    Yummy cantonese diner food with a modern interior space! They have lots of options on the menu and a lot of the food we tried was pretty good. I like the sweet and sour pork ribs and the pork chop dish! They were very helpful with our large party and provided quick service to our group

    I stopped by last week for lunch . The service was quick & friendly . I ordered the beef hotpot with noodles & tea . Price point was the same as other spots . The portion of beef was very little compared to the mountain of Napa cabbage its was 80% vegetables and not even 1/4 of beef or any proteins . I saw in my pot was a quail egg & imitation crab sticks and fish cake , tofu and just way too much of Napa cabbage o my & a few fresh pieces of tomatoes. The hot pot was very mid and lacked flavor and only thing I'd say was good is food came out quick & service & friendly staff this place as far as food goes isn't bad isn't the best it was mid for me . It was busy because if their lunch special it came in waves . I won't be coming here again.

    Hong Kong Cafe provides for a convenient and quick meal if you're on the go (and super hungry). This one is located in the City of Walnut within walking distance of Mt. Sac. The interior includes an old school phone booth, as well as neon lights and other OG cantonese design on the wall and throughout the restaurant. We ordered almost everything on the menu, including baked pork chop, pasta, curry, beef clay pot, charsiu bao, and several other dishes. In terms of food, it is very similar to some of the other solid cantonese restaurants, Tasty Garden, DFC, and countless ones in MKP. There's no outstanding dish, but nothing to avoid either, at least from the ones we ordered. Service is generally quick but you do have to make an effort to get their attention.

    Nostalgic Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng vibes in SoCal!!! Located in the City of Walnut, the moment I stepped in, as a Hongkonger, I just couldn't resist snapping some good shots haha I was feeling under the weather that day, so I was really happy to have some comforting food. Our all-time favorite: the baked pork chop spaghetti -- such a big portion and perfect for the whole family to enjoy! Their lunch special is only $14 -- we had the minced pork rice with milk tea. There's also a huge variety of drinks. My kid got her Milo, and I tried the new goji and red date tea -- so soothing and healing. A sick day made better with comfort food. IG: socalhkfoodies

    I've been Hong Kong Cafe a few times and I've never been disappointed. The service is always great and the food is always delicious. Ambience wise, this place isn't much, but I don't care about ambience when the food is this good.

    Great value and great food in this Hong Kong style cafe. We went around 10am Sunday and it was not busy, and it was not busy throughout. As usual for these types of places, you need to flag down a server to fulfill requests, but these and the food are served very quickly. There's breakfast/lunch specials where drink is included or discounted, and there is food on the main menu that is pricier but larger portions and more lunch/dinner regular items. We got the chicken steak with mushroom sauce, beef chow fun, and chicken steak with pineapple bun. The latter 2 came with drinks at a discount - $1.95 surcharge for either hot or cold drink so we got 1 hot and 1 cold milk tea. The biggest value factor is that drinks are unlimited refills upon request. Chicken steak is pretty solid, though a bit more fat than I would have liked. Mushroom sauce is decent. The beef chow fun is large portions with generous amounts of beef. The noodles are cooked to a nice al dente texture. Chicken steak with pineapple bun is huge. It's good but something I don't plan to other again due to redundancy of the dishes we got. All the food is well priced in comparison to neighboring HK cafes, so this edges higher in the ranking of these places in SoCal.

    Wanted to stay local for dinner while visiting home and Hong Kong Cafe did not disappoint!! I haven't been here since the old ownership, and this was soo much better. The restaurant is clean, decor is nice, and service was fast and friendly. Nice portion sizes on all the food as well, and drinks were tasty too. I had the Grilled Chicken Steak with Black Pepper Sauce, which was one of the best I've had. The skin was crispy, while the chicken was still juicy. The sizzling steak was also really tender! We all split a Spam & Egg Sandwich in a Bolo Bun too, and it was a super fun twist on a traditional breakfast pairing. Highly highly recommend to check out-- one of the best restaurants in Walnut!

    Ordered HK coffee tea.  Delicious

    Took my Mom on a little dinner date and I actually saw this posting on IG, but for the Monterey Park location. My mom didn't want to eat a lot so she ordered the chicken wings appetizer serving. She wanteda side of rice, soi decided to order a rice dish so I can give her some of my rice. I preferred the beef tongue rice combo. Service was great and food came fast. The ambience was very much like HK. My wife being from HK, I took a "just like home" picture. Reminded me more of an intimate Alice's kitchen.

    Chicken steak with mushroom sauce and spaghetti
    Laurent L.

    I really wanted to like this place and I had high hopes, but I was left feeling dissatisfied. The food is mediocre. We ordered a baked bolognaise, chicken steak with spaghetti and mushroom sauce, and pork chop/chicken steak with spaghetti and mushroom sauce. Also ordered a to go order of seafood noodles and fish clay pot on the side. The flavor of the bolognaise is bland and the noodles were overcooked. The chicken steak had a lot of fat. I wish it came with more veggies. The service was not very good. Food took forever to come out. They messed up our orders and we had to wait an additional 30 minutes for the take out after we had finished eating. They said the chefs had gotten confused. Overall, it did not meet my expectations. But I will try the other locations one day.

    Congee with chicken

    Hong Kong cafe is an authentic restaurant located in a large plaza in Walnut. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is nice and the restaurant has cozy vibes. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They had very delicious dishes to choose from. I was debating which dish I will order. Then I ordered many dishes to try. We had -Seafood chow Mein 5/5 It was delicious, filled with different types of seafood and vegetables. -Baked chicken with pasta 5/5 The dish was enormous. It was very savory and filled with generous amount of chicken pieces. -Pork simaui 5/5 Was fresh,rich, savory,had juicy and yummy fillings. -Pork Dumpling XLB 4/5 It was juicy and tasty. -Congee with chicken 5/5 Very comfort and soothing food, aromatic too, and filled with generous amount of chicken pieces. The service was fast. The server checked on us frequently. The quantity was enormous and great quality of food with unbeatable prices. We had such a pleasant time at Hong Kong cafe. I will be back for sure.

    The food came fast and was nice and flavorful ordered the hot & spicy beef tripe & tendon rice lunch platter. Food was cooked just right and the right amount of spice. Service was fast and the servers are very helpful. Great place the ambiance was peaceful not hectic at all plays soft music inside. Over all will be coming back here.

    The orange ice tea is bombbb. The chicken steak was cooked perfect, so crispy on the outside and chicken wasn't dry on the inside. The hotpot had lots of veggies which my wife liked.

    Great Hong Kong cafe in Walnut. They have multiple locations but this one is my favorite one. They have popcorn chicken here and sizzling steak plate. Popcorn chicken has good seasoning and crispy. The sizzling steak is a piece of fried steak and goes perfect with the black pepper sauce. Grilled onions underneath adding aromatics. The salted fish with chicken fried rice was also tasty from the salted fish. They add good amount of salted fish and rice fried well. Mixes even better with the chili oil they have! Quick service and still enjoy the HK decorations.

    This is one of our family favorites when we're craving some delicious HK food in the Rowland area…read more It's located in the old 99 cent plaza on the corner of Nogales/Colima at the very end. The parking is VERY bad here but you'll find parking if you go farther towards the supermarket side. Yes there is always a wait here especially on peak weekend hours but the lines move very fast. You do ideally need a mandarin/cantonese speaking person however since majority of the staff don't speak english if you need help. The menu is huge with all your traditional HK cafe foods including a separate breakfast and lunch menu. The must have beginner items are the Iced Lemon Tea or the HK Milk Tea. They have changed the policy so you only get ONE refill now then you'll be charged for the 2nd refill! There on-going promotion is BOGO 1/2 steamed chicken or add $3 if you want soy sauce chicken. A very common deal in the rowland area however this place isn't the BEST for steam chicken since its abit lacking in meat and flavor buts till a good deal for larger parties. The other go-to items here are the walnut shrimp, french style filet mignon, egg plant with garlic sauce casserole. Get the short rib version if you want more protein! All of these dishes are super authentic and delicious and very consistent every time! There are secret menu items not on the menu like the stir fry two types of noodle with salted vermicelli(咸魚肉片炒雙麵/炒雙營). It's a classic HK dish with thin egg noodle and chow mein noodle mixed together. This chow mein becomes super crispy while the egg noodle remains soft. The saltiness of the salted fish goes great as the main carb. The service here is great with very attentive waiters. Yes you need to be aggressive to get there attention like at all Cantonese restaurants! This place is great for small groups to very large parties since they large tables and even private rooms available too.

    For a late Sunday breakfast, I arrived at KW Cafe at 10:30AM. The establishment seemed over half…read morefull, but I received seating for a table of 2 immediately. I ordered the 鮮蝦餛飩湯麵 / shrimp wonton noodle soup ($13.99). This took about 15 minutes to arrive; when it did, it arrived piping hot. The noodles had decent spring and texture despite being thin. The wontons also had silky wrappers, but crucially didn't rip or disintegrate. The fillings also had properly flavorful and plump shrimp bits - no filler. The stock was also rich. This was textbook execution. In Cantonese fashion, the simplicity belies the execution and attention to detail. Note that the breakfast menu entrees include one hot drink (coffee, milk tea, HK style coffee & tea, Chinese tea, or lemon tea). 1 refill only, +$1.99 for cold drinks, +$1 for to-go cups.

    This is our second time here at Chan Kee on Golden Springs Drive. The place looks very dead/dark,…read moreand not like what it was over a year ago. Furnitures and decorations have been rearranged. It feels like they have more than enough seats & tables inside. Food prices are still reasonably affordable and foods are still delicious/authentic in taste. There used to be more employees inside, but today, we didn't see staffing at front counter. Ordered at self service kiosk. I had the all day daily breakfast quick fix: two eggs, hash brown, and toasted garlic baguettes. Simple breakfast much under $10. If I add a meat/sausage/SPAM/etc., I would pay a few bucks more. Everything tasted exactly as expected. Older Uncle cooking inside was busy and multiple tasking as usual with online app takeout orders. The beef macaroni soup was also exactly as described and comes with a beverage of choice (iced honey lemon beverage for us). Huge food portions. Good flavors. No complaints. Very satisfied. Maybe we are more simple to please with general Hong Kong street comfort foods. Overall, I do hope they can stay open and not shutdown like other locations during high inflation times. It's been comfortable dining inside each time. Uncles inside are hardworking folks. There were much lesser cars in the parking lot too. Different vibes compared to the first visit. Still yummy here.

I wanted to try Chan Kee in Monrovia but they closed down before I got the chance to. My friend who's had CK before said they've changed their menu and it was now pretty overwhelming. We ordered a congee with a side of saucy rice noodle rolls and a wonton beef stew noodle soup to share. You basically order the base (congee or noodle) then add the options for an extra charge. Each entree/side/drink combo came about to nearly $20. The rice noodles and wonton noodles were pretty good. They give alot of congee but taste was just okay. Decor was cute. Food didn't take too long to come out considering there was only one person working and it was also a random Monday afternoon. Overall, just okay and I feel like I could get tastier food for better prices in the mpk/sg/alhambra area.

However, we were extremely disappointed with the HK style noodle soup, which was the dish that we came for in the first place! Imagine the disappointment. It really just seemed like they added maybe an extra 4-5 spoonfuls of oil into our dish because it was a grease-fest. I thought my gf was being dramatic about it but I tried it myself, and literally had to soak my mouth with a napkin to get rid of the oil that layered my lips. See photos. When we brought this up to the male server, he said it was normal. I said that's weird but accepted it. He then saw me taking photos of my meal and then quickly came over and asked if I wanted a refill for my drink. Coincidence? Maybe. I brought it up again to the female server when I paid the bill, she was honest at least and said the dish isn't supposed to be that oily. If you're looking for actually delicious HK style noodles, I recommend going to KW Cafe on Colima. They have the exact same drinks, dishes (maybe even more), at the same price. The restaurant itself was pretty spacious and clean. Just what you'd expect from a typical Asian restaurant. I just can't get over how damn oily that soup was, that 1 sip I took literally went right my body as I write this review from their toilet.

Their HK style food is authentic and delicious. We started with the hot and sour soup and it is literally the best version we have ever had. It had a bit of the Szechuan numbing spice and was a huge portion so we took half home. We also ordered their steamed rice rolls with shrimp and chive and you can tell it was made fresh by the wrinkles in the rice paper. The last item we ordered was their chinese sausage clay pot. It was exactly what we were craving. Crispy rice all along the edges with perfectly steamed rice, chinese broccoli and crispy chinese sausage. It was hard to choose because their menu was huge and we came late so we missed the pineapple buns but definitely need to try it next time.

It took about ten minutes for us to get a booth table, but we were waiting inside. The staff member called numbers firstly in Cantonese then in English. After we sat down, the waiting line persisted past 1 pm. Similarly, the bustling loudness continued on during the course of our meal. Food arrived quickly, however. The price point for the delicious food is competitive. We got French-style filet mignon ($18.99), braised tofu in brown sauce ($14.99), chicken chow mein ($14.99), and a steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork ($5.99). A pot of rice was included in our meal. The steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork was a nice appetizer that arrived first. I enjoyed how the French-style filet mignon was garnished with Thai basil, black pepper, and ginger. The meat was flavorful and tender. The braised tofu in brown sauce was consistently hot on the inside. The delicious brown sauce soaked throughout the vegetables. The chicken chow mein didn't have a lot of sauce, but it was still delicious with a lot of meat included. Overall, it would be nice to visit again outside of a peak time because the food prices are competitive. The menu is expansive, and the breakfast selections look interesting. The atmosphere during the Sunday lunch peak time was consistently bustling. I think the restaurant started to play Chinese music loudly at random points so that people could finish dining more quickly.

    Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. Do not waste your time or money here…read more The moment we walked into Fu's Restaurant, it felt like stepping into a sauna. It was 79 degrees inside, muggy, humid, and completely uncomfortable. We almost turned around and left immediately. The place was practically empty, which honestly should have been our first red flag. We decided to give them a chance anyway. Big mistake. My colleague and I were offered water or hot tea. We both ordered hot tea. The menu clearly says in English that hot tea is $2.99. Nowhere does it clearly explain in English that you will be charged differently depending on how many people drink it. When the bill came, we were charged $5 each. Apparently, there is some clarification written in Chinese, but how are customers who do not read Chinese supposed to know that? That is completely misleading. The tea portions were not larger, not special, nothing different. Just basic tea. The pricing felt deceptive. We also ordered popcorn chicken and chili wonton soup. Both came out in tiny portions that looked like appetizers, yet the menu does not clearly label them as such. For what we received, paying over $30 total felt ridiculous. The food itself was mediocre at best. Nothing memorable and definitely not worth the price. Because of the uncomfortable temperature, confusing pricing, small portions, and average food, we chose not to leave a tip. As we were walking out, the waiter chased us outside and pressured us about the zero tip. That is completely inappropriate. Tipping is not mandatory. It is earned. Confronting customers outside over a tip is unprofessional and embarrassing. Between the heat, the questionable menu pricing, the small portions, and being confronted outside, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. We will never be back. There are plenty of better places within the same plaza than to dine here. I don't expect this place to last long anyway.

I also really appreciated the balanced portion control; it felt like just the right amount of food without being overwhelming. We were only ones in the restaurant near end of business on a Sunday night. Service speed was expected as cook to order. Definitely a good spot if you're looking for a simple and reasonable meal in Walnut or near Mt. San Antonio College. FYI photos are of the wall art, food was devoured.
