The Bay Cafe is a modest and budget-friendly Chinese restaurant located in Alhambra, offering a range of authentic and satisfying dishes. The food, while basic, is made with fresh ingredients and is generally well-received, with the chicken, Chinese cauliflower, and deep-fried sole being popular choices. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a popular spot for seniors and non-Chinese customers alike.
The restaurant's atmosphere is functional, with a simple interior and an outside waiting area. While the service can be inconsistent, especially during busy periods like the New Year festival, the food is generally decent and worth the low prices. Dishes like the mapo tofu, shrimp noodle, and chow fun with gravy are highlighted as satisfying and filling options, though some customers have noted the need for additional seasoning or adjustments to make the food more palatable.
Overall, The Bay Cafe provides a casual and affordable dining experience, offering a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine that, while not exceptional, is satisfying for its price point. The restaurant caters to a diverse clientele, from local seniors to tourists, making it a convenient option for those seeking a quick and budget-friendly Chinese meal.
