A 5:30 dinner on a Tuesday evening. Hong Kong Cafe appears to be the better restaurant for a reasonably priced family meal. We took advantage of one of the set menus. Last time, we got the $88 dinner and added three dishes. This time, I ordered the $168 dinner. I found out after I placed the order that instead of picking from the left side for the less expensive menu and the right side for the more expensive menu, we can select from either side for either menu! We also added one dish because my wife insisted that we needed more veg! Our server presented us with a bowl of House Soup. It was a great way to get our stomachs ready for the deluge of dinner about to happen! Whole Roast Duck - 3 - We had dinner the previous night at another Chinese restaurant and had a Peking Duck. It was odd that the Peking Duck was more moist than our Roast Duck. Yes, the fatty parts were fatty but the non-fatty parts were dry. Braised Beef Stew - 4 - Lots of beef. Excellent sauce. Missing Tendons and Daikon. Honey Walnut Shrimp - 3 - Even under the flavor of the sauce, I could tell that some of the shrimp weren't as fresh as they should be. No one else said anything so I let it go. Peking Rib - 5 - If I drank beer, this would be an excellent dish to nosh on while doing so. Crispy Fried Flounder - 4 - The flounder was okay, but the fins and tail didn't get super crispy so we could enjoy them as chips. The other thing that may have made it better for us might be a sweet and sour sauce. Chicken with Mixed Mushrooms - 4 - Yep, I'm a mushroom freak. I could care less about the chicken, but mushrooms? I'm there. Stir-fried Clams in Black Bean Sauce - 4 - These were okay. My wife said she got a bunch of empty shells. That happens sometimes. No idea what other people got. Chicken Chow Mein - 5 - got the skinny noodles fried soy sauce chow mein style. Yummy! Snap Pea Beef - 4 - Beef was tender. Could have used more snap peas. Overall, a decent dish. I also included pictures of the two "set" menus. Note that $88 comes with a 1/2 Royal Chicken while $168 comes with a whole Roast Duck. Service was okay. Food came in spurts. Soup. Wait. Two dishes. Wait. Wait. Wait. Most everything else. Wait. Last three dishes. read more

Usually love it, but bad experience today. 2:30 pm, 9/4/25. Not very busy. Service was very slow. Coconut chicken soup was just ok. Chicken was not flavorful. Found two hairs inside. Come on, HK, you can do better. read more

We arrived on a busy Sunday around 1pm for a table of 3 and were sat down immediately with some hot tea. We ordered hot and sour soup, steak and mushrooms, yang chow fried rice, and the bbq pork chow menu. The fried rice came out quick and was flavorful with shrimp and bbq pork but a little oily. The hot and sour soup was definitely spicy and could serve at least 5 people. My father in law didn't like that there was so much tofu in the soup but I didn't mind it. We ordered the small size chow mein and easily would have fed 5 people as well. However, the chow mein lacked flavor. I added soy sauce and it was better. The steak and mushrooms was very good and included 3 different types of mushrooms. Steak was nice and tender. Something strange was that we were never offered water then looked around and not one table dining had waters. read more

Came here for early dinner on a weekday and table was readily available. Parking is easy and plentiful. The restaurant is pretty good size and open with plenty of seating. Decor is very basic, quite typical for a Hong Kong style cafe. Wait staff is always friendly and welcoming. We ordered a Coconut Chicken Soup, half a Roast Duck, a Beef dish with green beans and mixed mushrooms, and a stir fried vegetable 腐乳椒絲通菜。My favorite was the Coconut Chicken Soup. The soup base was made with coconut juice and was very tasty and refreshing. The chicken was free range chicken and had good texture and flavor. The Roast Duck was reasonably good. The vegetable was fresh and well prepared. The beef quality could have been better. Overall it was a decent meal and price was affordable. read more

This is the kind of Cantonese food I grew up eating. Its hard to find good Cantonese food these days. It seems there are more fusion or other styles of chinese restaurants. The beef chow fun was made to order just how I asked, no msg, dry. The Gai Lan with garlic sauce was also just how I liked it. The pork won ton soup was a little on the plain side, while the won tons themselves were good sized, light and on the sweet side. None of the dishes were over salted like many restaurants serve. The serving portions are large. Looking forward to trying more dishes. read more

Good quality food here, though prices are a bit on the higher side for the area. But honestly, the flavors make it worth it for us. I stopped in during the afternoon and noticed they offer a lunch special menu; went with the mapo tofu plate and added a lemon tea for an extra dollar. The sauce had a gentle kick, nothing overwhelming, but that signature Sichuan pepper numbing effect came through nicely. The vegetables added a great bit of texture against the soft tofu, and the pork flavor was well distributed throughout the dish. Their mushroom tofu is another go-to for me. The mushrooms are big and juicy, and the tofu has that perfect contrast, soft on the inside with a slightly firmer exterior. I also tried the French toast, which leans pretty sweet on its own. Adding syrup pushed it a bit over the top for my taste, so I'd probably omit that next time. Overall, it's a solid spot, especially since it's in the same shopping center as 99 Ranch. read more

I've been on the hunt for the best baked pork chop spaghetti and as of right now, Hong Kong Cafe is top of the list! It's a little smaller portion compared to other places, but I love the sauce and tenderness of the pork chop here. The pork is thinly sliced too which makes it easy to eat, and the flavor of the sauce is perfection! This is a dish that does take a little longer to make, so just an FYI if you're eating with a group or short on time. My BF ordered the roast duck and roast pork combo, and I loved the flavor on both! The duck isn't too fatty and the roast pork had the right crunch I was looking for. We ordered this as a rice plate, so it came with a small side of cooked napa cabbage and two sauces. Both sauces were good, erring on the sweeter side, however the sauce you should really go for is the sa te one that's on the table. Totally elevates and complements the meat, and cabbage, as well as added that extra punch to my spaghetti. The sa te sauce isn't spicy, but it's jam packed with umami flavaaaa. They're on the left as soon as you walk into Pacific East mall. Parking lot is huge, however it's always packed in this lot. You'll find parking eventually though. The waiter was really nice but I noticed EVERY SINGLE TABLE got a tea pot except us. We weren't offered any nor did I ask for one, but I noticed they put one down on every new customer's table as soon as they sat down. Menu is large, prices are competitive and yes they do take card/Apple Pay. read more

Located in the Pacific East Mall with a Ranch 99, this spot is a great Hong Kong-style cafe addition to the area! Lots of parking in the lot (but make sure to put your valuables away!). We've come here for dinner a few times and are generally satisfied, with lots of leftovers! True to the hk style, there are lots of dishes to choose from. Portion sizes are large, and everything is shareable. Service is standard for a Chinese restaurant, but generally friendly. They also do dimsum on the weekend, and have lots of takeout options! Not a fancy spot, but great for a Chinese food fix. read more

We were craving for soup and ho fun after a hike and this place did not disappoint! This restaurant is inside a shopping plaza. Inside is super clean and spacious.

This might be our new favorite spot! read more

Their honey bbq pork was not fresh. It's been sitting there for a while. Smells rancid and I took one bite, also has a rancid taste. I eat bbq pork all the time. I feel like their quality has gone down hill a lot and there's inconsistencies in certain dishes. Last time I came ordered a beef dish that was marinated in cumin but underneath the cumin it also tasted rancid. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of one because the other dishes I ordered were fine. This place is def sus. I probably won't order or come back anymore. read more

Hong Kong Cafe - Look how gray it looks. - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, California

I went here on a weekday and it was packed! Service is quick and the food is tasty. It's nothing fancy but it's a good spot for casual Chinese food. We ordered off the set menu where you choose 4 dishes and they give you the Empress Chicken and soup for free. The whole meal was $88 and can feed 5-6 people. All of the dishes were pretty good but my favorite ones were the Hong Kong Style ribs and the salty fish chicken tofu. We also ordered bitter melon and ribs off the main menu which were also pretty good. Staff was friendly and parking is very easy as this is located in a large strip mall next to a Happy Lemon and 99 Ranch. I will be back! read more

For an authentic HK Cafe dining experience the HK Cafe in Richmond does not disappoint. Excellent HK Milk Tea, Beef Chow Fun that has good wok hay, and on point Singaporean chow mi fun... Service is what one may expect from a typical HK Cafe... fast, efficient and non nonsense kind of quick service. Seating is roomy with booth seating snd large round tables for larger parties. Overall a great spot for HK food at great prices. :) read more

After a fun day I'm SF, we stopped by around 4pm for a late lunch/early dinner at this cafe. So there was barely any customers and service was quick because there wasn't many guest yet. I really wanted to like this place because authentic Hong Kong style cafe food has been hard to find. Sadly this place was disappointing, the baked rice we came for had so much sauce. There was more sauce than rice and it was too sweet. It was hard to eat more than a few bites so we took the rest home. The beef chow fun was on a greasy side for me, but I did like that they added the yellow chives. The red bean ice drink was also too sweet for me. Overall, this place could improve if everything was just less sweet. read more

It was dinner served for lunch. Westlake soup, bbq pork, crispy pork belly, walnuts shrimp, cold cuts appetizers, salted fish chicken fried rice, scallops with Chinese broccoli, roasted duck, Peking duck with buns, sweet and sour pork. Braised tofu with veggies. We came after the luncheon rush was over. Had probably 7-10 tables. Service was fast, friendly, tasty. Parking lot outside. This is inside of an Asian mall that has other shops outside of the restaurant. Something here for everyone. read more

It is very typical cantonese food with a Hong Kong flair. Came in on a Friday afternoon and restaurant was about half full. Appreciate the food was not too salty as we had two elderly's in my party. Corn and Chicken Soup: Standard Chicken Corn Soup. It was more corn starchy than I liked Walnut Prawns: No complaints on the prawns or the candied walnuts but I have never seen this dish served as two separate components and without broccoli. Sautéed Pea Shoots: Always a favorite of mine but this dish was on the tough side. They definitely did not peel the older pieces. Seafood Noodles: Appreciate the amount of seafood in this noodle dish however too much corn starch was used in the sauce. Bell Pepper Squid Stir Fry: Good amount of squid and pepper. Flavor was good. Probably best thing we ordered. Overall this restaurant was okay, the staff was just the right amount of attentiveness however will likely not revisit. read more

Went for lunch to try their Peking Duck.... Well, it's tasty, but not crispy. The duck did not seem to be thoroughly cooked (see photo). I suggest they take more care in the prepping of such a dish. The cuts were very ragged, meat wasn't filleted, so could be dangerous to some (small jagged bones, not "cut", but broken. What I'm used to is a crispy duck with minimal fat (rendered). This was not the case here. read more

Amazing prices here for delicious food and a huge menu variety! I had the string bean chicken and was very happy about the portion size I was given. My friend got the $11 wonton noodle soup which also looked great. Service was very prompt and kind, they went above and beyond to swap the tv channels playing at our request! Spacious and cozy, they were able to accommodate a part of 11 very quickly. read more

Brought the Canto grandparents here for lunch on a Sunday around 11:30am. For having just opened at 11am, it was already pretty busy. There was no wait for our party of 4 though. We ordered 5 items and they came out relatively quickly. Lobster yee-fu noodles: For only $23ish, it's a pretty good deal. Decent amount of lobster and the noodles were soft and had chew to them. I think it could've used a little more seasoning, but this was my qualm with a lot of the dishes we ordered. Pork cheek: Pork was tender and sauce was good. I think I personally am not the biggest fan of this dish, but objectively it was cooked well. Snow pea leaves with garlic: One of my go tos at Chinese restaurants, and this one was yummy! Not too garlicky or too tough. And the portion was HUGE. Tofu with mixed vegetables: Savory sauce, maybe abalone? Tofu was good and veggies were cooked well. Beef chow fun: Again, big portion! Chow fun was good though, I personally think could've used some more seasoning/salt, but that's my preference. We ordered mainly off the specials menu, but overall the food was pretty decent. The selling point for me here is the prices and portions. The prices are pretty low compared to what i've seen elsewhere and the portions are so big. So in general, worth. read more

Hard to rate this place. The food was delicious! But I'm giving it 3 stars because the service was kind of chaotic. The dishes came out slowly one at a time with the fried rice coming out at the very end after we were almost done with everything else. So... we ate just chicken first, then duck, then veggies, and then rice LOL. Actually, I think they forgot about the rice dish, because we had to remind them. Ideally, it would have been nice to eat the rice alongside all the other dishes together. The service people were nice but seemed really really busy, running all over the place. read more

I'm down here in the Bay Area for work and a friend of mine wanted to take me out for,what he said was the best roast duck around. We go in and are seated quickly. We get tea to drink. He orders the roast duck. You can either get half a duck or the whole thing, and he got the whole duck, cause that was gonna be our main dish. Steamed rice was had as well. The duck arrives all sliced beautiful. I gotta say this was one of the best looking plated ducks I've seen. My first bit was like heavan decended upon my head and out me into a happy cloud! Wow, that skin and fat and meat all mixed together in my mouth was so freakin good! Yeah, a whol dick is kinda expensive, but not really if you figure it feeds two or three or you wanted. Service was fine, not much interaction beyound ordering and serving the food and collecting the check. I'd come back here for the duck anytime. Red Bluff where I live, sure doesn't have any roast duck like this! read more

I came here for dinner and this place was packed. Thankfully they had a small table available so I didn't need to wait. There were a lot of large parties dining in and it was loud. The menu had a wide selection of food choices. I got the Tomato Beef Chow Mein and it was delicious. The beef was really tender and the tomatoes were juicy. The noodles had a nice crunch with every bite. The sauce was sweet and tangy flavor and made everything in the dish taste so flavorful. I also got the salt & pepper pork ribs and it was good. The pork was tender and the outside was crispy. It was lightly seasoned and had just enough flavor where it didn't taste bland. It would have been great if it came with some dipping sauce. The dish did come with a few pieces of jalapeno peppers but the pork wasn't spicy. Service was a little slow. They did not have enough servers working all the tables. My server barely came back to check in on me. The only thing I needed was an extra tea refill. The food on the other hand came out in a timely manner. I actually had trouble finding someone to pay my bill. Eventually, I just got up and walked to the front counter and told the lady working there that I wanted to pay my bill. The inside of the restaurant was very clean. The tables were nicely spaced out so people had more than enough room to move around. One of their TVs actually had a Doraemon anime playing. Parking wasn't an issue since they were located inside the Pacific East Mall. read more

HK Cafe is a Hong Kong style Cha Chaan Teng with lots of classic dishes. We were passing by and stopped at this mall and gave this spot a try. The other option was Special Noodle. (Been to several locations) 3.9 on Yelp. The food was better than expected. Service was acceptable but not great. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Hainan style Chicken with special rice ($15.95) had lots of boney but nicely done chicken sprinkled with peanuts. Excellent ginger scallion dipping sauce and rice. This is one of the best versions in the SF Area! 10/10 Coconut Chicken Soup ($21.95) is a long boiled soup with lots of chicken and chopped up coconut. Deep flavors. 9/10 Gai Lan with Garlic ($14.50) was stir fried just right. Good quantity and flavors. Slightly greasy. 9/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Very Good Would we come back - Yes read more

Seafood Tofu Soup is a ripoff. It's mostly tofu and MSG & starch. There's barely any seafood. There were some tiny bits of shrimp, small cut pieces and tiny scallops, less than 6 tiny pieces each, thinly sliced cucumber barely visible, no other seafood or other ingredients. Cost $18.95. read more

Very authentic Cantonese food! All the dishes I've tried are very good. Great service as well.

Dinner took over two hours, and food came out at a painfully slow pace, about one dish every 30 minutes. The staff seemed overwhelmed and didn't really acknowledge the delays. The worst part: we ordered lobster noodles at the start, were told it was coming, checked multiple times, and waited while multiple tables that arrived after us finished and left. After another 30 minutes, we had to ask again and were finally told they didn't even have noodles. No one mentioned this earlier, which was incredibly frustrating. I'm so confused! So now I've wasted an hour waiting for a non existent dish and the waiters could care less. read more

I don't understand the 4 or 5-star reviews. This is the worst HK cafe I have ever visited. Whenever I visit one of these cafes, I order a hot HK milk tea, a club sandwich, and baked pork chop rice. The club sandwich didn't come with eggs inside, even though the picture stated otherwise. I know eggs are expensive, but c'mon! Next, the baked pork chop wasn't cooked right. I doubt it was baked. The red sauce looked like ketchup, and the pork chop tasted rubbery. Even though I was hungry, I couldn't finish my food. My significant other ate the rest and whatever was on my plate. Pros: Good customer service and comfortable chairs. read more
