Yauti Jr. Food Stall is located in New Westminster close to a few other popular restaurants. I have been on the hunt for some good hidden gems in the Lower Mainland and Yauti Jr. Food Stall caught my eye for their congee and rice rolls. Their Hong Kong style breakfast and lunch items seemed promising.
Interior
The interior is clean and spacious. There’s nothing up on the walls, so it’s a bit bare and stale. Lots of space for small to large groups.
Kids
They provide high chairs, which is great. We didn’t go to the bathroom, so we don’t know if there is a changing table in there.
Menu
Hot HK Style Milk Tea
The milk tea was served luke warm and in paper cups. As we ordered a lot of food to eat at the restaurant, it was weird that it was not in a mug. Looking at their beverage station, there were mugs. Not sure what happened here.
The milk tea is very mediocre.
Sweet Chinese Donut
It’s not often that you find sweet Chinese donut at restaurants. We gave this a try and its not bad. Just get some scissor to cut it up and share with the table.
Salted Chinese Donut
The salted Chinese donut goes great with congee. Just dunk it in the bowl and it’s a great accompaniment.
Crispy Chinese Donut Wrapped with Rice Roll
The portion size was generous. I was thinking it would be half the size. It comes with sauces to dip into. It was decent, not my favourite, but it will do.
Preserved Egg and Salted Pork Congee
We went with the classic Preserved Egg and Salted Pork Congee. It has a decent amount of preserved egg and salted pork in it. We were surprised the salted pork was slices rather than ground up pork.
Steamed Fish Sui Mai
I wasn’t a fan of this. It feels like the ones I’ve had frozen from the grocery store. Wouldn’t order this again.
Curry Fish Balls
The curry fish balls were meh. Nothing very excited about this. Wouldn’t order this again.
Final Thoughts
We ordered a lot of items, but nothing really stood out. We were very disappointed from the milk tea and it never really recovered from there. The menu has a lot more items we didn’t try as we stuck to breakfast items.
If we had to come back, I would just get the congee and the salted Chinese donut. They don’t take credit cards but will take Interac.
