HK Cafe always hit the spot for my authentic cart dim sum craving! Definitely come early on the weekends because they get SUPER busy! (They open at 9:30am) The restaurant is typical banquet style open space with lots of different table arrangements. Most iconic is the round tables with the lazy susan for family style dining. They also do have 2-person and other rectangle table options as well.
During peak dim sum hour, the carts are rolling through consistently and although the aunties might not be overly friendly, they are fast and efficient with your orders. I didn't take a picture of all the things we are because I was too busy chowing down but almost everything we tried was delicious!
You got your classics like the egg tart, chicken feet, steamed ribs, shrimp dumplings, chicken sticky rice, steamed rice cakes, sesame balls, bbq pork buns (steamed or baked), gai lan with oyster sauce, and lots of other yummy things to try! I wasn't overly impressed with their XLB (soup dumplings) no wonder they didn't give you soup spoons for these because there was basically no soup inside! Also we got the steamed custard buns for the fun designs for the kids. But upon closer look, there was a spicy design on one of them (I censored it in my photo but you can use your imagination) so HK Cafe just FYI on that!
This is the place for fresh dim sum! Take your friends and family here for the full cart experience!

Very happy to go to this restaurant! They were helpful and quick service. The dim sum 🥟 is huge!
Loved the presentation of the food! This is a restaurant you go for authenticity especially if you are familiar with South Asian food!

Had dinner here with two of my coworkers and it did not disappoint. I was so happy to eat HK-style food again! It’s been a struggle of mine finding places that remind me of home, so I’m glad that places like this on 82nd exist.
Everything we had was enjoyable, but I have to say the ribs were the best part of the meal!
They’re open on major holidays and serve dim sum all day.

Love the late morning dimsum! We visited really early on a weekend, some of the fried dimsum options were not immediately ready yet, aim coming after 10.30 if you want those stuff. Some of our favorites are the egg yolk bun, shrimp dumplings (ha cao), cheung fun, fried shrimp ball. The dining area is spacious, I believe people sometimes reserve this place for a wedding reception or family gathering. The price is fair, around $7/plate of dimsum, some are more expensive/cheap. Overall, good value for the quality of the dimsum.
That dim sum here is very consistent and above average and certain items are great! Today the beef tripe was very good, soft and tender very flavorful however, for such a small portion is very very expensive .
The egg custard buns now have a cartoon on them, which obviously the kids love, but they’re putting on the small side .
The bamboo shoot wraps are a little overcooked, but still tasty
The chicken feet was on point by little small . The other items were at least average to grain and the selection keeps expanding as I saw a few new items. I chose not to try but keep in mind for next time.
The service is OK sometimes a mess today was average to above average.
This is one of few places on the east side for dim sum but convenient crowded but not packed if you get there early .

This is a great big Chinese restaurant with a full menu. This was my first time here and I left feeling like I needed a nap. That's a compliment.

My husband and I loved the cart style Dim Sum. They had all our favorites, plus more. You'll find something for everyone. They were also very accommodating when we asked for Pur-eh tea, over the default (which was Jasmine)!
The place gets busy, but the service is fast and friendly. It’s great for family-style meals or big groups, and the portions are huge. Definitely one of the best spots in Portland for authentic Chinese food — can’t wait to go back!
Actually went there for takeout.

Had an amazing meal at HK Café! Everything we ordered was delicious — the chow fun had that perfect smoky wok flavor, the pepper shrimp was super crispy, and the beef stir-fry was full of flavor. The Szechuan fish was spicy and rich without being overwhelming. We also loved the Shanghai-style dumplings and the tofu clay pot — both comforting and so well made.
The place gets busy, but the service is fast and friendly. It’s great for family-style meals or big groups, and the portions are huge. Definitely one of the best spots in Portland for authentic Chinese food — can’t wait to go back!
