We quite enjoyed our meal here. We had the shredded beef with black bean sauce which was actually very good. The sauce was quite delicious but there wasn't much meat mostly vegetables. We also had the garlic gai lan which were ok but not my favorite. The garlic flavor was not very strong and some tasted a bit burnt. Our final dish was the sweet and sour pork and that one was also very good.They do give tea but I actually burnt my hand trying to move the cup from one side of the table. The tea was extremely hot and the cup they used was glass which obviously got super hot. Overall we would go back to try some more dishes.

Went to dinner with a group of friends and pre-ordered some items in addition to ordering more in person. Some confirmed preorder items (short ribs and shrimp balls) never arrived. In addition, the fish and tiger prawn didn’t seem fresh, they were cold when they were served. The vegetables were over cooked. Originally had chosen Hong Kong Cafe based on a friend’s recommendation and so I was extremely disappointed. Only positive was our great server!

Expect long waits during peak meal times. But it's worth it because it's the very few restaurants in Edmonton that serves HK styled food. The food does come quick once you ordered. They are efficient in serving you and turn over tables really fast. Just do everyone a favour and be quick in deciding and ordering your meals, eat quick and don't linger around chit chatting. Just order, eat and go. You will let everyone else have a chance to enjoy.

Huge portion sizes, fast service, extensive menu, tasty eats. This is the Chinese BP - open late, comfort food and the staples of growing up. Love this place. Staff is helpful, usually pretty busy, but you can get a table pretty quickly.

Located near the South Edmonton Common area, this modern-style restaurant offers a HUGE menu with a variety of Chinese and global dishes. However, depending on when you visit they can be out of many menu items when you try to order. I have been here on two separate occasions, and in terms of service, I definitely think it could have been better. I found that they really liked to upsell random expensive dishes when you ask what tastes great or what is popular. Also, considering there are no pictures or detailed dish descriptors it would have been nice for them to tell you what is being dropped off at the table.We ordered a plethora of items so I feel like I have a good sense of the menu and what they have to offer. I tried the Spring rolls, Sweet and Sour Pork, Spare Ribs with Garlic & Chilis, BBQ Pork, Special Fried Rice, Fried Rice with Black Truffle & Minced Beef, Curry Beef Brisket, Broccoli & Garlic, Crispy Prawn Balls, and BBQ/Peking Duck. One thing I love about this place is that the portions are huge, and are totally meant for sharing.To highlight some of my absolute favourite dishes and dishes I totally recommend are: Spare Ribs with Garlic & Chilis, Curry Beef Brisket, and Roasted/Peaking Duck (the sauce on the side is amazing). The fact that they even offer peaking duck alone is a reason for you to check this place out.Some dishes I was not a fan of were: Fried Rice with Black Truffle & Minced Beef, BBQ Pork (it was dry) Sweet and Sour Pork, and the Crispy Prawn Balls. I specifically would not recommend the Sweet and Sour Pork and the Crispy Prawn Balls as they were rather expensive and not anything special. Sure they were nicely plated, but it had an extremely poor protein to fried dough ratio lol.Overall though, this is a good place to bring a group friends and family for a large and tasty Chinese meal, especially when seated at the lazy susan tables! With careful consideration of your desired menu items, you are bound to leave with full and happy yummy!

It’s a little bit pricer than other Chinese food restaurant, but not by much. So definitely worth it. I would recommend to my friends and family.

The food is good and very flavourful. We ordered the Christmas special meal.I gave the cafe an okay score because the holiday Christmas meal was tasty and each dish had an unique flavor.To start the meal was fish maw soup. The soup was good. Next dish is roasted duck was good with crispy skin and sauce to dip.Roast pork belly was good with crispy skin and beautifully presented compare to Chinatown BBQ house where they cut the roast pork haphazardly. Though some pieces were burnt and give that bitter taste.The lobster with fresh noodles. It was good and the cream sauce is not goopy. The noodles was fresh and has a good bite to it. Deep fried pork was good. The batter was crispy and fresh. Fish fins was not bad. Basically you just suck on the skin and collagen.Next dish was deep fried wantons. The wantons was crispy and that wedge of orange help brightens and cuts the grease from the wantons.The last dish is sui choi (cabbage) that looks like soup (?). The broth was good with the soft cabbage. It is not greasy.This meal does not come with noodles nor rice. Most of the dishes would go well with a bowl of white rice.Dessert is mango pudding. As I have been to 852 Hong Kong Cafe numerous times, the pudding is good.However I cannot give it any higher score as the portion in the dish was really small for $250 (Christmas meal had 6 dishes but we ordered 2 more dishes). You are better off buying the set menu for x amount of people like 6 or 8 wo choi (6 or 8 people set menu). Set menus comes with rice. After the meal, I still feel hungry after the meal.The score reflects on the Christmas meal. If it was the set menu or other dishes on the menu then I would give the restaurant a higher score and increase it by 1 star.

Nice clean restaurant with excellent service. Staff are super friendly and can speak Chinese and English fluently - ordering should not be an issue.Food itself is well presented and portions are quite large; menu is extensive.Personally I felt the food was good but needed some additional flavour, perhaps some msg. The congee, although had lots of thousand year old egg and lean pork with great consistency, was a bit on the bland side for us. The stay beef fried noodles were good too, however, again a bit on the bland side. The rice crepe dish was done perfect and generous portioned.Great social distancing measures in place.
