| Golden Oscars Officially Closed
Just saw a image from my FB feed saying Golden Oscars on Rupert and 22nd is officially closed due to redevelopment. Man this place was a staple for late night eats and personally had the best tasting and value Baked Pork Chop on Rice.
Its a sad end to a great place..

I used to live in that area. Lots of fond memories going there after 9pm for their mini meal specials after studying at UBC. Curry beef brisket rice and baked pork chop rice were my favs.

Maxim’s Restaurant
Café Gloucester告羅士打餐廳
I Cafe
Copa Café
Sun Tin Day Cafe
BT Cafe
Goldstone Bakery and Restaurant ( so good.. esp when i'm in china town)
If that's full then I go to New Town Bakery & Restaurant
Kwan Luck Restaurant
my fav go to is 香港味道 Hong Kong No 1 Chinese restaurant in BBY
then you got your standard Happy Day in Burnaby...
There are TONS and I'm not even going to mention Richmond places yet.

Silver tower is the closest to Golden Oscar, they're of the same pedigree. Don't forget oscar's philosophy was cheap eats for mediocre homestyle food.
Some of the examples listed are a price level up (copa, gloucester) or just terrible (Happy day's HK style food isn't even as good as the non-cafe-style Congee Noodle King)

When I'm in the Main/Broadway area I'll hit up Kams Restaurant and Bakery. In Richmond I'll go to AAA cafe for their HK style breakfast/noodle soup.
For cheap late night eats I like any of the Congee Noodle restaurants or Silver Tower if I am in Richmond.
Happy Day is at the bottom of my list. The food, prices and store hours aren't very good.

For a lower cost HK cafe and near by Golden Oscar, there is Duo Tian. Its upstairs where T&T on 1st avenue is.
Food is alright. I find BT Cafe way better
I go there for their breakfast. Under $10 plus tax and tip

Thank god this place is closing, it was easily the worst place of it's kind in the City. I was sure they survived this whole time because of location as I've heard other people often say that they reluctantly go because the alternative is too far but it does appear some people legitimately are fans. Did they still have the dumb rule where you can't get drinks to go, like it was literally not an option?

I did like its hole-in-the-wall traditional diner with cheap food feel, though

Ate there a couple times, wasn't really memorable.
I won't miss the traffic from people trying to get into that plaza though. All the left turners trying to get into the alley from 22nd + all the parents parked to pick up their kids made it a mess there around 3.
There's a moron in a 4runner who *still* parks in the No Stopping zone on 22nd westbound. I've seen him do that for at least 3 years. I guess there's been enough complaints that 22nd on the school side, that this school year, it's now 5 mins pickup/drop off only.

The main things I miss about happy date: pretty cheap, open early (<9am)/closes late (>10pm), decent quality.
Aside from Lido, anyone else have richmond recommendations that meet that criteria?
