    Century egg & lean pork congee
    Mimi L.

    We order uber eats delivery whenever we want congee or Hongkong style food. I don't know exactly where the actual restaurant is. We have tried different kinds of congee, I like the fish one the most, hubby enjoys the century egg and lean pork one of course. We also like the flavorful wings and fish ball soup. The portions are quite large and prices are very reasonable. I like to get the very refreshing chrysanthemum tea too. The delivery can take very long time on weekends though. Nonetheless, this is a solid place for comfort Hong Kong style food delivery!

    We ordered the wonton and house fish ball soup and found two little hairs in our soup...yuck.

    We just tried The Congee in Rowland Heights, as this is the new location. It's located inside the Yes Plaza on Colima and Fullerton. We used to go to the one in Alhambra a long time ago. The place was simple and small, and it's more like for to go. We chose to dine in before going to the movies while my daughters were waiting for their orders at the Boba place next door. We did not try their congee today, but we were craving the wonton noodles. We also ordered the Special Pan Fried Rolls and a chrysanthemum tea. Shrimp wonton noodles in soup ($13.75) - The portion size was big, and the shrimp wonton was huge. The wonton noodles were mediocre. It was a bit on the soft side, and the noodle texture was not what I wanted. (8 out of 10) Special Pan Fried Rolls ($10.75) - the portion was good, but it tasted a bit bland. I would rather order the pan-fried rolls at the DFC instead. The flavor was lacking. I wish that they had sweet soy sauce and the peanut butter sauce. We won't order it again. (7 out of 10) Chrysanthemum Tea ($2.95?) - It tasted very so-so, not sweet at all and bland, and it had a very light flavor of Chrysanthemum. (7 out of 10) Pros: Fast and good service, big portion Cons: They used disposable bowls and utensils, and the food was ok I was a bit disappointed with their overall food and drink, so it's only 3 stars for me. I may try their congee next time, but not the pan-fried rolls and herbal tea.

    Yummy food. It's located in the corner of a strip mall. We have porridge pan fried chow fun with beef and Chinese broccoli. Everything was delicious. I bought more to go.

    我不曉得海皇粥原來是還有分店,以前我在Fullerton 路上走的時候吃過他們的粥,這次會過來是因為我跑去喜蕙吃到了我覺得最好吃的豬肝粥,朋友問我說有海皇粥的豬肝粥好吃嗎?所以我總是要來試試,結果海皇粥的豬肝作業好吃,其實價格非常的划算,11 $2那麼大一碗,那麼多豬肝,但是還是稍微硬了一點點,但基本上整個東西還是很不錯吃的不只豬肝粥,他們的炸雞翅我也很喜歡,小姐服務也不錯,這一家是蠻不錯的粥品,喜歡合作的朋友可以過來

    The best !

    Very Hong Kong style , freely made , very hot and delicious, we will be back to more .

    A little hidden food court. The pork liver congee and chicken wings are excellent! I'll definitely come back for these. I think the wings would be great to take out and enjoy with a bottle of beer. My picky-eater husband said these are the best wings he's had on the West Coast so far. What!?

    After I ordered, in less than ten minutes I was served a hot beef stew with noodles. The dark brown beef stew was delicious! They serve you bite size chunky, and fat beefy parts that add to the flavor and half noodles. Was surprisingly filling, it's perfect ratio for one person.

The best bun is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The piece of pork is large and marinated and deep fried. The pork chop bun at this location is a lot better than the bun in Macau. First of all the bun is still fresh and somewhat crunchy on the outside. The pork inside is not a premium pork chop. It is a piece of pork with some tendon in it. The pork is at least as big as the bun. What makes this bun special is the lettuce, tomato and the sauce inside. The owner told me that they mixed their own sauce, which is true. It is mayonnaise based with with other ingredients...not a thousand island sauce, but some reddish ingredients.... It is tasty. I like this sandwich very much. There is a plain rice porridge that comes with the order. I simply drink a little of the porridge. I pay for the sandwich and cold milk tea. It is ok for the price. With tax and tip it is about $20. Not an inexpensive breakfast, but I don't have this everyday...just once in a while. Ray out.

Everything was comforting and hit the spot. The pineapple buns were probably my favorite -- warm and fluffy with that sweet, crispy topping, and the slice of butter inside made them even better. The congee was smooth, hot, and perfect for breakfast, and the rice noodle rolls were soft and silky with a nice sweet soy sauce. I also love the whole Hong Kong/Macau-style atmosphere here. Even the plates, bowls, and mahjong table design add a fun nostalgic touch to the experience. It feels casual and authentic, like the kind of place you can come to for a simple, comforting breakfast with family. Definitely a nice breakfast spot in Rowland Heights. We'll be back to try more of the menu!

My other two younger brothers organized a meet up for a family dinner with our Mom and all of us including my cousin and his family. We had a party of 17 people. A few days prior to dinner, I called KW Cafe to make reservations. They don't take reservations. However, I spoke with Joe (one of the managers). He was kind to put us at the top of the waitlist for that evening. Thank you Joe! Huge parking lot. Good interior space with 3 areas of seating... open eating area, covered and enclosed patio area, and few private rooms. On the day of our dinner, we were seated shortly after arrival. Very grateful for that. They get super busy all the time. Wait time could possibly be a good while. We got lucky that night. Staff was amazingly patient, attentive, and hardworking. We had two tables. They took our order quickly. The food for my table came out timely, but the food for the other table took a bit more time. Not sure what they all ordered, but perhaps certain dishes just take more time. I ordered the Mixed Seafood with Tofu that came with a bowl of white rice. Tons of fried tofu, but seafood was a bit skimpy. Love the black mushrooms. Flavor was on point. Portion could have been better. I probably won't get this dish again. I also tried the dishes that my Mom and cousin got. Shrimp and Eggs was fluffy with lots of big tasty sweet shrimps. Delish! Seafood Chow Fun was super yummy and scrumptious... it had very good wok flavor and seafood was plentiful. Highly recommend these two dishes. I didn't get to try any of my daughters's dishes. They chowed down the Seafood Chow Mein and Sweet & Sour Pork all on their own which is a good thing. KW Cafe is definitely a great choice for lunch and dinner. I would come back to eat more of their Hong Kong inspired signature dishes.

Overall, the food was excellent, even my Asian parents, who can be pretty critical when it comes to Chinese food, gave most dishes high marks. The crispy noodles had great texture, the West Lake beef soup was comforting and flavorful, and the eggplant portions were generous. The service was what I'd describe as classic Chinese restaurant service. The waitress came across as a little rushed and occasionally seemed slightly annoyed, but she was still attentive and accommodated everything we asked for without any issues. Our food came out at a reasonable pace, and we never felt forgotten or had to chase anyone down. The atmosphere had its own unique charm. The restaurant was playing early-2000s hip-hop while a Chinese gangster drama played on the TV, which made for an unexpectedly entertaining backdrop. The restroom was also clean, which is always appreciated. My only real criticism is the sweet and sour pork. The batter itself was crispy and well executed, but too many of the pieces were mostly breading wrapped around bone with very little meat. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. Even with that one miss, everything else was strong enough that we left very satisfied.

The typhoon ribs were filled with fried garlic and the ribs came out hot and crispy! I recommend this dish if you like salt and pepper shrimp/chicken-- this is a fun alrernative Service was better than the avg Chinese restaurant. We were 1/3 parties so I'm not sure if it changes when it gets busy. There's plenty of parking.
