As a person from Hong Kong, the interior and food remind me a old(8-90’s) Cantonese restaurant flavour… it is just a very subtle experience from the environment and my tongue.. especially the dish Combinacion, the duck (pato). It is a delicious meal overall

Great Place. Really family friendly every employee there was smiling and looked like they actually loved their job. Made a 5 hour drive home that much better. Thank you very much from our family.

There is something to be said about being able to relive the classic Chinese restaurant vibe from the late 90’s and early 2000’s where the ambiance is dimly lit to save on electricity costs, the service is attentively responsive, and the food is both generous in portion and cut into the optimal bite size chunks for acquisition via chopsticks. Not too many frills or superlatives, but it’s hard to find another HK/Cantonese style place out here that reminds me of my middle school era growing up in the Bay Area, and those nostalgia vibes hit hard.

I recently visited Grand Cafe, and while the food was quite good, my overall experience was significantly impacted by the cleanliness and atmosphere of the establishment.
First, the lighting in the restaurant is extremely dim, making it difficult to see clearly. It creates a rather unpleasant atmosphere, and this issue should be addressed to enhance the dining experience.
The bathrooms were another major disappointment. They were filthy and poorly maintained. When I went to wash my hands, the sink barely had enough water pressure, which made it difficult to clean my hands properly. I even noticed another customer skipping handwashing altogether, likely due to the inconvenience. This is a serious hygiene concern that needs immediate attention.
At our table, we had to clean the countertops ourselves using tea and napkins because they were dirty. Additionally, the soup bowls still had remnants of food in them, and the tea cups had lipstick marks and other residues, which was off-putting.
On a positive note, the employees were friendly, and the food itself was enjoyable. However, the lack of cleanliness and attention to hygiene is concerning.
I would recommend the food, but only if you’re willing to overlook the cleanliness issues. For safety reasons, proceed at your discretion. A deep cleaning and better maintenance could significantly improve the overall experience here.

I have tried many Chinese restaurants in the area, but this is my first time having lunch at Grand Cafe. They were pretty busy when I was there at lunchtime on Sunday, but I got a table with just a few minutes of wait.
The restaurant has a nice dining room and attentive staff. The food is delicious and does not contain too much oil. The prices are reasonable. I’m happy to find one more restaurant that I like in the area.

I recently visited Grand Cafe with my mom, and we will definitely be back with the rest of the family and will invite friends here as well. The food here is delicious and the portion sizes are generous, making it perfect for sharing. While it may be a bit pricey for two people, you will probably get more value with a bigger group of people, especially since Chinese food is typically served family-style. You can taste the freshness in each dish, which makes the experience even better. We ordered the pork ribs in Peking sauce, rice noodle roll with shrimp, combination platter of duck and pork belly, and wonton noodle soup (forgot to snap a picture of this one, oopsies!).
The service was top-notch! The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. They were conversational and checked in regularly to ensure we were enjoying both our food and our time there.
In terms of cleanliness, the tableware were mostly clean. I don’t usually have high expectations at Chinese restaurants. The chopsticks provided were single-use wooden ones, so no concerns there. The interior and the tabletops were clean.
At the end of the meal, the staff even helped us pack up our leftovers, which was a thoughtful gesture.
Overall, Grand Cafe is a fantastic spot for a satisfying meal. The combination of delicious food, generous portions, and attentive service makes it a great choice for a family-style dining experience. Highly recommend!

Beware of the service here. We came in with a party of five and requested a roundtable. After making us wait, they left the table empty for a while, only to give it to a smaller party of four! It felt like they didn’t care about us at all. Poor communication and lack of consideration for customers. Definitely would not recommend based on this experience.

Good food and service. Wonton noodle was good, except the broth was not as good as the hong Kong one. Cannot ask for more in the bay area.
