From the decor to the food, this HK cafe really transports you to Hong Kong. All of the interior is…read moremodern and fun, especially the street signs. They have all the HK classics with so much variety from noodles to rice. We got the Rice Roll with Mixed Sauce ($6.70) and Pork Chop Cutlet Bun ($8.19). We accidentally ordered the wrong bun though since I wanted the infamous pineapple bun one, but it was ok. The rice rolls are chewy with the sauces giving it all the flavor. Our main dishes were a Pineapple & Chicken Fried Rice ($11.33) and Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($13.34). Food was all done well and very comforting. I ended up with leftovers, which I happily enjoyed later. You also can't go to a HK cafe with the HK Style Milk Tea ($5.67), which I wished came in a bigger cup. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. So excited to have this around!

Stopped by High Five on a super rainy day, so a warm bowl of noodles was exactly what I needed! I…read moreordered the beef trio tomato noodle soup, and it was delicious. The tomato flavor really came through, which I personally love, and all the toppings were great! We also got the rice plate with pork and black pepper sauce, which was SO good. The balance of flavors was perfect, and adding a fried egg is an absolute must because there's nothing better than some yolky rice! The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the fried stuffed treasures. They just weren't for me, and I probably wouldn't order them again. Overall, such a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal. And of course, you can never go wrong with an HK milk tea. Always a must for me!

Tomato beef macaroni: lacked flavor, beef was a weird texture. Baked rice: smothered with a layer of sauce and cheese (you would think is a good thing?) until you see the raw vegetables mixed in with it. If you get seated by the wall, know that you'll have to interrupt the table next to you to get out. Additionally, when the table next to us left and a new customer walked in, she was seated to THAT table right away (no one came to even wipe the seats or table) with the rice crumbs and milk tea splatters left on that table! Foul. I'm never coming back. What a waste of calories.

Extensive menu, but my friends came several times before, so we knew what the good dishes were here: - Curry Fishball Cherng Fun: Warm, soft, and fresh! This curbed our initial hunger and was a good starter for the table. - A + B Breakfast Combo Orders: Both combos come with a milk tea and egg sandwich, along with the main dish (Macaroni Soup or Tomato Beef Mac Soup). Filling for one person and a great value! - HK Chow Mein: Classic, solid noodle dish. One of my faves to have, no complaints. - Beef Chow Fun: Another classic noodle dish. Good flavor and great portion! Plenty of dishes here from breakfast combos to lunch and dinner dishes. Food is decent! This spot is on the smaller end, so expect to wait a bit during peak times. Would revisit for a home-y meal!

We decided on this restaurant for dinner. We ordered the baked Portuguese pork chop with rice and satay beef instant noodle (my go to HK noodles comfort food). The portion of the baked pork chop is not small! It is recommended to share! There was a family of four next our table (2 adults and 2 children), they also ordered a baked Portuguese dish and was sharing. We weren't able to finish our baked dish and took the rest of it as take out. Their staff is friendly and attentive. I like that they have another door that separates the bathroom from the eating area.

Portuguese spaghetti with chicken- 3/5- I do love the cheese pull in this however, the flavor was lacking. Chicken was baked perfectly and the spaghetti was good. It was the flavor that was lacking with this dish. We also got their fried chicken wings. 3.5-5; was crunchy but not that much seasoning with it. Would not get this again. Overall; this place can do better with different chefs. This place has ample amount of seating which is nice. Cash and card accepted- no fees with the card.

I haven't been back to Kowloon Cafe in a long while until today, when my family wanted to give it a…read moretry again. First things first, no matter how good the food is, if I'm dripping sweat while eating the food, that's a big no-no because that means I can't enjoy it! That's what it was like inside Kowloon Cafe this afternoon because they barely had any air on in 80+ degree weather. It's also really dark in there, which wasn't very welcoming. Now, onto the food: - Beef Chow Fun: it was good, but very oily. I know you need a lot of oil to keep it from sticking, but it was a bit too much for me. The beef was also not as tender as I had hoped. - Baked Pork Chop Rice: if you like sweet tomato sauce with your baked rice dishes, then this is for you (and me!) I enjoyed this dish a lot, but could've enjoyed it more if there had been AC because it came out piping hot! - Assorted Combination Bowl: I ordered this thinking it was 煎讓三寶, but I was very wrong. It was a mixture of pork skin, fish balls, radish, and squid. I would not get this again because it was extremely bland. If you do decide to get it, go for the one with curry sauce, as I'm sure that would be at least tastier. - Rice Noodles w/ Mix Sauce: very bouncy and chewy rice noodles with a lot of sauce, which is right up my alley. I would order this again if I'm ever back. Overall, my experience here was just okay. There were a few hits and misses. They can do better with a renovation (the booth cushions were damaged) and brighter lighting. Too many competitors in the area with better food make it hard for me to want to come back. I'll consider ordering the baked pork chop rice for takeout in the future.

Came in on a Wednesday night around 6:30pm. The restaurant was packed! Fortunately we had a table…read morewhen we walked in and did not have to wait. Ordered Hong Kong styled instant noodles with spam and eggs, veggies, gyozas and crunchy seafood noodles. When I think of spam, it is rectangular shaped, however, the spam was circular! It still tastes the same though. The gyozas was an appetizer but also can be a personal dish. majority of their dishes are family style which means they are big in portion and are meant to be shared. So keep in mind when ordering! Staff were so nice, feels so nostalgic that there were Cantonese conversations every where. The restaurant also sells a variety of sushis. Many people were coming in to pick up their take out and to order take out! The booth where I sat has a tv above and it was playing Chinese music with lyrics so you can kind of sing along like a karaoke.Restaurant has restrooms for customers.

I think out of all the Hong Kong style spots in the neighborhood, there are definitely shinier and…read moremore modern looking ones since this place is more low key and usually less packed, but do not let that fool you. They have all the standard Hong Kong cafe fare, but at cheaper prices and with much bigger portion sizes. I dropped by after the gym for a protein heavy post workout meal and got their beef steak over rice for ten dollars, which would normally cost thirteen dollars or more at other spots, and the steak portions there would probably be smaller too. Since the place is generally smaller and less busy, the food also comes out much quicker. Highly recommend if you are tight on time and just want a quick bite.

When Legend Cafe Express opened, it had quite a few negative reviews on the service and food. My…read moreregular cha chaan teng was closed today, so I decided to give Legend a shot. This storefront used to be Yozi's, which looks almost the same now. It is bright and welcoming, seating is open, and felt spacious. The service was decent, and the food came out relatively fast. For appetizers, I got the salt and pepper squid. For $6.50, I really can't expect much in terms of portion sizes, but I was quite disappointed at how overcooked it was. It was too dark to be golden brown and was very dry and chewy. Each piece of squid was essentially more than $1 each. I would not get this again. The club sandwich was decent, but it's hard to mess up a simple sandwich. For entrees, we got the Baked Curry Chicken Cutlet Rice and the Baked Portuguese Chicken Cutlet Rice. Both were actually pretty good, and portions were good, although I will say the curry one has a stronger flavor. The Portuguese sauce was very coconutty and milder in flavor. The chicken cutlets were seasoned well and were tender. I also love that parts of the egg fried rice base were a bit crispy, similar to the bottom of a claypot rice, but not as tough on the teeth. The rice dishes were better than expected, and the prices weren't that bad. I'd come back to try some of their other things while keeping in mind not to order the squid again! They're also opened til 10, so it's a great spot for a later dinner when everything else is closed.
