I ordered a take out. At pick up, I realized there were no utensils, so i asked for some. The cashier spent some time finishing up some work at the cash register. Then he used his bare hands (no washing or cleaning) to grab some forks and put them in my bad. And he didn't even grab them by the handles, he grabbed the pointy ends! The parts I was supposed to put in my mouth. Did that right after working at the cash register. If this is what they do in front of customers, can you imagine what they do when you are not watching?!
This blatantly gross behavior was just too appalling. Needless to say, I will not return.
btw food was average at best.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food took a very long time to arrive, and when it finally did, the quality was terrible. Everything tasted bad and felt poorly prepared. The drinks were the worst part — about 80% of the drink was just water with barely any flavor. I definitely would not recommend this place

Ordered uber eats and literally got a half order of food for the fried rice order. Also ordered the pork porridge and it was lacking flavor which likely means the porridge was cooked not with a broth as the base.

Below average hk (not even half authentic) food, looks pretty dirty and unhygienic. Pork and tofu tastes weird, definitely not fresh ingredients.

Be careful when you are ordering dishes. I had been a regular ordering once a month. The crispy noodles was my favorite. Last month I ordered their Hainan Chicken to go. Come home to realize it was 4 small bone filled pieces. I call to say I payed more than $18. They were rude and said that is what it is.
Never will I go back for bad service.

The waitress are nice. The beef gravy noodle and hk milk tea are good.
The wonton is only ok. Kind of dry and dense.
They have a promo now each $10 spent will have a token for the crawl machine. But it’s hard to get anything.

very bad, The takeaway I ordered there didn't have any utensils, so I had to eat with my hands when I got home. The service was so poor and inadequate.

It’s no accident this restaurant has a low rating. As noted in several reviews, it is poorly managed. The staff is exceptionally rude, and the service is subpar. If you’re looking for an enjoyable meal with excellent service, there are plenty of other, more affordable options in the area.
•Imitation shark fin soup •Snow pea leaves •Ox tongue curry •Singapore noodles •Coffee milk tea

Small place, but good food and service. We tried take out— Singapore style noodles and Mongolian Beef. Both were delicious.

Local Cafe is a Chinese cafe on Hollenbeck in Cupertino. Authentic, central, and tasty.
The service of Local Cafe was subpar the servers were not attentive at all and there was no polite conversation or any smiles which made annoyed the ambiance of Local Cafe was nice with lots of seating and a cool orange vibe with lots of posters on the wall.
The food of Local Cafe was BOMBB. We got the YangZhou Fried Rice which was fried rice with ham and shrimp. We also got the Three Combo Meat Stir Fried Rice Stick Noodle. I don’t know why the name is so long, but it was a delicious dish! The fried rice had loads of shrimp and ham in it. Both dishes were a little greasy but they were still both delicious. They both had loads of meat. They were also very fresh and hot. The fried rice had some veggies and scrambled eggs mixed in and the rice was very loose making the dish even tastier. The noodles were very tiny and there was t an overwhelming amount of cabbage and onions like usual with noodle dishes. The ham tasted like Spam and was very savory and it complimented the subtle shrimp very well.
Overall, although Local Cafe did not have adequate service it still had a nice ambiance and very tasty food. I would definitely come to Local Cafe for a quick fix and for some cheap food. For its affordability and tasty dishes I recommend Local Cafe to others!

Authentic “cha chaan teng” with great food. The milk tea is solid and make sure to ask for less sugar if you don’t like extra sweet milk tea.
dirty and unprofessional
