Love how this restaurant is decorated. Totally has the HK/Macau feel. Each table has either mahjong tiles 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. read more

Terrible service!!! Very disappointing experience with the waiting system and staff. We arrived in the morning and were the first people in line at the entrance. 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. read more

HK Macau Bistro - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Gabriel, California

HK Macau Bistro is located in a small strip mall off of Las Tunas Drive, with a small parking lot shared by other businesses (Cathy's Bakery, Chong Qing and Four Sea Restaurant). 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. read more

I ordered the HK-style pineapple bun, beef stew curry, and a cold HK milk tea. The pineapple bun is a slightly sweet, soft bread served warm with butter which adds a little bit of savory flavor. The beef in the curry stew was soooo tender and the curry was perfectly flavored; it also comes with rice. The milk tea was not too sweet and very good; it also has free refills! Everything I had today is a must-try, but I would love to try more of the menu in the future. Everything was delicious and definitely authentic. The servers and host were really friendly and the inside was casual and comfortable. I would definitely come here again! read more

I visited during the late afternoon and although it was not busy, they accidentally only handed us the special afternoon menu which consisted of maybe 15 items total. I am not sure why my party and I failed to question this hahah. Anyway, we ordered the: - Beef Chow Fun: Very solid, not the best or the worst. Not too oily, yet had great flavor to it. I would recommend this! - Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings: I would highly advise against ordering this (view photo attached). It seemed like they coated the chicken wing in 10 layers of batter and did not fry it enough. Why are my chicken wings WHITE. Also, TOO SALTY. Eating straight MSG. - Butter Toast: Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very classic dish and cannot go wrong. All these dishes came with one free drink as well, could choose between HK milk tea, lemon tea, Chinese tea, etc. all with unlimited refills. The restaurant is so well decorated and very reminiscent of Hong Kong/ Macau. I loved all the details such as the mahjong tables and dominos underneath the glass. The service is also very reminiscent of HK, as in it is essentially non existent. Although the restaurant was not busy, we still had to constantly wave over the waiters. I like how consistent they are with the theme. read more

On my first attempt to try HK Macau Bistro I went around 10am, the parking lot and street parking nearby was full, and I saw a large crowd waiting at the entrance. I was too hungry to wait but I decided to come back nice and early. At my 8:30am visit I was able to be selective in their parking lot and no wait to be seated. Yay! I love the interior décor. The table had dominos underneath the glass, the dishes and utensils had lucky auspicious affirmations. I'm all for the positive vibes this early in the morning. Staff are incredibly quick and efficient. They are really on top of it. I think they really have to be in order to meet the demand of the busy crowd. I was excited for the breakfast specials since I love breakfast foods. I can eat it all day! The breakfast combos come with your choice of drink. Cold drinks are an extra $1. After looking at some photos on Yelp and some helpful Q&A with my waitress, I decided on their Breakfast Combo D. Porkchop & Egg Pineapple Bun with Dried Scallop Congee ($13.99) and I opted for the Iced Lemon Tea ($1 cold drink upgrade). What a deal!! I also added a side order of the Fried Dough Stick ($3.50) or also known as the crueler or Chinese donut since I like to have it with my congee. It wasn't needed from a portion perspective but I just like it. The food came out quickly, the congee first and then the fried dough stick and porkchop & egg pineapple bun. What a feast! The ladies at the lady next to me were so excited at my spread they asked me what I got. They thought I was really pro but it was actually just my first visit. Inside the pineapple bun there was a fried egg, porkchop, tomato, lettuce, and sauce. It was a huge sandwich. This is one of the bigger pineapple buns I see and it was well stuffed. The amount of food I ordered was enough to feed 2 people. The congee was really subtle. I didn't get the fried scallop that is in the name... I would just perceive it as a plain congee. The fried dough stick was oily and didn't taste too fresh. I probably won't order it next time. Nevertheless a still overall fabulous meal. My tea was refilled before I had the chance to ask. When I asked for the check, they knew to bring me togo containers without me having to ask too. Very smart service! I had a great meal here and I will definitely come back if I wake up early enough to come at opening. read more

Whenever I visit the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) from the SBBC (South Bay Beach Cities), which is about a 45-60 minute drive each way, so a culinary commute that resembles a bit of destination dining as an inconvenient trek... I do like to try new places. This is a good spot overall and I liked the food here overall. The wait for a table took a short bit but that might be a testimony to their quality and popularity for the demand to dine in. It's Cantonese Comfort Food. read more

I was visiting the area and my friend recommended this place for dinner. We came around 7pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. By the time we started eating, it was beginning to pack up inside. The ambiance was chill and the service was pretty standard for an Asian restaurant. Servers don't check in unless you call them over, nothing over the top. I ordered the baked chicken over tomato sauce and cheese. It was amazing, I'm still thinking about it days later! The tomato sauce was super flavorful without being crazy strong or tomato-forward. The cheese was baked perfectly on top, leaving a nice crispy texture but still chewy and stringy at the same time. I would definitely come back! read more

HK Macau Bistro - Baked chicken over tomato sauce and cheese - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Came here the other night around 10pm and it was still pretty packed. This is a great spot for a late night meal since they stay open until 2am. I'm a big fan of Cantonese cafe style food, so this place was right up my alley. One of my favorite dishes was the house steamed chicken. The chicken came out super tender and the ginger scallion sauce was absolutely bomb. We also ordered the braised tofu with pork which was really good, but definitely something you'll want to eat with rice. The bitter melon with beef was tasty too, a little on the salty side, but perfect when paired with rice. The salt and pepper chicken wings were another highlight. They were huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. Overall, this meal really hit the spot. Good food, generous portions, and one of the better late night options in the area. I'll definitely be back. read more

my favorite hk bistro! All 3 things we got were so yummy and I keep coming back! The baked bolognese pork rice is my #1 and my main reason to come back to here. The flavor is just right and perfectly sweet! But I tried the ovaltine french toast and the pineapple buns for the first time and they were both delectable. The toast was moist and sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet and so fluffy at the same time. Pineapple buns were warm, salty sweet with a crunchy shell! I will always keep coming back here. Totally recommend. And the price is unbeatable. The service is alright, but as you would expect in an authentic asian restaurant, they don't do too much but will always be on top of it if you ask. The decor and interior of the restaurant makes you feel like you're in macau, very detailed decorations and everything is on theme! read more

One of my absolute favorite dishes to get at Hong Kong cafes is baked tomato rice, and we got it with chicken this time... omg it was amazing. The sauce was rich, slightly tangy, and baked perfectly into the rice. I swear I only come here just for the baked tomato rice and getting chicken was a nice surprise because I usually would get it with the pork chops. SO GOOOOOD. The braised tofu with mushrooms and broccoli was also really solid. It's comforting and really well seasoned. Brick toast was really good too. Crispy on the outside, soft and buttery inside, exactly how it should be!!! The only thing was the pear chicken soup that was a whopping $12.99 for a smalllll bowl. It tasted delicious but the price was not worth it for how small the portion size was I really love this spot so much. Every time I come here, the quality is consistent and the customer service is so fast!! read more

Stopped by for their breakfast specials and we were not disappointed. Portions were generous and food was delicious and flavorful. My steak though thin, was cooked perfectly.

Portions are great here. The flavors are on point. Nothing to complain about for Hong Kong Style food! There is always a wait for a table it seems. I always fo takeout, so it doesn't bother me. They've updated their takeout menu, which looks a lot cleaner and easier to navigate. My go-to order is Singapore Rice Vermicelli ($16.99), HK Macau Curry Beef Brisket ($18.99), Beef Chow Fun ($16.99), Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice ($16.99), and Water Spinach and Chili Fermented Tofu ($16.99) when it's in season. Parking continues to be very limited here since it's such a small parking lot. People often double park when picking up food. read more

This is actually my second time here and I love it!! Really takes me back to cafes in Macau and Hong Kong :) Love the bright lights, decor, & designs of the table (dominos and mahjong tiles!) Got the French toast with peanut butter, an absolute classic but I wish there was condensed milk (my own preference, nothing wrong without it) I also got the club sandwich (not pictured) but it's also a classic that they did not mess up. The bread was so soft, buttery, and perfectly toasted! The chicken in there was also cooked to perfection. Last time, I got the pineapple porch chop bun The staff was also really efficient (expected nothing less). read more

(Tookout 02/14/26 SA @ 5:30pm): This bistro brought you the taste of Macau to the San Gabriel Valley! It was a long day touring potential investment properties throughout the San Gabriel Valley when I drove by HK Macau Bistro on my way home. Traffic stuck out from the parking lot onto the street, and I noticed a long line of people waiting outside, so I figured this had to be a good place to grab some takeout grub. I enjoyed Chinese food although it wasn't among my top choices when it came to Asian cuisine. But, after nearly an entire day in mostly Chinese communities with Chinese realtors, Chinese food for dinner seemed appropriate. Would it be a gamble to try this Macau bistro during this particular night!? PURCHASE(S) 10pc Curry Fish Balls ($10.99): The idea of fish balls always cracked me up, and yet I loved ordering them! Honestly, I couldn't tell you whether or not there was any actual fish or seafood (maybe imitation?) in these chewy squishy orbs, but the curry had a nice spiciness to it. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=QxpHjyagnt8LH5u96j4oUA Steamed Rice (INCLUDED): Fluffy, light and a decent portion size, it did the job as all rice should be included with any ordered dish or entree in my honest opinion. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=PuBbM_UfHhVrT6JbagsEIA Chinese Broccoli w/Chicken ($16.99): A good portion size and mix of fresh Chinese broccoli and bite-size succulent chicken pieces all glazed in a sesame seed soy sauce, this was hot and steaming, but slightly on the oily side, and I wished there were more leafy broccoli bits than stalks. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=bw9BMRdjQ4TdowyLyrrt4g Malacca Seafood Fried Vermicelli ($16.99): A seemingly bottomless large portion size with a bountiful amount of seafood of all kinds as if they completely emptied the ocean, from eel, haddock, octopus, scallops, shrimp, and certainly more! The vermicelli wasn't as fried as I expected (which was a good thing), and the general flavoring was a bit weak, but the amount of supple seafood more than made up for these deficiencies. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=dsH23wMlwABttIma_JkOuA SERVICE After I made my way through the crowd, I was greeted by a young host who handed me a menu, and after about fifteen minutes, I tracked him down to place my order. In all of the hustle and bustle, I ultimately waited for about 15 minutes before everything came out all securely packaged. Everything went well - thank you! PARKING (FREE): Located in an outdoor strip mall, I luckily found a spot on the street. Otherwise, they shared a sizable lot with a few other businesses, and there appeared to be ample spaces along the main drag of Las Tunas Dr. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A boxy main dining area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=V2xnz1CsWPkmkIaYxUythw (there may have been more rooms in the back) packed with chairs/tables, some kitschy neon lights artwork on the walls that added some character, and an interesting bus motif and street alley feel. A decent amount of natural lighting came in through the front doors and surrounding windows while electric recessed ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=1ycdvR_i8vCZ1ZzpZtp2yw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Based on the crowds I saw when I first arrived, I safely made it out of HK Macau Bistro with a hefty bag of good food (it just needed more flavoring) that lasted me for a few days at reasonable prices, straightforward service, and possibly an interesting time if I decided to dine-in at least once. The menu had tons of options so you were able to find something for everyone. And, whenever possible I liked to support small local mom-&-pop-like businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $50.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, although they accepted credit cards, not mine of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Having been here twice, the service is pretty good, considering how the staff is very attentive with getting you seated, ordered, bringing the food out, and making sure you have everything you need. The price is very fair, considering the portion size. I was shocked at how colonized Hong Kong food is? What do you mean stick and eggs? This was a great history. Lesson for me. I don't know what I ordered the first time, but it was OK, but the second time, I ordered the Hainan chicken rice, and I actually like it quite a lot. It is a bit too yellow for my liking, but it's still tasted good. The ambience in here can get pretty loud, but what do you expect? It is a sitdown, fast food. read more

Came for lunch on a Saturday and waited less than 5 mins to get seated. It's a big restaurant but can feel quite tight when it's busy and packed with people. Service is average. The decor is cool with signs and pictures reminding us of HK. The menu is extensive and the portions are huge. Definitely had leftovers. The toast was crispy and tasty. My beef chow fun that I requested with gravy sauce was decent. Note: All credit card transactions require a $25 minimum purchase. read more

Open super late (2am) and perfect for a midnight or late dinner. Super cozy Hong Kong decor inside that reminds me of when I visited over the summer. A huge variety of traditional food with pictures. Chicken steak with noodles: (8/10) Generous portion with a delicious garlic dipping sauce and neutral spaghetti. two large chicken thighs perfectly seared with a side of veggies. The corn isn't the freshest. It taste like a poor quality canned corn but I can't complain since it was great value. Service was quick and I would definitely come again. read more

Service is good. I was asking my tables if they wanted extra bowls to share and the server overheard, brought it over without me asking. However note that this is still a Chinese establishment. They are used to fast paced so good is for Chinese standards not the 5 star michelin standard. Food came out fast. It's good pricing and huge portions. It is on the greasier side but still very tasty. I started digging in already before I remember to take a picture so it doesn't show full size of food but it still looked full size in pictures read more

Was looking for some late night food in the area and this came up. Parking was difficult at around 930/10PM on a Wednesday. I ended up finding street parking. I did call ahead, so I just picked up the food. There was a line waiting to be seated and the inside dining area was absolutely packed. The salt and pepper combination with wings and calamari is really good. This is one of those things you should eat right away to get the crisp. The beef chow fun had a lot of flavor with the beef and the noodles it self. The hainan chicken was not my thing. The rice was dry. Had to dump some of the ginger sauce to add a little flavor. I'm guessing this is a good late night spot with most food establishments in the area closing at 9PM. read more

Breakfast special is a bit weaker than the other Hong Kong cafes in the area. Bolo bao has good crust but the actual bread past lacks fluffiness and flavor. Chicken steak is average but could be more thicker. Milk tea is strong and good. Decor is very cute but the service is slow and takes a long time for food to come out. As a HK girl I think there are better other HK cafes in the area but this one is a good pick if you're also looking for the Macau flare. read more

Tasty and quick HK style cafe with some great specialties, HK Macau Bistro doesn't have as large a menu as other places but is still worth a stop. The tomato egg and beef macaroni was popular here and it is a lot tastier with more flavor than the name would describe. The pineapple bun sandwich with chicken was also good but a 50/50 must have on account of how messy it is. The plate comes with plastic gloves and it is very messy. There is a lot of sauce and the grilled chicken piece is slippery but also tasty. read more

Went to HK Macau Bistro for afternoon tea today. It is served daily from 3-5pm with a selected number of items on the menu for $13.99. You can order from their main menu as well for regular price. Drinks will be an additional $1.50 if you order the teas or coffee. Today I ordered the tomato beef and egg macaroni, baked pork chop rice and ovaltine french toast. All of them came out steaming hot. The macaroni was al dente and flavorful from the tomato sauce. The tomatoes were soft but did not disintegrate. The beef was tender and plentiful. The baked pork chop rice had a good amount of sauce and cheese. The pork was super soft as well but wish it had more meat than bones. The french toast had a lot of ovaltine on top and wasn't too sweet. It soaked up the condense milk and was super yummy. They have a lot of Hong Kong decor around the store. The tables had mahjong tiles displayed which added to the vibes. This place does get pretty packed but tea time is an odd hour so it's usually pretty bearable. read more

The food is okay. Price wise, it's more on the expensive side when it comes to HK cafe food. It's less flavorful than other Hong Kong food I've had and I'm guessing it might be because they don't use enough or any MSG. We got the fried squid, tomato baked pork chop, curry, braised tofu and pork and a pineapple bun. Out of everything, I enjoyed the squid the most for the texture. It was nicely chewy and the batter added that nice crispy touch. I didn't really enjoy the curry because of how large the tomato chunks were. The pork chop was decent. I liked how it wasn't overly cheesy and it had a good amount of tomato flavor, but unfortunately it was more rice than pork chop which was already cut up into chunks. Not really eager to go back because the service was rather poor. The waiters were not very attentive and it took a while for simple things like getting waters refilled. read more

*** $25 minimum to use credit cards *** HK Macau Bistro is a Hong Kong style cafe with a part of menu that actually specializes in Macau cuisine. The cafe currently has 2 locations (San Gabriel and Rowland Heights) and a sister restaurant (Tam's Noodle House located just a block away). [Parking]: There's a small parking lot, but the lot was somewhat packed on Sunday at 6 PM. I got lucky as a car was about to leave. [Atmosphere]: Nostalgic interior decors with Hong Kong bus route signs and neon signs. Some tables even have mahjong design using actual tiles. [Menu]: Some of popular dishes per Yelp highlights are Pineapple Bun (C1 - C4 = different variations), French Toast (C11 - C16 = different variations), Hainan Chicken (D1), and Chicken Steak (D9). They also have baked rice & pasta, curry, various house special stir fry dishes, vegetable & tofu, congee, clay pot dishes, dry noodles / noodle soups, fried rice dishes, and drinks like Hong Kong Milk Tea. Free refills on lemon tea (iced or hot). The server actually came and asked whether our table would like a refill. *** T11 Minced Beef with Egg over Rice ($16.99): Apparently this is a Macau style fried rice. It was an interesting dish as it contained diced potato pieces. Flavor was good. S1 Beef Chow Fun ($16.99): Beef was tender and the flavor was on the spot. *** Overall I like food at HK Macau Bistro better than Hong Kong Cafe in Atlantic Times Square. A solid 4-star on food, but bump up on surprisingly good service. read more

HK Macau Bistro is located on the corner of Las Tunas and San Gabriel Blvd. Along with a long list of Hong Kong cafe items they serve Chinese breakfast. Our friend arrived early to get a table. We ordered the following items all in combination with a pineapple bun and fried egg. Spicy minced pork vermicelli Beef satay noodles Pork chop noodles Hong Kong Milk Tea. All dishes were $13. The noodles come out super fast along with the pineapple buns and butter. Besides the pork chop being a bit dry all were delicious. The hot out of the oven pineapple buns were excellent.

Came to HK Macau Bistro because I was craving cha Chaan teng food. I really enjoyed the aesthetics of the Hong Kong Style cafe.

I ended up ordering the pineapple bun, green beans with pickled fish cake, and the soy sauce chow mein. Everything came out so delicious and I would definitely come back!

HK Macau Bistro is a Hong Kong-style cafe (cha chaan teng) offering mashups of Cantonese and western cooking - with a Macanese spin (salt cod, Portuguese chicken rice). You can have anything from a steak, pork chop pineapple bun, baked rice dish, or French toast. The walls have neon lights and signs repping neighborhoods from HK and Macau. The tables are covered in mahjong tiles and dominoes. (You'll need cash for anything under $25.) BBQ Pork Egg Rice Bowl: This is a simple dish with decent charsiu. Tear into the two sunny side up eggs drizzled with sweet soy sauce for a comforting bite of rice. The Chinese broccoli adds nice crunch. Curry Ox Tongue: The curry plate is huge and so is the rice plate, enough where you question if you can finish everything. But then you try the large yet thin filets, which are incredibly tender and an ideal vehicle for delivering the curry flavor. The golden curry is delicious with its savory and sweet blend of coconut milk, curry spices, and a touch of Chinese spices. At first, I carefully drizzled the creamy curry onto the rice. In no time, all of the rice was in the curry. There are also nice chewy roasted potato chunks. HK Milk Tea: The condensed milk sweetened tea has a decent amount of tea flavor and it could do with a bit more. Parking: There's a large parking lot in front that wraps around the side. read more

The waitress forgot my pineapple bun egg chicken cutlet sandwich after I've waited for 30 minutes The good thing is the kitchen is very quick so they recovered and got my order in This place is really busy and luckily around noon we got a table for two. I don't recommend this place if you have a large group or more than four people because the weight is incredibly long for those parties. The food was amazing but I realize they snuck a huge piece of butter in my pineapple bun sandwich, which I didn't expect. Not diet friendly. I like how they had options for vegetables. This place atmosphere is fast paced family friendly parking is difficult though so it can be kind of stressful for kids. I don't recommend bringing kids. I see a lot of young adult adults here.

They have breakfast special from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and the combos are amazing deal you could eat here every single day for a month and won't eat the same thing dinner and lunch they don't have any specials but their prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants and their sizes definitely portion is very generous they have good decorations reminding you of Hong Kong and the service is well this is that Cantonese restaurant if you know what I mean but the food tastes amazing all the tables are decorated with much on tiles even the blades remind you that you're playing a modjon game this area could be very busy parking is terrible as you would expect and during busy times even though it's busy people go through pretty quickly and remember I stay and milk tea hot or cold refillable for dining read more

The food was overall good but average. The macaroni was a miss for me, had a residual fishy taste to it. The ovaltine toast was my favorite - right amount of sweetness and the bread was more on the soft side, which I prefer. The furry balls and steam rice rolls were good too. Interior is cute. Neon lights and mahjong decorated tables. The plates were a bit dirty though. Customer service is on par. This place is open until 2am so a good place to grab a bite with friends if you are out late. read more

HK Macau Bistro, with locations in San Gabriel and Rowland Heights, is a vibrant cha chaan teng (Hong Kong style cafe) that stays open late until 2 AM daily. It's a casual, high energy spot that's constantly busy, particularly during its popular late night hours and weekend breakfast. The interior is designed to evoke the nostalgic streets of Hong Kong and Macau, featuring neon signs of famous neighborhoods and walls decorated with Chinese and Portuguese street signs. Tables are uniquely topped with mahjong tiles and dominoes under glass, reinforcing the retro and quirky aesthetic. Service is typical for an authentic HK cafe, fast and efficient but often lacking the "check-in" style found in Western hospitality. The restaurant offers a unique Macanese influenced menu. Popular items include Pineapple Bun with Butter, Hainan Chicken, Macanese Curry Beef Brisket, Stir-Fried Rice Noodles, and Baked Pork Chop Rice. It's also a late night go-to spot for "guilty pleasure" meals like curry ox tongue and claypot dishes. We came for a late lunch and ordered their Baked Fish Fillet with Rice in Cream Sauce and Stir-Fried Udon with Beef in Black Pepper Sauce. The baked fish tasted bland, its lack of cream sauce and ingredients, the fried rice underneath was dried and unflavored. The Udon tasted ok but the beef was chewy and very oily. I don't recommend neither of these two dishes. We might be back and try their popular dishes on the menu. The restaurant is located in a plaza with a share parking lot, though it can get crowded during peak weekend brunch hours. read more
