“ Priced reasonably. Good value. It seems to be a popular Hong Kong style cafe in the neighborhood. I forgot to take pictures of the Portuguese style pork on rice until we finished half of it. ”
“ Good Hong Kong-Style cafe combos at a reasonable price. Good portion size and clean renovated decor. Quiet space for small groups and couples. My only wish is for it to be a bigger restaurant! Largest table will sit about 8 people. ”
“ Small restaurant. Seats about 30 people. Hard to see this restaurant from the outside. Ordered noodles in soup and baked rice and a cold lemon drink, hot milk tea was free. Totals to 32, very cheap. Portions are big, we were full for dinner. Taste is on point with good flavor, and soft meat. People who rated low probably ordered the wrong things. The baked rice is comparable to happy day cafe and the noodles are similar to deer garden while being cheaper. ”
“ BT Cafe is one of the best old-school Hong Kong style cafe restaurants on Kingsway. They have been here forever. You will not believe the size of their dishes when you look at the bill. Pre-pandemic prices, yet always big portions. Food is typical Cantonese tastes from decades past and nothing fancy. Fast, inexpensive and always reliable. Best meals on a budget in Vancouver! And the staff are always friendly, too! ”
“ If you're craving authentic Hong Kong-style comfort food in Vancouver, BT Cafe (大拇指餐廳) on Kingsway is a must-visit. This cozy, unassuming eatery delivers generous portions, nostalgic flavors, and unbeatable value that keep locals coming back for more. The ambiance is simple, but the staff are super friendly and the food is consistently on point and very affordable. It is one of the best HK style cafes left in Vancouver. ”
“ Best Hong Kong Cafe/Cha Chaan Teng in Vancouver hands down. I've been coming to BT for over 14 years since they opened and replaced Sun Fat Cafe (which was also a fantastic HK mom and pop cafe) in 2008. Since day 1, their consistency with the quality of food and service has never dipped down. Their prices are extremely fair, as are their portions. The place is also incredibly sanitary, which is a bonus as normally HK cafes aren't usually known for this. Some must tries here are their baked spaghetti with meat sauce, satay pork Toro with hor fun, or their mix and match steak set. Get the borscht if its the daily soup, it's the best in town. ”
“ One of the best HK cafes in Vancouver, quality control is always great. Probably my favourite baked pork chop rice in town. Can get busy sometimes so expect a wait during peak hours. Cash only ”
“ My go-to Hong Kong style cafe in the Vancouver area. Parking is a bit of a challenge in that area. It is very busy but there is a fast table turnaround. Usually a 15 minute wait when it is busy. Big menu from Western-hong Kong style dishes to Chinese/south East Asian food. Prices are super reasonable and most orders came with a hot drink. Their staff is very efficient and friendly. Food is always good here. ”
