Garden Cafe can get pretty busy, so service was a little difficult to get at times. I think having a few more staff members during the busier hours would help a lot. That said, it's a good spot for larger groups or parties, especially if you're looking for a place where everyone can sit together and enjoy a meal. The overall experience probably depends a lot on what time of day you come, since some hours seem much busier than others. read more

Prime rib for under $30? Score! This Garden Cafe in Arcadia has good food at awesome prices for breakfast, lunch and dinner but their service is a hit and miss. Their prime rib dinner makes up for bad service though and I will always keep coming back as long as this is on their menu. Parking spot is always easy to locate since they are a standalone building with a lot in rear - street parking is also available. My personal favorite Garden is actually Garden Bistro in Rowland Heights where it is more modern and cleaner however, I can't complain since this location is much closer to where I live. I highly recommend coming here for their Prime Rib! read more

I've eaten here a handful of times. Today I ordered for delivery seafood udon and wonton soup. The wonton soup had a weird smokey flavor and the meat of the wontons were spoiled. I really hope management addresses this quality control issue and offers a refund or replacement for the meal. Until this is resolved, I won't be returning read more

Arcadia Garden Cafe is a longtime neighborhood favorite serving classic Hong Kong-style café fare in a lively, bustling atmosphere. The extensive menu features everything from baked rice and pasta dishes to traditional specialties, with options to satisfy nearly every craving. Service was exactly what you'd expect from a typical Cantonese restaurant--straightforward and no-frills, without much emphasis on attentiveness or warmth. Orders can take a little longer to arrive, particularly during busy hours, so expect a bit of a wait. **Baked Bolognese with Garlic Bread: 5/5** This is, without question, the best baked bolognese I've had from any Hong Kong-style café. Served bubbling hot beneath a generous layer of browned, melted cheese, it developed an irresistible toasted, savory crust that elevated every bite. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente, providing just the right amount of bite, while the rich, hearty Bolognese sauce coated each strand beautifully. Accompanied by crisp, buttery garlic bread and an impressively generous portion, this comforting classic easily stands out as the restaurant's signature dish. Despite its unremarkable service, Arcadia Garden Cafe shines where it matters most--the food. If you're willing to overlook the slower pace, it's easy to see why the restaurant has remained a local staple for so many years. read more

Always glad to be here, came again for Monday dinner and it wasn't crowded but parking seemed to be half full. It was 6 of us and we get seated at the large round table in the middle of the restaurant. The menu is HUGE but me, my sister, and my uncle will usually order the grilled chicken and pork dish. My aunt usually gets a noodle dish such as the beef chow fun this time. My son got a meat sauce pasta with fries. We also got Thai tea which is refillable. My dad unfortunately didn't know what to get but he ultimately decided on the hainan chicken. The waiter confirmed 3 of the same dishes and we confirmed. The food came but mine didn't and it seemed the waiter only put in 2 orders. Therefore, I had to wait but my uncle shared half his pork and chicken with me because it was a lot for him. Good thing they didn't put on my order because i wanted pasta and not rice and my sister and uncle asked for rice, so good thing i got mine after with mushroom sauce (black pepper sauce is surprisingly too spicy for me). I love the mixed vegetables, but sure what makes it good since it's just bland zucchini, peas, green beans, carrots, and corn. But goes so well with the dish. The mash potatoes were also good...I loved everything tbh... My sister and I each got a refill on our drink and I felt a weird aura from the start so u didn't ask for another. We had so much leftover since I ate most of my uncles dish and he barely ate but I'm so happy they still had great portions. read more

The menu has a variety of dishes which usually has a choice of a side of rice or spaghetti. If you call for service, a server usually comes to see what you want. Booth seating for 4 of us was adequate. I ordered the pork chop with lemongrass & onion flavored shrimp. The Pork chop was thin but the large 6 shrimps with skin on were flavorful. read more

9/19/26 about noon, I ordered Japanese fried rice and German pork knuckle. The waiter asked me to eat with rice or noodle with pork knuckle, and I ordered noodles (spaghetti) which comes with it. After a long time and behind tables are served (may be about half an hour later), I told a waitress to bring the fried rice first if the pork knuckle is too long to wait. The waitress went to check the computer, came back and told that the waiter only input one pork knuckle order in the system. I told the waitress we are two, so we ordered two dishes. Both have the picture on menu, and the Japanese fried rice is #99. In Chinese restaurants, talking Chinese is common. The waitress immediately went into the kitchen, brought two cups of soup so we could start eating. Front table Spanish man wearing glass mustache does not seem understand Chinese and context but reflecting the waiters in the shop unhappy while I talk the waitress. The front desk rude man record me eating and he abuse my identity without consent talking in English against me so he is an over a decade outdated disturbance gang of stalk. We came to restaurant to eat. Mind your own business front desk mustache 4 eyes man. Garden cafe nevertheless make one discrepancy by giving rice for I ordered noodle (spaghetti), which is logical since already order fried rice. Fried rice and pork knuckle is eaten and the plain rice is taken to go. read more

Service is very slow. We waited over 20mins to get the first order and another 15mins for the second order. The waiter has an attitude when we asked why it's so slow. His answered was Chinese dishes are slower than western style dishes. It was just an regular Chinese Beef. Brisket chow Main. We ordered before and it was the first dish to come out note the last . This is a typical Chinese Cafe Service that they still want a good tips !!! What a joke!!! My food was a busted too . A lot of fillers not that good either. A ripe off!! read more

Stopped by during the hours of their Afternoon Tea - $15 for a hot drink and a combo or a dish on their special menu (I ordered a combo of porridge and beef chow fun) is a good deal and is plenty of food to get you full. I wasn't a huge fan of the beef chow fun because I found it a little bland for my taste. The service is efficient, and while the interior is a little dated (peep the advertising placemats), it was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking available in the lot. I also enjoy their Hainan chicken which was tender enough - which I was delighted to find comes with a salted egg and some lightly pickled vegetables. Their beef cube dish is also good - the beef was tender, and the accompanying mix of onions, mushrooms, basil, and few jalapenos tastes great over rice. Their menu is huge and I definitely want to try more items next time! read more

Came for dinner here with the family on a regular Tuesday night. There was ample parking and no wait time for a table. Staff was quick in taking our orders. Food came out pretty quick too.

Garden Cafe is the go-to spot for great Hong Kong style food. They serve great breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. I came for dinner this time and there was no wait time to be seated. We ordered the Baked Chicken w/ Pasta, Fried Tofu w/ Mushrooms, Fried Pork Chop Noodles, and Stir Fried Pork w Veggies. It took about 10 minutes for the dishes to be served. The portions are generous for the price in this economy. I really liked the Baked Chicken with pasta. The chicken was tender and everything was perfectly baked and topped with cheese. The tomato sauce also tasted different and a bit creamier than regular tomato pasta. It was so good! The tofu was also very good since it is the soft egg tofu. The other two dishes were just okay but the portion was good. Overall I had great meal here! There was leftovers which I could pack to eat the next day. Their quality and prices are just worth! Will definitely come again for the baked pasta. read more

Ambiance is casually comfortable. read more

Not fancy in looks compared to many of the other HK-style cafes in the area, but my food portions have always been substantial and priced right, which is more than enough reason to stop in whenever I'm in the immediate area read more

Classic Hong Kong style cafe, Honestly grew up eating this type of food. Some times in the morning when Mommy and Daddy took us to school or the park, and in the later years coming home from music festival or clubbing. Service is usually good when your closer to the bar, you can usually wave down a food runner or waiter. I got the half coffee half tea for a drink, And the baked pork chop with that bolognese sauce and pasta So good, I usually get lo mein or the half red half white fried rice. read more

We always come here, they never disappoint us. From breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. My parents and kids love their breakfast tomatoes noodles soups and pork chop bun. Their oatmeal breakfast is always served warm and delicious. Baked pork chop rice and chicken steak are always good. Their staffs are very pet friendly and amazing pet lovers. Our babies are always welcome with lots of love here. All the staffs are very nice. Just special thanks to Jennifer and 小強. You guys are the Best with solid 5stars. Garden cafe just recently remodeled their Patio. Really wish that they can bring back the outdoor booth seating. But it is still nice and roomy at the patio. Very pet friendly. read more

I've been to this spot too many times growing up and I'm glad it's still exactly like I remembered. The breakfast deals are awesome with pretty good in terms of price and taste. I tried out these items. Ribeye Steak - Came with two eggs cooked your style, hash brown, and a garlic bread. The steak was actually really good and cooked perfectly medium rare. It's basic in flavoring but for $16 this dish was superb. (4.5/5) Porridge - Its a basic porridge but it has a good chicken/garlic flavor. Its pretty hearty and delicious for what it is. (4.5/5) Thai Style Fried Rice - This was a dish that came with the porridge combo and it was actually very good. Good flavors and pretty big portion. (4.5/5) Vermicelli Noodles - Also came with the porridge combo and was tasty. It's a simple noodle dish that was pretty comforting. (4/5) Overall in terms of value this is the spot to go to. It's comfort food, you'll have a great meal without breaking the bank. Also for breakfast the meals come with a drink (milk tea or coffee) which is a total plus for me. Solid spot for brunch! Parking - They got a pretty reasonable size lot, had no issues. read more

garden café- arcadia garden café is such a childhood classic for me. we came back for breakfast for the first time in years, and everything -- from the slightly dated interior to the familiar dishes -- brought me right back to being a kid. i ordered the wonton soup with hk milk tea and the pork chop with roti and eggs, all of which tasted exactly like i remembered. the quality itself isn't anything fancy or "elevated," but that's kind of the point -- it's pure comfort and nostalgia in diner-style portions. they have a huge menu with a wide variety of hk café-style dishes, and i actually think lunch or dinner is where they really shine, since the breakfast selection feels a bit more limited. service has always been quick and attentive every time i've visited, which helps keep things feeling smooth even when they're busy. if you grew up with spots like this, garden café is one of those places that may not be gourmet, but will always hit you right in the memories. read more

I order baked chicken with tomato + cheese over rice at every HK place and this spot made it amazing! Their baked chicken comes with skin that gets crispy (yum), paired well with melty cheese. The HK coffee + milk tea was well balanced, pleasant tea flavors, not too sweet, and comes with refills! Just like all the other low ratings, the service here isn't the best. When seated I saw plenty of employees roaming the floor but after waiting a while to order... it seems like everyone suddenly vanished?? And you can try to wave someone down but they won't acknowledge you or they do and just never come back. The food was really good and comes out fast after ordering... but having someone take your order takes forever... Small parking lot (we got lucky with a spot) but seems like street parking might be inconvenient in the area read more

I haven't had Garden Cafe in a while and the last time I tried to come here, I left the parking lot because I couldn't find parking. Now, here I am back here and found parking. This is your typical HK cafe, where you need to catch the waiter's action to order food because of how busy the restaurant is. I ordered the NY steak and fish filet with spaghetti while my bf ordered NY steak with chicken steak with rice. I ordered the steak medium and it was cooked to perfection where it was not too rare and not too done. Everything tasted pretty solid and I really like their spaghetti because it's sweet. A must order is a lemon ice tea, goes well with any meal and plus free refills. read more

My partner ordered us food and it was amazing! I love eating at garden cafe, since I was a kid. I love getting the beef and shrimp udon with xo sauce. I usually just order togo and it's just super yummy. They are on the pricier side in my opinion compared to many other places here in the 626 area, but worth it depending what you get because they cook the food here really good. it has good WOK HAY. read more

They have over 600 dishes on their menu. For the black pepper chicken steak the skin could have been crispier. They did a really good job on the Udon with Beef. Service at this place is normally okay, this time they went more attentive on their service. The food is somewhat consistent, they changed how they made some of the items, in which it was even better than what I had before. I feel like over the last few times that I have went, they stopped serving the free soups after Covid, but they also added a lot more and new stuff overall. Their lemon iced tea was free refills. Recommend you get more Hong Kong style food instead of American or Macau. read more

If you want traditional bing sutt you got it here. I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and it was excellent. Compadre got pork knuckle and she said thumbs up. If a place can get the basics down then most of the other items on the menu is passable. Parking can be a challenge, staff friendly but a concern for me and thus for my rating was their were flies buzzing around and the upkeep is not there. Windows dirty. Still food flavor was excellent.

Haven't been here in some time, since before covid, and it's nice to see there's since a lot of guests at this business! The menu hasn't changed a bunch, but there are definitely a few new items for dinner/weekend specials. A lot of the dishes are a bit pricey in comparison to other hong kong cafes, but I think the dishes are also bigger in comparison. On this day, I got lemon ice tea ( which is unfortunately not refillable) and spanish coffee ( tastes so good with the vanilla ice cream on top). The filet mignon was cooked great - was medium rare in the inside, and had lots of diced mushrooms and onions underneath. The sea bass hot pot was also delicious, though would have been better if they cut down on the sliced pork and added more fish. Definitely will still be one of the main hong kong cafes staples in this area! read more

I frequent this place and I can say it's an authentic Hong Kong style cafe with a lot of options. The menu can be overwhelming because of the numerous items they serve. So, I do recommend you look at the menu prior to visiting just so you can pick the dish you absolutely want. Servers do want you in and out. The pro to that... Service is quick and the food is very fresh. I like to order a bunch a different dishes and share with the table but the portions for each dish is good for one person. read more

I will asked for 20% next time. read more

Garden Cafe has always been one of my "ole reliable" type of restaurants. Dependable food/staff and comfy seating here. I have never had a bad meal ever (look at my Yelp check-ins, 240 and many times where I forget to check-in too) and they open on all holidays, the perfect place for a nice dinner out when celebrating something. The Alhambra location was my OG spot though but I now live closer to this one and get just as great food. I think Arcadia Garden has better parking(private lot) than the Alhambra one(shared parking structure) even when it's busy. The food selection is plentiful and very sharable dishes. They even have special menu item sets on holidays like Mother's/Father's Day, Thanksgiving, New Year, Christmas, etc. Lemon iced tea, milk tea, and coffee always have free refills here (some HK cafes do not or only refill once). If you like chili, they have their own freshly made chili oil to use at the restaurant and you can even order a jar of it for home(just ask staff about it, they don't advertise it). But anyways, my family comes here so often the staff would get worried if we don't show up for a while. Extremely Canto parent approved, love this place. read more

Garden Cafe has been a local institution since the original one opened in Alhambra. Although it has had many ups and downs since then, it remains one of the go to places when you are craving a Hong Kong style cafe. On our latest visit to the Garden Cafe in Arcadia, we found the food to be well presented and in a generous portion size but, and it's a big "but" (no, I'm not referencing Sir Mix-a-Lot), the tastes were not as good as they should be. It wasn't bad at all but it lacked the all important "wok hay" and tasted a bit flat. But all in all it was still good and the waitresses were very kind and friendly so they will get a good rating. I just hope the next time they put a little more "oomph" in it and no, I don't mean MSG. read more
