We noticed Soho Tea Room when strolling down the Cambie St /16th ave neighbourhood in Vancouver. We decided to drop in a couple of days later to check it out seeing that their menu prices looked very reasonable. Soho mainly serves Hong Kong style food which is getting more hard to find these days. Inside of Soho looked quite modern with many tables.
Decent food. I like the salt and pepper chicken that people talk a lot about. The soup noodles I got as part of the meal were bland. To be air the menu did not deceive them as having including anything that would give them a strong flavour. I have been here a few times and the other dishes I have had have been satisfying. I really enjoy their coconut taro bubble tea.
Meal: Pan fried fish filet baked in cream and corn sauce on a bed of spaghetti and club sandwich with fries. Both with hot milk tea/coffee. Service: Better than Congee Noodle House, refilled water several times. . Atmosphere: Busy, can be loud. . Bottom line: We've walked by here before but never had the appetite to actually have a meal. For debit, they require a $10 minimum which is fine if you order a meal or two drinks.
I've been here many times (at least 20 times)and they serve up good HK style Chinese food in this immediate area. Parking is limited to one or two stalls at the back but free street parking is available about 1 block east of Cambie street.
The place is usually not overwhelmingly busy and you'll usually find a seat quickly. The restaurant is trying to mimic a hip/trendy style of HK style food with chalk drawings and menu on blackboards and menu that carry many dessert items. They also do a lot of beverages, from bubble tea to regular HK style beverages. Ex. Milk tea. Food ranging from set meals to many of the noodle soups are available and they are quite good. I have yet to discover something about the food that is not to my liking. Also prices are descent and a dinner will set you back 15 or so which is quite reasonable. As I've visited this place multiple times, this is one of those comfort food places I like going back.
這家位於溫哥華的Soho Tea Room是一間提供多元化的港台混合茶餐廳，它另有一間姐妹店「釆 Flo Tea Room」開設在列治文市。Soho的門面平平無奇，沒有任何華麗裝飾，甚至可以用簡陋來形容也不為過，但當推門入內後却讓我完全對它改觀。餐廳內部寬敞舒適，身處其中沒有一點壓迫感，牆壁部份加鋪木條用來呼應店前門面的設計，服務櫃檯和黑板手寫的餐點推介都非常吸引目光，枱椅以至地台都十分整潔。餐牌裡的餐點十分豐富，除了一般港式茶餐廳常見的沙律、三文治、粉麵、焗飯外還有多款中式和西式套餐。最特別的還有火鍋餐、鐵板餐、台式套餐和沙冰奶茶等等，真讓人看得眼花撩亂難以取捨。
我於年多前曾光顧過店家的午市百搭鐵板雙拼套餐，除了對它的質量和味道十分滿意外，價錢亦相當親民抵食，所以印象非常深刻。後來再試店家的週末抵食港式早晨套餐就更加滿意，雖然早餐的選擇不算多，但以牛腩湯河粉來配搭港式早餐也算創新和超值(註: 現已停辦)。今天再來光顧是這裡的港式午市套餐，發覺價錢和份量同樣抵食，簡直有點驚喜啊！
豉汁涼瓜牛肉飯 $10 (隨餐附送例湯、熱飲) ~ 這熱炒碟頭飯很有鑊氣也好味，還附送例湯及熱飲，份量雖然沒有焗飯那麼多，可算十分超值
(是日特餐) 焗葡汁四蔬飯 $12 (隨餐附送例湯、熱飲) ~ 份量超多又好味，茹素人士首選
焗葡國雞飯 $10 (隨餐附送例湯、熱飲) ~ 份量超多又好味，值得推薦
I love late night places because I'm more of a night owl than an early bird, so it only made sense to try out soho tea room one night. Well, in reality I actually only cared for the tofu dessert because it was too cute! It tasted pretty average but in addition to that my boyfriend and I ordered the lamb hotpot, the deep-fried bun with condensed milk ad the DIY noodle soup. All the food was decent, pretty standard asian/taiwanese/hong kong bbt kinda joint in my opinion.
In the photo: fried chicken & french toast with ice cream - Asian take on chicken & waffles. Soho Tea Room is my default place to go when I don’t want to spend a lot of money and when I’m going with other people, with everyone at various levels of hungriness. I think I go here almost monthly! Those who are more hungry can get a full meal, such as baked rice/pasta, noodles, fried rice, grilled meats, sandwiches, just to name a few, while those who are less hungry can go for a snack, and those who aren’t hungry at all can simply get a drink. I find that the meals can be hit or miss - the fried rice dishes are good, but some of the noodle soups fall flat. The grilled meat combos are filling and tasty, but the hot pot sets are so-so. I do find their snack and dessert menu selection to be better than their mains. I especially like the steamed tofu dessert.
Knowing that toast boxes take forever to be made, we called in advance to have it done. We came a little later than we were hoping too, so they called us just to check how much longer we would take, so their toast box would stay fresh for us. We ordered the smores one which tasted really great! Except the cantaloupe on top confused me a bit, I would expect strawberries on top of something chocolatey. It still tasted fine. The bubble tea here comes in a large variety. They're great quality too! Some drinks take 30 minutes to compose... so we stayed away from those. Other than the food, the service here seemed like it was really rushed. But there was like no one there at 3:30... so. Calm down a bit. They never asked us if we wanted to order anything else when we got there.
The toast boxes are pricier than other ones that I've had before, but they don't disappoint. I had the black forest toast box, which wasn't overly sweet. They also have pretty big servings; I ordered the vegetarian ham satay, and I had to finish the leftovers over two days (I think the dishes are meant to be shared, that might explain why there's so much, haha).
Rating is based soley on this dish "baked halibut on cream sauce rice with puff pastry." The puff pastry always come out so perfect and taste really yummy with the cream sauce. The halibut is always cooked just right, except one time I got it and it was dry. I would suggest getting less onions cause it does with a lot and could be raw-ish sometimes. It's the only dish I get whenever I come here!
