Garden Hong Kong Cafe 嘉頓茶餐廳 in Markham

Little expensive.

The service attitude is unacceptable. Lao Feng wants you to give us tips. He feels that you are not giving enough and will chase you out of the restaurant. Unacceptable customer service, not allowed to leave the restaurant unless fulfilled the amount of tips desired by the greedy waitress that barely serve you. Would not recommend this restaurant

Ive been to this cafe a few times and food was always good except for today. Im giving it 4 stars because, most of the time they do really well. I used to love their Hainanese chicken rice dish but today it seems like theres less chicken and it just looks kinda sad. One staff member (older auntie) was honestly so rude. Ive seen my fair share of Cantonese servers, she takes the cake. The other staff member (younger woman) was super nice, which is why I didnt want to leave this review with less stars. One of the dishes we ordered took super long, and when we asked about it, the older woman just said its steaming and stormed off. After a long time, it still never came, and their excuse was it takes 20 min. It was 20 min....anyways we said no need, cancel order...like cmon (we know you forgot). I really think this place has potential and one off day is fine. But that aunties attitude needs to change. My parents will not come back, but Im happy to order takeout. Hope theres improvement in the future.

Small cafe so space is limited but service is fast and quick turnover. Food is very reasonably priced and portions are big.

The food is 75/100. There is a big gap between the portion size and the price. . The place is small and you usually have to wait for a table. It is best to go early in the morning or after 2 oclock when there is a heavy snowstorm.

The taste of Hong Kong, the taste of childhood

One of the best Satay Beef Noodles Ive ever had.

2024 updated If you come at off-peak, then wait time only 10 minutes. Customers always liked the Hainan Chicken, Curry beef brisket... Indeed the food quality are very good at very fair prices. Milk tea is good too. Thank you Garden HK

Really great food and milk tea. Reasonable prices too!

They said card is okay for above 15$, but giving me attitude for 14.92 purchase. Server very rudy and try to get me out without even letting me finishing the drink.

Apart from having to wait for a table every time (business is booming), there is nothing else to fault. Especially the Hainanese chicken rice and ginger-scallion shredded chicken are really worth recommending.

I loved the food,service is good,small but good atmosphere

Amazing food, best Hong Kong food/experience. Worth the wait and drive from Toronto.

Better than Hong Kong cafes in Hong Kong

2024 October 3.5 A. $11.49 S3 $7.25 Still pretty good. Pricewise still very competitive. Was a bit disappointed with the BBQ pork this time as it lacked flavors.. almost looked store bought. November 2021. 4 Continues to be a great option for HK style dishes. New menu options recently added. Decently priced. The BBQ pork with beef omelet with rice was very good. The egg was done well and the beef and pork were tender. The Baked pork chop and chicken steak with black pepper on tomato sauce on fried rice was also good with melted cheese on top. With a drink under $10 its a great deal. November 2020. 4 The molten salted duck egg sandwich was great. The milk tea was good too. Their appetizer was good with the exception of the siu mai which was so so.. the fish paste wasnt springy enough. The place itself is very small. About 7 tables or about 25 seats. Price was ok. Worth going for a visit.

Hainanese chicken rice tastes good, the chicken is fresh and smooth, and only 2 slices of cucumber are a bit too little. It would be better if it is paired with pickled cucumber and radish!

Best Hong Kong food in town! Unbeatable.

Big dish, the chicken is smooth but has no chicken flavor, the oil rice and soy sauce are bland and tasteless

I have eaten at this restaurant several times, and I have also tried other restaurants. I always like the Hainanese chicken rice in this restaurant the most. Boneless Hainanese chicken rice is delicious with meat. I have to give credit to the chef in the kitchen for making the chicken meat not too soupy but still tender and smooth. Although the restaurant space is small, it is the characteristic of Hong Kong teahouses. The space is small and the taste is good. Special praise to the ordering lady, she can remember the food ordered by each customer without using paper and pen, and cleans the table very quickly, even though there are so many people waiting for her table every day. Of course, there wont be the service of a five-star hotel here, because it will always be an ordinary restaurant. The only drawback is the limited parking spaces in the parking lot. I have dined at this restaurant multiple times and have also tried other restaurants. The Hainanese chicken rice at this restaurant is always my favorite. The boneless Hainanese chicken rice is delicious. I must give credit to the chef for making the chicken meat not too soupy but still tender and smooth. Although the restaurant space is small, it is characteristic of Hong Kong teahouses. The small space and good taste go hand in hand. Special praise to the lady taking orders; she can remember each customers food order without using pen and paper. Additionally, she cleans the tables very quickly, even though there are many people waiting for a table every day. Of course, the service here is not that of a five-star hotel, as its just an ordinary restaurant. The only drawback is the limited parking spaces in the parking lot.

pretty small restaurant, price is cheap comparing other restaurants, food are ok but my Hainan Chicken Rice uses chicken spleen but is raw

There is such a friendly service attitude in Hong Kong, if you understand what I am talking about . Milk tea and lemon tea are both OK. It smells like tea. The Hainanese chicken is OK, but the fried rice is just missing. Some rice may have too much water, making it too chewy. Hainanese chicken rice does not come with chicken soup. The curry sauce for the curry pork chop is thick enough. The pork chops are evenly fat and lean and delicious. I didn t know that the pineapple oil was freshly baked, and it tasted like a tinge of heat when eaten, and the bottom of the bun was dry. But the taste is okay. All in all, its acceptable. The price is very affordable. A meal costs $11 to $12 for a hot drink, and $1.25 for cold drinks. It s so hard to find today. come on

The restaurant is a bit too small and you have to wait at least 20 min. The waitresses are nice, but not much time to serve you as they are too busy. The food is great and the price is quite cheap.

Not very tasty, in fact, very bland food.

Many people eat Hainanese chicken rice, probably because no one knows how to eat the skin. Curry beef brisket is average. The special drink, red bean ice, is delicious, but it doesn t sound nostalgic because it s crushed ice, not shaved ice. Add two mosquitoes and make a thin take-out cup.

Very fair price with good quality

The curry beef brisket + fried rice is highly recommended, and the baked pig rice is also good. Milk tea is OK with Jierongbijinchawang

Besides the wait of 20 mins for 2 people on a Saturday at 2:30 due to the small space and high popularity: - delicious food (got Hainanese chicken and baked pork chop on rice) - solid Lai cha - low prices - good staff Id rank this in my top 3 HK cafes, I regret not coming here sooner.

Love their signature dishes.

As a delivery driver I come here very often. I must say the staff in this restaurant are very very unfriendly. Every time I approach them, the are either very indifferent or very rude. They shout at you instead of talking with you and they never look at you when they spea. I go to so many restaurants and the staff here are most unfriendly I ever met. From time to time, I cancelled the order since I felt so unhappy.

Ordered Hainan chicken, the yellow oil rice is perfect, but the chicken itself is so so. The pineapple bun is so so as well. However, garden cafe is very affordable, I will go back to try its other dish.

The 2 signature dish is the curry beef brisket and Hai Nam Chicken with the 3 sauce . The reason for the sauce it makes the rice even tastier! Price is very reasonable for uptown [email protected] for the beef brisket with rice and $11.50 for the chicken ( with no bone) plus a cup of tea with lemon, Hong Kong tea your choice. Ryan and his wife have been running this place for several years and we certainly love to support local business.

It s the taste of a Hong Kong tea restaurant! Good food! Recommend Hainanese chicken rice and curry beef brisket rice.

The price is really cheap and the taste is good, so many people come

their food is very mediocre and not traditional. their service is also quite bad and the restaurant has many flies and mosquitoes and is very unclean.

There are about ten tables in this very narrow restaurant. The food is delicious, so I always come back for takeout. The service is nothing spectacular, like a typical HK cafe.

Great place for Hainanese chicken rice , excellent sauces with it, way better than Phoenix which is grossly overrated. Garden Cafe has excellent service. The worst part of this place is that its really small and crammed which is a bit uncomfortable with kids.

Hainanese chicken rice is delicious, I hope it can continue to maintain the standard. Pork chop and rice are delicious.

In the six-year canteen, Hainanese chicken is unbeatable, the boss is kind, full marks

Small place, seats are limited,but good food and reasonable price.

We ordered hinan chicken and Curry beef with rice. The chicken looked like making from chicken quarter, not from whole chicken. The curry beef is very good. We wish the restaurant is bigger.

we ordered take out from this restaurant and the beef is not even tender, and the chicken and rice is overcooked, and they charge me 0.5 for extra sauce, not recommended.

The takeout from this restaurant fell short of expectations: the curry beef was tough to swallow, the chicken and rice were overcooked, and the extra sauce was minimal and came with an unexpected charge. Overall, I wouldnt recommend it.

Literally the best Hainan chicken rice in the GTA, for $11.50 and incl. hot milk tea!!

Wish could give 0 score on service quality. Very very bad experience, they put earning more money than what customers need. The worst experience ever.

Pineapple oil (Skin is crispy. Dough is soft and waxy Hainan Chicken Rice (The chicken is very tender and tasty. The rice is very fragrant Onion and Ginger Chicken Liquid Toast (I was worried that there would be too much liquid, but as long as I carefully wrap every bite of Western Toast, it will be just right in the end. The Western Toast is fried beautifully, and the outside is thin The layer is a bit bland, and it would be nice to have more flavor. It s very greasy after one portion. Pork Chop Crispy Bun (Pork chop is okay. Bread is average. Sauce is too little. Overall too dry. Swiss chicken wings and cheese noodles (Swiss sauce is not flavorful and not rich enough. Chicken wings are average. Pineapple Bun with Ham, Egg and Tomato (The pineapple bun is still delicious as always, and the eggs are also good. Of course it can t be unpalatable, but I still think it s quite redundant to put so many things in the pineapple bun. Simply use pineapple oil its the best Red Sausage, Ham and Egg Curry Rice (Not bad, but just average, nothing impressive Curry Beef Brisket Bun (The portion is substantial. The beef brisket is very tender and the meat itself is good. The curry tastes sufficient and delicious. The bread is average Onion, ginger and chicken (The noodles don t taste good, not enough ingredients, very bland. The chicken is tender. Overall, it s average. Frozen lemon tea + pineapple oil (feeling stale this time) + company sandwich Satay Beef and Egg Sandwich Hainan Chicken Rice (The rice is still delicious, but the chicken is a bit dry Snack platter (the sausages are delicious, the fish and tofu are too fried, the chicken wings are poor, and the seasoning is average) Western toast way too greasy

Great cheap and tasty Cantonese food for takeout. Not open for breakfast. Very small interior is very uncomfortable/loud/hectic to eat in. Cash and debit only. Recommend baked porkchop rice ($9 with a drink) or hainan chicken rice. Order ahead on phone

Curry beef brisket rice and Hainanese chicken rice are both very good

Used to have better food. Their signature Hainan chicken rice was famous and delicious however it has gone downhill lately. Almost impossible to get a seat due to very limited seating. Also the ventilation is not very good. Takeout wait time is quite long too. Price is very reasonable though. Please bring back the taste of the original chicken rice!

Very busy place. Food comes in good portion and not bad. Good for a quick meal or rush meal.

The area against the wall is very dusty, which affects appetite.

Tiny,busy restaurant,hard to find parking Food quality is ok Service was not bad Affordable price Food : 3/5 |

The taste is very good. But a lot of people. So busy

The hainanese chicken rice is super tasty here! I the picture is missing a spicy sauce which they were making and brought over to us after the picture was taken. This place gets busy so make sure to show up early as there isnt much seating and a line can form based on time of day

This is pretty much Hongkong Style Cafe, serving simple quick breakfast or snack as French Toast, pineapple bun with butter, along with milk tea or coffee. I tried pineapple bun with thick slice of butter, it tasted so good brought back many good memories. My son ordered clubhouse sandwiches, also love it. We will definitely re-visit again.

nice food with good price, the place is small and you need to queue for seats.

Good food and you can enjoy if you can find a seat. Or do take out and enjoy it at home.

Great food and very tasty Hainanese chicken rice. It can be a bit cold inside with the door always opening and closing but wear a jacket and youll be fine.

Small coz place, v flavor and tasty yellow hainan chicken rice, with hk milk tea authentic hk style. My only disappointment is there is no soup. Place is v packed, and only can accomodate approx 8ppl standing by the entrance door. Good price $11+ ,able to find parking underground at P2, convenient when its feel like -17. Service is fast.

A busy restaurant. If you want to take out make sure you order ahead. Most of the time it might be at least 20 to 30 minutes wait time.

I ve eaten there so many times that I don t remember the post, but this time I got it 1. The baked rice is delicious and tastes like Hong Kong, and the portion is just right so you don t have to worry about the big portion! 2. I once had a tea meal that was very cost-effective for $6.99. It had satay beef noodles (this satay may be one of the best in Toronto for now) with sausage and eggs. The price was very reasonable 3. Black pepper double grilled rice Went to eat there yesterday. It was really numb. The most important thing was the black pepper sauce that made it numb. But generally speaking, this restaurant is worth recommending

In fact, the time itself is not bad. I started eating in August and had some photos that I didn t post until November. . I thought it was good before, but the more I ate, the better I felt. In fact, you can basically see it just by looking at the baked rice. . . I am more and more disappointed every time. The food was actually good before, but in the later period, I didn t even have the stir-fry base. I just added some juice to the rice and melted the cheese all together. Some people have achieved a quality that I can t keep up with. I hope it can be improved. It s coming down!

My favorite spot for Hainanese chicken rice. Reliable and affordable. Their HK milk tea is also a must try item.

If you are looking for a no-BS, not-made-for-IG, no-bear-shaped-rice-swimming-in-sauce, tasty, great value, restaurant that does hainanese chicken rice right, then you gotta eat here! This is my kind of HK cafe. Good service, super tasty food without breaking the bank. Their hainanese chicken is probably one of the best I have had and that includes trying it in Singapore and HK. I find too many HK restaurants are focused on the look of the food and to make it IG ready (you know who you are!) and they forgot about the most important thing: Flavour! You wont have that problem here. What you may have a problem with is getting a table. This place is always packed with people who recognize HK Cafe game when they taste it.

The signature dish, Hunan Chicken, was fantastic. But the place is too small with the front doors opening and closing so often, it made the area really cold during the meal. Better to grab take out instead.

Good place

Food is delicious,#super busy# I ate couple dish and is it yum. Hainan chicken rice, porkchop, and wings

Place a bit crowded but dishes are good at reasonable price

The quality of food and milk tea so and so, while waiting time is long. But i agree that the price is really good. Worth a try if you can wait.

Reasonable pricing and ok food!

Super delicious and cheap

Their milk tea is tasty. Their rice noodles was too hard n cold. I sent it back n they send another new one but it was still not taste good. Texture is too hard. Their chicken wings are very tasty n size is big too. The french toasts are also pretty good. Size is a bit big. Wish it is a bite size.

Had to wait too long to get a seat. Customer service very bad.

still a great HK style restaurant. With prices increase everywhere, the price is still great here with good quality of food. Too bad the restaurant is a bit small

Recommended by some YouTuber. The Chicken Rice is one of the best. The snack s sampler is a good way to try different snacks together. The milk tea coffee is also up to standard. Our only comment is the French toast is too oily.

Would return to try other food as they got both treats and presentation down even for the simplest staples of Hong Kong food. Just be warned though, seating is limited during busy times. Parking: Most of the time you have to park a bit further or underground as closer spots tend to be taken rather quickly Kid-friendliness: They high chairs available but the spacing is tight

Reasonable price and good taste

The Hainan chicken I was served was raw, 5 pieces out of around 10-12 pieces. I was originally excited to try this place w friends but lost appetite after. I ordered the beef after which was decent after, but I was not given much of an apology about the chicken.

It is a hk style Cafe. The food is decent but price is very good. Meal with milk tea for less than $10 is hard to find these days. Payment machine has min 12% tips. There is no custom option.

Our favourite Hong Kong restaurant so far! The restaurant is relatively small, hence not many seats, we had to wait for maybe 10-15 mins before we were able to get a table. There is a book at the entrance where you could write down your own name and number of pax. It was the first time we went, so luckily there was a couple kind enough to tell us, as we thought people were just standing outside and waiting to be called. It was so difficult to choose what to order, we ended up having baked pork chop rice, one with tomato sauce the classic, another one with curry sauce. Omg they both are so good, seriously no joke. Apparently the hainanese chicken rice is also one of their specialty, almost every other table has that dish. Staff is super friendly and patient, made suggestions and recommendations. Would definitely go back and recommend anyone who hasn t tried it to go try it!

If youre looking for an authentic HK cafe that is affordable without all the bells and whistles, this is it. It might be hard to get a table during peak hours but its for a good reason. The hainanese chicken rice is the most legit thing ever. The French toast is also amazing. I only had a picture of the French toast because I ate my rice the moment it landed on my table. The food was so good that my eyes were just rolled to the back of my head every bite. Sure, the service is not the greatest and you might have to wait awhile but if youre really that impatient that you have to rate this place a 1 star because you had to wait then this place is not for you.

Buttery and crispy pork, delicious! Special pineapple buns with smooth eggs, tomatoes, ham and thick slices of butter! Very distinctive!

Both milk tea and lemon tea are delicious, the food is delicious and the price is very affordable

We stop by here whenever we visit Langham square, and we usually get the Hainanese chicken rice. Chicken is very juicy and their Hong Kong style tea is refreshing, not to sweet. Food came out fast and our server was very nice.

Taste amazing with even more amazing price. The baked curry pork chop and beef brisket with cheese is a must try. But the place is small and super busy so it s a bit chaotic. If you want good food but don t mind waiting for a table, then this is the place to go.

I updated this review based on my recent visits. This place is very small with limited seatings. It seems to be very busy most of the time so expect to wait. From what I saw, most customers orders either the Hainanese Chicken with rice or the Curry Beef brisket, which I love. Except sometimes the beef brisket has nearly 1/4 inches of oil on top of the sauce.

Quick and delicious food in a Hong Kong style cafe.

The price is affordable, but the dining room is slightly small and can only accommodate about 20 people.

There are too few seats, so you have to register and get a seat by yourself, but the price/performance ratio is ok

Good snacks. Hainam chicken

The food is delicious and the price is moderate, although the place is small

Price is good, the quality of food has not compromised either. Just the space is packed.

APRIL 2023 UPDATE: dined in here a couple times recently and enjoyed the Hainanese chicken rice and curry pork chop rice. The food is so worth it the price point with most dishes under $10. The space is very small so theres always a line. *** EDIT: came to grab a quick lunch over the weekend and they were slammed with takeout orders and dine in. Theyre definitely efficient given how busy they are. Food is good. Space is very very tight. *** The food here is quite good, I havent tried much beyond their snacks since I come here when Im craving HK snacks. The fish siu mai is hard to find and tasted good with bouncy texture. Everything has been fresh and tasty. They have 12% discount for pick-up orders now.

Taste ok with good price Normal portion Rice with drink $13 inclusive *always lineup Recommended dishes French Toast, Baked Pork Chop Rice

Came around 11:30am on Saturday with a group of five. There were a few people in line ahead of us, but we were seated relatively quickly (~10 min) at a very cozy booth near the door. Service was cordial but they were very understaffed given the high volume of dine-in and take-out orders. One of the drink orders was wrong, and there was a significant wait between dishes arriving (i.e. three people in our group were done eating by the time the dishes came for two other people). We also made an additional order for a pineapple bun w/ butter that never came. We didnt address the missing/incorrect orders though as they were so busy and it didnt bother us enough to bring it up. That said, the pork chop and chicken steak w/ rice I ordered was cooked well, and the black pepper sauce was great as well. Wouldve liked some more vegetables but overall portion sizes were good for the price. Good spot for classic HK cafe style dishes, as long as youre not in a hurry! 3.5/5

If you have a party of more than 2, go somewhere else unless you want to wait at least an hour. Their wait list is a joke, they prioritize 1 and 2 person parties to maximize turnover, and their seating capacity is only 20 people. Dont let the crowds fool you! The food is nothing to write home about - we ordered the Hainan chicken rice and a combo with a satay beef macaroni and egg sandwich, the satay was so salty I could feel my blood pressure going up. The Hainan chicken was OK, but nothing special. Price is decent, but not worth waiting for. I wasnt full after eating here. The worst part was the service or lack thereof, when we asked when we would get a table because we were already waiting for 45 minutes with a baby, the guy said give me 8 minutes. When he gave us the bill, he had the gall to give us attitude and say see, I said 8 minutes, you got your table in 5. Yeah, what about the other 45 minutes we wasted??

Authentic Hong Kong style tea restaurant

The restaurant is small and the prices are cheap, so there will naturally be a lot of people waiting for a table. If its not the right place to chat with friends, Id be embarrassed to take up too much time.

Very good food

Overall the service and food was good and quick. The space is very small and fits maybe 20ish people max which can result in a long wait during peak lunch hours. Price was very reasonable and like a lot of other Hong Kong cafes, they only accept cash or debit. Parking can also be rather difficult if parking in the outside lot as it can be pretty packed and hectic during busy hours as well.

Long wait to get seated for a table of 2 due to limited tables and small store. Several items on the menu were sold out when we tried to order them. Service was slow, probably due to the numerous take out orders. My moms french toast took a very long time to come out. I finished my pineapple bun before my moms french toast came out. The food was okay, but not something that justifies the long wait times. The milk tea was bland and took a while to come out too.

This is my first and last visited.

Quality and pricing are the reasons why we always go there.

I had their satay beef noodle with egg sandwich and a ying yang tea, and my partner had the curry rice with milk tea. This place is SMALL and only has about 6-7 tables and most seat 2 ppl only. Thus you almost always have to queue a bit; we waited about 15 (although it seems like ppl were generally waiting 20-25 mins for a table of 2). The prices are pretty much unbeatable for casual HK style cafe food! The quality is good for the price and while ive had better HK Milk tea, theirs isnt bad at all! My photo didnt do the food much justice but it tasted better than it looks. It is a bit cramped in there and a bit stuffy, so not the most comfortable seating, but for the price i def wont be complaining.

Good place for Hong Kong style cafe food

Hainanese chicken rice is really delicious, the chicken is very smooth, Hong Kong style tea drinking is just average

Good dood and prices, very long lineup on weekend and holidays

Basic food, good food

Baked Pork Chop Rice - very authentic like our old days in Hong Kong. Hainanese Chicken Rice - came with 3 sauces. Reasonable price and tasty food.

The baked pork chop rice is very authentic from Long list recipes. Missed that taste very much. The french toast with the running salted egg custard sauce inside was delicious. The curry beef brisket in farmer s bun is also very tasty and good

After getting the number, I waited in line for 45 minutes in the strong wind at the door. Finally, someone came out to call the number. Six people, three people, and two people, all of whom arrived later than me, all got in. I asked if my party for 4 people hadn t arrived yet? The waiter had a bad attitude and said We are closing soon...

Normally long wait time and crowded

I will definitely not patronize this restaurant again. Its really hard to buy for money. Before I went in, a friend told me that the food was not good, but I thought about trying it. Maybe everyone s taste is different. Went in and ordered Meal C and Meal E. At the beginning, he put the beef satay that I ordered on the segregation table (on the wrong table), then went back to the kitchen for a while and took it out for me. (I don t know if he has changed it, but the tip was already swollen before they were taken out.) I don t care, the restaurant didn t cook it well. Although other wild foods are not good to eat, especially his cup of frozen milk tea, which has no tea or milk taste, just like a cup of strange-tasting frozen water. I can do the math, just treat it as a personal request/taste. But if you want to miss the order later, if you ask me if I have arrived, I can take care of it and treat it as if you are busy. When I went to pay the bill, I asked him if there was any cash discount or only cash? He told me there was no discount and he would take cash. Then I asked if he only accepts cash or can he accept debit? He was very reluctant to answer like this at first, so he could receive a debit. When comparing the debits later, I couldn t choose how many tips to compare or not to compare, which made me feel weird (normally I like the total number of tips to be the same). So in the end I told him that I would give him cash (I had already decided at that moment that I would not give tips because the service was not good from beginning to end, the food was not good, and if you want to force someone to give you a fixed % of tips, I really couldn t see it) To the point solution than). But when he saw that I had a lot of tips, he told me that I could put my tips in a pocket. I really dont want to ask him about his tips? He didnt answer me. He only said that I could talk to them if I was dissatisfied. I think I am extremely dissatisfied with what you said. You just told me that you must give me tips. Finally, I begged him to put down two coins and leave. It can only be said that money can only buy pain.

Terrible service

Friendly, polite, and accomodating very hong kong vibes!!!!

Theyre seriously lack of staff. If youre in a hurry, dont go to this place. Otherwise, your blood pressure will surely pop up!

Food is good. The chicken rice is good. The chicken is tender. The pork chop is good too but the tomato sauce is not really up to my taste. The milk tea is great. The only drawback here is lack of space. So even at 1:30pm, you may still need to wait 30 mins to 45 mins to get seat.

Cheap small portion food. Cooking is ok

Small restaurant that has only 24 seats. Two booths that can seat 4, the rest of the tables are for 2 persons(but can combine). Expect to wait a while for your table during peak hours. Seems always a line up at this popular Cafe.

Chicken rice is really good. The portion is slightly smaller than regular, but the chicken tastes so good

Hong Kong Cafés are popping up everywhere in Markham. I came across this one in the Langham Square in South Unionville Ave. Theres a small dining area so not recommended for large groups. The menu is pretty simple and serves up some Hong Kong style comfort food. The main attraction here is the Hainanese chicken served on a bamboo style plate. The chicken melts in your mouth, and you have 3 dripping sauces: sweet soy, ginger oil, and spicy sauce. The portions here are generous, and we could not finish our whole meal. Got some food to pack up. The prices here are super reasonable, and most entrées come with a complimentary hot HK milk tea or coffee. You may upgrade to a cold or premium hot drink for extra charge. The wait time wasnt too bad after 2 pm. We got a table in about 20 minutes. I will definitely come back and try some of their daily specials. #whenhungerstrikes #markhamfoodie #hongkongcafe #hkcomfortfood

Got a human hair in my food. Disgusting. Never go to this restaurant again.

We finally got a chance to try this place as it is ALWAYS packed. There are about 10 tables here and can seat about 15-20. It s a really small space hence the long lineups. You leave your name and how many you have in your party and you wait. We arrived at 6:50 and waited for 20 mins on a Tuesday evening (They close at 8). We ordered the Beef Brisket Instant Noodles, Tomato Chicken steak baked Rice, Black Pepper Chicken Steak and Pork Chop on Rice as well as their Egg Yolk Molten French Toast. The prices here are very reasonable, however expect the portions to be small. The entrees come with drink, and we all got the iced lemon tea which was OK. The beef brisket was tough, but their curry sauce was good like the HK style one. The Tomato chicken steak baked rice was really good, however we found a piece of wire from the dish scrubber in the rice. (see photo). The owner I assume, made us an order of the baked rice. The black pepper chicken and pork chop on rice was OK. The owner came and apologized and said that their chef made a mistake while making the Egg Yolk Molten French Toast and they did not feel satisfied serving it to us. (I have NEVER heard that before, and I REALLY wanted to try it). He actually bought a plate of the French toast which was kind of burnt to show us. Honestly, I just feel like they did not want to make anymore or were out of ingredients as they were busy. We noticed that others that came in after 7:30 pm did not have options on the menu as they were sold out of beef brisket, chicken steak etc, so come early if you want to try. The service was good.

Its delicious and cost-effective. I ordered meal C. For me, who has a heavy taste, the addition of chili oil was very appetizing. The eggs of the egg sandwich were also very smooth. The disadvantage is that there is a queue at the store.

The taste is average, the siomai gum powder should be more cooked, and the milk tea is okay. Please note that there is an extra fee for transferring or switching meals

Every time I come to Garden Garden, I order cheese baked chicken rice. I never get tired of it. It s a really cheap and big bowl and I can t finish it every time. Their Hong Kong-style milk tea is also delicious. I ve ordered some snacks before, including pineapple oil butter pig and so on, and I haven t had any trouble.

The signature Hainanese chicken rice is fragrant and smooth, worth recommending

Langham Place Australian Beef, Australian Beef has better food though.

A slice of what to expect if you are to visit Hong Kong and its fast food eatery. Definitely cant wait to try it again.

The taste is great, you can order it as you like without being overly impressed, every dish is so delicious

Hainanese chicken rice has become unpalatable. I won t help you again

Compared with other HK-style restaurant in Toronto, they have the worst food. Most of the foods on their menu are unavailable. The food delivered to your table is cold, not even warm. Highly not recommended. Better to go somewhere else.

Really good prices I got the hainese chicken rice. Everything was well priced and a good amount of food. If you struggling financially in life and want to treat yourself go get some cheap and tastey hk style Cafe food

Their are provided with maple syrup instead of corn syrup resulting in a much delicious toast. Also, for $5 including drink, price is very very cheap. Wait times are very long, especially during peak tea time periods as there are less than 10 tables inside. Service is quick to compensate.

Description in a few words: not worth the wait Service and attitude quite poor from the older lady serving us. She delivered the food to our table with no utensils. When we followed up about the utensils, she got defensive and replied with a what did you order and from where?. I was quite stunned to hear her ask that question given shes the server, and at this point, it shouldnt matter -provide the customer with basic utensils. The milk tea also came way too late - we were about to leave until it came. And then we felt rushed to gulp the milk tea down after having our plates taken away and eager customers staring us down while hearing the waitress say to waiting customers that well be done soon. Just not worth it.

One of the best Hainanese chicken rice in Markham. I believe it is one of places that comes with all three sauces. Chicken meat quality and the rice with chicken oil are always good, but portion is a bit small. For lunch, it might not be enough! Also the bake cheese chicken rice is always good. I add the scramble egg on side for $1. Everything is good, but need to wait at least 45 mins during lunch time, which is a down side.

The food quality is ok. Not as good as many people claimed on the web. The is on average quality. Manna Kitchen across the street is better. The pork rice with tomato sauce is not good. Also. Their tips option on the payment machine has fixed percentage starting from 12%. No manual input of tips %.

Would recommend only if you have plenty of time to spare.. There is always a line up here The price you pay for what you get is cheap.. Yummy lunch (satay beef with instant noodles with a egg sandwich and small drink) is less then $10 Food quality is definitely worth more then the $9 you pay.. BUT.. there is always a line up

Be prepared to wait! We came to try to hainanese chicken. It was good quite similar to the ones you can get from Phoenix. Service is typical HK cafe service. To be honest if you are here just to try the chicken I wouldnt say it is worth the wait.

Hk style food here was excellent. Kind of cramped.

We visited this place multiple times. First visit was great. But each time we visited it felt like the quality kept declining. You re lucky if the Haianese Chicken dish is not sold out. Even if you call in advance to confirm, it doesn t make a difference. They no longer tell you if the dish is sold out. Until you go in sit down and place the order. Somehow we always miss it by being 1 table too late, whether it s lunch or dinner. We will be giving up and going somewhere else for this dish. Seems you only truly get lucky to eat it 2/6 times.

This tea restaurant is small but very popular, and you can often see people queuing up at the door. There are not many seats in the store, and the takeout ratio is high. Personally, I think dining in is the best way to taste it. The signature must-order Hainanese chicken rice has a fragrant chicken fat flavor, and the rice is dry but not greasy. The protagonists chicken is very slippery and does not smell like snow. The chicken leg meat tastes great. The three-color sauce matches the taste of Hainanese chicken rice. It feels like everyone who has eaten it will fall in love with it. The hand-shredded ginger and scallion chicken rice is also good, with a Cantonese-style taste. There are 4 different snacks in the Da Si Xi snack platter, 2 pieces each. My favorite is the Swiss chicken wings.

Bad service

A very small Hong Kong style cafe. Well run cafe, efficient service but there is a definite wait (45 mins~) for a table (especially for lunch). Recommended dishes

The d person said that it was so good and delicious, and I felt that Maano called it not bad, but I had to wait in a long line for a seat to eat the fruit. The Hainanese chicken is tender, but neither the rice nor the sauce is fragrant enough, and the chicken fat is lacking.

In addition to the fine place, the food is surprising. Cheap and good quality. Have to wait for a table during busy times.

Reasonably priced with good qualities

The chicken is ok but the rice is too soggy. Take it away. It s almost time for spring.

One of the best HK places in the area

The cheese noodles are so authentic and so cheap

Best restaurant in Toronto! The price is good and the food is excellent. I would go to this restaurant every day if I could!

Food was great, but the dining area is tiny, not much service provided, our drinks were made after we finished all our meals, and rude services Also mandatory tips for at least 12%

Came here during weekend lunch hour, busy and line up as usual. Hainan chicken rice is good. Price is affordable. Hk styled French toast tasted bad, too wet tasted like homemade. The restaurant is small in general.

Came on a recommendation for their Haianese Chicken rice. The place is pretty small and could fit 15-20 people. There can be line ups. For the price, its very good. Not the best Haianese Chicken you will have but it will be the best youll likely find in Toronto for the price. The chicken is good and the sauces are not bad at all. Portions are very reasonable. I recommend it for anyone looking for a very serviceable meal at a very reasonable price.

The service was excellent, and the taste was unexpectedly good, a double surprise!

I love going to HK style cafes so I was happy to have some chicken steak baked rice with gravy and cheese. It was absolutely delicious. Both my son and I loved it. The lemon tea was good too. We also ordered chicken wings and they were pretty good as well.

Hainan chicken rice is great

I went with my family (the three of us) and it was good the menu doesn t have that many things but it is just a cafe and it s a small place. Waiter was very carefree and blunt and we didn t even stay long or talk that much but one of the other waiters was clearly walking back and forth staring at us and we felt uncomfortable because they were clearly rushing us. I get you have other customers to serve but we were effectively using our time to eat and didn t chat that much because we re respectful and we don t want to take up so much space. Mind you this is our second time here we ve been here august 2022.

Is this Thick Toast with peanut butter and condensed milk?!!

Cooking with heart. No reservations, and keep waiting for seats any time.

WOW what a treat! Again, if you are looking for a true Hong Kong style meal, look no further. Five of us Hongkongers came, and we were all blown away by the quality of the food, and the price point it carries. We each had a rice with either pork or chicken with the tomato sauce au gratin ( ). Both the chicken and pork were really juicy, tasty and flavourful. The pork was thick and meaty too! The milk tea was rich and just like the good one youd get from Hong Kong! And all that came to around $15/person, food, drinks, taxes, tips! Id be back a lot more often it this wasnt so far from me but id also be looking forward to trying out other items!

Nice to dine here, food is acceptable.
