Food was average, and the restaurant wasn’t very clean .
But at just $11 per dish , it’s very affordable—great for a quick, budget-friendly meal.
Just a heads-up: this isn’t authentic Hong Kong-style Cantonese food, but more like northeastern Chinese-style cooking .
For example, the tomato and egg dish was a simple northern-style version—mostly scrambled eggs with just a couple of tomato pieces (can see photo).
The beef with scallions and onions had a slightly sour flavor, which might not be for everyone.
That said, the staff were quite friendly and helpful , and the food wasn’t bad—it just didn’t match my personal taste.

made myself a deal: if this place didn’t charge me for extra rice, I’d give it 5 stars—here we are!
My fiancé and I have been coming for a month and already visited 4–5 times. It’s quickly become our go-to spot thanks to consistently well-made food and fast, friendly service. There’s sometimes a slight language barrier since it’s authentic Chinese, but simple phrases or pointing work fine.
The 32oz Hong Kong-style lemon tea is a must—only $2.50 with unlimited refills, and they even let you take it to go. The menu is extensive, the portions are fair, and they don’t nickel-and-dime you, which is rare these days.
The only downside was a 30-minute wait for takeout once, but the Mapo Tofu was so good it made up for it. Restrooms are a bit rough, but that just adds to the authentic vibe.
Great food, great value, and a new favorite spot for us!

Feels like typical Hong Kong style restaurant. Place gets loud when full. Food is great, and price is very reasonable. Pork chop with honey garlic is very crisp with honey sauce. Service is good, and our food came fast. Free parking structure is available next to the restaurant. We came early for lunch, and there are empty seats, but when we are done, place is full and need to wait for seats.

The price is awesome. Each dish can be low as $6. We had Brunch combo for $10.99. It’s not a 5 star dish, but the price, it certainly exceeds its value.
The location is close to Main Street and Garfield Ave where it is the center of Alhambra area.
This restaurant provides both authentic Chinese local food or typical American dish. U won’t go wrong to dine in this place. Because many elder Chinese already know this place, don’t get surprised if u see many elder Chinese dine with you.

Not my mom’s first choice for lunch special but close and easy. $10.99 dishes, 9am-930pm all day special (dine-in) in Alhambra. It’s decent, if you ignore some sanitary issues. The chicken, and Chinese cauliflower are popular worth it choices. Food isn’t too salty and oily which is nice. I liked that this place was on the lighter side of taste unlike other canto, or regional Chinese cuisine places with lunch special. For $10.50+ and comes with rice, it’s hard to complain at that price with the portion size they offer.
For Friday lunch time, it seems crowded and filled with seniors like my mom who loves deals over quality at times, and non-Chinese or tourist looking eaters….similar to ppl I would see at Mama Lu’s in mpk. We’ve been here before but guess I forgot it. I would place it like a 3.5 stars and just rounded up because of it’s amazing prices.
The SO was craving fried rice. This place is not a fried rice place. But I did enjoy that it wasn’t greasy or overly salty. If anything, it needed more salt.
My kinda dirty napkin and cup were a turn off. I flipped my clean looking napkin to find that it was a little dirty in the back. I guess they aren’t wasteful? I’m just hoping everything else is clean enough?

After seeing a lot of good reviews on Yelp, we decided to give this restaurant a try. The food didn’t disappoint and the service was excellent despite being short handed.
Weekend is busy here. The wait during lunch hour can be long, but the turn over is fast.
The prices are very reasonable and portion for the food is very generous. Most of the lunch dishes are between $7-$9. With just $1.99, you can have a large cup (26oz) of your favorite milk tea or ice lemon tea.
The flavors of the food is up to par with the authentic HK restaurants. The taste is full of wok Hei. The mandarin port rib was my favorite. The pork meat was very tender and the sweet and sour sauce was truly delicious.
The pineapple bun was a bit disappointing as the cookie topping was soft and felt apart. But the buns were huge compared to the ones from other HK cafes.
We definitely will be back to try more of their food.

This cafe has a lot of drinks options. Kind of like a Boba drink cafe and Cantonese style Chinese restaurant. Parking is not too bad even on weekends. This restaurant is understaffed so be super patient. The waiters here are nice when we visit We just need to wait a bit. Their $2.50 drinks(HK style milk tea, lemon tea,etc) has free refills that come in generous big plastic cups sealed with plastic film to avoid spill like you normally get from boba cafe. The food that we tried was not bad but there is nothing to rave about. The lunch specials are a great value.

Food was affordable to share & delish. I do wish they would fix the front entrance to make it look nicer because the inside is nice. Drinks were very good and 3 dishes enough to feed 3 people with leftovers. Everything came with rice. 3 drinks and 3 dishes costed $50. Great price! Will be back!
Lamb with veggies. Orange chicken. And spaghetti.
Update 6/30/22 Came back and introduced my friend and her daughter to this place. They absolutely loved it and will be back! Again 3 plates with 3 drinks came out to be $45 without tip included yet. The waiter was extremely fast and nice. She said she will be back! I recommend the sweet and sour fish with sauce on the side. It was piping hot and fresh. Everything was crispy including the salt and pepper pork chops and the curry beef stew was so good! We all enjoyed our experience and they were glad we went here! Hong Kong lemon ice tea is a must!

The food was just OK. Nothing really special about this place. The service was slow. We had to ask multiple times for our drinks. And I think the drinks were actually better than the food.
