One of the most authentic Cantonese cafés you'll find in the U.S., and honestly, probably one of the best in the area. There are a few Canto cafés around here, but this one is definitely one of our favorites. Dim sum is pretty easy to find, but authentic Cantonese cafés are much more of a rare find. The lower reviews are probably due to the service, but in my opinion, a truly authentic Cantonese restaurant should have questionable service because that's exactly what you get at the good places in Hong Kong. The philosophy in Hong Kong is basically "food over service." If they're being too nice, they're probably overcompensating for something haha. Getting either the hot or iced milk tea or lemon tea is a MUST. It's the traditional way to do it, and they even offer unlimited refills! Just be warned that you might not sleep that night because Hong Kong-style tea is no joke when it comes to caffeine. Pro tip: If you get the lemon tea, you have to crush the lemons into the tea to get the right flavor! My friends and I are regulars here. They're open late, and the ambiance is so fun, with tables decorated with mahjong tiles and neon lights that basically scream Asia. The food is top tier and, in my opinion, some of the best Cantonese food you'll find in the U.S. Our go-to orders are the tomato baked rice dishes, stir-fried vegetables, 3-cup dishes, and brisket curries. For something sweet, we always share the classic Cantonese French toast with peanut butter inside or one of the pineapple buns. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for an authentic Canto café experience! :) read more

It was my second time visiting HK Macau Bistro and my recent dinner experience was way better than my breakfast experience last year. I came here a few nights ago when the hot pot spot I wanted to eat at was packed and I didn't want to wait. I decided to try HK Macau Bistro instead since I low key wanted to have baked pasta. Restaurant was packed but I was able to be seated right away. I ordered the following dishes: - Baked Fish Fillet with Cream Sauce / Pasta - 8/10. This was really good. The melted cheese on top made this dish so delicious! - Chicken (Half) - 7/10 - This was good but it just tasted like any the chicken at any other place. - Chinese greens - 7/10 - This was okay. Preferred stronger flavors as this tasted kind of bland. - Curry Beef Stew / Tendons - 9/10 - Very tender! I liked this a lot! Would definitely order again! Lemon Iced Tea was yummy! Service was good. Restaurant was clean. Love the H.K. Vibe. read more

This is my family's new go to Hong Kong breakfast in the area. It definitely gets busier and has a wait in the late morning, so maybe go earlier if you can. Still already busy in the earlier part of the morning, though. Macau sandwich: 9/10. Best thing here in my opinion. Most other places don't have this which is so sad because it's so good. I didn't like HK breakfasts much until this. Jook / porridge: 9/10. Really good flavor. I was surprised since I don't usually like to order porridge or eat it. Bolo bao / pineapple bun sandwich: 7/10. Feels messier and oilier here than at other locations. Definitely prefer the Macau sandwich over this. Bolo bao / pineapple bun with butter: 9/10. Pretty solid. Cheung fun with sesame and hoisin sauce: 8/10. Good but I don't think they give enough of the sauce Ovaltine french toast: 9/10. Not shown on the menu, but it's on the menu at other locations so we asked, and they do have it here! It's really good honestly and surprisingly not too sweet. Even my family member who doesn't like ovaltine likes this a lot. Chow mein: 6/10. Kinda mid but at least it's free Very casual ambiance. I really like the decor - it's super bright. I feel like you get a mixed bag with servers. Most are super nice but we once had a server who didn't even ask my family how they wanted their eggs done, which was kind of weird. Smallish parking but street parking is also an option. read more

Another one of the local canto cafes in San Gabriel - this one is on a strip mall with Chongqing Special Noodles and Four Sea. There's plenty of parking. People like coming here at night because they close at 2AM. The menu is extensive, as is expected of HK cafes. They have breakfast items and lots of other shareable and individual dishes. Prices are pretty average, I think. On the night of my visit, they were closing early to do a deep clean. I hope they do a good job! read more

I came in and tried the Macau-style beef curry stew. It was everything that a Cantonese curry should be. The beef was tender, curry flavorful and also worthy of note, served with rice! A lot of people will hinge their judgements on these kinds of dishes based on whether or not they're served rice. It was perfect for soaking up the rest of the curry. I also ordered an ice lemon tea which fit the industry standard. Service was quick and prompt, no nonsense. I think a lot of other customers are hung up on the prices from this restaurant but I think that is just them nostalgizing the affordable 626 prices of yesteryear. Keep in mind its 2026 and everything is expensive for everyone. I wont knock them on the price. read more

HK Macau Bistro is located in a small strip mall off of Las Tunas Drive, with a small parking lot shared by other businesses (Cathy's Bakery, Chong Qing and Four Sea Restaurant). Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to get a late dinner on a Saturday night. We walked in around 8:45 pm and were acknowledged by an employee after waiting for maybe 5 minutes asking if we would like a table. But the strange thing was that I had told the the employee who acknowledged me that I wanted a table for 2, he didn't sit us. He looked like he was trying to clean the table but then just walked away... but luckily another employee saw us and asked how many for a table. But anyway, after looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: A11: Fish Siu Mai with Rice Roll, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered this dish, which was plenty for one person (this dish is found under the appetizer section of the menu). I actually really love rice noodles and also fish siu mai so this was a great combination for me. And the peanut and soy sauce mixture poured all over reminds me of when I had freshly made rice noodle in Hong Kong many years ago. But my husband would prefer the rice noodle not to have any of the sauce (or on the side so he can maybe just dip it if he wanted to). I think this dish could use less of the peanut soy sauce mixture too but I still overall really liked this dish. D9: Grilled Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, $16.99 prior to tax- This dish comes with your choice of either steamed white rice or noodle. My husband decided to have rice. He thought the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. He also really liked the black pepper sauce that he picked to go with the pork chop (I know you can also pick a mushroom sauce but I don't recall if there was a 3rd sauce you can choose from or not). Portion wise, this is more than enough for one person since you are getting 2 pork chops. This is actually one of my mom's favorite dishes to order when she goes to any Hong Kong style cafes too. ----------------------------------- (Total= $34.23 after tax, prior to tip) Service was minimal. I spoke both Cantonese and English (well actually my husband spoke English and I spoke in Cantonese. I am just trying to make myself speak Cantonese more) so you shouldn't really have a problem ordering here. I really like the food and I am glad this place does open late. And it was pretty busy as time progressed while we were here. We also saw a few large groups come in and the staff moving quickly to put tables together to accommodate these big groups. Overall, we had a positive dining experience and would come back. read more

Love how this restaurant is decorated. Totally has the HK/Macau feel. Each table has either mahjong tiles or dominoes under the glass surface. The street signs of HK are on the wall. We had the breakfast combos- congee plus two sides. I chose the you tiao (fried donut) and bo lo bao (pineapple bun). My friend got the chow mein instead of the pineapple bun. All of the dishes were yummy! We had enough to bring leftovers home. We arrived at 8:30am on a weekday and had plenty of seats to choose from. At about 10am, the restaurant was packed with people waiting in line to get seated. Strip mall parking. read more

I ordered the HK-style pineapple bun, beef stew curry, and a cold HK milk tea. The pineapple bun is a slightly sweet, soft bread served warm with butter which adds a little bit of savory flavor. The beef in the curry stew was soooo tender and the curry was perfectly flavored; it also comes with rice. The milk tea was not too sweet and very good; it also has free refills! Everything I had today is a must-try, but I would love to try more of the menu in the future. Everything was delicious and definitely authentic. The servers and host were really friendly and the inside was casual and comfortable. I would definitely come here again! read more

I visited during the late afternoon and although it was not busy, they accidentally only handed us the special afternoon menu which consisted of maybe 15 items total. I am not sure why my party and I failed to question this hahah. Anyway, we ordered the: - Beef Chow Fun: Very solid, not the best or the worst. Not too oily, yet had great flavor to it. I would recommend this! - Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings: I would highly advise against ordering this (view photo attached). It seemed like they coated the chicken wing in 10 layers of batter and did not fry it enough. Why are my chicken wings WHITE. Also, TOO SALTY. Eating straight MSG. - Butter Toast: Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very classic dish and cannot go wrong. All these dishes came with one free drink as well, could choose between HK milk tea, lemon tea, Chinese tea, etc. all with unlimited refills. The restaurant is so well decorated and very reminiscent of Hong Kong/ Macau. I loved all the details such as the mahjong tables and dominos underneath the glass. The service is also very reminiscent of HK, as in it is essentially non existent. Although the restaurant was not busy, we still had to constantly wave over the waiters. I like how consistent they are with the theme. read more

On my first attempt to try HK Macau Bistro I went around 10am, the parking lot and street parking nearby was full, and I saw a large crowd waiting at the entrance. I was too hungry to wait but I decided to come back nice and early. At my 8:30am visit I was able to be selective in their parking lot and no wait to be seated. Yay! I love the interior décor. The table had dominos underneath the glass, the dishes and utensils had lucky auspicious affirmations. I'm all for the positive vibes this early in the morning. Staff are incredibly quick and efficient. They are really on top of it. I think they really have to be in order to meet the demand of the busy crowd. I was excited for the breakfast specials since I love breakfast foods. I can eat it all day! The breakfast combos come with your choice of drink. Cold drinks are an extra $1. After looking at some photos on Yelp and some helpful Q&A with my waitress, I decided on their Breakfast Combo D. Porkchop & Egg Pineapple Bun with Dried Scallop Congee ($13.99) and I opted for the Iced Lemon Tea ($1 cold drink upgrade). What a deal!! I also added a side order of the Fried Dough Stick ($3.50) or also known as the crueler or Chinese donut since I like to have it with my congee. It wasn't needed from a portion perspective but I just like it. The food came out quickly, the congee first and then the fried dough stick and porkchop & egg pineapple bun. What a feast! The ladies at the lady next to me were so excited at my spread they asked me what I got. They thought I was really pro but it was actually just my first visit. Inside the pineapple bun there was a fried egg, porkchop, tomato, lettuce, and sauce. It was a huge sandwich. This is one of the bigger pineapple buns I see and it was well stuffed. The amount of food I ordered was enough to feed 2 people. The congee was really subtle. I didn't get the fried scallop that is in the name... I would just perceive it as a plain congee. The fried dough stick was oily and didn't taste too fresh. I probably won't order it next time. Nevertheless a still overall fabulous meal. My tea was refilled before I had the chance to ask. When I asked for the check, they knew to bring me togo containers without me having to ask too. Very smart service! I had a great meal here and I will definitely come back if I wake up early enough to come at opening. read more

I was visiting the area and my friend recommended this place for dinner. We came around 7pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. By the time we started eating, it was beginning to pack up inside. The ambiance was chill and the service was pretty standard for an Asian restaurant. Servers don't check in unless you call them over, nothing over the top. I ordered the baked chicken over tomato sauce and cheese. It was amazing, I'm still thinking about it days later! The tomato sauce was super flavorful without being crazy strong or tomato-forward. The cheese was baked perfectly on top, leaving a nice crispy texture but still chewy and stringy at the same time. I would definitely come back! read more

HK Macau Bistro - Baked chicken over tomato sauce and cheese - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Whenever I visit the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) from the SBBC (South Bay Beach Cities), which is about a 45-60 minute drive each way, so a culinary commute that resembles a bit of destination dining as an inconvenient trek... I do like to try new places. This is a good spot overall and I liked the food here overall. The wait for a table took a short bit but that might be a testimony to their quality and popularity for the demand to dine in. It's Cantonese Comfort Food. read more

Came here the other night around 10pm and it was still pretty packed. This is a great spot for a late night meal since they stay open until 2am. I'm a big fan of Cantonese cafe style food, so this place was right up my alley. One of my favorite dishes was the house steamed chicken. The chicken came out super tender and the ginger scallion sauce was absolutely bomb. We also ordered the braised tofu with pork which was really good, but definitely something you'll want to eat with rice. The bitter melon with beef was tasty too, a little on the salty side, but perfect when paired with rice. The salt and pepper chicken wings were another highlight. They were huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. Overall, this meal really hit the spot. Good food, generous portions, and one of the better late night options in the area. I'll definitely be back. read more

One of my absolute favorite dishes to get at Hong Kong cafes is baked tomato rice, and we got it with chicken this time... omg it was amazing. The sauce was rich, slightly tangy, and baked perfectly into the rice. I swear I only come here just for the baked tomato rice and getting chicken was a nice surprise because I usually would get it with the pork chops. SO GOOOOOD. The braised tofu with mushrooms and broccoli was also really solid. It's comforting and really well seasoned. Brick toast was really good too. Crispy on the outside, soft and buttery inside, exactly how it should be!!! The only thing was the pear chicken soup that was a whopping $12.99 for a smalllll bowl. It tasted delicious but the price was not worth it for how small the portion size was I really love this spot so much. Every time I come here, the quality is consistent and the customer service is so fast!! read more

Portions are great here. The flavors are on point. Nothing to complain about for Hong Kong Style food! There is always a wait for a table it seems. I always fo takeout, so it doesn't bother me. They've updated their takeout menu, which looks a lot cleaner and easier to navigate. My go-to order is Singapore Rice Vermicelli ($16.99), HK Macau Curry Beef Brisket ($18.99), Beef Chow Fun ($16.99), Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice ($16.99), and Water Spinach and Chili Fermented Tofu ($16.99) when it's in season. Parking continues to be very limited here since it's such a small parking lot. People often double park when picking up food. read more

Terrible service!!! Very disappointing experience with the waiting system and staff. We arrived in the morning and were the first people in line at the entrance. However, when the server started handing out numbers, they skipped us and gave a number to the people who arrived after us. We asked why we were skipped, and the server told us that the group behind us had four people while we only had two. The server specifically told us that it was okay because we would still be seated before them. Later, the group of four unexpectedly left. Instead of moving us forward, the restaurant gave their number to another party. That party was originally two people, but they were then allowed to change the number of people in their party and ended up being seated before us. We reminded the same server about what they had told us earlier -- that we would still be seated first. The response was basically, "There's nothing I can do. I only go by the numbers." That was extremely frustrating and confusing. If the restaurant only follows the numbers, then why were we skipped in the first place? And if the staff member told us we would still be seated first, why was that explanation completely ignored later? We were the first ones there and simply expected the waiting system to be fair and consistent. We weren't asking for special treatment -- we just wanted the same rules to apply to everyone. Unfortunately, the way this was handled left us feeling that the waiting system was unfair and that the staff did not take responsibility for what they had told us. read more

HK Macau Bistro - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Gabriel, California

my favorite hk bistro! All 3 things we got were so yummy and I keep coming back! The baked bolognese pork rice is my #1 and my main reason to come back to here. The flavor is just right and perfectly sweet! But I tried the ovaltine french toast and the pineapple buns for the first time and they were both delectable. The toast was moist and sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet and so fluffy at the same time. Pineapple buns were warm, salty sweet with a crunchy shell! I will always keep coming back here. Totally recommend. And the price is unbeatable. The service is alright, but as you would expect in an authentic asian restaurant, they don't do too much but will always be on top of it if you ask. The decor and interior of the restaurant makes you feel like you're in macau, very detailed decorations and everything is on theme! read more

This is actually my second time here and I love it!! Really takes me back to cafes in Macau and Hong Kong :) Love the bright lights, decor, & designs of the table (dominos and mahjong tiles!) Got the French toast with peanut butter, an absolute classic but I wish there was condensed milk (my own preference, nothing wrong without it) I also got the club sandwich (not pictured) but it's also a classic that they did not mess up. The bread was so soft, buttery, and perfectly toasted! The chicken in there was also cooked to perfection. Last time, I got the pineapple porch chop bun The staff was also really efficient (expected nothing less). read more

(Tookout 02/14/26 SA @ 5:30pm): This bistro brought you the taste of Macau to the San Gabriel Valley! It was a long day touring potential investment properties throughout the San Gabriel Valley when I drove by HK Macau Bistro on my way home. Traffic stuck out from the parking lot onto the street, and I noticed a long line of people waiting outside, so I figured this had to be a good place to grab some takeout grub. I enjoyed Chinese food although it wasn't among my top choices when it came to Asian cuisine. But, after nearly an entire day in mostly Chinese communities with Chinese realtors, Chinese food for dinner seemed appropriate. Would it be a gamble to try this Macau bistro during this particular night!? PURCHASE(S) 10pc Curry Fish Balls ($10.99): The idea of fish balls always cracked me up, and yet I loved ordering them! Honestly, I couldn't tell you whether or not there was any actual fish or seafood (maybe imitation?) in these chewy squishy orbs, but the curry had a nice spiciness to it. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=QxpHjyagnt8LH5u96j4oUA Steamed Rice (INCLUDED): Fluffy, light and a decent portion size, it did the job as all rice should be included with any ordered dish or entree in my honest opinion. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=PuBbM_UfHhVrT6JbagsEIA Chinese Broccoli w/Chicken ($16.99): A good portion size and mix of fresh Chinese broccoli and bite-size succulent chicken pieces all glazed in a sesame seed soy sauce, this was hot and steaming, but slightly on the oily side, and I wished there were more leafy broccoli bits than stalks. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=bw9BMRdjQ4TdowyLyrrt4g Malacca Seafood Fried Vermicelli ($16.99): A seemingly bottomless large portion size with a bountiful amount of seafood of all kinds as if they completely emptied the ocean, from eel, haddock, octopus, scallops, shrimp, and certainly more! The vermicelli wasn't as fried as I expected (which was a good thing), and the general flavoring was a bit weak, but the amount of supple seafood more than made up for these deficiencies. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=dsH23wMlwABttIma_JkOuA SERVICE After I made my way through the crowd, I was greeted by a young host who handed me a menu, and after about fifteen minutes, I tracked him down to place my order. In all of the hustle and bustle, I ultimately waited for about 15 minutes before everything came out all securely packaged. Everything went well - thank you! PARKING (FREE): Located in an outdoor strip mall, I luckily found a spot on the street. Otherwise, they shared a sizable lot with a few other businesses, and there appeared to be ample spaces along the main drag of Las Tunas Dr. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A boxy main dining area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=V2xnz1CsWPkmkIaYxUythw (there may have been more rooms in the back) packed with chairs/tables, some kitschy neon lights artwork on the walls that added some character, and an interesting bus motif and street alley feel. A decent amount of natural lighting came in through the front doors and surrounding windows while electric recessed ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=1ycdvR_i8vCZ1ZzpZtp2yw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Based on the crowds I saw when I first arrived, I safely made it out of HK Macau Bistro with a hefty bag of good food (it just needed more flavoring) that lasted me for a few days at reasonable prices, straightforward service, and possibly an interesting time if I decided to dine-in at least once. The menu had tons of options so you were able to find something for everyone. And, whenever possible I liked to support small local mom-&-pop-like businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $50.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, although they accepted credit cards, not mine of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

The corn isn't the freshest. It taste like a poor quality canned corn but I can't complain since it was great value. Service was quick and I would definitely come again. read more

HK Macau Bistro - chicken steak - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Having been here twice, the service is pretty good, considering how the staff is very attentive with getting you seated, ordered, bringing the food out, and making sure you have everything you need. The price is very fair, considering the portion size. I was shocked at how colonized Hong Kong food is? What do you mean stick and eggs? This was a great history. Lesson for me. I don't know what I ordered the first time, but it was OK, but the second time, I ordered the Hainan chicken rice, and I actually like it quite a lot. It is a bit too yellow for my liking, but it's still tasted good. The ambience in here can get pretty loud, but what do you expect? It is a sitdown, fast food. read more

Went to HK Macau Bistro for afternoon tea today. It is served daily from 3-5pm with a selected number of items on the menu for $13.99. You can order from their main menu as well for regular price. Drinks will be an additional $1.50 if you order the teas or coffee. Today I ordered the tomato beef and egg macaroni, baked pork chop rice and ovaltine french toast. All of them came out steaming hot. The macaroni was al dente and flavorful from the tomato sauce. The tomatoes were soft but did not disintegrate. The beef was tender and plentiful. The baked pork chop rice had a good amount of sauce and cheese. The pork was super soft as well but wish it had more meat than bones. The french toast had a lot of ovaltine on top and wasn't too sweet. It soaked up the condense milk and was super yummy. They have a lot of Hong Kong decor around the store. The tables had mahjong tiles displayed which added to the vibes. This place does get pretty packed but tea time is an odd hour so it's usually pretty bearable. read more

Service is good. I was asking my tables if they wanted extra bowls to share and the server overheard, brought it over without me asking. However note that this is still a Chinese establishment. They are used to fast paced so good is for Chinese standards not the 5 star michelin standard. Food came out fast. It's good pricing and huge portions. It is on the greasier side but still very tasty.

*** $25 minimum to use credit cards *** HK Macau Bistro is a Hong Kong style cafe with a part of menu that actually specializes in Macau cuisine. The cafe currently has 2 locations (San Gabriel and Rowland Heights) and a sister restaurant (Tam's Noodle House located just a block away). [Parking]: There's a small parking lot, but the lot was somewhat packed on Sunday at 6 PM. I got lucky as a car was about to leave. [Atmosphere]: Nostalgic interior decors with Hong Kong bus route signs and neon signs. Some tables even have mahjong design using actual tiles. [Menu]: Some of popular dishes per Yelp highlights are Pineapple Bun (C1 - C4 = different variations), French Toast (C11 - C16 = different variations), Hainan Chicken (D1), and Chicken Steak (D9). They also have baked rice & pasta, curry, various house special stir fry dishes, vegetable & tofu, congee, clay pot dishes, dry noodles / noodle soups, fried rice dishes, and drinks like Hong Kong Milk Tea. Free refills on lemon tea (iced or hot). The server actually came and asked whether our table would like a refill. *** T11 Minced Beef with Egg over Rice ($16.99): Apparently this is a Macau style fried rice. It was an interesting dish as it contained diced potato pieces. Flavor was good. S1 Beef Chow Fun ($16.99): Beef was tender and the flavor was on the spot. *** Overall I like food at HK Macau Bistro better than Hong Kong Cafe in Atlantic Times Square. A solid 4-star on food, but bump up on surprisingly good service. read more

HK Macau Bistro is located on the corner of Las Tunas and San Gabriel Blvd. Along with a long list of Hong Kong cafe items they serve Chinese breakfast. Our friend arrived early to get a table. We ordered the following items all in combination with a pineapple bun and fried egg. Spicy minced pork vermicelli Beef satay noodles Pork chop noodles Hong Kong Milk Tea. All dishes were $13. The noodles come out super fast along with the pineapple buns and butter. Besides the pork chop being a bit dry all were delicious. The hot out of the oven pineapple buns were excellent. (Extra Butter) The tables are fun with mahjong tiles or dominos inlayed in the table top. Very popular restaurant but the patrons turn over fast.

Was looking for some late night food in the area and this came up. Parking was difficult at around 930/10PM on a Wednesday. I ended up finding street parking. I did call ahead, so I just picked up the food. There was a line waiting to be seated and the inside dining area was absolutely packed. The salt and pepper combination with wings and calamari is really good. This is one of those things you should eat right away to get the crisp. The beef chow fun had a lot of flavor with the beef and the noodles it self. The hainan chicken was not my thing. The rice was dry. Had to dump some of the ginger sauce to add a little flavor. I'm guessing this is a good late night spot with most food establishments in the area closing at 9PM. read more

Breakfast special is a bit weaker than the other Hong Kong cafes in the area. Bolo bao has good crust but the actual bread past lacks fluffiness and flavor. Chicken steak is average but could be more thicker. Milk tea is strong and good. Decor is very cute but the service is slow and takes a long time for food to come out. As a HK girl I think there are better other HK cafes in the area but this one is a good pick if you're also looking for the Macau flare. read more

Tasty and quick HK style cafe with some great specialties, HK Macau Bistro doesn't have as large a menu as other places but is still worth a stop. The tomato egg and beef macaroni was popular here and it is a lot tastier with more flavor than the name would describe. The pineapple bun sandwich with chicken was also good but a 50/50 must have on account of how messy it is. The plate comes with plastic gloves and it is very messy. There is a lot of sauce and the grilled chicken piece is slippery but also tasty. read more

The food is okay. Price wise, it's more on the expensive side when it comes to HK cafe food. It's less flavorful than other Hong Kong food I've had and I'm guessing it might be because they don't use enough or any MSG. We got the fried squid, tomato baked pork chop, curry, braised tofu and pork and a pineapple bun. Out of everything, I enjoyed the squid the most for the texture. It was nicely chewy and the batter added that nice crispy touch. I didn't really enjoy the curry because of how large the tomato chunks were. The pork chop was decent. I liked how it wasn't overly cheesy and it had a good amount of tomato flavor, but unfortunately it was more rice than pork chop which was already cut up into chunks. Not really eager to go back because the service was rather poor. The waiters were not very attentive and it took a while for simple things like getting waters refilled. read more

This review is more about baked pork chop/chicken steak over rice with red sauce. That was disappointed. No need to get it again. Having said that, I tried the curry beef stew and the curry flavor was very good. However, in general, the food is not very hot. Just lukewarm Other items seem to look good but didn't try. Service also not the best. read more

HK Macau Bistro is a Hong Kong-style cafe (cha chaan teng) offering mashups of Cantonese and western cooking - with a Macanese spin (salt cod, Portuguese chicken rice). You can have anything from a steak, pork chop pineapple bun, baked rice dish, or French toast. The walls have neon lights and signs repping neighborhoods from HK and Macau. The tables are covered in mahjong tiles and dominoes. (You'll need cash for anything under $25.) BBQ Pork Egg Rice Bowl: This is a simple dish with decent charsiu. Tear into the two sunny side up eggs drizzled with sweet soy sauce for a comforting bite of rice. The Chinese broccoli adds nice crunch. Curry Ox Tongue: The curry plate is huge and so is the rice plate, enough where you question if you can finish everything. But then you try the large yet thin filets, which are incredibly tender and an ideal vehicle for delivering the curry flavor. The golden curry is delicious with its savory and sweet blend of coconut milk, curry spices, and a touch of Chinese spices. At first, I carefully drizzled the creamy curry onto the rice. In no time, all of the rice was in the curry. There are also nice chewy roasted potato chunks. HK Milk Tea: The condensed milk sweetened tea has a decent amount of tea flavor and it could do with a bit more. Parking: There's a large parking lot in front that wraps around the side. read more

The waitress forgot my pineapple bun egg chicken cutlet sandwich after I've waited for 30 minutes The good thing is the kitchen is very quick so they recovered and got my order in This place is really busy and luckily around noon we got a table for two. I don't recommend this place if you have a large group or more than four people because the weight is incredibly long for those parties. The food was amazing but I realize they snuck a huge piece of butter in my pineapple bun sandwich, which I didn't expect. Not diet friendly. I like how they had options for vegetables. This place atmosphere is fast paced family friendly parking is difficult though so it can be kind of stressful for kids. I don't recommend bringing kids. I see a lot of young adult adults here. When I come again, I don't think I will come during peak hours probably when there's less busy read more
