We're regulars at Alice's Kitchen and decided to stop by for breakfast on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend. As expected, it was busy, but worth the wait! The restaurant has a spacious layout and is styled like a classic Hong Kong café, which adds to the charm. One of our go-to favorites is the pineapple bun with ham, egg, tomato, and their special sauce--our family loves it. The peanut butter condensed milk toast is another delicious (and very sweet!) treat we always enjoy. We never leave without ordering the soy sauce noodles, which pair perfectly with their crispy chicken wings. This time we also tried the pork stew with rice for the first time. It wasn't our favorite dish, but we appreciated that the staff was kind enough to cook it a bit longer to make the pork more tender. Overall, this is a great spot for authentic Hong Kong-style comfort food. The hospitality isn't over-the-top, but the servers are usually friendly and happy to give good recommendations. Definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to! read more

We went for a late lunch and made it in time to order from the tea time menu (3-5pm). Tea time menu dishes come with a drink. We enjoyed the authentic Hong Kong style flavors. The restaurant is also decorated like a Hong Kong street. Totally fun. Even at 3pm on a Saturday, there was a line. Go to the front door facing Las Tunas Ave to put your name into the tablet to join the queue. There's a parking lot in the back, along with street parking. read more

Background On Visit that lead to 2 other visits: What it all started for me was when Perry P. posted a picture of the pineapple bun with chicken steak on yelp back in December. The picture looked very good that it took me almost 7 months (2nd visit) to finally try it. Visitation Rights: 3 times Wait Time: It depends on the time you go. The first 2 times I was able to find a table without putting my name on the wait list up front. The recent visit was on last Saturday where I had to put myself on the wait list. The kiosk is powered by Chowbus and we waited about 25 minutes for a table. Restrooms: They're available Credit Cards: They have a $25 minimum for credit card transactions. You can use Zelle to bypass the minimum, because the money is going to them directly from your checking account. Location/Parking: Located between Primrose Ave and Temple City Blvd. Major cross streets are Las Tunas Dr. and Temple City Blvd.. Parking can be found in either in front (Las Tunas Dr), the back of the restaurant, or along Primrose Ave, and Temple City Blvd.. Ambiance/Decor: Indoor Hong Kong "Dai pai dong". Don't worry you won't be sharing tables with strangers (Typical thing to do in HK). When busy, this place can be very loud. When not busy, noise level is comfortable. Along the perimeter of the eating area, you'll see some vendor stalls selling their products. Service: Service can be a little non-existent. You'll literally have to flag someone down, but they do try their best to accommodate your needs and wants. Some food items came out at a decent time. We did wait about 40 minutes for the classic meat combo that we ordered to come out. Food Of Choice: 1) Chicken Steak Pineapple Bun (bolo bao) Sandwich: For $10.25, you get a decent size chicken steak on a pineapple bun! It was unexpected, but you'll also see an egg, and tomatoes in it also. It tasted very good and wasn't dry. What a wonderful combo of sweet (pineapple bun) and savory with the egg and chicken steak. 2) Eggplant with pork chop sizzling pot: I'll probably have to ask the staffer that takes my order to tell the cook to put less oil in the dish. Besides that, the eggplant and pork chop wasn't salty. 3) Chicken Steak, Lemon grass pork chop, and filet mignon: I ordered the chicken steak from the classic steak combo and added the lemon grass pork chop ($5 extra) and filet mignon ($5 extra). I thought the combo was a great deal. The add-on's had decent size portion to them also. The meats were very good. Tender and not overly seasoned. 4) Fish Congee: Fish congee was very good. Had a decent amount of fish in it. Alice Kitchen For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back during less busy time. Would love to catch their tea time from 3pm-5pm. The items on that section comes with a free drink (coffee, tea, lemon tea, or lemon water) with 1 free refill. read more

I came here with my partner to enjoy a late lunch last week and had a great experience here. We ordered our food and the French toast with the condensed milk, which was so yummy. I was excited to eat here because I really wanted to try the French toast with a condensed milk which I've never had before and it's a traditional Hong Kong dessert that many people eat which is something I really wanted to try. It was incredibly delicious however yes, very sweet from the condensed milk but if you like sweet, you'll love this. We also got the minced pork and my partner also ordered a XO seafood vermicelli noodle which was pretty good but I felt like it was lacking a bit of flavor, but my fever has to be the mince pork which I always tend to get when I am there. Service is good and service is fast as the food can tickle during certain times however food came relatively quick. The only thing that took a while was for the French toast which came at the very end. We didn't have to wait in a long line. We just added our name to a waitlist and was called within two minutes. Highly recommend anybody coming in to eat and try their food because they have very yummy dishes. read more

I'm very disappointed as I ordered a chicken clay pot rice and there was barely any chicken. And what little chicken we had was mostly bones. This is the most upsetting and cheap amount of chicken I received for paying 15 dollars. That's absurd. read more

Had an excellent experience here. The wait was almost 30 to 45 minutes and there is a check in for reservations tablet in the middle of the restaurant. There is limited seating in the waiting area and you have to be on the lookout for your table to be called. They'll call your number three times before moving onto the next person. The portion sizes are pretty generous and the food was all delicious. The chicken wings and squid with pepper was a delicious appetizer. Their toast is also fantastic. Would also recommend the pigs feet, but there is a long cook time! Would definitely bring people here! It is quite the loud environment and closer quarters but it's part of its charm. read more

Sad to leave a bad review because the food was overall good but the service was bad... It took a while to get their attention. Even waitresses who saw you raise your hand or make eye contact keep walking by. I get it if you're busy but you can at least acknowledge and say you'll check in after. Probably took about 10-15 min to get someone even though there wasn't a wait. When we ordered our food, the first item came out wrong and again, we had to wait a while to flag someone down. The second item straight up didn't come out. By the time we asked, it was around 45 minutes after we ordered and we were done eating. But because they weren't the friendliest, we just sat and waited. When we checked on the second item, they walked away to check and didn't verbally respond to apologize for the wait or even acknowledge that it was coming out. The waitresses were talking amongst themselves in the corner and finally came by to place the food down. They didn't even say a word or look at us, just placed down the food and it seemed like they were passive aggressive. Meanwhile we heard two waitresses talking crap about another table for not taking white rice for their order. It's just rude to talk about people in front of clients. I assume they did the same for our order even though they were in the wrong both times. The whole time, nobody checked on us or asked if we wanted any water, napkins, etc. It felt like we were inconveniencing them for just ordering or trying to get their attention. However, it's upsetting that once our second food item arrived, two waitresses rushed over to get us to pay. In the confusion, our change came out to be a lower amount than we calculated but the waitress bluntly said that we didn't give enough tip and had to give more. Also, this didn't bother our family. But our grandparents who are used to other Cantonese restaurants didn't like the plastic utensils and bowls. The food was good, but I will not be coming back sadly, even though this is one of our family's local spots. There's always a long wait and there's confusion on who gets a table first. You have to flag someone down for ordering, paying, etc. And their service and talking crap about customers for THEIR mistakes is just inexcusable. You can see that this has happened in many of their other reviews. I get that Cantonese restaurants are fast and quick-service. But next time I'll be heading to Delicious Food Corner, Hong Kong Cafe, Garden Cafe, or HK Macau Bistro where the food is fast and they're at least more attentive. read more

Temple City has always been a central attraction/home to Chinese cuisine. Though, how often can you bring back those night market moments into a larger singular space? Alice's Kitchen has that answer for you! Alice's Kitchen brings street food style and carries the aesthetic that is unique to other restaurants. This mentioning how the crowd around doesn't exactly feel like restaurant go-ers but the vibe that you're part of a food market everyone knows about. Feeling almost one with the crowd! ‍‍ Speaking of which, part is this crowd is the amazing and fast and attentive. Fast to take orders and even offer suggestions here and there for newcomers like me! Let alone attentive to making sure the plate settings and water are all full and complete! Another kicker that separates this "night market" from other night markets around town? Average pricing for tremendous portions to take home! Three platings plus dessert was enough to moderately take home for two separate meals! The Stir Fried Noodles with Shrimp, Egg and Pork was one of those meals. Thankfully this is one of those dishes best served whether hot or cold! The noodles were plentiful and packed a lot of that savory flavor everyone knows and loves from these Chinese meals. Let alone the Intestines and Beef Brisket Egg Noodle Soup that was another take home meal; giving all of that warm essence and smooth broth that can even be carried the day after! Especially once those intestines and beef brisket really soak up the broth overnight! The only savory and peanut-y meal that we couldn't take home (because it was immediately finished) was the Sesame Sauce Rice Cake! For anyone who loves that chewy texture of foods (similar to tteokbokki in Korean cuisine), this dish carries that desirable chew and peanut sauce! And of course, the Ovaltine Toast that had never left the tastebuds that night. Sweet, milky and soft toasts wrapped and powdered with the famous Ovaltine powder! Definitely a great way to start or end the meal! read more

This Temple City location is pretty big and they have a check in waitlist system that will text you when your table is ready. They made the decor like you're in Hong Kong with lots of signage of street names. The menu is extensive, we did not know what to order. We ordered the small steamed flour rolls with the sauce and it was so disappointing. The rolls were soaked in oil and the texture was off. The sizzling chicken and steak plates were good and the portion is huge. You get to choose rice or pasta along with your sizzling plate. I really appreciate that they refill your ice tea or milk tea (huge plus). I would come back and try their breakfast and their soup noodle selections. read more

Love that there's an Alice's Kitchen right on Las Tunas now (But RIP Green Island, IYKYK!) However, the food here is awesome at Alice's. I'm never NOT going to get their Jumbo H.k. Style Pineapple Bun sando. For breakfast, I got the chicken steak one (it's really nicely cook and cripsy but not breaded chicken thigh, tomato, some mayo-like sauce) while dining companions double-downed on a seafood congee and their weekend only congee (it had pork and some kind of preserved veggie I believe!) Also we always get the off-menu yin-yang HK style coffee/tea for our beverage! As every other review has already mentioned, the decor is awesome...I've never actually been to a dai pai dong in Hong Kong so I'll take all the fabulous Yelpers' word for it! read more

First time visiting this place. We had been walking and noticed the line. First impression was good that it is busy. Sadly they did not have good direction to give customers on where they need to go to sign up for the waiting list. Note to owners: make a more visible sign! The green letters on a light green arrow was difficult to see. Once on the list, we waiting about 30 minutes (busy lunch). Which was good to see all the food coming out fresh and fast. That kitchen service was pumping out the food quickly. As we were seated, we got the menus and waited about 5 minutes before our server came to take the order. We order two main share plates, pineapple buns, congee and Hong Kong style noodles. We wanted to try a little bit of everything for our party of 3. As for drinks we ordered, Peach milkshake (sadly the server didn't get that in correctly and was given a Peach Smoothie, 1/4 star lost only cause my kiddo still liked the drink), HK style iced coffee (no sugar) and HK style iced tea (mid level sweet). The food came out in approximately two minutes, in intervals of 2-5 minutes. The drinks came out halfway through the food service. We understand that they were busy so, we are not holding it against them. 1/2 star lost. We did enjoy the interior decoration and the people happily enjoying their meals. It definitely felt like a special place for locals. The other 1/4 star that was lost was due to the saltiness of some of the dishes. We are sad that we were too hungry and did not get pictures. We want to come again and see if we can try breakfast here. I would recommend NOT coming when starving, you might get a little "hangry". 100% a FAMILY friendly place for lunch. It seems like it would be a better place for adults for the late night meal/snacks OR something for hangovers in the AM. Please note: 8am-10pm all week, EXCEPT Closed on Wednesdays. They do NOT accept AMEX. read more

Been wanted to try this place for a while. The inside looks like you are in Hong Kong with all the decors and the seating and tables. The food here was not bad but the service was not that great. I came here at 8:30 pm on a Wednesday and it took a while for a person to take our order. The place was packed and I did see all the workers like running around to other tables. When our order was finally taken, it took like 15 mins for one of our dishes to come out. They forgot one of our order which we did not want anymore. read more

There is another Alice's Kitchen restaurant in LA. Last month, we went there in Temple City and we went there in Monterey Park last year. My sister got the sizzling chicken and I got the sizzling mignon cubes. Mignon is a kind of beef. I saw the painting of Hong Kong. This is where our family lives and we went there long time ago. I saw a row of t shirts from Hong Kong and a fake market inside the restaurant. Also last Thanksgiving, we went there to have congee and my sister got a breakfast plate. read more

It's a classic HK café, food in my opinion is mediocre. Not much quantity for the price. Their milk tea is great. The worst part is the service. Impolite and verily rushed and yet they are unable to serve you quickly. All of the workers have poor attitude. The iPad for getting on the waitlist was broken and a bottleneck of people built up almost immediately. Rather than write down party numbers or finding another way to record the parties, there were 4-5 employees passing around the iPad to make it work. We waited for 10 minutes even though there were open tables. When we finally asked about our place in line because we were the first in before the crowd came. He said "just because you are first doesn't mean you are seated first". First of all, that is almost always the case especially if we have a small party. Secondly, the tone of this server (just one example of many) was unacceptable. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 This place has amazing decor and the Hong Kong Street or Food Market theme was so cool. Everything from their counter, to their chairs and tables was reminiscent of Hong Kong. Great ambiance, very YEET LAO, as we would say in Canto. Food: 5/5 Food was basic, nothing special, but you really can't go wrong with Hong Cafe food. Everything tasted flavorful. My favorite was their beef chow mien. My mom liked the XO Udon, it was peppery and flavorful. Service: 5/5 Check in for a table on Yelp ahead of time because this place can get pretty busy. I recommend coming before or after the dinner rush hour at 6 or 7. Once you sit down, the food comes out really quick and the servers are really quick about refilling your it drinks. read more

Ever since this restaurant opened next to BASCAI in late 2023, I was curious to why the parking lot was super full after this restaurant opened, so I gave this restaurant a try. After that, I often stop by at this Alice's Kitchen for dinner each time I am done with my monthly facial sessions at BASCAI because their food price used to be decent and the portion is big. They have the waiting list where you can sign up at their waiting area or online, which is great. However, sometimes, they did not really honor their waiting list, and they just let in anyone, who are lucky to be able to get their staff attention. Most of their food and desserts are great and delicious, but some other dishes are pretty bad that I had a hard time eating them. I usually love getting their chicken steak with rice, cart noodle, deep fried cod fillet with the cream corn sauce and cold horlick ovaltine drink. I think those dishes and drink are constantly decent. Last year, I also made a huge catering order from this Alice's Kitchen for my workplace lunch because of the food price and quantity. I don't expect great services from restaurants like this. Getting attention from the servers is also very difficult. If you happen to have any issues with your order, all of them suddenly will try their best to avoid/ignore you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After being a loyal/regular customer for a long time, I have to reconsider my decision to keep coming and supporting this restaurant after how shitshow it was last night (September 27th dinner time). They seemed to have several new workers last night. One of their new workers, a lady with pink t-shirt and labubu doll, came to take my order, but she did not take my order and the next table's order carefully. One server ended up serving me a curry dish that belonged to the elderly couple sitting on the table across my table. Then, another server, who was also a new worker, prepared and served my to-go order in a dine-in style, served on a plate, even if I already reiterated that the deep fried cod fish fillet with cream corn sauce is a to-go order to the labubu lady who took my order. I had to tell the server that it was for to-go order. He, then, packed my to-go dish in a to-go boxes, but, apparently, he did not know that to-go dish for deep fried cod fillet with corn cream sauce is usually prepared in three different containers (one small box for rice, one big box with some holes for the fried fish, and one small plastic container with a lid for the cream corn sauce) to avoid the fried fish from getting soggy. I have been ordering this dish to-go since the restaurant opened in 2023, so I know very well how this dish is supposed to be packed. After that, I mentioned about this issue to another lady, who was about to process my payment, because I knew she is not a new worker. But then, she became mad at me, called the server, while slamming the iPad for payment on my table and leaving it there for a while until another worker, a younger male worker, picked it up. I was shocked with this treatment. She treated me as if I was giving her problems, as if I was the source of the mistakes, even if I was not. I already told the lady with labubu doll, who was taking my orders, that the fish with cream corn sauce is for to-go order. It was clearly the lady with labubu doll who made the mistake when taking my orders. Meanwhile, the lady with the labubu doll, who was the origin/source of this whole issue, tried her best to ignore/avoid me when she saw the whole thing happening. Despite all the issues and their super rude treatments, I still gave a 20% tip for the nice and polite lady, who packed my remade to-go order and took care of my payment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I won't go back to this restaurant because they can get mad and being super rude at customers when some problems happened even if it is their workers who created the problems. There are other decent restaurants in the complex near BASCAI, and with how they treat their customers like that, plus they keep raising their food prices, I will stop going to this Alice's Kitchen, and start giving my business to the other restaurants in the complex. read more

I went to Alice's kitchen in Monterey Park before which was good so I decided to go to the Temple city one today. Unfortunately, it was a total disappointment! Compare with other HK style cafe such as delicious food corner, the food quality here is not good. I like the interior design which is very nice but it's too loud inside. Wait time for food is long and servers are loud and rude. Definitely not worth your time. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch on Sunday. The wait was quick. Sorry no pictures on this review because we got hungry and ate it before our cameras did. We ordered beef chow fun (乾炒牛河) and salt and pepper combo (chicken wings & squid) 椒鹽雙拼. The beef chow fun was delicious because it wasn't too greasy but I wish the beef were sliced a bit thinner. As for the salt and pepper combo, the squid was tasteless and too much batter. Service was good and attentive. They kept refilling our iced lemon tea without us having to flag them down, and it is also a plus for us because most places nowadays only give you one free refills. Interior is very colorful and vibrant. Another good Hong Kong style cafe to add to your list. Will definitely come back again. read more

I wouldn't say the food is amazing, But both the food and the interior definitely bring me back to hong kong! It is definitely the nostalgia factor. I also feel like maybe we did not order the right things because some of the other dishes I see on the other tables look fabulous. Will be willing to give it another try. Wait time is long. and that applied to both getting seated and getting the food arrived after you order. Store close at 10 and kitchen close at 9:30, During that hour they were blasting techno trance music not a good vibe if you wanna sit and chat with the family, but hey If you want to feel like you are in a stephan chow movie squatting at a streetside patio with a cigarette in your mouth outside of a nightclub on a busy hong kong Street this will be the mood for you. read more

Eating here reminded me of the street food life in Hong Kong. The decor along the walls showcase windows and food stalls, giving you into a street like experience- dining. The service is typical - efficient and bustling. The servers are kind and your food comes out piping hot and quick. Now on to the food .... BBQ pork bolo bun Flakey, crispy soft buttery. Included in the sandwich was egg, tomato, bbq pork and sauce. Wonton and beef noodle soup Tender beef chunks, Chinese broccoli with deliciously seasoned wontons in a tasty broth. Also came with the typical chewy noodles to fill you up. Overall, solid option for cafe food in SGV. They make food well and will definitely come back to try other dishes. Parking is abundant on the street or in the lot. Check in on the tablet to be added to the waitlist. I really liked the text notification when our table was ready as we walked around a bit to kill time before our table was ready. read more

LOVE the Hong Kong street (?) style decor that they have here and the C-pop that they play! Theming is A+ and I always love a restaurant that dedicates itself to a theme. The plates and bowls are themed, there are street signs from HK I'm assuming, a replica of a street vendor with all of the snacks and trinkets, movie posters, neon lights, magazines, and much more, very nice. And for such a busy and bustling restaurant (we went on a Friday during Spring break) with a large group of people waiting and the entire place filled, it was quite easy to flag down a worker to get our teas refilled and to order more. Just know that there is a cut off between breakfast/brunch and their lunch menu. We managed to make it in time for their HK style breakfast menu! We got the: 1) Pork & Preserved Egg Congee + Chinese Donut: -This is part of their Daily Chinese Breakfast combo where you can choose either fried noodles, the Chinese donut, or the plain flour roll with your main dish. -I'm gonna be honest I usually hate congee/porridge but the texture of this one was more solid/rice-y and more tolerable to me and had more "toppings" inside as well that added much more taste to the overall dish. -Not bad as far as a non-congee enjoyer like me can say. 2) HK Noodle with Curry Base: -It was a thin curry broth soup that came with thick egg noodles, pig intestines, fish tofu, and pig blood cubes. -This came with a side of fried curry fish balls. -Delicious hearty dish and we poured in the remaining curry from the fish balls which added a nice spicy curry kick. -Enough to share for sure. 3) Chicken Steak: -This came with over easy eggs, toast, and jam. -The piece of chicken steak was huge. The outside was light fried and crispy. A bit oily, but nothing that the white toast didn't help with. -Chicken meat was tender and the eggs were cooked perfectly too. 4) Corned Beef Sandwich (served all day): -Solid corned beef sandwich, no crust. -Comes sliced in 2 pieces. 5) Spam Macaroni Soup: -A good amount of spam and cabbage in this soup. -It was unique that the macaroni noodles were quite long as well. -Not too salty and it was bland in a good way since the salt was added in by the spam. I liked the chewiness of the macaroni noodles and I was actually recovering from being sick, so this was actually really tasty and comforting for me to eat. Very filling meal and more than enough for 4 people with leftovers to take home. I don't mind coming again to have some more breakfast or to even have some of their lunch or dinner menu! read more

First time at this location and man was it super bright. The whole decor and ambiance puts you back into those nights out in China! The service was alright. They do their job and that's all that's needed. Good on refills too! However, I will say that the reason why I rated this place was because the food was not the best. Or at least mine was not. I ordered the Ribeye, and it tasted really strange. It tasted old and stale, like it was frozen for a long, long time and left out to thaw for hours. This was my first meal of the day as well. I still finished it, because I just finished gymming so I thought well I need the protein. But after a while, I felt small stomach pains halfway through eating my steak. I finished it, but an hour later I had extremely terrible runs. There are plenty of better places like Garden Cafe or Sunday Bistro that won't give me the runs, so most likely I won't be back after this. read more

3.5 stars. The decor is certainly cute but the food is just okay compared to other HK cafe's in the area. Almost everything was alright but didn't wow any of us, was too salty, and lack the depth of flavor compared to other HK cafes. If you don't live in the area I don't think you need to go out of your way to try this but if you do it's fine. Decor definitely looks like Hong Kong but the food doesn't taste as good as HK sadly.

One of my favorite spots for Hong Kong-style food. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but I'd especially recommend going during their brunch hours.

We were pleasantly surprised at how great the place was. The menu was very extensive and we had a hard time deciding what to order. The decor was very cute, it gave you a feeling of dining outdoors at one of the Hong Kong hawker stand but indoor. Service was quick and the restaurant itself was clean. We ordered the ovaltine French toast, fried calamari and chicken wings, shrimp and egg chow fun, and a pineapple bun pork chop sandwich. Everything was delicious and very reasonable. A must revisit when I'm in the area. read more

Returned to try some other items on their menu. We got the: -Baked chicken rice: chicken was nicely grilled and tender. There wasn't much cheese on top this time so missed that cheesy bite I like. Portion of rice is generous and has pieces of tomatoes. -Black pepper udon: large portion of noodles with lots of black pepper and a few large cuts of tender beef. Good for 3 people with leftovers. -XO fish filet: very strong flavors that covers most of the fish taste which is what I always look for. Also big portion with lots of fish and comes with diced onions and green peppers. Busy ambiance as usual with a short wait time. You check in at the front entrance using their iPad. They take cash and credit card payments. Service was alright since we were seated at the corner (a blind spot) so it took them a while to come take our order and give us our check. The food came out pretty fast though. read more

I really wanted to like this place because Hong Kong breakfasts are just my favorite. Both times I came were for their breakfast menu. The beef chow fun is a classic and quite tasty, but was SO OILY. So take caution. Most of the breakfast menu combo/items come with a drink, BUT keep in mind to go cups are $1 (like really...). I would gladly pay a $1 if my server kindly offered to top off my cup, but some of the servers were not very kind. I don't expect exceptional service during these The second time I went, we ordered the chicken steak with toast (pretty good!) and the macaroni with pineapple bun combo (the macaroni was too mushy). Might give this place another try? But it was 0 for 2 in my book. read more

Alice’s Kitchen - Chicken stead with toast - Noodles Near Me - Temple City, California

Alice's Kitchen is a new discovery for me. It is always packed, but servers are helpful once you flag them down. I've only dined here during what I consider a brunch-ish hour, and they are still serving their breakfast menu which is extensive. As many other reviews have raved, their pineapple bun sandwich is delicious. While the protein itself, I normally choose the pork, looks dry, it doesn't taste dry. The generous portions of sauce along with egg and tomato make this sandwich very flavorful and moist. The slight sweetness from the bun is a perfect complement to the salty and rich fillings. Their salt and spicy pepper chicken wings are always perfectly cooked. Wings, along with jalapenos, green onions and garlic topping, are well-seasoned. Because it is made to order, it comes out hot with the skin crispy and the meat is very moist. I always order this. The menu is huge and servings are very generous. One of my breakfast sandwiches, which comes with the crust cut off, is how I like my sandwiches since I'm not a big fan of crust. It also comes with a big bowl of spam and macaroni in a broth. This pasta bowl is flavorful, but it was too much food for me to eat. I didn't think the macaroni would survive a reheat and I didn't bring it home. This place is on my list of usuals now and I look forward to exploring the huge menu. read more

What a great restaurant to get Hong Kong style food in Temple City. They have a waitlist that you can do from home. If you search the restaurant up on google there is a join waitlist, and it's pretty needed for weekends. The wait was about an hour without the waitlist. The vibe here is pretty unique, the decorations make you feel like you're in the streets in Asia. They speak both English and Mandarin so ordering wasn't too bad. Ended up getting a ton of items family style but some notable mentions that are definitely worth getting were these. Honey Walnut Shrimp - HUGE shrimps that were perfectly crusted and coated. (5/5) French Toast - It just looks cool and is filled with cream. Delicious and instagramable. (5/5) French Fry with Bolognese - Surprisingly i loved this. Unique, it's like French fries in spagetthi. (4/5) Mixed Grill - For $26 you get four different type of meats. Everything was cooked medium but super solid. (4.5/5) Most standalone dishes came with a huge plate of rice so you shouldn't have to order more rice. Prices were pretty reasonable and food was super delicious here. Only downside is the waitlist is pretty flawed and confusing. I can see why this place gets crowded! read more

Went here to grab breakfast with my mom after the gym on Saturday. It was pretty busy but we were able to grab a seat right away. The interior of this restaurant reminds me of street food courts that you would see in Hongkong TVB dramas. We ordered the customized HK style noodles with dan dan based, thick egg noodles, spam, sausage, fish tofu and fried fish balls. My mom and I both enjoyed the noodles. Can't go wrong with ordering the customized HK style noodles since you're able to choose your favorite toppings. The chicken steak took a while to come and I thought that it was forgotten. The chicken steak is the typical chicken steak you would get at any HK cafe. Both of our breakfast entrees comes with free hot milk tea which was my favorite. It was a filling meal for the both of us and would like to come back to try their lunch some day. There's street parking in front of the restaurant and there's also a parking lot in the back. read more

Great place if you want so cafe food! I came here once for breakfast and two times for dinner. I have to say I enjoy their breakfast way better. You get your meal and a drink with the price. At dinner time it doesn't come with a drink and you have to pay it separately. And some drink you can get refill. Try coming here on a weekday, since the weekend usually has long wait. read more
