What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ This is definitely a go to place for junky comfort food. A hug for the weary soul after a hard day at work. By no means fancy food.. But predictable tried and true common food. Club sandwich with fries, baked pork chop over rice with tomato sauce, seafood fettuccine, creamy soups, noodles, and lemon iced tea. ”
“ Ordered Baked Portugese Chicken for dinner, the amount of rice and chicken was generous and was absolutely delicious. First of all, the fried rice was well made. Not sticky or mushy, with a little bit of chewiness and eggy. Secondly was the chicken, tender and well seasoned. Thirdly there were some fried potatoes as a side, which was crispy. Finally was the soul, the Portugese sauce. It was perfectly seasoned, not too salty and with a hint of coconut milk. The only complaint that I can make is that if they can put some onions or carrots as a side, it will even be better, but I would give it a 5/5. ”
“ This place is real og and it's nearing 2 decades. Silver tower is a heavyweight contender for Hong Kong style cafe. This location has been a fantastic staple. The food is delicious. The parking is terrible. The Cafe Aunties can be bi polar at times. It's cash only and don't you ever forget that 10% minimum tip haha. Actually I think it's 12% minimum tip now. I've eaten so many dishes here over the years. Most of them are late night ones too. This place is great comfort food. ”
“ Prices have gone up over the years but food quality has been pretty consistent over the last decade. The servers here are certified GOATs and efficiently take care of 15+ tables by themselves and work the cash register too. To be honest I would only recommend ST as a late night spot but of that category, it is probably the best. Drinks are solid as well, expect to spend $15-25/person. My favourites are their western Hk cafe dishes such as the baked rice dishes, the clubhouse sandwich, and the three choice. Their cutlet fish and pork are great. ”
“ It’s true, the prices have gone up and the service is non-existent at best, but it is nostalgic and the grilled meats are really good! I always get the 2-choice set meal with grilled chicken/beef or pork, spaghetti, beef gravy, and cream soup. The cream soup is difficult to find these days and it’s really good, reminds me of the kind I had in Hong Kong. The portions are large and the set meal comes with a free drink. If you want something that is predictable and you don’t care about poor service at all, this is a semi-pricey option for you! They don’t take credit and no split bills. ”
