Very friendly Staff, Clean environment. But the food just doesn't cut it. flavorless laksa and super dry Stir fry low mein... Disappointed

Four of us came here for lunch on a Wednesday, and sat right away. Food didn’t take long to come out either.Parked in one of the municipal parking structures.The Wonton soup with egg noodles was delicious, broth tasty and a good amount of noodle serving; we got this 2x. The seafood laksa was delicious, but spicy! Two pieces each of shrimp, muscles, squid and imitation crab. The shrimp omelette with black pepper sauce was also good! Don’t get the spaghetti with tomato sauce. The peanut butter French toast was so good, but small for the price of $8.99!Lunch with all these dishes and two sodas came out to just under $90. Glad we tried them out, but probably won’t return.

Really enjoyed the beef chow fun at the Waikiki location so wanted to come to the Chinatown location to try since it is $4 cheaper for the beef chow fun. it was excellent with lots of wok flavour for $13.99...portion is average but definitely not huge. good for one person. also had the hot hong kong tea for $4.50 and it was excellent...very authentic hong style steeped tea. I also had the hot pot rice with pork and anchovy for $15.95 and it was just okay...not spectacular. we also had the Singaporean fried vermicelli which was also excellent. we really enjoyed our meal and the server was very friendly and helpful. we will be returning before end of the month before we leave for home.

This is the cutest little mom and pop restaurant. We were greeted immediately after arriving and the server finished cleaning our table and putting it together to make room for our party of five. The ambience is really nice. There's a cute tile pattern on the walls and there are plenty of HK Posters and photos around the restaurant.Our server/hostess was kind and very patient with us. She repeated our orders to make sure they were ok and made sure to answer any questions we had.All of our food was out in less than 20 minutes. Each dish was served as it was prepared. The soup came, followed by the chow fun and then my omelette and rice. The food was clearly freshly made and very delicious. I highly recommend coming by and getting food here.

I cannot get over this laksa!!! Granted, this was the first time I tried Laksa.... As someone who does not like spicy food, this had the perfect kick. It was a creammy-like curry-like-flavored soup with a hint of citrus. The chicken was nicely cooked and to pair with the thin noodles was sooo easy to eat! Very flavorful! Then the lo mein was tasty too! The noodle to veggie ratio, which is how i first rate noodles, was perfect.... Just the right amount of veggies and the entire noodles was a flavor bomb I would say! I want to come back for this soo bad! The only thing I didn't care for, which i honestly could have gone without was the omelette... we got the char siu, it comes a sauce and we chose creammy. I'm unsure as if it was the chose of the sauce... but this wont effect my rating to the entire experience. This brings me to PANG PANG!!! What or who is Pang Pang???? Only the best server any restaurant would fight for!!!! For a small little shop in the STIX Asia, this spot was pretty busy at this time! And I swear, she was like a conductor who "orchestrated" her service throughout the entire spot! Meaning, she had control of everything and was the only server. She was still attentive and every now and then someone from the kitchen would bring out food items. Overall, I would love to come especially if Pang Pang works because she deserves a raise. Apparently she only works weekends or something though! This place is definitely one for the books!

Service was good , food was good .. nice little place for soup and other dishes . We tried the noodle soup came out hot and nasty. Spring rolls were a bit small and very late to order And they ran out of fun noodles by noon .. weird

Food is great. Love their beef tendon and brisket egg noodles a lot. I always take out, so I can't really say much about their services, but their noodles are fantastic!

Fast! Wonton noodles were great!Service friendly and attentive (but I was there late morning).Small place so not ideal for large groups.Lots of locals come for takeout - which I assume is a good sign!

Good food, we love chicken wings, curry fish ball, Singapore rice noodle, fried noodles
Food is okay...did not blow my socks off. Had the pork chop with rice. Little dry. Hubs went on a couple occasions and dishes small for him. He's had to buy more food at other places. I'll go back try other things...give it another chance.

If you're traveling to Oahu, don't miss this restaurant! It's so tasty! We even went there twice in two days! 强推：牛腩饭，干炒牛河，炸油条，厚多士！

Good food and French toast is a must. Clean place and friendly servers. There's plenty parking nearby or street

The food is fine. Its just the value aspect that is lacking. We ordered Seafood Laksa. It was OK. Really nothing that special. For $17 it was OK. Not horrible, but not a great deal either. The Seafood Laksa at Panya is $7 more, but a much larger portion and I feel its a better value even though it's more expensive. However, if you aren't a big eater, you might prefer the portion size at HK Cafe. We also ordered the Shrimp Omelette Over Rice with Black Pepper Sauce. It was good. But for $16 it seemed high. A bigger portion would have helped. The eggs were perfectly cooked, but just small. The sauce and shrimp were cooked fine. Just one more egg would have really helped. Chinatown is typically a buck or two less than the same food elsewhere. However this place is surprisingly pricey for what you get. That said, the food is good, and no problem with the service. I appreciate the small pitcher of water they brought. As a result, I'm giving HK Cafe 4 stars.

Just ordered to-go today. Amazed by the taste which matched with real traditional HK taste.The hot milk-coffe/tea was good. And the Dry Stir Fried Beef Noodle (乾炒牛河) had real HK style taste. Place was packed in and out, lined up for table on Sat. ??
