The line-up was about 20 mins. I was by myself but that's no advantage, as many other parties waiting were for 2, and it seems most of their tables are 2-person. I gave up after 15 mins and went next door to Tomoya (Japanese). They are next door to Lao Shan Dong. <br /><br />Was seated, served hot tea, and given menu within a minute of walking in. Had the $9 combo (three items) which were huge in quantity and well-made. Been awhile since I've been to Tomoya, now I'll remember to go back more often.LotusRapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996696895446779820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-80782674676334260422010-10-16T18:13:33.968-07:002010-10-16T18:13:33.968-07:00Anson, that place is way too cramped.

Some items better than others though.Sherman Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658949865479421864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-68563406755061757382010-10-16T09:02:31.225-07:002010-10-16T09:02:31.225-07:00Hey Sherman,

Although with a party of two, it was much faster. I could not imagine what this place was like during PEAK hours. Line-up could be 45minutes!<br /><br />Place is too cramped. I ended up having to help my server...serve me coffee, the entree, and cutlery. She could not reach my table because of a table in the way. Maybe I could have tipped myself. Heh.<br /><br />But agree. Large portions for good prices. There's no other cafe style place as competition in the area..as far as I know....right? Will likely go back.Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878560971925723051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-47510427389840254492010-09-22T22:26:38.902-07:002010-09-22T22:26:38.902-07:00Hi Jenny, it does taste okay.

And some items are indeed better.<br /><br />Holly, yah, no one had enough room for the waffles. Next time! T&J's eh? Well, at least they dropped the prices to align with their food quality.<br /><br />LR, prices range from $7 - $9. Good value indeed. http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/14/1534862/restaurant/Vancouver/Burnaby-South/Cattle-Cafe-Burnaby-BurnabySherman Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658949865479421864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-27910951482143721012010-09-22T22:21:56.350-07:002010-09-22T22:21:56.350-07:00That's funny Jenny, I also thought of Copa for...That's funny Jenny, I also thought of Copa for comparison too. Although I live very close to Copa, after the first 4-5 times I got bored of them and don't find their menu particular of good value.<br /><br />Since I work at Metrotown I should try Cattle. I was a Lao Shan Dong regular until their 2nd location The One opened up, and have been going there regularly since. But I do crave HK-style cafe food from time to time.<br /><br />Sherman, what's their price range and average price ?LotusRapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996696895446779820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-29504176974984635672010-09-22T21:11:59.000-07:002010-09-22T21:11:59.000-07:00I had a craving for Cattle Cafe this week, but cou...I had a craving for Cattle Cafe this week, but couldn't remember where their new location was. Thanks for reminding me.<br /><br />I really wanted their waffle balls too (which are reputed to be the best in Vancouver). Also, they have the best HK style food in the metrotown area. Consistent food and great prices.<br /><br />So where did I end up? Tom & Jerry's diner on Hastings. I had their salisbury steak dinner but everyone was ordering their $9.95 steak dinner and $5 chicken wings (1lbs) special. Maybe next time.hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-45603359135690003892010-09-22T08:36:08.085-07:002010-09-22T08:36:08.085-07:00my friend was just telling about this place too, i...my friend was just telling about this place too, it does seems to be a bit of a buzz surrounding it. The food looks okay, but from the sounds of it taste great. How would you compare this with place like Copa cafe?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000398518339402591noreply@blogger.com
