I recently dined at this restaurant, and while the food was quite good, I was disappointed by the hygiene practices. The servers consistently used the same pair of blue latex gloves for serving food, cleaning tables, and even cleaning the floors. This raised concerns about their awareness of proper hygiene procedures, especially when it comes to using disposable gloves in a food premises. While the food quality was satisfactory, I hope the restaurant addresses these hygiene issues to ensure a safer dining experience in the future.

Terrible service. Especially cashier, who is supposedly the owner. Charged me 50 cents for a lid. I saw take out fee and I said that a mistake, no take out. And he points at my drink LID. This guy obviously needs every penny. This has never been charged before previously.
So I donated him 50 cents.

Food quality and portion going downhill

Service disorganized and needs to be better. The foods are good and the prices alright not to expensive.

I went to this restaurant for the first time as a single person. I spent about $50. I had left my cigarretes at home. I kindly asked the server if anybody at the restaurant is a smoker I could buy a cigarrette off of. She pointed me to the owner. He disrespectfully told me he didn't have cigarretes. I later saw a full pack of cigarettes next to him on the counter. At the end I went to pay and the same guy was at the cash register. I only have one credit card and it is a MasterCard. He told me they don't take MasterCard. I did not have any other form of payment. They guy was in such a sketchy panic. I kept telling him to be calm and trust me, I'm going to pay 100 percent. He gave me a sketchy website I could pay with MasterCard on. He was so panicky that honestly I felt it's not safe for me to put my card number on that website. He had the vibe of a person with gambling debt. I finally decided to pay with overdraft on my debit. As I was leaving I politely asked him to let customers know if they don't accept, astercard before they order. There is not a single place in all of lower mainland that doesn't take MasterCard that I've ever seen. He tells me, I should be the one to tell the server I only have a MasterCard. Very rude, seemed racist, definitely has some gambling debt, looked like a daily casino type of guy. Too cheap to give a cigarrette, too panicky about the money. Horrible vibe. Restaurant itself was nice and food was good. Owner was disgusting person. He was also very condescending as if it is somehow my fault that I didn't have Visa. Don't give your business to these kind of people.

Came here at 1230 for lunch, five tables worth of people standing around me. They immediately open up a new wing to accommodate five new group arrival on a weekday. This is a great sign of service. This place is quite clean, main hall already full. Waiter immediately put a small QR code printout to indicate each table number. My parents are senior and my dad forgot to bring his phone. We were able to get paper menu ordered w the waitress. Food was good and delivery was fast. We end up having curry and a fried pork chop over spaghetti. Portion is huge. I will come back again.
Came back second time for dinner. Food is good.

This is my third time coming back to this place.i changed my review from 4-5 because I think this place is unique and I don’t think you can find any HK style cafe can beat this place with quality, service, value and taste. If I looked at all the HK style cafes I have been to in N. America, this is one of the best hidden in Coquitlam, BC.

Yummy food and lots to choose from. I’ve been there a few times recently with my family and all dishes we tried were yummy. The quality and portions are very consistent and the drinks are on point. The prices and portions are reasonable. Will go again for sure if we’re in the area again.

Decent Hong Kong style cafe
Great tasty food and big portion
Comfortable sitting and staff are nice and accommodating
Each party were given their own QR code so easy to split the bill
If order online will get 10% off and they don’t press for tips even we have party of 15 we can tip as much (or little) as we wish
Plenty of free parking

Poor Customer service. Ordered a lemon iced tea with no sugar by an app. Turned out to be with sugar. Requested to change. Boss insisted that my input was wrong. No exchange. What a good service! Funny was that the boss recognized that we had been his customers for long. Still keeping blame us for wrong input. And the boss offered you a replacement of iced tea if he forfeited your regular 10% discount. This would cost more than the price of Iced Tea. What a service!

Fun place with most extensive menu I ever seen in a restaurant if this price range. There are options to satisfy any taste and wallet from French toast and onion soup to Thai curry and Lobster. Breakfast is a must. Service is simple, as implied in the name Cafe. But seatings are comfortable and varied; booth and tables can accommodate couples and large groups.

I recently dined at M Cafe, hoping to indulge in some authentic Hong Kong cuisine. While the restaurant's ambiance and service were satisfactory, I must admit that I was slightly disappointed by the overall experience.

The menu boasted a variety of traditional Hong Kong dishes, which piqued my interest. However, upon tasting the food, I found that the flavors were rather average and didn't quite live up to my expectations. I was hoping for a burst of authentic flavors that would transport me to the bustling streets of Hong Kong, but sadly, that wasn't the case.

Adding to the disappointment were the prices. M Cafe's menu comes with a hefty price tag that doesn't seem entirely justified by the taste of the food. I understand that quality ingredients and preparation can warrant higher prices, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was paying more for the ambiance and location rather than an exceptional culinary experience.

On a positive note, the staff at M Cafe were attentive and polite, ensuring that my dining experience was comfortable. The restaurant's interior was also pleasant, contributing to a cozy atmosphere.

In conclusion, my visit to M Cafe left me with mixed feelings. While the ambiance and service were decent, the high prices and average flavors of the food make it difficult for me to wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to others seeking an authentic taste of Hong Kong cuisine.

This is the only restaurant I’ve been to that doesn’t provide any shakers. I wouldn’t have asked for them if the food were tasty. Service was lousy. You would feel ignored. The manager was aloof and refused to apologize for their mistakes. He had a take it or leave it attitude! Thank God this is not the only restaurant in Coquitlam.

Update Aug 2023:
Beef brisket fried noodles is salty to the extreme. Informed the server and hope that this will improve in the future.

Original Post:
It’s one of the best Hong Kong style cafes in Greater Vancouver in terms of ambience and decor. However, one long time male server is really very bad in terms of attitude - No smile whatsoever. He can be a “tourist attraction” showcasing traditional HK style server behaviour. If I find any improvement, I’ll remove this post to be fair to that person.

Update Feb 2021:
There’s some improvement in that server. Food quality has been consistently good. I’m giving it 4-stars from 3-stars

Classic & authentic HK Cafe Cuisine done right. I've been coming to M Cafe for many years, it's become a pillar of the cantonese/hong kong community in coquitlam for awhile now. Family run by some of the sweetest people you'll meet, and they're constantly contributing back to the community through fundraisers etc for locals. Portions are generous, food is delicious, service is very good by HK style standards. Also, if you order from their app you get 10% off the check.

Their baked dishes are some of the best in all of BC, ham and shredded chicken with their white wine dill sauce is a must try. Their steak combos are also great, and they have a Chinese soup combo which comes with an entree and rice, their deep fried cod with deep fried tofu pot is the best.

Very roomy restaurant with lots of seating and very clean as well, the staff here are exceptionally hard working and attentive.

Price is average by today's standards, looking at about $18 for their "small" sized portions (still very large) and about $20 to $24 for large portions (can be easily shared between 2 people). Not cheap but given their portions, very acceptable.

Great food and portions. Never got a dish that I disliked. The place is bigger than Coppa, so you can sit more comfortably, imo.

Went with family, price was a bit high and soup came out not hot. Meat was very nice and the coffee was also smooth.

Waiters gave us a larger round table instead of a smaller table, which was weird. A large family came, and they had to pull together 3 smaller tables. The small tables were also free when we came in.

The food quality is good but is completely ruined but the atrocious service! The servers just hang around in the back and when they do come to your table their attitudes are just horrible.

First visit today bad experience. The waitress who served me was rude. Care less and don’t give a F. Bad attitude and customer service. Food is average. I will not visit again. Sorry!
