Hubby and I needed something hot and quick and comforting to eat as we're both battling a cold so I decided we should try this place out. The cafe itself is located in a small plaza within the mixed use building on the corner of Woodbine Avenue and Hooper Road. The cafe is spacious yet cozy with wooden live edge style tables suitable for parties up to 8 people in the central part of the restaurant, and booths and smaller tables towards the periphery.
The cafe features a Hong Kong style menu with lunch specials from 12-5pm and happy hour specials from 2:30-4:30pm. Specials are served with choice of coffee or HK style milk tea, or cold drinks for an additional $1.25. Dinner menu features Cantonese style cuisine.
I ordered beef with rice noodle soup with satay sauce from the happy hour menu. The menu indicated that the soup was spicy but it was not. For $6 including HK milk tea, it made for a cheap and cheerful lunch that pretty much was enough for hubby and myself (plus a few bites of the fried rice with Singapore sauce that he ordered). His fried rice ($8.25) had a decent amount of beef in it and was generous in portion size. We ate about 1/3 of his rice and still had enough leftovers to fill a large takeout container.
Dinner menu items are several dollars more expensive. Yang chow fried rice is $8.25 on the lunch menu but $10.95 on the dinner menu! We'll be back but most likely for lunch or afternoon snack.
