So Good Restaurant is open for breakfast lunch and dinner. But I’ve only gone for breakfast/brunch. Prices are low, so don’t expect super high calibre dining, but it’s decent cooked food. One thing that diners may have to get over is the appearance of the place. I’ve seen Unilocal reviews say that the restaurant is not clean. Thats not true. The place is a bit older but it’s not dirty. I’ve eaten in restaurants that have stickier table tops in Toronto. As we typically go for breakfast/brunch, we tend to order off of their all day menu. It usually consists of eggs and toast, noodle soup with some protein, and coffee/tea for around $ 6. The day that I took the pictures, I ordered pork & preserved veggies with vermicelli with scrambled eggs & toast. The hubby ordered chicken wings & instant noodles with fried eggs & toast. Friends ordered luncheon meat on instant noodles with fried eggs & toast, and beef brisket on rice noodle. Portions were decent sized, and taste is what you typically expect at a Hong Kong style café. Usually when you order instant noodles, the prices of the dishes are higher, but it was quite low here. The milk tae is pretty decent as well And service was friendly. A rare find at a Chinese restaurant. Since then I have frequented So Good Restaurant quite a few times. I thought I’d share this place with my parents. Turns out they’ve been coming for years!

Like many fellow Unilocalers have said, this place gives you that home style kind of feeling. Although it’s not the cleanest, and lacks in décor, their food is decent. I’ve never had a time where I found their dishes to be too salty, so I guess that’s a good sign. They offer HK style favourites such as milk tea, baked rice, fried noodles with beef. Their service can be a hit or a miss, especially when it gets a tad busier. Overall, it’s worth a try if you’re looking for a decent HK Style meal in the area.

This little restaurant is easy to miss if you’re not looking and the inside isn’t very nice to look at but the food is good and the prices are great for what you get. I’ve only came here a couple times with my mom and grandma but both times have been good. Tried their steamed chicken, ground pork with green beans, baked pork chop with rice and baked fish with rice. The portions are good and their afternoon tea is a good deal(soup, main, and tea). If you’re in the mood for some cheap good Chinese food then you should def try this place.

So good is a hk style restaurant, their food are just like the ones in hk and delicious. The services are pretty good and fast, food are pretty cheap in general. I recommend to come here for dinner since their dinner dishes are more tasty. But I really don’t like how untidy and dirty this place is, especially the fish tank at the door.

A simple Hong Kong restaurant. The price was very reasonable and the milk tea was great. Lunch combo can be 10 dollars include everything, soup/drink/tax

Not much to say actually. It’s a standard HK diner, a bit run-down in terms of décor compared to other places. As the other Unilocaler said, it is a very family vibe… reminds me of the typical family HK diners in the streets of HK. It’s near Leslie and Highway 7, but situated in a more office/industrial like plaza where there’s not much other food places(compared to a bit further down the road with Times Square etc). Despite it being Saturday around noon, this place was still quite full surprisingly — maybe regulars? Menu offerings are what is expected of HK diners. Portions are good, and food quality is not bad(but I wouldn’t say it’s ‘so good’). The HK milk tea deserves a thumbs up though!

So good eh? It’s not that noticeable of a restaurant, but my dad caught a glimpse of it when we drove down Leslie one day. The only reason we considered stopping here is cause of the«So», that being my last name. No, seriously. The decorations of this restaurant is practically at zero. It’s about as bland as a new house with no paint, and it’s also quite a narrow restaurant compared to other HK style cafes I’ve been to. I won’t judge in terms of decorations as I rather have good food and bad decorations than good decorations and bad food. Unfortunately, the food didn’t fair any better. The satay beef noodles was not very good. The noodle(ho fan) was way too thick and poor quality, and the strangest thing was we were never given a spoon for the soup base or to hold the noodles together, cause many simply fell apart. In fact I was so pissed off to the point I only ate half the dish even though I wasn’t even full. Service was also not the best, simply due to a lack of service. We had to seat ourselves, and the only time I saw waitresses was when we ordered, when they delivered the food/drinks, and giving us the bill. We tried to ask for a spoon, but nobody came to serve us after we got our food. Probably won’t come back.

So Good Restaurant definitely has a family vibe. I still remember the days when I used to hang around my mother’s store after school and do my homework and wait for her to get off. Here a handful of kids hanging around, watching cartoon on their laptops and playing games. Deco here is simple, service is fast and friendly. Afternoon Tea Specials from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm priced from $ 2.75 and up Beef Brisket with Noodle and Drink($ 4.75) is a all day special so great if you want to have a cheap/light lunch. Nothing fancy as So Good but is just Good enough for a fast meal!
