Although Macau Cafe is a chain, I wanted to write about it because there aren't many in the area. The one in Richmond closed a while back. I used to go there fairly regularly.
Macau Cafe serves up Chinese/Cantonese standards like beef chow fun, Hong Kong style noodles and more.
Shown in the picture are four of the many dishes we had this afternoon for lunch. Salt and pepper pork ribs, rock cod fillet with fresh vegetables (carrots and cauliflower in this case), crispy chicken, and eggplant with green onion and ginger. The eggplant dish is pretty innovative - it's meant to simulate the texture and flavors of ginger and green onion chicken. While some of the fried meat was a little more dry than we prefer, perhaps you might call it extra crispy, most of the sauteed dishes are done well for a reasonable price - typically between $7 and $10.
We also brought a fish and they cooked it for us for about $7. This is a great price for steaming the fish in the way that they do with ginger and green onions.
While not the place for a gourmet meal, Macau Cafe is a good stop for a quick meal. The tile floor and postings of special dishes on the walls may not add to ambiance, but the value and service are good considering the price. Portions are also medium-sized and reasonable.
