Gold Spring

Another day, another after-work meal with fellow foodie, Jennifer K. She knows where to find all the inexpensive places with good food! Gold Spring, located on Kennedy, south of Hwy 7, is a relatively new Chinese restaurant, offering good food at reasonable prices. We ordered from their Afternoon Tea menu - Singapore Style Vermicelli, Fried Rice Noodle with Beef, and Coconut French Toast. All dishes were under ten dollars, with decent sized portions. The flavours were good but the presentation could have used a little work. The restaurant was clean and bright, and the service was quick and efficient. Not a bad spot at all. I'll be back!

I came here for an early dinner few days ago. The environment is good, clean and tidy. Not a lot of people during that time, so service is not bad. Just that they have only one waitress, think they will need more in order to serve faster. Overall food is tasty, and with a relatively low price in compared to surrounding for regular meal, not special period. Highly recommend.

Heard about this newly opened restaurant so we went yesterday for dinner. Friendly staff. We ordered curry pork chop rice, Japanese chicken w/egg on rice and Japanese chicken cutlet on rice combo with iced tea, iced milk tea and hot tea. Curry not spicy as expected as well the curry sauce was not enough to go with the amount of rice served. The Japanese chicken w/egg on rice came with too much bean sprouts and onion. Overall is ok

It was kind of packed on a Saturday morning, but luckily we only had to wait about 5 minutes for a seat. The food took a bit longer, maybe bc I ordered a baked dish, so I waited about 20 min for my food while my parents' food came in about 10-15 minutes. I really liked the pork chop; it was soft and juicy, they already cut it up so there's no annoying bone to eat around, and there were no inedible chewy tendons or large pieces of fat. The tomato sauce was a bit tangy and makes me wonder if it was just from a can, but I liked how much sauce they gave. I also really liked the lemon tea. It was extra sweet/perfectly sweet for me, and the cup was huge. I asked for it in a takeout cup since I was going to work right after, but I saw the glasses they use for dine-in and they were also massive. They gave a lot of drink and it wasn't just full of ice like other places Apparently this restaurant was opened by an ex-waitress of Blue Ocean, which explains the similarity in menu. Tbh blue ocean isn't my fave I prefer new city but this is a good third option in the plaza if the other two are packed

I came here for breakfast this morning. The selection was ok and service was good. I ordered pork chop with rice noodles. The pork chop was very thin and tasted too much baking soda. The milk tea was ok, but certainly not what I would come back for. Overall, I think there are better choices just a few minutes walk away.

Newly opened Hong Kong style cafe. Soft Open today and offers 10% off. Sevice is very friendly, both price and food are good, definitely will try again.

New HK Style Cafe after BBQ place closed down. Not bad, not busy for afternoon tea time though. Lots of competitors in the plaza. Lots of combos to choose from. Friendly staff, nice and clean interior. No tv. Portions are smaller than your average HK style cafe. Good chili oil. Found a piece of noodle in my daily soup though. Spicy pork chop egg fried rice Good! Soft inside, crispy outside. Good flavours and boneless! Beef tendon brisket hor fun It's ok. Not a lot of tendon. Lots of noodles Milk tea It's ok.

Unbiased review: Very yummy! My family and I used to go to blue ocean every week. We always got their chicken steak which is my favourite. When gold spring opened, we wanted to try it out. The portion of the chicken steak is bigger than blue oceans and it comes with a drink blue ocean doesn’t come with my usual noodle order. I see myself coming here regularly from now on. I still recommend both cafes if you’re looking for authentic HK cafe food.

Went for a quick lunch today as feedback been alright but very disappointed. Ordered curry beef brisket on rice, sauce very thin and no taste, not to mention beef brisket overly cooked and tasted like those meat left over from making the soup... One of the worst curry I had for sure, maybe I ordered the wrong dish as the place was 70% full still so people actually came here. The one star is for the soup and the HK style milk tea, soup not outstanding and milk tea is alright. Overall portion also small and if they want to maintain their business they better improve. I should have gone to the food court inside for better value and quality for sure.

New HK café and they were giving out VIP cards for 10% off which expires in September 2023. The menu is exactly like Blue Ocean but the food is way worse. Please do yourself a favor and go to Blue Ocean instead. We initially wanted to order the Hainanese Chicken but were told that it's not available mind you, it was only 12pm. Then we tried ordering the Malaysian curry with beef brisket and was told there was no beef brisket. Ended up getting chicken instead. The meal came with tomato soup which lacked flavor. Their milk tea is very weak, barely any tea flavor. Would not recommend this place.
