cafe kazka is such a hidden gem in foster city! my friend and I came to check it out for lunch after hearing it was a hong kong-style cafe, and were not disappointed at all. first, the cafe is so cute and also spotless- I could've stayed all day just reading or doing work. there was lots of outdoor seating overlooking the water which was so nice! I got an iced HK style coffee + milk tea which I've never had before but was so delicious. I'd definitely come back to try the other fruity drinks too! we ordered the tom yum noodles, preserved vegetables & pork noodle soup, salt & pepper fries, and the HK style french toast with peanut butter. the french toast was our favorite- it was fluffy and chewy and was just like the HK classic. the noodle dishes were both so hearty and flavorful too, and the portions were a good size. it did take a bit long for everything to come out, but it did seem like there was only one person working and she was very kind and accommodating when we had questions about our order. we didn't mind at all, especially sitting outside and enjoying the view! overall, I'll for sure be back for the drinks and to try some other HK style street food. read more

Cafe Kazka came up on my search for brunch in Foster City which was perfect since we also wanted to check out Osaka market. Overall, it was okay. Maybe we need to try other things. Or, maybe Kazka can upgrade from the camping utensils and serving plates for a slightly more elegant experience...it didn't quite fit in, yknow? First up Hong Kong French toast. It was delivered deep fried as expected, but it was really oily so maybe the oil wasn't quite hot enough? They also forgot the condensed milk but did run it over later. We also didn't get it stuffed so maybe it also would have been better if we did? I've had better variations. Next up, the bbq pork plate. This was actually pretty good! Their homemade cha siu was tender and tasty! Egg on rice is also a classic staple here but I also felt like it was missing just a bit of something, maybe more juice from the pork? Idk, I really like when the fattiness of the HK deli meats coats the rice. Lastly, fries. Pretty standard but piping hot and fresh! I could appreciate it. The yuzu thinned out the mayo considerably but the flavor was really good still. I think I'd return. There were some combos that were already sold out when we came so we should probably give it another go. read more

I stumbled upon Cafe Kazka when I was in the same plaza shopping at Osaka Marketplace. I like HK style drinks, so I was excited to try it out. We were initially going to just stop by to grab drinks, but decided to sit down and order a few snacks as well. The location is right behind Foster City's Central lake and the weather was nice, so we decided to sit outside. We ordered the HK style milk tea, OG lemon tea, french fries, and the siu mai. If I just ordered the drinks, it might have been a better experience. The fries were okay, nothing special - they were a bit softer than I like. The siu mai was just bad. I'm not sure where it comes from, but it was gummy in texture and tasted like frozen food. There were only 5 small pieces and we still couldn't finish it. The drinks were priced fairly, but the snacks were overpriced for what it is. You order at a kiosk so there isn't much service to talk about, but we did have to ask for a ketchup a few times before they remembered to bring it to us. Maybe I'll go back to try the actual food dishes. read more

Many things to say... for starters, the wait for a table and food can be quite long. Don't come hungry! Granted we came on Mother's day weekend for lunch, but the place was packed when we arrived. It's tucked in a little corner next to Osaka Marketplace by the water. We were lucky that a table outside was clearing out right when we were ordering. There was almost a few people waiting for a table at all times. The restaurant was kind of small, with only 5-8 tables inside (mainly for groups of 4 or less people). Outside there was several larger tables and the weather in the area is typically nice enough to dine outside. The staff seemed very stressed and under pressure. They were constantly running out orders and so they weren't very attentive to people coming in or waiting at the counter. Nonetheless we ordered a variety of things to share through the self-order kiosk. Between four people, we shared two appetizers and four entrees with some left over food. The siu mai and fish balls were as expected, nothing mind-blowing but the satay sauce was delicious and definitely necessary. Fried chicken wings were very crunchy exterior and moist inside, but the seasoning itself was a bit underwhelming in my opinion. Again, the included dipping sauce made the dish much more enjoyable. Lemongrass pork neck was flavorful and had that jowl texture that makes pork so succulent. The sweet chili sauce paired well for this simple dish. The fried egg addition is always nice. The bbq Iberian black pork was a little disappointing as the broth was a bit plain and the meat itself not as tender as we hoped. Noodles were decent. Cheesy corn pasta was an interesting fusion. The corn added sweetness while still retaining a savory taste from the sauce they used. A little creamy for my preference but I can see the appeal. HK style toast was unexpectedly good, but maybe because I had low expectations from the other items. There was a crisp exterior to the bread with fluffy interior, stuffed with peanut butter. The condensed milk is essential for this! Overall, neat idea that resembles many cafes in HK but average execution. We were hoping for more variety of dishes but it's alright for what they do have. It's nice diversification to the area. read more

Tom yum spaghetti is good. However, the service is extremely slow. I noticed multiple customers asking about the status of their orders.... It also took a lot of flagging down to get water. The servers look confused in general, and even pissed when we asked about the wait time after our food hadn't arrived after 30+ minutes. Back to the food... BBQ pork noodles soup with egg was not very flavorful. And I've had better HK style french toast elsewhere. Food was below average, but honestly it's their service that pissed me off more than anything, and I have pretty low standards for that. 2 stars. read more

Cafe Kazka is a casual cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Their restrooms are shared with others at the plaza so customers have to walk about 6 doors over and get a restroom code from the employee. We ordered from an electronic kiosk right at the entrance. The items we ordered used good ingredients, tasted delicious, and were well presented. The portions were not big, but adequate. The cafe was clean, and the music wasn't too loud. The one employee there was friendly and helpful. read more

We still love this place and wish it was open later! But we'll continue to come for a brunch or mid-afternoon snack! We love biking to this place and enjoying the food at the outdoor seating area! No matter how busy it is, service is always pretty slow haha. But it's worth it and the pieces are great. This time we tried the French toast with peanut butter and condensed milk. So good. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Overall pretty cute cafe with self serve ordering kiosk with little service. Food came out kinda slow. The tom yum pasta was decent in flavor except a little bit extra in coconut milk with a sweeter flavor. The satay noodle soup was lacking in flavor. The French toast was the best with the lemon iced tea. The HK milk tea was ok. The chicken wings were cooked well and the yuzu mayo was a nice touch. read more

My sister introduced me to this place before we walked into Osaka Marketplace. We ended up ordering only drinks as we had a heavy brunch. We ordered through the kiosk which we saw as soon as we walked in. It's advised to order & take a number prior to sitting down. I ordered the Ovaltine while my sister ordered the Lemon Ribena. The area is so relaxing, right next to the water. We saw people working on their laptops and others on a date. Our drinks came out quickly and the service was prompt. I'd definitely come back! 10/10. Reminds me of the beautiful cafes in Japan. read more

Tried it out because it was right by Osaka Marketplace, and the kiddo really likes running all around the the docks scaring off the pigeons and the seagulls (sorry birds!). Very chill place to simply sit and enjoy during the afternoon. Tried the drinks a few times with friend: HK Milk Tea, and OG Lemon Tea were legit -- transported me back to my teenage years grabbing random drinks at cha chaa tengs in HK. Yuen Yeung was actually outstanding, so their black tea is definitely on point. The mango sunrise drink and the peachy dragon fruit were good on a hot day; definitely more of a modern boba shop kind of drink; flavor was good, and as per usual, I like them very sweet. On actually eating there; food came out fast (but we were there around 4pm, when there was no rush, just a few people working on laptops and reading), utensils were good and the staff noted we had a small kiddo (so yay for small utensils for said kiddo). Siu-mai and Fish-balls were not that special, but it did taste like the usual HK snackies. Crispy chicken wings lived up to their name, sauces and the lime definitely completed the dish. Tom goong pasta was very good fusion; I liked that dish a lot, and it tasted like the thai soup with lots of shrimp. The cheesy spaghetti was classic HK style fusion pasta, good flavor, generous sauce. As per usual, kiddo got antsy after half an hour so we packed up. Leftovers were still excellent the next day. Other reviews have mentioned that their metal plate ware and cups remind them of camping gear, but I think it's rather cute. Really like their cups for all their drink so far, they actually thought about how user would drink from them either on the go or in the cafe. And ask intended by the kiosk, there's not too much service, and there's only ever 2 waiters at a time. Get water yourself, and it might help them out if there was section to help yourself to take-out boxes. I'll be back to try the french toast next! read more

Stopped by while visiting the local market and almost missed this place since it is tucked away in a corner and a bit hidden. I dropped in just for a drink and ordered the mango coconut slush. I have had a similar mango drink from Tong Sui, which specializes in mango desserts, and I would say this one was even better. The drink was refreshing, well balanced, and had a great mango flavor without being overly sweet. I definitely want to come back in the future to try the food as well. read more

Very cute little cafe that has a large menu for food / snacks. I got the drinks to go and the Hong Kong milk tea was definitely better than the viet coffee. But it's pretty expensive at $7-8 dollars each and it's not freshly made to order... Did not interact with the staff since you just order through the kiosk. read more

A very cutely decorated shop with a few tables and self order kiosks. Everything was ok but nothing quite impressed. But I would want to try their other non-noodle food. HK 5 Spiced Pork Dice Noodle was ok but on the saltier side. Broth was good but I felt like meat just needed a tad bit more sweetness for complexity. BBQ pork noodles soup was also ok where the bbq pork stood out more and not at all fatty and well marinated. The broth felt like bone broth but had hoped for more flavor. The bowls are the metal kinds so I had to quickly eat my noodles as I opted for the instant noodles. Unfortunately, my partners' noodle didn't come out until I had finished mine. I had wished that the iced yuenyeung came in a regular cup rather than getting charged extra for the can. It was a bit watered down because of the ice in the can for my taste. Guavaberries was nice and refreshing but also a bit watered down for my taste. read more

Cute HK-inspired cafe, but misses on value and authenticity Finally got to check out this Hong Kong-style cafe after months of hearing about it, and overall it felt underwhelming and pricey for what you get. The concept is fun, but in this case quality did not really rise above quantity. The setup is self-serve: you order at a kiosk, grab your own water, and utensils come out with the food. After ordering, you pick up a number stand and bring it to your table. That part is straightforward, but the menu prices felt high, especially given that HK-style cafes are typically more budget-friendly. What we tried: * Mango Sunrise: The kids enjoyed this one, and it felt fairly priced for what it was. * HK OG Lemon Tea: You can customize ice and sweetness, which is a nice touch, but the flavor didn't really scream "OG." The tea lacked the depth and lemon brightness you'd expect from a classic version. * HK Style French Toast with Peanut Butter: Served cut into quarters with condensed milk on the side. It was decent, but nothing about it stood out enough to justify the higher price, especially knowing there are more affordable options nearby. * Satay Fish Ball / Siu Mai: These tasted like basic frozen snacks dressed up for the menu. The satay sauce didn't complement the fish balls well, and the siu mai texture was pasty rather than bouncy and satisfying. * Honey BBQ Chicken Wings: Four wings for around nine dollars felt steep, and they lacked crispness and that satisfying HK-style street barbecue flavor I was hoping for. * BBQ Pork Char Siu, Egg & Rice: The portion felt small for the price. The char siu had decent flavor but was overcooked, the "over easy" egg came out fully cooked through, and the vegetables were also overdone. While this place has a cute vibe and shows promise as an HK-inspired cafe, a lot of the authenticity and creativity you'd expect from that label just isn't there yet. For now, I'd call it more "HK-inspired" than true HK-style, and I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back. read more

The Little Gal checked out Yelp to find a place for lunch and came across Cafe Kazka...particularly the Tom Yum Goong Pasta! So, our party of 7 headed out that way. With plenty of parking, it was a breeze to find. You order at the kiosk and take a seat. I didn't notice it, but the kids saw a sign mentioning they were understaffed so things would take a little longer than usual. There were a handful of people already dining and relaxing. This is a weird spot since they call themselves a cafe, so people tend to loiter despite the obvious influx of other diners. While we waited for our food, we saw a neighboring table with two families and small children. The small children were running outside unsupervised while the mothers chatted. When they finally left, there was a huge mess all over the tables and underneath. We also noticed a couple sitting by the front and noticed they were still there when we left. And this is with other customers standing around waiting for a table. And since it was understaffed, it took a little while to get those empty tables cleaned. Let's get to the food: * Tom Yum Goong Pasta $16 - The Little Gal saw this and wanted it and it was exactly as she had hoped. It was pretty good with chunky shrimps and good flavor. * HK 5 Spiced Pork Dice Noodles Soup $14 - The Little Guy ordered this and it must have been good because we never got to try any of it. * Spam and Egg Noodles Soup $13 - Three slices of spam, sunny side up egg with egg noodles in soup. Exactly as described. * Crispy Chicken Wings, 8 pieces / $17 - We opted for the House Yuzu Mayo which I really liked. My mom was less than impressed and felt like the meat didn't have enough flavor. The skin was pretty tasty in my opinion though. * Black Truffle Fish Siu Mai $8 - This was the only dish we didn't care for. It was just okay and no one really wanted to finish it. * Roasted Iberico Char Siu Rice & Egg $16 - The Husband really enjoyed this dish and thought it was a decent size portion. * HK Style French Toast w/ Fruit $10 - I ordered this thinking I would get a bigger share of the Tom Yum Goong Pasta. The HK style French Toast was good, especially when dipped in the condensed milk. The fruit consisted of strawberries and cantaloupe. They were sold out of a few dishes already despite it only been noon. Service - There really isn't any actually. You order at the kiosk and they bring the food to you. There really isn't much dialogue or interaction going on. We went up and asked for water and that was it. Not sure if it's because they are understaffed or what, but it's very relaxed there. Because of that atmosphere, guests do tend to laze around. Restrooms are not in the establishment and do require a little bit of walk by the other stores. It's by the water, which can be nice when sitting outside. Overall, there were a few good eats and a few that were just okay. Price wise - some were priced decently. I do wish they had some of their other dishes available though as we had our eye on a few other things. 3.5 stars read more

Great Hong Kong cafe in Foster City! The set meal with pork, pickled vegetables, and noodles in a clear broth came with a side of eggs, toast, and HK milk tea - what a fantastic deal! Total comfort food. The place was inviting, sunny, with a warm color palette and a water's view to boot. Mellow Canto music (ballads of course!) playing in the background. Service was HK efficient, as expected. You can also buy cute HK charms! read more

Had a great lunch at Cafe Kazka on a nice sunny day in Foster City. Located next to the new Osaka Market, Cafe Kazka offers some pretty tasty Hong Kong style dishes. When I think of "Hong Kong style" food, I think of spaghetti bolognese and fried pork chops with tomato sauce on top. Cafe Kazka doesnt offer those classics, but they do great with Hong Kong style comfort brunch. Ordering is done through 2 kiosks and if you're dining in, you grab any table number from the side table next to the kiosks and enter that number when you place your order. The service was fast and friendly. Tried the Cheesy Corn Chicken Pasta, pork rice plate, and egg tart. All of the dishes were tasty! Will definitely be back to try more drinks and other dishes. read more

Cool waterfront spot serving up coffee and Hong Kong cafe dishes. This cafe is super cozy and during my visit in December, it's decorated with cute decor for the holidays. All ordering is done by using the kiosks at the front of the restaurant which is a plus if you prefer contactless ordering. They serve a proper HK milk tea and a coffee with milk tea which is so comforting. The siu mai and fish ball came out quickly and the satay sauce made these tasty. Without the sauce, they are quite plain. The HK style French toast with peanut butter was delightful. The outer surface is lightly crisped and eggy and the inner part is soft and spongy. I got it with a side of fruit and condensed milk. really enjoyed it overall! read more

I only tried the snacks here and did not experience a sit-down meal. We ordered the siu mai and fish balls, chicken wings, HK coffee, and HK milk tea to go. The service is pretty slow and we waited almost 30 minutes for everything to be prepared. I wasn't a big fan of the siu mai and fish balls. I felt the texture of the siu mai was very chewy and not what I would expect from a siu mai, and there was a coating around the fish balls that I wasn't a fan of either. Their chicken wings though were very tasty and the juicy. I did really enjoy the chicken wings. For their drinks, in order to get them iced, you do need to order the canned version of it which costs an additional $1.50. I would be okay without the can but since there's no other option, if you want it cold it costs more. I personally liked the HK milk tea more than the coffee, but both were still good! read more

This cafe has a gorgeous view/patio in the Foster City Lagoon. I love how they have huge doors from floor to ceiling that open up onto the patio and deck. It feels so open in area on a beautiful day. This café has Hong Kong style drinks and snacks. I got a mango sago drink and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Both were really good. I enjoyed that they were not overly sweet and artificial tasting. They come in reusable bottles and if you bring them back, you receive a discount on your next drink. I would love to return again to meet with friends. read more

From the decor (even the little keychains!) to the menu, it really feels like a mini trip back to Hong Kong. And if she approves, you already know it's legit. Honestly, nothing we ordered missed. Every dish hit in its own way -- comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you'd want from a HK café. You order at the kiosk first, grab a number, and pick your seat -- indoor or outdoor, totally your call. Food comes out pretty quick, and the whole space is giving cozy, clean-girl café vibes. Definitely a spot you come to for the food and the feels. read more

TLDR: Great Fish Shui Mai This isn't really a HK Style Cafe in the traditional sense. For one thing, you order at the kiosk first. Second, the menu is a lot pared down compared to other cafes. It's got a few appetizers, a couple rice plates, a couple noodle soups. But nothing extensive. It felt almost like a tapas version of a HK cafe. When I go to a restaurant for the first time, I always have the 1 dish to compare. For HK cafe, it's the baked pork chop rice. But they don't have that here. We're venturing into the UNKNOWN, BABEEE. Also, for this review, keep in mind, my wife had JUST come back from HK. So HK food was fresh on her mind and tastebuds. How does this place stack up? ... Short answer, quite well actually. She thought the shui mai was the best in the Bay, even better than Sunshine cafe which we loved. The chicken wings were also really good. Crunchy on the outside, and juicy inside. It came with a dipping sauce, which was a bit unnecessary. My wife also really enjoyed the pork rice plate as well. Me... it was ok. I would definitely have preferred my baked pork chop. And from the menu description, I thought it would be a char-siu kinda pork. But, once I got past the dissonance, it was an ok dish. The pork was a little bit dry, but also very fatty. I like the egg on top, and wished the broccoli was cooked a bit more. I like it mushier. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite to eat, this is a great place. Just be warned, this isn't a typical HK style cafe. I guess it's a more modern style Chinese bistro... read more

I went to a street fair a while back where they had a stand, but most of their items were already sold out, so I didn't get a chance to try anything. Recently, I happened to be in the area and was feeling hungry, so I decided to stop by. It was fairly easy to order, you order through a kiosk. They didn't have a lot of options to choose from. I ordered their Hong Kong milk tea and wings (not pictured). I absolutely loved the wings, they had the perfect crust and paired perfectly with the yuzu mayo sauce. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back again. read more

Big fan of their hk milk tea and the yuen yeung! I love how it's still slightly bitter even with the condensed milk and actually tastes like ones I had in cha chaan tengs back in Hong Kong. Their siu mai is also good, but their fish balls were super disappointing. The satay beef also was super bland and tasteless. They used the same sauce on the fishballs and I was not a fan. Their tom yum pasta is delicious though so I would definitely get that again! read more

What a great new cafe at Edgewater Plaza--I've visited a couple of times, but am now getting to my review. The ambiance is nice. It's super cozy and a great place to chill alone or with friends. It's clean and spacious. On nice days, you can step outside and enjoy the view of the lagoon. I can have a light lunch or some Hong Kong styled snacks to go with my afternoon drinks--whether it is my favorite half/half coffee &tea, or HK milk tea or their Kazka housemade seltzer beverages. I eaten their soup noodles, fried chicken wings, fried shrimp on different occasions--feeling satisfied each time. Definitely worth checking out and a great place to stop for some refreshment after shopping at the newly openend Osaka Marketplace. read more

Food was ok: price was ok but food is like what you would get from a middle of nowhere quick stop by the highway. Wait time is ridiculous: ordered via in-store kiosk at 12:36, said expected to be ready at 12:59, went back to store and they said it's coming up. At 1:10, still says coming up. Then finally got my order at 1:22. Conclusion: definitely not worth the wait. Not even for a drop-by visit. read more

Casual cafe in the Edgewater Place Center. Caught my eye after a visit at the new Osaka market. Easy order via kiosk with a small option choice between HK snacks, pasta, and rice plates. I opted for the tom yum noodle, which had a really nice, authentic flavor with four pieces of shrimp. At $16, I'd argue that it is slightly on the "too expensive" side based on the ingredients and portion size. Many of the snack prices also made me hesitate to order. But the at the same time, it was a worthy dish in a very clean interior. Alternatively, you can sit outside and have a nice view of the lagoon. The server was very kind, acknowledging me sitting outside and making sure to wipe down my table. I also overheard him checking on a customer if the flavor of the HK milk tea was good, then offered to adjust it when the customer said it wasn't sweet enough. I wouldn't necessarily travel to come back, but if I am nearby, it is a good choice to eat at in Foster City. read more

Kazka used to be a boba place with varieties of flavors and toppings to choose from. Now they have opened up to be a HK fusion cafe in Foster City. The decor inside is welcoming and friendly but it's not a good place for elderlies who don't read English. We ordered our food at the kiosk and then grabbed a table # on the table. It's self ordering and self seating kind of place so that the employees are freed up to serve and make drinks for the dine in customers. The person at the drink station isn't professional as he made our drink wrong and the female waiter didn't offer to remake our drink again but instead gave us a refund on the glass bottle. Our food came quick but they were a tad salty! The only thing that was good were the fried chicken wings with house yuzu mayo. We didn't finish one of our food so we asked for a box. Again, the person at the drink station didn't pay attention, he hand the female waiter a take out box that already had a stain or grease on the box. When we asked the female waiter to switched it out for us. Her reply was "hold on"(which I found was rude) so we went back to the person at the drink station. He apologized and gave us another take out box. I would not come back again until they make improvements on their staff and service. read more

We had a great meal and I enjoyed it a lot. We tried some new dishes and they were great. The tom yum noodles were fantastic, nicely flavored and I loved the sauce. The fried shrimp were a great addition, a nice upgrade to the tom yum noodles. The char siu was solid, though the meat could have been more tender and fatty. I love it when they use pork belly and it melts. The milk tea was good. We had it with 50% sweetness but think that 75% would be optimal. We finished off the meal with egg tarts and they were fantastic, perfectly flaky with many layers. We would get the cheesy pasta next time instead of char siu. Very good overall experience! read more

Such a cute Hong Kong cafe located around the Foster City waters! I came here on a Sunday with some friends and it was not super busy, there were plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. You order your food via tablet and get a number card before sitting down. The interior felt super homey and comfortable, definitely a good place to study or do some work. I ordered the five spice pork noodle soup, satay fish balls, and a Hong Kong milk tea. The fish balls were so yummy and the satay sauce was nutty and savory. The five spice pork noodle soup was super flavorful with a light broth; I personally thought the pork was a little too dry to chew on but still a good meal nonetheless. The Hong Kong milk tea was so good! It definitely focuses more on the tea flavor and their sweetness levels are super accurate. I did think service was pretty slow as it took roughly 30 minutes for the server to bring each of our dish (so maybe 1.5 hour wait total?). Honestly, I would usually be stingy with service but it seems they're a small cafe trying their best to accommodate for everybody. I think they only had at most 1-2 chefs as well. Hopefully as they gain popularity, there would be more employees to help! I would definitely come back here again and I would try their other dishes. read more

Great place for some outdoor dining and then a grocery run afterwards. read more

I think Hong Kong cafes are fun to eat at so we tried this place on a Sunday afternoon. You can order at the kiosk or at the front. Service was surprisingly very slow. It took like a good 30 min to an hour (?!) for food and drinks to come out. They didn't seem super busy so I was wondering if they were having trouble juggling orders in the back. Perhaps they were understaffed. I did find my food enjoyable though. I got a char siu dish and it was very flavorful. I also liked the fried rice that came with the dish. The sauce was a nice pairing as well. I thought the dragonfruit seltzer was just okay. Maybe I would have preferred it not seltzer and have it be flat but it was fine. I would consider coming back since we liked the food, but I would be wary about the slow service! read more

I love the fact that there are more and more HK cafes popping in the Bay Area! Came in on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seats available and plenty of parking spots around. I really love the chill vibes of this cafe! It very modern, simple and a bit chic. Super nice being able to see and enjoy the waters when sipping on some coffee or milk tea. The cafe had two tables with lounging/camping chairs on the corner and normal seating throughout. There are two self-ordering kiosk at the corner or you can also order in front. I wished they did provide clearer instructions on the self-ordering since I saw this old couple struggle with it; but the staff was very patient and helpful. It seems like they are a bit short staffed, as the waitress seemed a bit flustered when serving only a few tables. Food did take a bit for it to arrive(around 25 mins give or take) I order a few things to try: 1) Preserved Veggies and Shredded Pork W/Egg(Rice Noodles)(5.7/10) - This noodle soup was just okay. The broth itself overall was very light and didn't have any flavor. The preserved veggies(usually mustard greens or snow cabbage) and "shredded" pork was decent. I'm not sure if they change it up since mine came with thinly sliced pork belly instead. I opted for the rice noodles and those were cooked perfectly along with the sunny side up egg and some lettuce on the bottom. 2) Fish Siu Mai(4/10) and Satay Fish Ball(7/10) Combo- Wanted to give their HK street foods a try. The fish siu mai was disappointing as it was mushy and didn't have any bounce to them. The soy sauce that came with the siu mai was light and not sweet. The Satay Fish Ball was very good though; chewy and bouncy fish balls with a nutty and savory satay sauce! 3) HK Nai Cha/Milk Tea(6.5/10) - Just a ordinary HK milk tea; smooth and milky. You can taste the tea come through every so slightly in this milk tea, but my preference is a stronger tea taste. I'm assuming they use the Lipton Yellow Label(Ceylon) tea bags for this since I saw a big box behind the counter. You can also choose your sweetness for this drink at the kiosk. Overall, the foods I try were okay and the prices for the dishes were reasonable in the Bay Area. I would definitely come back to give their other dishes a try, especially their french toast and pasta which seems to be hit with others. read more

I love the vibes here. You can grab some food and get some work done while enjoying the great view outside. I don't know why some of the reviews are saying the service was slow because it was the opposite for me. I tried the shaking fries, matcha strawberry, and the cheesy corn pasta. The fries itself were ok, a bit starchy for a frozen fry so it wasn't my favorite. The cheesy pasta was my favorite. It was creamy and tasty. The matcha strawberry was made with coconut milk (as many of their drinks are) and I have to say I am not too big of a fan. It overpowered most of the drink and couldn't get any matcha or strawberry. There's also lots of parking as most of the stores surrounding it are not vacant. I would love to come back to try more items. read more

Ordered Mango Sunrise and the Hong Kong Milk tea. The Hong Kong milk tea smells pretty good, the flavor was smooth and the sweetness was just right. The balance of tea and milk was lacking a bit. The mango sunrise was decent, not too sweet, but pretty mid. Service was a bit slow, I have only ordered two drinks and I waited for around 15 minutes. It was a nice cozy cafe shop. I would come back to try their food, I was tempted but I got food already. read more

When I saw that Cafe Kazka was a fusion HK cafe, I was sooo excited. We really are missing more HK style casual spots around the Peninsula since ABC shut down during covid. I think we came with a rush so the tables were a little messy at first, but the employee cleaned it quickly upon seeing a line form at the kiosk. The prices were a little higher than I expected, but that isn't a shock in the bay anymore. I had a drink here, the Lemon Ribena which was good. It tasted like a sparkling water more than a soda, which I thought was refreshing. I also ordered the fish shui mai because that is my favorite snack in Hong Kong. The texture was good and the sweet soy sauce was perfect, but I'd love some hot mustard too if possible along with the chili oil. Beef satay instant noodles is also a favorite of mine whenever I visit HK, but it was quite disappointing here unfortunately I really wanted to like it, but it was a little under average for me taste-wise. It lacked a lot of flavor. That umaminess that comes from satay was not there and it fell flat because of that. The meat in it was average as well. My friend got the fried shrimp and it was really really salty, so I'd recommend seasoning the raw shrimp or the batter, maybe not both. Or cut the salt on both a little bit. I would try this place again, but might only get snack items instead of a full meal. read more

Food/Drink 5/5 Love the tom yum pasta here! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce coated the spaghetti well with it not being too watery or dry. I like that the pasta sauce wasn't too sour and they give a generous portion of the shrimp. One thing they could've done better was the presentation of the dish (see picture), not a big deal though. Service 4.5/5 It could take a bit long for your food to come out, but as least the food tasted good so it was worth the wait. There was one party ahead of us and the pasta took about 20 minutes but the waitress apologized when she brought the food out. Ambiance 5/5 Located right by the foster city canal, it's a beautiful cafe with a variety of food and drinks. Not suitable for large parties but you could always get it to go and eat it by the canal! read more
