Red Tea House

I come here with my brother a lot. The food isn’t bad for the price you pay. I am talking about $ 7 for their daily special with soup and drink.

If you know typical Hong Kong style cafes, you’ll know what to expect from Red Tea House. A bit of a hole-​in-​the-​wall feel, super local, fast service, good food quantity, and cheapo prices. What they do well, they do really well. The item that I get, and crave, is their pork chop noodle breakfast special that comes with a drink. I usually get the HK-​style milk tea. The hubs usually gets his satay beef noodle soup and a second order of fried noodles.
They serve a plethora of other typical Hong Kong breakfast foods like pineapple buns with butter, combos that are variations of eggs, luncheon meat, ham, breakfast macaroni in soup, etc. They also serve a lot of Cantonese rice, noodle and entrée dishes, which I’ve found to be OK.
I stick to what I love about this place and have pretty much always come out happy.
It’s located in a strip plaza on Kennedy — pretty easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Free parking.

Been here a few times with my family. I’m not about to give the place 1 star based on one dish lol. I do realize you get what you pay for, but the food is far from terrible. I certainly do not like the curry here because the taste is bland and not very authentic even for Chinese curry. I can say their «mah po tofu» is very well made, as is the braised beef brisket. The food/​taste is definitely not top class, but definitely worthy of more than 1 star! :)

I ordered the hk style curry chicken and was very disappointed. It was very bland and the chicken was not fresh. Had a odd taste to it that was not very appetizing. Portions were decent and price was very cheap. You get what you pay for I guess. I’ve lived in the area for a decade and only tried it recently. What a disappointment. How did they stay open for so long?
