored.

We came here because it was the only restaurant in the area that didnt have a wait line. I understand why. The service was subpar. The servers were really slow. The restaurant was only about 1/4 full, but our dishes took a very long time to come out. The quality of the dishes was 3/5. I would not come back again and rather wait an hour to eat somewhere else

November 22, 2024

Taxes should be collected, but not having an official receipt is a violation of tax bureau regulations. That is to say, it is dishonest. I believe that if I don t file my taxes, my taxes will be pocketed safely! Disguised price increase.

This is an average restaurant among all I have tried.

Do not try , Southern Breast Chicken, Kyoto Steak as the chef does not how to cook.... See photos The soup looks like water

Its been a long time that I havent visited this place, furnitures are worn out, servers are nice but not professional, food is okay, price is reasonable, if you are not demanding, its a good option for quickie bites.

November 22, 2024

Food is soso. It was busy when we were there so it was very loud in the restaurant. We ordered two drinks and waited 30 mins, and no drink was served. We followed up with a server and waited another 10 mins and still no drinks. Finally the drinks came 45 mins after we placed our order. We ask for take out cups because we had to leave at that time. The server took our bill and added 50 cents charge for the cups. We complained and explained we needed cups to go because the restaurant took so long to get our drinks. The server simply said she will let people preparing drinks know, but insisted we had to pay for takeout cups. Will not come here again.

This is an NPC restaurant. It s not bad, but there is absolutely nothing remarkable about it. As others said, the drinks are on the watery side. I think they went a little too far on the cheap food approach. I would much rather they charge a few dollars more in exchange for better quality/effort.

Today is my second time here. The first time I was served by the boss and his attitude was very good. Today I was served by my aunt and her attitude was very bad. I asked for ice water. It didn t come after I sat down. It didn t come until the third time. The milk tea didn t have a lot of milk. I couldn t finish the meal and packed it in the box. I didn t say if I needed to add money. There was no receipt yet. There was only a handwritten receipt. I seriously suspected tax evasion. With such an attitude, I really don t know why I should tip. Ill quarrel with you on the spot. I really don t mind if everyone goes to eat. Bty, I will report tax evasion to the Canada Revenue Agency reports tax evasion.

Not bad

June 22, 2024

Decided to try this HK style restaurant. Mistake. We ordered the signature chicken rice dish, beef brisket fried vermicelli and pork and egg congee. The meals come with Chinese or western style soup and a drink. Price was reasonable. The chicken in the rice dish was literally chopped up backs of a chicken. Barely any meat and all bone. Unlike any of the pictures of the chicken from other reviewers. Looks like our dish may have been an anomaly?? Phoenix restaurant has the best chicken rice dish.The beef brisket was ok not a lot flavour. The vermicelli noodle was fried and retained the shape of the bottom of the cooking vessel. We couldnt pull it apart - it was a clump of sticky noodles. Weird. The congee came after about 30 mins and there was about 2 small pieces of pork and about half of a preserved duck egg. The bowl was piping hot though. The menu was filthy and sticky. The server was efficient but could not be described as friendly. The tea with lemon came 30 mins after the first dish arrived. This restaurant would be a good pick for those who enjoy bland food with no discernable msg. First and last visit. Vegetarian options: Selection of Chinese greens. Parking: Typical strip mall parking that has a T&T and Tim Hortons.

June 22, 2024

This place is the worst Chinese food I have ever had. It s not cheap. They over charged me and a waitress came out running asking for tips when they were mopping with bleach while we were eating. They could mop after everyone s done eating so the food doesn t taste like bleach either. Tipping is also not mandatory I have no reason to tip for no service. Everything tastes gross. AVOID

I ordered black pepper pork chop on spaghetti right off the menu (no special requests) and the chef got it wrong twice. The waitress came out with bolognese spaghetti with pork cutlet, which is completely different from what I ordered, as the sauce is different and the pork was different too. The waitress asked if its okay and I sent it back because its not what I ordered. After 15 minutes, they came out with black pepper spaghetti on pork cutlet, which is still not what I ordered. What was horrifying was that you can tell they washed the sauce off the noodles and just put black pepper sauce on top because there were red stains from the bolognese sauce. I sent it back again because thats unacceptable. They finally got my order right the third time. I want to point out that the restaurant wasnt busy at the time and there were maybe 3 tables there. I drank Ovaltine and it tasted like water, no amount of sugar helped. Also they spilled soup on the jacket of the lady beside me. Very dissatisfied with the service and the food here. I will not be coming back.

March 22, 2024

This is the worst Chinese cafe in the existence of Markham or maybe even in GTA. Ordered a ketchup pork rice for 45min did not came, waiter ignored us, i mean not even answering us. After I could not wait anymore I decided to go and not leave any tips. The staff still insist on tips which is ridiculous. Of course I did not pay tips and left. If you have similar experience please leave this cafe a review, so people out there know and will not have the same experience that I have to go through.

I grew up eating Ho Garden, all the way back when they were still located at Alton Towers. I luv how the family members all worked together to run this business. Prices are fair and reasonable. Some of the food items are hit and miss but most of the time, they do deliver. I enjoyed it here. When you come here, you are not looking at fancy decor or superb service, but the comfort and casual dining. And this place brings nostalgic memories. I always come here and order the All-Day Combo that has the fried egg sandwich, satay beef soup noodles and hot yin-yang. The fried egg sandwhich always made to the perfection when its runny and steamy hot, its thickness is amazing. The satay beef is nice as well. Today, for some reason, I craved for congee so I ordered the breakfast combo which comes with century egg salty pork congee + bean sprouts stir fry ho fun noodles. This combo doesnt come with a hot beverage which I am ok. The congee itself is nicely prepared and smooth and steamy hot. However, it lacks enough ingredients and the pork seemed to be big pieces and not marinated enough as you can smell and taste the boiled pork smell, which I hate. Ho Fun was nicely stir fryed, you can smell and taste the Wok He and wok skillz, bean sprouts was crunch. The combo portion was so big that I have to bring ho fun home. I also like to order the ham soup macaroni. The Hainanese chicken with oil rice and ginger/scallion is delicious. For afternoon tea, I like to order the beef brisket tendon and shrimp wonton soup noodles. I dont really dine here for dinner time, as I mostly visited for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. Luv this place! Parking: Spacious free parking and close to the restaurant. There are also accessible parking spots around the restaurant as well.

Not many restaurants are able to make this dish consistently anymore, but this one does so I continue to return.

It was the first time I had breakfast here and I ordered satay beef rice. There was no satay juice at all, only a few slices of beef... no satay flavor, just like eating beef clear rice soup, and the milk tea flavor was also very bland; preserved egg and lean meat porridge The lean meat had a sour taste...it had obviously gone bad. I asked the clerk to change it to another porridge, but they were both watery and bland, and the fried rice noodles had no wok flavor. I have only had breakfast. I don t know if the lunch/dinner market will be better, but I would not recommend going for breakfast. The standard is very poor!

Service was great; staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was also nice and somewhat bustling. The food tho was mediocre. I had the wonton & beef brisket noodles, and both wonton and beef brisket werent very good. The wonton was tasteless and the shrimp was chewy, while the beef brisket was also quite tasteless and chewy. My friend had the salted fish and chicken fried rice and it apparently was also rather bland. The soup that came with the meal was also flavorless. All in all, for a slightly more expensive price you could get better food at other HK style restaurants but if you want to save a bit and are ok with blander food then the service here is great.

The instant noodles they used to have was very good. We would always come here just to order the instant noodles because the noodle texture was very nice and the noodle soup/ MSG soup was also tasty. However when we went today we noticed the quality of the noodle greatly decreased, it s not as chewy as it once was and it s just really mushy. The broth also changed into this white broth that was not at all what it used to be. We are guessing although the price remained the same, they simply used lower quality materials to make up for it hopefully this is not a permanent change as it s one of the main reasons we would come here for lunch!

One of the dish we ordered was a Singapore fried noodles, we made a complaint about how it lacked flavours, like no salt. But thats not the issue here. Once it came back to our table. It does have saltiness to it, BUT there is a weird hint of chemical or weird taste to it. Its as if the chefs got mad that we sent the dish back, and added something in it. Im skeptical because the amount of salt they added in far exceeds any dish Ive had on their menu, . Its like theyre hiding what they secretly put in,the amount of salt they put wont hide it for me. It could be unsanitary oil(or even gutter oil), water from mop bucket, they couldve spitted on it. From before it looked dried, but now, its strangely way more oily. But yeah, im never eating here again.

Avoid ordering the pineapple bun with butter. The bun is hard and Slightly underbaked. Other than that, the soup in SayTay Soup with rice noodles is only chilly sauce, but not saytay. The taste is kinda weird compare to other restaurants. Staff is cold to us. When we asked for cold water instead of tea, they gave us hot water. Ive eaten pineapple oil twice, and its getting worse and worse. The color is still lacking, and the pineapple skin actually fell out in pieces...its tough when you bite it off...its not worth it! Satay, rice and beef shoes, I like the food, but the waiter has a bad attitude! black mouth black face

First time returning to Ho Garden after the lockdown period. The restaurant followed the social distancing restrictions carefully. It was clean & organized. The food and service were great! Good for value! We tried their take outs during another lockdown. The food quality was not as good. We felt a bit disappointed. Hope they will improve after the lockdown period. Recent Visit: We finally came back for dine in during afternoon tea time. They have a lot of variety for afternoon tea set on their menu. The portion was reasonable and the price was affordable. The food and service was much better this time. Glad to see things return to the good old days.

The food was pretty good for its price. I order some macaroni with a toast for $7.50, and it s not bad. The soup in macaroni was a bit salty and the toast seemed a little blend, but I can t complain much when the combo also comes with a milk tea!

Chinese Bistro Cafe style restaurant with 4 booth seats. Seems to be a family business, thus most servers are friendly and welcoming, except a few hired servers. Overheard their staff taking orders, polite and efficient but remain friendly. Food not greasy, a bit on the plain side if you are used to salty food. Set meals are very reasonably priced. I chose one that came with drinks. The milk tea was smooth, strong and taste surprisingly great. Also on order was rice plates (one with Hainan chicken & another with pork chop), porridge and fried noodle. All comes with very good portions. Congee is a bit on the plain side, not watery as others mentioned, but need to add a small dash of salt. Vegetable dishes tasted great. An excellent place to grab a quick bite in Chinese style. Looking for to come again for breakfast as well.

1000 year old egg with pork congee had no taste . Fried noodles tasted ok but no fried aroma. Like home cooked noodles without wok fried taste and smell. HK Milk tea is not the best, Ive tasted better. But the price is good . Only $9 for tea, noodles and congee. If you want a simple, no thrill, inexpensive breakfast or lunch, this is the place to go.

First time at this cafe. Ordered a pork knuckle and beef brisket noodle that tasted really bland. The knuckle and beef was cold and noodle was soggy and had this soapy taste. Cold milk tea was watered down and way too sweet. Interior lighting was dim and tables were damp. Service was mediocre. Price wasn t cheap either. Should have trusted the reviews here before giving this cafe a try

Mid Dec 2022 weekend lunch. Busy before 2 pm and quite noisy as usual HK style cafe. The Hainan chicken rice is just bland overcooked steamed hard meat chicken. The rice has some oil but missing coconut taste, aroma. It costs $12 dor the meal combo.

When the customer is Yang Gu! I ordered a takeaway tuna sandwich for afternoon tea. I opened it when I got home and saw that the tuna was thinner than a razor blade (only the tuna juice coating was the same). Then I added a large amount of lettuce to make a thick sandwich and cooked it. Duli! The tuna fish served in other restaurants is 100 times thicker than this, and the price is even more affordable than this peninsula. I won t patronize you again!

Best value and quality restaurant in the area. Ordered countless take out during lockdown. The baked tomato sauce pork chop with rice is a must try. They have spaced the tables out so we felt very safe while dining in. Usually not too busy in dinner time.

This place is pretty good. Has a lot of tasty snacks. It also has a good variety of food for the kids and family. We ordered the club sandwich, hai-nan chicken and the fried fish and French fries. I didn t get a chance to photograph the fish fillet and french fries but they were absolutely delicious. The batter was light and crispy. I think it was panko flake. The sandwich was spot on. The chicken dish was very tasty. The only problem was that when the chicken was chop the bones were fractured into little pieces.

Mmmmm delicious! I suggest this to anybody looking for a good meal at a great price. You can request no msg which is great and I always order their Yeung Chow fried rice here and anything that is on the menu is pretty much their speciality! I would say that the employees are nice and friendly and the restrooms are clean.

We got the club sandwich, hainanese chicken and Portuguese spaghetti. The club sandwich was good, no complaints, cant go wrong with a sandwich! The Portuguese spaghetti didnt seem like it was baked at all and the sauce for the spaghetti just seemed like it was poured on top at end. The rice for the chicken was delicious but the chicken itself was ok. It has a lot of bones, and wasnt too flavorful.

Half of the servers in this restaurant are very rude, seems like they don t want to serve you. The tables in there are too close and they don t care about you got fully vaccinated or not , just ask you to sign up the name and phone numbers, that s make me feel not safe. I m not recommended this restaurant
