Lemon chicken feet
Tinah Y.

The dog and bear ice were cute and a nice one time experience for a good Yelp picture. But, it was not easy to eat nor did it really taste like anything. The teppan set was delicious with just the right amount of seasoning. I loved that the skillet was hot enough to make some of the rice crispy. I've been to Singapore and I was totally missing Laksa and theirs hit the spot. The sparkling Mango soda was very refreshing and would be a great option for the summer. Looking forward to going back and trying other items. The place opens at 11 and they got packed quick and I can see why!

There was no wait when we came in for lunch on Saturday. But it was almost all full. Service was quick and efficient. Lots of options on the menu. All the food came out and it was delicious. Fried foods were perfect and crucnhy. Sizzling dishes had great flavor. Skewers were perfectly cooked. Portions were generous, we had lots of leftovers! The beverages were super cute, although on the sweeter side.

The restaurant is literally in front of 99 Ranch, not off to one side. That three me off when I was looking for it. It is fairly small but people are in and out so there was no wait while I was there. I had the calamari starter which was okay and nothing special. For my main I had the pork chop with tomato sauce and cheese over rice. The rice is actually a fried rice and was pretty good by itself. The pork chop is tender and flavorful but there's not enough compared to the amount of rice served...good thing the rice was good by itself. I also tried my friend's fried rice and it was very good but again nothing out of the ordinary. What tickled me was my Thai ice tea with a "dog" ice. It looked more like a kitten to me but still cute. The ice tea was tasty too so bonus.

Handmade noodles with beef, popcorn chicken, hot HK milk tea

This cafe is right next to (connected to) 99 Ranch. From the outside, it doesnt look like anything special but what got me here were Yelp reviews and I was not disappointed. The handmade noodles were delicious with the right amount of chewyness and the sauce was perfect. I do prefer spice so asked for chili sauce and what they gave me was super spicy! I think next time I am in thr area, I will come by to try their desserts! The popcorn chicken was perfect as well. Do not sit on this place and go eat there.

Conveniently located next to Ranch 99, Flame Cafe offers a variety of Hong Kong cafe staples. We had no trouble quickly getting a table when we came before noon, but I've seen lines before during the lunch rush. I ordered the toast, curry beef brisket, baked pork chop with rice, and baked fish fillet with cream sauce. The portions are ample, and the taste is decent. Nothing that will knock your socks off but enough to satisfy that HK food craving.

Flame Cafe has a great, cozy atmosphere, totally giving homey vibes with all the cute decorations everywhere. Festive LED lights brightening the rom while calm songs playing in the background.. just great! I ordered the Beef chow fun and pork chop baked rice. The pork chop baked rice is authentic, specially because the rice underneath is fried rice and not basic white rice. One thing to add is that there isn't enough sauce. Sauce gave the traditional cha chaan teng flavor though. The beef chow fun serving is kind of small, and the beef is kind of chewy. Staff is attentive, good experience overall.

112. Hong Kong Style Milk Tea  401. Baked Pork Chop in Tomato Sauce
Samuel L.

​The Vibe: Cha Chaan Teng chic. The Strategy: Eat first, regret nothing later. My Therapist Recommended This (Okay, I recommended it to myself) ​Forget yoga. Forget meditation apps. If you are having a bad week, the cure is sitting right here in this classic hk dish. ​I call this the "Emotional Support Combo". ​The Baked Pork Chop Rice: It's basically a warm hug made of cheese and tomato sauce. The pork is tender, the rice is fluffy, and the sauce is tangy enough to make you forget your problems. ​The Milk Tea: Silky smooth and served in that iconic Black & White cup. It calms the soul while simultaneously waking up the brain. ​The staff here are basically the care team--they saw my empty water glass and refilled it before I even asked. ​Total cost: Way less than a co-pay. Side effects: Extreme happiness and a full belly. ​Absolute comfort food heaven. My diet starts tomorrow (maybe).

381. Teppan Sliced Beef Rice
Nichole C.

I always enjoy coming here when I can for a Hong Kong style meal and it always fulfill a craving! It does get pretty crowded over the weekends but we were still able to get a pretty large group in! The service is pretty good overall and I did feel like it was pretty efficient! There's a large parking lot outside that it shares with 99 ranch but you're able to find somewhere to park!

411. Bake Seafood with Cheese Cream Sauce with Rice
Mic V.

This place is located right in front of 99 Ranch. The vibe is nice. They have cool decor like bear bricks. I only tried their Baked Seafood with rice and it was amazing! It had fish, calamari, and shrimp in it. Everything had the perfect mix and texture. Pro tip: ask for hot sauce and it takes it to the next level. The food came out quick and it was served fresh and hot! Service was great also. It filled me up but I wanted to keep eating because it was so good. I will definitely come back to try other items. If you've never been to Hong Kong, eating here will give you a glimpse of their amazing food. It's that authentic.

Fanny S.

The food here is really good. I like the different type of spaghetti and sauce they offer. The kids love the beef teppan. The hand cut noodles are good too. The cute milk tea drinks with the ice always get me. The service is always attentative here.

Tracy C.

The interior is lovely and stylish. The food is yummy, and the portions are huge with such price. Great value and very satisfied!

Always come here for ding every bi-weekly with friends and family. Thumb up menu is highly recommended. Service is quick too. Very HongKong Cafe Style

Michelle N.

Very good service! Our waiter kindly brought us an extra chair when they noticed I had a large backpack, even though we didn't ask. The food was excellent and full of flavor. Our go-to dishes are the beef stir-fried with handmade noodles, tom yum cream spaghetti, and popcorn chicken. Portions were generous and everything came out hot. Great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. We always come back!

It's good, but the flavors are not true to authentic Chinese cuisine.

As for the pies, the Banana Cream Pie was awesome. Actually, it was borderline Epic. The Chocolate Cream Pie was a miss. Too much cream and the chocolate didn't go well with the crust, which was too salty. While the banana pie hide the bad crust, the chocolate wasn't able to. The service was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and done well. The restaurant itself mimicked a very narrow club/ bar with some tables and dining behind. Felt like a darker and more expensive P.F. Chang's. I'd only go back for a slice of the Banana Cream Pie ($10), to go.

The good - my order was prepared quickly, and the amount of fish was very generous. The fish was tasty and spicy. The house chow mein that I also ordered had decent (read below) flavor. The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.

I always come here for the curry beef stew chow fun but they sold out of fun, so rice it is. I must've come at the right time because the restaurant was just clearing out of the early diners, the restaurant was packed. How fortunate for coming by after the huge dinner rush, but that didn't last, the later came right after me, The rice was acceptable but definitely not as good as fun if they didn't run out.

Its been so bad the past decade that we decided to give it another chance. Different management, different chefs, different everything basically. The fried flounder was so fried that I could not separate the bones, not only that, you could barely get any meat out of it. Our table had nine people and they only provided 6 buns with our peking duck. I thought they didn't have enough steamer space and was going to bring more but nope. The shrimp in their salted egg pumpkin and shrimp dishes was overcooked and their deep fried pig intestines were extremely stinky. Their portion sizes downsized like crazy and it's so bad that we didn't even finish any of the dishes. The best dish was a stir fry cauliflower dish that I could make at home. It was supposed to come with pork, but I only saw itty bitty pieces of meat. The service was also super bad and slow. I was eating their fried rice and bit on a piece of broken yellow plastic with multiple sharp points. Prior to that, I was feeding my toddler the rice so THANKFULLY it didn't go to him. When we told the server, which was an older lady with glasses and bangs, she's like oh... then she took it to the kitchen and pretended that nothing had ever happened when she came back out. Shes been there for years, and I remember seeing her when we were regulars. I wasn't expecting anything, except for some accountability. I used to love this place so it's pretty sad to see how much it went downhill.... This business needs to be scrapped. The current 3 stars is giving them too much credit and it must have been due to when they used to be good, in the past.

They were not overly, but it was an experience that was created of having dinner at a friend's house. The young man challenged my friend, who didn't know how to use chopsticks, to learn how to use them, and if he could pick up a piece of food with them, he would give him a soda on the house. That right there was great atmosphere and great service, and guess what: my friend did it! He honored the deal and gave us the soda for free. Now I'm not saying everybody's gonna get that, but that's the kind of atmosphere that was created. Since it was a Chinese food restaurant, the service was fast. By the time you drink about half of your class of water or half of your cup of tea, the food that you ordered is coming to the table. I wish I had taken pictures of the food like I normally do, but it was so good that I didn't. I promise you I will return, and I will take all kinds of food pics for you to see. This food was the best Chinese food I've had in the city. The food alone was a four-star review. The fifth star is based on the overall experience. The restaurant was unassuming, but a great find. I will be back! Multiple times, I will make journeys to get the food at this restaurant. If I can't sit down and enjoy, I will definitely be calling in to pick up an order. Please, go and try it for yourself. I will warn you, though, I have a big back part of me waiting to devour this food weekly.
