Service here is amazing. Best Hong Kong bistro hidden gem. Spaghetti and baked pork chop isnsos good. Get the iced lemon tea. Maybe some chicken wings. It's cash and debit only here. Love this on a weekend brunch
Coworker and I had a craving for some Hainanese Chicken after several failed attempts to find a decent one in downtown Toronto. After reading some blogs about best Hainanese chicken we were excited to try this place as it was voted as a good one and it was near where we work.
We learned that Hong Kong Bistro Cafe has been there since 1989. There are so many choices in Chinatown that this one is easy it miss. It's right beside HSBC and you have to go up a flight of stairs to get there. Please note this place is closed on Tuesdays, like many other establishments in Chinatown.
It restaurant was about 75% full and we waited patiently for the food however I will say that it took awhile. I don't know if it's because we both ordered the same thing and we had seen one other customer get the same dish (before us). Maybe they only keep 1 or 2 of them in the backburners so they had to make a fresh one. Either way, I'm typically used to getting food in about 5-10 minutes at any other restaurant in the Chinatown area but here the food took about 20-25 minutes to arrive.
Their Hainanese chicken did not disappoint. The portion is absolutely huge and the price comes out to around $18 after tip.
I would highly recommend this place and I will be coming back.

We saw this place has higher rating in Chinatown, and we wanted to go to a HK style cafe. So, here we are.
At first, we went to the place on the first floor by mistake and noticed everyone was having different kinds of food!
We ordered a T-bone meal that came with a daily soup, baked pork chop rice, and a HK style mix of tea and coffee.
The portion were big. We should have just ordered one dish! T-bone was great on a sizzling hot plate with gravy, it also came with rice or spaghetti and vegetables. Daily soup, bitter melon with pork. was unexpected good.
For baked pork chop rice, the pork chop was too deep fried for me and the flavour of the sauce was lighter than expected. The fried rice was pretty good, though; it was still good when I had it for lunch the next day.
HK style mix of tea and coffee was quite good as well. They had two tall tea spots, and we guessed they did it in the proper way.

Your classic HK cafe style, food here is fantastic. Really great value lunch specials for $14.95 plus tax that comes with a drink and a soup. The three options we had to choose from were a pork chop in garlic sauce with rice, curry beef brisket, and chicken with cream sauce. Each person at our table tried one and we all left full and happy!
Service here is nice but mostly just understaffed because it is one nice lady doing most of the serving while the guy makes the drinks and works the counter. Atmosphere is okay. Overall worth it for the food though!

The lady wearing round glasses were so so SO friendly and welcoming. I love her.
She treated us so well with smile!
The food was good, I found the meat to be a bit greasy, but liked the rice.
A good staple restaurant!

Been here twice, love the food, very authentic hong kong food. The two ladies waitresses are very nice and friendly. However the guy(at the cashier/bar) is kinda rude, we know he could speak Cantonese so we spoke Cantonese to him, and he spoke to us in English, which is totally fine!
The problem is, after we finished our meal and drinks, he came to us and spoke in Cantonese, “Chat next time, many people are waiting outside” His tone was very rude and annoying, and forced us to leave.
Each main dish is around $20, without drinks. We order two main dishes and two drinks, of course we wanted to enjoy the food and relax a bit. I don’t think anyone could leave right after they finish the meal. Also, we only spent less than 10 minutes after we finished everything and I still have some drinks left.
If you open a restaurant and expect everyone to leave right after they finish the food, maybe you should open a takeaway restaurant. If you asked us to leave politely, we are willing to do so. But we waited 30 minutes for the food, even the drinks are later than the food, and you forced us to leave immediately after we had our meal, this is unacceptable.
Even the food is pretty good, we might not come back again.

HK cafe located on the second floor. Staff was really friendly and the food was reasonably prices with good portions.
The meals come with soup which is a great appetizer! Everything we got was tasty, especially the baked pork chop on rice. It was my first time having it and will definitely come back again.

The club sandwich is amazing here!! But be warned it is not available during busy times (lunch rush or weekends) also it may take 40 mins for it to be made. My partner always gets the peppercorn sauce chicken.
This family run business has been around for a long time, the son and daughter work the front of house while the parents are working in the kitchen.
