Sun Yee Cafe Restaurant - Vancouver, British Columbia

First time having Chinese food in Canada. It’s a small establishment. I was brought a hot cup of tea while I looked over the menu items. It tasted like barley and was very enjoyable. Quite a mixed variety of items not typical to Chinese food restaurants that I’m use to ... in the US. A lot of items given the choice to be served with pasta or rice was new and interesting. I ordered boiled pork dumplings as appetizer and pork belly with cabbage stir fry for dinner. The pork belly stir fry came with soup and steamed rice. I really enjoyed the dumplings. Typically I like to enjoy dumplings with soy sauce w/ chili. But these did not need. They were quite flavorful. The pork belly stir fry I feel like it needed a dish with lighter flavor to go with it. The dish was good but for me, I got bored of the flavor after about 5 bites into. I drank the hot tea helped to clear my palate to continue enjoying. The soup that came with the pork stir fry was amazing. I would like to try their other menu items and would recommend this place. FYI, if you are a US citizen, your debit card will most likely not work for payment. Make sure to have CAD on hand. Read more

I'm always glad to have a Hong Kong cafe in the neighborhood. No complaints. The curry beef brisket had that deep beefy spice flavour. The fried rice vermicelli was dry and had good ingredients! Milk tea of course is a must!

It's been awhile since a review was written so to celebrate I decided to visit Sun Yee Cafe on Hastings St in Vancouver. This restaurant is a Hong Kong style cafe 'cha chang teng'. As of writing the restaurant is offering 30% off indoor dining between 3-5pm, which is usually the ... slower time between lunch and dinner. Upon stepping in I was greeted by whom I can guess to be the boss lady 'lo ban lurng'. She was friendly and directed me to a traditional HK style booth seat. Great! Hot tea and menus were brought and I ordered the baked spaghetti with shredded chicken in cream sauce. With it came a complimentary hot drink, so I ordered a hot HK style milk tea. Milk tea was hot, but was light on flavour. While I waited for my food the boss lady asked if I wanted a complimentary soup - cream soup or borscht. Wonderful! Soup was hot, tasted great. Not salty. Had perfectly cooked mushy vegetables! The restaurant's indoor dining isn't too busy, but pickups and takeout orders were busy. Food came and the boss lady advised me the plate was piping hot and to not touch it. I dug in and the food is tasty! The noodles were al dente..nice chunks of succulent chicken, melted cheese and most importantly delicious thin sliced mushrooms. I will return in a heart beat. The staff carried an upbeat enthusiastic and friendly customer service mindset. One of the best HK style cafés 'cha chan tengs' I've been to - way better than ones in Richmond I'd wager! Read more

I have ordered from here a couple of times. Mainly because of their BOGO through Uber Eats. Not alot of meat on their dishes but it's still 2 dishes for $15. Can't find that anywhere. It's not the best but not the worst. It's ... good for the price you pay. Also if you spend $50 (before discount/taxes) you get a $5 coupon (again through Uber) to spend within 90 days. Incidentally I've gotten a coupon with a $30 order before, so not sure if it's a "computer error". Read more
