The Bay Cafe is a modest and budget-friendly Chinese restaurant located in Alhambra, offering a range of authentic and satisfying dishes. The food is made with fresh ingredients and is generally well-received, with popular choices including chicken, Chinese cauliflower, and deep-fried sole. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a popular spot for seniors and non-Chinese customers alike. Customers have recently enjoyed takeout items like won ton noodles and beef chow fun, noting their good quality and reasonable prices. The restaurant provides both authentic Chinese local food and typical American dishes. Each dish can be as low as $6, making it an awesome price. The location is close to Main Street and Garfield Ave, which is the center of the Alhambra area. The Bay Cafe feels like a typical Hong Kong-style restaurant, though some reviews mention it leans more towards northeastern Chinese-style cooking. Food is great, and the price is very reasonable, with items like the 32oz Hong Kong-style lemon tea available for only $2.50 and unlimited refills. Service is efficient and friendly, though there can be a slight language barrier due to the authentic nature of the restaurant. While many elder Chinese already know this place, it caters to a diverse clientele, from local seniors to tourists, making it a convenient option for those seeking a quick and budget-friendly meal. Some reviews noted a slight wait for takeout and mentioned that the restrooms could be rough, but overall, the value and food quality make it a new favorite spot for many.
