Cafe 48 & Restaurant Bayside Reviews
Their food is so authentic, and the price is amazing! Curry fish balls and pork skin are so tasty! It brings me back to Hong Kong instantly! Highly recommended!
Love getting the herbal tea (good for internal heat) and mango pudding (good for the soul, lol). This time, I got beef fried rice, with herbal tea, and mango pudding.
Legitimately good hk food. Excellent service. They have a wide assortment. The mixed sauce rice rolls are phenomenal. Ask for the dessert soup of the day!
First time coming to this Hong Kong Style Cafe on the Q27 bus route properly named on 48th Avenue. It wasn't busy and I wanted to try their take out so ordered to go. The food came out a few minutes later and it was still steaming when I opened the container when I got home! My wife enjoyed the classic dish and it had plenty of beef to go with the chow fun noodles. Definitely a must sit and eat at the cafe next time.
Friendly service and delicious food!! Food is excellent!! I highly recommend
SUPER DECENT hole in the wall. Has all the classic dim sum and hearty beef noodles along with Singapore mai fun. Highly recommended for a quick fix without the hassle
Small HK style Cafe that serves a bunch of delicious HK food! They have lunch bentos for decent price (around $10 each, comes with soup). Authentic flavors and style for this area. Plenty of parking outside as well.
Compliments to the chef, nice wok skills, Cantonese favor is spot on. I ordered the breaded fry pork chop with fry rice over Portuguese sauce and Beef chow mein HK style for lunch. Nice favor on the fry rice and chow mein. Good ratio of meat on both dishes. Way better than the place on Springfield Blvd.
Update: service was slow not sure why only ordered a simple thai noodle dish and it takes very long wait. It's very salty and makes my tong tingle, will not order this again. My friend and I were craving Hainan 🐔 so I suggested we give this place a try since it's located half way between us. To both of us the taste of the chicken was better than expected, we didn't have high expectations. The sauces were good but on the salty side, it was good they put in side containers so use at your own discretion. The menu is extensive I am surprised what looks like a small store front can offer such a variety. I am going back to try some of their other offerings. Paid street parking available. Only a few tables but good for a quick bite. The only complaint is a small group of people/employee/owner?/delivery person smoking in front of the store making the experience unpleasant.
I got the shrimp fried rice and shrimp dumplings this morning, and it was amazing. The fried rice tasted very unique and different and flavorful the atmosphere is wonderful a very nice lady helped me out. Prices are reasonable. Portions are nice and big. Definitely will be back.

Overall - the food is pretty tasty! I usually keep it safe when ordering from a restaurant for the first time - The pork buns had filling that was flavorful, the general Tsaos was surprising delicious with tender meat, and the curry fishball rice roll’s sauce was top tier! The fish balls weren’t the best quality so I’ll probably skip those next time. Definitely interested in trying the rest of their menu!
Cafe 48 is fantastic! I’ve been ordering from them through Uber Eats, and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh and delicious, with prices that are super reasonable. It’s my go-to spot for a great meal. Highly recommend!
Extensive menu with fast service. Their lunches are well portioned and their taste is seriously down to earth. I’ve ordered from them at least 10 times; each time I’ve ordered something different. Their soups are also really good and change daily!
delicious, authentic food at a great price! they have so many yummy options, and the portions are amazing! i will definetly come here again, and i totally recommend it! the only negative aspect about this place is the atmosphere, tables seem cheep and they could make a cozier / better environment if they tried. it’s not that big of a deal though, for the food was amazing!
Small cafe with many food options, had the beef brisket with radish noodles soup and their milk tea. Both were pretty good! Definitely worth stopping by if you are craving for Hong Kong snacks/dim sum, noodles or rice dishes. The only thing is that they only use single use plastics :( even if you are dining in. Giving it a 5 star based on the food and milk tea I had today!
Exemplary service and really looks after their customers.

This is a great cafe. The staff are very nice and the cafe is quite clean. The food is tasty and filling. I go there very frequently and never get tired of it. Definitely a 5 out of 5 star review.
Our favorite is the satay beef rice noodle soup - very generous portions of beef with the house special satay sauce. The Hong Kong style milk tea is very good, though maybe one out of ten times there is too much milk. The curry fish ball and squid is also very good, even better than many places in Hong Kong. The fried rice and noodles are also pretty good. This place is very clean and comfortable.
Nice little Hong Kong cafe place. Hong Kong style milk tea is legit ❤️.
We heard about this place, word of mouth from friends. It's casual cafe with extensive menu, mostly takeout & orders pickup to go, with some tables & chairs and restroom. Prices fair & competitive among similar HK style cafe, fairly easy to find meter parking & free street parking nearby.

I ordered a preserved egg and pork congee along with a fried cruller. They both really good. A bit pricey at over $12 for the two items, but I was really in the mood for it and this place was right around the corner from where I was running my errands. I did see someone else order a sandwich and fries which looked amazing. I might have to try that next time I’m in the area.

Been here twice. First time ordered Beef Chowfun, tasted allrt so I decided to cme back again and try something else. I got Beef Chowfun again and Chicken fried Rice. The Chowfun tasted the same but the Rice was dry and had no taste. If u can't make Fried Rice taste good then I can't see making a third trip to this place.
