Pine House Cafe

Amazing good, great price, friendly staff! I would highly recommend this to anyone who’s looking for authentic Hong Kong cafe style food! Can’t wait to come back and try their lunch and dinner menu.

Enjoyed our lunch here, ordered with Satay Beef with Vermicelli and preserved vegetables and shredded pork with Vermicelli, plus smooth scrambled eggs and ham sandwich. This all-day breakfast came with tea or coffee.The price and food portion is acceptable, but it could be improving. Due to inflation, the overall menu prices have been raised, and they still have a lot of customers. I guess there is something else that makes customers feel like to be here. But this is not my best nearby restaurant.

Price is very reasonable for the amount of food that you get. Very typical Hong Kong style.

Their French toast is a must try!! It was crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Their Satay beef noodle was good too. Would come back here for afternoon tea.

Unlike its sister shop at North York, the setting of which has more room for the customers. We are comfortable to be seated and feel free to chat without any disturbances even at its busy hours. As we observe, the staff are also more customer-oriented. they will actively greet and respond to their requests quickly. Meanwhile, we order a dish of Hainanese Chicken Rice, a set of Full Day Meal B,and a of plate of French Toast Bites. They are all delicious with attractive appearance and filled up all of our stomach. Besides,it is worth to comment that its tea, coffee and Borscht soup are very good. Overall speaking, we are highly satisfied at its food, its prices and its service.

Looks like it is a popular place on a Sunday noon time. Menu have many selections to choose from. Food were served hot and the portion is generous. I did have a not so clean fork given to me and the service was lagging because it was very busy at the time.

I came here for Sunday brunch with my family. The cafe was cleaned and organized. It wasn’t crowded when we arrived around 1:30pm. There were plenty of tables available. They did a good job keeping social distance between tables. Their menu offered a great selection of Hong Kong style all day combo and set lunch. The food was tasty and fresh. The portion was reasonable and the price was affordable. Will come back more often!It was so nice to enjoy Hong Kong style food at this cafe on Canada Day holiday. The cafe was quite busy during lunch time but we were lucky to get a table without waiting too long. The food quality was consistent. The service was efficient and everything came quickly. This is a good place to go for a quick meal.

Been coming here since they open. Typical HK Style Cafe food with decent tea. Can get very busy at breakfast time. Quality does fluctuate but still one of my go-to places when I crave HK comfort food.

This restaurant is a typlical HK style 西餐廳/茶餐廳. To be fair, the food itself was kinda ok. We ordered 2 afternoon tea sets: fried fish and fries + hot milk tea, and french toast with peanut butter + iced milk tea/coffee. We approved the taste, but after this meal I had mild diarrhea for 2 days. My mom was fine though. So I guess it depends on what you ordered.However, there's 2 reasons why I'll never come back here again:1. The servers were EXTREMELY LOUD. By loud I mean literally screaming right next to our ears, screaming across the whole floor, and screaming from inside the kitchen. I'm very used to servers chatting in the restaurants. For some reasons, it's very common in HK restaurants. I don't like it but as long as they're in moderation and not too loud to interrupt our conversation, I can live with that. But when we're at Pine House Cafe, the servers were talking loud the whole time. A full hour of non-stop talking, yelling, screaming and laughing. Also they like to slam cabinet doors. My ears literally hurt after each slam. The noise was horrible. I could barely chat with my mom. We both agreed it was the worst we've ever encountered, not only in North America, but also including our years in HK.2. There's some sort of questionable smell in the restaurant. I'd describe it as a mixed of old urine and fermented food. However, when I used their restroom I didn't smell anything bad. Why the seating area has urine smell but restroom has not. It's a million dollar question.For me a 40+ yr old person who were born and raised in HK, lived in Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po many years growing up, I'm very used to all kinds of low-end eateries, cafes and restaurants. That being said, this restaurant still managed to surprise me even with my already low standard.So, if you ever wanna try Pine House Cafe, please order take out.
