Cafe Tea Era 茶座

Restaurant Cafe Bubble tea store

😠 terrible food, we order 3 breakfasts, and the eggs have black oil on it. the chef said because it cooked on the grill, that's why it looks like this. we asked to exchange it, and they said next time. (no next time) Also, the chair and thectable are very uncomfortable. People often mention good, sauce, time, rice, chicken, crispy, drinks, Chicken, Rice,

    first time coming to “cafe tea era” and everything was delicious. We got the beef brisket with rice in curry sauce & the chicken chop and pork chop cutlet with black pepper sauce spaghetti & for dessert, the mini French toast. My favourite part was definitely the BIG meat portions. It was wonderfully cooked and seasoned as well. As for the mini French toast, it is covered in peanut butter and evaporated milk. It was the perfect sweetness, and I love the way they cut it into pieces before deep frying it. All the sides were so crispy which is different from many other restaurants that just cook the bread as a whole. Will be sure to come back soon to try their other items!! They also have bubble teas at the front if you just want to come in for a drink :)

    It was my first time here and the last time I guess. My friend brought me here and they said they’ve tried their food few times alrdy, they think their food was good. But after this experience, we will never come back, thanks to the server!! I gave 2 stars only because the Fried Pork Chop and no extra charge for cold drinks. We ordered Chicken Steak rice, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Fried Pork Chop Rice, Thai Fried Rice, Ham & Egg Sandwich. The Chicken Steak is a bit overcooked, the meat is not tender and juicy, it’s dried. Hainanese Chicken’s chicken is just so so, rice is ok. The Pork Cutlet is really good, crispy and not oily, and size is big too!! Thai Fried Rice is a bit moist, not dry enough. It tastes like Sweet Chili Thai sauce fried rice. Ham and Egg Sandwich is decent. Good thing is their cold drinks is same price as hot drinks and it’s not small cups. But I guess the price is covered by the meal alrdy. The worst part of the whole experience was we couldn’t finish all our food, so we asked the server to give us boxes to take the leftover home, but the girl told us, first box is free for each table, second box needs to be charged, we were all shocked, since they are not a self-serve low cost restaurant, their price is more on above average side. Also, the first box they gave us was those paper square box that can only fit the half sandwich and there was still half plate of fried rice left!! We were not being unreasonable for asking extra box. Our bill was around $82 after tax and you were charging us for a few cent for box??!!! We should have just take the whole plate of leftover food home and returned the plate after it. We wanted to take the leftover home is just because we don’t want to waste the food, don’t want to waste the chef’s effort to cook the meal, it’s a respect to chef to bring our leftover home as well!!! My friend was so mad and didn’t bother to take anything home at the end… Atmosphere is only so so, the seating is a bit squishy, should have make a few booths if they are charging averagely $15+

    Got the short ribs with garlic sauce. Really good, meat was cooked perfectly and the garlic sauce was very flavourful. Spicy chicken and rice was tasty with good spice level. Milk tea was yummy, had good aftertaste and not watery. Came in those ✨thick kamcha cups✨ Caramel coffee was good and didn't taste artificial like other caramel drinks. Good ratio as you can still taste the coffee. The waitress was super sweet and funny too.🥺🥺🥺

    Really enjoyed the chicken steak in onion sauce with rice! The portions were huge and the sauce was really good, chicken was crispy as well! The baked bolognese was good too. I think they can improve on the drinks, lemon tea could be stronger and same with the hk milk tea. The layout of the place is also a bit odd, the seating wasnt the most comfortable as well. But overall food was pretty good and i would come back.

    When Asian parents approve of the food at this NEW HK cafe, you know they got some good stuff going on! I visited 3x in the past couple of months, and honestly, I really enjoyed the food and service here! Food comes out hot and fast AF ^^ Service is friendly and attentive. The portions are truly ginormoussss! There are more seatings on the 2nd floor, great for large groups; we pretty much got the whole room to ourselves the last time I visited! I would recommend the following: 必食滑蛋叉燒飯 Scrambled Eggs and BBQ Pork on Rice - Absolutely a must order! 粒粒西多士 Mini French Toast - Drizzled with peanut butter and condense milk, must eat while it is hot! 菜遠牛腩炒米 Fried Vermicelli with Braised Beef Brisket & Veg - That crispy fried vermicelli layer is absolutely gold 焗葡國雞飯 (星期一至五午餐) Baked Portuguese Chicken with Rice - Available only Monday-Friday on Lunch Menu - This is definitely my favourite go-to ** Takeout boxes are $0.50 each, so remember to bring your own tubberware. They take all credit cards, and cash only for tips!

    Pretty good. Chicken steak was really crispy. Loved that they put the sauce under the chicken as to keep the skin crispy. Hong Kong style tea was balanced with a bit of white sugar.

    Stumbled upon this HK café while googling for a new restaurant to explore. Service was amazing - really set them apart from the other cafés. The food was decent and reasonably priced. I ordered the Striploin steak with omurice in black pepper sauce, but they could not make omurice at that time, so I opted for Sunnyside up. I was not given the option of how I like my steak done... and the striploin felt really tenderized. I'm not a fan of their drinks... milk tea tasted a bit too strong - slightly on the bitter side, and the instant coffee was meh. The place is smaller than the average HK café... expect a lot of noise when it's full house. I'm not sure if they have tables on the 2nd floor, when I went the stairs were closed off.
