★★★★★ 5.0 Tony Huynh · Feb 2026

Service was very attentive and friendly. Didn't have to wait long to get food or flag anyone down. The staff was always walking around and looking at tables, cleaning up and refilling water without asking. It's pretty good HK comfort food, no complaints here. The prices are lower than other Chinese restaurants on 86st so it's reasonable I'd say.

I see a lot of reviews about poor service, but I stopped by this new cha chaan teng just a week after they opened, and overall it was a really solid experience especially if you’re craving quick, tasty Hong Kong–style comfort food. The food was the highlight. Everything came out hot and flavorful, exactly the kind of no-nonsense HK cafe dishes you want. The HK milk tea was especially impressive — strong, silky, and authentically brewed, not the watered-down version some places serve. For a spot this new, they already have the flavors dialed in.

The staff were friendly and cl

The food was really bad and lacked flavor. The service was unimpressive, and the prices were unreasonably high compared to other places. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Frances Leung · Nov 2025

I have dined at the Legend Cafe on New Utrecht Ave and decided to try this new location this weekend. The foods were decent. But service really needed to greatly improve. It was fine for the first few minutes after we were seated. Menus and water were promptly provided. But we had to flag down a waitress to order. During the first round of food, my soup was delivered without a spoon. I noticed immediately when the waitress placed the soup on the table. I asked for a spoon but she had already quickly turned around and hurried back towards the kitchen area and never heard my request. After a few minutes, I asked the male manager instead. When the second round of food arrived, we asked her for knives since we anticipated needing them for the 3rd round. The waitress returned a few minutes late
