Came here for the first time and food definitely did not disappoint. Been to other multiple Hong Kong Cafe locations and this one in Walnut seems to have the best service. My daughter I ordered 3 separate dishes to share and my favorite was the Baked Cream Sauce Fish Fillet with Rice. Hers was the Baked Chicken with Pasta. Also got the Curry Chicken and surprisingly, it had more chicken than potatoes (fine with me since I am not a huge fan of potatoes). Their iced Lemon Tea passed my taste test. Decor here, like other Hong Kong cafes, is cute with replicas such as an old school phone booth and various memorabilia. Since I was born in Hong Kong, it sure made me felt a bit nostalgic. I look forward to coming back soon to try out their breakfast menu.
The food is so delicious. Will be back soon to try other dishes. The staff is hard working and nice. The inside is cutely decorated.
Highly recommended! Both of my kids love to come here to eat! Their staffs are super friendly and the food tastes very good!
This place was quite good. I had never been to a Hong Kong Cafe before and I thought it was very on the nose that it this place was named Hong Kong cafe. The rice and minced pork was super good. Good sweetness and texture. The chow fun was good but I think I would have preferred soy sauce option over the black bean option. The crispy noodles had a really good texture that I really liked, but I wish they were in a diff sauce. A more savory soy sauce or a more salty peanut sauce would have been great. I also like the ambiance and service was also pretty good! the food did not take that long to come out. Everything was pretty affordable and parking was really simple to find as well! Overall, I would recommend going to this place! I think most people would really enjoy it!
Hong Kong Cafe provides for a convenient and quick meal if you're on the go (and super hungry). This one is located in the City of Walnut within walking distance of Mt. Sac. The interior includes an old school phone booth, as well as neon lights and other OG cantonese design on the wall and throughout the restaurant. We ordered almost everything on the menu, including baked pork chop, pasta, curry, beef clay pot, charsiu bao, and several other dishes. In terms of food, it is very similar to some of the other solid cantonese restaurants, Tasty Garden, DFC, and countless ones in MKP. There's no outstanding dish, but nothing to avoid either, at least from the ones we ordered. Service is generally quick but you do have to make an effort to get their attention.
I stopped by last week for lunch . The service was quick & friendly . I ordered the beef hotpot with noodles & tea . Price point was the same as other spots . The portion of beef was very little compared to the mountain of Napa cabbage its was 80% vegetables and not even 1/4 of beef or any proteins . I saw in my pot was a quail egg & imitation crab sticks and fish cake , tofu and just way too much of Napa cabbage o my & a few fresh pieces of tomatoes. The hot pot was very mid and lacked flavor and only thing I'd say was good is food came out quick & service & friendly staff this place as far as food goes isn't bad isn't the best it was mid for me . It was busy because if their lunch special it came in waves . I won't be coming here again.
Yummy cantonese diner food with a modern interior space! They have lots of options on the menu and a lot of the food we tried was pretty good. I like the sweet and sour pork ribs and the pork chop dish! They were very helpful with our large party and provided quick service to our group
Nostalgic Hong Kong-style cha chaan teng vibes in SoCal!!! Located in the City of Walnut, the moment I stepped in, as a Hongkonger, I just couldn't resist snapping some good shots haha I was feeling under the weather that day, so I was really happy to have some comforting food. Our all-time favorite: the baked pork chop spaghetti -- such a big portion and perfect for the whole family to enjoy! Their lunch special is only $14 -- we had the minced pork rice with milk tea. There's also a huge variety of drinks. My kid got her Milo, and I tried the new goji and red date tea -- so soothing and healing. A sick day made better with comfort food. IG: socalhkfoodies
Great value and great food in this Hong Kong style cafe. We went around 10am Sunday and it was not busy, and it was not busy throughout. As usual for these types of places, you need to flag down a server to fulfill requests, but these and the food are served very quickly. There's breakfast/lunch specials where drink is included or discounted, and there is food on the main menu that is pricier but larger portions and more lunch/dinner regular items. We got the chicken steak with mushroom sauce, beef chow fun, and chicken steak with pineapple bun. The latter 2 came with drinks at a discount - $1.95 surcharge for either hot or cold drink so we got 1 hot and 1 cold milk tea. The biggest value factor is that drinks are unlimited refills upon request. Chicken steak is pretty solid, though a bit more fat than I would have liked. Mushroom sauce is decent. The beef chow fun is large portions with generous amounts of beef. The noodles are cooked to a nice al dente texture. Chicken steak with pineapple bun is huge. It's good but something I don't plan to other again due to redundancy of the dishes we got. All the food is well priced in comparison to neighboring HK cafes, so this edges higher in the ranking of these places in SoCal.
I've been Hong Kong Cafe a few times and I've never been disappointed. The service is always great and the food is always delicious. Ambience wise, this place isn't much, but I don't care about ambience when the food is this good.
Wanted to stay local for dinner while visiting home and Hong Kong Cafe did not disappoint!! I haven't been here since the old ownership, and this was soo much better. The restaurant is clean, decor is nice, and service was fast and friendly. Nice portion sizes on all the food as well, and drinks were tasty too. I had the Grilled Chicken Steak with Black Pepper Sauce, which was one of the best I've had. The skin was crispy, while the chicken was still juicy. The sizzling steak was also really tender! We all split a Spam & Egg Sandwich in a Bolo Bun too, and it was a super fun twist on a traditional breakfast pairing. Highly highly recommend to check out-- one of the best restaurants in Walnut!
Took my Mom on a little dinner date and I actually saw this posting on IG, but for the Monterey Park location. My mom didn't want to eat a lot so she ordered the chicken wings appetizer serving. She wanteda side of rice, soi decided to order a rice dish so I can give her some of my rice. I preferred the beef tongue rice combo. Service was great and food came fast. The ambience was very much like HK. My wife being from HK, I took a "just like home" picture. Reminded me more of an intimate Alice's kitchen.
I really wanted to like this place and I had high hopes, but I was left feeling dissatisfied. The food is mediocre. We ordered a baked bolognaise, chicken steak with spaghetti and mushroom sauce, and pork chop/chicken steak with spaghetti and mushroom sauce. Also ordered a to go order of seafood noodles and fish clay pot on the side. The flavor of the bolognaise is bland and the noodles were overcooked. The chicken steak had a lot of fat. I wish it came with more veggies. The service was not very good. Food took forever to come out. They messed up our orders and we had to wait an additional 30 minutes for the take out after we had finished eating. They said the chefs had gotten confused. Overall, it did not meet my expectations. But I will try the other locations one day.

I was recently at Hong Kong Cafe - Atlantic and got their Freedom Passport card. The promotion offers free good when you spend $20 or more at each of their 4 locations. Once you have collected all 4 stamps, you may redeem the free food offer. Hong Kong Cafe in Walnut is my 3rd location. They are located within the Walnut Hills Village that is right across the street from Mt. San Antonio College. Free parking is available. This place is bigger than Hong Kong Cafe - Garvey, but smaller than Hong Kong Cafe - Atlantic. I haven't visited their Rowland Heights location yet. I'll see where that one fits. I originally called to order, but I didn't have their menu in front of me plus I was driving. I decided to come here to order instead. Great inside space with limited outside seating. Very cute decor with the Hong Kong theme. Good vibes all around. Menu has a vast selection of food and drink items. Prices are very reasonable. Entire staff was super friendly and cordial. Got a few dishes, a dessert, and a couple drinks. Wait time wasn't too bad. Spent over $70. Got my 3rd stamp. Thanks! 1 Beef Chow Fun with Supreme Soy Sauce - great wok taste, must get! 1 Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup - sweet shrimp wonton, very good! 1 Sizzling Cauliflower Pot - tons of Taishan cauliflower, great portions! 1 HK Style Egg Waffle - light and crispy, but they broke it into pieces! 1 Red Bean Shaved Ice with chocolate ice cream - divinely delicious! 1 Red Bean Shaved Ice with vanilla ice cream - super sweet treat! I see myself coming back to this location. Love to dine-in next time. If you haven't tried Hong Kong Cafe, this is a good place to check out. On my way to my 4th and final stamp... read more

Hong Kong cafe is an authentic restaurant located in a large plaza in Walnut. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is nice and the restaurant has cozy vibes. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They had very delicious dishes to choose from. I was debating which dish I will order. Then I ordered many dishes to try. We had -Seafood chow Mein 5/5 It was delicious, filled with different types of seafood and vegetables. -Baked chicken with pasta 5/5 The dish was enormous. It was very savory and filled with generous amount of chicken pieces. -Pork simaui 5/5 Was fresh,rich, savory,had juicy and yummy fillings. -Pork Dumpling XLB 4/5 It was juicy and tasty. -Congee with chicken 5/5 Very comfort and soothing food, aromatic too, and filled with generous amount of chicken pieces. The service was fast. The server checked on us frequently. The quantity was enormous and great quality of food with unbeatable prices. We had such a pleasant time at Hong Kong cafe. I will be back for sure. read more

Great Hong Kong cafe in Walnut. They have multiple locations but this one is my favorite one. They have popcorn chicken here and sizzling steak plate. Popcorn chicken has good seasoning and crispy. The sizzling steak is a piece of fried steak and goes perfect with the black pepper sauce. Grilled onions underneath adding aromatics. The salted fish with chicken fried rice was also tasty from the salted fish. They add good amount of salted fish and rice fried well. Mixes even better with the chili oil they have! Quick service and still enjoy the HK decorations. read more
Authentic HK cafe food with plenty of options to choose from. Combination pork chop + chicken steak with black pepper sauce. It's a bit smaller and less juicy than other HK cafes at 626, but the black pepper sauce is real good. Fried Squid with Pepper Salt- crispy, fried well and flavorful HK style Bo Lo Bao- pineapple bun- included a huge slab of butter since it's HK Style, but I removed it from the bao. The bao was good but I've had fresher and better ones Almond milk tea- tasted strong black tea which was good, but missing some almond flavor . They charge extra for less creamer lol Free refills for lemon iced tea- it's good! It tastes a bit different than other HK ice teas since they add in lime. Overall it was good ! HK cafe always hits the spot! read more
This was a hit or a miss- on the night of my visit, it was a bit off. Ordered the salt and pepper calamari/veggies/ and a Baked pork chop over rice. While the calamari and veggies tasted good; the baked rice was just overly doused with sauce and tasted slightly sour (that is not how it's supposed to taste). Maybe to overcompensate for the dried pork-chop the kitchen just decided to pour on the cheese white sauce to all over the rice dish...Hmm. Overall, was expecting a bit more from this HK style restaurant. read more
A breakfast diner that teleports you to Hong Kong with neon street sign decor! This spot offers traditional combo meals with buns and warm milk teas! Servers were kind and attentive to my family party of 6. We got a variety of noodle dishes, wonton soup, buns, and milk tea. It's clean and bright inside too! read more

The food came fast and was nice and flavorful ordered the hot & spicy beef tripe & tendon rice lunch platter. Food was cooked just right and the right amount of spice. Service was fast and the servers are very helpful. Great place the ambiance was peaceful not hectic at all plays soft music inside. Over all will be coming back here. read more
So I couldn't believe this place was related to the one in Monterey park. Got the rib eye and it included onions which made it extra flavorable. Compadre got chicken steak. Plus, got red bean drink and pineapple bun with butter. Food flavor was excellent and if in the area a must try. Staff friendly and ample parking. The reason for my rating is not due to food but they left the door open and their were flies buzzing inside. That's a big health hazard. If they can fix that this place is 4 stars. Plus, great location down the street from Cal Poly Pomona. I would come here everyday if I was going to school there. No dorm food. I gather they get a lot of students. read more

My friend and I came to Hong Kong Cafe for brunch and we were pleased with our food. We ordered popcorn chicken, beef chow fun with supreme sauce, and chicken steak w/ onion in HK style boluo bun. Everything was so delicious, I would come back to try the other boluo sandwiches. read more

5/5 stars. After trying the new Hong Kong Cafe near Puente Hills shopping mall and then coming here to try the original/older location here in Walnut, I would say that I just became a fan of their Hong Kong Cafe foods now, no matter the location. Both are decent in pricing and you get a new experience each time. Food quality and service is just outstanding and unique for casual Hong Kong style street foods. We absolutely enjoyed visiting. Cute decorations as usual. Good vibes and generous menu selections. Yes, authentic and legit in food quality, food presentation, portions, taste, etc. This location has more customers and can get pretty busy and loud inside with customers talking out loud/Cantonese style. Plenty of tables and chairs available. Male staffers are experienced. This location doesn't have as many TVs turned on, but it's definitely original. Beef noodles with veggies was legit. Iced HK milk tea & iced watermelon beverages were good. Chicken steak spaghetti with cheese was baked in good hot dish. It's definitely a casual place for all your favorite Hong Kong foods. Chefs are good and everyone seems passionate about their jobs. You can feel it's a happy Cantonese street cafe. Inexpensive and quite affordable. I would eat at Hong Kong Cafe locations instead of Delicious Food Court chain which includes breakfast items too, but much pricier there. Vibes are more hometown style here. You can easily chat up a storm with servers if you can speak Cantonese or Mandarin. We will be coming back next time. Delicious. read more

Delicious foods! We had the tomato beef chow mein, garlic choi sum, popcorn chicken, and pan fried rice noodle rolls. Growing up there was a Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area we went to all the time and I would always order the tomato beef chow mein. This dish seems difficult to find in other places, so when I saw it on the menu here, I had to try it. And I'm so glad we did! It was super delicious - the beef was so nice and tender. The choi sum was cooked perfectly. The popcorn chicken was so flavorful! The pan fried rice noodle rolls were good, but maybe not something I'd feel the need to get again. Not that it was bad, it's just there are more items I'd love to try from their menu! Definitely hit this place up if you're looking for delicious food. We went around 7:30pm on a Sunday night and it was still a happening place. We were quickly and easily sat, but there were still lots of filled tables and more people still coming in! read more
Pretty decent Cantonese/Hong Kong style cafe that offers a pretty big menu that you typically find in the heart of the SGV. I would prefer Delcious food corner as the quality here isn't as good, but this will satisfy the cravings of you're looking for baked rice dishes, chow fun, egg waffles etc. The only dish I do not recommend is the fatty beef with XO sauce. I took gamble and ordered an item without a picture and it turned out to be boiled brisket sliced over a ton of bean sprouts. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't order again. The crispy chow mein was good as they fried the noodles better than Delicious food corner. They were able to accommodate and sub the beef for chicken. All the chicken here is thigh meat. The popcorn chicken was a bit dry. Overall fast, affordable, and hardly a wait for seating even though it seems busy for a Friday night. read more

Nicely decorated place. They have decorations of their name on the wall, a cute telephone booth, their cups and tablesetting were all customized. Service was decent. Better than your typical dim sum type service but wouldn't classify it as amazing service. Food: overall decent Steamed egg yolk buns: nice size, well steamed, tasty sweet inside, well worth it Congee: not bad, hard to mess up, they went heavy on the ginger which I prefer less of Beef noodles: not bad but not enough soy sauce flavoring, texture of noodles was good and the beef not overcooked but the flavors of the noodle were lacking HK milk tea: not enough condensed milk but requested for more and problem was solved Overall not a bad spot. Menu may not have been as diverse as other places. I was impressed by the decorations. Have had better spots but enjoyed it. Food: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 4/5 read more
