    Wonton Noodle Soup
    Katelyn K.

    DFC closed down and I'm sure the locals are looking for a similar comfort spot. I've passed by Auntie Kitchen a few times, and it's always a full house. I stopped by in the morning and tried Breakfast Special Combo A ($12.99). It's a three items combo and it comes with a drink. I got Iced Lemon Tea, of course. I ordered Chinese Donuts, Pan Fried Soy Sauce Chow Mein and Plain Porridge. My husband ordered Wonton Noodle Soup and Egg Rolls. The menu seems endless. I barely scratched the surface here. I'd love to try other items next time. Quick service. And I mean quick. Once we sat down, the waitress was ready to take our orders. I haven't even looked at the menu yet. I found street parking in the front.

    The portion sizes are TINY compared to when I came a few months ago. The congee is a single serving now, not a giant bowl like all the other places. I do appreciate having the choice of soy milk as a drink though. -Roasted pork bone congee: Bland, wouldn't recommend. -Beef stew noodle soup: Noodles were snappy but beef stew was almost non-existent and the biggest piece was a chewy piece of gristle. -Pan fried rice noodles: Good wok hei. -Pan fried green beans: Got this togo and it was super tiny and no wok hei.

    Auntie Kitchen is overall not bad but not amazing. There are some items and categories on the menu that are quite good but, in the 626 area level of competition, it's not really enough to rise above the top. The roast duck and pork belly have good flavor and the pork crackles very well but don't have as much meat as other places. The dim sum was huge but just seemed like scaled up versions, the ha gow had very thick skins. The won ton noodle soup broth was also very very light. To the point that it seemed to be watered down; you could taste the green onion garnish more than any soup flavor. We came for lunch but the breakfast menu (served until 12) looked extensive and seems to be better rated.

    With Delicious Food Corner closed, we've designated Auntie Kitchen to be our Hong Kong breakfast spot. They have great combinations with a lot of options and affordable prices. They have all the classics like congee, wonton noodle soup, Chinese BBQ if you dine late enough in the morning, rice noodle rolls and even a small selection of dim sum. We've always enjoyed their pork rice noodles, huge bowls of congee, soy milk, and wonton noodle soup. Their food tastes more homemade and subtly seasoned than the average HK breakfast spot and they are staffed leanly, with a few aunties and uncles handling it all.

    We went to Auntie Kitchen for a late lunch---first time visiting. I had researched places in the SGV that serve salted fish fried rice, because this is a dish that JJ loves and he was craving. So of course, we ordered the salted fish fried rice, along with Kung Pao Chicken. The food was pretty good. The salted fish fried rice was very flavorful and the salted fish itself was good, with that classic salted fish taste. The rice was a little on the dry side, however. I would've preferred it on the moister side, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. The Kung Pao Chicken was absolutely fantastic. The Kung Pao sauce was perfectly flavored, with just the right consistency and the vegetables-- green pepper, onions,, pineapple and nuts were great. The steamed rice that came with the Kung Pao chicken was also on the dry side, and I would've preferred it to be moister as well. Portion sizes are also very generous. There was so much leftover, and we were able to eat it at home for the next few days. This is a very small restaurant, with only about 6 tables. The restaurant was full, but we were seated immediately. Our server was a sullen young woman who did not greet or welcome us at all. She took our order and then our food was brought to us. On the brighter side, there was another young female server named Macy who was very cheerful and friendly. She brought us our to-go boxes, and even offered to pack up our leftovers for us. She also brought us a little complementary dish of dessert, which was a Chinese type of jello/custard. The interior of the restaurant was bright and bustling with sounds of customers engaged in conversation. The ambiance was nice. By the time we finished our leisurely lunch, the restaurant had cleared out. There is a parking lot on the side of the restaurant. Overall, the food is good and the value is excellent. We'd like to go back and try the breakfast specials some time. Recommended.

    Came here for dinner with my hubby and the fam. We left feeling so full and satisfied. The service here is excellent. The staff kept checking in on us and were so friendly. They even helped us debone the fish! We ordered a fish (which was cooked 2 ways - the head was used in a soup while the rest of the fish was steamed), sweet and sour pork, and this veggie dish. My favs were the soup and the veggie dish. Even though the soup was made with the fish, it didn't taste fishy at all! The veggie dish was made with string beans, taro, bean spouts, radish, and Chinese sausage. I will definitely come back again for their food.

    Little place with a big menu! Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Ambience 8/10 Went on Sunday day after church with my lunch girlies and boy was it hot! Thankfully there's plenty of parking in the lot next door (though I didn't snag a spot in the shade!). It was too hot to drink hot tea, but it's offered. We opted for just the ice water on the table. Once we ordered we were brought a refreshing and light soup with chicken feet for flavoring the broth and papaya chunks. Never had it before but I loved it! What a great way to get your system ready for some good eating! We had the dishes pictures. Sorry but we were so hungry that I didn't take photos until we were half way through but all dishes were tasty and well done. I had chicken feet for the first time, and they were pretty good! The aunties were fast and solicitous even though it's a small place with tight seating. Oh! And a free mango dessert! Yum!!

    Chashu and Duck Rice. Comes with free soup.
    Chewson H.

    Aunties Kitchen is like a really small Cantonese cafe. There's like parking to the left and the right of this place and there's like a parking lot in front of the medical building next door. It's all connected with no fencing. Upon entry, it's a really small place. Has a mom and pop shop vibe for sure. Upon entry there's like a few tables and you can order things like your typical Chinese BBQ items like roast duck, roast pork,etc. I ordered a bbq pork and duck rice. It came with a free soup which was a nice plus. It was slightly cheaper than the competition for everything. The quality of the duck was good. Proper plum sauce was provided. The cha shu was a bit dry and there was no extra sauce for it. It is also very lean. The bok choy was not cleaned well at all. It was bitter and sandy. Just bleh. The free soup... I really wish they had better soup because it was really off putting. It was bitter melon soup. Super bitter, I could only drink half a spoonful. Overall, I think the duck here is fine. Everything else here is mediocre. Would I recommend this place? Only for the duck.

    Soup
    Gina M.

    Great food, very affordable price, and fastly delivered. The roasted pork is better than the roasted duck. We ordered the roasted pork center, roasted duck (would have preferred 1 pound not whole or half a duck, snowpea leaves sautéed with garlic, and beef chow fun. Pleasantly surprising, the food came with few soup and a mango pudding dessert. What a great deal.

    I want back to this restaurant for its breakfast and it is not disappoint. You get one congee with two items. This time I get the beef congee with fried roll and beef rice roll. The taste of the congee is delicious. The rice roll is delicious l, too. For the price of $12.99 it is a good deal. The service is attentive.

    Preserved egg and pork porridge was just ok - 2/5
    Christy C.

    This is a small Chinese cafe that has breakfast and lunch specials and is also open for dinner Service was pretty friendly and attentive. Not much seating inside and there isn't outdoor seating. Pricing was pretty reasonable ($13+/most dishes) during lunch special and there were 15+ options. Breakfast was $13 and is served 9am-12:30pm. It came with a choice of beverage (tea, coffee, milk tea), 6 different options for porridge, and two choices from a list of 12 items (mainly rice rolls or chow mein/fun). The preserved egg and pork porridge and it was just ok. There wasn't much pork and the egg pieces were pretty small. It didn't taste as flavorful as I was hoping and it was pretty watery. This was 2/5. The chow mein was nothing special. Lots of bean sprouts and not much ingredients. Pretty much just soy sauce mixed with noodles. This was 2/5 The rice roll with beef was very disappointing. It was falling apart when I tried to pick it up and didn't taste good. The texture was not fresh and meat was flavorless. This was 1/5. Most likely won't return or recommend

    Wonton and beef tripe noodle
    Benson K.

    I took my family and my son to the park today, and after that we were hungry for lunch. I was looking at various restaurants in the area I had not tried yet, and I noticed that Auntie Kitchen had a mix of Hong Kong cafe style breakfast, Cantonese stir fry specials, congee, and wonton noodles. Given the diverse menu, I decided to come here. I saw the breakfast was available until 12:30 on Yelp, but nowadays it's only available until noon. The restaurant is small, very hole-in-the-wall vibe, but there were still tables large enough for our family of 5. The wait staff were super kind and attentive to all our needs. For being a small hole in the wall, the restaurant was fairly clean. We decided to get a mix of different things. We got two lunch specials, a pork belly and stir fried string beans. We got a wonton and beef tripe noodle soup. We got a side of rice noodle rolls as well. The rice noodle rolls were fairly standard for the area. The lunch specials came with their homemade soup, which was quite tasty and did not have too much MSG as is often the case with restaurants in the area. I loved the string beans which were quite aromatic and flavorful. The pork belly was amazing also. I did not get to try the wonton noodle soup, it was too much food for me. For dessert they had mango pudding with some cream on top. I loved it as did my son. Amazing Cantonese restaurant, I would definitely come back again.

    Green beans with chicken
    Carolyn F.

    We enjoyed some Traditional Cantonese dishes. The vegetables are fresh and prepared perfectly. Service was quick on a Friday evening. A free pot of tea, individual cup of broth with squash & carrot were served after we ordered 3 dishes ( string beans chicken, fish filet bok choy and Shanghai noodles with duck) which came with two bowls of rice (no charge for the rice). Dishes were definitely large enough for four people or two hardy eaters. The restaurant is small but area is clean and simple. There are many more menu items, a lobster special and a breakfast menu that entice us to return to Auntie Kitchen.

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

Although we didn't do any of the specials that required ordering a day or two in advance (the braised morel and chicken soup or the winter melon soup), I think we ordered really well! As a group, we ordered: -Sauteed water spinach with spicy bean (needed some veggies) -Cantonese style mapo tofu (classic) -Spicy salt shrimp -Chestnut and chicken in clay pot -Lamb and bean curd hot pot (soup) -House special Vietnamese style lobster (more than 5 lbs), with added noodles I thought everything was tasty and just having a variety like that in a sizeable group makes this type of dining experience such a delight. We splurged a bit with the lobster and without it or per person cost probably would have been a lot lower, but sometimes you have to splurge and with a dish like the lobster here, it's a good one to do so!
