    This Hong Kong cafe is located on the second floor inside Dragon City.

    CASH ONLY.

    This cafe is your typical HK foods, with affordable prices too. There are set dinners/combos, etc. (Usually comes with a soup and coffee/tea).

    We ordered the Baked Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Steak with Bacon and Mushroom on Rice. Both were $9 and came with soup + drink. Both dishes needed more sauce, but overall still pretty decent.

    Service was fast and our server was really nice. If I'm ever craving HK cafe food, I'll definitely come back. There was a decent amount of variety here.

    Food- great

    Service-aight

    Server added 20% tip on my bill without letting me know. I had to double check with her cause it was too high compared to what I bought.  

    Check your bill before paying.

    This is the restaurant my friends and I go almost every Friday.

    [Location] 5/5
    It is located in Chinatown (Dundas St W and Spadina Ave), inside Dragon City on the second floor.

    [Service] 4/5
    The waitress were very friendly because they recognized us as soon as we entered the restaurant

    [Food Quality] 3/5
    It is typical Chinese (Cantonese) style food. Great portion, cheap price with acceptable taste.

    [Overall] 4/5
    For people live in Downtown, it is a good place where you can easily feed yourself with around $13.

    This is one of the most underrated restaurants in Chinatown. I really like Canteen because it is delicious and inexpensive. For only $12, you can get a combo. I usually get the baked fish with bacon and cream sauce on spaghetti, chinese soup and milk tea/lemon iced tea. I try to go more often but it is one of my go-to restaurants in Chinatown.
