    Yummy roast duck and soy chicken vermicelli!!
    Connie K.

    Very authentic Cantonese cafe! "Chacanting" !! Recommend for the "Sumei" Hong Kong Style BBQ roast duck

    Erica F.

    Came by because I was craving for Hong Kong style cafe food. This is a hidden gem in the area. There is a small parking lot available. This is a small cafe, and it is very clean. Service was fast. We ordered half roast duck, beef chow fun, Hong Kong style "yin yeung," and iced orange tea. Food was amazing. The beef chow fun was a little bland, but it became flavorful after we added a bit of soy sauce. Price was reasonable. Will come by and try other dishes next time.

    Singapore Style Vermicelli
    Karena S.

    I was on Yelp searching the area to find a place to eat and stumbled upon Hao Cafe. This restaurant is a little hole in the wall that serves Hong Kong cafe foods. I grew up eating this type of food and this restaurant definitely hit the spot for me. Parking was a little difficult to find since it's a strip mall next to Target with other booming businesses next door. I ordered online and brought it back home for takeout. I went on Yelp and noticed that they have a website where you can order take-out. They direct you to a third-party website that doesn't charge any service fees which is nice. I ordered the Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli & Spam and Egg Fried Instant Noodle. The total was about $39! Food: Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli (9/10): This one does require an acquired taste for curry. It's a vermicelli and vegetable dish that is fried in curry. This reminded me so much of my childhood and had the perfect amount of saltiness and flavor. Spam and Egg Fried Instant Noodle (7/10): This dish is exactly as it's named. The instant noodle is fried down with some soy sauce. The spam had a nice char to it and the eggs were scrambled within the dish. I thought this one was just okay, I do wish there was a bit more flavor. Overall, I'm really happy I found this restaurant! I definitely will be coming back and trying more dishes!

    Combo chow mein
    Lee D.

    Very small Cantonese restaurant with a large menu. There are approx 8 small tables so I would not recommend for large group. They have everything you would expect from pineapple buns, porridge, crispy chow mein, char sui, roasted duck and more. Everything tasted good and my only complaints were that the greens were overcooked and that rice does not come with any of the entrees for dinner service. Food came out fast and service was adequate. Accepts Amex, limited parking, but there are adjacent lots.

    Recently moved to Duarte and Hao Cafe is truly heaven's sent. I grew up surrounded by HK cafes so the list of ones I've been to is probably too many pages long, so when I passed by Hao Cafe tucked away in a corner in a small plaza, I was hesitant to try. "Would the Lemon Iced Tea be good?", " Are they a fake HK cafe?"...so many doubts within me to ever want to try.... Until last night, I read all the positive reviews and took my chances - I am SO glad I did because Hao Cafe is definitely a 11/10! Everyone on the reviews raved about how delicious the Beef Chow Fun & the Roasted Duck is, so those I knew I had to try - both a 11/10 - both were AMAZING! Ordered their Curry Fish Ball (8/10) and Fried Chicken Wings (10/10) - balls were chewy and wings were crispy - I LOVED IT! Same goes for their Lemon Iced Tea. Service was great! They knew every customers who walked in. The restaurant was packed and their phone was ringing off the hook with pick up orders. I will definitely be coming back very soon! Highly recommend Hao Cafe!!!!!

    Hao Cafe is the reason I love Duarte so much! My family and I have been going to Hao Cafe almost every week since it opened its doors. This restaurant has truly become a weekly ritual, and a great place to bring anyone. You can't beat the quality of food or the affordable prices here. I've enjoyed lots of meals dining in, or taking out to enjoy at home, and one thing is always true - I am always so full and happy after eating here. They are a family-run cafe, and there is no doubt that everyone is a big fan of them because it's always packed out the door. I've gotten to try a variety of dishes here and they offer just about anything here that can cater to anyone's taste. They have amazing roast duck and BBQ pork to fried rice, vermicelli, porridge, soup, curry, chicken wings, sandwiches, etc...and they are all delicious. I have yet to try every dish here because there is just so much variety. As a true HK cafe, they make top-notch HK Lemon Tea and HK Style Milk Tea and Coffee. I've also enjoyed their Crushed Ice w/ Red Bean, Lychee, Logan, Grass Jelly...I just can't go wrong ordering anything here. Every friend I have brought here always love their craft drinks, big portions, hot food, and quick service. A big kudos to the chefs and servers. Yes, the cafe is a little cozy, but who doesn't love that when their service is so friendly, and you can snuggle a little closer to your family or friends. There is parking in the front on Huntington, or you can go to the back or use street parking on Bradbury. Trust me, any wait time will the worth the wait and you'll leave feeling so full, cozy, and want to plan another visit here again soon. Thank you to the wonderful staff here for taking care of my group every time I visit. I'll see you very soon, and often!

    Lunch Special Curry Chicken...so good!
    Melinda L.

    Hao Cafe is such a gem in the neighborhood of Duarte and I happen to be nearby in the area and was craving something delicious for lunch. Lo and behold, I arrived at this cafe and there was already a few groups waiting outside to get a table. The cafe is really small inside - looked like maybe about 7-10 smaller tables. But it's definitely a bustling cafe! I went to the register to place a to-go order and the lady with the glasses was very efficient and nice. I ordered their Curry Chicken Lunch Special, which came with the full-size entree and about a bowl-size of rice. Their Lunch Specials range from $12.95-$14.95 before tax. My Curry Chicken was $13.95 and with tax came to about $15 and some change. The tax rate in Duarte is one of the higher ones at about 10.5%, so add that to whatever you do plan to order here. But it was still worth it because I gotta tell ya...the Curry Chicken was just GOOD! Like REAL GOOD! Now let me say this: HK/Cantonese Curry uses a different kind of curry and is sweeter and lighter than other curries. It really has a distinct flavor that's a real home-style favorite for me. The chicken is also bite-sized, a common protein cut in Cantonese dishes. Will be returning here again when I am craving some delicious HK Style dishes!

    We came around noon and they were packed inside a pretty small storefront. The wait time was about 15 minutes. Staff was quick in seating us, taking our order, and bringing the food out. They have a gender neutral bathroom in the back. We got the L51 Two Items with Flat Rice Noodle ($14.95), choosing their well known roasted duck and wontons. This was a good portion with lots of noodles. Duck was flavorful and tender, about 6 pieces. Then we got the L52 Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli ($14.95) which was a big portion for the price. It was savory with the curry with some shrimp and charsiu. Definitely will return for their lunch specials again! Very reasonable price for the portions.

    Roast duck with rice (lunch)

    I've been hearing about their roast duck and decided to give it a try. We came at around 3pm on a weekend and surprisingly it's super hard to find a parking. There are couple of other restaurants, and some parking are marked at 30min only. And this strip mall is very small with limited parking (plus basically no side street parking at all as you can't park on Huntington and they are in between sonic and McDonald) They were definitely not packed at this hour. We ordered the Singapore style fried rice noodle and the roast duck with rice (all from lunch menu). The rice noodle tasted authentic but very salty. Definitely the saltinest rice noodle that I ever ate in the HK style cafe. It will probably be great for people that like very strong taste. But I finish the whole cup of ice water because of this noodle. And the roast duck is alright but feel not salty enough. (Or our tastebud got mess up by the rice noodle). But definitely missing the sauce that usually pour generously on those roast duck rice. Just a side note, a LOT of servers, but none of them attentive at all. They will just talk to customer that they know. And basically give you a blank look if you are not one of those "known" one. Never asked if we need more water or refill. They simply walk by. Another thing to note, very LIMITED table. Total about 7 tables that seated 4 each. It will be tough for large group.

    I went to Hao Cafe with my family because we were craving good Chinese food. The restaurant isn't very big, so coming with a big party might be a problem. Service was good since all of our food came out within 5-10 minutes. We ordered mapo tofu, green beans, orange chicken, stir fried broccoli, braised tofu, char siu pork, spam and egg stir fried noodles, and fish with black bean sauce. Everything was delicious, but my kids love their braised tofu best! Also, if you ever need party trays, they have it. A must order for parties are the chicken wings. It was a hit at the party. Prices are reasonable and portions are good. This is a hidden gem so don't forget to check it out.

    Amazing. I can only imagine that dining in would've been even better. Very clean tasting, not too oily, flavors just right. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

    Roast duck and rice (good)
    Joann K.

    I was visiting city of hope and was looking for a place to eat on yelp, found this little gem. They were open for breakfast so decided to stop by. They have alot of stuff on the menu, from western breakfast to Chinese food, roast duck and the price is pretty reasonable. We ordered the duck and rice plate $15, eggplant $12 i think, Hot and sour soup $9 and a whole roast duck $39. Everything was really delicious. Would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    Love how this restaurant is decorated. Totally has the HK/Macau feel. Each table has either mahjong…read moretiles or dominoes under the glass surface. The street signs of HK are on the wall. We had the breakfast combos- congee plus two sides. I chose the you tiao (fried donut) and bo lo bao (pineapple bun). My friend got the chow mein instead of the pineapple bun. All of the dishes were yummy! We had enough to bring leftovers home. We arrived at 8:30am on a weekday and had plenty of seats to choose from. At about 10am, the restaurant was packed with people waiting in line to get seated. Strip mall parking.

Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to get a late dinner on a Saturday night. We walked in around 8:45 pm and were acknowledged by an employee after waiting for maybe 5 minutes asking if we would like a table. But the strange thing was that I had told the the employee who acknowledged me that I wanted a table for 2, he didn't sit us. He looked like he was trying to clean the table but then just walked away... but luckily another employee saw us and asked how many for a table. But anyway, after looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: A11: Fish Siu Mai with Rice Roll, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered this dish, which was plenty for one person (this dish is found under the appetizer section of the menu). I actually really love rice noodles and also fish siu mai so this was a great combination for me. And the peanut and soy sauce mixture poured all over reminds me of when I had freshly made rice noodle in Hong Kong many years ago. But my husband would prefer the rice noodle not to have any of the sauce (or on the side so he can maybe just dip it if he wanted to). I think this dish could use less of the peanut soy sauce mixture too but I still overall really liked this dish. D9: Grilled Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, $16.99 prior to tax- This dish comes with your choice of either steamed white rice or noodle. My husband decided to have rice. He thought the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. He also really liked the black pepper sauce that he picked to go with the pork chop (I know you can also pick a mushroom sauce but I don't recall if there was a 3rd sauce you can choose from or not). Portion wise, this is more than enough for one person since you are getting 2 pork chops. This is actually one of my mom's favorite dishes to order when she goes to any Hong Kong style cafes too. ----------------------------------- (Total= $34.23 after tax, prior to tip) Service was minimal. I spoke both Cantonese and English (well actually my husband spoke English and I spoke in Cantonese. I am just trying to make myself speak Cantonese more) so you shouldn't really have a problem ordering here. I really like the food and I am glad this place does open late. And it was pretty busy as time progressed while we were here. We also saw a few large groups come in and the staff moving quickly to put tables together to accommodate these big groups. Overall, we had a positive dining experience and would come back.

This Temple City location seemed to have turned over a few times over the years before AK took over. There is a lot in the back that is almost identical to Shaw Mei's/Kang Kang Food Court just down the street. Both lots are inadequate for the popularity of the businesses they serve and parking can be challenging. If you enter from the back lot, restrooms are to the right as you enter AK. The menu has some familiar items and some unique ones. We specifically came to try their sandwich made on a pineapple bun or Bolo Bao. There were a few choices of meat including chicken and beef. We got the Satay Beef or Sha Cha Niu Rou. It came with a fried egg and tomato. The sandwich was very good and enough for a meal. They also had "thick" sandwiches with several choices of meat. We got the fried fish. It was something like what a Filet O Fish at McDonalds aspires to be because AK is a far superior version. The fish portion was generous, crispy, and a much higher quality than Micky D's. There was some sort of coleslaw sauce instead of Micky D's tartar sauce and AK's coleslaw sauce had a unique and very good flavor. The sandwich was also big enough for a meal. We also got their curry fish ball dish because it is a favorite of ours. Unlike most other places that only give you either boiled or fried fish balls, AK gave you both. It did not come with rice, so we asked for some and our server was shocked, but gave it to us without complaining. The space the restaurant sits in is quite big. It was moderately to somewhat crowded and noisy on our visit. While the main lady who helped us was friendly and fairly efficient, some of the other servers and customers gave us the typical dirty looks because we are a mixed couple. Four stars for quality of food, but one star deduction for obviously being prejudice. Overall, we would come back here because the food was good, but recommend you come with a Chinese speaker to order like we have in the family or the service is likely to be worse.

The bigger issue came when the chicken cutlet finally arrived. While my fiancé was cutting into the chicken, he found a **whole screw in the food**. We're generally very passive at restaurants and don't like making a fuss, but this was completely unacceptable. We called the waiter over, and while she apologized, the response felt very dismissive and there was no real acknowledgment of the seriousness of what had happened or any effort to accommodate us. She eventually asked whether we wanted to cancel the order or have another one made. We chose to have it remade, and although the replacement came out later, there was still very little acknowledgment of the incident. Overall, we were extremely disappointed. Mistakes can happen, but finding a screw in your food is a serious issue, and we expected much more attentive service and concern from the staff afterward. Unfortunately, the entire experience felt more focused on getting customers in and out than providing a quality dining experience. We left feeling very disappointed and would not return.

    Arcadia Garden Cafe is a longtime neighborhood favorite serving classic Hong Kong-style café fare…read morein a lively, bustling atmosphere. The extensive menu features everything from baked rice and pasta dishes to traditional specialties, with options to satisfy nearly every craving. Service was exactly what you'd expect from a typical Cantonese restaurant--straightforward and no-frills, without much emphasis on attentiveness or warmth. Orders can take a little longer to arrive, particularly during busy hours, so expect a bit of a wait. **Baked Bolognese with Garlic Bread: 5/5** This is, without question, the best baked bolognese I've had from any Hong Kong-style café. Served bubbling hot beneath a generous layer of browned, melted cheese, it developed an irresistible toasted, savory crust that elevated every bite. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente, providing just the right amount of bite, while the rich, hearty Bolognese sauce coated each strand beautifully. Accompanied by crisp, buttery garlic bread and an impressively generous portion, this comforting classic easily stands out as the restaurant's signature dish. Despite its unremarkable service, Arcadia Garden Cafe shines where it matters most--the food. If you're willing to overlook the slower pace, it's easy to see why the restaurant has remained a local staple for so many years.

It was 6 of us and we get seated at the large round table in the middle of the restaurant. The menu is HUGE but me, my sister, and my uncle will usually order the grilled chicken and pork dish. My aunt usually gets a noodle dish such as the beef chow fun this time. My son got a meat sauce pasta with fries. We also got Thai tea which is refillable. My dad unfortunately didn't know what to get but he ultimately decided on the hainan chicken. The waiter confirmed 3 of the same dishes and we confirmed. The food came but mine didn't and it seemed the waiter only put in 2 orders. Therefore, I had to wait but my uncle shared half his pork and chicken with me because it was a lot for him. Good thing they didn't put on my order because i wanted pasta and not rice and my sister and uncle asked for rice, so good thing i got mine after with mushroom sauce (black pepper sauce is surprisingly too spicy for me). I love the mixed vegetables, but sure what makes it good since it's just bland zucchini, peas, green beans, carrots, and corn. But goes so well with the dish. The mash potatoes were also good...I loved everything tbh... My sister and I each got a refill on our drink and I felt a weird aura from the start so u didn't ask for another. We had so much leftover since I ate most of my uncles dish and he barely ate but I'm so happy they still had great portions.

    An affordable and delicious Cantonese breakfast for less than $25 is unheard of in this day and…read moreage. And it's here at Mr. Champion. My fiancé and I surprised ourselves with this meal to be honest, and decided we have to come back to Mr. Champion more. We ordered 2 Lemon Iced Teas, because well, you just gotta when you are having Cantonese breakfast. This or a hot milk tea. To eat, their Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls (comes with 4 rolls) and a Pork & Preserved Egg Porridge. The Pork & Preserved Egg Porridge was just right - the right amount of rice and liquid, without the rice totally falling apart. It also had the perfect amount of pork and preserved egg that me and my fiancé weren't fighting over who gets more of what haha! Ok now, the only thing missing for me in the porridge was pickled veggies. Yes, I could've ordered pickled veggies, but I saw they were charging $2.30 for it for some reason. Is a side of pickled veggies really cost $2.30? Would this have made my porridge more enjoyable if I had it? Yes, because I am used to adding zha cai in my porridge so why not just add the pickled veggies to the price of the porridge and give the customer the option to add it or not on the side? *crying face* I understand I know just went on a tangent about pickled veggies, but I hope a reader can understand my dilemma haha! A great part of my day was to have enjoyed their Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls. They come with 4 per order, so if you are in a group of 2, it's perfect to share and enjoy 2 rolls per person. Their noodle rolls are probably the best I've had in the states. They are perfectly plump, tender, and slightly chewy. A little translucent, very delicate. They are what I imagine if I was having a dream of eating noodle rolls. So yes, if you visit here, definitely get their noodle rolls. They helped me with my dilemma about the pickled veggies with my porridge a lot haha! Their service was quick and efficient. We were seated in a minute and finished our meal in under 30 minutes. It's the perfect place for a quick breakfast that is affordable, delicious, and totally worth your wallet. I'll definitely see Mr. Champion soon!

    For me this is a solid go-to, affordable comfort food spot…read more Their main focus is on the braised beef dish with 2 veggies over noodle. On the weekend, it could be very busy. But when I can there was no wait. The surface area of the tables were also lacking, could barely fit all the good food we ordered. Definitely need some origami skills to fit everything.
