On the Grid : Tak Yu Cha Chaan Teng

"Hong Kong is well known for its "cha chaan teng" style cafes that serve quick meals and "tea time" snacks. The new-school, creative face of Wanchai mixes with the old in the form of this lovely, but very no frills neighbourhood cha chaan teng. Over lunch hour diners fill the street on plastic tables enjoying classic local comfort food and above average milk tea. While Tak Yu is more expensive than most other cha chaan tengs, it is one of the few restaurants on Hong Kong Island that still has a food stall license. Weekday lunch hour (1–2PM for most office workers) gets pretty busy, so aim for off-peak hour visit, especially in hot weather." - Isabel Foo

It's old school Hong Kong style diner. Had the French toast and HK style coffee. It's a fusion of the local adaptation of French rendition and milk coffee. Whereas other cha chasm teng shout and raise their voice at foreign guests, here the servers are patient and willing to explain in their limited English of the menu. Recommend to visit & have a taste of the local food.

Very crowded eatery cause it's legendary. Only know this place because of visiting Pici (Italian food), so only tried their milk tea. Did takeout. Definitely will comeback and tried their food. Though crowded but the service is very fast and kind. Their milk tea is definite HK original taste. Very good.

Good lunch at Tak yuk. We ordered the beef satay sandwich on toast, the beef noodles, beef curry on rice and a French toast. Everything came out fairly quickly, and tasted very good. Kind and helpful service, quick and clean as well. Would recommend it if you're in the area!

typical CCT. love the alfresco tables. if u’re price-sensitive + wanna have instant noodles etc. don’t go there 1101-1429, coz between lunch & tea hours, u’ll need to order it as a la carte (no set with drinks).

Didn't plan to go here initially, but it turns out that it's just a stone throw away from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, so I came after attending morning Mass. Since it was breakfast time, the suggested menu, which is the 'home-style' fried rice, is not available yet. I ordered the spam & egg macaroni & a hot milk tea. The tea was great, thick & hot. Macaroni was great, too. The spam slice was huge. It's better with chilli, though. Then I decided that I needed condensed milk toast & and boy, was that the right decision! Bread was toasted nice & crispy, butter slices were thick & a glop of condensed milk on top! Finger-licking-good! They have an English menu & and the special of the day is scribbled on the wall in Chinese. The restaurant is air conditioned, and the location is great. The surroundings look quite hip but not very crowded.

If you want a HK style milk tea in the Admiralty/ Wan Chai area, this is the place. You can walk here from the PP3 exit of Admiralty MTR station. We ordered: 1) Mix of Coffee and Tea. Their tea was really smooth and they still used the old method - stocking. 2) Corned Beef and Egg Sandwiches. They suggested to toast the bread and the amount of egg was generous. 3) French Toast It was crispy with a great amount of peanut butter filling! We loved PB! 4) Fermented Tofu Chicken Wings noodle soup. Chicken wings were quite flavourful but not salty. Soup was a bit plain but it was not bad to match with the flavourful wings. The green was a pleasant surprise. We arrived close to the end of the lunch rush hour, so it was not difficult to find a table. However, daily specials on the lunch menu were sold out.

Hair in our food, some curly, some short. Was told it was from the cow and they apologised… regardless, my partner lost her appetite, as I was extremely hungry I finished the meal around it. I got really sick after. Be warned, cheap eat or not, this is not okay.

Excellent lava French toast with a generous amount of smooth peanut butter.
