Their portions are huge compared to other places. We got my favorite porridge and a Singaporean rice noodle and a beef tendons and brisket over rice noodle rolls. Don't forget to order that fried donut which accompanies any porridge..... If you spend more than 68, they give a half soy sauce chicken for free, but for us two, it was way too much already.

We ordered 4 dishes for 99$ which also comes with an additional soup and two items bbq. Also, dessert was complimentary. The value is amazing, and all the dishes were extremely tasty. The braised tofu in pot was rich and comforting, and the texture of the fish was firm but still tender. The teriyaki beef was tasty and the string beans weren't overcooked and soft. The whole fried fish was also great, and the walnut prawns were tasty and not over breaded. The soup and the bbq items were also good, and portions on every dish were great. Ambiance wise, don't expect much as this is a down to earth spot/cantonese cafe/diner. However, service is timely and friendly, considering this isn't a fine dining establishment. We also often get take-out from Hing-Lung, and the food is nice and fresh. Overall, highly recommend this spot, especially if you are in the SFO area.

Perfectly made. The noodle soup is lighter than I expected - I would try the rice next time. The server was super nice though and gave us some extra soup to take home since noodles soak up soup! The beef chow fun had perfect wok hay and the noodles were perfectly cooked with a light chewiness to it. The fish porridge hit the spot. Smooth fish, lightly seasoned and perfect thickness. Best of all, the price was so reasonable! The dishes average 14.99 here. Will definitely be back.

As one of my family's longtime, go-to spots along The Peninsula, it was equally surprising and sad…read morewhen we heard that Fat Wong's Kitchen had closed. Even though it had been a while since our last visit, we always found the food to be pretty consistent and reliable. So, after seeing that Garden Kitchen had taken their place, we had to come here to see how this place compares! Looking around inside, it's hard to tell that anything about this place has changed. Their configuration is largely the same, offering plenty of tables inside, for groups large or small, and the menu, while different, is still pretty interesting. While not a HK cafe, it has a cafe sort of feel to it. Along with a slate of appetizers, they also have congee, noodle soups, chow fun/chow mein, fried rice, rice plates, noodle soups, and specialty entrees, including hainan chicken, which seems to be their most popular dish. In addition, they also have some Chinese BBQ options, like Char Siu and Roast Duck, but, tragically, we didn't see roast pork listed. -- ROAST DUCK (QUARTER) I was cautiously optimistic for this one and, thankfully, it turned out great. The pieces we got were rather meaty and the skin on this was really flavorful and neither too soft nor dried out. -- HOUSE SPECIAL HAINAN CHICKEN (QUARTER) Not as amazing as we had hoped for, but still pretty solid. The pieces we got were a bit lean and the skin wasn't the greatest, but the chicken itself was cooked well and I liked the peanuts that this came with. -- SALT & PEPPER FISH FILET Although this wasn't as good as others I've had, this wasn't bad. On the plus side, the batter was crispy, the fish was moist, and there was a fair amount of garlic and peppers. On the other, the inside of the batter was really gummy. -- THREE COMBO MEAT STIR-FRIED RICE NOODLES Sadly, I just wasn't a fan of this at all. Although this had a decent mix of stuff in it, the noodles themselves were torn apart, overcooked, and just kind of tasteless. Pass. -- BEEF CHOW FUN Pretty standard, but still pretty good! The noodles had a nice bite to them and, surprisingly, the slices of beef weren't as tough as I feared they would be. Plus, the dish wasn't very oily either. -- DRY FRIED STRING BEANS WITH MINCED MEAT Nothing special, but still pretty solid. The string beans were cooked well and they didn't skimp on the meat. However, I wish they had used some XO sauce in this to add a stronger punch of flavors. -- BEEF BRISKET & TURNIP RICE PLATE Along with the Roast Duck, this was my other favorite dish here. The brisket was super tender and I really liked how the sauce had a nice beefiness and richness to it. -- BRAISED FISH FILET WITH TOFU & BLACK MUSHROOMS This didn't look all that impressive, but it was actually pretty good. The tofu and mushrooms were both great, but, like the salt & pepper fish, the batter felt a little gummy. -- TOMATO BEEF PAN FRIED NOODLES I didn't eat much of this one, so I can't say much about it. However, based on what I had, this was fine. The noodles were crispy, the portion was decent, and the beef wasn't chewy. -- SOY SAUCE CHOW MEIN For better or worse, this was kind of generic. There wasn't anything about this that stood out, but at least the noodles weren't overcooked nor was it salty/heavy on soy sauce. -- POTSTICKERS Ehh...this was fine. The filling wasn't too shabby and I liked how soft the skins were. However, I wish these had a harder and deeper crust on the bottom to give it that crunch. -- PORK & SHRIMP WONTON NOODLE SOUP Honestly, this had the potential to be so much better. Despite how this came with a fair amount of wontons that were all pretty plump, the broth was surprisingly bland and diluted. Beyond the food, service here is unremarkable, but not necessarily in a negative sense. Rather, there's nothing amazing about it, but all of the workers are still friendly enough and efficient while the kitchen gets orders out relatively quick, which is all you can really ask for. All in all, while a couple of our dishes were definitely pretty tasty, just as many underwhelmed while the rest were just okay. Combine that with how there usually isn't a line and how parking is super easy (they have a small lot, too) and Garden Kitchen is still a terrific option for a quick and convenient meal. Though, one that isn't quite as tasty as Fat Wong's used to be. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.

It is SO yummy! 3 Beef Short Ribs with Fried Egg Rice I tried one piece from my friend. The beef is so juicy and yummy! You get a big plate of rice and a drink for one person. Next time, I will order this for myself! 4 Satay Beef Fried Macaroni My friend ordered this. It smells so good! I tried one spoon and--Wow! The satay taste is so rich, but it is not too salty. It is just perfect! 5 Baked Spaghetti with Meat Sauce I love pasta! I took one bite and said, "Oh my god!" The tomato taste is so strong. Every bite has a lot of meat sauce, and the noodles are so bouncy. It is very good! No wonder this restaurant is open for more than 18 years!

Quickly offered…read morethe menu and it had lots of Hong Kong cafe options including dishes typically only available in the morning. Order Scrambled Egg with Shrimp Chow Fun and a milk tea. Food arrived quickly. The milk tea was deep bold in black tea flavor balanced with creaminess of the condensed milk. Sweetness was just right for me and I don't typically add sugar to my teas or coffee. The Chow Fun was a large order but since I had a very light breakfast. I devoured the entire dish. The noodles were tender, and slightly chewy. The shrimps were plump and the egg gravy was smooth, velvety, glossy, and slightly thick enough to coat the noodles. The dish was flavorful yet some how light. The staff isn't too friendly but they are efficient. They did not rush us to leave even after we long finished our food and was just chatting away. Although a bit on the expensive side, I would definitely come back.

The wife wasn't feeling well so in order to heal the soul, porridge is the way to go…read more I was recommended this place by a former colleague who mentioned their porridge was great. I don't eat porridge often, usually when really under the weather so I'm fortunate to not gone to get some in a while. I called my pickup order since I didn't see an online option. The store front is Ichi Ramen so it's confusing in case you get lost in the busy plaza. I ordered shrimp, fish and plain porridge (congee) along with beef chow fun. 4 dishes total. Total came out to under $60 and it was a heavy bag! The porridge has a nice thick consistency without being runny. It had flavor to not need seasoning and surprisingly large portions of seafood. The chow fun was decent but I've definitely tasted better. Kinda pricy at $18 though the beef slices were big. I appreciated it wasn't as oily as other chow fun I've had so easy to eat without feeling kinda gross after. Solid value, good food, and worth a rec for porridge. All in all, I'd definitely return. 4.5 stars.
