My mom and I come here whenever we are in the Sacramento, and it is one of our favorite local spots for hk cafe style food. For thos visit, we ordered the pork chop noodle soup, fried chicken noodle soup, and the curry fish balls. For drinks we got the hk style coffee milk tea and the lemon tea. The portions of the noodle soups are large and we both had leftovers to take home, and the fried chicken was huge. Everything tasted good as usual. read more

Amazing food and service. Conveniently located next to a supermarket. Will definitely come back to try more.

The dog and bear ice were cute and a nice one time experience for a good Yelp picture. But, it was not easy to eat nor did it really taste like anything. The teppan set was delicious with just the right amount of seasoning. I loved that the skillet was hot enough to make some of the rice crispy. I've been to Singapore and I was totally missing Laksa and theirs hit the spot. The sparkling Mango soda was very refreshing and would be a great option for the summer. Looking forward to going back and trying other items. The place opens at 11 and they got packed quick and I can see why! read more

First time here. Great food and good service. Food: - Fried tofu: crunchy and well seasoned. Definitely get again. - Popcorn chicken: top tier, crunchy, chunky, seasoned. What more can you ask for. Would get again - Fried calamari: just ok. Batter was good but the calamari itself was stringy. Would get again only to see if this is how it is all the time. - Sizzling beef plate: soooo good! Love the sauce. It's on the sweeter side. I would have liked to leave the rice on there a little longer to get it crisp up a bit more. Would definitely get again. Drink: - Thai tea with dog: thai tea was standard. They didn't have the dog so they gave me a cat. The cat was a frozen slush. Which is cool! read more

The restaurant is literally in front of 99 Ranch, not off to one side. That three me off when I was looking for it. It is fairly small but people are in and out so there was no wait while I was there. I had the calamari starter which was okay and nothing special. For my main I had the pork chop with tomato sauce and cheese over rice. The rice is actually a fried rice and was pretty good by itself. The pork chop is tender and flavorful but there's not enough compared to the amount of rice served...good thing the rice was good by itself. I also tried my friend's fried rice and it was very good but again nothing out of the ordinary. What tickled me was my Thai ice tea with a "dog" ice. It looked more like a kitten to me but still cute. The ice tea was tasty too so bonus. read more

There was no wait when we came in for lunch on Saturday. But it was almost all full. Service was quick and efficient. Lots of options on the menu. All the food came out and it was delicious. Fried foods were perfect and crucnhy. Sizzling dishes had great flavor. Skewers were perfectly cooked. Portions were generous, we had lots of leftovers! The beverages were super cute, although on the sweeter side. read more

This cafe is right next to (connected to) 99 Ranch. From the outside, it doesnt look like anything special but what got me here were Yelp reviews and I was not disappointed. The handmade noodles were delicious with the right amount of chewyness and the sauce was perfect. I do prefer spice so asked for chili sauce and what they gave me was super spicy! I think next time I am in thr area, I will come by to try their desserts! The popcorn chicken was perfect as well. Do not sit on this place and go eat there. read more

The Flame Cafe - Handmade noodles with beef, popcorn chicken, hot HK milk tea - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Sacramento, California

Conveniently located next to Ranch 99, Flame Cafe offers a variety of Hong Kong cafe staples. We had no trouble quickly getting a table when we came before noon, but I've seen lines before during the lunch rush. I ordered the toast, curry beef brisket, baked pork chop with rice, and baked fish fillet with cream sauce. The portions are ample, and the taste is decent. Nothing that will knock your socks off but enough to satisfy that HK food craving. read more

Flame Cafe has a great, cozy atmosphere, totally giving homey vibes with all the cute decorations everywhere. Festive LED lights brightening the rom while calm songs playing in the background.. just great! I ordered the Beef chow fun and pork chop baked rice. The pork chop baked rice is authentic, specially because the rice underneath is fried rice and not basic white rice. One thing to add is that there isn't enough sauce. Sauce gave the traditional cha chaan teng flavor though. The beef chow fun serving is kind of small, and the beef is kind of chewy. Staff is attentive, good experience overall. read more

As far as honest truthful review goes, this restaurant's service and dishes were very disappointing. The atmosphere is Hong Kong style cafe, the ambiance, the sound system is all great but the songs that were broadcasted included profanity and it was loud volume like a concert. The food were really really underwhelming. The white sauce corn and fried fish baked rice tasted bland. The fried rice was bland. There was no sauce visible white sauce on the baked rice. It came out in less than 10 mins after ordering. I don't know if you tried baked rice at other restaurants but the speed the dish came out is obviously not a baked rice dish. Another thing ordered was curry beef stew with spaghetti-- the curry was very thin and lacked any flavor, the beef stew was all skinny lean beef stew pieces, the carrots tasted bland like they just added them into the curry separately, the potatoes were fried and then added to the curry separately as well. I didn't take a photo of the curry beef stew when it was came out but it was literally in big cappuccino cups--very difficult to eat so I asked the server for a big metal bowl instead. Never returning. 99% of the 5 star reviews on Yelp for this establishment is fake. read more

​The Vibe: Cha Chaan Teng chic. The Strategy: Eat first, regret nothing later. My Therapist Recommended This (Okay, I recommended it to myself) ​Forget yoga. Forget meditation apps. If you are having a bad week, the cure is sitting right here in this classic hk dish. ​I call this the "Emotional Support Combo". ​The Baked Pork Chop Rice: It's basically a warm hug made of cheese and tomato sauce. The pork is tender, the rice is fluffy, and the sauce is tangy enough to make you forget your problems. ​The Milk Tea: Silky smooth and served in that iconic Black & White cup. It calms the soul while simultaneously waking up the brain. ​The staff here are basically the care team--they saw my empty water glass and refilled it before I even asked. ​Total cost: Way less than a co-pay. Side effects: Extreme happiness and a full belly. ​Absolute comfort food heaven. My diet starts tomorrow (maybe). read more

This restaurant is for those that enjoy simple yet savory dishes. I can't speak on whether this Hong Kong style cafe serves authentic food or not, but what I can say is that I enjoyed every last bite. Three cup sauce chicken pot - Favorite out of the three items I tried. It's one of those dishes that you know comes packed with flavor just by looking at it. I recommend ordering some rice as well to soak up some of the savoriness. 5/5 Beef brisket and rice - Decent choice. Good texture, well seasoned. It's lathered in sauce, so not for those wanting something on the drier side. 4/5 Ice cream toast - A sweet treat that will satisfy most people. It admittedly looks quite funky, but the crispy toast compliments the ice cream well. 5/5 read more

Very good service! Our waiter kindly brought us an extra chair when they noticed I had a large backpack, even though we didn't ask. The food was excellent and full of flavor. Our go-to dishes are the beef stir-fried with handmade noodles, tom yum cream spaghetti, and popcorn chicken. Portions were generous and everything came out hot. Great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. We always come back! read more

I had an incredible meal here! The Beef Chow Fun (乾炒牛河) was perfect--full of 'wok hei' (that signature smoky flavor), the beef was tender, and the noodles weren't greasy at all. But the real showstopper was the Leaking Milk Toast (漏奶華). It was so indulgent and rich; cutting into it and seeing the milk lava flow out was the highlight of the night. If you have a sweet tooth, you cannot miss this. read more

This place is located right in front of 99 Ranch. The vibe is nice. They have cool decor like bear bricks. I only tried their Baked Seafood with rice and it was amazing! It had fish, calamari, and shrimp in it. Everything had the perfect mix and texture. Pro tip: ask for hot sauce and it takes it to the next level. The food came out quick and it was served fresh and hot! Service was great also. It filled me up but I wanted to keep eating because it was so good. I will definitely come back to try other items. If you've never been to Hong Kong, eating here will give you a glimpse of their amazing food. It's that authentic. read more

Came here for lunch and got the Thai tea with dog! It's so cute! But somehow it's not a dog but a bear!! Got the beef brisket noodle and chicken steak teppan . they sizzle in front of you which did splash on us a little. So sit further away! The beef brisket was not as tender as I'd like. The noodle was a bit too soggy. The chicken steak teppan was good. Huge bowl of rice. If you should your yelp, you get a lemon ice tea and it came with the dog!! The price is very affordable compared to the Bay Area. Will definitely come back to try other things if in the area. read more

好食，抵食 Pork chop in tomato sauce was one of my fav take out items from 大家樂 when i was at school. The pork chop here brought back so many fond memories. We ordered the seafood in cheese cream sauce as well, and some garlic chicken wings. I think both baked rice items are spot on and quite a bargain. The chicken wings are also pretty good, relatively less good value. The service was perfect, and the place is cleaner and more spacious than a typical HK 茶餐廳 read more

Came here on a pleasant Sunday afternoon and was seated right away--no wait at all. There were four of us, but since we weren't too hungry, we decided to share two entrées and one appetizer: the curry fishballs, beef sizzling plate, and creamy seafood baked pasta. The sizzling plate was nicely presented and mixed tableside by the server, though I didn't try it myself since I don't eat red meat. The curry fishballs arrived hot and flavorful--not overly salty, but nothing particularly standout either. My favorite by far was the baked seafood pasta. The seafood tasted fresh (which I'd expect given they're attached to an Asian grocery store!) and the cream-to-pasta ratio was spot on. I also appreciated that none of the dishes were overly salty. The interior felt clean and modern. While the restaurant is on the smaller side, it still managed to feel cozy without feeling cramped. Overall, I'd definitely return to try more of their dishes! :) read more

It's nice to find a Hong Kong style cafe around Sacramento. It's located next to the 99 Ranch Market. They had the usual baked dishes along with the signature Hong Kong teas. The service was fast considering the fact that there was only one person bussing and waiting tables when we came in. read more

Greeted upon arrival. It was noon on a Saturday, and the place was packed. The host asked if had a reservation. I said no, but we were fortunate enough to get the last open table. The restaurant is decorated for the holiday. Love the other decorations, too. We ordered baked seafood with cheese cream sauce over spaghetti, teppan steak set (cooked medium) with rice on the side, beef brisket with noodle soup, garlic chicken wings, and milk tea with bear. The fish was surprisingly crispy in the baked seafood dish. Shrimp were huge. The cheese topping really makes this dish yummy. The teppan steak was cooked perfectly. Beef brisket noodle soup was flavorful and just right for this chilly day. The bear just chilling in the milk tea brought smiles to everyone at the table. The service is fast and friendly here. They turn over tables quickly so don't be discouraged if there is a line. Thanks, Regina, for suggesting this one! read more

If you're in the mood for Hong Kong style comfort food, The Flame Cafe has you covered! Located in a large plaza with other shops, parking is plentiful. Walk towards 99 ranch market as if you're going inside, and you'll see the front door for the Flame Cafe. The place itself is small offering about 12 tables. Arriving around 11:40 AM on a Saturday there was no wait, but as we were leaving, there was a waitlist starting to form. We ordered the Hong Kong style milk tea with bear, Hong Kong style French toast, garlic chicken wings, and baked tomato pork chop. All of these items are recommended and popular. The Hong Kong style milk tea is adorable and the black tea is strong. It's creamy, sweet, but not overly sweet. Since we didn't ask about any sweetness adjustments, I was anticipating it to be quite sweet but was surprised it wasn't THAT sweet. As a person who loves their boba at 30% sweetness, this felt more of a 50-60% sweetness level. They add a lot of ice so there is not too much of the drink itself. The Hong Kong style French toast was a treat. Perfect eggy batter with a light crisp and fluffy bread interior. A dab of butter and syrup and its chefs kiss. The baked spaghetti tomato pork chop has a sweeter tomato sauce. The cheese becomes ooey gooey and the noodles had a great al dente texture. Some of the pork pieces were on the tougher/fattier side, but overall a good comfort dish. The garlic chicken wings had good flavor, were tender and moist inside, and a decent crisp on the outside. The batter is light. Service was quick and efficient. Food came out pretty fast and we were in and out in under 45 minutes. I don't get to see Hong Kong style cafes often so this was a treat to dine here. 3 items + a drink was $42 before tip. Would recommend to anyone looking for Hong Kong style comfort food! read more

It's been a while since my last visit because of work, but I came back to The Flame Cafe today and the food was just as good as ever. The mala chicken pot and the laksa noodles are still my top picks. Both dishes were packed with flavor and so satisfying. Jimmy, our waiter, was also very polite, attentive, and thoughtful. His service was warm and accommodating, which made the whole dining experience even better. I'm so glad I came back, and I'll definitely return again. read more

I went here with my family, hoping to reminisce our time and vacation in hong kong. This place did not disappoint! My parents are extremely picky and have high standards for quality of food, and they really enjoyed this place! We got the popcorn chicken, beef brisket noodle soup, baked pork chop in tomato sauce, teppan sliced beef rice, tomyum seafood noodle soup and the chicken steak curry. The porportions are pretty big, and prices were reasonable and affordable. I do recommend their beef brisket soup and the tomyum seafood noodle soup, they was very flavorful, and cooked well. The baked pork chop in tomato sauce w/ rice was good as well, although I wish they added more cheese and I should of got spaghetti instead. The teppan beef was not bad, I feel like they sauces could of been better, as it just tasted like soy sauce and that's it. The curry dish was pretty good as well, although we did not anticipate it being so spicy. If you love spicy food, then you'll like this dish. Popcorn chicken was standard, pretty good to snack on, but didn't stand out to me compared to the ones from t4. Service was standard, it was nice that the staff were all multilingual and my family were able to converse with them in english, cantonese and mandarin. Ambiance is casual. The restaurant might be a bit difficult to locate but it is convenient that it is located right next to 99 ranch, and its the perfect place to eat after getting groceries! read more

Located next to Ranch99 so we stopped for lunch. It was very busy but wait was fairly quick. We ordered the Signature Spicy Mala Chicken Pot and the Braised Pork with Rice. We did a review and got the cute iced tea (it was kind of sweet for me). The Braised Pork has some flavors but unfortunately it was mainly a rice dish. The ratio is too much rice. The chicken pot was pretty good. I love the Sichuan spice in it. Well i love a anything spicy so this checks the box for me. It was super oily though. There was also a lot of small and pokey bones so BE CAREFUL! Would try other dishes/drinks again! read more
