  • If I were to describe Dickens, it would simply be luxury cha-chan tang. Dickens is by far the priciest HK style cafe I've been to. It's worth it though if you ask me!! Pros: "Higher quality" HK style cafe food Big portions Cons: Prices are a lot higher than other HK style cafes I've always wanted to try Dickens. I've heard many things about it in the past. Being the long weekend we took a trip up and finally decided to have a bite there. When we come in, we're greeted immediately and shown a table. The staff seeing we have our little one with her seat in tow, bring a blanket to put over the chair she would be sitting on to keep her seat from slipping. That was very nice and seemed like something they do automatically. One look at Dickens menu lets you know they don't mess around. The prices are definitely higher than any other HK style cafe I've been too. I've never seen a lunch special menu with nothing under $8.99. We ordered hoping it would be worth it. We were not disappointed. I ordered the pan fried chicken steak and my GF had the baked fish on rice. All lunch specials come with soup, garlic bread and a drink. Most places you only get a drink so it already justifies the price increase a little bit. When the food came out, I was very impressed with the portion size. I've never had a chicken steak so big before. It was very tender too. The spinach and mushroom cream sauce it came with was one of the best I've had as well. My GF's baked fish came with the exact same sauce but with lots of shredded cheese on top. Both dishes were very good. They weren''t stop the presses good, but you could definitely feel like the food was of a higher quality than you would expect at other HK style cafes. One thing to note is that drink you get with your meal. Unless you specify it, the drink will come at the end of your meal when the staff sees you're done. I guess they are trying to be like western restaurants in which they always ask if you want coffee or tea at the end of your meal. We didn't know this since it was our first time. If you're someone like me who likes to have a drink at the same time, please note this. I noticed that some people complain about the cash only thing. I never came before when they didn't do cash only, but you should assume all these HK style cafes are almost always cash only so it's not a big deal for me. All in all, Dickens really impressed me. It was an overall very good experience. I will definitely be back If I'm craving cha-chaan tang and want a little bit more than usual.
