    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

    Baked Bolognese with Garlic Bread
    Fion L.

    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.

    Pork pasta dish
    Lily V.

    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.

    We felt the service was excellent--water and tea were topped up promptly, the food was served quickly, and it tasted great. Red bean ice is delicious, too.

    This place is home when I am in Arcadia a simple no fuss Hong Kong style cafe. I can't wait to try breakfast. Try the Thai style udon or the sizzling udon with filet. Everything is fresh hot and very reasonably priced. Service is quick and friendly. They treat us like family.

    Pork chop & shrimp with a side of steamed rice
    Carolyn F.

    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.

    Back for lunch! So their lunch prices are exactly the same as dinner prices. Portions are the same. Good fast service as usual. I got like 4 refills of my Thai ice tea.

    Afternoon Tea combo: HK milk tea, pork+century egg porridge, beef chow fun
    Vivian Q.

    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!

    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. Their portions are still very generous at the price point. We ordered 4 dishes and they were all really delicious, especially the baked chicken pasta. The chicken was very tender.

    Food is good! My family and I have been coming here for a few years, and we look forward to the prime rib on the weekend. All portions are completely shareable. The menu may be overwhelming, but there's so many options from noodles, soups, meats and such. This will always be a place I recommend for any Chinese/Hong Kong food in the Arcadia area.

    Stir Fried Veggies
    Sarah S.

    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.

    Prime Rib Special on the weekends. Comes with salad and soup! $30 as of May/26 Delicious!
    Ares M.

    A friend told me about their prime rib specials on the weekends for just $30 so we came to try it out! And it didn't disappoint! The prime rib is very delicious! It comes with salad and soup. It's a very good deal with the quality of the prime rib. We also like their basil pork chop and stirred fried Singapore vermicelli. Service is reasonably consistent based on my experience. Ambiance is casually comfortable.

    Chris C.

    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.

Took it to-go, so the rice cake and XLB scores are lower than they would've been for dine-in. So much food! Excellent value, friendly staff, and lots of free parking in the shopping center lot (especially now that the supermarket is closed). Bon Appétit!

The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces. The stinky tofu is fried and pairs perfectly with pungent garlic dipping sauce. The portions are generous and the price is super affordable. Most dishes range from 12.99 -15.99. The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful.
