Love this Hong Kong cafe. It feels like you really stepped into Hong Kong with the cool decor. The food is excellent but I took a star away for the okay service. But typical of cafes. We ordered the following and really liked it. - Curry Fish balls so good like in HK - beef fried rice big portion for a good price and very tasty - the mixed grill combo that came with chicken steak, fish, sausage, and a ribeye steak. Also with a choice of side of pasta or rice. We chose the pasta. It was a lot of food but made really well. Definitely recommend coming here they do get really busy, we got there at 5pm on a Friday and it was not busy. But as we were leaving they were starting to fill up.
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 ****
Stepped into Hong Kong without leaving SGV Alice's Kitchen in Temple City is serving more than just great food--the space itself is a work of art. The owner thoughtfully designed the restaurant to recreate the streets of Hong Kong, even importing furniture, signage, and decor directly from Hong Kong for an authentic feel. And the food? The chefs bring 20+ years of experience to the kitchen, and it shows. We tried the French Style Filet Mignon, Walnut Shrimp, Yang Chow Fried Rice, and Chicken with Black Truffle Sauce--each dish packed with flavor and executed with care. Come for the beautiful atmosphere, stay for the food that keeps you reaching for one more bite
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
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.
It's very on par with the HK flavors. Unfortunately, there was a piece of plastic in my soup. The server was apologetic and took the soup off our bill. It's clear that for dinner, they're understaffed. I hope they can have more staff so they can focus on the food. The restaurant was moderately busy
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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!

So bummed to have to update my past review and give it a lower rating. Went here the day before Mother's Day at 10:30am so of course there would be an hour wait I don't mind the long wait if the food would be as phenomenal as it usually is but unfortunately it wasn't. Service was friendly and not too attentive but it's understandable since it was so busy Don't get me wrong, it's still an amazing deal for porridge, beverage, and side for $12.50! However, I'm used to the Pork & Preserved Egg porridge having lots of pieces of duck eggs. Not only did it not have a lot of duck egg but it had a really foul aftertaste. Needless to say, there was hardly any pork but what made it worse, was it felt like the porridge was extremely watered down! This was 5/10 The side of rice rolls were very good. Loved the peanut sesame sauce! The rice rolls were very soft and fresh. This was 8/10 The Iced Lemon Tea wasn't too sweet and it was very refreshing! This was 7/10 I'll still recommend and return but probably not around any holidays! read more
I've been to Alice's Kitchen in Monterey Park before. I heard the Temple City location is better, so I was curious to find out why. They use the same orange utensils. After only one visit, I feel like TC's is cleaner (but it's not necessarily clean). I think overall the food is the same?? A glance on Google showed a lot of photos of their Cantonese breakfast items. I was here for dinner though. I got the mala chicken dish to share. I didn't particularly like all the small bones in this dish, but I guess that's normal. The flavor was ok and not spicy at all. The deep fried cod filet with salt was good. I thought the flavor was fine, but my eating partner said it wasn't seasoned well. Both of these dishes came with rice on a plate. So far I think there wasn't much difference between the two locations. I do recommend coming here for Cantonese food though! It's good. There are kid toys on the side too. read more
It was my first visit and probably would not be my last. Alice's Kitchen wouldn't be my "go-to" place because I find it too noisy for me. I get how it is a Chinese restaurant but if I am having a hard time hearing what someone across from me is saying, that's a bit of an issue. However, I loved their food and their service was pretty good. Their parking is located at the back entrance. Their menu is extensive but yet, not confusing. A 3/5 overall. read more

I usually love Alice Kitchen, the one in MP, but I was a bit disappointed last night! The food is usually really good and I love the vibe of the TC location that replicates an HK environment but I thought the food was mediocre. It was a normal Tuesday night and we ordered salt & pepper chicken wings, minced beef w egg rice, the seafood udon, and a HK coffee milk tea. The only that was good was the salt & pepper chicken wings, they were juicy, had a nice fry, and a good flavor. The udon was solid, nothing bad but it was just alright. I was really disappointed with the minced beef though, it's typically really good and flavorful but today the minced beef was chunky and the sauce was gravy like. When I've had it before it was a lot more saucy and finely minced with more flavor. The HK coffee milk tea, which is usually good, was also bad this time. There was not enough milk tea and was really watered down. Overall, I usually love the food here but maybe it was just a bad night for them. The MP location seems to be better. If you're looking for a typical HK dining experience, this is the spot. I'd like to say that the food usually hits and is really good but just wasn't this time. Food comes pretty fast and service was alright. read more

4.5 stars. One of my favorite Hong Kong dishes is the baked tomato pork chop rice. Alice's kitchen does it quite well and I quite like how they seasoned it. The tomato sauce isn't too over bearing and the portion size is generous. The Hong Kong milk tea was balanced with a touch of bitterness and sweetness. This place was quite popular, with the whole place packed for lunch. The service was quick and efficient. The interior decoration captured the vibe of a Hong Kong dinner perfectly. read more
I finally got to eat here. It's been on my list for awhile and it did not disappoint! Love love love the interior design. It will transport you to HK - creating the best type of atmosphere for this type of HK comfort food. Staff are friendly. They are well staffed for prime hours which is great. Cantonese is the dominant language but they also speak English. I came here for dinner with a friend. I ordered the bbq pork, fried egg over rice and she got the beef stew wonton noodle soup. Both were delicious and hit the spot. My BBQ fried egg over rice came with two fried sunny side up eggs, a good amount of BBQpork and rice with some veggies on the side. I would order it again! Love that the dish was sauced up, otherwise it would've been dry. We also share an order of pineapple buns - so crispy on the outside and so soft and buttery on the inside. It's perfection. Can't wait to come back to try other things :) read more
The interior is designed very nicely with very local Hong Kong tables, cutlery, and decorations. We came here for late lunch and there was a small wait, but service was fast. The HK noodles came with 4 customised toppings and I really loved the pork skin that tasted exactly like the ones in HK (which I have struggled to find in other places). The satay soup base was good as well, but the rice macaroni was on the softer side. The baked pork chop rice was flavourful with tender pork chops and a not overly sweet tomato sauce. Would come back for the nice interior and to try other items on the menu~ read more

I totally love the decor here - felt like old time HK! This was the best pineapple bun I've had. The congee had generous helpings of topping. Hong Kong tea flavor was on point. Loved that the condensed milk was on the table so you can sweeten to taste. read more
I didn't grow up eating at Hong Kong style cages but must say that they have grown on me the past few years. You can get a variety of food including congee, fried noodles, fried rice, soup noodles, curry, clay pot rice and even the Hong Kong take on western food like spaghetti bolonasie. But, with Alice's Kitchen, when you walk in, the place is designed to mimic a Hong Kong night market which is very cool. The food is legit too and I'd call out the Jumbo Hong Kong Style Pineapple Bun sandwiches as a must try here. The fried chicken steak Jumbo Hong Kong Style Pineapple Bun is the one to get. Check out my pics! read more

FOOD SOOO yummy i defff would come back EARLY to try their congee + pineapple bun, but there's still a good amount of food left at night considering it closes at midnight SERVICE the service was quick ! we did not have to wait too long for our food to come out AMBIANCE i loveee the ambiance here : there's a LOT of tables + it's decorated all around w/ neon lights read more
I've had Alice's kitchen bookmarked since early covid days. What caught my eye about this place is the sheer positivism from the SGV Facebook group on this specific location. When I arrived I can see why. The interior decoration has that cafe feel from HK. Although most of the cafes I've been to personally has booth seating this place is mostly round table and plastic chairs. As for the food, the selection is vast. You ca. Choose from family style shared dishes or individual sandwiches. We couldn't make our mind as a family. So we had some dishes for one and some dishes for family style. I got the braised beef with radish and brown sauce. It's not a dish not spells cafe food but this was my birthday meal, so I got it just for myself. We also got the pork Sandwich, the sizzling ribeye, and a tofu dish with rice. I also got a drink with red beans and condensed milk, a childhood favorite. Food comes relatively fast. I want to say the steak was the best tasting one, the most expensive, and the smallest of them all. Well, the sandwich wa small but that was half the price. We all had a bite of each other's here and there. The food here i like, but compared to a few other cafes in the sgv area this place wasn't in my top 3. Maybe I just need to come and try other dishes? I'm not sure but I do know lots of people come here as it was 80 percent occupied on a week night. Parking in the back is a plenty. read more

I finally got to try Alice's kitchen, although for their dinner menu instead of the breakfast menu. The is was really cute, designed to look like the streets of Hong Kong. The menu is extensive, but they advertise their customizable noodles in soup for $16. I didn't get it, since it didn't seem like that great of a deal. It also didn't seem like the items we got really stood out compared to any other Hong Kong style restaurants either. Food: -Pineapple bun with butter: standard - Chicken and mushroom clay pot: The chicken was very bony with smaller meat pieces, and the mushrooms were just okay. It comes with 2 to 3 strands of veggies as well as some pieces of Chinese sausages. They do not mix the clay pot with soy sauce here for you, so you have to do it yourself. The crispiness of the rice was pretty good, although pretty burned on the bottom. I've had better clay pots elsewhere. - Pea sprouts in garlic sauce: Well made, but also difficult to mess up. They also offered the option of having it in a soup. Overall, I think I will return to try their breakfast. But I thought that their dinner options were just okay and standard HK dishes. read more
I love the food here. From the food to the people who work here, it takes me back to Hong Kong. It is now 2025 and the prices are about the same as last year. The prices are fair for the portion and quality. The service is always on point and your food comes out quickly. I always order takeout so that I have food for the week. I wish they opened one in OC so I could visit more often. read more
The second time I came here was on a Sunday breakfast/brunch time. They have an iPad to sign up/check-in as they were packed. I was waiting in the back closer to the parking lot entrance. However, the host has been skipping my number and has been calling people who arrived after me. I finally went to her and asked her. She was not very nice, nonchalant, and disrespectful by saying "I called you!" I told her that I have been standing here, but did not hear my number if she can give me to next available table. She then gave me the table next to the exit where everyone was waiting. We ordered porridge and a fried noodle. However, food had lack of flavor. Highly suggest that they manage their quality control and service, especially during business hours. read more

First time here and I loved the minced pork rice (10/10)! It's a simple yet delicious dish that is definitely a must try. I also had their fried chicken wings and squid (7/10) which was good, but I wish the squid had a bit more flavor to it. I tried their ovaltine french toast (7/10) which was plenty sweet. It was drenched in condensed milk and the bread was a nice chewy texture. The inside felt like a mix of a Hong Kong street market and normal restaurant which was really cool. There was a small wait, but once we were sat the service was really quick. There's also plenty of parking around the back of the restaurant! read more

Came here on a Sunday around 3pm. It was still quite busy for a late lunch period. The place is nicely decorated and they had the hong kong street food theme concept with colorful neon signs. I knew it will be quite loud, but I didn't expect the amount of screaming children. We ordered: House rice roll, jumbo pineapple bun with chicken steak, pork and preserved egg porridge, and sizzling ribeye plate. Everything was okay, but the star we were waiting for is the jumbo pineapple bun with chicken steak. We were eating and after an hour, our Jumbo Pineapple bun with Chicken steak still hasn't come. It's my favorite item from Alice Kitchen, so we waited for it. We asked 3 different staff to check on it too to follow up and each time they say they are making it right now. Finally, it came after an hour of being late. On the bright side, it was cooked to perfection. I overheard a staff complaining about it to other waiters loudly because they were trying to turn tables. The staff wasn't even our server or one that I spoke to, which is kind of weird. Maybe another table had the same issue? Yet, they never went inside and complain to the kitchen. Thinking about now, the staff were quite rude even after what happened and I regretted my tip. read more
Love this restaurant!! Have been here with Cantonese friends who all love the authenticity of the food here. Love the Ribena drink with soda and lemon. Clay pot rice is only served during dinner hours. The interior is decorated to look like a station stop, and service is efficient. read more

Alice's Kitchen is a Hong Kong styled diner that specializes in breakfast/brunch food. We heard such great reviews about this restaurant and were super excited to try it. Honestly, we thought the food was good but nothing amazing or mind blowing. Just good ol' traditional Hong Kong food. But we loved the vibes inside! The inside of the restaurant is decorated to look like you're eating at a night market. Most breakfast items come with coffee or milk tea which is always a plus. We'll have to come back and try some other dishes! read more

First time at this location. Quite busy even though it was pretty late in the evening. Parking in the back. In terms of food, we ordered the soy sauce chow mein and baked pork chop rice. Soy sauce chow mein was decent, could do with more of the wok flavor. The baked pork chop rice was just okay, definitely had better ones elsewhere. Even the sister restaurant DFC does it better. read more

Pineapple buns with butter ($5.25): The pineapple bun was pretty good, not the best I've had but not the worst. The butter melts nicely even though the bun was no longer warm. Each order comes with two buns. I was in the area and wanted a quick snack, ordered takeout at the counter and they said it'll be a 10-15 minute wait. $25 minimum spend to use credit card. I sat in their waiting area and they don't notify you when your order is ready. It sits behind the counter until you go check. Pretty cool HK themed decorations inside the cafe. Will have to come back and give the rest of their menu a try. read more

Pretty good food, slightly below average service. Really enjoyed their HK style noodle soup, which they allow you to customize it. I loved the tripe, stewed beef, big feet and pig kidney for the four toppings. Chose the egg noodles, which was delicious along with the regular soup base.Would come back here again just for that. Service was fine, except they took my order wrong and blamed me for it. It wasn't fixed. Ambience reminds me of a Las Vegas feel but placed in Hong Kong. Interesting. Good for a casual date, but just make sure you go over your order with them. read more

Ordered a Chaxiu rice and it was all fat. The staff was not in good attitude and took the menu immediately after I ordered. When I requested Togo a lunch combo and they said only dine in . Will not visit again personally but still recommend who looking for budgeted combo. read more
Came by to try with my sister and it was so cool! Upon entering, it feels like you're transported to a lil Hong Kong street, the tables and plates just tie it all together. It's definitely a neat place to eat at. Everywhere you look there's so much detail. The food was delish and tasted fresh and clean. The service was okay, when we arrived it took a while for someone to help us, we had to flag someone down after 5 minutes..and for the waters too, you may have to be more assertive. But overall the experience was awesome. read more

Alice's Kitchen is a total mood if you're looking for that old-school Hong Kong vibe. The decor and the whole energy of the place feel like you stepped right into a local Kowloon cafe. I'll be honest, the tables and dishes are definitely showing their age, but you honestly stop caring the second the food hits the table. The honey garlic pork chop was a hit, perfectly tender with a sticky-sweet glaze, and the spinach with preserved and salted egg in broth was the ultimate comfort food. It's the kind of spot where the flavors are way more important than the furniture, and for a genuine HK meal, it's easily one of my favorite gems in Temple City. read more

Came here multiple times from Nor-Cal. The food is good, the overall dinning experience was good. However this one lady waiter was a nightmare. Came today around 10AM, ordered to go (since their spot always has long waiting list). When placing order, she always seems very unhappy, and impatient... I even gave some cash tips to cheer her up. Was told the take out will be ready in 20-25 mins, I went out and came back around 10:35AM, I kindly asked her the take out is ready or not, she was nearly yelling at me, saying that - she cannot see the number. At this moment, I was really have enough of this; so I handed the receipt to her, she went to the take out deck; checked for nearly 5 mins; and came back told me - "Sorry, I think I gave your order to some random girl". If she was nice in the beginning, then I would be very sympathetic and understanding... but she was giving me a hard time since beginning. It was raining today, hard to find parking spot, everyone are very frustrated, I think the least you can do is to provided some good service and smile. Now I am waiting and sitting here, for her to "correct her mistakes" and she did not even do me formal apology. I normally do not leave bad review for businesses, but if they keep doing this, I don't think "good food" will be the only factor to keep the customers. read more

I love the vibe this place offers. Sure, it's a bit kitschy in its Hong Kong street food decor, but I still found it cute, fun, and a nice reminder of my time when I visited Hong Kong. An immediate good sign during my first visit was that there were a lot of elderly Asian people eating here, so the food must be decent, and/or the reasonable prices make it tolerable. I ordered my favorite things for HK-style brunch, which is the thousand-year-old egg and shredded pork congee with a side of soy sauce chow mein, pineapple butter buns, and a hot HK milk tea. The pineapple buns could have used a minute less in the toaster oven, and the lower sodium content for the entrees was definitely tailored more towards the clientele, but all in all, I thought it was a nice dining experience. The server was kind enough to offer me some different options as I was struggling to order vegan-friendly to-go for my husband. The service can be a hit or miss since they are so busy - you just need to know how to assertively flag down a server when they pass through your table. read more
Friends brought me here, and I'm glad they did. Interior has a Hong Kong decor and feel. A very open space with various nick-nacks for atmosphere. Ordering is straightforward and the dishes come out quickly. We ordered several dishes, and everything was delish! (See pics). Pricing is fair and the portions are a good size. The menus show that they have a vast and varied selection of dishes to order - which can be difficult to choose. Everything looked really appetizing, including the dishes I saw at other tables. I'll definitely have to come back to try more. read more
Took my friends to try Alice's kitchen for their first time. They absolutely loved their selections. It's a great choice for people who want to try Hong Kong cafe, there are so many selections. We went on a long weekend for dinner, there's a wait (around 15 minutes), so it is not too bad. The taste and service is consistent compared to regular weekends. read more
Decent service during lunch time during the weekdays. I really like their drink options - you can take a cup of whatever you ordered - to-go! The baked foods don't take forever to come out from the kitchen and the curry doesn't overcompensate with loads of potatoes. The layout of the restaurant is pretty standard for how they feel in HK. Old school decorations of records and street signs. There all two entrances - one at the front on the main road and another in the parking lot area. I've heard this place gets packed during dinner time though - so try hitting this place up at those random times instead of the dinner rush. I'll be trying their pineapple buns next time. But my family says they taste great - I just wanted something that I didn't need to get my hands dirty for. lol read more

Alice Kitchen is one of my top fav late night Hong Kong places. They've been busy ever since they opened, but their service is super fast so I usually don't have to wait too long to get seated. All of their dishes are not super cheap, but reasonably priced for the quality and taste. I've tried many dishes here, but I'd say the crispy pork chop sandwich is my favorite here - the pork chop is crispy and there's some kind of refreshing mustard sauce with the lettuce. 10/10 for food, service, and ambiance IMO. read more

This for some reason is a staple in SGV for comfort food. Street parking and there's a parking lot behind the restaurant. The bolo buns are incredible. Everything else on the menu is just ok in my opinion, but it's not too heavy or salty and the portions and prices are good. As with most Chinese restaurants, you don't come here for the service so wave down one of the servers when you need to check out. read more
