2.5*

It's good for food court food and good value.
But still missing maximum flavour that you will get at diner hk cafes

8.50$ gets you a full meal and drink. You'll be stuffed.

Good prices, service, and great food served in large portions

PREPARE TO WAIT... and wait.... and wait... after ordering. They made me wait for 35 minutes and weren't apologetic at all. Other reviewers mentioned the long wait also, so my bad experience was hardly unusual.

I came on a weekend and ordered a fried noodle. The food court was busy and Mambo had other customers, so I wasn't expecting my food to come out super fast. I've been to many other... more

Had been on the road for almost two weeks. Saw a girl in the food court eating baked macaroni. This is comfort food for me. Asked her where to get and she pointed me to this place. For about $7, you get a huge portion of macaroni in bolognese sauce and a drink (extra for iced beverage). Macaroni was a little mushy, but still comforting. Sauce is also a little sweet which is the Chinese style (I... more

Chicken chow mein is big portion but its too salty and just tastes off today. I'm going to switch to Leung Kee if I happen to be at Aberdeen Foodcourt and need a quick HK cafe fix.

As a snack, the boyfriend and I usually order their baked pork chop on rice. The portion is a good size for sharing but if we are both hungry then we would just each order our own meal.

I've tried their French toast and I was not a fan of it. It was a bit soggy, not as "deep fried" as I thought it would be but overall, it still makes a good snack once in awhile.

The downside of Mambo Cafe is... more

If you go on the weekends, be prepared to wait.

The Baked Pork Chop, as mentioned in other reviews, is great! Not the best mind you, but pretty impressive for a food court. The pork is huge, and the sauce is tangy/sweet.

I also tried the Yuan Yeng fried rice, which wasn't fried rice at all, but just plain white rice, with a cheese/tomato sauce drizzled on top. The portion was large, but it... more

Came here for some HK-cafe goodness.

Parking in Aberdeen is available, but horrendous, as you probably know.

I had the pork chop instant noodle soup, and a cold lemon tea. The dish was quite reasonable, at $6.50. Soup was nothing special (think of what you get at most wonton places), but did the job. The pork was done well, and wasn't soggy. Overall it was on the plain side, but this is... more

Possibly the best deal in Aberdeen food court. cold coffee/tea drink plus the asian version of French Toast (kaya in the middle) for just $5!!!

Can say this dessert well worth it by itself.

Must be good when there's a lineup here.... more

This kiosk/stand (? what do you call restaurants in a food court?) is located at the Aberdeen Centre food court. Serving your typical Hong Kong style cafe dishes, this kiosk/stand is one of our favourite places to eat at whenever we're at the mall. Along with your typical dishes, the prices are also pretty standard.

Baked pork chop rice. That's all you need to know. Best in town

Can u tell i love to eat at Aberdeen Center?!

I only come to Mambo Cafe for one thing and one thing only...The Baked Pork Chop!! This dish is so tasty, its got rice breaded fried pork chop topped off with sweet tomato sauce and cheese mm can u handle that?!?!? and the funny part is im not even a big fan of HK style food!

This dish passes my taste buds of love!

Mambo Cafe is located at the food court at Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. Mambo has a Hong Kong cafe type restaurant menu. There were a number of dishes that interested me here and I ended up ordering the Portuguese chicken. I had seen this dish before at Cafe Ori in Bellevue, but had no idea what this looked like or consisted of. It turns out this is a baked curry like dish. Anyway, I did not... more

While my friends and I were at the Aberdeen Center... we had a debate: should we do dimsum at Fisherman's Terrace or should we eat at the food court so we don't take up so much time? In our group of five, my friend and I wanted dimsum, while the other three wanted fast food. We obviously got outvoted.

My friend and I decided on the Mambo Cafe -- she wanted wonton noodles and I wanted a steamed... more
