The restaurant is really big and we sat at a table for 14 pretty comfortably. We were also here on a Saturday night and the restaurant was full. The service is your typical Chinese restaurant vibe where you leave a little bit emotionally abused after paying for overly priced menu items. We did the à la cart and easily spent up to $1500. Better off with the family plan meal but nothing was of interest to us except one or two dishes. It took forever to come out and I mean FOREVER to a point where we almost cancelled a few dishes and called it a night, but they kept saying it's being made. With as many people and as massive as the restaurant was, and the price tags, I was expecting a more efficient service. A couple of times we saw our dish being brought to the wrong table and the people going "oh we didn't order this." With all of that out of the way, I am giving them an average score of 3 starts because the food did bring them back up. It was actually really good. My favorite of all things we ordered was their sea bass with string beans. The sea bass was fried crispy, garnished salty and still soft inside. It paired really well with the string beans. We ordered a bunch of other things that I couldn't tell you what the name was in English and they were above average taste wise. Their complimentary dessert however, was mass produced and tasted like they added too much water to it. This was the only one I was disappointed in. I still say this place is extremely overpriced but for a family meal experience and if you ever want to impress a date, why not.

I went with family members for a quick dinner. They seated us at an awkward table where is was hard for me to move my chair and get up lol. We ordered: fried calamari crab salad garlic green beans chicken teriyaki dinner sweet and sour pork salmon nigiri egg rolls lion queen roll stand outs for me were the crab salad (always good every time i order), and garlic green beans (flavorful, crunchy, just yummy). The calamari was good too, but I was also expecting smaller bits of calamari, not just the rings. My aunt wasn't a fan of the sauce! Beef fried rice was pretty standard, good but nothing crazy. Lion queen roll was also yummy but seems like the rolls was not packed tightly because it was falling apart at the lightest touch. Sweet and sour pork was okay. Salmon nigiri was okay. We did have a laugh at how big the dishes they served the food on were. It was HUGE, like all this food took up 2 tables. The plate holding the lion queen roll was longer than my forearm. Portions are equally as huge. It's expensive, but you're definitely getting a big portion to share.

1-Star Review Really…read moredisappointed with both the service and the pricing. The service was not attentive or welcoming, and what really surprised me was being charged $3.00 for a soft drink and another $3.00 for a refill. A refill costing the exact same amount as the original drink doesn't feel like a refill at all, you're basically purchasing a second drink. It's also uncomfortable loud in here... hard to have a conversation For the level of service we received and the unexpected refill charge, this was not a good experience. Unfortunately, I would not be in a hurry to come back.

The classic kimbap is fresh and well-proportioned -- you know it's fresh when the rice tastes soft and each roll has a perfect bite of protein, rice, and veggies. They also have other options such as bulgogi (marinated beef), spicy pork, spam & kimchi, and so much more. The dukkboki has the right amount of chew and a great sauce, and the fried chicken is crispy and juicy. Try dipping the kimbap into the dukkboki sauce. It's magical! Everything tastes homemade and satisfying. A local gem to consider for your next meal or catering event.

Our server Sam was the best!! He was super sweet and accommodating to our table. He ensured we were well taken care of at all times. Thank you again Sam! Ordering is a little different here! You're given a paper at your table and you mark the items you'd like to order by quantity. Everything is pretty much à la carte. We began with the raw oysters and typically I'm skeptical about cheap seafood because I start to question the quality. However, you can tell upon first glance that these oysters were really fresh! They smelled great and tasted even better. We also ordered a variety of their skewers, pork belly, fried rice and noodles. We were very happy with everything we ordered! Would loveee to come back with a big group as everything is served family style

I came on a Wed evening, and I was quickly seated. The interior is quite cute, as it's decorated with Japanese decor. Upon looking more closely at the menu, the Agedashi Tofu Soba caught my eye and decided to order that instead. The soba had a nice chew to it, and the dipping sauce had a lot of flavor. The tofu was quite silky, and fried just enough on the exterior. The sauce with the tofu was absolutely delicious. This meal was very comforting and was just perfect for me. While I'm not vegetarian, it was a comforting non-meat dish. The price point was quite solid for it too, coming out to $15.95 before tax and tip.

Always fresh, hot and full of flavor. I had the baked pork chop rice and man is that good. Pork chops are tender. That tomato sauce over the rice! I also got the clay pot chicken with jalapeños. This packs some good heat! Try the Taiwan boba tea. Probably one of the best I've had. The flavor balance is perfect. I love that it comes in a glass mug. They're open late night. Parking may be a challenge as it shares the lot with a liquor store and bar.

Garden Cafe is a solid, reliable spot right in Castro Valley when you are craving classic Hong Kong…read morecafe comfort food. It captures that authentic cha kaan teng vibe without needing to drive across the Bay. The Chicken Chow Fun here hits the spot. The rice noodles have great texture--tender with just enough chew--and they get a proper sear in the wok for that subtle smokiness (wok hei). The chicken slices are well-marinated and smooth, and the bean sprouts provide a fresh crunch that balances out the dish nicely. It's generous, comforting, and not overly greasy compared to many other local takeout options. To wash it down, their Hong Kong Milk Tea delivers on authenticity. It is strong, smooth, and brewed with that distinct, bold black tea base balanced out by sweet evaporated milk. Ordering it iced keeps the flavor rich without watering down as you drink it. The only reason it knocks off one star is that service can be a bit slow during peak dinner hours, and the dining space gets tight quickly. But for quality, everyday comfort food and a classic Hong Kong tea fix in the neighborhood, Garden Cafe is consistently a great choice.

The waitress was very friendly and food came out really quick. My family were only there for about 30 min including ordering, waiting for food, and eating.

Customers are expected to place their own orders through the qr code, but there was barely any interaction or assistance from the staff. If you need to order something or ask for anything, you have to wait for an employee who is inside the kitchen to come out because they don't come out to check on customers. What bothered me the most was that after we finished eating, the staff asking for a tip. Tips are optional, especially when the service is not good. Customers should not feel pressured for a tip. Overall, the food was disappointing, the service was poor, and the whole experience was frustrating. I would not come back.
