If you're looking for authentic Hong Kong-style comfort food, this place is definitely worth a visit. The food is flavorful, the BBQ meats are delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. It has that classic Hong Kong fast-paced, casual dining vibe. The restaurant is usually very busy, and there are only a few small tables, so don't expect a fancy dining experience. If you're looking for great ambiance, this probably isn't the place. But if you want authentic Hong Kong flavors at a good price, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be back! read more

We liked the food here, it's Cantonese Comfort Food coming from an ABC American Born Chinese from California. The prices are a tad high, but we live now in 2026, so I have to realize that inflation from the past quarter century or longer has impacted the perception that a plate of Chow Mein or bowl of Won Ton costs more than the $3.95 of the 1980's and more than the $5.95-$8.95 of the 1990's and even more than the $10-12 of the early Y2K... so paying in the realm of $15-20 per entree I guess should be expected in 2026. The portions were good on the chow mein. The won ton soup (no noodles) came with 8 pieces of Won Ton which is average. I added roast duck but got the worst luck of the draw with the drumstick quarter (the best is the "breast" portion quarter) which comprised of a small piece chopped into 4 pieces that was lacking meat (skin and bones!!) and in hindsight, I should have skipped the duck or ordered a side dish of duck a la carte separate. The "To Go" was an interesting experience, as I ordered a 1/2 pound of Roast Pork (Siu Yuk) and true to Chinese butcher shop tradition, I should have said "I want $10 of Roast Pork" than what I said, which was "I want 1/2 pound of Roast Pork" as my mom told me whenever you order by weight, they tend to go way over that mark and assume it's okay, so what should have been $11 ended up being $18 and more like 3/4 pound than 1/2 pound so my own oblivious ignorance caused a 50% upsell. The biggest or oddest aspect was, for $18, the portion of what 3/4 lbs (12 oz) is, isn't that much. When you factor in the fat content and weight of the fat, there's not that much meat, and the "cracklin' skin" was good where it was, but was absent from portions of the serving, so I'd say I was disappointed overall in this. I think the rate was about $22/lb, which again in 2026 might make sense to be competitive FMV fair market value, but growing up in the 1990's as a consumer, seems too high to the good 'ol days of 30-40 years ago... again, nobody's fault by misguided perception by folks who are 50-60+ years old in 2026. I'd come back here, but would order differently. read more

东西是好吃的 服务态度一言难尽 老板娘的态度特别不好 感觉是来受气的 Foods are good. I will so it's probably the best Chinese BBQ around the area. Maybe this the reason why the female owner shows attitude to her customers. read more

Yummy and affordable Chinese BBQ place. I ordered their soy sauce chicken for the Chinese New Year party this year. Their BBQ stuff was pretty good. They have a BOGO whole soy sauce chicken for $44.99. The great promotion is the two-item BBQ combo rice for $7.99+tax or the three-item BBQ combo rice for $8.99+tax. They also have to-go specials for a three-item lunch box, only $6.99, or three-treasures rice with salted duck egg for $9.99. (To-go only) I ordered the two-item BBQ combo rice with BBQ duck and BBQ roasted pork, and my mom liked it. Please note that there is a minimum charge of $35 for all credit card transactions, or a $1 surcharge will be added. The place is small inside, but they have a few tables for dining in. read more

At 12:45 PM today, July 7th, I encountered a middle-aged cashier with a terrible attitude. A while back, after making a purchase, I asked her for a receipt; she didn't respond the first time, so I asked again. She then snapped at me loudly, "Can't you see I'm busy?" I let it slide back then. Today, after buying something, I asked for a receipt again. She ignored me the first time, and when I repeated my request--adding a "thank you"--she still ignored me. I just stood there waiting, and when she finally noticed me, she asked what I wanted. I told her I needed a receipt, please. She responded rudely, asking why I hadn't said so earlier. I was left speechless; I *had* said it several times, but she had completely ignored me. I was just there to pick up a takeout order--I wasn't expecting exceptional service, but surely the attitude shouldn't be that awful. read more

Ordered Beef Chow Fun for delivery and it came without the beef... Just a plate full of noodles.

Food is decent and ordering take out is quick and simple! Service is fair and only about three to four small tables available for dining at the restaurant. Casual ambiance with lots of foot traffic. read more

秋風漸起，落葉變黃，那些放在心裡念念不忘的，歲月遲早會給我們答案，把屬於夏天的故事珍藏， 用秋色來填滿新的一頁，都說秋天適合思念，其實我覺得秋天才更適合見面～ 第一次踏進這家應該是吃鴨肉的名店， 之前也有版友介紹，外面的招牌太吸引人， 6.99 一個便當，裡面也有三寶飯9.99 元的照片，不過都是外賣，我們兩個人點了半隻燒鴨， 一隻雞（買半隻送半隻），再來個青菜， 三道都好吃，價格跟一般餐廳差不多，完全沒有便宜， 應該是只有Togo 才會非常划算, 不過生意強強滾是真的， 一般星期三中午， 座無虛席， 外賣的地方也很多人排隊要買便當，小小的店面，非常熱鬧呢， 外場只有一個小姐在忙，這點也很厲害，大家喜歡這家店嗎？ read more

We ordered the seafood chow mein, Chinese broccoli with Satay beef and the 2 combination meat plate (roasted duck and roasted pork). All of the dishes were delicious! The seafood chow mein was crispy and flavorful. The Chinese broccoli with satay beef was tender. The roasted pork and duck were both crispy and juicy! The total for all this came out to about $58 before tax and tip. The meats were a bit too salty for our liking but it was still good! They give a free bowl of chicken soup for each person as an appetizer. Service was great and we received our food quickly. The restaurant is a bit small and had a limited amount of tables. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. I would recommend giving this spot a try if you're craving Hong Kong style food and HK barbecue! read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 08/16/25 during lunch time with my parents for the first time! We spontaneously found this location and wanted to try it out since we saw a bunch of customers dining in; this place is also pretty small. We had to wait around 2 minutes as the employees were cleaning up the table. We ordered the following: - 1 MK house special fried rice = $16.99 - 1 beef chow fun= $14.99 - 1 seafood pan fried noodle = $16.99 SUBTOTAL = $48.97 TAX = $4.77 TIP = $10 OVERALL TOTAL = $63.74 The wait time for our seafood fried noodle was quite long. We were given complimentary chicken feet soup which tasted amazing. The employees were very quick on their feet. Note that this place is rated B, not A. Overall one of the best Hong Kong and Cantonese style food you can ask for! read more

Service is a complete joke. I preordered several dishes through a third-party app. The restaurant accepted the order and gave me an estimated pickup time. I arrived after that time and asked if my order was ready. The lady at the front simply said, "No, not ready." When I asked what she meant, she said there was no one in the kitchen. I asked, "What do you mean no one is working in the kitchen?" She said they were off. I asked until what time, and she couldn't give me an answer -- just said, "I don't know, just wait" and then proceeded to ignore me. I asked if she could cancel the order since clearly no one was preparing it. She told me I could cancel it myself on the app. The entire time she was "speaking" to me, she made absolutely no eye contact, as if I didn't exist. I don't expect over-the-top customer service, but this level of unprofessionalism and disregard for customers is outrageous. Accepting orders when there's no one in the kitchen and then acting dismissive about it is unacceptable. read more

Quaint to-go in RH for solid Chinese BBQ. It has about 8-10 tables if you wanted to stop and enjoy a your meal. Dine-in orders come with a house soup (chicken feet and peanuts(?) stew). The roast duck was juicy and roast pork had a good crunch (not too hard and just right). Overall, nice flavors, clean and good service all around. A good find for those lazy nights you don't want to cook! read more

I came here with my family (total of 4 people) early on a Saturday evening right before New Years and were seated promptly. The front of the store sells their delicious roasted duck separately, while the back of the restaurant is the sit down area. The owner and other workers were very accommodating and we were able to order and get our food very quickly. We ordered the yang chow fried rice, shrimp wonton noodle soup, 1/2 steamed chicken, and 1/2 roasted duck. The meat was so tender and delicious, especially the duck - the semi-sweet sauce they provided as dipping sauce especially enhanced the flavor. I'm also a fan of steamed chicken and my only complaint is to beware of the little bone bits (I'm sure every seasoned steamed chicken enjoyer would understand). The fried rice was also full of flavor, and my mom especially loved the wonton noodle soup. Overall, I'd love to come back for their duck the most - I was so enamored that I ordered another 1/2 to go at the front of the store. Just be sure to bring cash, as purchasing with card incurs an additional charge - I didn't know that but they graciously allowed me to pay the original amount with card, which was so appreciated. read more

I've been searching for a place like MK BBQ Cafe and here it is - the BBQ cafe of my dreams. All I really want when I'm ordering from one of these places is a combo plate. Give me some BBQ pork and some roasted duck over rice plz. Most places do a good version of one of the two. And most places are very pricey. At MK Cafe, a two item on rice is only $12.99! I chose the roasted duck and crispy roast pork. Both were very moist and tender. The pork skin was also nice and crispy. Hands down my favorite BBQ plate. On a recent visit, I tried the minced beef with egg ($16.99). Their version of this dish is very wet. It's much saucier than any other version I've ever tasted. I appreciated it, but I do think I prefer the drier version of this dish. I did, however, likedthe addition of the diced bell peppers. It helped enhance the overall flavors of the dish. Highly recommend coming here if you're into BBQ pork or duck. read more

Ordered a double bbq mixed with rice. The choice I picked was chicken and bbq pork. When I got home and opened the container box， all I got was several pieces of bones from the back of the chicken, and one small piece of chicken breast. The bbq pork was all the burned charcoal corners and fat. Unbelievable, will never ever go back to this place. It's a rip off. read more

The food is always reliable and prob one of the best Hong Kong style bbq (think ducks hanging by the necks) in the RH area besides driving all the way san gabriel/rosemead. My wife also enjoys one of their seafood style tofu dishes and i always order the beef stew wonton noodle soup, it hits the spot every single time! Service here is no frills as you may imagine which is the norm for all asian restaurants. read more

We'll never order from them again. read more

MK BBQ Cafe - Chinese style bbq pork on the left, roast duck on the right. - Chinese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I was very disappointed with the level of customer service. Due to this experience, I will not be returning in the future.

The cashier has bad attitude , borderline trying to scam you. You want a certain item at certain pounds, say you want half a pound, the lady will grab a whole pound for you and charge you that. Pressure tactic, and she will chalk it up as their food is good so it's ok to buy more, which is a stupid argument. If you cannot sell by a certain weight then don't sell it, just don't grab and say this is what it is. Similar to other reviews , this is another version of overcharge, and their prices are not cheap already, will not come again because of this lady. read more

Walked by to the market and saw this place, and it's all in Chinese so I thought I give it a try since I enjoyed Chinese bbq. Walked in during lunch time 12:30-1pm on Wednesday and it has steady foot traffic for take out. There is special deal for takeout (not dine in). I got seated right away since I was the only dine in customer. Majority of the staff there speak Chinese and tiny English (I don't speak Chinese). But the menu does have English wording. I ordered 3 items over rice and ice tea or hot tea....i got iced water (at least I got 1/2 right). The service is nice, at least she trying to understand but lovely person. The place is clean and decor is simply and airy. Chicken feet soup came out and it part of the rice dish, compliments that is. It tasted good, and simi warm (even though the waitress said it's hot). The food came and it abit cold (the room is A/C and it's in 72-73 degrees so, was expected the rice will be hot and the meats will somewhat hot. But just simi cold. Tasty, moist, and tender. The dish cost around $13-$14 so not bad at all. Warmer would be nice. Easy parking since they are in big complex plaza. read more

Stood in line for take out for 60 minutes and line went nowhere. It should not take this long to manage a line for take out.

A gem in the East side tucked away in a dumpy strip mall. If you want authentic HK flavors, you should come . In addition to Chinese BBQ, sometimes the chef will have special fish and other seasonal dishes coming in. We had some special steamed fish. Don't be shy asking read more

I doordashed this place and it's pretty awful. I would've posted this on doordash but for some reason it won't let me. Crispy pork belly was dry and tough, with way too much rice and not enough pork belly. The 鲜虾云吞 Shrimp Wonton Soup tasted like the soup was made from store bought dashi powder, not authentic tasting at all. They also forgot to give me the extra sauce I ordered. I do not recommend this place. read more

2nd time at MK BBQ Cafe! They have affordable lunch specials and delicious bbq item combos that made this one of my now go-to spot in Rowland Heights. We happened to pass by this cute little restaurant in Rowland Heights inside Hong Kong plaza and decided to try it for ourselves. We got a 3 item combo of roasted duck (chopped with bones), honey glazed pork, and chicken with white rice ($8.99). Everything was good, but my favorite was the honey glazed pork & duck. So for our 2nd time, we got 2 orders of a 3 item combo (duck + 2 honey glazed pork), and one lunch special of sweet & sour pork ($12.99) Everything tasted better & fresher than the first time. We went around 11am and previously, we went in the afternoon. It's best to go before noon. Parking: Free Service: Excellent; friendly; fast service Ambiance: Clean; nice decor; saw a couple of tables for bigger groups of 8 people. Health rating: A Small con: rice could be better but for the price, I can't complain. I'll just get the bbq or other entrées by itself next time. Highly recommended and will try their other menu selections. Thanks, MK! read more

3.5 stars Definitely wasn't expecting any Michelin star quality of food or service but it does the job for the price! Opted to try the 3 item combo ($8) with sausage, bbq pork, and soy sauce chicken. Each plate also comes with a side of steamed veggies which is a great pairing with the protein. The bbq pork was a bit tough and chewy but the chicken was juicy at least. The sauces from the meats were soaked up in the rice for better flavor. Located inside the supermarket towards the back by the meat section of the store. Take out only - no chairs for dine in. Employees do not speak much English but enough to know what you want to order. read more

The chasui was meh at best, not overly tasty. Common practice to weight chasui (bbq pork) is seperate the juice/source and give a clean/clear weight of meat, then add source after, went home to use my own digital scale found out they charge me with source weight, so I was over paid about 4.65$ by their weight per pound. It is not a lot of money but it is the dishonesty that matters, not coming back here again with this type of sneaky dishonesty services. read more
