I really enjoy coming to the Hot Chai Cafe. Owners are very friendly, and I've been coming here for several years. The chai tea latte is delicious. They offer a selection of Asian and Canadian choices of food and beverages. The atmosphere is comfortable with sophisticated music played in the background. I always feel welcome when I come to their cafe. Try it!
Great little cafe with reasonable prices and good food.
Great place in a great neighborhood! Foods delicious and coffees always fresh! Was not to keen on the sushi though...
The food, atmosphere, and service were impeccable. I had the red dragon curry with prawns - great portion size and flavor. I will be back
This place is one of my favourites within their price range!
The food is simply tasty, well done, and satisfying! Portions are perfect and just what you would expect and more. I like there lunch deals, they are very felling and provide a lot of variety within Each order: includes salad + soup + spring rolls + deep fried wanton + rice or noodles + the main order.
They also have bubble tea!
The service is honestly the best! I feel like home every time I go there. Very welcoming and friendly.
My husband and I eat here often. The food and drinks are excellent. The owner is a very knowledgeable barista who just blows our minds with his use of different flavours. Highly recommend this little spot!
Good experience, friendly staff, excellent food and good covid protocols. Knowledgeable and was happy to explain different bubble teas to the kids I was with, clearly and kindly even as they were boisterous. Will go again!
Great food at an affordable price. Good for quick bites and drinks to full on meals and desserts. The owner always remembers what I get in my bubble tea which is a nice touch to the friendly vibe the establishment has. Would 100% recommend eating here for lunch and dinners or just for a lil snack.
We love eating here. The butter chicken and prawn pad Thai are awesome. Spring rolls are very good too. Also the wonton soup is delicious. We will be back many times in the future.
This place is great! The coffee is good, I have been going hear since they opened up. In the summer i can get a cold coffee or a pop and in the winter after i shovel the snow it's great to grab a warm cup. The food is actually unbelievable. Everyone in nanaimo should try this place out!!!
My wife was out of town, and my turn to cook dinner. Took the kids here for din. Great fresh cooked from scratch meals. My pickiest eater raved about the wonton soup...each wonton has a full size prawn wrapped inside as well as the pork...delicious. Apparently authentic Hong Kong style! Owner is very pleasant and courteous. Food is always fast and hot. Hidden gem!
