This restaurant is not bad but not great either. We had family dinner here for my niece’s birthday. We ordered the set 8 dishes with peking duck for $ 128 and a few additional dishes. My niece really wanted peking duck for her birthday treat. Service was very good for chinese restaurant. Our server was very quick with bringing our food, refilling our tea many many times, and changing the plates and emptying our the leftover. It was a quaint little restaurant; we were given a quiet corner and the kids had their own table so that was nice Food was very average. However, I didn’t like the seafood dishes here; the crab with ginger and onion was not fresh. Price was very reasonable I would recommend getting non-seafood dishes only.

We had cutlet pork with vermicelli n satay beef with macaroni for breakfast and comes with milk tea, good size with fair price. The only thing that need to complain was the milk tea not have enough«tea» taste

The prices for the bao zi and chinese baked goods are really cheap. We got 10 buns of different kinds, and it only cost 5.20!

This is my favorite weekend hangout place. The prices are good and the quality & quantity are perfect. I love the afternoon tea and breakfast there, but dinner hot dishes have good quality too!

Omgoodness, what happened… I know this place wasn’t ever like delicious but what made«OK» into«blur. eww« so disappointed… I know that I shouldn’t have high expectations for a hk style café but give me edible foods where it taste like something please… Its time for me to bring down this so called 3*…which I have no idea where in the world they earned it in the first place. First off, oatmeal and egg sandwich, oatmeal was too thick, tasteless and disgusting… it was cooked mainly with water and they probably gave 1 tbsp of milk for the colouring… *boooooo* family member ordered corned beef sandwich… and it was so little corned beef in it… felt like egg sandwich… Yes the prices are cheap but since when did a cheap place with edible food become cheap place + cheap foods??? Hello??? they are so lucky and smart with the location… right across from RHCCC. Over 4000 people worshipping in a large church…(im one of them) for the sake of price and closeness is where the business mainly gets their business… I’m sorry but ppl need to know this is not yummy food…

I frequently ate at Vienna’s Café(this place’s previous name) and the afternoon tea sets were amazing. Now after changing names to Billy, I believe they got a new chef and now their afternoon tea sets(especially the HK style or Westernized dishes like french toast, deep fried pork chops) just aren’t as great as they used to be :\

I can get confused really easily. Billy Bakery & Café used to be Vienna Bakery & Café. They still keeps their Chinese name of Vienna. So am I in Billy or Vienna? All I know is there’s almost 15 different kind of Noodle Soup to choose from and they all priced at $ 5.49 and includes a drink available from 11:30 am — 5:30 pm. Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Soup($ 5.49) was A-OK. Perfect portion size for lunch or a snack. I won’t make a special trip to either it is called Billy or Vienna. A good and reliable neighbourhood Hong Kong Style Café is always a good thing.

Was there for breakfast, menu is short and sweet typical of HK style«cha» café. Its actually funny how the items are alphabetized A D E D E F… so better point if you can’t say it in Cantonese/Mandarin or there will be a mix up. Ordered one of the vermicelli and was served in big bowl which surprised me. Usually they come in plates about an inch high at other«cha» places. Will be back here next Sat morning before dropping kids off to Chinese class not far from here.

This place has consistently been a safe choice for a quick & decent meal. Half of this HK Café is a bakery — I’ve never ventured into it, so I’m not rating based on baked goods. The lunch specials guarantee you a full belly for just under $ 6.00. The ox-tail rice is one of my favorites! The lunch combo comes with soup of the day, complimentary bread and a drink. Service is what you’d expect at any Asian restaurant — quick and to the point. They don’t make you feel like royalty, but they operate efficiently and that’s fine by me for the price I’m paying.

Billy Bakery & Café is tucked in a plaza where Bruno’s, Maxim and Yang’s are located. It is a Hong Kong style bakery plus Hong Kong style tea café. It used to be called Vienna Bakery & Café. In fact, the Chinese name remains as the Chinese translation of Vienna, but the English name has changed(see pictures). Based on Vienna’s reviews on Unilocal,the name change may have happened in end of 2012 /beginning of 2013. We ordered an eggplant and minced pork hot pot and a stir fried mushroom with beefs. Both entrees came out momentarily; I meant they literally came out within 5 minutes of ordering, leading me to believe that they were pre-made. They were hot and ready nevertheless. The beef stir fry strangely became a hot pot(I double-confirmed with the menu later that it was supposed to be a stir fry). It was very tasty. The Chinese name of the eggplant and minced pork entrée implied that fish sauce was one of the ingredients. Both my dining mate and I could not taste any hint of fish sauce. The dish was still tasty but it lacked that little bit of fish sauce taste. The most striking impression of the entrees was that they tasted like«really good» food court food. I mean they taste like the food from Yan’s Cook food booth of First Markham Place, minus the excessive oil, except Yan’s will use fish sauce in the eggplant hot pot. I am giving it 2 stars because the stir fry has become a hot pot without any hint from the menu or the waitress, which was a disappointment. Otherwise, it is a solid HK café that is worthy of 3 stars.
