There was about 10 minute wait during a busy weekend lunch hour. My date and I waited patiently and was thrilled when they swapped our previous table to a booth table. Win! Table service was quick. The server guys kept coming by asking what we wanted to order. We placed an order for a Chicken and Vegetable Pan Fried noodle dish and a Broccoli Beef dish. Both were amazingly fresh and good. Would love to come back because their menu is calling on me. Parking is a large lot, so shouldn't be any issue.

I have been on a food adventure to redeem all 4 stamps for the Hong Kong Cafe (HKC) Freedom…read morePassport. Spend $20 or more and get one stamp from each location. They have 4 locations. HKC in Rowland Heights was my 4th location. It's located in one of the six Puente Hills East blocks. Free parking was plentiful. Interior had good comfortable open space. Good number of seating. Had the Hong Kong vibe with very cool decor. Love the red and green colors! I came here with my Mom. We did take-out. Gentleman staff was super nice, friendly, and patient. Thank you Sir! I wanted the Seafood Hot Pot, but they didn't have it. Found out every HKC doesn't serve all the same food items. Skimmed through the entire menu and finally saw a few items that I would enjoy. My take-out order: 1 Braised Egg Tofu with Dried Scallops & Enoki Mushrooms - I indeed enjoyed this dish deliciously. It was so good that I wanted to drink every drop of the sweet and savory gravy. Must get every time. YUM! 1 Shrimp Wonton Egg Noodles in Soup - wontons were good size, pork and shrimp filling was tasty, noodles were al dente, veggies were tender, well done! 1 Red Bean Shaved Ice with Chocolate Ice Cream - my Mom got this one, she enjoyed it! 1 Red Bean Shaved Ice with Vanilla Ice Cream - I got this one, I enjoyed it, HKC Alhambra makes a better version of it though... their red beans are sweeter and softer. Yes, I got stamp #4. Yay! Yes, I'll be back for more of the Braised Egg Tofu dish plus to try their other specialty dishes. You know it! Yes, I'll be redeeming their half chicken at this location in the very near future. I'm on my way! Thanks HKC!

Food is that pretty good. Comfort style Hong Kong Cafe food for sure. They offer everything you…read morecan think of if you crave this style of food. I ordered my favorite Shrimp and Egg on Rice, and it was really yummy. I don't like my food salty, and this was my style. Some might think it needs more salt, but it was just right for me. Beef chow fun (thick rice noodle) was better than I expected. Super tender beef, also seasoned nicely. Both dishes I would reorder again. Now the drinks.. we ordered drinks (iced coffee and lemon honey tea). While we were dining, the next table to us got a refill for their drink, So I asked the server if I could get a refill, no problem, got my refill. Once we were ready to leave and about to pay the bill, I asked the male server if I could get a refill on the tea. This server charged us for this refill. The female server was on break. So be cautious on when to ask for refills on these drinks... could be charged or it could be free. Not sure. The vibe is pretty fun and hectic, like an Asian diner vibe to the place. One star down because of the confusing drink refill charge thing. Yes I asked and the male server said there's no free refill. But I saw people get it, and I also got my first drink refilled free (wasn't on the bill).

Went to Happy Harbor around 11:30am on a Sunday and it was definitely busy, but the wait honestly…read morewasn't bad at all. We waited just a few minutes before we got seated. We were placed in the back room, which felt a little more calm compared to the main dining area. Service was good. Our waiter was fast, friendly, and really on top of things, which made a big difference since it was packed. Ordering is simple, they give you a paper menu where you mark what you want and hand it back. We ordered tea for two and picked a bunch of dim sum: jumbo shrimp har gow, shrimp fried wontons, steamed rice noodle roll with shrimp, baked abalone sauce BBQ pork bun, poached Chinese broccoli, and custard egg tarts. Everything came out fresh and hit the spot. The har gow were plump and juicy, the rice noodle rolls were soft and silky, and the BBQ pork buns had that perfect slightly sweet, fluffy texture. The egg tarts were a great finish--warm and flaky. We did end up only getting 5 out of the 6 items we ordered, but honestly we were already pretty full at that point so I didn't feel like making it a big deal. Also... we were so hungry we totally forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food Overall, a good dim sum spot, however I felt like the prices were a bit higher than the other dim some places I usually go to. Busy but efficient, good food, and friendly service. I'd would come back again!

We received number 85, yet we waited from 12:18 PM until 1:13PM to be seated…read more I can understand that you may prioritize smaller parties of two to four people, and I can accept skipping a few tables when there are legitimate reasons. However, having elderly guests in their 70s and approaching 80 standing for nearly an hour is completely unacceptable. What is even more unacceptable is that people who arrived after us were allowed to walk in and were seated almost immediately, while we continued to wait despite having already received our number. If this is how your waiting system works, then there is clearly a serious problem with how the seating is being managed We also tried to discuss the situation with the staff member, but the staff member's attitude was extremely rude, arrogant, and dismissive. The tone used toward us was completely inappropriate. We were not asking for special treatment--we were simply asking for a fair and reasonable explanation. Especially when dealing with customers who are in their 70s and approaching 80, shouldn't there be at least some patience, basic courtesy, and respect? Expecting elderly guests to stand for nearly an hour and then speaking to them in such a harsh and dismissive manner is simply unacceptable. I strongly suggest that your restaurant have someone experienced in managing seating arrangements and handling large crowds. I understand that today is a busy day, but this is a restaurant that has been operating for many years. A busy day should not be an excuse for poor organization or disrespectful treatment of customers. The way this situation was handled was unacceptable. I hope management will seriously review both your seating procedures and the way your staff communicate with customers, especially elderly guests who have already been waiting for an extended period of time.

Overall, the food was excellent, even my Asian parents, who can be pretty critical when it comes to Chinese food, gave most dishes high marks. The crispy noodles had great texture, the West Lake beef soup was comforting and flavorful, and the eggplant portions were generous. The service was what I'd describe as classic Chinese restaurant service. The waitress came across as a little rushed and occasionally seemed slightly annoyed, but she was still attentive and accommodated everything we asked for without any issues. Our food came out at a reasonable pace, and we never felt forgotten or had to chase anyone down. The atmosphere had its own unique charm. The restaurant was playing early-2000s hip-hop while a Chinese gangster drama played on the TV, which made for an unexpectedly entertaining backdrop. The restroom was also clean, which is always appreciated. My only real criticism is the sweet and sour pork. The batter itself was crispy and well executed, but too many of the pieces were mostly breading wrapped around bone with very little meat. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. Even with that one miss, everything else was strong enough that we left very satisfied.

The beef chow mein was good-- while it was lacking some wok hay, the noodles were fried to perfection. Flavor was lacking as well. The beef brisket was tender and the flavor was there but it was slightly tangy/sour-- on the border of doing bad? I've never had this dish taste sour. The typhoon ribs were filled with fried garlic and the ribs came out hot and crispy! I recommend this dish if you like salt and pepper shrimp/chicken-- this is a fun alrernative Service was better than the avg Chinese restaurant. We were 1/3 parties so I'm not sure if it changes when it gets busy. There's plenty of parking.

The food was for sure a standout! We were a large party and order a lot of items and also ordered from the set menu.

I feel this place is the place to go if you have a large dining party, because the set menu will have something that everyone can enjoy. Overall, I liked it a lot and will definitely be back.

Craving for a lobster dish so this was the place !!…read moreExcellent service with a smile!! Not busy on 4th of July !!

Whole Garlic clove didn't taste fresh that were prepared with the Chinese Broccoli dish!! The Pepper & Salty Pork Chops were not cooked the way I had envisioned or used to !! They were fried without a light batter to keep meat moist!!! But surely will comeback for another round of the HOUSE LOBSTER SPECIAL!!

Once you have collected all 4 stamps, you may redeem the free food offer. Hong Kong Cafe in Walnut is my 3rd location. They are located within the Walnut Hills Village that is right across the street from Mt. San Antonio College. Free parking is available. This place is bigger than Hong Kong Cafe - Garvey, but smaller than Hong Kong Cafe - Atlantic. I haven't visited their Rowland Heights location yet. I'll see where that one fits. I originally called to order, but I didn't have their menu in front of me plus I was driving. I decided to come here to order instead. Great inside space with limited outside seating. Very cute decor with the Hong Kong theme. Good vibes all around. Menu has a vast selection of food and drink items. Prices are very reasonable. Entire staff was super friendly and cordial. Got a few dishes, a dessert, and a couple drinks. Wait time wasn't too bad. Spent over $70. Got my 3rd stamp. Thanks! 1 Beef Chow Fun with Supreme Soy Sauce - great wok taste, must get! 1 Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup - sweet shrimp wonton, very good! 1 Sizzling Cauliflower Pot - tons of Taishan cauliflower, great portions! 1 HK Style Egg Waffle - light and crispy, but they broke it into pieces! 1 Red Bean Shaved Ice with chocolate ice cream - divinely delicious! 1 Red Bean Shaved Ice with vanilla ice cream - super sweet treat!

I drove a Sienna minivan and my car went over the parking line, luckily the lot was fairly empty so I didn't feel so bad about taking up the extra space. They offer typical Cantonese style breakfasts. It's a self serve operation here. You order via app, kiosk or through a person and you find a seat and wait for your number to be called. Then you just pick up your tray when your food is ready, and bring it back to your table. When you're done eating, bring your tray to the to the counter for them to clean up. I loved the various food statues located throughout the restaurant, they are so cute and make for great photo ops! My girlfriends and I got essentially the same breakfast combos with the exception of different porridge ingredients. I opted for breakfast combo #3, which included porridge, rice roll, and a drink (I got hot ying yang tea). Iced drinks are $1 extra. The food here is tasty and best of all is reasonably priced! I love that they have porridge toppings that you can put on. The roasted peanuts were so so good! If I could say anything negative about this place it would be their regular menu needs reformatting. Honestly their regular menu was really confusing to understand. I thought maybe it was just me, but my friend also expressed her frustration with trying to understand the menu. Luckily the employee came by and showed us the breakfast special menu, which was exactly what we were wanting to order and so much easier to understand. I definitely want to bring my family here to try more of the menu as I know they will enjoy it as much as I did!

I wanted to try Chan Kee in Monrovia but they closed down before I got the chance to. My friend who's had CK before said they've changed their menu and it was now pretty overwhelming. We ordered a congee with a side of saucy rice noodle rolls and a wonton beef stew noodle soup to share. You basically order the base (congee or noodle) then add the options for an extra charge. Each entree/side/drink combo came about to nearly $20. The rice noodles and wonton noodles were pretty good. They give alot of congee but taste was just okay. Decor was cute. Food didn't take too long to come out considering there was only one person working and it was also a random Monday afternoon. Overall, just okay and I feel like I could get tastier food for better prices in the mpk/sg/alhambra area.
