Had dinner at Sunday Bistro in Alhambra and really enjoyed this Hong Kong–style café!Portions are huge and they offer free rice and drink refills, which makes it great for family meals. We loved the crispy, buttery pineapple bun, the black-pepper beef short rib with eggplant hot pot that was super fragrant and perfect over rice, definitely recommend it

Sunday Bistro (SB) has been around for years and I have only been to their old Monterey Park location on Atlantic Blvd. many years ago. This SB is located in a strip mall on Valley and Almansor Street in Alhambra. It's on the far left edge of the same strip mall as Top Island Seafood Restaurant. It has been there for a long time and we always go to this strip mall but we just have not tried it. My mom and I walked through the outdoor patio to the front entrance, some people were smoking there and it smelled so bad.
We saw some people were waiting but we didn't wait too long because they had some tables available for a party of two. Our table was close to the entrance and the door was wide open so we asked the server to close the door because we could smell the cigarette smoke from outside.
It was very spacious inside with a welcoming atmosphere. I was surprised that they had pan-fried Vermicelli with Assorted Mushrooms on the menu because many HK cuisines don't have it. So I ordered this pan-fried vermicelli with assorted mushrooms ($15.95) and spaghetti Bolognese ($13.50).
We were disappointed by the pan-fried vermicelli with assorted mushroom dish. The vermicelli was crunchy but it was way too hard and it was not flavorful and bland. They also did not give us enough assorted mushrooms. We have had pan-fried vermicelli at some Chinese restaurants before and it tasted so good. Spaghetti Bolognese was not bad with enough meat sauce and it was topped with melted cheese and served over al dente pasta.
The reason that I gave them 3 stars is that my mom and I were disappointed by the pan-fried vermicelli with assorted mushrooms and the cigarette smoke from their outdoor patio.

This place serves very classic Cantonese and Hong Kong–style dishes. Every dish we tried was excellent, and you can pretty much order anything without going wrong. Simple, authentic, and delicious!

This Cantonese restaurant is truly a hidden gem! It’s been around for 17 years, and the quality has stayed consistently impressive. Every dish we tried was authentic, classic, and full of real Cantonese flavor.
From the roast meats to the soups, stir-fries, and appetizers, everything was well-seasoned and cooked just right. Portions are generous, dishes come out quickly, and the staff is friendly. It’s rare to find a Cantonese spot in LA that has been running this long and still keeps the flavors so true to home.
If you’re looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine, this place will not disappoint. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Love this spot! Sunday Bistro has been around forever and it’s still one of my favorite go-to places in Alhambra for solid Hong Kong–style comfort food. It’s super casual and feels like the neighborhood canteen everyone grew up with.
The portions here are HUGE and the prices are really reasonable. I usually get the chicken steak combo — it comes with their hearty borscht soup and a lemon ice tea, and it always hits the spot. The chicken is tender and flavorful every time.
My other fave is the baked pasta with chicken steak — so cheesy, saucy, and comforting. Perfect for when you’re craving something cozy and filling.
Overall, great value, big portions, friendly staff and consistently tasty food. Definitely recommend if you’re in the mood for HK-style eats in Alhambra!

Sunday Bistro really hits that comforting Hong Kong–style café vibe. The menu is huge with both Chinese classics and Western HK café dishes, so there’s something for everyone.
We tried quite a few plates: the sweet and sour pork was crispy with just the right tang, the beef chow fun had that nice wok hei flavor, and the baked spinach with cheese was super comforting. The claypot dishes were hearty, and of course the pineapple bun with butter was a must-order — warm, fluffy, and nostalgic. Portions are generous, so it’s great for sharing family-style.
Service is straightforward and food comes out quickly, which matches the casual, bustling tea café atmosphere. Prices are reasonable considering the variety and portion size.

Sunday Bistro in Alhambra is a HK style restaurant that delivers on both flavor and service. My recent dining experience was fantastic, starting with the warm and inviting atmosphere.
The food was also very delicious! The Pineapple Bun was a perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a soft, fluffy texture. My favorite was the Baked Fillet with Spinach in Cream Cheese Sauce, rich and creamy without being too heavy. The fish was also cooked perfectly and super tender. For a comforting and flavorful dish, the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce in Hot Pot is a must get.
The grilled items were cooked to perfection. The Grilled Pork Chop and Chicken Steak were both juicy and tender. The HK Style Sweet & Sour Pork was a great example of a classic done right, with a tangy and sweet sauce that coated the crispy pork perfectly. The Braised Tofu in Brown Sauce was simple yet delicious, the tofu incredibly soft on the inside with a delicious sauce. The Beef Chow Fun and Beef Hot Pot were hearty and flavorful.
The service was prompt and friendly, making the entire meal a pleasant and relaxed experience. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Sunday Bistro offers a wonderful culinary journey with its wide variety of dishes and exceptional quality. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great meal in the area.
