Great decor and comfortable seating. I was impressed especially since it's a quick, fast food style restaurant with inexpensive food items. The foods range from western breakfast items to noodles and congee. The chinese donuts were perfectly fluffy and crispy. I would definitely come again for a quick meal on a dime.
It seems like Hong Kong style restaurants are getting harder to find even in Richmond as they are being replaced with mainland Chinese style restaurants. At least that's what it seems like in Richmond. Copa has a few restaurants around the lower mainland. . This branch is located with the new T&T supermarket along River road, just across from the Oval. There is underground parking but can be awkward driving up and down the lot. You really have to use the mirrors set on the walls or you can collide with oncoming traffic navigating the lot.
For me the whole reason to be here is to continue my quest for the best Baked Pork Chop on Rice in the city. I heard some good reviews on their version ($12.95) here so I was very eager to try. The portion was huge, and pork chop itself was beautifully done – the crust was thin, thickness was prefect, and the meat was moist and tender. However the tomato sauce was slightly underwhelming, due to the quality of the tomato and the ratio of the cheese and starch. And maybe a touch of spices or herbs would help elevate the sauce too. Unfortunately it is not the best Baked Pork Chop yet.
Been here a few times and the quality is better than other HK cafes, albeit smaller portions. But I rather trade quality to quantity. I tried the Copa on Cambie and that one is not very good. The Richmond location much better in food. Hopefully this quality holds up long term or else it will just be another HK cafes.
Excellent Chinese style Western comfort food, the sizzling hot plate combos are always my go to favorites! Friendly staff and efficient service, food came out fresh and hot within 15 minutes. Very comfortable seating in a spacious restaurant.
Nice interior. It was really busy when we went on a stat-holiday. It felt a bit understaffed. Overall the food and selection is what you would expect from a hk style cafe.
We love their baked dishes! These are mini-sets that come with a drink. And I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb fried rice stone pot!
My favorite place in Richmond for HK cafe food.
There are so many options! Great for when your whole family and or friend group is craving something different.
Although it's my fav, it's not the best (reason for 4 stars). Like the recooked frozen veggies for the hotplate/customizable plates are terrible. Comparing it to many other HK cafe places, the quality and quantity for what you pay is good (others are pricey).
I normally get the customizable plates (ribeye steak, fried filet, Fries or spaghetti, ice lemon tea). My family would get the stir fried noodles or Chinese set dinners to share.
Service, not bad. They do get super busy often so I highly recommend making a reservation. Food gets served relatively quick once the order is in.
Parking lot is a bit annoying, but it's free!
