    Soy Sauce Chicken - half portion
    Ann C.

    My BF was craving Chinese food tonight and saw this place on TikTok. We lived close by so decided to get this place a try. These are the items we ordered: Shrimp Chow Fun With Egg Minced Beef And Raw Egg Rice Soy Sauce Chicken (Half) Fish Fillet With Salt And Pepper I have to say... Everything was actually pretty good. At first I thought at first I thought they forgot the raw egg for them mince beef, but it was buried within inside the rice. It makes a big difference with egg. The soy sauce chicken was very standard, but they did include a lot of it juices. The salt and pepper fish was good, but I think it needs to be air fried since we did get it to go. And the big surprise was the Shrimp chow, fun with egg. It was quite good. The service was a typical Chinese place, but the food did come out pretty fast. I think we will be back to try different dishes.

    Soy Sauce Chow Mein

    I ordered a small party tray of Soy Sauce Chow Mein and WOW--it was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and not greasy at all. I also tried the Roasted Duck and it was AMAZING--super juicy, tender, and full of flavor with crispy skin. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything comes out hot and fast. Definitely my new go-to spot whenever I'm craving authentic Chinese food. Highly recommend!

    Half Roast Duck

    So there are a few Ho Kee Cafes in the area so this review is specifically for the Arcadia one. This is near Baldwin Ave and Las Tunas/Live Oak. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of this place is pretty nice. It's on the more upscale side compared to the Del Mar one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Both of them have the interesting open kitchen design with a glass window and it looks like the side of a building with the roof in the inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This one is bigger than the Del Mar one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So how does the food compare? So I ordered a half roast duck and BBQ pork rice and extra veggies. I'm glad they use Choy sum instead of other places that use broccoli, bok choy, or cabbage. This is a more expensive veggie. The BBQ Pork is decent. It's very lean and thinly sliced. However the flavoring is a bit off, it's a bit on the saltier side. I asked for the sauce on the side and the BBQ pork sauce is really salty and doesn't have much of a sweet taste. The roast duck is a bit on the meatier side, meaning that there is noticeable amount of meat on the duck compared to other places however compared to the Del Mar one, it's really really salty. The Del Mar one is on the opposite spectrum and is bland. There was also a lot of oil in the container. The duck/plum sauce was good but I would ask for 2. It's a really small container. Parking for this place isn't too challenging but it can be. There's not a lot of spots but it's shared with a plaza on the east side. So compared to the Del Mar one or this one, I would prefer the Del mar one because of how salty the duck is. Pricing for this place is a bit on a higher side compared to other Chinese BBQ places but they are more of a sit down restaurant and not like a To-Go only place. One thing I don't like is the credit card minimum, it's 25 dollars. So if you just order like one item, you're not going to hit the 25 minimum to use a CC. That's a pretty high minimum. Overall, decent food, really high credit card minimum of 25 dollars.

    Came in on a Tuesday for dinner and the place was empty. Having been to Ho Kee in San Gabriel, we knew what to expect at this Arcadia location. Here's what we ordered: Chicken Wings with Salt & Pepper - SO crispy with delicious fried seasoning. Perfectly cooked, super juicy, and packed with flavor. Totally worth it. (5/5) Shrimp Chow Fun with Egg - A classic done right. Loved the gravy, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Solid dish. (4.5/5) Tomato Beef over Rice - Simple but tasty. Note that this was $2 more than advertised on the menu, so be aware. (4/5) Overall, the portions were generous and prices reasonable. A few items weren't exactly the menu price, which was a bit annoying, but the food was tasty and hit our cravings perfectly. The restaurant itself looks great, and I'd definitely come back.

    Delicious Hong Kong food at reasonable prices. The family style tofu is a standout as well as the milk tea. I'd recommend coming here for a dinner or late brunch on the weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfortable eating area to enjoy your meal, with solid service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We came here late at night after a workout 8:30 but we were worried since they close at 9. The employees did not mind at all and were very welcoming. No need to worry about coming near closing. We ordered the classic dishes and each were pretty good. I liked the crispy tofu the most. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance makes you feel like you're in an authentic chinese restaurant with cool Oriental roofs protruding out the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For the drinkers, they serve alcohol. For the soft drinkers, they have iced lemon black tea with reduced sugar option. Pretty cool for the calorie conscious.

    Food came out hot and delicious. And the staff took the time to go over any questions we had about the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is clean and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A bit chilly but it's better than it being stuffy and hot. This is my second time coming here and like the first time it was a great experience.

    This is your typical Hong Kong cafe styled food. We came during lunch time for their lunch special between 11am and 3:30pm, which comes with steamed white rice and the daily special soup for $12.99. We were seated right away and the servers there were nice and courteous. My wife ordered the roasted duck over rice and I ordered the sole fish filet with soy bean and pepper. The roasted duck seemed to be the go to dish as people around us ordered it. My wife thought this dish was just OK. It also came with vegetables, so that was nice. The fish filet was flavorful and I enjoyed it. The sauce went well with rice and the fish filet was tasty. We would return to try the other items on their lunch special. It seems pretty standard with other Hong Kong style cuisines. If you're looking for something quick and easy, stop by and try this place out!

    Lunch specials $12.99
    Josephine C.

    My sister and went to Ho Kee Arcadia to try $12.99 lunch specials on a Saturday afternoon in late November. By 11:24am, most of the tables were filled of people eating. The staff are nice in canto, mando, and some English. We ordered beef chow fun, 1/2 order of bbq pork, 1/2 order of roast duck, black beans fish, sweet and sour pork, and French style beef. The server gave us free soup to drink. One dish came one at a time. My favorite was French style beef which was tender, roast duck has meaty pieces, bbq pork was lean not fatty, I wished sweet and sour pork was more fried and crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was nice with tv in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good on refill water and container for leftover food. Plenty of parking in the back.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor & outdoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is small. They share the lot with several other establishments in this plaza. Parking spots sizes are decent. Food: I ordered from the lunch special menu, which came with a complimentary ginger daikon soup. The soup was pretty palatable, but nothing to rave about. Sometimes, simplicity is the best. The daikon was cooked till it was nice and soft. Anyways, I ordered the string beans with minced pork meat. The string beans needed to be cooked a minute or two longer. They were a bit tough to bite on. The minced pork meat with the dish made this dish more flavorful and tasty. Next, I ordered the braised beef stew with daikon. Omg. The braised beef stew with daikon was so fricken delicious and mouthwatering. I would highly recommend ordering this folks. The beef stew was so incredibly rich, tender, and juicy. The daikon was soft and flavorful thanks to being cooked with the beef stew. They charge $2 extra per bowl of rice if you order off the lunch special menu. I was not aware that they charged for bowls of rice, so I was surprised. That needs to be disclosed somewhere. For the undisclosed charge of the bowl of rice and kinda tough string beans, I decided to remove one star. Staff: The staff here are very fast, attentive, and friendly. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

    Lunch special for 12.99 7 days a week is something you should not miss. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Large portions, tasty, and plenty of seating makes this a sleeper deal for decent Cantonese style food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today we enjoyed beef upon and Peking pork chops. I was pleasantly surprised that the pork chop wasn't full of fat and also was tender.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is one of my favorite spots for roasted duck. Their duck has noticeably less fat between the skin and meat compared to other well-known chain restaurants, which makes it a standout. This time, I decided to dine in for lunch for the first time. I arrived on a Saturday afternoon and was seated quickly, surprisingly, it wasn't too busy. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they offer a lunch menu on weekends, which is rare compared to the places near my house. Initially, I considered ordering from the regular menu for larger portions, but the server let me know that the lunch portions are the same, so I went with the lunch menu. I ordered the half roasted duck, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried string beans, and salty fish fried rice. Everything was on point, though the sweet and sour pork ribs didn't quite meet my expectations, I was hoping for more vegetables, as I've had in similar dishes elsewhere. Maybe it goes by a different name here. Overall, it was a great experience with solid food at a good price. I'll definitely be back again for lunch.

    We came back again this week and ordered the set menu today. Everything was so fresh and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. The Chinese food here is excellent -- very well prepared and full of flavor. We truly enjoyed the meal and will definitely be back again. Thank you!

Got the Lemon Tea ($2.50) and it was very refreshing. I requested it without sugar so I really enjoyed how it was unsweetened without being bitter or bland.

The food is consistently good, honestly better than a lot of nearby places that charge quite a bit more. What won me over right away, though, was the breakfast combo. Two dim sum items and a hot drink for just $14 is a genuinely good deal. A cold drink is only $1 more (typical HK practice), and you can also take your drink to go for another $1, which is a nice little convenience. I'm pretty particular about milk tea, so I don't say this lightly: their half coffee, half milk tea really hits the spot every time. It's balanced, and satisfying. Beyond the combo, they also serve all the comfort staples, porridge, fried chow mein, Chinese donuts, and my personal favorite, rice noodles with a variety of fillings. It delivers the same comforting flavors you want from a casual dim sum-style breakfast, but without the inflated prices, long waits, and hectic atmosphere that have become so common at more traditional dim sum spots. This place is a solid, dependable replacement for the usual dim sum experience. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. The driveway can be a little tricky. It sits right next to the Taco Bell drive-through exit, separated only by a fire hydrant, so it's easy to miss or get confused when pulling in. But it's a small tradeoff for a spot that delivers this much value and consistency.

It was decent but more on the savory side. Overall, we were glad to find a restaurant with dinner specials.

My fiancé and I surprised ourselves with this meal to be honest, and decided we have to come back to Mr. Champion more.

To eat, their Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls (comes with 4 rolls) and a Pork & Preserved Egg Porridge.

Is a side of pickled veggies really cost $2.30? Would this have made my porridge more enjoyable if I had it? Yes, because I am used to adding zha cai in my porridge so why not just add the pickled veggies to the price of the porridge and give the customer the option to add it or not on the side? *crying face* I understand I know just went on a tangent about pickled veggies, but I hope a reader can understand my dilemma haha! A great part of my day was to have enjoyed their Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls. They come with 4 per order, so if you are in a group of 2, it's perfect to share and enjoy 2 rolls per person. Their noodle rolls are probably the best I've had in the states. They are perfectly plump, tender, and slightly chewy. A little translucent, very delicate. They are what I imagine if I was having a dream of eating noodle rolls. So yes, if you visit here, definitely get their noodle rolls. They helped me with my dilemma about the pickled veggies with my porridge a lot haha! Their service was quick and efficient. We were seated in a minute and finished our meal in under 30 minutes. It's the perfect place for a quick breakfast that is affordable, delicious, and totally worth your wallet. I'll definitely see Mr. Champion soon!

Food: Food is decent but not the best. Their rice rolls are not the dim sum types. Instead the meats are placed on the exterior. I usually order their beef stew noodle and wonton soup here. Service: I've only dined in once and that was nearly 10 years ago. The service is usually pretty good. Environment: Parking is easy. The plaza isn't that busy but somehow this tiny restaurant gets a decent amount of business. Clean interior with semi quirky designs.

    To say that I have been planning to go to, Newport Seafood, is an understatement. It is considered…read moreto be one of the best destinations for fresh seafood, with the accent on Chinese cuisine. What has shunned me from this place, is the distance and the traffic, from the SFV. Finally, I made the journey. And arrived for lunch, on a weekday. To come here and not order their iconic Signature dish, the House Special Newport Style Lobster, would be a sin. Imagine a trip that was almost 40 miles and an hour of traffic (one way), with no reward. It was time to experience the real thing. The signature dish. Walking in solo, I was given a booth. I liked that. On seating, I ordered a beverage to quench my thirst, catch my bearings and breath. Almost immediately, the servers kept bugging me to order. The place was barely 1/4th occupied. Whats the hurry. After all this, I had to repeatedly tell them, that i had already spoken with a server, regarding my order. Just wanted to relax first, catch my breath, sip my beverage. Coming here, I was aware that their tank lobsters would be in the 4-6 pound range. Good for, and ordered by, at least 3-4 people. So when I, as a solo diner, ordered a 4-pound lobster (with no other choice), just for myself, they began to leave me alone and give me more respect. The cut up wok prepared, House Special Newport Style Lobster, arrives wonderfully presented, with heaps of leeks, scallions and jalapenos. My kind of recipe. Truly unique and exceptional. There is no sauce, and only a mild flavor, yet tasty. My biggest concern here was (after reading numerous internet reviews), that the lobster would be rubbery and dry. Not so for me. I lucked out. Problem here is, while there is lots of meat (a 4 pound lobster will yield at the most, about a pound of meat), they do not have, or provide, the essential lobster cutlery, to do justice to this beautiful crustacean. I did ask though. They did not seem to care and told me to use my fork. LOL. Steamed rice is complimentary. So is a soup, with sweet and sour, being the only choice (I did not like this). Either way, my plan was to take leftovers (there was a lot), home, where I possess high class lobster cracking tools. And thank heavens I did. They were most useful, to crack and dig into all the lobster meat, that would have been inaccessible at the restaurant. With additional TLC, the leftovers held up well, to provide several additional lobster meals. Need to go back to try their enticing and reasonably priced variety of lunch specials (more seafood, choices minus lobster). Another sought after box on my list, is now checked.

    Arcadia Garden Cafe is a longtime neighborhood favorite serving classic Hong Kong-style café fare…read morein 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.

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.
