Cafe Upstairs 樓上冰室 (Glen Waverley) – Authentic Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng Experience

I love it here. Food tastes like home in HK and the portion is pretty generous as well. Highly recommended if you’d like to try the authentic HK food and beverage here

Hong Kong flavour from my childhood memory. It was real, tasty and brought the good old taste back. Good menu and chef, friendly and helpful staff, the sofa booth seats are fantastic. Definitely my new go-to HK cafe for reliable dining experience.

A real hidden gem in Glen Waverley! You take the elevator up from outside, and it feels super unassuming — but inside, the ambience is great and the food is even better. My friends brought me here after a hike, and it’s easily one of my top 5 spots in Glen now. The K20 Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs are incredible, and the Iced Tea/Coffee Mix is surprisingly good. Service is friendly and quick, and prices are very fair for the quality. I’ve since brought my family and friends back — everyone’s loved it. Highly recommend!

This is the top of my HK cafe list now. The food portion is decent, not too small. Most importantly is tasty. The lemon tea is the best I have tried so far. I have tried more than 10 HK cafes in Melbourne. The lunch set menu surprises me every week, not repeated everyday. My favorites are HK style curry chicken, bitter melon beef, stir fried black pepper beef instant noodles, thick toast with condensed milk and butter, etc… worth to try

Your Ticket to Hong Kong. The decor is flipping cool!! HK themed restaurant Wall to Wall. The menu is huge and packed full of favorites you expect. The Curry Brisket Rice and the Eel fried rice was a huge hit. The HK Milk Tea is perfectly balanced. The baked rice portions are huge. We are too full to try anything else so we'll be back tomorrow

Place is busy and recommend to arrive non-peak hours to avoid the queue. We were lucky to get a table after 10 mins wait. Seats were comfortable. Staffs were courteous. Wife and daughter had the pork chop and egg with scallion oil on rice. It was good especially with the generous amount of scallion. I had the bitter melon beef with vermicelli. Average for me, I’ve had better elsewhere. Vermicelli could have been crispier. Overall pleasant meal. Will be back to try others.

As the name suggests it is located upstairs in one of the buildings along Kingsway. The interior has good 'neon light' decor. Friendly staff and super sonic speed service. Good food and drinks. The HK style milk tea has good tea flavour. The curry isn't super spicy but gives the right amount of kick. Their 肉餅 is very good. Lunch specials available from 11 am. 10% Public holiday surcharge.

Hidden gem alert in Glen Waverley! You actually have to take the elevator from outside to get up there, so it feels really unassuming at first. but once you walk in, the vibe completely changes. It’s warm, modern, and just feels like one of those places you’re glad someone showed you. My friends took me here after a long hike, and honestly, it ended up being one of the best surprises. The food is top tier, easily in my top 5 restaurants in Glen. Everything tastes fresh, full of flavour, and the portions are generous without breaking the bank. Service is great too (not “fine dining” level, but it’s a café, not a Michelin restaurant). They’re friendly, fast, and just get things right. Since that first visit, I’ve been back with my family and other friends , everyone’s walked away impressed. The K20 Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs are a must-try, absolutely packed with flavour, and their Iced Tea/Coffee Mix drink sounds odd but works perfectly. If you’re around Glen Waverley and want something genuinely delicious without the fuss, this is the spot. Hidden gem, no question.
