    Empress chicken half portion
    Tintin B.

    Good wholesome comforting Chinese food for the whole family. I ordered the traditional Empress chicken half order and this was mild flavor and tasty not too salty. I didn't love the second dish because it's way too salty because of the fermentation of shrimp paste. But overall a nice experience for new restaurant one year newly opened here. Definitely recommend to try other dishes from the menu and more veggies for sure to offset the salty dishes. Good food and good quality for the price in nice neighborhood.

    Yellow eel claypot

    I enjoyed everything we ordered! Yellow eel claypot and Taishan loach. Don't be ditzy and forget to drizzle the sauce over the claypot rice like us! Only thing is, I feel the portions were a bit small for the price. But it could be due to rising costs and high rent. It is a very popular shopping plaza. The loach was great, but beware of bones. Also, you get the whole fish and see the head and eyes. So if someone is afraid of that, it's not for them. I just ate the whole thing; very tasty! Our waitress was very attentive and always refilling our waters. The restaurant specializes in Taishan food, which is where my family is from. So I was really excited to try it. Glad it was good!

    I can't really complain about the food. It's on par for your average Chinese restaurant. The service was decent, and the staff was good. I wouldn't say it's the best Chinese food I've had, but it's not the worst either.

    Stir-fried Chicken with Chestnuts

    I picked Hong Kong Kitchen (HKK) in Rosemead to have lunch with my Mom and brothers + their family because I wanted to try the Green Tea Ice Cream Cake from Tanbii Bakery which happens to be within the same shopping center as HKK. Does this make sense? LOL HKK just opened several months ago. It's located in The Square Shopping Center. Lots of free parking, but they do get super packed on the weekends. This restaurant has good interior seating space. Its wall art gives it a Hong Kong feel to it. First time visit. They weren't super busy for Sunday lunch. Maybe they do more business in the evening. Menu has a good selection of dishes. Prices range between $15 - $20+ per dish. We ordered for 9 people when we only had 6 people LOL. That's how it's done! 1. Beef Fried Rice - My niece said it was good. 2. Beef Navel with rice in clay plot - My sister-in-law said it was decent and wished there was more beef. 3. Empress Chicken - This is very fresh and tasty. Chicken was very tender. My Mom approves and so do I! 4. Fried Chicken Wings - Nothing spectacular. Just fried chicken wings. Seasoning could be better. 5. Frog with rice in clay pot - I enjoyed this one. Sauce was perfectly flavored not too salty. However, I would have liked more frog. 6. Spare Ribs + Black Bean Sauce - Not too bad. The meat could have been more tender though. 7. Spare Ribs + Black Bean Sauce with rice in clay pot - My brother said he liked it, but wished it had more spare ribs. 8. Stir-fried Chicken with Chestnuts - My brother said this was amazing and it was! Lots of flavorful chicken. Definitely would get again. 9. Taishan Salted Chicken with Tang Yuan - We all loved this dish! Soup was very authentic... no msg taste... the real deal! Tons of tang yuan and other ingredients. Must try! Staff was friendly. Service was good in the middle and towards the end of our meal. However, at the beginning, our first dish came out and we didn't have any plates or bowls in front of us LOL. Anyway, I do see myself coming back here to try their other Hong Kong and Taishan dishes. Thank you HKK! Tip: if you want more protein than rice, I would recommend getting the protein dish and have steamed rice with it versus getting the protein with rice in clay pot. But if you want to experience the clay pot, then get the clay pot... just know protein portion may be small IMHO.

    wild bamboo shoots fried with beef

    Second time here and still amazed by the rice clay pots. The beef and egg claypot one is beef patties, the minced beef is seasoned (not overly salty) and the egg is 80% cooked (perfect to mix with the rice). Nice rice crisp on the bottom. My friend really liked the yellow eel, it is hard to find in the area. Nicely seasoned and nice rice crisp on the bottom. Chicken and chestnuts pot: we have tried this dish elsewhere, but I think they have one of the best so far. The chicken is tender and chestnuts cooked perfectly. The flavor is great as well, nicely seasoned. Definitely a great meat option. And it comes with rice. Service was above average and acceptable. We went on a Sunday night, and they were not as busy as our previous visit on a weekend night.

    We arrived around 1:10 on Father's Day Sunday and were seated almost immediately. The menu was actually quite unfamiliar to me, despite eating at Hong Kong cafes my whole life, so be aware of the unique selection available, as other reviews mention. We ordered: Steamed Rice Noodle Rolls with Shrimp, a fried donut, a Wonton Noodle Soup, and a Frog with Rice in Clay Pot. The rice noodles were tasty but the other dishes were unimpressive. Wonton noodle soups are bland, and this one was king of the blandest soups. The clay pot was also nothing to write home about, though I'm always unimpressed with crunchy rice. It was strange that the pot was steel and not clay. The noodle soup took almost 25 minutes to come out and the clay pot took almost 40, so be ready to wait. Overall total was about $50 before tip. We will not be returning and I do not recommend this restaurant.

    This restaurant opened on 4/25. It is located inside a mall. The previous location offered Taiwanese food. It is kind of strange that it is named inside Hong Kong Cafe while the menu most of them are not offered at a typical HK style cafe. It offered hot pot rice, rice rolls, and other Chinese dishes. I tried the hot pot rice which tasted good. The soy sauce that comes with it was tasty. The service is attentive and polite.

    If I have to sum it up in one word it would be meh‍. Their signature dishes are the claypots so that what I will judge them on. The rice tasted good( but then again how can crispy rice not taste good) but everything else was bland and overpriced imo. They cook the claypot rice in steel pot, I'm assuming because it's faster, and easier to control the rice's crispiness. But what you lose is the simmering of the flavor from the toppings into the rice it self. And speaking of the toppings, the portion can really be improved. You literally have like 1/4 of a sausage, and two pieces of preserved pork and green onions fluffs the rest of the pot. I mean the skimpiness is just amazing. I do have to say tho, that the soy sauce is legit, and I did finish the pot of mostly rice, with the soy sauce. I don't think it's worth the price, but the rice is pretty good. That's why, it's a meh.

    I saw on Facebook that a new Taishan restaurant had opened, and interestingly, the name of the restaurant was actually Hong Kong Kitchen. It replaced Monja Taiker in the same spot, so I decided to come here for brunch. It's essentially the same size as Monja, so it's fairly small but there's enough seating. I went during its soft opening and grand opening period, so service was on the slower side even for Hong Kong/Cantonese/Taishan style restaurants. Took a while to get orders, but that's to be expected with new restaurants. We ended up getting the Taishan glutinous rice balls in soup as well as shrimp wonton noodles with rice noodles. For the sides we got one fried dough youtiao and one pineapple bun. The pineapple bun was fairly standard but the youtiao was quite good. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The wonton noodles and the glutinous rice balls were both soup style dishes and had similar flavors. However I did really enjoy the texture of the rice balls, and the wontons were solid. Overall, solid noodle restaurant, not quite a Hong Kong cafe, but tasty nonetheless.

    This spot is one of my dad's favorite go to places. We've eaten here multiple times. Our favorite dish is their squab/peking pigeon. The dish is just delicious. They come out juicy and crispy. We also ordered their braise geese in clay pot which didn't have a lot of meat, but it has tons of flavor. I think these two dishes are not your common dishes that you find in regular HK restaurants. We also ordered their signature steamed pork ribs. This is not your average dim sum flavor. I feel like the black beans they used is different and has a lot more flavor and gives this dish another level of depth. Service was good. Price is average. Dishes are unique. We also got 2 order of pineapple bun. This is the best pineapple bun I've had. It comes out fresh, crispy, and the bun melts in your mouth. Unfortunately we came during daytime so we had to order it. If you come during dinner time, it's free dessert. This pineapple bun is not to be missed though! Absolutely delicious. If you're adventurous, for this spot a try for their unique dishes.

    found in a huge plaza with the great wall market (previously the square market). this is a newer hong kong / cantonese styled restaurant in sgv! my mom saw her friend post this place on wechat and wanted to try so we went :-) the place was packed when we entered but they seated us quickly within a few minutes, after clearing a table of a group that just left. the service was so fast and the servers were really attentive and helpful! they speak cantonese and english here. the food was a 10/10! we ordered 8 dishes for 6 people and the bill was around $200 after tax and tip. we definitely had leftovers. everything tasted so comforting & reminded me of homecooking. the squab and clay pot rices were especially yummy. everything was flavorful, had great textures, and werent too salty. parking was ample in the parking lot & the restaurant was a good size. they have booth and table seating, walls lined with murals of hong kong. would come back!

    They accept credit cards if bill is above $25 so be prepared to bring cash. I got the morning deal and they refilled the milk tea when I asked if they provide Complimentary refills.

    Elaine Z.

    I ordered take out. I consider this more like Cantonese food - really homey and tasty. Everyone dining in ordered clay pot rice - I will be coming back to try that next timed. They even have rice balls for breakfast!

Won't allow to change some food on banquet menu, just had to add another dish. Food came out fast & with big plates, hardly any space on table, waiter just left it on top of 2 serving trays. They didn't care that serving plates were still full. The beef loc lac was tough, deep fried fish sauce tasted weird with their sweet sour sauce, pea sprouts which I was trying to change to another dish but couldn't, sure enough was so fibrous & chewy. The special fried rice was so full of all different kinds of meat that it was like a meal in itself. With 10 different dishes it would have been better to serve plain white rice. Felt service could been better for 18% service already added on bill. Tea was even charged. Had to ask for menu at cashier & was told already at table, asked for waiter so we can order, had to ask for water, spoons & forks or to have some serving plates taken away to have more space at table. There were few waiters & feel that they were not attentive and restaurant was not even busy. Even parking lot was not full but there was courtesy valet parking & girl was insisting on parking the cars even though several cars was starting to line up. I would never recommend or return to this place again. Just disappointed that my guests did not enjoy the food as well.

    Heard about how popular this place is so came with parents for mother's day weekend for dinner…read more There was already a line outside at 6:30pm and they have a tablet outside to add yourself to the waitlist, which is very convenient. And they have some chairs for people waiting. The wait wasn't too bad, around 25 minutes or so and they text you when the table is ready. They have a very nice interior design and not that many tables inside, but they do a good job of serving food fast so the wait times aren't bad despite the small space. There is a ipad at your table once seated so you can directly send your order to the kitchen instead waiting for the waiter. We got the Wagyu Beef Chinese Burger, Kurobuta Pork and Crab Meat Soup Dumplings, Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings, Stir Fried Noodles w Angus Beef, Dry Pot Cauliflower, and Sweet and Sour Kurobuta Pork Ribs. The waiters here were friendly and attentive, giving extra napkins and refilling our water cups often. The food was served in like ten minutes which is fast. I liked the Wagyu Chinese burger the most since the beef is stir fried very well and seasoned very flavorfully. It is just pricey for the size. The soup dumplings were all pretty good with good meat quality and dumpling skin. Each soup dumpling order only comes with 8 which isn't too bad for the price. The cauliflower and stir fried noodles were both pretty good too, very flavorful. The porb ribs were just average though and pricey for only 8 pieces that are not very big. The flakey beef rolls are also very good. Comes with four per order and the meat quality and skin was just perfect. Overall, this is a pretty good spot for soup dumplings and noodles, and I highly recommend the Wagyu Chinese burger. The portions are a bit small for the price but the food quality is good. I can see why there is always a line outside. Their service is also great and fast. I liked how they help pack your leftovers to-go for you. Will come back again!

We were…read moreable to call ahead earlier in the morning and ask if we could be on the wait list or reserve a table. They told us they could reserve a table for us at 6pm. We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.
