This place is amazing! The staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and there’s no pressure to tip. The portion sizes are generous and definitely worth the money. We tried the fried pork chop and eggplant with garlic sauce — both were delicious. There’s still so much more on the menu I want to try! Their desserts and milk tea are also incredibly tasty. Highly recommend!

We wanted to come here for a while because of the many positive reviews online. The experience was fine overall, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The Hong Kong–style Coffee was decent and probably the highlight of the meal. We ordered Katsudon (pork cutlet with curry sauce) and Pepper Chop (black pepper pork). The main issue was that both dishes felt very similar. The fried pork cutlet seemed to be the same base for different menu items, with the main difference being the sauce on top. Once you’ve tried one, the others don’t feel very different. The cutlet itself was okay but not es

AMAZING! Pretty legit HK cafe! Flavors and all are spot on, very rare these days. The beef noodle soup is insane, very strong tomato flavor. Prices are a bit expensive for this cuisine but, inflation I guess. Def worth tho. The restaurant itself is always very cozy HK style. Not the cleanest but it’s got the vibes. Can’t go wrong here for CHA CHAAN TENG foods. Yum!

So glad to have been recommended Marathon Cafe! I’m a huge fan of HK style cha chaan tang. This spot isn’t too far from me, which makes it even better! Not to mention, service is super friendly and food is simple, yet delish, exactly why I love HK-style grub! Their HK milk tea, sandwiches, cheung fun and fish balls, plus soupy entrees are all amazing. Gotta mention how LOADED their sandwiches are and how unique some items are on their menu - like the bolo bau burger, which I havent tried but will some day!
