Used to really like this place, a HK style eatery. Their curry used to be great... tried it again this week and it was super disappointing. Ahhhh maybe all good things come to endings at some point. Sigh.

Typical Hong Kong style cafe. I had the baked pork chop in tomato sauce. The sauce didn't have much flavor. Hot milk tea was perfect sweetness for me but my friends thought their teas were too sweet so the server brought extra unsweetened tea to dilute their teas - that was good service. Restaurant was clean.Not great, not horrible - fine as long as you go in with lower expectations.

Basic Cantonese cafe. Classic. They gave me half a packet of butter for my bread ?

Oakland institution. Been going here since I was a kid. No frills. Nothing fancy, but quality, authentic cha chaan teng. Where else can you get prices like this in the Bay Area? Nowhere. Waitresses and kitchen staff have been working there forever. Of course the ambience could be better. They treat it like their living room with the influx of regulars, loud conversations, and at times crude mannerisms. But that's what makes it special. I hope this place survives another 10 years. Never change!

One of the cheapest place to eat, yet the food is so comforting. They have a large variety of items to pick from on the menu. I enjoy eating the white sauce baked steak over spaghetti, baked pork chop over spaghetti, iced milk tea! They also have really delicious French roast! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The service is not excellent, but they do serve you quickly and greet you right away.

Best lemon tea around. Can’t even find a close match in HK. Tea is full-bodied, lemon zest aroma complements the tea, in a well balanced package. Expect them to be short handed in peak hours.

Definitely a place for a quick meal.Service here really reminds me of those 'neighborhoods restaurants' in Hong Kong, you won't say they're extremely friendly, but they're always nice even though they're so busy.We happened to order almost the same food, but I would say this is their signature item, pork chop baked with red sauce. I recommend the iced milk tea here, it's pretty strong.Overall it's a small Hong Kong cafe where you can grab a quick and satisfying lunch in Oakland Chinatown.
I got off work early and came here with my coworkers because nothing else was open. It was early so only the breakfast option was available. I got the breakfast special with ham macaroni and HK style tea. The macaroni was good, especially the broth! It reminded me of when I was little when my mom used to make this for me. The HK style tea was also very good! I've never had such good HK style tea before. But, also because I don't really get it elsewhere. I haven't had HK breakfast in so long, so this was really good!

Ya know... It ain't too bad! You can come here for a guaranteed low price meal that doesn't taste so bad. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for! I mean, I coulda made my own instant ramen and spam... But it's not so horrible to get served with a milk tea that happens to be super yummy too! They do have a sizzling plate that my partner ordered that came with fries and a not so great spaghetti plate... But the chicken steak with gravy and fries was a more expensive order... So that's something to consider. Overall - I'd be a return customer... Its nothing fancy deserving rave reviews but good enough to keep me as a customer for future business! :)

I went for tea time and had a pretty bad time. Wait just to order was horrible even after trying to flag someone. The tea is definitely hk style, I have a hate/ love relationship with. Sometimes it's great, sometimes wayyyyyy to bitter even with sugar. I ordered two things but they looked pretty..ugh. I've been here before and would say to come for the regular menu to get better food.

Great food, big portion for the price. Pretty authentic for Oakland standard. Although nothing compares to the true Cafe in HK. Straight forward service no non sense. Been ordering pick up from this place a lot since Covid. Could be hard to communicate on the phone if u dont know exactly what you want to order since they expect you to just chop chop. I speak native chinese with them and still feels like i didnt know what they say sometimes because they speak so fast on the phone. But hey, can't fault them on that, they are busy cranking out $10 plates when other places around are charging around $15 per entree.
