Different kinds of porridge! I love it! I love the Hot Lemon Tea with honey. I Love the Chinese Doughnut. Their ala carte menu is way to good for family dinners. read more

Located in a kind of dismal and lengthy strip mall, we found parking in the lot and went inside. Everything in this restaurant has been remodeled and it looks a lot better than the outside. We had a number of very good dishes for dinner. Particular, I like their Chinese beef stew over boiled and drained egg noodles. I've been there twice and I will come back again for sure. read more

@ Lorenzo Manor Shopping Center 17850 Hesperian Blvd San Lorenzo, CA 94580 Hong Kong Cafe is a casual Chinese restaurant in a rundown shopping plaza in San Lorenzo, CA. I have worked in Hayward for over 25 years, and have probably passed this old strip mall 1000's of times. On a Saturday, I decided to stop and look for a place to eat lunch. I see people going in and out of Hong Kong Cafe, so I go in and take a peek. The windows are all covered, so you can't really see the interior when you walk by. They have a fairly large dining room. There were three servers running around the tables. I was greeted and offered a table. Quickly, I get a menu, table setting, and a glass of ice water. A second server came to get my order. I ordered my favorite lunch.... - Wor Won Ton Soup w/ Noodles - Salt 'n Pepper Prawns Food came out quickly. The Wor Won Ton Soup was a hearty bowl loaded with meat, veggies, and 9-10 plump dumplings. The soup was steaming hot and fairly mild in taste. The thin noodles were very satisfying. The Salt 'n Pepper Prawn were large and plump. I like mine salty and spicy. These were not really spicy hot. The prawns were good, but lacked the spicy kick. I had to add chili oil to bring out the taste. Overall, I had a good first time experience here. It was fairly busy and I experienced great service. I would come again, but Hong Kong Cafe wouldn't be my first choice for Chinese food in San Lorenzo. Parking is tough in this shopping center. Too many popular shops, all sharing parking spots. There's larger lots on the ends of the plaza if you don't mind walking. read more

This is a comfort food place for me. I've eaten here a couple times and have gotten it for take out. I do like their baked pork chop, tomato sauce with spaghetti. I do wish they allow both garlic cream and tomato sauce. Their braised pork belly with veggies is divine. *Chefs kiss* Beef chow fun is pretty standard and tasty. Ventured off and got braised lamb. A bit chewy and had more fat than I wanted. Service was good. The staff gave us extra tomato sauce to go for the rest of our baked pork chop meal. read more

Came here on a Sunday night around 6pm. First time coming to this original branch. We usually go to the one in Dublin. This one is smaller. And seats filled up quick before we left around 7:30. We ordered the usual Fujian fried rice I usually get at the Dublin location. We asked for low oil low salt. But the dish was quite salty!! We could mix another bowl of rice to dilute the saltiness. But the portion was good. And it's $3 cheaper than Dublin's!! We also got the house special pan fried noodles. It was good portion. Tasted good with lots of ingredients. The only thing is I wish their noodles can be more crispy on the bottom. But there was too much sauce so it's a bit soggy to my taste but still good. We also got free dessert which we don't get at Dublin. Service was great. The servers were so friendly and kind. It's a great HK style cafe to try if you are in the area! read more

Worst won ton ever, the filling and won ton skins separated and tasteless. Tomato beef chow mein were vert sour, too much gravy, looked more like tomato beef noodle soup. I had been coming to this place for many years. This should be the last time. I can't believe they serve such terrible quality food. read more

Always loved taking food to go from here but this time stopped in for a quick lunch. Place was quite busy during a weekday but parking was not too bad in the lot in front. Got the omelette fried rice, garlic romaine, and the salted egg fried mushroom. The latter was especially good and tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. And the place was bright and clean. Will come back again when I'm in the area. read more

We finally had an opportunity to dine in and we will definitely be back soon and often! I didn't go in the last time we were here for take-out. From the time before when we had tried this restaurant, it was like night and day. I remember when the sign said Sisi's, the restaurant was dark and questionable. Now it's well-lit and clean. There were about three tables in use when we walked in. We were allowed to choose our own table. It looked like most of the tables were two- and four-tops. There were two tables with lazy Susans at the back of the dining room. The menu is quite extensive. Many items are shown in color photos and at least as many more are not. It was too early for dinner and since there were only two of us, it wasn't practical to order a full menu although I know that we would have enjoyed it. For today, we ordered: Beef Stew Won Ton Soup with Flat Rice Noodles - 5 - They offer a variety of this style of soup with Won Ton; with Noodles; with Flat Noodles and different proteins. I'm sure that if they're not busy, they'd let you order off the menu and get whatever combination you wanted. The Won Ton have Pork and Shrimp in them. The broth was delicious. Chinese Beef Stew is often just meat and tendons, no veg. Their Beef Stew was tender and delicious. It also came with some lettuce and green onions for flavor, color and texture. Seafood Pan Fried Noodles (Hong Kong Style) - 5 - Regular Chow Mein is made of soft noodles fried with proteins and vegetables, no sauce. Hong Kong Style gives you a "patty" of crispy fried noodles which is then crowned with your proteins in a flavorful sauce. As the noodles absorb the sauce, they'll get soft. Noodles without sauce will still be crunchy. A very nice contract of textures. The Seafood consisted of Shrimp, Calamari, and Scallops. There was also Bok Choy, Carrots and Shiitake Mushrooms. Pork Spareribs with Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce - 5 - Tender morsels of Pork sauteed with Bitter Melon cooked to perfection. Just pure deliciousness. This dish would be a perfect snacking dish with beer, no rice needed. Service was very good. The food came out at a good pace. I really want to go back soon and try Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables; Oyster Omelet; Shrimp with Lobster Sauce; Steamed Pork with Salted Egg; Baked Seafood in White Sauce over Spaghetti; Tomato Beef Pan Fried Noodles; Fujian Fried Rice; Fish Porridge; Rice Sheet Roll with X.O. Sauce..... I think it'll take a few visits to try all these dishes and more! read more

Came for dinner with my family on a random Tuesday evening. There's a long strip of parking which was convenient. The place itself was pretty empty, only a couple other groups eating. We were greeted and sat immediately at a large group table and served tea and water. Menu is ginormous so we ordered a variety of dishes to share family style. Most of the dishes were okay, but some standout items were the sweet and sour pork and the cold chicken (idk what the English is lol..). Everything else was fine. There was a braised pork belly dish that I was expecting to be good, but the pork belly was somehow tough. Service was good, the server came to check on us often, refill our waters, and boxed up our food for us at the end. Overall, my experience was okay. Not bad, but not great. read more

Excellent veggie options here and we enjoyed our meal. Even the veggie fried rice was soft and pillowy yet each rice still individual morsels. The basil eggplant was oily but flavorful with basil. Their Hong Kong style milk tea is strong and somewhat smooth. Service is thoughtful and upon knowing we're vegetarian helped with ordering. read more

Came here just 5 minutes shy of the afternoon Happy Hour. They used to be called Si Si Cafe long long time ago. Parking can be difficult if the narrow parking lot is filled. But you always get 1 or 2 spots left. The area seems shady, it is completely safe. The inside is renovated and looks much better: brighter, cleaner and better casual ambiance. Congee can be more densed. Beef Fried Ho Fun and Corn Sauce Fish Fillet Rice were good. read more

We came here on a Friday a little bit after 5pm. The restaurant was kind of empty so we got a table pretty quick. They were watching Chinese jeopardy. It was pretty funny. The restaurant isn't quiet, but it wasn't loud either. Parking was kind of hard to find. Service was okay. Food was delicious. We got the rice roll with XO sauce. Pretty good. My friend rated it a 10/10. She said it tastes way better than the previous time she had it there. We also got the baked beef top with egg over rice. It was good too. The beef was so soft. Overall, everything was delicious. For sure, will come back again if I am ever in town. read more

The dry beef chow fun was very good but my husband said it was really oily. My wor won ton had lots of meat and seafood, bbq pork, chicken, shrimp, squid and bay shrimp as well as veggies. It came out hot but service was really slow. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our food. I have it a 3 because service was so slow. read more

Don't come here unless you want to get harassed into providing tips that weren't really deserved? I had a pleasant meal but let me tell you, the service was not anything special. I didn't appreciate how we weren't checked on. It was an empty Wednesday night and there were a couple others but it wasn't a full house. My thing is, it's totally fine if you're busy but to demand tips at the end of the meal when nothing was done to deserve that is absurd. I don't think I've experienced any meal at a restaurant where the server/staff watches over your shoulder to press you on tipping. They argued with my friend and I just tipped them a bit to end it. However, they wanted both of us to tip a certain amount. This was not a great experience because of that interaction. The food is good but not amazing and not worth going back and forth over gratuity... If that's the case, have your gratuity included. What a disappointment because this is a local gem held by others. Now I see why there are low ratings and I couldn't agree more. read more

We've been here a few times. The baked pork chop rice and beef stew on the crispy pan fried noodles is one of our favorites!

My favorite Chinese restaurant to get Beef Chow Fun has closed. in search of a new place and found this one. I ordered to go, picked it up in 15 minutes. The service was friendly at pick up. Oh, they don't take cards for payment if your order is less than $20.00. As for the beef chow fun, it lack the smokey burnt flavor and beef. For a little under $18 with tax is not worth it in my opinion. I don't think I would go back. The search is still on!!! read more

I was so excited to try a place near by that has HK cafe food! I was sad to find that there was not a lot of meat in the house special chow mein. Overall the chow mein had good flavor and not too oily. The Baked pork chop had rice with egg in it which gave extra flavor but not much flavor in the sauce itself. The service was just okay, but had a hard time getting someone to come over. read more

I have been to this place multiple times and have also ordered take out from them on numerous occasions as well. I'm confident to say, they do not disappoint and lives up to my expectation each time. This is a legit HK style cafe with generous portions and delicious cantonese dishes. I have tried multiple menu items and they all taste great. My most recent Uber eats order was the seafood tofu claypot and the wonton noodle soup. Both were very tasty and good portions. I finished the wonton noodle soup for lunch but I still have my order of the seafood clay pot for dinner. When I dine in, service has always been pretty good. They seat you quickly, get your order quickly and serve your food quickly. I don't remember waiting long each time. They can get busy so pick a good time of the day to go to avoid the wait. It's located inside a small plaza in San Lorenzo so there are parking spots but just not a lot since all the businesses share the parking. It's an HK style cafe so I probably wouldn't bring a date here but it's a good place to hang out with friends and family for a casual dinner or lunch. I've tried a good amount of HK style cafes in the east bay and I always come back to this one for my craving of cantonese dishes. read more

Stopped by because I was craving some HK style cafe food, and this place delivered!!! I'm so happy that I don't have to drive to Oakland Chinatown anymore to get some baked pork chop over rice! The pork chop was cooked perfectly and the tomato sauce had a nice tanginess to it. Not too sweet and paired nicely with the egg fried rice underneath. If there's one dish you need to try, this would be it!!! The only downside was that it took a while to make ~ 25 mins. We also got their beef chow fun and it was very good as well. They used the skinny rice noodles and they don't stick together. I appreciate these little details that make the dish better. It was not too oily or salty so that is a plus! They have a large menu from small shareable appetizers to large entrees. I want to try everything including the curry fish balls and the HK style French toast with peanut butter. Guess I'll have to come back soon! The ladies were super nice and asked how everything was. The restaurant was very clean - it seems they got new tables and chairs installed. Definitely check this place out if you want some authentic Cantonese food!! read more

I wanted to update my review since it looks like they have a new owner or chef. I noticed the quality of the food has increased. The food is tastier and there more more/better ingredients.

Please stay away!!! This may be an authentic Chinese restaurant (owners are Asian), but the food is EXTREMELY bad. I took my Chinese parents here and they hated it. The service was also rude because they literally stare you down while you eat, felt like they wanted us to hurry up and leave. Another negative was that we were one of the only tables eating there, since most people order take out. With most authentic Chinese restaurants, you will find a flock of Asian aunties and uncles chit chatting. I have been here to try the baked rice and that is okay, but if you are looking to try the stir fry items, it is WAYYYYY too salty. My family and I chugged so much water with every bite. To wash down the salt, we probably each drank 10 cups of hot tea. If you are looking to find real and good Chinese food that isn't too salty, please look elsewhere. Too much salt is NOT good for your cardiovascular health. Chinese cuisine is typically very umami-rich and low in salt. read more

My son was running errands with his grandmother and they were trying to find something for lunch after they were done. They initially wanted sushi but the spot they wanted was closed and decided on this place cause his grandmother says this Chinese spot is really good. They ordered to go. I tried the beef chow fun and fried rice that seems to be made with roe. My son got himself some chicken wings as well. I have to say what I tried was tasty and would try other items as well if ever in the area. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover as this cafe looks like a hole in the wall within an outdated plaza. Their extensive menu included LOTS of photos in English/Chinese written at affordable prices compared to competitors. My 2 friends arrived earlier this week around 5:45pm and were seated immediately. We all chose a dish, and shared family-style. I chose the wintermelon dish and was pleasantly surprised that it came with rice noodles. This dish was flavorful and not overly greasy. The mushroom tofu stir fry was also tasty, but I thought there was too much sauce on it. This dish pairs nicely with rice, and I ate it with the omelet fried rice. This omelet fried rice already tastes great as a stand-alone entree. The crispy salt & pepper fish had a nice crunch and was not overly battered or greasy, which is always a plus. This wasn't my favorite, but that's only because I'm not that into fried foods. My friends really enjoyed this entree. Overall, we all enjoyed our meal and thought the price was really reasonable. Service is so-so, but most people know that authentic Chinese food restaurants don't include the best service and that's part of the experience. I'd happily eat here again. #19/2022 read more

Worst service ever. Lady so rude with so much attitude. Not a big fan of Chinese food and will never go back here. SMH I came in and she automatically talk so aggressively in Chinese to me and I'm not even Chinese . I would give a no star .food nahh never again. Soggy eggplant. Beef curry with hella fatty pieces.. waste of food and money. Never came back to check on the table, they obviously don't care. They are so miserable working here lol, all mad from the moment you come in and leave read more

They are a pretty good restaurant. I buy food from them quite often. I would have given them 4 stars but a few nights ago I bought walnut prawns and the prawns were so old so bad so fishy, I gagged. I ate one and my husband ate one, that's it. We didn't want to end up in the emergency room. They know these prawns were old but they still sold them to us. Since we ordered take out, they figured 90% customers won't take it back. We didn't. The dish was not cheap. So if they want to scam their regular customers, I have words for them, I won't go back and you should think about before buying take out from them. read more

Ordered delivery from Sisi's a few times and I always end up getting gravy style shrimp with scrambled egg chow fun as one of my entrees. They always do such a great job. I usually add some white pepper and chili oil as I eat :) Great portion size. Bf got the beef stew pan fry noodle today and that was pretty good as well. They separated the beef stew so the pan fry would remain pan fry ;) I've also ordered their baked pork chop, braised pork belly with preserved veggies, and hong kong style cold milk tea. All yummy. Overall, great choice for some comfort food. read more

I had Grubhub credit from work and actually ordered here twice! First time I ordered, I used the delivery service, which tacts on at least 20% more to the overall price! That's whacked but this is the price you pay for contactless and seamless service! The second time I ordered, I picked it up myself to avoid all those extra fees that doesn't seem worth it since the location is close to me. But the drawback is you have to face shitty customer service. NOT even a HI, BYE or THANK YOU came out of the staff :(. Their saving grace is the food... :) Scrambled eggs with shrimp chow fun - so slippery, so tasty, so much cholesterol, and would order again and again as a staple. Tasty and good looking. :) Seafood Clay Pot - full of seafood and tofu. Comfort food! :) Beef stew - tender cuts of beef swimming in yummy gravy with pieces of cooked lettuce. The salt level on their dishes is just right, meaning it's not salty as heck and dosed with soy sauce. Glad I was able to discover this place on Grubhub... now they will be part of my restaurant rotation. read more

Came here on a weekday and it was packed. Probably because there's no other Hong Kong style cafe nearby. Had their baked pork chop fried rice and the portion size was good but the chop was pan fried vs. deep fried making it more tough to chew. The tomato sauce was good and not too sweet like Venus cafe. Also had their beef brisket noodle soup and the broth was luke warm. They were definitely rushed to get things out to us. TLDR, will only return if I am in the neighborhood and having real cravings for Hong Kong style food. read more
