If you're searching for a terrific late-night food deal, visit Milk & Co Cafe after 8:30 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.! We tasted the Crispy Pork Knuckle for only $9.99 -- what a deal! The skin was extremely crispy and crunchy, and the meat within was exceptionally soft and delicious. When combined with the savory sauce and sauerkraut vegetables, everything works so wonderfully. For only $9.99, the portion, flavor, and quality are well worth it. Perfect for a late-night meal when you're starving but don't want to spend a lot. read more

The food is good. The flat noodles stuff with shrimp, beef, and cha siu did not fail. My little girls LOVE their won ton noodle. The service though, holy cow...I may as well be tipping myself. It was SO slow and so directed. You would think when I ask for utensils for the kids they would bring the same amount of forks and spoons, or when I ask for boxes to go that the check would come with it, or after I put my cc on the bill they would come collect it. It was very frustrating especially when I'm with my kids. I wouldn't come back with kids, it's too much trouble. And no, it wasn't super crowded and short staffed. read more

A group of people stopped by around 8:30pm with a faction of them lured in by the cafe's Tomato Sauce Baked Pork Chops Over Rice for $7.99. I was one of those faction members, and though I was going to give their Hainan Chicken a go, it dawned on me that I just had chicken recently. Others at the table ordered dishes like Typhoon Shelter Style King Prawns, Sampan Seafood Congee, Wonton Noodle Soup, Pineapple Buns with Butter, Milk Tea, and Crushed Ice with Lychee. When I ordered in Cantonese, I was happy to hear them repeat the order in a direct, no-nonsense tone. As it should be! Decorated with things like neon-styled signs on the ceiling, an old-fashioned telephone, and a birdcage, this place goes heavy on the culture and perhaps nostalgia. As such, clips of a live concert with karaoke were playing on the TV with songstresses like Teresa Cheung belting out tunes from a bygone era of TVB. Food came out decently fast considering our party size. The pork chop was sliced to bite-sized pieces hiding in a generous pool of tomato sauce that tasted mildly creamy with a hint of tangy ketchup. Good comfort food for what it was and filled me up, as I'd have hoped. Others enjoyed their selection, though I was told the ice with lychee tasted lacked flavor and needed a hit of condensed milk. Overall with competitive prices, fast service, and a decent menu, I'd say it's a win. read more

Milk & Co Cafe - Baked pork rice - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Milk and Co Cafe is a great option if you're looking for good portions at very reasonable prices. They offer all-day specials along with lunch specials, making it easy to get a filling meal without spending much. We ordered the beef rice noodle roll, wonton noodle soup, baked pork chop with tomato sauce over rice, eggplant Szechuan style, sweet and sour fish fillet, Kung Pao chicken, salt and pepper squid, and the Peking-style pork chop. The standout for me was the beef rice noodle roll. The wrapper was silky smooth, the beef was tender, and it's hard to beat for only $3.99. The wonton noodle soup was another great value at $6.99, coming with a generous amount of noodles and large, meaty wontons in a hot, flavorful broth. The baked pork chop with tomato sauce over rice was also solid--the pork was lean, well-seasoned, and paired nicely with the tomato sauce. The lunch specials were surprisingly large and served family-style, so they're perfect for sharing if you're dining with a group. We had more than enough food for the table. Service was efficient, and the food came out quickly despite ordering several dishes. If you're in the Monterey Park area and want a casual Hong Kong-style café with generous portions and affordable prices, Milk and Co Cafe is definitely worth a visit. read more

I was going through liking photos taken and shared by fellow Yelpers. Thank you! I saw a great looking photo of wonton egg noodles. I'm a big fan of them. I knew I had to check out Milk & Co Cafe in Monterey Park. I find their biz name to be interesting and unique for a Hong Kong style eatery. I'm sure there is a story behind it. I did take-out instead of dine-in that night. I called ahead to order two Wonton Egg Noodle Soup. Spoke to a nice lady. Parking is available behind the restaurant. You can't really see the parking lot well when you're on Garvey Ave, but it's there. Upon entry, gentleman staff greeted me and asked how many people. I informed him I was picking up. My order was ready upon arrival. Lady staff at cashier was not the friendliest looking. I'm not sure if she was the one who took my order or what. I paid for my order and left. I didn't bother to take photos of the inside. Interior decor was very Hong Kong style inspired. I'll snap photos next time. Huge and tasty wontons complemented by plenty of egg noodles. Unfortunately, the soup was a bit bland. Price per bowl was super reasonable. It was $7.99 each totaling $15.45 which is not bad at all. It reminded me of the good old days when a bowl of noodles were less than $10 each. Nowadays it's a whole different era for a majority of restaurants. I want to return for a dine-in experience in hopes for better tasting dishes. read more

I had been wanting to try Milk & Co. Cafe since they opened, and my family finally stopped by for a light dinner. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by some of the poorest service I have ever encountered. From the start, it was nearly impossible to get a server's attention, even though there were two staff members working nearby. When we finally managed to order, the staff were unfriendly and inattentive. We ordered the Beef Chow Fun ($16.99) and the wonton soup special ($5.99). While the portion size of the soup was a good value, the broth was watery and overly salty, and I wouldn't order it again. The Beef Chow Fun was particularly disappointing; when it arrived, I discovered a hair in the dish. While my wife kindly asked for it to be remade, the replacement was quite oily and came back quite fast. Additionally, we had to go out of our way to request water, and when the server finally brought it, she simply threw the straws onto our table. We received no apology for the hair in our food or the lack of attentiveness throughout the meal. Given the abundance of other excellent Hong Kong and Cantonese restaurants in the area, we will not be returning to Milk & Co. Cafe. The lackluster service made this a truly frustrating experience. read more

We tried their $5.99 wonton noodle soup promotion that most foodie influencers from LA were talking about. It was a good deal, which was difficult to find in the Bay Area in this economy. The shrimp and pork wontons were big and delicious, and the wonton noodles were firm. We also got the curry beef with potatoes, which came with a complimentary pot of steamed rice that can feed a whole family of 10. The curry beef was alright, nothing special. As for dessert, we topped it off with a big glass of red bean shaved ice without ice cream. It was really sweet with sweet condensed milk and sweetened red beans. Overall, the servers were fast, and the food came out quickly. The portions were so big that the three of us couldn't finish the curry beef and rice. I prefer to go here only for the wonton noodle soup. The rest of the dishes were decent. Small restaurant with a Hong Kong decor with small parking. read more

I'm going to say a 3.5 for this Hong Kong style Café. We were nearby running errands and I had a craving for wonton noodles, and Yelp brought us here. Inside, there are booth seating on one side and open tables on the other. We had a booth. Service was fairly pleasant as our server rushed to place a part of what we wanted while we studied the menu for more items. Based on other reviews of rude service, we didn't get that from the few we interacted with. But a guy that appears to be the manager was very unpleasant, so that could've been it. The food came out rather quickly. We got two bowls of wonton noodles and they hit the spot. The wontons were huge and very good. Usually, I'm not a fan of rice rolls, but this one changed my mind as there were plenty of chopped beef and the rice roll itself was nice and soft, unlike the firm chewy ones I've had elsewhere. We also ordered a fish fillet and black bean sauce. It was covered with onions as seen in photo, but there were plenty of fish buried underneath. Another dish was the steamed mincemeat with salted egg. This was overcooked as the meat was a little bit dry and firm. Milk & Co. is a decent place to grab some HK style food while in Monterey Park, but I wouldn't make a special trip out here. read more

Milk & Co is okay. Social media's been hyping them up with their "recession" deals. Yes the baked pork chop dish is $7.99, but y'all don't realize is that there's a lot of rice and bits and pieces of pork chop with bone. The steamed beef noodles for $3.99 is pretty good. Their steaks are average as well. It's your typical Chinese cafe with decent food. Service was also okay, there were 3 wait staff running around taking orders and cleaning everything up. I think there are other cafes in the area that have better food, Milk & Co wasn't that bad, could be better. read more

I've been wanting to come here for so long! I originally heard about their opening over Chinese radio podcast. Also saw lots of advertising on Instagram from food bloggers about the pricing. There is a parking lot dedicated to the restaurant. Definitely your basic HK cafe experience with so many menu options. The place is clean, there's plenty of seating, and staff is friendly and nice. They did not rush us out the door like other restaurants. It wasn't too busy for lunch time. Portions were large for price and the food was delicious! Shrimp rice roll had a chewy outside and was freshly made. The sauce was not overly salty or sweet. The shrimp itself were large and perfectly done. HK style noodle was held its own flavor for each individual ingredient. The soup itself was clear and light. The noodles were snappy and not soggy. Hot HK milk tea was not sweet. Condensed milk is available on the table to be added for extra taste. Overall such a cute HK cafe with fantastic food, service, and pricing. Hope to be back soon! read more

Their wonton noodle soup is so good and such a steal at $6 for dine-in and $7 to go. There were five ginormous wontons, and they were SUCCULENT, not overcooked to bring out a hint of sweetness from the meat. The broth was also delicious. I got the other two specials to go: pork chop in tomato sauce and beef rice rolls. The former was a bit tough to chew, while the latter was satisfyingly thin and loaded with meat. I will definitely be back for more wonton noodle soup and beef rice rolls. read more

Wait wasn't too bad when we went around 11am. Gets packed and they'll ask you to leave once you've finished and paid. The line gets long. They have specials that's worth it! We got three of the wonton noodle soup, an order of steamed rice noodle roll with beef, baked pork chop with tomato sauce on rice, typhoon shrimp, and some drinks. It came out to less than $70. We had a lot of leftovers. So for the price, it was a steal! Can't wait to go back. read more

Here to review the dinner! Most entrees start at $16.99. Place is clean with quirky decor, very interesting to look at. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered the hainan chicken, salted fish & chicken fried rice, and garlic steak rice. Portions are family friendly. The hainan chicken ($16.99) had good quality chicken and was pleasantly surprised it was paired with a yellow ginger rice. Not so pleasantly surprised with the random cuts of lettuce and tomato on the side. Was hoping for a pickled veggie... or at the very least, some dressing? Garlic steak rice ($15.99) was an easy favorite! The rice was tossed with garlic, mushrooms, and green onion, plus a raw egg yolk at the center. The steak pieces were grilled nicely, medium rare, with some crispy edges and fatty pieces. Yum! Most lackluster was the salted fish and chicken fried rice ($16.99). Pretty solid, but parents critique was that the rice is too wet/clumpy for it to be a genuine fried rice. Can't wait to try their famous breakfast! But don't sleep on their dinner menu either! read more

Cute little remodeled cantonese food spot that reminds you of Hong Kong! Really like the decor and the milk tea cups. Service is typical nothing stood out, but pleasant enough.

New restaurant name, maybe new owner? What brought me here was the low price on wonton noodle soup $5.99, beef cherngfun $3.99, and baked pork chop $7.99 !! I saw (and was sent) so many IG reels about this place on Garvey Ave in Monterey Park. I ordered all three items. Honestly the worst was the wonton noodle. I had the wonton noodle soup from Sam Woo the night before, so I had something recent to compare. The one from Sam Woo tasted soo much better! The soup here was lacking flavor; the wontons were lacking flavor and lukewarm in the center; the wonton skin was wrong. I cannot recommend this. They charge $6.99 if you get this to-go. The baked pork chop dish was ok. The rice isn't flavored, but overall it's ok. They cut up the pork chop here. The beef Chang fun had so much raw cilantro. This was the only one of the three I really liked though. The lunch specials look good. It comes with soup and drink. Plenty of parking in their private backlot. Restroom available. It's pretty clean inside with new chairs and tables. Servers speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. read more

3.7 stars When they first opened, my mom and I stopped by, but it was too crowded, parking was nonexistent, and the wait time was 45 minutes. So we left with the hope of coming back at a later date. A couple months later, we came back today, but we came in the afternoon to take advantage of their tea time menu. And I have to say I was pretty impressed with their food. This is what we ordered: Wonton Noodle Soup ($5.99): One of the best value meals on the menu. The noodles are plentiful and there are 5 pieces of wontons. The size of the wontons are generous! 4/5 stars Pork Chop Rice w/ Tomato Sauce ($7.99): Another best value meal of the menu. This place did an incredible job with this dish. The pork chop was quite tender when compared to other restaurants. The sauce really tied everything together. 5/5 stars Curry Fishball, French Toast, and drink combo ($10.99): this is a tea time combo that came with the french toast and a drink. The curry sauce is quite nice, however, the fishballs didn't have as much of a bounce to it. But it still tasted really good. 4/5 stars French toast: This was delicious! The bread was a good quality and the syrup didn't feel overly sweet. 5/5 stars Lemon Tea: One of the lightest teas I've had, but it was still very refreshing. 3.5/5 stars Service: it wasn't terrible, but no matter how long I kept my arm up, the servers just ignored me. There was a lady at the register, a server, and someone who brought the food to our table (Idk what position that is). And all 3 ladies ignored us when we wanted to place our order. They eventually took our order, but I thought it was strange that they couldn't see us even when they kept passing by us. Additionally, 2 of the ladies wore blue gloves, but they never changed it. They handled fresh plates of food, dirty plates, wiped tables, and handled cash/payment with the same blue gloves on. Now, maybe they're short-staffed, but that is still a little gross for me to see them do everything without changing gloves or washing their hands. They can improve in this area. 2/5 stars There is free parking and on site and free street parking. read more

I've been wanting to try this place ever since I saw their specials on YouTube. It's only $5.99 for wonton noodles and $7.99 for baked pork chop rice, so I definitely wanted to see if they were worth it. However, I had seen reviews mentioning long lines and chaotic management, which is why I hadn't visited until today. I decided to come during afternoon tea time, hoping that the in-between period would mean a shorter line. Luckily, there was no line at all. Parking was also easy since they have their own lot. The decor has a lot of Hong Kong elements, including local food and street names. The restaurant is actually bigger than I expected, and they even have a private VIP room, which is great for family gatherings. Their afternoon tea menu is quite extensive. I was determined to try the specials, so I ordered the wonton noodle soup and beef rice rolls. My friend got the baked spaghetti Bolognese with iced lemon tea. I'm a big fan of wonton noodle soup in general, and I liked that the wontons had more meat instead of mostly shrimp. However, the soup has a bit of an acquired taste, so I probably wouldn't order it again. The beef rice rolls were okay--there wasn't a lot of beef, but given the price, it felt fair. My friend, on the other hand, really liked the spaghetti Bolognese, both in taste and portion size--it was about twice the size of what you'd get at U2 Cafe, which makes it a great value. The iced lemon tea tasted just as good as at other Hong Kong cafes. Overall, given the price, it's still great value in this economy. The staff are friendly, but they don't provide Wi-Fi for customers. I can't wait to come back and try the baked pork chop rice. read more

I saw a few videos about this restaurant that had specials for certain dishes, so I came to visit with my family. We came on a Sunday around 6pm, and there was ample free parking. Inside, it was not too crowded, and we were seated immediately. Service was no-frills, very quick and efficient. We ordered 2 beef cheung funs, 2 wonton noodle soups, 1 baked pork chop over rice, and 1 Typhoon shrimp. Excluding the shrimp, everything was super affordable! Our food came out pretty fast. Beef cheung fun ($3.99 each): 5/5. My family all enjoyed this dish and thought it was super tasty for the value! No notes. Wonton noodle soup ($5.99 each): 3.5/5. For the price, the portion was generous! Taste-wise, it was decent. Wontons were big, and they were tasty. Noodles were fine, but the soup was a bit lacking. It wasn't super flavorful. Baked pork chop over rice ($7.99): 4/5. Taste was good, and again, portion was generous. However, there weren't many pieces of pork while there was a ton of rice underneath. Typhoon shrimp ($17.99): 3.5/5. We ordered this based on our waiter's recommendation. Portion was decent as it came with 14 shrimps. I enjoyed the flavor, but according to my mom, she thought the shrimp didn't taste "shrimpy" lol. I do think this dish is pricey, and it didn't taste anything special, so I wouldn't order it again. Overall, this cafe is nothing to write home about, BUT for the price, it's good! If I were to come back again, I'd just order the beef cheung fun and the baked pork chop over rice. I would recommend trying this cafe since it's so affordable. read more

After some historical events we don't talk about, we didn't revisit this place for years -- even though it changed hands more times than a hot potato at a family reunion. The food is okay. Solidly mid-range among all the Hong Kong style cafes in this area, but hey, it's on the cheaper side, so no complaints. We ordered three dishes, including a wonton noodle soup from their "special menu" ($5.99 each -- so special it almost felt like a typo), plus three drinks. Total bill came to $52 before tip. We even had leftovers, which either means the portions are generous or we have smaller eyes than we thought. The dining room is a bit crowded. They tried to jazz it up with some LED boards, but honestly, it just made the place feel like a teenager's bedroom threw up on the walls. Vibes: attempted, but not achieved. read more

I came here for the first time. The interior decors of this restaurant reminded me of cafes in Hong Kong. It was a Monday; we didn't have to wait to be seated during lunch time. They offer three specials available all day. We ordered two out of the three specials: Baked pork chop over rice (in tomato sauce) and rice roll with beef. We also ordered the salt and pepper shrimp. Here is what I thought of each dish. Baked pork chop over rice (3/5). The portion is very generous. As for the taste, I have had better. It was not bad. Average in terms of taste but great deal for the price. It was only $7.99. Rice roll with beef (4/5). I liked this dish. This is my favorite dish of this meal. Rice roll has good consistency and beef tasted fresh. It was only $3.99. Terrific deal. Salt and pepper shrimp (3.5/5). The shrimps were big and it was fried to a nice crispy exterior. However I thought it was under seasoned. It could have used a bit more salt. We also ordered 2 hot coffee which the waitress gave us hot milk tea instead. We decided to keep the milk tea instead of changing it. I thought the milk tea tasted weak. It does not have much tea flavor to it. (3/5) Overall we had a pleasant time. Service was average. Food was average. But with very good prices and a clean environment, I would come back to try other dishes on the menu. They also offer afternoon tea specials from 3-5pm if you happened to be in the area at that time. read more

My family and I learned about this place through word of mouth of others. Apparently, they have 3 specials throughout the day, which are baked pork chop in tomato sauce with rice, wonton noodle soup, beef with rice noodles. We ordered one of each. Out of the 3 specials, I prefer the pork chop rice over the other two. The rice and sauce are good. The pork chop is acceptable although there are a few pieces with just fat. The wonton noodle soup is alright. The wonton has a unique taste to it. As far as the beef cilantro rice roll, it's alright. Service is good. The staff there are quite helpful. Also, there was no lines so that's another plus. So if your wally is a bit tight and you're not too picky, this is a really good choice. read more

$4.99 wontons noodles?? Get outta my way...lol This place was busy! It was chaotic from start to end lol I knew there would be a line, but I didn't think it would be so unorganized. There was no staff in front so I just wrote my name and took a number lol one of the male staffs came out and joked about it. We did the work for him lol They were calling the numbers in order until they didn't. One lady staff came out and started calling parties of 3, 5, then 4. WTH??? People started to complain. Her explanation was a bit ridiculous. She said that they only had those tables available so she couldn't seat the party of 2. The customers were upset. Some even barged inside the restaurant. All the tables were similar. Except the bigger ones. Most table could sit 2-4 people. Customers noticed that so they complained again. So the staff went back to calling the numbers in order. Smh We finally got seated after about 45min - an hr wait. Once we ordered, the foods took a long time to arrive. It was a mess lol we had nothing then the staffs were bringing out items nonstop lol we had to tell them that we didn't order it or we already had it. $4.99 wontons noodles were so worth it. It came with 5 wontons. The portion was good. Flavor was decent. We also ordered the porridge combo - morning promotion! For $8.99, we got the bone porridge, beef rice rolls, and an iced lemon tea. Strange that they didn't allow us to get a hot drink with the combo. Must be iced lemon tea or iced milk tea. They have other deals going on as well. However, we ordered what we think we can finish. lol it was still a lot of food. Porridge was good. The bone was not that edible tho. We ordered a cilantro rice rolls. Both rice rolls were somewhat bland. I had to dip it in soy sauce and hot chilies. The staffs were so busy that they left their smiles somewhere. Don't expect great service. Most likely you won't get it. Esp., if they are super busy! Small parking so street parking recommended. RR avail. When I went, it was decent. I heard it can get pretty dirty. Go early lol read more

My first time trying Milk & Co Cafe in Monterey Park with my mom. I was told that they are fairly new, so they have some crazy promotion deals, such as $4.99 for a wonton noodle soup, and $7.99 for a baked tomato pork chop rice, etc. We were there on Sunday around 1:30 p.m., and it had many people waiting there. The interior had a fun vibe with some cool decorations and reminded me of some Hong Kong cafes. We waited about 15 minutes, and the server asked if anyone did not mind table sharing. (table sharing- we called daap toi in Hong Kong, it's a very common and fast-paced dining custom in Hong Kong cha chaan tengs (tea cafes), sitting with strangers to maximize limited space and reduce waiting times). It was a bit awkward, but my mom and I did not mind, and we wanted to order our food quickly. Of course, we ordered their special promotions, a wonton noodle soup, tomato baked pork chop rice, and we also ordered minced pork rice with double eggs ($12.99) for both of us. All the orders came in generous portions. The wonton noodle soup had a lot of noodles inside, and it had five big wontons. The portion was big, and you may want to share it with someone. However, the noodles and wonton were not bad, but it was great for the value wise. I liked the tomato-baked pork chop rice the most, even though it took a while to make. The pork chop meat was tender, and the taste was flavorful. Lastly, the minced pork rice with double eggs was also tasty. I wish that it had some veggies on it, though. What do they need to improve? The service and wait time, and they need to be more organized. It was a bit chaotic because they were busy and they had such crazy deals. For $4.99 wonton noodle soup and $7.99 tomato baked pork chop rice, they were so worth it. The parking lot is small, so I had to park my car on the street. It's a new business, so I hope that they can do well. Note: For this special wonton noodle soup promotion, they have some restrictions. You can only order one bowl of wonton noodle soup if you have two people. For 3-4 people, you can order two bowls of wonton noodle soup; for 4-8 people, you can order three bowls of wonton noodle soup; and for 8 or more people can order four bowls of wonton noodle soup. read more

Milk & Co Cafe - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

If you want a true experience of what a chaotic, noisy, authentic true to life Hong Kong cafe is like, then you're in luck here. I've come twice, and each time it's been the same. Do not expect attentive service. Do not expect cleanliness. Do not expect to be taken care of at first glance. Expect your order to maybe be missing something. But hey, they'll gladly give your check and take your payment without hesitation! The food is cheap, yes, and the portions are sizable. The food is your typical HK-style cafe fare as well. However, the other aspects of this cafe leaves much to be desired. For one, EVERYONE in the SGV seems to know about their $4.99 wonton noodle and $3.99 steamed beef noodle roll special, along with their $8.99 breakfast pork bone congee/beef rice roll combo. That means an uncertain wait time at all times of day with little semblance of a proper queue, and tables that are not cleared promptly while you wonder when you'll get seated. The servers are also all over the place as well. It's as if they used AI to generate a formula for *just* enough servers and kitchen staff to just run a restaurant, while cutting costs wherever possible. It shows: staff constantly yelling over one another, some looking they'd rather be elsewhere, and overall not really having a system in place to keep all customers happy. Also the food takes a long time to arrive, so be ready for that. The food is a slight redeeming point. The $4.99 wonton noodles are alright, with the plump wontons and tender, chewy noodles being served in a surprisingly lukewarm broth. The rice rolls are NOT available either past a certain time or until they run out, so expect disappointment if you come before 6pm and they are out. I have yet to try the rest of the menu. However, given the experience I've had here, I doubt this will be in my SGV HK cafe rotation in the future unless their other service aspects change. Come at your own risk, come with an open mind, and be ready to question how could a place like this be open in the first place. read more

Milk & Co Cafe - Chicken steak with spaghetti, and tomato sauce pork chop on fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Came here because of the hype. To be honest I was a little disappointed with the food itself. All the stuff we got was drenched in tomato sauce and sugar. I think they also either didn't add the peanut butter or added too little to our toast. Maybe this is how the dishes are supposed to be, but it wasn't very palatable for us. They also took a really long time to get out our order. It's got the typical Hong Kong cafe vibes. Make sure you check in with the guy at the front and get a ticket if there's a line. One pro I guess is the prices and maybe the experience. They have different menus so be aware of that (breakfast, lunch, general). Because I heard good things about this place, I want to give it another shot. I also saw their breakfast menu which looks pretty good. read more

Came on a weekday during lunch time and had to wait about 30 mins. Expect a line on weekdays and weekends as they are popular right now for their cheap prices! Parking: small parking lot available Food: tried the famous $4.99 wonton noodle soup. For the price and portion, I have nothing to complain! It's pretty good! Also saw a lot of tables order the chicken dish with onion which was very tasty! Service is a bit slow but very friendly staff. Overall a great spot with good deals. read more

Another nicely decorated HK Cafe with authentic HK cafe food. Nice staff and bring food quick. Ok so they have an "afternoon tea" special and prices are very reasonable. My eyes were bigger than my stomach of course. Got to take things home. read more

Went here on a whim on a Friday night after seeing a post on IG. The draw was that this was a new restaurant offering $5 dishes. Upon arriving, the restaurant/decor/operations/staff felt like they had been operating the restaurant for the past 30 years. It wasn't bad - it felt like a comfy HK cafe much like any other in MP; it just didn't feel new nor clean, per se. The good part: food is good. Got the fried tofu, steamed fish, sweet and sour pork, and sticky rice. All of the food was top notch. The not-so-good: they definitely did not have anything resembling $5 when we were there. Everything was menu price ($15-30 range). Also, they must have been busy because even though we went around 8:30 PM they were literally sold out of almost the entire menu; completely sold out of all soups, all noodle dishes, all congee, etc... This caused much grief for the staff, who turned away 90% of the customers that arrived after us. The (random) few guests they sat were only able to pick from a very short list of items that the kitchen had ingredients to make. Some staff were noticeably short tempered, while others were extremely nice but look completely exhausted and beaten to a pulp and trying to hold it (and the restaurant) together. Props to our server who was in the latter category - wish I got his name. I made sure to tip him well. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back, at least until they get their act together. But one day, I do want to get their super soft fried tofu, again. Free parking lot in the back. read more

I heard about this place opening and came on a sunday afternoon around 1:30pm. This place was packed and I finally got a seat around 2:00pm. I ordered a mince meat rice with fried egg, beef cheung fun, and baked pork chop rice. The orders were very slow to come out and service being all over the place. The mince meat rice came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The cheung fun came 30 minutes after. Their baked pork chop rice ended up becoming pasta because they ran out of rice. Aside from the service mess, the food was actually pretty tasty. The mince meat rice was very flavorful and went well with the fried egg. The baked pork chop pasta was relatively close to what I would get in HK, missing just the pineapple. The portion sizes were also huge. Overall, good food but disastrous opening. I will update my review once the hype dies down and I can come actually try their baked pork chop rice. read more

Finally, I have a chance to try this new eatery - Milk & Co. I guess it wants the customer to link this to the (澳洲牛奶公司） in HK, which of course is not. Previously, it was Yau Ma Tei and now replace by this restaurant. The inside of the restaurant has a bit of HK feel with different HK places name. This restaurant has a couple of daily special which I think is a good deal. The wonton soup (it has five wontons, I ate one before I took the photo), which only $4.99. It tasted delicious. It also has baked pork chop rice for $7.99. Breakfast special - pork bone congee with beef rice rolls, plus a cold drink for $8.99. However, the congee is not as tasty as I thought. The taste is a little bland. It also has a lunch special until 6 p.m. The service is attentive and polite. read more

Large portions, free white rice and reasonably priced drinks. Milk & Co Cafe is a fun lunch spot with a nice parking lot and great vibe. We ordered the following: Steamed Rice rolls with bbq pork Wonton Soup String Beans Salt and Pepper Pork Chop (Cut up) Two milk teas Enough food for I would say 3 people for $50 is great for lunch. The food was done well. The milk tea coffee combo wasn't too sweet. I was expecting it to be cheap cheap, but you do get a lot for what you pay for, so it's worth a visit. Would love to go with someone who's more familiar with the menu to take advantage of their specials read more

I found out that Yau Ma Tei restaurant had recently changed their name to Milk & Co Cafe and started a breakfast menu. I decided to come here with my family to try their new breakfast menu. The breakfast is from 8 to 11 AM, and after that is their lunch menu with Cantonese food. They have a special right now of pork bone congee, beef rice noodle roll, and an iced lemon tea that is a very good deal, so we got that. We also shared a beef tendon and shrimp wonton noodle, as well as a breakfast combo of char siu and hot dog with instant noodles that comes with a side of eggs and toast. The breakfast combo was fairly standard, one that I've had at many Hong Kong cafes. The toast was very generously buttered which added to the flavor. The beef rice noodle roll was my favorite, and the rice noodle roll tasted like it was freshly made from scratch. Rest of the items were fairly solid. read more
