The service was excellent from start to…read morefinish--everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The food also came out surprisingly fast, even though the restaurant was pretty busy. The seafood was definitely the highlight. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, from the fish to the shrimp, and you could really tell they use quality ingredients. We also loved how much variety there was on the menu. Whether you're in the mood for seafood, barbecue, noodles, or classic Cantonese dishes, there's something for everyone, making it a great spot for groups. Overall, we'd definitely come back. Between the fresh seafood, wide selection of dishes, and consistently great service, Ho Kee is an easy recommendation if you're looking for a solid Cantonese meal in the Arcadia area.

We came in for brunch, and every dish reminded me why I enjoy classic Cantonese comfort food. We ordered four dishes, and each one brought something different to the table. The century egg and minced pork porridge was the perfect way to start the meal. It tasted just like home cooking and instantly brought back childhood memories. It was warm, comforting, well-seasoned, and executed exactly the way this classic dish should be. My favorite dish of the day was the shrimp chow fun with egg sauce. The rice noodles were silky smooth, the egg gravy was rich, velvety, and packed with flavor, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked--firm, fresh, and tender. Every bite was comforting and incredibly satisfying. We also ordered the wonton noodle soup. It was good and definitely hit the spot, especially if you're looking for something light and comforting. I did feel like it could have used just a little more to make it truly memorable, but it was still an enjoyable bowl. The last dish was the salted fish and chicken with tofu, which is something I order almost every time I see it on a Chinese restaurant menu. It's a simple dish, but when it's done well, it's absolutely delicious. Ho Kee Cafe did not disappoint. The salted fish added just the right amount of savory flavor, the chicken was tender, the tofu was silky, and spooning everything over steamed rice made for the perfect bite. A special shout-out to our server, Vivian! She was warm, personable, and incredibly hospitable throughout our meal. She checked on us often, made sure we had everything we needed, and her friendly personality made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Ho Kee Cafe is a wonderful local spot for authentic Cantonese comfort food. Between the delicious food, generous portions, welcoming service, and convenient location with ample parking, it's definitely a place I'll continue coming back to. If you visit, don't skip the shrimp chow fun with egg sauce--it was the standout dish of the meal!

We were literally just…read morehere a couple of weeks ago, living our best noodle life, and now it's gone like a ghosted situationship!! I'm now brokenhearted!!! :( We came back ready to reunite with that soy sauce chow mein.... simple, no nonsense, just noodles, bean sprouts, and onions doing exactly what they're supposed to do: minding their business and tasting amazing!! No extra veggies crashing the party and watering things down. As it should be!! And the siu mai? Solid, dependable, and absolutely did not disappoint!!! The kind of duo you start planning your next meal around... until the restaurant disappears on you. Now I'm just here, craving noodles and questioning how a place that serves delicious food would close down!!!!

The food is consistently good, honestly better than a lot of nearby places that charge quite a bit more. What won me over right away, though, was the breakfast combo. Two dim sum items and a hot drink for just $14 is a genuinely good deal. A cold drink is only $1 more (typical HK practice), and you can also take your drink to go for another $1, which is a nice little convenience. I'm pretty particular about milk tea, so I don't say this lightly: their half coffee, half milk tea really hits the spot every time. It's balanced, and satisfying. Beyond the combo, they also serve all the comfort staples, porridge, fried chow mein, Chinese donuts, and my personal favorite, rice noodles with a variety of fillings. It delivers the same comforting flavors you want from a casual dim sum-style breakfast, but without the inflated prices, long waits, and hectic atmosphere that have become so common at more traditional dim sum spots. This place is a solid, dependable replacement for the usual dim sum experience. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. The driveway can be a little tricky. It sits right next to the Taco Bell drive-through exit, separated only by a fire hydrant, so it's easy to miss or get confused when pulling in. But it's a small tradeoff for a spot that delivers this much value and consistency.

Compared to many traditional dim sum restaurants, this one offers a more intimate dining experience. Instead of servers pushing carts around the dining room, you simply mark your selections on a paper order sheet. Occasionally, someone will still come by with freshly steamed buns or specialty items to see if you'd like any. The restaurant was clean, the service was efficient, and our food arrived quickly. If you're planning to visit on a Saturday, I'd recommend arriving before noon to beat the lunch rush. Also I noticed they had a couple of private rooms on the way to the restroom. One thing that really stood out was the impressive variety of buns and dumplings. There were so many different options that I found myself taking more photos than mental notes! While I'm not enough of a dim sum expert to remember all the names, I've enjoyed dim sum throughout my life, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Overall, Capital Seafood is a solid choice if you're looking for quality dim sum in a comfortable, relaxed setting.

Orange flavored chicken was amazing, crispy and not too drenched in too much sweet sauce. Favorite was beef brisket with curry sauce over rice. Wonton soup was decent.

So we decided to see if they can accommodate a party of 11. We were seated right away eventhough the table was reserved for another party. We ordered several dishes to share. My favorite had to been the salted fish fried rice with chicken, sautéed eggplants with pork, orange chicken, sweet n sour soup, and fried fish with sweet n sour sauce. My least favorite dish was the salt n pepper porkchop, French beef and salt n pepper fried shrimp. The French beef/ shaken beef was too peppery. Overall I highly recommend this place for family dinners, events and etc. Food was satisfying, flavorful, not greasy, perfectly battered, crispy, and great price.

Well, sadly it now seems to be a thing of the past Full House, if you see this review, please consider bringing the dim sum carts back!! Tip of the Day!!!! They have $3 dim sum between 2:30- 3pm. So go around to their booth in the food court area. There is usually a line formed for these yummy discounted dim sum so get there early to get dibs!

The ambiance, red, gold, and silver walls will keep you immersed while dining. the waiters speak Cantonese and they also communicate effectively in English. anyone can tell they've had a lot of experience over the years. they're attentive, swift, and courteous which is pretty generous in Chinese culture. order the xiang pian hot tea when they ask you. it's tastes like jasmine tea.

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.
