The fish broth noodles are among the best in the Bay Area, featuring a warm, comforting, and delicious broth. Their hot Hong Kong–style milk tea is above average compared to other Hong Kong cafés. The service is exceptional throughout the visit. I look forward to returning again soon.

The satay beef chow fan is pretty good. The French toast is ok. They use maple syrup instead of the Hong Kong plain syrup
They charge for to go box

A delightful return to one of my go to Hong Kong style cafe. Have not been here for a while due to dishes getting expensive. It comes across the price performance has improved again, the portion is generous and the dish is tasty. The tea and coffee 鴛鴦 can be better. though. Has there been ownership change? We add it back to our list of go to cafe.

A wonderful HK-style cafe with a wide variety of Cantonese style as well as Western style food. They have everything from noodle dishes, to porridge, to pasta — all very fresh, flavourful, and delicious! My personal favourites are the curry pan-fried noodles with beef brisket and the wonton noodle soup. Additionally, there's various types of both hot and cold teas to drink as well. Staff are quite friendly and service is fairly quick. The cafe has a cozy and calm ambiance is generally quite full during peak lunch hours. This is one of my comfort food spots and I definitely recommend coming here.

Such a delicious HK style cafe. Highly recommend their tomato sauce spaghetti with chicken, so tender! Black bean pork with rice was also delicious but rice to meat ratio was a bit high. Drinks were refreshing! Open through afternoon without a break which is a plus if you’re looking to eat midday in the area.

I had a steak that was $31 and I felt like it was frozen beforehand. It was tough to chew on. Also the sauce was fine but flavorless. The beverage was nice though.
Typical Asian establishment. If the food was cheaper I wouldn’t mind the poor service but the food costs were too high.
Their service sucks. If you ask them to come they will ignore you. Also they demand a tip, even for poor service. I wouldn’t recommend coming here. I would take that money and just make my own steak for cheaper at home.

The food is overpriced, and the poor quality of service. Not recommended~
Cousin Cafe showed up in my research while looking for a Hong Kong-style restaurant in Newark. I decided to try them out. I'm not disappointed! The food is what I expected and the service is better than most of the Chinese restaurants. The dining room is a little too crowded, but I can still enjoy the yummy food. I'm sure I will be back next time when I'm in the area.

Signed up on the waitlist for a party of 5. We were #3 on the waitlist.
After 45 minutes of waiting for a party of 5 and watching many parties be seated, we checked in with the staff. Many parties after us had been seated and crossed out on the waitlist. They put extra markings next to our name on the wait list and we resumed waiting. About 5 minutes later, another party was seated and we checked the waitlist again. We saw they removed the waitlist page that we had written our name on. A blank waitlist page was now there with new party names. They had removed us from the wait list and we wasted more than 45 minutes.
We left to go to a different restaurant.

I ate here first time in Dec 2008 and 16 years passed, the foods have been consistently the same high quality. Amazing!

Authentic Cantonese food, very very good. Service is better if you speak Mandarin or Cantonese lol. Discount if you pay in cash instead of card. The lemon iced tea is very good, 100% recommend
