This is the first time I came to Hao Kee Hong Kong Style Coffee with my friends. The store is clean and the front desk service is friendly. I ordered the lunch special at noon. It tasted good. I also liked the barbecue. I will come again!

My aunt recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed! Everything was so delicious and we eat Asian food often so that saying a lot! The pork chop in particular was really crispy and fresh, the fried rice was excellent, the duck and chicken were both super as well. The food came out very fast as soon as we ordered it, and the service was great. Unfortunately, the restaurant is a bit small, but I am kind of glad about that because that way they're able to keep us so good. 100% would go again (we actually ended up eating in the next day because it was so good!). They are also so incredibly helpful when we thought we left a credit card there, they took out our information so that they could call us if they found it and even search the restaurant. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Ordered Togo last time, portion, price and taste were decent. Dine in this time. It's full house due the small size of this restaurant. Ordered Hong Kong style minced beef rice with sunny side up on the top. A bit dried and disappointed. Another Eggplant with shredded pork and bamboo slices. Taste good . Of course, best match with rice. Additional $1.95 for the HK style lemon tea with refills which is my favorite. Why not. Definitely I will go back and try something else. You can tell they cook with passion.

Besr Hong Kong food in town, even better than Delicious Corner. It's my to go place for home made food. Great wok smell. You have to try to know what is quality good tastes are. I like their seafood Tofu. Fried rice are great too. Everything we ordered we love them all. You won't be disappointed. Best to be here after 10:00 am unless you want breakfast food.

Came for late lunch on a Saturday. Parking is easy to find and there is a few empty table upon entry.
Tried their pineapple butter bun, Soy sauce chicken rice, and black pepper stir fry udon. Each dish are all pretty standard, while no good surprise, it’s not bad neither. Price is actually more reasonable compared to the other HK cafes in core SGV cities.
Overall, it’s a good choice to satisfy your HK comfort food carving.

It's small place compared to other place like Alice's Kitchen. The place is small but very clean and only one restroom and is very clean. Servers here are very very nice and compared to other similar places, the servers here are top notch and don't have attitude.
Food is very good and cheap. Serving size is okay and taste delicious. I like the pineapple bun here better than Alice's Kitchen but taste is different for every person.
I ordered b11 fried fish with egg and pineapple bun. And also a combo.of preserved egg with pork porridge combined with fried egg rolls and extra side of fried dumplings.
Orders come with unlimited refills of HK milk tea.
With an extra order of combo and side of pineapple bun. Total amount to less than $50.
Food was much better than I expected for everything we had. Everything was made to order, not overly salty like how many HK diners tend to lean towards. Will come again and try something new if the chance presents itself.

After the allure of 5-star reviews on Yelp, my anticipation for Hao Cafe in Duarte was high. I was ready for a breakfast that would rival the likes of Alice, Delicious Food Corner, and Tams Noodle. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of the Hong Kong-style cafe standard I had hoped for.
The first sign of trouble was the HK milk tea. Deviating from the traditional method of using a blend of seven teas and the unique silk stocking filtration, Hao Cafe opts for Lipton tea bags. The result is a tea that lacks the complex, rich flavor and silky texture that aficionados like myself seek.
Moving on to the preserved egg congee with pork, I was met with disappointment. The congee lacked the foundational flavors that give this dish its comforting and savory character. Moreover, the texture resembled rice in a soup base rather than the creamy consistency expected of a well-prepared congee. To add to the letdown, the preserved egg, which should be a star ingredient, was scarcely present.
The final straw was the wonton noodles. The wontons themselves were undercooked, with a filling that was overly starchy. The noodles, rather than being al dente with a chewy texture, were mushy. And the soup, typically known for its sweet undertones, was bland.
While Hao Cafe might satisfy local patrons in Duarte, it does not stand up to the established Hong Kong cafes in the San Gabriel Valley. Regrettably, I do not foresee a return visit in my future.
Great food great potion with great price. Space is limited so you may have to wait for the table, but it definitely worth the wait.
