Metro Square Cafe Restaurant

All day breakfast HK style. They’re egg sandwich and milk tea are my comfort foods from here. Can get packed on weekends late mornings coz of the church across the street. Everything else is average HK café style food.

Best café I have ever been to! All of the food we had never needed any extra seasoning. I would totally come again!

I know this place has been here for quite a while but never really had this in mind whenever I ever went uptown. Surprisingly this place looked renovated, not sure if newly renovated or what not but seemed refreshed or modernized. They have this menu wall paper which is a neat idea and the restaurant itself is clean and spacious. It is busy so it definitely isn’t a bad HK Café. The menu has it’s variety and from what I recall most meals include a drink and price starts at $ 6. The items ordered were a spaghetti with fish in a cream sauce and a baked pork chop rice. I liked how the tomato sauce with the pork chop rice had fresh tomatoes. The fish item was alright, but would not be something I would order again. Usually, I would order a hot milk tea but this time wanted a yin yang (tea and coffee mix) — it was not bad.
Food and drink wise I would say were okay. I would need to come again. Perhaps their simple sandwich items

With an average of 4 stars I was expecting better. Maybe I ordered the wrong stuff but definitely below average for me. But then again you do get what you pay for. The prices here are pretty low when you select from their special lunch menu. I got the all day break fast meal for $ 7.50 which came with cream soup, 2 eggs, ham, a slice of bread, steak pieces with spaghetti noodles in soup and milk tea. It sounds like a lot on paper but its a pretty simple dish. Things I didn’t like about the meal: The cream soup was bland and had nothing in it. Bread was cold and didn’t taste fresh, Noodles were too soft and the steak pieces were way below average.
Also got a chance to try the ox tongue dish. This one was actually A okay. The ox tongue was soft and tender and tasted good.
Service was fast even though the place was busy.
Overall, good prices with decent food done quickly.

I came here for the first time with my buddy who lived in the area. It’s a cantonese «fast food» place with lots of price friendly items. I ordered a milk tea and a pineapple bun with butter. My buddy got a full meal and by the time he finished eating his meal, my pineapple bun was nowhere to be found. So I asked the server about my missing order and was informed that they ran out of pineapple buns. Okay, you could have told me that when I ordered. At least the milk tea was good. However, just after I asked the question, the server came and slammed our bill on the table. I’ve been to many similar Chinese/​cantonese establishments and this was definitely definitely on the rude side of things. Sorry, even good milk tea would not convince me to come back here.

I used to come here for lunch to have their all day specials, but decided to come here for dinner tonight, a bit more time and less rushed. They are definitely not as busy during dinner compared to lunch.
I must have not been here in a while because it looks like they renovated the place. They now have pretty graphics on the wall with suggestions of what to eat, and pictures of some dishes on the posts.
I ordered a Hoi Nam chicken rice as I saw the picture on the wall and it looked nicely presented. For $ 7.50 including soup and a drink, I found it at a great deal. The two sauces were very flavourful, the rice had a good chicken taste. The only downfall I found was that most of the places I have gone to have the chicken bones removed. This dish had all the bones in there, and they were broken up too, so had to be careful while I was eating it.
I enjoy having their daily special with instant noodle and protein with 2 eggs, and condensed Milk toast for 6.50!
Overall cannot complain too much because the prices are very reasonable and the quality is pretty good! Great place if you’re craving some hk afternoon tea.

I have been to this place many times now. For a Hong Kong style diner, the food is good and very affordable. I normally come here for breakfast/​brunch. My favorite item on their all day special menu is the Satay Meal. You get a drink (Hong Kong milk tea!!!), a sandwich (egg sandwich — so far this place makes it the best out of similar places I have been to), and a noodle dish. In my opinion, this is a great place to come to for a quick breakfast/​brunch.

BEST egg sandwiches EVER! Believe me, I’ve tried many Toronto HK style cafes and this place tops them all on egg sandwiches AND HK style milk tea. Their egg sandwiches are soft, fluffy and juicy. Milk tea is consistently rich and flavorful. I’ve been an avid customer since its opening and they have never failed to impress
Recommendations: egg sandwich, milk tea, HK style curry chicken rice and their stone plate dinner sets (steak, fish fillet)!

Typical hongkong style place. Some dishes are good, some dishes are bad. Generally bland. But really cheap nonetheless.
Their corned beef sandwich tastes great, it could use more meat, as there was more toast than meat.
And when I tried their sizzling steak, I was not impressed at all. The steak and chicken were so bland. The $ 9.99 whole dinner set was a huge meal, but it extremely lacks taste. You get what you pay for in this place.

Came for breakfast today. There was not as many patrons as usual because of the wet weather. I don’t usually come on weekends because there is always a really long line up for tables. Today, we waited for 5 minutes.
We ordered our foods and they came out really fast, as usual. We ordered 4 of the all day breakfast specials. My daughter got the spaghetti and bacon in soup with toast, 2 eggs, sausage and ham. That was only $ 6.50 including hot drink. My son got the satay beef vermicelli with an egg sandwich. My brother got the instant noodles with ham and egg and 1 piece of condensed milk brick toast. I ordered the beef tendon and brisket soup rice noodle. All our food and drinks were good.
I like that this café does serve breakfast items after 11am, as we don’t always make it before 11 am, especially at the weekend. We have tried some of the other foods before and they were quite good too. It looks nicer too now, after their recent reno.

I’d forgotten how much I loved this place while I was in school, and now that I’ve revisited, it’s the same amazing HK milk tea, cheap «all-​day breakfast» options and afternoon tea options too. Only difference is that now it’s newly renovated and has a much cleaner, sleeker feel to it.
Came with the BF after running errands all morning and early afternoon. I ordered the Satay meal off the breakfast menu ($~7) which includes an egg or ham sandwich, satay beef with vermicelli and tea/​coffee. The egg sandwich was SO fluffy, and fresh HK style bread. The noodles were good too, and for such a bargain price! BF got a much less impressive dish, though… baked pork on macaroni with cheese. I pictured the usual baked dishes, all thick and hearty, but this one was more like baked, pieces of cardboard on KD. I’ll stick to my classic HK diner orders from now on.
Such cheap! So yum! Mental note to bring the papa out here next time — he LOVES good milk tea!

My wife was hungry and decided to try this place. It was busy but we found a place to sit. My wife had a noodle soup with lunch meat and egg with french toast and carnation milk. I was not that hungry so I had the toasted pineapple bun. Both came with milk tea. The food came quickly. Everything was delicious. My wife even said it reminded her of great Hong Kong style she used to have. The price was also reasonable. Will certainly return.

Very reasonably priced food, & a variety of delicious dishes, fast & efficient service, friendly wait staff, and newly renovated clean surroundings! Definitely coming back!

Awesome little Hong Kong style restaurant with really quick service. They just renovated so the interior looks nicer than typical Kong Kong style food restaurants. It’s located at the corner of Metro beside Gong Cha! Turn left when coming in from side-​street. 8am — 10pm, cash only. Free wifi!

Newly renovated for 12 years anniversary. Free wifi, unlimited soup and garlic bread on dinner sets 10% off your bill until further notice. Food portion is awesome, order a filet mignon with two big pieces. I end up talking half home for next day. $ 14.99 comes with a sizzling plate, drink, salad, spaghetti or rice and unlimited soup & garlic bread. Is definitely a steal in Markham!

I like it here! Service is great and the dishes I have had here were consistently good, like the baked Portuguese chicken on spaghetti and the mac and cheese… Yum! The spaghetti in meat sauce wasn’t as good as the one at Yogi Noodle, but then again, Phoenix’s spaghetti in meat sauce isn’t as good as Yogi’s either. Anyway, I will definitely be back and am looking forward to trying the seafood and chicken a LA king with cream sauce next time!

This review is specifically for two things.
First is their pork cutlet set dinner. It’s $ 10.99 and comes with soup (choice between two dailies), salad (not your typical Chinese potato salad thing), garlic bread (cheap but delicious), two huge, juicy, crispy pieces of pork cutlet, rice or spaghetti, veggies, ice cream (usually topped with shredded coconut), and hot drink (I like the ovaltine). I like to choose the black pepper sauce with my dinner. This is enough for two people. Soup and garlic bread used to be be unlimited. Not sure if that’s still the case. Ah. Tip for those like me who aren’t particularly into salad. For a dollar or two more, you can change your salad to chicken wings. The chicken wings are delicious. I’m a huge fan of pork cutlets, and I’d have to say that this place has the best ones. They’re spot on every time. They’re also like $ 3.99/piece if you order them individually.
Second thing is any of their baked rices/spaghetti’s. Most Chinese places make their baked rices by sticking them in the oven a while and letting the sauce develop that skin-​like layer on top/​brown a tad. Metro Square Café Restaurant puts cheese on it and lets the cheese bake away. It’s mouthwatering. If other restaurants use cheese, it’s not nearly as much cheese as this place puts on. Their fried rice base for their baked rices is also really good.
One interesting thing to note about this place. They put eggplant in their curry. Unique, but delicious.

So I just finished my afternoon tea for 6 $. I got a club sandwich which came with fries and milk tea! What a deal! What I like about this place is although they get busy they don’t neglect the customers, no mater how small their order! Two thumbs up :)

This is a very good HK style café. I’ve came here once for breakfast and it was packed. It’s fairly good value for what you pay for. I came today for their afternoon tea specials that start under $ 3. I ordered a corn beef and egg sandwich and a coffee for 3.99. The coffee was actually very good. They also have many other items that are inexpensive and looks very good but I just wanted a snack. I’m going to make sure I come back again to try their other combos. The service was also quick and friendly.

I come to this place every so often if I’m in the area (usually if I’m getting a haircut down by Simon I’d come here).
Don’t be underwhelmed by what seems like a lack of selections in here. If you look around the walls you’ll see a lot more choices for your meal (e.g: Baked rice/​spaghetti, steak, kids meal, etc). In fact, this place has quite a huge variety in food choices.
I usually go with their all day exotic meal which consists of a milk toast, abalone with shredded chicken and ham + macaroni, which tastes quite decent. I’ve also had their beef brisket special as well as the instant noodle special, which also tastes pretty good for what it’s worth.
Iced lemon tea is not the best here, extremely bitter taste. Unfortunately it’s the best around the area, as none of the food court stalls have good iced lemon tea.
Service is good if the place isn’t busy and if you’re not sitting by the far corner, but if it gets busy you may need to wave down someone for service.
