Redbud Restaurant

I would say this is a higher quality Hong Kong Cafe restaurant. Their bun that came with the soup was super delicous. It was like a homemade sweet bun, soft and fluffy, like those Chinese bakery savory buns only with no filling. The soup tasted very flavourful and was not too salty and veggie rich. The ox tail in wine sauce with garlic veggies and spaghetti was DELISH. The ox tail was very tender and disintegrates with your fork poking it since that's how soft and tender and buttery the meat is. The only downside was my almond tea was too watered down... Like not enough almond powder mix that it basically tasted like water with faint almond flavoring. Otherwise, a good place for a standard nice dinner.

Been coming here on and off since the Bauhimia/Bauhinia days at the original location. I can only speak for the western dishes which consistently offer great flavours and good value for one of the better "HK cafes" around. The photos are one of the specials on the set NYE menu: duck wellington which was delicious (if you like beef wellington). Seafood salad was good and chowder was ok as starters.

Classic Hong Kong style bistro focused on "western" plates such as steak and rice, pan fried chicken or seafoods in sauces, or baked rice/spaghetti with creamy sauces. They also serve Cantonese classic fried noodles and rice dishes. Good HK style coffee and teas as well. Flavors are on the mild side and overall quality is good.

Good braised pork belly with preserved vegetables. The pork belly had a good ratio of fat to lean meat and the dish wasn't overly salty. Their baked tomato pork chop rice is good, as is their cream sauce baked rice. Their salmon fried rice is average and lacks flavour. The spam and egg sandwich was really good. The egg was a fried egg and not the scrambled egg that I was expecting but it was still tasty. The morning glory with beef was okay but the beef could have been more tender.

This is one of a few Hong Kong Style Cafe left in town. Redbud has always been consistent with their food quality and service, within a strip mall sharing with 7-11 and a popular Chinese Restaurant next door, parking can be an issue if you come during peak hours or weekends, luckily there are some street parking nearby. Must order dishes: German Style Pork Hock, Grilled NY Steak with Black Peppercorn Sauce!
