This is more a 2.5 review, but I am bumping it because I'm hoping that the place will eventually get better. Been here both for dinner and lunch, and both times, I have been impressed with the food and underwhelmed with the service. Food is tasty, standard Cantonese fare, and probably a step above what you would get at the nearby Joy K's. However, they seem to have some issues with figuring out how to serve food in a timely fashion..the last lunch I had there, my family waited more than 1 hour for the food to come out. In addition, the wait staff did not apologize and seemed more frustrated with us when we would ask when the food was coming out. My dad figured out that it seems to be due to some bizarro way of serving, in which they serve all the dishes that one table orders before moving on to the next table. While that theoretically could work, when most of the tables are ordering like 7 or 8 dishes, it means that there is a considerable period of time when no one is getting any dishes at all. While I want to like this place more, I really can't recommend it that highly, which is a shame since the food is so tasty. Sigh.
I totally agree with Jack N. that this place is not a cafe. It is definitely more like a restaurant to me.
I stepped into Bay Parkway Cafe for dinner one night and was totally overwhelmed by the great selections on the menu.
Amongst the 5 of us, we ordered the following and shared as family style:
——-Snail w/ Black Bean Sauce
——-House Crispy Chicken (Whole)
——-Steamed Live Fish
——-Squash w/ dried shrimp
——-Sauteed Assorted Seafood
——-Sauteed Squid w/ Pickled Vegetables
Every dish was very flavorful. The staff was extra friendly towards their customers. The restaurant is very clean. Bay Parkway definitely NEEDS MORE restaurants like this around the neighborhood.
there were 10 of us for dinner, to celebrate an early mothers day so we dont have a rush on the day of. we ordered 11 dishes with a soup dish. we weren't disappointed! prices were fair, even to my parents and we had more or less the following dishes: clams, mayo shrimp, calamari, ,tung choy, garlic chicken, lobster, fish fillet, beef and veggie dish, eggplant chicken. everything was better than average and some were pretty darn good. i would probably prefer to come back here than to the other chinese restaurant a block away that we usually frequent. the bill was under 300 for everything!
My family and I frequent this Chinese restaurant since we live close by and I have to say I prefer it to the only other one that's nearby. Love their chow mei fun! 🙂
Don't let the name fool you, this is not really a cafe. They are a Cantonese style restaurant. I mainly come here for dinner. The food here is delicious and most importantly, always made fresh. The service here is great, there's an older gentleman, he's always our waiter, and he's just a doll! Sometimes, they don't look too busy, but don't be fooled, they do plenty plenty of delivery and take out. They also have the value meal for take out, where you get 4 dishes for about $30, so worth the money, but they don't offer that menu on holidays and not sure about weekends. On the nights where we don't feel like cooking, we always end up eating here. Come and try it out.
A family style restaurant that my family and I LOVE coming for delicious and authentic Chinese food. Trust me, it never disappoints! They serve delectable soup and offer a variety of options. All the dishes we ordered exceeded expectations. Came recently for my Mom's birthday and the workers all sang Happy Birthday to her while bringing out the Chinese Birthday Buns. They even offered us candles for the buns if needed.
Overall, great service, great food and great experience. Definitely a spot that my family and I will be returning to for any occasion!
My family loves coming here for dinner and lunches because it's really close to my grandmas house. I've been here three times, twice for Chinese New Year and once for my grandmas birthday.
This restaurant is definitely a solid option for those in the area looking for a Chinese dinner. It's a small space and doesn't seem to ever get crowded – but the food they serve is quite up to standard with bigger restaurants in the area. I like the various ways they cook their flounder and lobster. The management staff speaks some English so that's another plus!
So why only 3 stars? What Chinese restaurant is complete without dim sum! They do not serve dim sum here. 🙁
