Food is great! Service is ok, place is a little dirty like sticky tables and their restrooms.... but one of the best chicken steak and they let you pick curry sauce!
I stopped by today at 4:30 pm and my order was not ready until 5:00 pm. It was a to go order and they knew I was waiting there. No one called me and I finally checked on my order only to learn that my order was sitting there the entire time cold who knows for how long! The gentleman who came after me to order a steak had his order before mine. My order was simple low mein and pasta so it should not have taken 30 minutes. The guy who took my order was rude and there were two other waitress there so its not like they were busy with four tables. It seems like they treat customers who order take out not in a friendly way at all. Whatever happened to customer service these days? This is my second worst experience with them for take out orders. First time I didnt write a review but this time I must.
Our go to place for late night Hong Kong style cafe food. I like the beef Wellington, which takes about 15-20 to make, and the Hong Kong pancake. All of the other classic dishes like the chow fun are always good too. The only thing we had that we didn’t like too much was the hainanese chicken.
My favorite out of all the Asian Cafe places in Alhambra. Usually not too crowded with awesome food. There red wine braised short rib is super tender and Im usually full from just the half serving. Wontons are consistently the best as well as there clay pot rice.
Decent Hong Kong food. My favorites: minced beef rice, lo mien dishes (sauce flavored noodles, sides with a clear broth) and the Hong Kong style curry dishes. The double skin streamed custard (made with egg whites and milk) is a must try dessert, which nowhere else can compete.Parking spots are limited. It is a little challenging during rush hours but is fine in the evening.Room for improvement: free WiFi is weak.
Hong Kong style Chinese and American food. You will love this cafe if you love Chinese American style food. Like Steak or chow mein. You can get the best of both world. Make sure to order of there Hong Kong style pan cake! They are delicious!
Food is good but waiters are always busy. Love their French style filet mignon cube fried rice and Singaporean fried rice noodles. They have decent coffee but teas are not as good.
Love this place. Little Chinese food, a little Chinese inspired American food, and a bit of everything else. Prices are reasonable. Try the braised rib for lunch. Great stuff!!
Great food and great services!!! My favorite is their Singapore vermicelli. But most important is the staffs that are always down to earth and friendly. We will come back here again and again!! :)
Afternoon teatime is good deal with free drink and dessert
Food has always been good, until last night. Maybe the regular cook was out. Not sure. But some dishes did not have enough flavor, while others had too much salt.
The food itself deserves a 3-star rating. My overall rating was knocked down to a 2 due to a rude employee.When my friends and I were dining at this restaurant, its closing time was midnight. Starting at 11:34pm, an employee started standing approximately 6 feet from our table, simply staring at us impatiently. She literally did not do anything other than look at us and our food while standing completely still. Whenever we glanced at her, she would let out sighs, trying to hurry us up.We had just entered the restaurant at approximately 11:15pm, and we had only received our food minutes before she started staring.Worse, at 11:44pm, she started clicking a pen repeatedly - I am not exaggerating when I say that she clicked her pen at least 40 times per minute, and that went on for the 6 minutes that we rushed to finish our food.It seemed like there were other tables to be cleaned, and possibly other duties to do, but she decided to devote over 15 minutes just to rush us while doing nothing else for the restaurant itself.
Food is good. Price competitive. Parking is limited. Unfortunately, service is extremely slooow. Male staff seems to have bad attitudes. One of our party had to go to the cointer to get our menus!
Good food and price. Service is mediocre, but the food and price makes up for it. Go during lunch specials or late night special (after 9:30 pm) and try the grilled chicken steak!
Friendly service and yummy red wine braised steak.
Used to love this place. We would always come for the steamed milk puff with puff pastry. Went back recently and the food and steam milk were both bland. Dissapointed since it had been a while.
Good luck getting your food on time. Placed an order over the phone and it was suppose to be ready in 15 mins. Got there after 20 mins and waited another 10 mins just to be told itll be another 5 mins
Very good fried chicken wings!
Good HK cafe food! Does get busy sometimes so wait can be a while on the weekends and getting the attention of wait staff can be difficult, but overall good value for good food.
Its HaiNan Chicken and Ice Coffee is my favorite. Then I will get its Beef Rib Braised in Red Wine and the Pan-fried Pork Chop
Great spot with good food that every meal comes with a borschat soup. The grilled chicken steak is the best.
Great place great food typical HK Cafe style food. The parking is somewhat crammed. Might consider street parking.
Im biased... I really like Café Spot. The food and the drinks choices are awesome. But the wait services? That leaves a little to be desired.
Decent food with reasonable price. Its one of my favorite Hong Kong style cafe.
My favorite is their short ribs. They have the best vegetable soup in the San Gabriel Valley area.
Go there with my friends a lot. Spare ribs, and their chicken wings are awesome! Prime Rib on Fridays ?
Service is decent. Food is just ok. Parking space is cramped. Service is good enough for a Chinese restaurant.
Good food, excellent prime ribs (Friday and Saturday only), decent drinks. Tiny parking is the only strike against it.
Wonderful, Good food and drinks, unlimited Ice Tea refill, food similar to Hong Kong style cafe in town. ☕️🍵🍹🍸🍺
Food is ok, but they have some really hard to find ultra expensive wine bottles on display.
Love the food here and late night hours. Tofu steak with garlic sauce is delicious :)
Very clean, really good food, nice family atmosphere, I will bring my girl here
Smelled nice they brought my drinks and never came back to take my order.

2019-11-20 09:38:11This is a great spot for lunch, dinner or a casual bite. It has an extensive menu with both affordable and pricier options, also has a wine list for date night. You can order either Western or Asian food options.The servers are very friendly and attentive, they might miss some details (like providing spoons + extra napkins) but just ask and theyll be happy to provide them.Overall a very nice spot with good music for dining alone or with a group. It gets really busy for weekend lunch and dinner.Bonus: was pleasantly surprised by a FREE dessert which arrived with the check :)

2018-12-07 22:57:051st impression is pretty good. Has a variety of food, Char Chan Tin style. Has two sections. One for formal while the other side has high chairs like a bar, which is ideal for happy hours and a casual drink. Sitting is also available with gas lamp heater.

2018-02-01 00:51:52Just another HK Cafe style joint in Alhambra which I think stands out from the others. Got the double grill dish (pork chops and sole fish) pretty ordinary, took them a few minutes to prepare but I was satisfied they did because I know it was fresher. Will come back!

2015-09-15 20:38:41I love the eclectic mix of food at this cafe. It has this mix of Asian food (noodles, rice, soups) and American food (think prime rib, pasta, steak, burgers) at ridiculously cheap prices!I got a plate of beef and veggie chow mein for 7.95 and it was out within minutes. Huge portion, tasted delicious, great service- who could ask for more!?I am really curious about that prime rib though....

2017-11-22 10:33:23The staff of the place are very friendly, and also the quality of food are pretty good. The lunch/after dinner menu (9:30 pm) are the best place to come here because the price are cheap. I do believe grilled chicken/pork-chop are the best suggestion for this place because it serve as big portion (only $9 +tax).

2019-07-16 07:21:12Its busy, its cheap. You can hv a feast spending little $$ to be filled with sort of fast food kinds. Services could be okay or a bit slow. Mgr guy was friendly, as least came asking if I wanna refill on my drink (it comes w/meal) when I almost finished. At least the little egg tarts is better than other places (the popular item, but sorry, as I didnt somehow catch up the English name...雞蛋仔)
