Cash only, bill £30 for 2 people, so far my favorite Chinese in Southampton. And I tried all of them. Good quality food, huge portions, all seem to be fresh. I enjoyed my food a lot and I could easily share my meal with another person, so watch out for the amount of food you order. I am not sure why such a low rating to be honest but I really enjoyed. My partner didn’t like much his dish because I believe he was just unlucky with his choice and didn’t understand the taste. I had sweet and sour pork and egg fried rice. Super tasty.

Good place to try really authentic Hong King’s style Cha Chaan Teng food. The Fried Pork Chop in Ginger and Spring Onion oil with Rice is exceptionally good, even better than many restaurant in Hong Kong.

A mixture of Asian cuisine. Tried to order hotpot but they concluded that they only do that when they aren't busy, 70% of the seats were taken during the time. Instead tried the spicy noodles with the triple roast which had the perfect amount of spice. Only issue was that it had a high leftover oil. Other than that, I would vouch for it. The spicy beef noodle soup was sweet and spicy. The shrimp was very salty and priced at a meal even though it was a side dish. Will go again to try the hotpot.

The food is nice and price is reasonable. When we were looking for Chinese food for our dinner on our first day in Southampton, luckily we found this shop and some more we can have Malaysian Chinese style food there. Believe the owner is Malaysian and thus we feel very close to them because we also Malaysian :)

Accidentally found this place during our trip to England. Very authentic Hongkongist type of everyday food. Consider the living standard I'm England, price is reasonable, very big portion of food. Owner and servers are nice. I will recommend this place for Hong Kong it's for sure.

An absolutely fantastic restaurant serving a wide array of Asian foods ranging from Malaysian, Singaporean, Thai and Chinese cuisines. Food was top notch and reminicent of the meals I had during my travels in Asia. Truly well worth the price paid. Also, service was quick and efficient. However, I wish there was a mention of their cash only policy on their website or when my partner called for table reservation as that would've saved us from going back out to look for cash points.

The cafe serves authentic and classic Hong Kong style tea house (茶餐廳) food. I would highly recommend the HK tea, crispy pork chop bun, French toast, fried beef ho fun, baked pork chop rice and iced red bean coconut drink. Staff are very friendly and service is fast.

Authentic Hong Kong Chaa Tseng Teng food. Reasonable price:portion ratio. Friendly boss. Good hygiene. Spacious with Lennon wall. Add oil~Lo

Good portions. Tasty food. Really impressed with the sauce flavours they offer. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Their food is is really worth the price you pay. Recommended. Will be back again the next time we're in town

Good size portion, had Singapore rice vermicelli. Good amount of prawns, pork and fried eggs. Taste 4.5 on the dish.

New HK cafe’s food is really over priced, quality is worse than previous Malaysian restaurant. £3 extra for special drinks, I’d rather buy proper bubble tea from chatime / ding tea nearby.

My partner is Malaysian and we were both very impressed with the Malaysian food offerings. Will definitely be going back !

I have always loved this place when I was younger, coming back recently as an adult with my partner, it still feels the same as it did back then. I always ordee the sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice, so that’s what I ordered, and it was amazing. Still taste the same, flavourful, sweet but not too sour, the chicken was tender and easy to chew, the rice was airy and fluffy. My partner had the stir fried noodles, which tasted okay, but nothing exciting or too extravagant about it. Overall, I love my dish. The service was fast, we were seated quickly, and staff were pleasant but can be more attentive and interactive.

I entered the restaurant around 3pm on a Saturday, hoping to savor some authentic Cantonese afternoon tea. We were aware that 3 pm might not be the ideal time, as some restaurants close after lunch and reopen for dinner. However, the female owner graciously welcomed us to the establishment. As I was enjoying my tea, a female waitress used the Cantonese idiom '阻人收工 猶如殺人父母,' which translates to 'Interfering with my end-of-shift routine is as grave as killing my parents.' This idiom underscores the importance of not hindering someone in their work or livelihood, and it added an extra layer of authenticity to the Cantonese-style experience. To avoid causing any inconvenience to the young lady, I decided to quickly finish my meal and pack anything that I could consume within approximately 5 minutes. Apart from the restaurant's political stance on Hong Kong politics, I struggled to find reasons to revisit this supposedly 'warm' and 'welcoming' place.

Very good food for a very fair price! They also take credit card payment. Greetings from Germany

The food was delicious, the portions very big... as you can see in the photos. I might add that I didn't spend much. It was very cheap.

Great food, a good throwback to classic Hong Kong style cafes

Very tasty and authentic Hong Kong food 💛(unlike other chinese takeaways) and friendly staffs 💛 Recommend The classic Satay Beef Ramen

The food was so delicious! We enjoyed everything! The lomi and duck was a star plus iced tea

HK Cafe provides Southampton with a refreshing Menu and a good choice of HK-Style comfort foods. The food is great, at however, a slightly raised price. The upside is that the milk tea is refillable, which you can’t get anywhere else in Southampton. I’d highly recommend getting the HK-Style french toast. Service is great and decorations are nice. Delivery options are also good.

Best Malaysian food in Southampton, food tasted so traditional! WARNING: CASH ONLY!

Had the laksa, didn’t really taste like Malaysian laksa but would say it was a good bowl of spicy noodles? A little pricey as well

The food was good. Prices a bit high but not exorbitant. We noticed that we were the only ones in the restaurant who seemed to be actual customers and not friends or relatives dining and keeping restaurant from being empty. We were told about a deal for free beverages with a dinner order. My son got a milk tea, I ordered coffee which was instant - obvious from the powdered coffee visible at the top of the cup. No napkins until I asked for them. When I asked for my bill, a waitress showed me a scrap of paper with the cost I owed written on it ( no itemized bill) and told me I would pay either with cash or "direct bank transfer of funds." I kid you not. I could hardly believe my ears. I am there in town 1 day before a cruise and I am not about to give her or anyone else running a questionable business my bank account numbers. I walked up the street and got cash from an ATM. Nothing wrong with asking for cash, but customers should be informed before they are seated. Not spring this when they ask for the check. As for wanting access into my financial account, this is sketchy beyond belief. The waitress who was charged with telling me this was very young, apologetic and clearly being made to do this by the owner or manager. Beware of this place.

Best baked pork chop rice with tomato sauce I’ve ever had in UK! The Hong Kong style milk tea is very authentic which cannot be missed. Definitely recommend if you want to try delicious and real Hong Kong style / Cantonese food! The staff is friendly and super helpful as well.
