Gr8 tomato rice (see PIC below) .Tea is rlly nice and thick too
It's an iconic restaurant. Family run. Friendly atmosphere with an air conditioned 2nd floor seating area.
Better than expected. I recommend roasted pork/beef with fired rice, very delicious.
Hong Kong throwback diner. Quaint and interesting look and feel. Food was decent and service HK quick.
What a traditional cafe in Yao Ma Tei. The ambience is good. It serves what you want, but for me it is a bit pricey as the food portion is small.
Excellent and authentic vintage Restaurant. Quick and friendly. Service and great food. Very recommendable.
Historic café established in 1950. Still operating from the same premises since. Pricey for seating comfort
Food is ok and do get your orders right and fast as they have no time to wait for you to decide what to order. Food in HK is typically expensive. So if possible try to order within your stomach limit and share among yourselves.
I try to make it to Mido every time I’m near YMT. It’s a perfect place to eat local Hong Kong food, with a huge selection to choose from (maybe too much). I usually eat some sort of baked rice and every one I’ve had has been delicious. In addition to the great food, the friendly staff provides some of the best service I’ve ever received from a local cafe like this one. If you’re a tourist and looking for a good place to try some local comfort food, I would look no further!!
Food acceptable. The HK style milk tea is exceptional, according to my wife. I had the coffee/tea mixed. Not bad. The owner/manager is rude, particularly to her staffs.
Great corner Street cafe that overlooks the temple st gardens. Really classical decor, very kind staff, huge, varied menu of great food. Definitely gotta check it out - try to get a window seat upstairs!
Had dinner here while exploring Temple Street. Service was prompt and polite, the beef fillet baked rice I ordered was slightly bland, but otherwise piping hot and fresh. Overall, a pretty pleasant experience in a surrounding that’s a step back in time. Only thing I minded were the stairs. Seating was all on the second floor and those steps were steep.
A traditional Hong Kong style tea house. Ground floor selling breads and 2nd floor provide table serving. It's a famous scene appear in Hong Kong movie.
Followed a recommendation from Lonely Planet. Really don't know how this place has a 'good' reputation. The service was non existent, we spent almost $250 HK on 3 dishes (one was a side), and the prawns tasted and smelt off. Oh and I got food poisoning - Thanks for that
disgusting food gave my girlfriend food poisoning. also extremely overpriced. dirty insides and only a drain for a toilet (no females). horrid.
I have been in hk many times. But this restaurant is really bad. Over price, service not good. We get attractive by the colorful window seat. But we are not arrange to seat there and I m trying to change to there. They stop us and not allow us to take the photo . I really disappointed with this restaurant even we didn't expect before go.
Historical building. nice interior. nice view of the temple. underwhelming food though.
It's a place for tourists who want to see the old style Cha Chang Tang (local fast food eatery). But for local people, it is simple too expensive and the food is not worth the money.
Trapped in the 70s, Mido Cafe is one of the oldest Hong Kong diners left in Kowloon. It's a historical experience. An awesome place to checkout especially after visiting Hong Kong's History Museum. 👌🏼
A bit over priced but nice old school interior
It has a very historical feel with it's funny staircase, old style food and decor. Food is average by Hong Kong standard. Still worth the time to just soak up the atmosphere.
We took a walk back in time to Hong Kong in the 1960s with this local cafe or Cha Chan Teng. We enjoyed viewing the retro decor inherent in the walls, windows, seating, floor and ceiling.
Its well preserved interior was a stark contrast to the contemporary Hong Kong food. The menu was a list of the local interpretation of Western-style cuisine made popular in the 1970s.
We ordered the beef brisket with macaroni in tomato soup, French toast, milk tea, red bean ice and coke with lemon and ginger.
The French toast was a thick slab of bread heavily soaked in egg and fried to a crispy coating and dripping with melted butter and honey. It was fragrant and delicious to the bite.
We also enjoyed the contrasting flavor of Cantonese style braised brisket swimming in a tomato broth paired with soft macaroni.
The milk tea was rich and milky, and the light sweetened cold drink had a generous serving of red beans. The most unique in flavor was the hot coke boiled with lemon slices and julienne ginger.
Has the feel of old Hong Kong. Occasionally will see movie stars here
One of the better old style Hong Kong Cafe. Love this place and it's pork choo baked rice is just too good. Bo Lo Bun is very nice too. Why not have a hot coke with lemon while you are there.
The famous Mido Cafe. Apparently, the Lonely Planet recommends this place. Poor people who believe the book! Horrible service (well, it's honest to the HK culture in that way yes), no smile or polite / nice customer service at all. Feels like I'm there more as a trouble or bothering them than as a customer. Visited the place for few times, so it's not just one time experience. You get the same local food from any other cafe / restaurant in HK and for the interior - take a cafe trip rather to HK History museum which has exactly the same interior or to the Duddels street Starbucks. Both 10 times better than this place!
A rare shophouse which able to be occupied by a single use and survive till nowadays. Very nice mosaic tiles on GF, not much choice on food though
One of the old HK style cafe. Price is expensive compared to food quality. Food quality is just fine (It was much better a few years ago as I come here twice a year). As a tourist, it would be OK to visit here once. Just have a cup of milktea and enjoy the old style environment, and then move on to the Temple Street or Woman Street.
