    Curry fish balls & pork skin appetizer
    Sandee T.

    FIRST visit: * FARE(S) feasted on: *** Sizzling ribeye, medium-rare *** Sizzling filet mignon cubes, medium-rare * FRIENDLY service: Decent * FRESH air seating outside? Nope * FAIR pricing: Yes * FEE processing: None. Accepts credit cards * FREE parking: Yes, large plaza lot behind shop front (2 hrs limit) * FYI: Been craving traditional HK-style café food for quite awhile... this was a good choice. Huge selections on their menu (clay pots, baked rice/pasta, combos, you name it). Retro, eclectic street décor-themed. 5 parties wait ahead of us at prime time wknd lunch hours - but not too bad. Entrance from both the front side (off Las Tunas) or back (free parking lot). Service was quick and food came out piping. Lots of families with little kids dining too. Loud dining ambience. FOUR stars ****

    Came on a weekend and even though we had a larger party we were seated pretty quickly. i really like the pineapple pork chop sandwich, great balance of sweet and savory. The peanut butter toast was also rlly good. the green bean were very flavorful the century egg and pork congee had no pork and was not as flavorful as i'd liked. the rice and noodle dishes were decent, nothing too special. i really want to try the clay pot next time which is only available during dinner time

    kung pao chicken = $15.25

    I came to Alice's Kitchen with my family for a post graduation dinner because 1) This location is opened until midnight 2) The space can accommodate large parties. The thing is, I thought Alice's Kitchen was strictly a Hong Kong style diner, however, there is an entire section dedicated to Canto family style dishes. How lucky for me because it made ordering for my party of 11 seamless and easy. We ordered the following: -deep fried cod fillet with spicy salt ($13.95) -sweet & sour pork ($13.75) -kung pao chicken ($15.25) -beef chow fun. ($14.99) -yang chow fried rice ($15.50) -stir-fried string beans with minced pork ($14.99) Honestly, this was just as good, if not better than any Chinese family style banquet dinner I've ever eaten. Every single dish was solid and beautifully executed. Of course crowd favorites included the deep fried cod fillet and sweet and sour pork, but everything tasted as expected. Portions are generous given how reasonably priced everything is and ordering 2 of every dish was more than enough for my family. Our meal was very good and service was impeccable. I'll be back, I'll be back. For Hong Kong breakfast and everything else in between.

    The decor is very unusual but also fun for many of us. I think it's unique and all over the place with displays of movie posters, random items, and miscellaneous things such as shirts and signs. It was quite busy, the place cannot accommodate a party of 10 or more as the largest table seems to fit 8 comfortably or 10 if 2 of them are children. The wait time was quite long for a party of 9, parties of 4 or less were able to get seated almost immediately. When seated, the table was one of the larger ones but still a quiet squeeze. We each ordered a dish which I got the sizzling ribeye with mushroom sauce and pasta while the kids got noodles. It took some time for food to come out, they came almost one at a time. One of our orders didn't come so we had to ask about it and it did eventually come (bbq pork with egg on rice). There's steak was thinner than expected so asking for medium rare seemed irrelevant as the steak became well done as it was on a hot plate. The corn was good, a few pieces of husk was found but not bad. The pasta had a heap of sauce which we actually liked. The kids ate the noodles, which was basically noodles with soybean sprouts. The night was quite busy and lots of people making it super loud. Service was slow, we had to Ariadne our hands quite a few times and sometimes had to get up to find someone to pack our food to go. Overall a good try, maybe we'll be back but not anytime soon as a big party.

    Dined in for dinner around 9:30 PM. We had a group of 5. We were seated right away. The restaurant was 3/4 full. Atmosphere: It has a lot of old school items and it felt like we were in Hong Kong. Parking: Plenty in the back at this time. The front has parking as well. When we were there, a blackout occurred, but the staff reassured us we were okay. They provided lights and kept on checking up on us. I loved their enthusiasm throughout the night. I ordered the chicken steak with spaghetti and the lemon ice tea. It was huge and tasty. No complaints here. I would rate it 4.5/5! The lemon ice tea came with unlimited refills. The waitress was so nice to give us a drink to go without charging us.

    This is a crazy outdoor vibe but indoors. It's like eating at an open market! Cute decor. Service was okay but can use some improvement. Didn't get a water refill. The food was great! I really like the rib eye flavor but it was a little tough. Also enjoyed the eggplant. The noodles were okay. I'd pick something different next time. Yummy BBQ pork in the egg dish. House Special Fried Vermicelli ($16.75) BBQ Pork w/Egg on Rice ($15.50) House Special Fried Vermicelli ($16.75) Ribeye steak with garlic sauce ($19.25) Comes with corn and rice Reasonable prices for the amount given. Plenty of parking in the back.

    The Pineapple Bun Sandwich was elite - sweet and savory
    Sammy B.

    I need to confess something to you: I love Chinese food. However, it wasn't until the last few years where I've come to realize the distinctions between Hong Kong cuisine and mainland Chinese cuisine. It's been an exploration. But with each new Hong Kong style restaurant I try, the more expansive my view, and belly, get. Alice's Kitchen, specifically this one in Temple City, was a refreshing look at not just the food but the vibe as well. Design - Falling into a different world Walking into Alice's Kitchen from the back parking lot is like walking into a vibrant food court back in the 1980s. Bright neon signs are placed throughout the dining room floor, faux food stalls can be seen to give more of a community feel to the inside, and I love the sprawl of different props of newspapers, t-shirts hung on clotheslines, and big advertisements on the walls like you might see in a food court. It really elevated the atmosphere of the space and I loved their branded orange plates, bowls, spoons, and chopsticks. It gave whimsy to this place. Staff - Cool The staff here are like what you expect from any Chinese restaurant. You try to flag one down or grab their attention with your wandering eyes and when they come over you can tell them what you want. They take your order and usually within 5-7 minutes you'll start to see your food heading your way. Perfect for anyone hungry and dying to eat right away. When you ask for to-go boxes at the end of the meal (you definitely will) moments after you get your food packed someone will appear with a tablet ready for you to pay right there at the table. Talk about speed. Food - Onions galore I see that in Hong Kong cuisine there is this mix match of Western and Chinese tastes put together. This fusion of ideas is what brings something like their large pineapple bun sandwiches to existence. We got the BBQ pork (char siu) pineapple bun sandwich and this came warm with a fried egg, slab of butter, generous slices of BBQ pork, and a savory sauce. For one person, this could be a good main dish to be accompanied by a side. For this split between two people, this is a savory sweet dish perfect to wet the appetite. Highly recommend getting one of these. The sweet & sour pork was nostalgic to me. Served with chunks of white onion, green peppers, and pineapple the flavor of this reminded me very much of the sweet & sour pork Chinese-Korean restaurants serve, except for the color being different and no cabbage in the sauce. It has the sweetness brought out by the pineapple but still a bit of tang and deep savoriness of the pork with each bite. The onions were undercooked and you'll see this as a pattern for all their dishes containing onions. The French style filet mignon chunks were fantastic. Juicy and flavorful, each bite makes the mouth water more and more and the texture gave such pleasant mouth feels. The fried basil accompanying it also gave a burst of freshness and herbacious flavors. Just be careful not to accidentally bite into a chunk of ginger. Unless you love ginger. Then go right ahead. The beef chow fun with black bean sauce was great. Nice balance of their black bean sauce with the textures of the chunks of beef, the onions and peppers in this add a nice crunch and difference in flavor that balances all the savoriness. The tofu with spiced salt was also incredible. When I ate this still piping hot the crisp exterior with the hot soft interior made me smile. The spiced coating was flavorful and with some rice it gives a nice balance with each bite. Final Thoughts With all the food we got for dinner, I'm sure I leaned more into the Chinese cuisine side than the Hong Kong side. However, I was happy with the quality and depth of flavors in everything I had. Alice's Kitchen has definitely been one of the better Hong Kong restaurants I've had and I'm excited to explore more of this cuisine in the future. Can't wait to come back!

    Sizzling plate beef and potatoes
    Shirley C.

    They open until midnight but kitchen closes at 11:30pm Really have Hong Kong vibes in this bright roomy place Lots of merch to buy too Large menu available to satisfy everything from breakfast (Chinese and western), Cantonese favorites, Hong Kong bistro classics, desserts and drinks too The sizzling platter was incredible Crispy potatoes with carmelized edges And flavorful beef with onions too Classic rice noodle with beef stew had lots of gravy Seafood soup was a bit bland but very comforting

    minced pork with egg and rice
    Lauren H.

    My first observation was that the staff are very efficient and dishes came out very quickly. They have a large selection of menu items, decent pricing, and the sizes are good for sharing. There is a fairly large indoor seating area, and a parking lot in the back. It can get busy and loud during mealtimes. A comforting meal if you enjoy HK cafe food!

    Salt and pepper pork chop
    Nhi T.

    My boyfriend wanted baked pork chop, so we came here. I've never been to Hong Kong so I don't know what it looks like. But when I walked in, it felt like I could've been in Hong Kong. It was colorful and had night time, street-like vibes. We ended up getting the baked pork chop with pasta. Flavor was good. Not as cheesy tasting as other places I've had it at, which is a good thing for me. In general, I think the baked pork chop with rice is better, since I feel the rice absorbs the flavor more. I also got the salt and pepper pork chop, which seemed to be a popular dish here. The pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Service was good. They even pack your leftover food for you.

    Joe L.

    Great place for Cantonese style food! I've been here many times and it never disappoints! Honestly it's like comfort food for me, so I highly recommend checking it out. Some of my favorite dishes are the: seafood and tofu bowl and the egg, shrimp flat rice noodles

    We ordered the baked pork chop, chicken, wings, and beef chow fun. What's it about? This restaurant was the vibe it reminded me of Hong Kong. The service and waiters were very fast and efficient. The food was delicious and taste tasted like what you would get in Hong Kong.

    Ovaltine French Toast
    Ada W.

    Had a great experience at Alice Kitchen for a family-style dinner. We made a reservation in advance for their 8-10 person set menu ($438), and it was definitely worth it. The biggest highlight is how convenient the set menu is--no need to think about what to order, and you get a wide variety of dishes. Every course we had was solid. Standouts for me included the braised pigeon, crispy beef brisket (crispy on the outside and tender inside), ginger scallion lobster, and the black truffle fried rice. The portions were generous, and everything came out well-prepared and flavorful. They also included a complimentary Ovaltine French toast for dessert, which was a nice sweet ending. We added the HK-style pork ribs as well, which were also very tasty. One thing to note: the restaurant is quite lively and can get a bit noisy, and there are no private rooms. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter setting. Overall, great food, good value for a large group, and a fun dining experience. Would definitely come back!

Then she went to help someone else without so much as a "Hi," or an "I'll be with you in a minute." So I took the hint and walked out. For the first time in my life that I left a restaurant without ordering because of a silent staring contest. That was definitely... interesting. Onto the next adventure.

I recommend this place for simple Hong Kong brunch/breakfast.

It's a smaller restaurant and a bit aged and dingy, but that's how you tell that this place has character. They have daily and lunch specials and there should be some translated versions of the menus somewhere, but that's what I can deduce from the flyers around the restaurant. It was very, very busy when we visited, but the workers did their best to work through the chaos and get orders out, take pictures for our table, clear things out, etc. Lots and lots of energy going around. For our visit, we got: duck, beef cubes and mushroom, walnut shrimp, mapo tofu, fish maw soup, another similar broth soup but with beef in it, sauteed green beans, sweet and sour pork, sauteed egg plants, complimentary sago dessert, and a very special dessert that roughly translate out to double skin milk, which is a Cantonese specialty. Yummy layer of milk skin on top, yummy not too sweet custard texture. I heard from my friend that this isn't easy to find and this is one of the few places that make it. I'd come back just for this. We also got hot tea (as per usual) and a serving of white rice to go with all of the veggies and protein dishes that we got. My favs were definitely the beef, walnut shrimp (my GOAT), mapo tofu (decently numbing spice), and again, the dessert. Everything was seasoned nicely, not too salty and we didn't feel super thirsty afterwards which is great. Overall, not bad!

Situated inside an 8 parking spot lot, this restaurant has limited seating. During lunch rush, getting a seat may be difficult. I drive here after I tried them in Postmates because I want them to get all of my money. Postmates charges a service fee to the restaurant when you order from them so they always end up double-dipping: they charge the restaurant AND you to use their service. However, because they charge the restaurant a percentage of their sales, restaurants will often increase their prices on Postmates. So the prices you see are often inflated by 20-30% to offset the greed of Postmates. I come here quite often now for takeout. The staff speaks English well enough and my Mandarin takes care of the rest. I've had their braised spare ribs and cabbage rice dish. The savory flavor of the ribs worked wonderfully with the stir fried cabbage. The sauce ends up being absorbed by the heaping portion of white rice underneath. However, the true reason I come back is their desert: chilled pear and white wood ear soup. MY GOD. Sweet without being saccharine, thick without being too goopy. If you've ever had white wood ear as a desert drink, you know what I'm talking about. There is NO OTHER desert as cooling and refreshing. To amplify the cooking nutritious effect, they also add goji berries and jujubes--the two kings of health when it comes to Eastern Medicine. To this deliciously cold soup, they had one full Asian pear, hollowed out and cooked until divinely tender. On a hot summer day or after a long day of work, I can think of no other dish that puts a smile on my face. I'm going to eat through their menu and report back.

These items went very well with the white rice. -Ranch Chicken Tonic Soup: This soup had an interestingly deep herbal flavor. The chicken meat was a bit on the drier side. In my opinion, the flavor of this soup was impressive and excellent and I would return to try their other soups.

    Great value and taste. Reminds me of the old value you would get at HK cafes (larger portions and…read moreunlimited drink). The other places in the area don't quite give as much food and are about the same price. I love the soy noodles that typically comes with rice porriage, I asked for a custom one since I didn't want rice porriage and they granted it (lucky me). Looking to come back again for their pork chops and chicken since they give two in their portions! (This is a thing of the past)

    Solid HK cafe! This…read moreis my second time here, and first time for their breakfast. I ordered their 123 breakfast and got pork chop, toast with eggs, and macaroni soup with ham. My husband got the chicken chow mein, and everything tasted alright. The food comes with a drink and we both ordered hot HK milk tea. The portions are pretty big. I expected one pork chop, but I got 2. They were pretty sizable. The flavor was savory and umami. It was also pretty tender which I appreciate. I got my eggs scrambled and it was okay, it wasn't really seasoned. It also didn't taste like real egg? That was the only kicker in our meal. The toasts were pretty standard and it came with grape jelly. There was also a slice of orange lol. I'd say it's a nice touch. As for the macaroni, kinda disappointing because it's nothing special. It tastes as expected. I might try something else next time. The chow mein tasted pretty good. It's basically the dark soys sauce chow mein with chicken. There is mung bean sprouts and green onion in it. The ingredients are pretty simple, but they cooked it well. It had the wok smokiness that I like. Atmosphere was great. It was the weekend so a lot of families were out hanging out together. There was a little bit of a wait. I think I waited 20 some min, but they give you a beeper which I prefer over a call or text. Service was aight, as coming to a place like this, it's more about the food if you know what I mean. Would come back!

    Best service I've experienced for a cafe for a while and good Hong Kong Cafe style food. Affordable…read moreprices and Tasty Choice is well named because the food is indeed tasty. I choose this restaurant because they are open late, we arrived 1am and servers still choose to seat us! I like that the servers speak Cantonese and take requests seriously. After seeing they have beef brisket noodles I requested extra tendon because that is my one of my favorites... not only did they deliver but they blew it out of the park. Portions are large for the price we got a congee as well and it could feed two people. Parking is plentiful, sharing lot with Embassy.

I heard the establishment has new ownership and that the food was a lot better, so I went in on a Saturday night to see for myself. My party and I ordered the pork chop rice, baked Portuguese chicken rice, chicken and red rice, and XO sauce seafood udon. The chicken and pork chops were grilled really well and the sauces all tasted homemade. The fried rice for the red rice and pork chop rice all had good "wok air." The seafood udon could be drier and better without the gravy, but everything else was excellent and the chefs clearly have great attention to making the food taste good and have good quality, so the udon can be overlooked. Happy to see Tasty Choice flourishing under new ownership and so busy on a Saturday night!

My dad loved the beef noodle soup which is saying a lot cause beef noodle soup is one of his all time favorite dish to eat and he makes it all the time too. He said this one was one of his favorites and he loved the noodles. He said it was thin and bouncy and held a ton of flavor. The saozi noodles I got were also really good! Extremely flavorful and the noodles had an amazing bounce to them. I'll definitely be back to try new items. I also got the pumpkin cake and that was delicious too. A bit oily since it's fried but yummy.

You order at the counter and they call out your order number when it's ready. Tipping is not needed and it's not even an option when you pay for your order. Popcorn Chicken was excellent and portion was very generous for under $10. My wife described it as more like a cross between chicken karaage and popcorn chicken. It had good amount of seasoning without being spicy or overpowering, and tasted fresh. Beef Noodle Soup had good broth without any MSG attack. This dish can be upgraded to spicy soup if desired. You also have the option of going with flat rice noodle, round rice noodle, or ramen noodle.
