Hong Kong Café in Dublin is solid, dependable Cantonese comfort food -- not mind-blowing, but satisfying and well-priced. We ordered the egg tofu with veggies, beef brisket, ham and egg fried rice, and the chicken with Chinese sausage clay pot. The beef brisket was the clear winner -- tender, flavorful, and they give you a generous portion. No tiny rationed pieces hiding in sauce. The overall flavor profile was balanced and comforting without feeling overloaded with MSG. The egg tofu was light and nicely seasoned, and the fried rice delivered that classic Hong Kong café vibe. The clay pot had great flavor too, though I personally prefer larger pieces of chicken with less bone. Just a texture preference -- seasoning was on point. Prices are reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. You leave full without feeling like you overpaid. Ambiance is casual and simple. One drawback during the summer: there were quite a few flies while we were dining. The doors were closed, so it was a bit puzzling and definitely distracting. Overall, good flavors, good portions, good prices. I'd come back -- especially for that brisket -- just hoping the fly situation improves during warmer months. read more

My bf picked up porridge for me because I wasn't feeling the best. My usual porridge order is the pork and preserved egg, so that's what he ordered for me. There was no pork in it, but obviously chicken. It is also by far the saltiest porridge I've had and it has no other flavor. The consistency was extremely thin, felt like I was slurping salt water. The century eggs didn't have much flavor, which was surprising. Ginger slices or even green onion toppings (like pictured in the menu) would improve the porridge. I would not come back for it, I'd rather get it from 99 ranch's hot deli section. read more

I was greeted when I entered and placed my order to go. I only had to wait for 10 minutes. The restaurant itself was spacious. My food, chow fun, was hot. The fun what soft and nicely seasoned. There was a little bit of green and yellow onions in the mix. The shrimp and scallops were tender and tasted fresh. The chicken, beef and pork all tasted as if they had been cooked the day before. The pieces were tough. Not sure I will be back. read more

Been here once. The food is good. Quite authentic HK Cafe style menu. My only gripe about this restaurant is the price. While I understand the market is competitive and everything in the Bay Area is expensive nowadays but for HK style cafe food it's on the more expensive side of the price scale. I do recommend this place if you want to enjoy some HK style cafe food in Dublin. But if you do not mind driving there are other places in nearby cities which offer better prices - although you do have to drive so the extra gas cost or electric charge cost might even things out after all. read more

Our group of three went here for lunch. It's a nice, clean place, with comfortable booths to sit on. They had such a big menu with plenty of food selections. We ordered the salt and pepper fried chicken wings which were so crispy, the braised beef ribs with eggplant in clay pot, and our favorite the combination crispy fried noodles. Would love to try more of their dishes when we're out in Dublin. read more

Food is mediocre and on the salty side. Good service with lots of HK dishes to choose from but unfortunately not the best. Spacious restaurant and place picked up closer to dinner. Started with the cream of corn puff pastry. The pastry had no puff or layers to it and the cream of corn wasn't creamy. It was more of a corn egg drop soup. The preserved duck egg and pork congee had lots of meat to it but was way too salty. Server was understanding and let us swap to just plain congee. The fried mushrooms were crispy but oily. The baked pork chop rice was underwhelming. Had a pinch of cheese and wasn't broiled. Fried rice with egg on the bottom with a good ratio. Sauce wasn't very tasty and more like just canned tomato sauce. Pork chop was decent. Not much HK food options here but worth a try. Plenty of parking in this plaza. read more

太好吃喇! I have been absolutely craaaaving HK cha chaan teng food lately, and it just so happened that Hong Kong Cafe was in the area where I was going this past weekend. Boy does this place exude nostalgia for me. Growing up, I used to go to HK every year, and seeing the wall with the various MTR stops brought me back. It's super nice since I also get to practice my Canto (which needs work lately). I'm trying not to lose whatever I remember, so I've gotta practice when I can. The staff are super welcoming, and service is so fast and efficient. The menu is extensive, and you'll always be able to find a dish that suits your tastes/cravings for the day. It's a little pricier than other HK cafes I've been to, but honestly everything is in this economy, and the portion sizes justify the prices. This place was so good I literally went back a day later since I was in the area again. Both times I ordered the classic HK milk tea. I wanted it iced and in the large size, especially since both days were super long days for me. The second day, the tea was even stronger. I haven't been able to find a place that does HK milk tea like this in a hot minute, so I was very happy about it. Be warned, the tea is really strong here! The first day I wanted soup, so I went with the classic 雪茶肉絲米粉 but subbed out the mai fun with ho fun. I was very surprised when the food arrived to my table in less than 10 minutes. HK Cafe doesn't skimp with the toppings here, and the ho fun was perfectly cooked with still a good chew to it. The broth was simple, yet flavorful and comforting. I will say I wish there were more preserved vegetables, since I love them, but overall it was a great bowl of noodle soup. The second day I went with a baked dish, since that is peak HK style food. My favorite baked dish is the 白汁海鮮意粉, and this one took a lot longer to come to my table (for obvious reasons). When it finally arrived, the cheese on top was bubbling and beautifully melty. There was a good amount of seafood, and plenty of spaghetti. I had to take my time eating it because it was so hot. I also couldn't finish this dish and got the rest to go. This cha chaan teng has plenty of seating room, and is honestly a nice place to dine. Both times I was seated at a large booth. There are several tables to accommodate large groups as well. Since I went early both days, I noticed there are people waiting outside the door for them to open at 11 am. Hong Kong Cafe is definitely high on my list of spots to revisit, and if you have never had HK comfort food, this spot is the epitome of it. I'll definitely be back soon to get my HK comfort food fix. read more

Good comfort food, good service. I really love the deep fried mushrooms and the beef stew.

Was craving hot n sour soup, noodle soups, and something on the lighter side. Chinese comfort food is def my go to on a cold, rainy day (especially after having greasy food from Great Wolf Lodge - meh). We came by a little before 7 and snagged a table for 4 right before the rush. As expected, the restaurant was busy and staff were working hard, but still greeted and seated us right after clearing our table. Now that is service! Restaurant was clean and seating was comfy - we weren't all crowded into a small space with little room to pass each other. Items ordered: Wonton in hot chili oil- large delicious wontons in chili oil that provided a little kick. Seafood congee- love their consistency and that this is loaded with plenty of protein. Salt and pepper pork chops (minus spice for kids)- our kids' usual favorite Beef stew macaroni soup- delicious and perfect after a day of swimming Hot and sour soup- nice piping hot soup loaded with shrimp, tofu, fungus, and bamboo shoots Wonton noodle soup- large bowl of noodles perfectly done and flavorful wontons Large lemon iced tea (less sweet)- Love this tea! All for $111 before tip! Can't beat that! Def a steal compared to greasy food I just had. read more

Good stuff! This place is a truly authentic Hong Kong style Café. We got takeout here for a weekday lunch and it was already kind of busy right after they opened for the day. Order was called in and was ready in less than 20 minutes. We ordered some of the usuals. Pretty good portion sizes and heavy on the MSG. My lips are still tingling, lol! Dry Beef Chow Fun - exactly as you would expect it right down to the tenderized beef. This one is a crowd favorite, and you can never go wrong with it. Pretty good "wok hei" sizzle on this one. Green Veggies with Supreme Broth - this one's also very nicely done. Veggies were fresh and tender. Broth has a little bits of ham and garlic cloves in it and it is extremely flavorful. An umami bomb! We used leftover broth to cook frozen won tons and it was awesome! Dried scallop and egg white fried rice - DH really wanted to get this one. Flavors are mild, but it really stands out is the texture. It is fluffy and chewy at the same time. You will get addicted to it! Salt and pepper pork chop - this one's also really good. Breading is flavorful and crunchy. They also give you a good amount of meat. Be careful there might be little bone fragments in it. They have interesting fusion items, the "Chinese style Western Meals", which are like the reverse of Americanized Chinese food. These are weird to Americans, but popular in Hong Kong. Things like baked spaghetti in a casserole dish and pork chops. We didn't try any of these. Unfortunately we don't have an itemized receipt, but it was $83 for 4 items including tax, but before tip. Overall, a great place for a casual, MSG-licious meal! read more

Hong Kong Cafe is located in the same shopping center in Dublin as Paris Baguette and Mad For Sushi, directly across the street from 99 Ranch. My buddy The Shermanator was in town from the East Coast on 02/15/2025 and we decided to meet here for dinner. We walked in at around 5:30pm and were immediately greeted by the staff. It was already pretty busy, so we had to wait a few minutes before a table was available to us. The interior was spacious and clean. The most eye-catching decoration was the ceramic tile mural of Hong Kong MTR stations. Their menu featured a wide array of Hong Kong cafe and Cantonese fare. After a few minutes of deciding, I got the Baked Portuguese Style Beef Stew with Rice, while The Shermanator opted for the Baked Portuguese Style Chicken with Rice. Our food arrived in about 20 minutes. I was pretty impressed with my dish. The sauce was very authentic. The balance of curry and coconut milk was just right. The meat was very tender, and I loved that they gave me fried rice instead of plain rice. The Shermanator seemed to enjoy his dish as well. Service we received was excellent. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and efficient. The Shermanator was accidentally given spaghetti instead of fried rice for his dish. Once the error was noticed, they immediately worked with him on an agreeable solution. Kudos to them for making things right. For Hong Kong cafe food, the pricing was a bit on the high side. The two rice plates cost more than $50 after T/T. Great spot for some authentic Hong Kong cafe food. 4 stars. read more

Classic HK Cha Chan Teng food, wonderful, delicious and nostalgic. Hong Kong cafe hits a bunch of the buttons that makes me both nostalgic for HK, and comforted at the same time.

The French toast with peanut butter is a must if you've never tried it. Service is efficient and rapid. This place can fill up quickly on the weekend. Lots of parking. read more

Every time I eat here, I enjoy my food. This time was no different. We ordered beef stew with won ton noodle soup, minced pork with soft tofu, rice, beef porridge, and pork and preserved egg porridge. We shared everything except the porridge as I'm not a preserved egg person. I normally come on the weekend which is crowded and has a wait list. Since this is a weekday, I was immediately shown to my table while I waited for my friend to arrive. Our order was taken promptly. I like that our food is always delivered hot, the way it should be. I've been to other restaurants where the food is just warm...like it had been sitting for a while before they delivered the food to our table. The wait staff is friendly, efficient, and attentive. They always refill our water glasses without our asking. They gave us different size containers to bring our food home. It's easy to pay the bill as they bring their payment equipment to the table. The women's restroom is a single restroom and is clean. I like that there is ample parking which helps to have a stress-free lunch. I always look forward to the next time I eat here. read more

I basically got harassed the other day here at this place from the waiter. He was demanding for a tip I pay almost $100 in there and he came to me literally demanding why I'm not tipping and he said he needs to make a living the service was horrible literally they were not attentive at all. With all respect but I feel is an optional choice to give a tip mostly when you didn't like the service, if I don't feel to tip then I won't do it, is not like I'm not paying for the service already. They lost a new customer today, he embarrassed me in front of my whole family. read more

I want to start by saying that the food here is actually good. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed our experience. The staff was unaccommodating and not communicative. We came with a baby and politely asked if we could sit at a corner table where it was quieter and less crowded. Our request was denied without much consideration, and we were seated at a table that eventually became surrounded by other guests. Later, we asked if it would be possible to switch tables to a more comfortable spot for our situation, but again, the staff refused and did not offer any alternative or attempt to help. Good food alone is not enough to make up for poor service. Hospitality and basic consideration for guests--especially families with a baby--should be a priority. For this reason, I'm giving this restaurant one read more

I'm blown away with how enjoyable this spot it. Came here on a weekday and it was super busy for dinner. I didn't have any expectations for this spot but I was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful most of the dishes were. Service is quick and waitresses are really friendly. Baked pork chop rice (5/5)- pork chop was so tender and juicy and the sauce was perfectly seasoned and cheesy. Highly recommend this dish. Egg yolk fried mushrooms (5/5)- the mushrooms are juicy and crunchy coated in the most delicious egg yolk batter. Fried fish in white sauce (4/5)- fish was flaky and the white sauce was good but definitely needed something to add more depth to the flavor of the dish. Borscht soup (1/5) terrible. Was very thick and felt more like a heavy stew. Overall the dishes here are pretty good and I highly recommend this spot. read more

First off, if you're gonna come on a weekend make reservations or just come very early. This is place is super super busy on the weekends. But it's also surprisingly good. I'm amazed that Dublin has one of the better HK cafes in the East Bay. The food is superb and the menu has great variety. It was so good that I came immediately after trying it the first time. The ambiance and decor is pretty nice and modern. Most importantly, clean! But again just be prepared for this place to be very busy and kinda hard to get the attention of the staff because they're busy running around getting all these orders out read more

Classic HK cafe food. Came for brunch on a weekend morning and it was packed with Chinese families (a good sign!). Luckily we were seated right away. We shared porridge with a Chinese donut (my bf's favorite), chili oil wontons, and baked pork chop over rice. The wontons were okay and tasted strongly of sesame oil, the pork chop rice wasn't his favorite but I thought it was decent, and no complaints about the porridge! I'd try the seafood white sauce bake next time and DEFINITELY order the Hong Kong milk tea because that was my favorite thing there. Don't come too late or you'll have to wait in the line! read more

Hong Kong Cafe is located in Almond Plaza. There is plenty of shared parking here, as it is a quieter plaza. I had been here multiple times, but to go only. I usually do order ahead, so my order is ready when I get there for pick up, I usually come here for their Club Macaroni. This spot had the best in the area and it reminds me of my childhood, but the last 2 visits, this spot had been a miss. Overall, the macaroni noodles are good, but the soup is way too salty. They also skimp on the meat now and they give a very dry and way too crispy uncut piece of ham. read more

For Chinese new year, I wanted to eat something light after shopping at 99 ranch - so I went to the "cafe" after searching on Yelp. When I got here, I realized they changed their name to "restaurant" and all the food options are more like for family meal. Being that it was so late, I thought that I'll just eat something quick since I was by myself - but I saw a family order a fried fish. It looked sooooo good. So, I ordered it and ate with rice. Sure, it's like $27 but the tails and fins were so crispy that I just ate whole. The sauce with the fish was well sweet enough. Seriously, I can come in and eat this everyday, that is - if I have time because it took awhile to fry. The whole place is very Hong Kong - from everyone speaking Cantonese (families coming in hugely) to the servers coming in with well portioned hot food saying "ni tu" (kind of like "food's here") I also saw interesting recipes like ong choy with shrimp paste and horlick... but the servers said those aren't available that night. I'll definitely come back to see how they make these. So exciting. Lastly, I ordered hot and sour soup to go. The portion is not that big compared to other restaurants. But, I'm excited to eat at home during new year. Slurp slurps This place is great for family outings read more

Hong Kong Cafe - Fried fish sooooo good - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Dublin, California

Solid restaurant for fast casual Chinese food. Some hits and misses for me. I loved the half chicken. It was perfectly cooked and served with a ginger scallion sauce that reminds me of home. The veggies, ong choy were cooked well and very tasty. I didn't care for the fried rice, a little mushy and I don't like frozen peas and carrots in my fried rice. The spicy chicken recommend by our server tasted ok but it was bone in small pieces of chicken which made it very difficult to eat. Service was quick and our food came amazingly fast. I would come back to try some other dishes. The noodles looked great! read more

I've been to this Hong Kong Cafe twice now, and it's a good Chinese restaurant in the Dublin area. I would give it 3.5 stars, but I won't be coming here frequently though, so I will round down to 3-stars. The prices are high for a Chinese restaurant, which is common for this area, and their food to be okay. When my friends & I came here on a Saturday night, our bill for 4 adults came out to be over $110 after tax & tip. I felt that prices at other Chinese restaurants to be more affordable, & the flavors of the dishes in Chinatown Oakland & SF to be better, including the Hong Kong cafes in the South Bay areas too. As for the size of the restaurant, they were pretty big, so we were seated right away for a Saturday night. The service wasn't that great since we had to wait a while before they took our order, even though the restaurant wasn't full. Also when our tea pot was empty and we had it open to indicate that it needed to be refilled, no server ever came to refill it on their own, so I had to flag a server down to let them know that it was empty. Overall they are a 3+ star restaurant. The parking had a private lot at the plaza, so parking is easy; and the portions of the food were decent sizes. I just wish the service was more attentive, the food was better, and the prices weren't as high. It's nice to have a Hong Kong Cafe in the Dublin area, but you will be paying the higher prices to dine here. read more

We ordered Wonton noodle soup and Beef Curry rice. Wonton noodle soup had great broth. Unfortinately, it went down hill from there. Wontons skin was overcooked to become quite mushy. The stuffing inside had mild flavor without the famous Hong Kong bouncy consistency. Some of the noodle was not fully separated as if it was not cooked enough... Curry Beef was clearly made where the beef was made separately then mixed with Curry source per order. Beef was tender enough but could be better. Staff was generally pleasant. Overall, very disappointed based on the 2 dishes we ordered. Will not to back again. read more
