Van. Tea Cafe

Visited twice.

The first time was a really busy and crowded evening so I felt the tables might be too close together and the service seemed to suffer for it. Food that night was not as good as the Vancouver location but was alright. I heard the head cook moved to this location but maybe not by that night

This time was a less crowded breakfast so it was better. Food seemed better but then breakfast and dinner are different meals. Ordering 2 item combos is a good deal ($14) vs just 1 @ $10. Love that egg custard in their deep fried French toast. Congee was good too as seems no MSG.

Plenty of parking in their shared parking lot both times. Capstan Way street parking if the lot is full.

This is a fine location for breakfast if you are dropping someone off to the airport.

I'll visit again if in Richmond for the day and maybe I'll give more stars in the future after those visits

I finally get to eat the ribs at restaurant, they are crispy outside tender inside. The meat quality is 👍👍. All dishes are hot and tasty. I like the ambience of the restaurant, clean, bright and comfy. Will come back to try there Malaysian flavours.

Best place so far in Richmond for some Hong Kong style cafe food!! Chinese people love to come to places that can serve food that has "Wok Hei" meaning when they stir fry, the heat is high enough so you can taste it! And don't get me wrong I don't mean its burned or over cook! It's just right!
If your in the area please give it a try they have 2 location, I went to the one in Richmond which opened not to long ago, enjoy everyone!

10 % off until today (grand opening special). We went yesterday and waited for maybe 15 minutes- they seem to have more 2-people tables available; there were 4 of us. Reservations can only be made for 6+. The service was good and the food came at a reasonable time. My bbq duck noodle soup was so-so: the rice noodles were over-cooked, but eatable, and the duck was tasty, but not too meaty. The tomato beef rice was good. I didn’t get photos of the other dishes at our table. I ordered a half Hainanese chicken to take out and it was moist, firm and delicious - I’d definitely recommend this chicken.

So happy! 😃 Van Tea Cafe Richmond finally opened on Oct 19, Van Tea Cafe is a HK style cafe located on the corner of 41st and Main. My family always has trouble deciding where to eat , my friend had recently recommended Van Tea Cafe so that's what I suggested, and our whole family are now their loyal guests in general they have so many delicious dishes to recommend! First of all, I personally highly recommend Drunken Chicken Pot, Singapore Laksa Rice Noodles, Steamed Rice with Northern Mushroom Slider Chicken and Chipotle Chicken Ball Pot! Also worth mentioning is their breakfast, Both breakfast with French Toast were quite good. I like their crispy sided sunny sides up and the smooth omelette. The French Toast totally satisfied our cravings. It was crispy egg battered outside with egg custard jam inside. You could add the butter and syrup on top of your French Toast. The Satay Beef on macaroni was very flavorful with the satay sauce. 👍

Food was delicious and one of the best laksa in Vancouver! Reasonably priced and huge servings. The place is very clean inside
Amazing staff, very kind polite and patient. Vancouver is an Asian food hub and Van Tea Cafe is the best Hong Kong styled restaurant. Very authentic, would 100% recommend.
