Sun Yee Café

I love Hong Kong style «cha chaan tang». Cheap food, loud people, booth seating. Aaaahhh, I love it!
We got here in the mid-​afternoon so perfect time for the afternoon meal deals. We ordered a baked bolognese spaghetti and a baked seafood on rice with 2 «ying yeungs» (a tea and coffee mix).
Service and price are on par with other cha chaan tangs (ie, don’t expect much).

Was there last night to get a lamb/​sausage dinner special — it was horrible. Lamb was not cooked — close to having blood dripping… crumbs on the lamb tasted burnt… asked them to somehow make it so the blood would stop dripping and the result was more burnt crumbs on top of the lamb — still dripping blood and cold… Could be the western dishes they can’t handle not sure. Will never go back again.

First time coming here for lunch and it was *packed*. It’s seriously ‘cheep-​cheep’ so it’s I guess it’s no surprise for the area. We were seated by the door and everyone waiting for a table decided to stand around our table. Bacdafucup.
We ordered salted fish & diced chicken fried rice and some Malay-​style dry-​fried beef flat noodles. I can immediately tell something wasn’t right just by looking at the dishes. The rice was mushy and noodles had no flavour even though the waitresses warned it was spicy — it was bland.
The fuck, man? We didn’t finish it because the dishes weren’t very tasty. Out of force of habit, I packed up the rice and left the noodles. It’s still sitting in my car… I think I going to toss it. I don’t remember that last time I did something like this. I feel horrible about wasting food — but holy hell, it was difficult to eat.
Definitely a 2-​star meal… but I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt, chalk it up to an off day and just drop it to a 3-​star. It’s cheap — but is Sun Yee ever a dice roll.

This place use to be called hollywood for those who recognize the location. The food here is pretty good and the value is great. The downside is the service. There really isn’t much service. Tonight we had dinner with my family of 5 and the bill came out to 36 bucks before tip. That’s for 4 dishes, soup, and dessert. Lots of options as well if you don’t feel like chinese food. Like other cafes they have western alternatives like steak, chicken steak, spaghetti, etc. YAY! I’M A FAN.
