Fresh, plentiful portions, fast and friendly service. The decor is stuck in the 70s which I find endearing but not everyone will but the food quality, service and prices all make up for any issues you may have with older diner decor. A Belleville hidden gem.
This was our second meal from the Modern Cafe; the first was a delivery order which was great. We decided to go in for lunch. Inside the decor is from another era, very traditional. The food was great. We had lunch specials so cannot really comment on the whole menu. The portions were large and arrived hot. Service was friendly and efficient. Price was what you would expect in a fast food place; nice surprise. I think we will be going again. Our tastes in Chinese food are not exotic but if you like what people think of as "Chinese food" you will like the Modern Cafe.
Worst Chinese I have ever had! There was absolutely no flavor to anything, no seasonings or sauces on any of the food. Plus the beef and broccoli had an odd taste to it. Spent $52 only to throw the food in the garbage because not one person in my family could bring themselves to eat it.
Those that claim this is a good spot for Asian cuisine have never had authentic, well made Asian dishes. This place is absolutely gross in terms of food quality, avoid at all costs. The atmosphere is also very uninviting and stale. Please consider shutting down for good, you'd be doing the town a favour
I chose the Billy miner pie, which entailed coffee flavored ice cream with Oreo cookie crust that was big enough for two people. Brought some home for later. The Cherry Cheesecake was light and delicious. Waiters were very attentive. Food was brought out in a timely manner and not all at once.
A sham of a meal... Just dough & grease! Sadly the worst Chinese we have ever had. We will never order again from Modern Cafe. The chow mein was nothing but bean sprouts literally & the pork & shrimp we covered in so much greasy batter it was inedible. Just a heads up! Sorry to write this review, but don't waste your money!:
Garbage. Food is poor quality. My parents have always ordered delivery since years and years ago. Its always the same exact recipes and food. Very bland rice. Usualy overcooked. Noodles are nasty and flavorless. The food will taste good if you are very very hungry.
This small asian canadian cafe has about 100 seats but unfortunately i dont thinknive ever seen more than a couple filled. The service was absolutely amazing my server was kind and polite there would be things i would change but honestly its a mom and pop place i had the two eggs and bacon with fries and was absolutely satisfied with what i had. Always remember to love your small business whomever owns it because they can be just as much hidden gems as the big ones.
Quick friendly service and decent quality food at a reasonable price.
Beware! Do not order from here if you value your health. We ordered from this , once decent local Chinese restaurant and we almost ended up in hospital - our whole group of six! The price was ridiculous, a cool 200 dollars. ABSOLUTE RIPOFF AND ALL OF US ENDED UP SICK WITH FOOD POISONING.! STAY AWAY!
