I need to confess something to you: I love Chinese food. However, it wasn't until the last few years where I've come to realize the distinctions between Hong Kong cuisine and mainland Chinese cuisine. It's been an exploration. But with each new Hong Kong style restaurant I try, the more expansive my view, and belly, get. Alice's Kitchen, specifically this one in Temple City, was a refreshing look at not just the food but the vibe as well. Design - Falling into a different world Walking into Alice's Kitchen from the back parking lot is like walking into a vibrant food court back in the 1980s. Bright neon signs are placed throughout the dining room floor, faux food stalls can be seen to give more of a community feel to the inside, and I love the sprawl of different props of newspapers, t-shirts hung on clotheslines, and big advertisements on the walls like you might see in a food court. It really elevated the atmosphere of the space and I loved their branded orange plates, bowls, spoons, and chopsticks. It gave whimsy to this place. Staff - Cool The staff here are like what you expect from any Chinese restaurant. You try to flag one down or grab their attention with your wandering eyes and when they come over you can tell them what you want. They take your order and usually within 5-7 minutes you'll start to see your food heading your way. Perfect for anyone hungry and dying to eat right away. When you ask for to-go boxes at the end of the meal (you definitely will) moments after you get your food packed someone will appear with a tablet ready for you to pay right there at the table. Talk about speed. Food - Onions galore I see that in Hong Kong cuisine there is this mix match of Western and Chinese tastes put together. This fusion of ideas is what brings something like their large pineapple bun sandwiches to existence. We got the BBQ pork (char siu) pineapple bun sandwich and this came warm with a fried egg, slab of butter, generous slices of BBQ pork, and a savory sauce. For one person, this could be a good main dish to be accompanied by a side. For this split between two people, this is a savory sweet dish perfect to wet the appetite. Highly recommend getting one of these. The sweet & sour pork was nostalgic to me. Served with chunks of white onion, green peppers, and pineapple the flavor of this reminded me very much of the sweet & sour pork Chinese-Korean restaurants serve, except for the color being different and no cabbage in the sauce. It has the sweetness brought out by the pineapple but still a bit of tang and deep savoriness of the pork with each bite. The onions were undercooked and you'll see this as a pattern for all their dishes containing onions. The French style filet mignon chunks were fantastic. Juicy and flavorful, each bite makes the mouth water more and more and the texture gave such pleasant mouth feels. The fried basil accompanying it also gave a burst of freshness and herbacious flavors. Just be careful not to accidentally bite into a chunk of ginger. Unless you love ginger. Then go right ahead. The beef chow fun with black bean sauce was great. Nice balance of their black bean sauce with the textures of the chunks of beef, the onions and peppers in this add a nice crunch and difference in flavor that balances all the savoriness. The tofu with spiced salt was also incredible. When I ate this still piping hot the crisp exterior with the hot soft interior made me smile. The spiced coating was flavorful and with some rice it gives a nice balance with each bite. Final Thoughts With all the food we got for dinner, I'm sure I leaned more into the Chinese cuisine side than the Hong Kong side. However, I was happy with the quality and depth of flavors in everything I had. Alice's Kitchen has definitely been one of the better Hong Kong restaurants I've had and I'm excited to explore more of this cuisine in the future. Can't wait to come back! read more

Looking for a good HK style cafe in Temple City? This is the place to go. Love the decor-- reminiscent of old skool Hong Kong 1960s cafes. Great service- waiters are always ready to help and cater to you. Large menu with lots of items and needs. Great value and excellent quality. Parking is good. Five stars. read more

My boyfriend wanted baked pork chop, so we came here. I've never been to Hong Kong so I don't know what it looks like. But when I walked in, it felt like I could've been in Hong Kong. It was colorful and had night time, street-like vibes. We ended up getting the baked pork chop with pasta. Flavor was good. Not as cheesy tasting as other places I've had it at, which is a good thing for me. In general, I think the baked pork chop with rice is better, since I feel the rice absorbs the flavor more. I also got the salt and pepper pork chop, which seemed to be a popular dish here. The pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Service was good. They even pack your leftover food for you. read more

This is a crazy outdoor vibe but indoors. It's like eating at an open market! Cute decor. Service was okay but can use some improvement. Didn't get a water refill. The food was great!

Had a great experience at Alice Kitchen for a family-style dinner. We made a reservation in advance for their 8-10 person set menu ($438), and it was definitely worth it. The biggest highlight is how convenient the set menu is--no need to think about what to order, and you get a wide variety of dishes. Every course we had was solid. Standouts for me included the braised pigeon, crispy beef brisket (crispy on the outside and tender inside), ginger scallion lobster, and the black truffle fried rice. The portions were generous, and everything came out well-prepared and flavorful. They also included a complimentary Ovaltine French toast for dessert, which was a nice sweet ending. We added the HK-style pork ribs as well, which were also very tasty. One thing to note: the restaurant is quite lively and can get a bit noisy, and there are no private rooms. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter setting. Overall, great food, good value for a large group, and a fun dining experience. Would definitely come back! read more

Located in Temple City (San Gabriel Valley LA) CA. Note that Temple City has a wok, and Monterey Park does not have wok. I brought some friends here. This is a Hong Kong cafe. Read the old review. We got some late after noon baked bolognese, chicken corn soup, singapore vermicelli, yu hsiang eggplant and the pineapple buns. I was with someone from Hong Kong, no complaints. We get the hong kong iced milk tea and the cold lemon iced tea. Service was pretty quick on weekday lunch. Will come again. read more

Just tried Alice Kitchen and it was fantastic. We ordered the seafood tofu hotpot, Hong Kong style stir fried spare ribs, and their most popular potato filet mignon cubes with house sauce. Everything came out hot and super flavorful. The seafood tofu hotpot was comforting and packed with ingredients, perfect with rice. The spare ribs had that classic Hong Kong wok flavor, savory, slightly sweet, and nicely caramelized. The highlight was definitely the potato filet mignon cubes with house sauce. The beef was tender and the sauce paired perfectly with the crispy potatoes. Great portions, authentic flavors, and solid service. Definitely a spot I would come back to when craving Hong Kong style food. Highly recommended! read more

Food is great and all, but I gotta bring it down to service and parking. Service: Their service isn't bad. But on a busy Sunday brunch it's just there's not enough staff to handle taking orders and kitchen staff make food. Combining both the waitlist and food arrival time takes an hour. The restaurant service was so busy that it took about 15 mins for our drinks to come to the table. Wonton noodle soup, egg noodles, +HK Ice Tea: Wontons were so flavorful and the egg noodles had the right amount of chewiness for their dish. Would recommend for someone that wants a flavorful hearty noodle dish. Jumbo Hong Kong Style Pineapple Bun Set and chicken steak: One of the most popular, would also recommend getting every single time. The HK Pineapple bun has the right amount of flakiness, sweetness paired with some savory chicken. Great alternative if you're in a burger/sandwich mood. Fish Filet Congee, Chinese Donut, +HK Ice Coffee: Chinese donut was superburb, soft and spongy with a light fried coating on the outside. Fish filet congee was light, congee had good amount of water to rice ratio. read more

Everyone was super friendly here. The place is pretty huge and they have enough employees to make sure your experience here is good! Unlimited refills for my HK Lemon Tea and you can adjust sweetness! All the food and dessert was so delicious I legit walked out holding my belly. Tables looks like authentic asian style tables! Brings back memories. Pricing is so affordable given a lot of other places are at $23+! Please support this place! Keep them open! Even their dishes are so huge! read more

Finally tried this Alice Kitchen in Temple City! Last time I was in town, it was a Wednesday and they were closed. We were lucky and found street parking close by on a Friday evening around 7:45. The decor is very cute and really made me feel like I was in Hong Kong where I grew up. The restaurant is very spacious with a lot of tables with reasonable spacing. I used to really like the Alice Kitchen in Monterey Park but was disappointed that they decided to get rid of all the wok fried items on the menu. So this time I decided to try my old favorites in this location. The two of us ordered a Beef Chow Fun, a Singapore Style Vermicelli, and a Congee with Fish Fillet. Food was good and satisfying. The congee was had good texture and came with a generous amount of fish fillets. The Beef Chow Fun was very tasty and the beef was tender. The Singapore Style Vermicelli came with a lot of shrimps, eggs, and BBQ pork. Unfortunately the shrimps were not totally fresh. I also felt like the curry taste was not as good as it was at the Monterey Park location. Service was very efficient and friendly. Prices were reasonable. read more

I've been to the Alice's Kitchen in Rosemead a few times since that's where I reside. This was the first time at the Temple City location. It's much more spacious. There are a lot of fun decorations that give it a true 90s Hong Kong Experience. I came here with a group of friends (7 of us) from my running group. We were seated quickly. There were many large tables available to accommodate groups. Once we ordered, the food came relatively quickly. The winning dish has to be the Filet Mignon with Mushroom and XO sauce. The meat was super tender and saucy - perfect over a bed of rice. I ordered the Beef Chow fun. A classic Hong Kong Cantonese dish. I thought it was ok. I had ordered before at the Alice's Kitchen in Rosemead, and I thought it was good - a little disappointed, that this dish was lacking during my visit. I assume they didn't use enough soy sauce. Our main server was this older lady. She was so rude. My friends were talking to her in Cantonese, and she seemed so bothered and snappy; like in true Hong Kong Cantonese fashion. She wasn't patient with our orders, she legit would walk away if we took a bit too long to respond and then come back and ask ---"so what is it that you want?" I'm not sure if I would brave through this place again if I didn't have people who spoke fluent Cantonese with me. I would be too afraid to order. read more

I think it's more hype than reality. It's located in downtown Temple City and limited parking spaces in the back. We ended up parking on the side street. We actually preferred the taste of delicious food corner more than Alice's kitchen. We tried a few dishes - see pictures. The lady who checked us in was very nice. They put a lot of effort and creativity in the deco. UNLIKE Delicious food corner, milk tea is not complimentary nor discounted. The tea doesn't taste well brewed like DFC read more

TL;DR - the inside is spacious and is built to look like the food courts of HK. Very broad menu. Can't miss! Rice porridge + pork + preserved egg is solid and can be shared. HK milk tea is a classic (be sure to sweeten it to your preferences with the condensed milk). The classic steak combo with filet mignon steak cubes was REALLY good, and a dish we will get again. This is such a cool location. I don't know how long this one has been here but it feels like they recently renovated or opened this store. I've been to a different Alice's Kitchen, but this one is just so much more spacious and modern. The inside looks like the streets of HK. The walls are lined with fake shops, doors, advertisements, etc that makes it feel like you're eating at a food court in HK lol If you've never been to Alice's Kitchen, then try to come sometime! Their menu is expansive and I've yet to try something I don't like. Service is always incredibly fast. Ambiance is on the noisier end but it's perfect for families. We got the rice porridge + pork + preserved egg. It's a solid dish if you're craving porridge. The bowl is large enough to share among 3-4 people (or all to yourself!) Try their HK milk tea. It's a classic. For those who have never had it, the tea also comes with a separate container of condensed milk. Pour as much as you like to sweeten it to your preferences. Otherwise it just tastes like bitter tea. We got the classic steak combo with filet mignon steak cubes. To our entertainment, the steaks were the farthest from being cube-shaped but the flavor, tenderness, perfect seasoning, and juiciness made up for it. This is something we'd definitely get again! read more

Tried Alice Kitchen and the chicken fried sandwich is the bomb--super juicy, flavorful, and just downright delicious. We also ordered the seafood fried rice noodles, which were pretty good, and the BBQ pork with scrambled eggs--tasty and satisfying.

Definitely a spot I'd come back to and explore more of the menu next time. read more

Pair it up with their popular Pineapple Bun or Ovaltine Toast, and you've got yourself a great comfort food meal. I tried their Beef with flat noodle and also really liked it.

This location had plenty of parking in the back and staff were quick to assist you. Their interior was very orange, haha. It felt like any other HK cafes, but the tables were just your basic round tables and chairs, nothing too fancy. Their lemon iced tea are unlimited refills, but it wasn't as sweet as most other HK cafes. I did use some sugar packets to sweeten it up a bit. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh! We tried their pineapple bun with barbeque pork and it wasn't like I imagined it would be. It was like a burger! The pineapple bun was the bread, inside contained an egg, bbq pork, and a tomato. The bbq was very savory and I thought it was great to eat as an open-faced sandwich. I didn't care for the tomato. We also ordered dry beef chow fun, crispy salt & pepper chicken wings (some of it were pretty spicy). We ordered their tofu and vegetable dish and it wasn't as crispy as I'd hope for, but it was still delicious. Steam rice came with the tofu dish. This was plenty of food for three adults (late 30s early 40s). I've never been and this was okay, a little pricy, but there was a lot of food. read more

I came here yesterday for lunch with my parents and ended up being really impressed. Alice's Kitchen might just be the best Hong Kong-style cafe in the SGV. We ordered the baked pork chop over pasta with tomato sauce and cheese, salt and pepper squid and wings, and the salted crispy pork knuckle. Everything was delicious. The baked pork chop was comforting and flavorful with a nice balance of sauce and cheese. The squid and wings were crispy, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing. The pork knuckle was the standout for me. Super crispy on the outside and still juicy inside. That said, the portions are a bit on the smaller side compared to places like Delicious Food Corner and some other HK cafes, especially given how good the food is. Service was amazing because they kept coming over to refill our drinks and asked if we needed anything else. For drinks, I got the iced lemon tea, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. My dad ordered the iced milk tea and coffee and enjoyed both. Solid HK cafe drinks that pair well with the food. The ambiance is a big plus. The neon lights, wall art, and street scene paintings really make it feel like you are back in Hong Kong. It does get a little loud during lunchtime, but we were still able to have a normal conversation without raising our voices. Parking can be challenging during lunch hours, but with a bit of patience, we were able to find free street parking because the free public lot fills up quickly. Overall, great food, great vibe, and definitely a spot I would come back to. read more

This is my favorite Hong Kong cafe in the SGV. All their dishes I have had here has what you call wok hay (in Cantonese it means their wok is hot enough so you can taste it in the cooking). Contrary to their Monterey Park location this one is so much better in my opinion. My go to dish here is the preserved veggie and beef chow mein. I was on a binge for tomato beef chow mein trying to find the best one in the SGV but got tired of how sweet the dish is. The preserved veggie beef chow mein is like their order brother. Not as sweet but more savory with a hint of sweetness. I have tried a number of dishes here and would recommend every item here. Nothing has disappointed me in my 10+ visits here in the past 5 months. They are opened late and I pass by going home from the gym. You can park on the street in the front or they have parking in the back as well. Like any other cafe service can be a hit or miss but once you order the food comes out pretty quickly. They have a Yelp waitlist as well that moves pretty quickly. The restaurant is decorated with HK decor so it is very trendy and has things to see. read more

If you're looking for a HK style experience, this is the place to go. Temple City location is pretty sizable and yet still always pretty packed with a wait.

I really do like their build your own noodle soup option with all the innards I could ever ask for. I know it's on brand with the aesthetic, but I really wish they didn't use all the plastic dishware. We got enough microplastics everywhere. read more

LOVED this place! The ambience was fun and lively and I felt like I was in a mom & pop joint in Hong Kong when I visited there in 2010. Totally took me back. We loved the dishes we ordered - sweet corn and chicken soup, bbq pork and egg on rice, and sizzling filet mignon cubes (forgot the pic!). We also had hot tea and there were so many items we want to come back to try. Can't wait!

This location of Alice's Kitchen is in Temple City. There is a parking lot in the back and street parking on the sides. The interior is decorated with Hong Kong inspired décor as if you are going through a market. On our first visit they were incredibly busy with a long wait, and I was already hungry so we decided to come back at a later time. On our second attempt we knew to come early. The breakfast is available from 8-11:30am daily. My boyfriend went with a western breakfast which comes with Noodle Soup, served with Scrambled Eggs and Toast. My boyfriend opted for the Spam ($14.99) and for the noodle choice opted for the macaroni noodle. I ordered from the Chinese breakfast section and got the Pork & Perserved Egg Congee ($13.75) with the Chinese donut. These breakfast combos comes with drinks. My boyfriend got their iced Milk Tea and I got the iced Lemon Tea. The food took foreverrrrr to come out. Surprisingly slow for a Hong Kong café. And when it came out the portion doesn't look as large as other Hong Kong cafes. It was also weird because we thought my boyfriend's food would have the eggs, protein of choice, and toast together... but for some reason they threw the meat inside the noodle soup. The macaroni was a weirdly large size and shape and the broth was bland. It was all weird. My congee was a smaller portion than other places. This is my goto order so I have a lot of point of reference. Flavor was okay but it would have benefited from some ginger. Also the Chinese donut was oily and stale. Not sure if it's old or they fried it in some old oil, but it wasn't good. We had to waive staff down for the bill and even ask multiple times until we got it. This location seemed so busy I thought there would be something great about it, but there wasn't. Pricing wasn't cheap. Service wasn't quick. Food wasn't impressive. Portion wasn't large. I'm sure they'll do fine without my support because they're always busy but I don't see the appeal for me personally. read more

I chose this restaurant because they offer Hong Kong-style cart noodles, but it was a big disappointment -- nothing like what I expected. We also tried two stir-fried dishes, but both lacked flavor and wok hei. Maybe it's related to their name "Original Taste," because everything really tasted quite plain.

Expect a wait if you're going for brunch on a weekend! Would recommend to check in at the ipad at the back of the restaurant and pay attention to which letter/number youre assigned to since there were overlapping numbers which I assume is based on party size (ex M9 vs J9) I tried the steak plate with choice of eggs (scrambled, sunny side up, etc) and pineapple bun. Nothing stood out particularly with the pineapple bun, but the steak was super tender and juicy. It came with a drink (tea, coffee,etc). I got the lemon ice tea and its already sweetened.

I love the HK cafe brunch culture, and love going with my family whenever I get a chance. Alice's Kitchen is not our usual default, but we ventured out this way a few weeks ago and got their brunch special. What I like most about Alice's Kitchen as opposed to others in the area, is that they offer cart noodles. And it's actually of very reasonable quality as well! There were so many toppings to choose from and they were all authentic options that reminds me of home. Portions are large, and service are considerably good (as compared to other cha chan tang type of Chinese restaurants in the area). The only minor complaint is that parking is a bit hard to find as there's a very small lot behind the restaurant shared with a few other establishment, but if you're willing to take a few steps there are plenty of street parking available. read more

Wanted to try the temple city location because when we went to the Monterey park location, they didn't have any of the dishes that we actually wanted to try. Experience: I wanted to order take out and their online order site was very confusing as not all dishes could be added to my cart. It also showed confusing time frames that just didn't make sense. So I tried calling in for my take out order and their phone number was unfortunately out of service... so it was a very terrible experience trying to order takeout Service in store: meh, exactly what you would get in a hole in the wall Hong Kong place. It bit rude, didn't really want to try to help even if it meant I wanted to order more Parking: good, parking in the back and it shares a big plaza Food: Toast w condensed milk butter - good but just make it at home instead Pineapple bun With pork chop 1 - not bad, good flavor but I expected it to be a bit more savory. Got it to try but wouldn't get it again Rice noodle roll with sesame sauce small - very yummy. It is a bit sweet and the small is still quite large, enough to share between 3-4 people as an appetizer String beans - very delicious, probably going to be one of my top places to get this Spareribs with honey, garlic sauce - just okay Honey, walnuts and shrimps - very juicy shrimp but the portion is quite small Lemongrass pork chop steak combo Sizzling chicken steak steak combo Both combos were very good, I got their spaghetti which is always a must. Both meats were tender and flavorful. I would recommend the pork over the chicken Sweet-and-sour pork - very delicious and would order again! read more
