    While visiting LA, we saw several locations for Hong Kong Cafe. As a fan of this style of food after visiting Hong Kong, we wanted to try what this place was up to. 1. Baked fish with tomato sauce over rice. This is one of my favorite dishes at a similar place in our home town. Sadly, this place did not offer the option for half-half tomato and white sauce (which is how I normally get it). Since I had to choose, I went with the "lighter" tomato sauce version. The fish was large and generous, but the flavor left only the hardcore favorite of the dish (me) eating it all by myself. Decent. 2. The Ong Choy (hollow stem vegetable) was pretty good. Solid job with the garlic sauce being not too oily, but they get cook the vegetables down quite a bit so its a bit on the softer side. 3. Honey Walnut shrimp was decent. The mayo level was too high and the shrimp, though fresh, was overpowered by the sauce. 4. French toast was disappointing. A bit dry. The butter and syrup comes on the side in packages. Not very good, would not recommend this dish. 5. The chrysanthemum tea was very fresh and not too sweet. My family did not like the fact that the blossoms are actually in the drink, but I enjoyed.

    This has to be the best hidden gem in the area. Got there just before the busy lunch crowd. Flavors are just spot on and is a favorite among locals. Their servings are big. I wish they had a location in Orange County but we are willing to drive because everything was delicious. We ordered the salted fish fried rice, salt and pepper squid, French style beef and chow fun.

    Came for lunch not too busy today. Food and service is alway the best. I asked for less salt but still a bit salty to my taste, may be the msg? TV for soccer enthusiasts and songs to enjoy the atmosphere lol ~ whichever suits you !

    Love the decor vibe filled with old memories of Hong Kong. Foods are authentic and great qualities of HK styles just like we never left HK. They have so many options and delicious foods mixed with new styles . Free refill certain drinks. The rice rolls being back childhood memories. Absolutely a treasure.

    We've been to their Monterey Park location before, and the menu here felt a bit off in comparison. We stopped by for lunch and shared a few dishes: Pork chop pineapple bun: the pork chop was much smaller than the bun, which threw off the ratio. Steamed BBQ pork buns: pretty standard dim sum. Rice rolls: these were a highlight. I liked the variety of sauces, and they were slightly pan-fried. Mapo spinach pasta: a bit too spicy for my taste. Salt & pepper squid: unfortunately, this was mostly batter with barely any seasoning, completely inedible. Hot bottled Vita soy drink: advertised on the wall for nostalgia, but what we received was a generic substitute, which felt misleading. Overall, I definitely prefer the Monterey Park location over this one.

    I came back to Hong Kong Cafe to try new dishes. The beef porridge, tofu with enoki mushroom, beef-egg-tomato and curry beef brisket were savory and delicious. The staff were attentive and helpful. The ambiance is bright, cozy, airy and full of decor that remind you of Hong Kong. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!

    I have been to other locations, and this is my first time at this new one. The cafe is located in a strip mall, with parking easy to find. The menus are similar to those at the other locations, but each location has its own specialty. I tried the steamed chicken, and it was delicious. The chicken here tasted better than the one I had at the MPK locations. The dish tasted better, and the way it is cooked makes the meat more tender and juicy. The service I received was attentive and polite.

    So nostalgic and delicious! The inside is decorated really well, and there are lots of signs and art pointing to classic Hong Kong cafés! The parking lot is huge, so there's definitely no issue there. I went during breakfast time and there was a really nice breakfast deal and it was only an extra $1 for the lemon tea and an extra $1.50 for the pineapple bun. The congee was well seasoned and delicious, and the pineapple bun was very crispy with melted butter inside.

    Came here to get some work done for ~2 hours and eat some comfort food, I wasn't bothered for having a laptop although it is a bit noisy because most people are there eating normally. The service was ok, you have to wave them down if you want anything, it took about 20 minutes for me to get my food, though the drink came earlier. The hong kong coffee did not really taste like hong kong coffee to me, it was very watery with a hint of the hong kong coffee taste. The eggs buns were ok, and the sticky rice was not bad. Price wise, both were $6.5 each, so pretty good value for your food. I enjoyed my time here, but I probably wouldn't come back.

    Shrimp & Egg Chow Fun
    Linda K.

    We usually visit other branches, so when we found out this location had opened in Rowland Heights, we were excited to give it a try. We stopped by on a Saturday around 2:30 PM--perfect timing, as it wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. We ordered the Chow Fun with Shrimp & Egg and the Ovaltine Toast. The Chow Fun came in a very generous portion, easily enough for two people, and the flavors were spot on. As always, the decor is stylish and consistently well-maintained, which adds to the overall experience. Definitely a spot worth recommending--this Hong Kong café delivers the same quality across all locations.

    Really a vibe and food was something you'd expect from a hong kong style cafe! I have never been to hong kong, but if i had to guess, it'd be something similar to this location! Really enjoyed my cream sauce baked chicken over rice. Add some black pepper sauce to that thing, and boy, you got yourself a heart warming meal. The black pepper sauce on the side did cost a little extra, but i'm a sucker for that sauce. Parking was shared and there's plenty of it. Service was friendly!

    Steamed Pork Sumai. $7.50.
    Krishna C.

    We loved the food from here! Mrs. fancies steak prepared and served like this! Ian loved his sausage fried rice. Indonesian Fried Rice could be spicier. I would not mind. *Laughs* All of us enjoyed the popcorn Chixken. Pork Sumai was served piping hot, and had a lot of flavors inside. We had lot of leftovers. Tasty food. Generous portions. Festive atmosphere. Must check this restaurant out!

    This place is a hit and miss when it comes to the doness of your steak. This time it was a hit! More on the rare side, but still very tender. The black pepper sauce is also the best in the area.

Their menu is expansive. Portions are always hearty. I ordered 3 dishes knowing full well we wouldn't finish it. - lunch special bbq pork with two eggs over rice. I was actually impressed with the roast pork! It was flavorful and had a good chew. Not melt in your mouth soft but better than a lot of other places. Very good for under $17. - Singapore vermicelli noodles - had a nice curry kick. The noodle was very dry but that's how I like it. I love the shrimps, it was plump and juicy. The roast pork was flavorful. - margarita pizza - been meaning to try their western menu and thought pizza was a good start. The pizza was actually not too bad! It came out piping hot and fresh but the tomato sauce was cold. Weird. They probably spooned on the sauce and cheese after letting the dough cook first. The dough was really really good! I also got a red bean ice - not enough ice and not sweet enough. And I never complain about sweetness and most drinks are too sweet for me. My opinion still stands that Garden Bistro is a solid choice. Not mind blowing but good.

Great wide selection of cafe style dishes, so filling you have enough for a snack later =] We ordered: Minced Beef & Egg on Rice - Very light savory in flavoring which is nice for lunch so you don't feel guilty. I had enough to take home to make more sunny side up eggs to enjoy it with Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs - Comes with a large side of jasmine rice. The sour and sweet sauce is just right, not overpowering in flavor on one spectrum. There are bones on some of the ribs FYI. The sauteed vegetables is a great balance to the rib meat. Baked Sole Fillet & Spinach in Cream Sauce - I chose pasta which hit the carb crave I was having. They had big chunks of sole fillet to balance the creamy sauce. I would recommend adding a bit of pepper if you want some adjustments to the flavoring. The staff seated us immediately and provided their complimentary soup of the day, which was cream corn soup Definitely coming back to enjoy more dishes in the near future =]

Overall, the food was excellent, even my Asian parents, who can be pretty critical when it comes to Chinese food, gave most dishes high marks. The crispy noodles had great texture, the West Lake beef soup was comforting and flavorful, and the eggplant portions were generous. The service was what I'd describe as classic Chinese restaurant service. The waitress came across as a little rushed and occasionally seemed slightly annoyed, but she was still attentive and accommodated everything we asked for without any issues. Our food came out at a reasonable pace, and we never felt forgotten or had to chase anyone down. The atmosphere had its own unique charm. The restaurant was playing early-2000s hip-hop while a Chinese gangster drama played on the TV, which made for an unexpectedly entertaining backdrop. The restroom was also clean, which is always appreciated. My only real criticism is the sweet and sour pork. The batter itself was crispy and well executed, but too many of the pieces were mostly breading wrapped around bone with very little meat. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. Even with that one miss, everything else was strong enough that we left very satisfied.

The beef chow mein was good-- while it was lacking some wok hay, the noodles were fried to perfection. Flavor was lacking as well. The beef brisket was tender and the flavor was there but it was slightly tangy/sour-- on the border of doing bad? I've never had this dish taste sour. The typhoon ribs were filled with fried garlic and the ribs came out hot and crispy! I recommend this dish if you like salt and pepper shrimp/chicken-- this is a fun alrernative Service was better than the avg Chinese restaurant. We were 1/3 parties so I'm not sure if it changes when it gets busy. There's plenty of parking.
