Green Onion Cake Man closing central Edmonton location in early 2027
Edmontonians have just five more months to enjoy a legendary local favourite, as an iconic restaurant has announced its lease will come to an end next spring.
In a social media post, Green Onion Cake Man announced that the lease for its Alberta Avenue storefront will be ending in April 2027, thanking customers for “every bite, every smile and every visit.”
“We’d love to see you in the coming months,” the post reads. “Stop by, say hello and enjoy your favourite snack while you still can.”
It’s unclear whether a new location is in the works, but for now, there’s still time to stop by and get your green onion cake fix before the location closes.

Siu To, better known as the Green Onion Cake Man, has been a familiar face in Edmonton’s food scene for decades. Originally from northern China, To moved to Edmonton with a big family to support and initially worked in construction.
Eventually, he got into cooking, opening Happy Garden Restaurant, the first of several restaurants he would operate over the years.

A green onion cake appetizer, a Northern Chinese staple, was on the menu. Edmontonians quickly adopted the snack, but it really took off once To started selling the cakes at city festivals like Fringe and the Folk Music Festival.
Daily Hive has reached out to Green Onion Cake Man for more information about the closure, including any future plans at Edmonton’s markets and festivals.
For those who can’t make it to the restaurant, the cakes can also be found at H&W Produce, Italian Centre Shop, Confetti Sweets, and Lucky Supermarket.
