Welcome to Hong Kong Canteen, an authentic cha chaan teng nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of North Point. This charming cafe, located at 72 Wharf Rd, captures the essence of Hong Kong's iconic comfort food scene, where East meets West in delightful and delicious combinations.

As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a modern yet cozy atmosphere, a breath of fresh air amidst the bustling streets of Hong Kong. The inviting interior provides just the right amount of hustle and bustle, a perfect reflection of the energetic vibe this city is known for.

At Hong Kong Canteen, the menu is a delightful homage to classic Hong Kong fare, offering dishes that evoke nostalgia and provide a comforting plate for every diner. Don’t miss the famous pineapple bun – this beloved specialty, with its soft, sweet crust, pairs perfectly with a rich slab of butter that melts into every crevice, creating a symphony of flavor. Customer Valeria Bugriy hailed it as a "must-try," a testament to its irresistible appeal.

If you’re in the mood for something heartier, dive into their curry offerings. Jacky Lok raves about the unexpected yet delicious combinations here, such as the lamb chop paired with ox tongue, showcasing the chef’s creativity and commitment to flavor. Whether embracing traditional favorites like chicken rice or experimental twists, there is something on the menu that will capture your curiosity and palate.

For breakfast lovers, the breakfast sets are truly a treat. Robyn Leong had a mixed experience with the truffle scrambled eggs, which surprisingly provided a unique flavor profile different from what one would expect from generic truffle oil, giving it a distinct touch that’s worth exploring for the adventurous eater. Pair it with a refreshing Yuen Yang drink — a harmonious blend of coffee and tea that is both robust and comforting, as Jason Kong suggests, and you’ll feel ready to take on the day.

Space at Hong Kong Canteen may be limited during peak hours, but WY found ease in finding a seat during a late breakfast, where they enjoyed their meals amidst the cozy ambiance. The macaroni soup, chicken cutlet, and sunny side eggs on toast are also recommended for their heartiness and comforting warmth, making it a delightful start to the day.
