茶記 Cha Kee Restaurant (Markham)

I've ordered from here before and have always had a good experience. However, I was extremely disappointed when I opened my bag and received this. I ordered Satay Beef Udon. I was charged $13.49 for less than half a container of noodles and some beef. I would love to give them another chance, as the food is overall tasty.

Food is really great, as well as the service is superb. Price is reasonable, portion is large. We always get 3 orders of food for 4 people. By far the best Hong Kong Style restaurant in Toronto. Definitely a 5-star plus!!

Great milk tea with full flavour and orange peel. But can’t say same of the Fish fillets with spaghetti on cream sauce ($17.00). It was totally tasteless like eating raw spaghetti without the sauce. The chef should quit his profession or take a refresher cooking program. I can cook tastier meals anytime at home. Though the restaurant is quite busy, I think it is because there are more Chinese and fewer restaurants in that area. Good luck to them.

Fast service and solid HK cafe food. This place specializes in egg dishes and definitely did not disappoint. We got the satay beef egg on pineapple bun and the truffle egg toast. Flavors were excellent, eggs were soft and silky, and drinks had the classic standard HK flavors one would expect. It was a nice stop after a walk in the nearby parks.

Cha Kee is modern, clean and I was impressed with the number of staff working here. I was greeted right away by a friendly staff and got seated. As I examined the menu, I noticed they don't offer the typical "Cha Chan Tang" afternoon tea special, instead they offer many "Daily Special" and "All-Day Menu". Nevertheless, the pricing is reasonable, it's competitive from other Cha Chan Tang in the nearby area. I ordered a grilled pork chop soup noodles, ideally, I prefer "Ho Fun" but they don't offer that, as they offer rice noodles, spaghetti or macaroni. I chose spaghetti. The meal was $10.99 CDN + tax and including a hot or cold beverage. Interestingly, cold beverage is no extra charge, which many other places asked for extra $1.50 for cold beverage and no extra cost for hot beverage. I opted for a cold iced lemon tea. Within 2 seconds, they already handed me the lemon tea, which was the only slight drawback. Normally, other places would take their time to brew the tea and then prepare the lemon tea. Clearly this place has pre-prepared a bunch of iced lemon tea so whoever ordered, they just hand it to the customers, which I prefer not being handed to me so quickly as I am not in a rush. Other than that, the iced lemon tea was served in a big plastic cup and it's flavourful. Then, my grilled pork chop soup noodles arrived. Kudos to the Cha Kee for serving the grilled pork chop on a separate plate from the soup noodles so that the pork chops aren't being soggy flowing on the broth. Many places don't care and just serve it in one bowl to save washing an extra plate but pork chop being served on a separate avoid the meat from being soggy in the broth. They also asked if I want the pork chop to be wholesome or prefer to be cut into strips to be easier to be indulged which is very attentive. Thank you Cha Kee! The broth has a good flavour and I appreciate the sprinkle of green onions. I do, however wish Cha Kee offers fried pork chop or pork cutlet as I prefer more crispy meat than just grill. Thus, I do wish they offer various cooking style of the pork chop. Overall, I like how clean and modern this restaurant is. The friendly staff and they offer 10% off if pay by cash. Moreover, I enjoy the food menu design, it's cute and I like the font, it's very inviting to look over the entirety of the food offerings. I would definitely come back!

Food is not bad. The milk tea very good. Maybe a bit on the pricey side for what it is and what you get. Hong Kong breakfast usually comes with protein of choice (bacon, ham, etc) but they do not have that with the meal. The staff is friendly and attentive. Inside is very clean.

The servers here were soooo nice and really went the extra mile for families with young children! The food was delicious and well seasoned, though personally I needed more sugar for my iced lemon tea. The combos and drinks were good value and there was no extra charge for iced drinks. My only feedback is that the scrambled eggs could be fluffier but that's a personal preference. 10/10 would recommend going otherwise and recommend the chicken wings and HK french toast with peanut butter.

Food is pretty average. nothing was particularly good or bad. The portions and quality of the food did not match the pricetag. I would say they charge approximately $2-3 more than other restaurants without the food being any better. A baked pork chops rice is typically about $13 plus tax. But Cha Kee charges $16. The service was good and pretty fast. By far the best thing about this place is that cold drinks are not extra. The iced milk tea was good. I would be open to eating here again, but would most likely have better options in the area.
