I'm not sure if this qualifies as an HK-style cafe as I would personally consider this more of a Chinese restaurant (think Congee Noodle House) but Shining Garden at the corner of Nanaimo and Broadway is not bad.

They have a dedicated lunch special menu valid from 10:30am to 4:00pm with an assortment of items such as noodles, rice, curries, noodle soups, congee etc and most items come with a drink, $0.50 for cold. There are some items that do not come with a drink, but it will specifically say so.

Most of their dishes are pretty good, but the big draw back is they do not have baked items and pick-your-own-item menus. Otherwise, for the location/area and for the cost, it's great value and the quality of food is not bad. The portions are generous, too.

Parking in the lot can suck as it is shared, so your only option is street parking or in the back alley. The milk tea, coffee, and iced lemon tea was pretty good! Milk tea could use a bit more milk, but nothing to be upset over.
