Cha chaan teng (Chinese: 茶餐廳; Cantonese Yale: chàhchāantēng; lit. 'tea restaurant'), often called a Hong Kong-style cafe or diner in English, is a type of restaurant that originated in Hong Kong.[1][2][3] Cha chaan teng are commonly found in Hong Kong, Macau, and parts of Guangdong. Due to the waves of mass migrations from Hong Kong in the 1980s, they are now established in major Chinese communities in Western countries such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Likened to a greasy spoon cafe or an American diner,[3][4]cha chaan tengs are known for eclectic and affordable menus, which include dishes from Hong Kong cuisine and Hong Kong-style Western cuisine.[5] They draw comparisons to Western cafés due to their casual settings, as well as menus revolving around coffee and tea.
