This Cantonese "cha canting" is a throwback to the 1950s, boasting dishes from crispy roast chicken to macaroni and spam in broth and fishball soup. The tiled floor, cafeteria ambiance and straightforward menu of skillfully recreated classic canto diner hits draws many curious expats and locals.

A casual Hong Kongese diner serving traditional Cantonese food alongside milk teas and coffee . Try the soy sauce chicken , deep-fried wings , dry-fried rice noodles with beef , & fried ramen with pork . Read more
Really really great HK / Cantonese diner style food. The HK French toast is fantastic. Everything is pretty great quality. You may be sitting with others at the table which is very HK diner style .
Great atmospheric Hong Kong style canteen. Everything on the menu looks tasty. I especially like the lemon chicken , instant noodles , and crispy beef noodles
The fatty beef with XO chilli sauce on instant noodles is amazing. The pork curry rice was delicious (very fatty tender fried pork cutlet ) n the chicken wings were juicy.
Very traditional HongKong/Cantonese style restaurant . Reasonably priced and always packed, so be ready to wait for a table. The macaroni soup with fried egg and luncheon meat is simply delicious
Cantonese fare at its best with the ambience of old Hong Kong style diner . Sweet sour pork , pork buns and milk tea are guaranteed taste-bud pleasers. Expect long waiting times or share a table.
Delicious Hong Kong cuisine. Marble beef , scrambled egg with shrimp and lemon tea (so different from European or Russian tea w lemon !) are strongly recommended
Love this place. Creamy homemade curry is great, as is the fu yung omelette , lemon chicken , shrimp toast , crispy noodles , etc, etc..... Worth the wait in line .
Famous Cantonese restaurant in Shanghai. VERY delicious food! Chicken in sweet lemon sauce is amazing, try French toast for desert and Cantonese milk tea of course!
Solid & inexpensive . Open Every day until 2AM (last orders 01:30).
Good place for brunch . I would recommend every1 to try.
No fuss classics and busy busy. Get seated with strangers in a booth so you can stare at their food and play food critic.
Try to be more gallant to expole the unknown world, especially those new dishes in Cha's.
definitely worthy! classic Cantonese food , the same as what I'd enjoyed when staying in Hong Kong
The lady waitress is extremely patient with two "yellow bananas " and our terrible Chinese. Thumbs up!
Lemon chicken , house curry , pineapple buns , and poached chicken are amazing. I love this restaurant . Small and casual . One of my favorite Chinese restaurant in town .
I like it but I don't love it? I feel like the reviews hyped it up for more than its worth. Don't get me wrong, its still great
Pricey but I had the lemon chicken , kai lan in oyster sauce and rice . tasted pretty good and made my afternoon.
Get the soy chicken . Really tender and juicy!
Please, the chicken wing . You won’t regret it.
Scrambled egg , fried glutinous rice , fried chicken wing
The best time to avoid wait line is to come after 1:30am.
Not expensive good HK food, try the eggs + shrimp !
Fried shrimp toast is a must
Seriously try the fried shrimp on toast , orange chicken shrimp and everything else. Look at everybody's orders for inspiration
Be gentle and nice to the waitresses dressed in white. Some of them finish work every night at 3am.
Fried chicken and iced milk tea !
To really feel like you are in a wong kar wai movie you should dress up like tony leung in chung king express and eat macaroni with luncheon meat.
Try the fried chicken wings and the iced milk tea !
the pineapple bun 😻
Get the Cha's milk tea ! It's awesome!
everything
Too busy everyday! Nice food though. Very Hongkong.
Try the original iced milk tea - authentic !
Dry noodles with beef
Chickennnn
Always a lot of people. YES, ALWAYS
Get the fried chicken
Decent casual Cantonese food . The stuff i got were all kind of bland. Little overrated IMHO.
好可惜鲍汁章鱼鸡粒炒饭已经没有以前那么好吃了
