Restaurant Cafe Hong kong style cafe

👍 Another found of a decent HK style cafe. Rather than just eating at the usual few like Garden and Tasty, we have an alternative to rotate now. Honestly the food here is much better than the typical cafe. They are in par with Henry’s in Alhambra without the high prices. I love their oxtail with red...

    Another found of a decent HK style cafe. Rather than just eating at the usual few like Garden and Tasty, we have an alternative to rotate now. Honestly the food here is much better than the typical cafe. They are in par with Henry’s in Alhambra without the high prices. I love their oxtail with red wine sauce. The oxtails were tender and very flavorful with the red wine sauce. It’s perfect to go with rice. The fried udon with black pepper was fantastic. The black pepper gave a kick to elevate the flavors of the dish. For drinks, you have to get their red bean and ice lemon tea. They costed only $1.99 with an other of a main dish. The ice lemon is unlimited in refills. Parking is very convenient as it’s located in a big shopping center.

    Great place to eat Chinese Family Style! Delicious Hong Kong food. Each entree came with a discounted drink! Highly recommend the chicken wings for an appetizer! The curry was also very delicious! Roasted string beans are also my favorite!! Left with a happy tummy!

    We've ate at this restaurant twice during our visit. the atmosphere is okay, it looks clean and table were not too close. Some food is okay and the portion is generous, but the flavor is on the lower side. Our breakfast instant noodle soup is very water down but the tea base for milk tea is good. It might be just our luck that they forget part of our order at both visits.

    So happy to find another good HK cafe in the area since my all time fave (Hong Kong cafe) closed. I knew they had to be legit the moment I saw that they used those boat shaped plates for their baked dishes 🤣

    This is a nice Cantonese restaurant with Western characteristics. The $14.95 Special combination Filet Mignon cubes with Chicken Steak was delicious and the Chicken Curry + Pork Chops were fantastic. Also recommend the Mango slush. Service was fast and friendly with plentiful free parking.

    The food taste are very good and I have been here several time. The concern is the cleanliness of their utensils and dinnerwares. I usually find food residuals/greases on plates and bugs in beverage. I think the owner should pay attention to these which are serious issues.

    Came here for lunch at friend's suggestion, we arrived at noon, got a buzzer and waited about half an hour for a table. Everything tasted good, everyone got a small cup of cream corn soup for free, very authentic Cantonese food and had plenty of left overs to go, would come back again.

    Great Hong Kong style cafe and restaurant. Delicious lunch specials everyday. The baked pork chop was great. Their ox tongue dishes are popular too. Also the lemon ice tea is a must try. Long wait to get a seat, they seem understaffed.

    Its pan-fried sorrel fish is delicious. The broccoli, corn kernels, and shiitake mushrooms are all eaten, and the soup is also served.

    E.A.T. Bistro is officially off my breakfast list. The thousand year old egg and pork porridge was bland, watery, and had at most 1/3 of an egg. My go-to is typically Chan Kee for porridge and this one is no comparison. The milk tea was on point. I chose the radish cake as my side and it was decent (not enough radish and texture was off). I have had lunch here before and recall it was pretty good, so would return for lunch.

    One of my to go place for hong kong style cafe! Their fried calamari is the best! I love their curry dishes and baked pork chop rice as well... :)

    Good food, good portions, great value. Like many Asian cafe restaurants, lunch specials are well priced and come with soups of the day. If you can, avoid the lunch rush for best service. We went right after lunch so the lunch crowd was gone and didn't have to wait for a table. Service and food was pretty good and fast. Plenty of parking. Again, it helps to avoid the lunch rush if you can.

    This E.A.T Bistro took over from Lido. Their western fusion dishes are a failure and not recommended. Sick to their Chinese dishes. The Ribeye with 2 eggs ordered medium came out well done and sliced very thin. It comes with cream soup and corn. The fried sole fillet was over-fried, for a few more dollars we had baby scallops added. The scallops are also over-fried. I had Roasted Salmon. It came out over-fried, dried-out and in small portions. Not worth it here. You can get much better Western/Asian fusion deals at U2 and dishes at Baccali.

    Not a bad place, but desperately need a few more servers to provide decent service, too slow, too crowded. Food wise not as good as Garden Cafe. I rather pay a few bucks more & go to Garden Cafe instead. Probably will not be back.

    First time here after friends' raving reviews. Best HK-styled cafe food in a longggggg time in LA. Impressive. Will definitely go back. One weird thing: the AC was full on tonight at 5 pm (it's already very cool outside!) and it was freezing, but they put outdoor heaters INDOOR to warm people up? 😅

    Wow. What a place. Just about everything you can think of. Jook, fried fish, chicken steak, lo bak goh(turnip cake) bolo bao (pineapple bun)with butter, stir fried Cabbage with bacon, yiu choy with mushrooms, milk tea, regular tea, coffee, macaroni soup, toast, eggs, bacon, sausage. Everyone's wish comes true here. Good service, nice atmosphere. Opens at 8 am.

    Enjoyed this HK style cafe. The food is decent with great flavor (maybe a bit in the saltier side) and large portions. There were couples, small families, young groups all dining here. They offer a separate lunch and dinner menu.

    I hope the boss is reading this because it will make them way ahead of his competition (see baked pork chop over rice comment) First let me mentioned that I'm from Nor Cal, so I don't have the luxury to try every HK style bistro to compare. I've been to 6 most popular one in LA and a few of them been around for ages. This one is new and it's my first time here. I'd say, I will come back here again just because it's better than all those are tried. Borscht Soup - I liked it. I've had better. But it's close enough that I enjoyed it. It's still missing certain flavor than the one I had in HK... But not sure what it is. Still not bad. Baked Portuguese style chicken rice - This was a surprise. We thought we ordered 焗葡國雞飯 but it turned out to be baked chicken in Portuguese sauce and then steam rice on the side. Usually, they stirred fried the rice and put the sauce on top and baked it. I think the waiter put the order wrong nonetheless, it's delicious though! The flavor is good chicken is tender using dark meat. Baked chicken steak over rice red sauce - The reason why I ordered chicken steak and not pork chop is because they are stupid. They refused to use pork cutlet for the pork chop (deep fried breaded boneless pork chop). It's stupid because they offered pork cutlet on other dish so I ordered to pay more but they said no can't do. May be it's the waiter issue again. The red sauce is ok. Again I've tasted better bury it's not bad. I wanted to say it lacks a little Worcestershire sauce and sugar (Did I just gave out the secret recipe for red sauce?😅) Crab fried rice - It's not like a traditional crab fried rice. The fried rice for good wok air 鑊氣 but the flavor is not what I expected. If they want to do crab fried rice Thai style, we need fish sauce 魚露. It looked like they do it with topiko. Those is the least flavorab
