French Toast
Danny V.

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.

Came here for the first time and the waiters, staff, owner was kind. Lots of Hong Kong style snacks, food items on the menu along with selection of drinks. l Plenty of seating and easily accessible location being at the front of the plaza. Right off I80, check this place out!

20260228 - Honey Walnut  Prawns
Dexter D.

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.

Baked Pork chop over Spaghetti
Stephanie L.

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.

Came here with my family of five on the Fourth of July, and we had a great experience. The food came out hot, the portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The service was friendly even though it was busy. We'll definitely be back!

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.

Still 5 stars for this place. Always delivers the expectations. Even though the item (pork cutlet on the side with lai fun noodle) wasn't on the menu, they crafted it just the way I wanted.

Hot & Sour Soup w/Pork/ 酸辣湯 West Lake Beef Soup/ 西湖牛肉羹
Angelica S.

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. Our server was super nice and attentive. We ordered a west lake beef soup, hot and sour soup, and scrambled egg and prawn chow fun. Everything was super delicious and filled our tummy. This might be our new favorite spot!

Ambiance was lively with World Cup match playing on TVs during dinner time. Spacious seating, friendly waitresses and excellent food made a Wednesday evening feel like a nice weekend treat.

Baked pork chop rice on red sauce and white sauce
Sarah T.

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.

Empress chicken
Winnie L.

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!

For an authentic HK Cafe dining experience the HK Cafe in Richmond does not disappoint. Excellent HK Milk Tea, Beef Chow Fun that has good wok hay, and on point Singaporean chow mi fun... Service is what one may expect from a typical HK Cafe... fast, efficient and non nonsense kind of quick service. Seating is roomy with booth seating snd large round tables for larger parties. Overall a great spot for HK food at great prices. :)

Invited to graduation dinner here but forgot to take pics before everyone ate, unfortunately ... The dishes were attractively presented w/good quantities of food & all very tasty !! My aunt ordered so I'm not sure what exactly was ordered !? Service was quick & efficient, fitting the many dishes onto the table & bringing more hot tea... The dining room is clean & very open, w/plenty of large tables to accomodate large families

Walked in and didn't see any staff, so I went straight to the ladies' restroom - it's tiny. Came…read moreback out... still no one. Rang the bell twice before a lady appeared and directed me to sit on the other side of the restaurant. Adventure begins. It was COLD where I sat, so I asked for a cup of hot tea -- problem solved. The menu, though? Massive. Pho, salads, Vietnamese sandwiches, porridge, vegetarian dishes, noodle soups, vermicelli bowls, rice plates, chow mein, catering options... and about 30 drinks including fruit shakes with boba. If you can't find something here, that's on you. Parking is easy since they have their own lot - always a win around here. Now, about the staff -- I mention this because credit is due. Everyone appears to be older (50+), clearly hardworking folks grinding it out to make a living, and they're genuinely nice. Don't expect much small talk in English though -- they're polite, efficient, and focused on getting things done rather than chatting, which is totally fine. Just a "here's your food, enjoy" kind of vibe. One funny (but slightly distracting) thing: there was a full-on conversation happening in the kitchen between a lady and a man, and it was loud enough that I could clearly hear it from my seat. I felt like I was unintentionally eavesdropping. Maybe turn the kitchen decibel down just a notch? Final downside: a $0.50 to-go charge and a $1.38 'merchant fee.' I find these additional charges off-putting and they give me pause about returning. On principle, I believe these are operating costs the establishment should absorb rather than fees that are passed on to the customer. Overall: extensive menu options, hardworking staff, easy parking -- but the mediocre food, extra fees and a few quirks will keep me away and keep it from being a slam dunk.

Love the food pho is delicious wonderful service easy parking you well love everything on the menuread more

It's on Solano Avenue so it's in an area with a lot of other food spots. They have great friendly service that made us feel welcomed when we entered the store. We got their Spicy Pork Belly Rice Bowl, Beef Tofu Soup, Rose Tteokbokki, and Spicy Cold Noodles. I personally liked the rice bowl and the tofu soup the best! They both had a nice comforting vibe to each dish that I really liked. Their cold noodles and rose tteokbokki were not bad either, but I personally didn't find them to be too memorable. They have a cute patio in the back that we didn't get to sit at, but I heard is very cute. I'd love to come back to try their lunch sets as well! Overall, solid Korean restaurant - definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a Korean spot in Berkeley!

I chose to sit on the back patio, which is absolutely delightful and made for a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience. Between the tasty food, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly service, this is definitely a place I'll be returning to. Highly recommended.

Their menu is huge, so there's definitely something for everyone. Honestly, everything I've tried has been tasty, which is why I stick to my favorites. I love supporting neighborhood spots like this, and I'll keep coming back whenever I'm craving Chinese.
