So far I only have experience ordering take out via UberEats from here and I was not disappointed. I had the beef chow fun and it was a good portion and seemed authentic Hong Kong food. Just what you would expect for a place called HK Cafe. read more

Good quality food here, though prices are a bit on the higher side for the area. But honestly, the flavors make it worth it for us. I stopped in during the afternoon and noticed they offer a lunch special menu; went with the mapo tofu plate and added a lemon tea for an extra dollar. The sauce had a gentle kick, nothing overwhelming, but that signature Sichuan pepper numbing effect came through nicely. The vegetables added a great bit of texture against the soft tofu, and the pork flavor was well distributed throughout the dish. Their mushroom tofu is another go-to for me. The mushrooms are big and juicy, and the tofu has that perfect contrast, soft on the inside with a slightly firmer exterior. I also tried the French toast, which leans pretty sweet on its own. Adding syrup pushed it a bit over the top for my taste, so I'd probably omit that next time. Overall, it's a solid spot, especially since it's in the same shopping center as 99 Ranch. read more

Came for lunch. Had a traditional Chinese dinner for lunch. Authentic. Good service, good portions. It was for a funeral luncheon. Lots of meat and seafood. No pictures. It was dinner served for lunch. Westlake soup, bbq pork, crispy pork belly, walnuts shrimp, cold cuts appetizers, salted fish chicken fried rice, scallops with Chinese broccoli, roasted duck, Peking duck with buns, sweet and sour pork. Braised tofu with veggies. We came after the luncheon rush was over. Had probably 7-10 tables. Service was fast, friendly, tasty. Parking lot outside. This is inside of an Asian mall that has other shops outside of the restaurant. Something here for everyone. read more

We arrived for an early dinner at about 5:15 on a Saturday night. There were six of us and we were celebrating Chinese New Year as well as our dad's upcoming birthday. We were seated at a large round table with a lazy Susan that was set up for eight. The extra place settings and chairs were removed for our convenience. The restaurant has three set menus in English. The fancy one is $398 and features what I would consider higher quality dishes. The other two are $88 for 1/2 Royal Chicken plus a choice of 4 items from a list and $168 for a whole Roast Duck plus a choice of 7 items from a different list. You can see pictures of those menus at the top of the page. I did not take a current picture. I felt that the $88 dinner offered higher quality dishes than the $168 meal. So I ordered the $88 menu and added three items denoted with * below. Royal Chicken - 5 - This dish is served cold with a small dish of minced green onion, minced ginger, oil and salt. The chicken was chopped and tasty. *Creamy Chicken Corn Soup - 2 - The weakest dish of the evening. The broth was missing salt and the creamed corn wasn't sweet. Mongolian Beef - 3 - Beef was tender and there was some heat to this dish. Not the spiciest I've ever had but satisfactory. Braised Rock Cod Clay Pot - 4 - Some battered Rock Cod, Braised Tofu and Mushroom. Tasty! *Lobster E-Fu Mein - 2 - I didn't try the lobster. I did eat the noodles. Not the most flavorful but not bad either. However, when I checked with my dad, he said that there was very little lobster meat and it was the worse lobster he had ever had. I had asked the server how much it would cost to have two lobsters on top of the E-Fu Mein. She quoted me $49.98 which was the price of two full orders. It's a good thing that I passed. Sauteed Bok Choy with Garlic = 4 - Tasty little side dish. We have to eat our veggies! Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables - 4 - This dish was pretty good. Flavors were right. *Honey Walnut Prawns - 5 - Nice plump Prawns, properly cooked, served with some Mayo sauce and candied Walnuts. Steamed Rice - 3 - Not the best quality rice I've ever had but it was okay. We ordered four bowls and paid $10. Service was hit and miss. It got busy while we were there and there was a line out the door when we left. Once we were seated, presented menus and a pot of tea, it took several minutes before someone came to take our order. Because I had written out our menu, it was very easy to hand to the server who then verified it with me. It took a couple of minutes but she remembered to have someone bring us four glasses of Ice Water. When the food came, it arrived in a hurry. Bang, bang, bang, eight dishes delivered! It was enough food and we had some leftovers. I think that by ordering the way that I did, we had a well-balanced dinner at a price $15 less expensive than their $168 dinner. We had arrived with a cake which they put into a refrigerator for us. When it was time for cake, they provided a cake knife, paper plates and plastic forks at no charge after clearing the table and lazy Susan. read more

This is one of our go-to Hong Kong-style cafés, and their food is consistently excellent. The prices are very reasonable--more affordable than many similar restaurants. The food is always fresh, as a traditional Cantonese person, it truly brings back the nostalgic flavors of my childhood. The staffs are friendly and attentive, the service is excellent. Highly recommended. read more

I've been on the hunt for the best baked pork chop spaghetti and as of right now, Hong Kong Cafe is top of the list! It's a little smaller portion compared to other places, but I love the sauce and tenderness of the pork chop here. The pork is thinly sliced too which makes it easy to eat, and the flavor of the sauce is perfection! This is a dish that does take a little longer to make, so just an FYI if you're eating with a group or short on time. My BF ordered the roast duck and roast pork combo, and I loved the flavor on both! The duck isn't too fatty and the roast pork had the right crunch I was looking for. We ordered this as a rice plate, so it came with a small side of cooked napa cabbage and two sauces. Both sauces were good, erring on the sweeter side, however the sauce you should really go for is the sa te one that's on the table. Totally elevates and complements the meat, and cabbage, as well as added that extra punch to my spaghetti. The sa te sauce isn't spicy, but it's jam packed with umami flavaaaa. They're on the left as soon as you walk into Pacific East mall. Parking lot is huge, however it's always packed in this lot. You'll find parking eventually though. The waiter was really nice but I noticed EVERY SINGLE TABLE got a tea pot except us. We weren't offered any nor did I ask for one, but I noticed they put one down on every new customer's table as soon as they sat down. Menu is large, prices are competitive and yes they do take card/Apple Pay. read more

Located in the Pacific East Mall with a Ranch 99, this spot is a great Hong Kong-style cafe addition to the area! Lots of parking in the lot (but make sure to put your valuables away!). We've come here for dinner a few times and are generally satisfied, with lots of leftovers! True to the hk style, there are lots of dishes to choose from. Portion sizes are large, and everything is shareable. Service is standard for a Chinese restaurant, but generally friendly. They also do dimsum on the weekend, and have lots of takeout options! Not a fancy spot, but great for a Chinese food fix. read more

After a fun day I'm SF, we stopped by around 4pm for a late lunch/early dinner at this cafe. So there was barely any customers and service was quick because there wasn't many guest yet. I really wanted to like this place because authentic Hong Kong style cafe food has been hard to find. Sadly this place was disappointing, the baked rice we came for had so much sauce. There was more sauce than rice and it was too sweet. It was hard to eat more than a few bites so we took the rest home. The beef chow fun was on a greasy side for me, but I did like that they added the yellow chives. The red bean ice drink was also too sweet for me. Overall, this place could improve if everything was just less sweet. read more

We were craving for soup and ho fun after a hike and this place did not disappoint! This restaurant is inside a shopping plaza. Inside is super clean and spacious.

This might be our new favorite spot! read more

Hong Kong Cafe - Hot & Sour Soup w/Pork/ 酸辣湯 West Lake Beef Soup/ 西湖牛肉羹 - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, California

I went here on a weekday and it was packed! Service is quick and the food is tasty. It's nothing fancy but it's a good spot for casual Chinese food. We ordered off the set menu where you choose 4 dishes and they give you the Empress Chicken and soup for free. The whole meal was $88 and can feed 5-6 people. All of the dishes were pretty good but my favorite ones were the Hong Kong Style ribs and the salty fish chicken tofu. We also ordered bitter melon and ribs off the main menu which were also pretty good. Staff was friendly and parking is very easy as this is located in a large strip mall next to a Happy Lemon and 99 Ranch. I will be back! read more

Hard to rate this place. The food was delicious! But I'm giving it 3 stars because the service was kind of chaotic. The dishes came out slowly one at a time with the fried rice coming out at the very end after we were almost done with everything else. So... we ate just chicken first, then duck, then veggies, and then rice LOL. Actually, I think they forgot about the rice dish, because we had to remind them. Ideally, it would have been nice to eat the rice alongside all the other dishes together. The service people were nice but seemed really really busy, running all over the place. read more

I came here for dinner and this place was packed. Thankfully they had a small table available so I didn't need to wait. There were a lot of large parties dining in and it was loud. The menu had a wide selection of food choices. I got the Tomato Beef Chow Mein and it was delicious. The beef was really tender and the tomatoes were juicy. The noodles had a nice crunch with every bite. The sauce was sweet and tangy flavor and made everything in the dish taste so flavorful. I also got the salt & pepper pork ribs and it was good. The pork was tender and the outside was crispy. It was lightly seasoned and had just enough flavor where it didn't taste bland. It would have been great if it came with some dipping sauce. The dish did come with a few pieces of jalapeno peppers but the pork wasn't spicy. Service was a little slow. They did not have enough servers working all the tables. My server barely came back to check in on me. The only thing I needed was an extra tea refill. The food on the other hand came out in a timely manner. I actually had trouble finding someone to pay my bill. Eventually, I just got up and walked to the front counter and told the lady working there that I wanted to pay my bill. The inside of the restaurant was very clean. The tables were nicely spaced out so people had more than enough room to move around. One of their TVs actually had a Doraemon anime playing. Parking wasn't an issue since they were located inside the Pacific East Mall. read more

It is very typical cantonese food with a Hong Kong flair. Came in on a Friday afternoon and restaurant was about half full. Appreciate the food was not too salty as we had two elderly's in my party. Corn and Chicken Soup: Standard Chicken Corn Soup. It was more corn starchy than I liked Walnut Prawns: No complaints on the prawns or the candied walnuts but I have never seen this dish served as two separate components and without broccoli. Sautéed Pea Shoots: Always a favorite of mine but this dish was on the tough side. They definitely did not peel the older pieces. Seafood Noodles: Appreciate the amount of seafood in this noodle dish however too much corn starch was used in the sauce. Bell Pepper Squid Stir Fry: Good amount of squid and pepper. Flavor was good. Probably best thing we ordered. Overall this restaurant was okay, the staff was just the right amount of attentiveness however will likely not revisit. read more

Went for lunch to try their Peking Duck.... Well, it's tasty, but not crispy. The duck did not seem to be thoroughly cooked (see photo). I suggest they take more care in the prepping of such a dish. The cuts were very ragged, meat wasn't filleted, so could be dangerous to some (small jagged bones, not "cut", but broken. What I'm used to is a crispy duck with minimal fat (rendered). This was not the case here. read more

HK Cafe is a Hong Kong style Cha Chaan Teng with lots of classic dishes. We were passing by and stopped at this mall and gave this spot a try. The other option was Special Noodle. (Been to several locations) 3.9 on Yelp. The food was better than expected. Service was acceptable but not great. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Hainan style Chicken with special rice ($15.95) had lots of boney but nicely done chicken sprinkled with peanuts. Excellent ginger scallion dipping sauce and rice. This is one of the best versions in the SF Area! 10/10 Coconut Chicken Soup ($21.95) is a long boiled soup with lots of chicken and chopped up coconut. Deep flavors. 9/10 Gai Lan with Garlic ($14.50) was stir fried just right. Good quantity and flavors. Slightly greasy. 9/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Very Good Would we come back - Yes read more

Brought the Canto grandparents here for lunch on a Sunday around 11:30am. For having just opened at 11am, it was already pretty busy. There was no wait for our party of 4 though. We ordered 5 items and they came out relatively quickly. Lobster yee-fu noodles: For only $23ish, it's a pretty good deal. Decent amount of lobster and the noodles were soft and had chew to them. I think it could've used a little more seasoning, but this was my qualm with a lot of the dishes we ordered. Pork cheek: Pork was tender and sauce was good. I think I personally am not the biggest fan of this dish, but objectively it was cooked well. Snow pea leaves with garlic: One of my go tos at Chinese restaurants, and this one was yummy! Not too garlicky or too tough. And the portion was HUGE. Tofu with mixed vegetables: Savory sauce, maybe abalone? Tofu was good and veggies were cooked well. Beef chow fun: Again, big portion! Chow fun was good though, I personally think could've used some more seasoning/salt, but that's my preference. We ordered mainly off the specials menu, but overall the food was pretty decent. The selling point for me here is the prices and portions. The prices are pretty low compared to what i've seen elsewhere and the portions are so big. So in general, worth. read more

I'm down here in the Bay Area for work and a friend of mine wanted to take me out for,what he said was the best roast duck around. We go in and are seated quickly. We get tea to drink. He orders the roast duck. You can either get half a duck or the whole thing, and he got the whole duck, cause that was gonna be our main dish. Steamed rice was had as well. The duck arrives all sliced beautiful. I gotta say this was one of the best looking plated ducks I've seen. My first bit was like heavan decended upon my head and out me into a happy cloud! Wow, that skin and fat and meat all mixed together in my mouth was so freakin good! Yeah, a whol dick is kinda expensive, but not really if you figure it feeds two or three or you wanted. Service was fine, not much interaction beyound ordering and serving the food and collecting the check. I'd come back here for the duck anytime. Red Bluff where I live, sure doesn't have any roast duck like this! read more

Dinner took over two hours, and food came out at a painfully slow pace, about one dish every 30 minutes. The staff seemed overwhelmed and didn't really acknowledge the delays. The worst part: we ordered lobster noodles at the start, were told it was coming, checked multiple times, and waited while multiple tables that arrived after us finished and left. After another 30 minutes, we had to ask again and were finally told they didn't even have noodles. No one mentioned this earlier, which was incredibly frustrating. I'm so confused! So now I've wasted an hour waiting for a non existent dish and the waiters could care less. read more

I don't understand the 4 or 5-star reviews. This is the worst HK cafe I have ever visited. Whenever I visit one of these cafes, I order a hot HK milk tea, a club sandwich, and baked pork chop rice. The club sandwich didn't come with eggs inside, even though the picture stated otherwise. I know eggs are expensive, but c'mon! Next, the baked pork chop wasn't cooked right. I doubt it was baked. The red sauce looked like ketchup, and the pork chop tasted rubbery. Even though I was hungry, I couldn't finish my food. My significant other ate the rest and whatever was on my plate. Pros: Good customer service and comfortable chairs. read more

I've been on yum cha kick this year, hitting up quite a few HK style cafes in the east bay. My current stack rank is 1) C&M Bistro if it's early 2) Shooting Star Cafe it's late and 3) this place, Hong Kong Cafe, if I'm in the area. ENORMOUS portions and very, VERY good prices. $11.50 for a huge bowl of wonton noodle soup is a steal. While other cafes will prioritize value on a combo or lunch meal, this place has great prices on entrees across the board. Bustling and chatty atmosphere. You will almost always encounter several large groups celebrating an occasion. The servers are really friendly and nice. Restrooms inside the restaurant! I've always been really satisfied with the food and the portions, but I wouldn't say anything has wowed me. And I think for this style of restaurant, that's perfectly. In an HK cafe I want my tea strong, my food to come out fast and the vibes to be right, and this place nails it. My favorite dish so far is the deep fried custardy tofu in a five-spice scented soy sauce. I'd love to come back to explore the catch and cook option and some more of the menu. read more

We've been here many times now - both dined in as well as takeout. All in all, it's one of our favorite places nearby for Chinese food. Some of my must gets are the spicy duck blood (it's on their 'Today's Specials' menu outside, although I think they have it every day), salty egg yolk pumpkin, preserved egg and salty pork congee, and any of their claypots - my favorite is the lamb stew one though. Aside from my musts, we usually try something new or a couple of other dishes as well as I love having leftovers. My boyfriend enjoys all their claypots with eggplant and likes their more traditionally Hong Kong Cafe style dishes like the spaghettis. When we've dined in, service has always been friendly. For some reason, I noticed service is faster for online/phone orders than dining in, so if you're in a rush, I recommend doing takeout instead. Either way, we'll be back soon! read more

The Hong Kong cafe restaurant was very disappointing to me. 1st my wife asked for hot and sour soup and requested mild since she has a weak stomach. This was a take-out order and the soup was extremely spicy. I tasted it myself, and it was spicy for me. Of course, there was nothing we could do as we were home. The salt and pepper fish was mediocre, and the broccoli was average. Additionally, I requested that I could have some Chinese mustard. Usually, in other restaurants, they give me a couple of packets. It was absurd that she gave me about 1/8 of an inch of Chinese mustard in a container. For $78 for mediocre food, it was an insult to receive this mustard. We would never go there again. read more

HK Cafe is one of my family's favorite Chinese restaurants to go for a meal. A favorite dish is pigs' (ju) hands (sul) because the forefeet are more tender than the rear. Other favorite dishes are the beef chow fun and thousand-year or century egg congee (juk). This time my foodie brother ordered the rare-on-the-menu sweet potato leaves (fan shuit mui). We also had the chicken vegetable house soup. Everything was scrumptious!

Hong Kong Cafe - Sweet & Sour Pork. Beef Chow Fun. DELICIOUS - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, California

First time to HK cafe. The roasted duck is a must order, 5 stars for that! Roasted pork has perfect crispy skin. The hot and sour soup is bland and flavorless. Need more salt, pepper and spices! Blank pepper clams probably the worst dish out of the things we ordered. Clams are small and have sand. Probably safe to stick with the popular dishes like beef chow fun, baked pork chop and rice. Service was friendly and attentive though. read more

We have been looking all over for the down-home, village-style, old-school chopped pork pattie with salted fish and ginger slivers. Very few Cantonese restaurants have it anymore. Eureka! We found it here at Hong Kong Café. So this is now the go to place to get it as we can't find it anywhere else anymore. Looking at the menu, I want to come back and try so many of their other things. Another Yelper said it right, this is real Hong Kong food, not San Francisco Cantonese. Although we got takeout, the service was very friendly. I'm coming back to try a few other things! I always thought the food in Hong Kong was the best in the world! read more

Came in for the first time for lunch and it was fairly busy. We order three lunch dishes. Came with complimentary soup which was cold. Very distasteful and I had only one spoonful of it. My tofu/pork dish came out and again I was disappointed. There was too much thick gelatinous cornstarch slurry over it I only ate half of my meal. Someone else got a noodle w duck dish and said the noodles were not even cooked. Had to let it sit in the broth for another 10 min just to be able to bite through the noodles. Bitter melon and ribs dish was not bad. Likely to chose a different place next time. read more

I used to come here often to get steamed fish and steamed shrimp before I moved. Do you know that they can cook your fish and shrimp for a minimum cost? $10 for up to 2lbs. I usually has 2 lbs Halibut from Ranch Market ( next door from the restaurant ) for steam. Cooking instruction; A little soy sauce with no ginger. Sauce mixed in. And I like to have 2 lbs of shrimps steam as well. No ginger. Just soy sauce with some jalapeno. This make it a healthy meal. Service is great-they know me and always get my order done the way I want them. Sometimes I order fried rice, noodle with lobster, wine chicken soup, braised tofu with mushroom and veggies for add on. Most of the time I go with steam fish and steam shrimp only. Because where else you can have these cooked? I don't want my kitchen smell. Ask for Hailey-she is the best server. She called me "My friend." She did ask why I haven't come for a while. read more
