    Excellent dishes!! Tasty n delicious!! Ordering Pan Fried crispy noodles with green pepper, onions, black pepper sauce with marinated beef!! And also Hungarian style marinated beef with carrots m rice!! Yummy, marinated deeply and so delicious again!! This's the items Chinese cafe serving inexpensive dishes, and very economy pricing to go out dining nowadays!! EAT Bistro is always busy especially lunchtime, and they serve a big enough portions!!

    Great value and taste. Reminds me of the old value you would get at HK cafes (larger portions and unlimited drink). The other places in the area don't quite give as much food and are about the same price. I love the soy noodles that typically comes with rice porriage, I asked for a custom one since I didn't want rice porriage and they granted it (lucky me). Looking to come back again for their pork chops and chicken since they give two in their portions! (This is a thing of the past)

    Macaroni with Ham and Chicken Chow Mein

    Solid HK cafe! This is my second time here, and first time for their breakfast. I ordered their 123 breakfast and got pork chop, toast with eggs, and macaroni soup with ham. My husband got the chicken chow mein, and everything tasted alright. The food comes with a drink and we both ordered hot HK milk tea. The portions are pretty big. I expected one pork chop, but I got 2. They were pretty sizable. The flavor was savory and umami. It was also pretty tender which I appreciate. I got my eggs scrambled and it was okay, it wasn't really seasoned. It also didn't taste like real egg? That was the only kicker in our meal. The toasts were pretty standard and it came with grape jelly. There was also a slice of orange lol. I'd say it's a nice touch. As for the macaroni, kinda disappointing because it's nothing special. It tastes as expected. I might try something else next time. The chow mein tasted pretty good. It's basically the dark soys sauce chow mein with chicken. There is mung bean sprouts and green onion in it. The ingredients are pretty simple, but they cooked it well. It had the wok smokiness that I like. Atmosphere was great. It was the weekend so a lot of families were out hanging out together. There was a little bit of a wait. I think I waited 20 some min, but they give you a beeper which I prefer over a call or text. Service was aight, as coming to a place like this, it's more about the food if you know what I mean. Would come back!

    They have a new afternoon tea menu for 3-5 pm daily. We ordered Thai Style Stir Fry Seafood Udon and Egg White Seafood Fried Rice. It came with complimentary Chinese soup and creamed corn soup. Everything tasted yummy. Good and fast service. It got busy pretty quick, especially when it was closer to 5 pm. Lots of patrons didn't want to miss out on this afternoon tea deal.

    Came here with my mom the day before Mother's Day and had such a fantastic time! Sergio took care of us and was amazing, super quick and really friendly. I come here pretty often and the food never disappoints. My favorites are the seafood udon with XO sauce, wonton noodle soup, steak with eggs, and the preserved egg & pork congee. Honestly, it's great any time of day. Breakfast comes with different sides depending on what you order, and even a free hot drink; cold drink is $1 extra. For lunch and dinner, drinks are only $1.99 with refills, plus they give you soup on the house, which is such a nice touch. Not many places go the extra mile like this. They clearly know how to keep customers happy with those little details. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to and telling people to go try!!

    EAT Bistro is a solid Hong Kong style cafe on this side of the SGV. Their menu is so extensive. Each restaurant has their own style. The last time I ordered honey garlic pork chops here, they came out like big ribs. I could barely get meat because it was mostly fat. Also it took like 25 minutes to come out, so I had finished the other dishes already. I had to take the pork chops home. Baked bolognese is solid here. It comes with garlic bread. The restaurant is clean, unlike some other HK cafes. Also James Wang is not on their placemats. Service is a bit slow, but the servers speak English.

    Location & Parking This is honestly one of the better Hong Kong-style cafés in the SGV. It's located inside "The Square" plaza at Garvey Ave & San Gabriel Blvd -- a super busy plaza with tons of shops and eateries, so you already know it's popular. Because of that, parking can be a little challenging during peak hours. If you come during breakfast or weekend brunch time, be prepared to circle a few laps before finding a spot. Breakfast & Food Quality Their breakfast menu is surprisingly extensive -- definitely more options than most cha chaan tengs around the area. Not only is there variety, but the overall taste and quality are noticeably better than many other HK cafés nearby. The food comes out fairly quickly despite how busy they usually are, and portions are satisfying. ‍ Service & Atmosphere Service here is good and attentive. Staff check on you regularly and keep things moving efficiently, which is necessary because the place is almost always packed. The only downside: it gets loud. With the constant crowd and table turnover, don't expect a quiet brunch spot -- this is more of a classic lively Hong Kong café vibe. Overall If you want a dependable cha chaan teng breakfast in SGV with solid food quality and lots of choices, this is definitely one of the safer picks. Just plan around parking and noise, and you'll have a good experience. Would I come back? Yes -- especially for breakfast.

    I needed some food late Friday night in Rosemead and stumbled across this Hong Kong-style restaurant. Prices were reasonable and the food was pretty decent overall. Service was a bit slow, I had to flag down staff each time I needed something, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. Indonesian Fried Rice with Fried Chicken - Pretty good but nothing too special. The portion was large, though, which helped. Overall, it felt average. (3.5/5) Combination Mixed Grill - For $26 and including steak, chicken, pork, and sausage, this felt like a great deal. Everything tasted good and the plate was packed. I'd definitely order this again. (4.5/5) Overall, the food was solid and the quantity for the price was absolutely worth it. We basically walked away with close to two meals for about $40. Parking: Large parking lot available, though I've seen it get busy in the mornings.

    Baked Pork Chop in Tomato Sauce or Cream Sauce

    Sadly not my favorite HK cafe experience. The borscht soup was really sweet. Same with the baked pork chop. Nice aspect about the baked pork chop that there was only one small bone. But again, way too sweet. Wonton noodles were fine,...mediocre. Service was surprisingly slow. Had to ask for the check and to go boxes at least three times. Took forever to order. The baked pork chop came out first, and I was done with eating 1/2-2/3 of the meal before the wonton noodles came out.... Ambiance is standard/ fine. Kind of uncomfortable chairs. Very atypical for a Hong Kong cafe. I've heard this experience was not normal from prior experience so I'm hoping it was an off day. Or maybe things have changed...

    TL;DR: Food is ok for HK style cafe dining. Service is slow and needs customer-centered polish. Kitchen management of timing and prep is awful. We came here for lunch and they were transitioning from the breakfast menu to the regular menu. The regular menu had a lot of things so we didn't need breakfast sandwiches, or soups. Sat down at 12:10pm after 20 minute wait. The person who cleaned the table let it really wet. Like a lot of water wet that I had to use our napkins to dry it and it was still wet. The table Kiki at wasn't ready. As we were waiting for the waiter, we watched the same person clean the table next to us. He uses a spray bottle that has a light blue liquid so maybe diluted windex? He proceeded to spray it all over the table so we can feel it spray on us and it was obvious it was spraying people in the next table too. All other good restaurants have staff spray the liquid into the towel and then wipe the table. That's just bad management. We ordered soup noodles, chicken and pork chop combo, club sandwich and sizzling udon. The soup noodles came first then we waited. After about 7-10 minutes the club sandwich came. A full 15 minutes later the chicken pork chop combo came. So we are looking at around 25 minutes to get the third item. At 25 minutes after we ordered we asked the waiter to check on the sizzling udon. He came back a few minutes later and said they made the wrong dish, do we still want it? Do we want a dish we didn't order? Does that sound reasonable? No thanks we want what we ordered. The sizzling udon came finally came 50 minutes after we ordered. This is really bad kitchen management. Good doesn't come out for everyone at the same time. As it seems it can be 20-40 minutes difference between ordering and receiving your food. Food was ok just like any other HK style cafe. But the service and wait for the food is just bad. Would not recommend this place.

    This is a local main stay for HK Cantonese breakfast combo specials! My family loves coming here for their breakfast items. The service here is ok because it's a typical Chinese type of restaurant. The ambiance and decor needs some updating but overall nothing special about it. This truly is what I would call an authentic no frills HK Cantonese cuisine kitchen. Their most popular dishes include their various types of congee paired with soy sauce pan fried egg noodles, steamed rice rolls or chinese donut. The special breakfast combo also includes a drink of choice between coffee, milk tea, black tea or my go to fav half tea half coffee "ying yang"! For the great value price of $13 - 15, tasty and fresh ingredients this spot is unbeatable in all of the SGV!

    I was recommended this place for baked pork chop rice and that is exactly what I ordered, along with a lemon iced tea. I went on a sunday night around 8pm so it wasn't too packed. They gave me a free tomato soup which had a lot of veggies inside. I havent had one of these since before COVID from any HK style cafe's so this was a plus. The baked pork chop rice was good but not what I was looking for. The sauce was more peppery than tomato tasting. The ratio of pork to fried rice was good but still missing carrots, mushrooms, and pineapple. I did like the baked pork chop being more flavorful than most places though. Added with a not so sweet lemon iced tea, I'd say it was better than I expected Overall, the food was above average but in the end still not what I was looking for. I have been on the hunt for a traditional HK style baked pork chop rice and still have yet to find one.

    Possibly one of the worst Hong Kong cafe spots I've been to unfortunately. I had really high expectations since I heard many good things about this place but too bad it wasn't that great! Parking was ok but can be challenging since the cafe is inside a plaza and the parking is shared with other businesses and a Chinese supermarket Menu was ok and wasn't too expensive. They have breakfast and lunch specials Service was very disappointing. I realize it was busy but not only did they never check to see how my table was doing but it took a long time to even get the staff's attention so I could pay. Inside was pretty small and not much seating available. Breakfast specials are served daily 8:00am-11:30am There is an option of ~10 different porridges, an option of one side (5 side options), and either coffee or tea (+$1 for cold drinks). Pricing is $12-$13 for the breakfast combos Preserved Egg with Pork Porridge was so disappointing. The consistency was so thick that I felt like I was having oatmeal. There was hardly any pork or egg inside. It want too flavorful and it was possibly one of the worst porridges I've ever had. This was 3/10 The rice noodle with mixed sauce (side) was decent. The rice noodles were pretty soft, and fresh. The hoisin sauce and sesame sauce was very good. This was 8/10 Got another side of soy sauce chow mein ($4.95) and it was pretty flavorful. It was well seasoned and not too oily. This was 7/10 I most likely won't recommend or return unfortunately but I'm glad I tried it out so I know not to go there again

Claypot rice was perfect with crispy rice and combination of bok choi and spare ribs with a side of dark soy for your preference. Deep fried chicken wings with salted egg yolk had the perfect crunch fried shell with salted egg yolk basted on top. The chicken was super juicy and tender which encapsulated by the fried skin. The kaya toast was super fluffy with a French toast thickness sandwiched with kaya jam in between. The curry with fish ball and cuttlefish combination came with 4 of each and a thick rich curry with a kick of spice that went great with white rice. The pumpkin salted egg yolk had the perfect sweet and savory flavor that made you want to eat more. The steam flower roll w/beef was nothing short of amazing. I have to say this was the best version of steam flower rolls I have ever had. The flower rolls just melted in your mouth with super rich flavor coming from the sauce which was not overpowering the dish. The Hk style milk tea & and coffee was simply amazing with the perfect amount of tea flavor without being overpowered by the coffee and condensed milk. Overall Tam's surpassed my expectations and I cant wait to come back and try more dishes.

However, when the server started handing out numbers, they skipped us and gave a number to the people who arrived after us. We asked why we were skipped, and the server told us that the group behind us had four people while we only had two. The server specifically told us that it was okay because we would still be seated before them. Later, the group of four unexpectedly left. Instead of moving us forward, the restaurant gave their number to another party. That party was originally two people, but they were then allowed to change the number of people in their party and ended up being seated before us. We reminded the same server about what they had told us earlier -- that we would still be seated first. The response was basically, "There's nothing I can do. I only go by the numbers." That was extremely frustrating and confusing. If the restaurant only follows the numbers, then why were we skipped in the first place? And if the staff member told us we would still be seated first, why was that explanation completely ignored later? We were the first ones there and simply expected the waiting system to be fair and consistent. We weren't asking for special treatment -- we just wanted the same rules to apply to everyone. Unfortunately, the way this was handled left us feeling that the waiting system was unfair and that the staff did not take responsibility for what they had told us.

Great portion for sharing, however you may not want to share and just keep it all for yourself. -Salted fish and garlic chicken fried rice, rice was fragrant with the delicate saltiness from the dry aged salted fish. The dish is a combination of fine bits and pieces of fish, chicken and notable amount of ginger. I'm usually not a fan of ginger but I actually liked it for this dish, brought a comfortable level of sharpness to it. But if you really hate ginger, you might want to avoid as they're really fine pieces and would be impossible to avoid. -Sliced beef with Chinese broccoli, beef was tender and full of the wok flame flavor, vegetables were fresh and crunchy, no notes. Ambiance 5/5 -Restaurant was super quiet, I really liked how calm it was in there. Mostly comfortable booths around the perimeter and tables were all separated by clear dividers. My favorite was the bathroom's decor, it felt like an early 90s metal/futuristic ocean theme.

    I've been wanting to try this place for quite a while, and we finally made it there for dinner…read more Someone had recommended coming for lunch, but unfortunately we didn't make it for lunch. Let's start with the lobster. They have about 45 different ways you can have it prepared. We went with the traditional style without the noodles. We just couldn't justify paying another $20 for noodles, and honestly, I don't think we missed much. The lobster had plenty of flavor, but compared with other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I expected. Considering we paid around $180-$200 for the lobster alone, that was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Vietnamese-style fish with black pepper. The fish was good, but again, not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. We wanted to try the pea shoots, but they told us they were seasonal, so we ordered the garlic string beans instead. They were good and nicely garlicky, but nothing that made me say, "Wow!" The standout for me was the French-style filet mignon. It was cooked almost medium-rare, with lots of onions, and the flavor was really good. That dish came closest to earning five stars for me, although the portion was smaller than I expected. Our total bill was around $380, so for that price, I was expecting something much more exceptional. Service was fine. They changed our plates and took care of the little details, and luckily it wasn't very busy when we went. I've seen pictures of lines out the door, so I honestly don't know if we caught it on an off night or what the hype is about. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it wonderful or better than the other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried? Unfortunately, no. I'm glad we finally tried it because I had been curious for a long time, but would I come back? Most likely not. For all the hype and the price, I was expecting a lot more. I'm giving it 3 stars--good food, but not the amazing experience I was expecting from one of the top-rated lobster spots in the San Gabriel Valley. Parking is good.

    First of all Super Fly TNT full stop. HK Dim Sum is one of those tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss-it!…read moreThe cafe is tucked away amongst the cult-food hood of the San Gabriel Valley. If you know, you know. Forget standing in a line long enough to finish 8 Mile waiting for the "real" dim sum experience-this spot is too busy quietly running circles around the competition. Little Kanupe and I started the morning absolutely hangry (one of my baby soldiers) after striking out at another place (we'll leave them unnamed to protect the innocent). One quick Yelp audible later and we landed at HK Dim Sum. Best comeback since B-Rabbit dropped the mic. The first thing you'll notice is the size of the hand cared for master pieces. Run here for a quick FIFA break, but dont think you're ordering "a little something." Every bite delivers. The chow mein was memorable, so memorable with that wok hay kiss on every noodle just right. Smoky, savory, and ridiculously addictive. Every dish hit with that same "one more bite" energy, and somehow everything showed up almost before we finished ordering. No carts, no gimmicks, no unnecessary fanfare, just legit dim sum crazy great flavor. HK Dim Sum earned a rock-solid five stars. Din Tai Fung is King in most circles, but this place is the Daenerys Dragon Queen dominator. I'm so happy to be part of this sharing of secrets. BTW get the Shumai, chowmein and har gow as starters. Explore the menu. I'm comin back soon and i'm near TJ lol.
