Night Owl Cafe - Richmond, British Columbia

I agree 100% with many of the customers that have written reviews about night owl cafe. The food and beverages are good/decent (6.5-7 out of 10), but service is slow slow slow. On busy days expect to wait up to 30 minutes or more for your meal to ... be served, be it a baked or non-baked option. Besides having your food brought to your table there isn’t much else provided in terms of service as this is a small family restaurant with 2 staff working front of house in order to keep costs manageable. Nowadays with high inflation and tip fatigue eating out is difficult to justify especially for a restaurant that doesn’t provide any service other than preparing the food you are paying high prices for.

I ordered takeout here and was very excited for it since the ratings seemed pretty decent on google maps and it was best rated on ubereats. I ordered the baked porkchop with tomatoe sauce, baked sausage with minced beef sauce, and the baked seafood and cheese with cream sauce. The ... packaging and visual of the food was very nicely done and portions seemed like a good amount. However, the good points ended there. They had fish filet in the baked seafood dish, and the fish filet was chewy and fully raw! I had to microwave it for the fish to be cooked and taste normal. The minced beef also seemed raw and had an extremely strange texture when chewed. It was hard to visually tell the rawness on both items because of the respective sauces, and I only found out after I ate a few pieces. Such a simple, basic task to cook their protein and they failed at it. I will never order from here again, which is sad because I was looking forward to try this restaurant. Read more

Asian breakfast of champions. They have a grilled cheese and apple sandwich that is quite unique and tasty as it's both sweet and salty. Their club house sandwich was also pretty good. Many layers in the sandwich. Heavily buttered toast. Last, the red bean ice cream drink was rich and ... nutty from the beans. Yum. For take out, it was packaged well but not cheap. Read more

Honestly, 5 stars just for being open for HK breakfast. Why is it so difficult to find places open for a simple breakfast in Richmond that aren't either a)big American chain restaurants or b)some sort of millennial/gen-z crowded "it" spot. (Lido, I'm sideeying you hard.) This place did it. We had ... to wait just a little while for a table. It is a very tiny place. And it was worth it. Nice selection of the menu. Hit the spot so well. And the condensed milk toast 🤤 Excellent service too. Read more

Quick and easy place. Food is decently priced (you can get breakfast and lunch easily under $10 with variety!). I love the baked pork-chop on rice curry style!!! It’s easy to come here in the mornings and for lunch.
