Pork Chop with Black Bean sauce.
John S.

If you are looking for Hong Kong style interpretations of Western Comfort food, Cafe Bakery and Restaurant is the place for you. Dinner portions are huge here and always include a Soup, Rice or Spaghetti, and a Jello dessert. You will likely to be taking some home with you as the portions are more than 1 person can likely finish in a setting. The Pork Chop and Chicken Cutlet dishes are highly recommended.

This is an institution in the Sunset--I think they've been here since the early 90s if not earlier. When I was growing up, I remember coming here for food as well as bakery items. There is no longer any bakery, but the food, after all these years is still solid. The portions are generous and it is reasonably priced. It has been a long time since I've dined here. There are so many restaurant choices in the Sunset. They offer western style foods in a Hong Kong style and my experience has been consistently good. The portions are fairly and so I always have leftovers to take home and another meal for the next day! My favorite dish has always been the tomato sauce baked pork chop and after all these years, it still tastes good. Their service is good and they are fast to deliver your food after ordering! My most recent visit I ate the curry ngow nam. The dish was yummy, the curry had a tiny kick, my only complaint was I got a large, inedible piece of tendon with my order. The garlic shrimp over past was really good--if you are a garlic lover, this dish is for you! Definitely a great neighborhood restaurant and I'm glad it's still around and still tastes good!

Ox Tail

You enjoy Hong Kong styled food and drinks? This is the spot! Signature drinks like HK milk tea (奶茶) and HK lemon iced tea, which are nostalgic to most. Their menu consists of many authentic Chinese dishes, but I got the Ox Tail (photo depicted). It came with a pretty generous portion with the price at $21. Since this place is located on Noriega street, parking is rough, and make sure to read the signs! Definitely recommend to everyone!

Baked pork chop with rice  and tomato sauce
Calvin L.

Food: Ordered the baked pork chop with rice and tomato sauce. Very good quality, just a little sweeter than usual. The meal also came with free soup and jelly for dessert, which was a nice touch. Service: Fast, efficient, and straight to the point. Ambiance/Cleanliness: The biggest surprise was the bathroom. it is very clean. Speaking as a Chinese person, we don't always expect that at traditional establishments, so it was a huge plus! 4 stars.

December 2025 - Menu on the Wall

Chinese American cafe food in the Sunset. Full dinners with Soup, Entree, Coffee / Tea / Milk Tea, and Jello! They also have daily specials and the nicest Owner / Boss Lady and her Staff of Aunties. We went on a Wednesday night and had their Pork Cutlet Special. Also had the Lightly Egg Battered Filet of Sole and their Garlic Lamb Chops. All were solid! My 97yo MIL ate up the Filet of Sole as it was tasty and easy to eat. Wife had the gigantic Pork Cutlet with Brown Gravy while I went for the Lamb (4 ribs with a lot of garlic nibs). All were good with plenty to take home! Choice of Chinese Spaghetti or White Rice... What? You never had Chinese Spaghetti? If you grew up in an old school Chinese household you will know Chinese Spaghetti as a sweet sauced spaghetti...think Chef BoyrDee or Jollibee spaghetti sauce! Love it. Service is excellent with Cantonese, English, and Mandarin speakers. They fill your hot drinks constantly! Lots of tables and the place does a very good Oi Mey or take out service.

Baked Sole w/ Cream of Corn (bit under seasoned)
Nancy T.

Second time here and tried something different today. Last time I got the white sauce fish over rice. This baked pork chops was my JAM! Taste almost like sweet and sour sauce. If you're NOT into sweet food, this will NOT be your jam.

Pork Chops (2) with Black Bean Sauce! Absolutely DELISH, had a kick too!
Robertta M.

We decided to try this place after seeing a great Facebook review from Adonis, and I'm glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing overall. The table next to us drove all the way from San Jose to try this place because they saw his review as well. Crazy huh? The only dish I wouldn't order again is the oxtail soup. Personally, I'm allergic to tomatoes, and for $10 the portion felt small like a cup and consisted mostly of vegetables with very little oxtail. That said, the pork chop in black bean sauce was outstanding -- incredibly flavorful and easily the highlight of the meal. The wings were also very good. Had some Hong Kong Milk Tea and loved it! We wanted to try the roast pork, but that is a Sunday special so we will definitely come on a Sunday to try it out. Overall, a great experience, and We'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

Restaurant has been here for over 30 years. Consistently delicious food. But, please do not expect exceptional service. Server takes your order and brings food. It can get busy once the weekend starts. We came on a Friday evening. There were plenty of available tables around 5:30 pm, but then past 6 pm, all the tables were taken. It's a popular place and I think there are many loyal customers, including us.

Ngai cha (HK milk tea)
Matthew W.

I really miss my childhood here, with the old sticky tables and the sub $10 prices. Nowadays, Cafe Bakery is much cleaner and brighter for double the price for things (most dishes are $18+). All entrees come with some form of soup, veggies and carb (rice/spaghetti), as well as dessert (jello). It's often pretty crowded here, although turnover is quick. Bear in mind that it's more Westernized than normal HK places. I'd recommend trying the daily specials. They serve the HK borsch soup and ngai cha (milk tea) with it, which is nice. I had the chicken curry spaghetti with cheese, which was very tasty but also very heavy. The meat is so tender you could cut it with a fork. Portion sizes are huge, which is a plus, but takeout containers are 25-50 cents, so you might want to bring your own. Staff speaks limited English and Cantonese is preferred, but they're super nice. I'd recommend Cafe Bakery for sure but locals will probably remember its glory days better.

Chicken and mushroom spaghetti
Benny C.

No frills and no gimmick HK cafe! There are very good HK cafes in the Easy Bay so I had to hit one up when I was in the city! I got the chicken and mushroom spaghetti with a side of lemon iced tea and my gosh the portions were insane! Super gigantic for the value! The chicken was thigh meat so you get the nice, juicy, tender dark meat. The mushrooms were a very good complement to the gravy and the spaghetti was al dente. The dish came with a borscht soup, which was also equally as delicious! Iced Lemon tea was nice and cold, filled with tons of lemon and sweet just like how it should be. All in all, super solid spot!

Salmon with garlic sauce
Noel C.

Portions are generous and satisfying. The meal also comes with soup and jello, giving it that classic Hong Kong café set meal feel and making it extra comforting. The space is simple and no-frills, with a true neighborhood vibe and a loyal local crowd. The staff are consistently attentive and make sure you're well taken care of.

Waitlist on table
Becky V.

Really big portions! One dish can be shared by two people. To go boxes $0.25 each Accepts credit card, $10 minimum Put your name on the waitlist, pretty busy Food- Portuguese style sauce is a curry like sauce. It's good. Can choose your dish then say if you want it made with spaghetti or rice

Pork Cutlet Spaghetti with Black Pepper Sauce
Tai D.

Went here for Father's Day last Sunday. It was such a feast because the food was not only good but the portion is also great for the money. Every day they have special dishes listed for reduced pricing. The specials also come with refillable HK Milk Tea and a bowl of soup and a bowl of traditional dessert. So honestly just a really good spot if you want to your money to go far especially in this tight economy season Id encourage you to bring your family as this is definitely a good spot for shareables!

Took about 15-20 minutes to get through several people. We tried both the egg tarts ($3.50/ea) and the white lotus paste double egg yolk mooncake ($13). They don't use lard, so if you're vegetarian, snack away! Egg tart shell was super flaky and thin; custard was *very* egg-y. It was a little more like egg souffle than egg custard, and not as silky as I personally like. Still delicious though, 8/10. Mooncake was pretty solid and the filling had some surprise macadamia nuts in there, which added a nice texture. The skin wasn't my favorite, but I think that's just personal preference. Not too sweet. 7/10. Would come back to grab an egg tart if I ever happen to catch this place open again.

The matcha and chocolate balance each other well. -The matcha strawberry 4/5 has a unique flavor and it tastes really good but it is a bit sweeter. -Lemon sesame wheel 5/5: I believe it is a seasonal item, but oh wow!
