Super casual spot for Hong Kong style food with a small patio, where you can sit with your dog. Warning: when I went, there were several smokers on the patio so it's not the best for those with asthma. Not sure if this was because I was sitting outside, but I had to go inside every time I needed a waiter, whether it was to ask if I could order or to get my check. Food was good here and came in large portions. I especially enjoyed the pork chop and chicken steak, but could've used more sauce on the spaghetti. Given how big the menu is and how everything people were ordering around me looked delicious, I'd definitely go back despite the service.

Go-to late night spot for our guilty pleasures. Nothing else hits home like Hong Kong cafe food. Service is quick and direct which is how we roll. It's always interesting to see how lively this place is no matter what time you come in. You'll find like minded night owls craving a good meal.

Taste these heavenly wings and prepare for takeoff! If you want to try the best salt and pepper wings in LA, drive over to San Gabriel and you definitely will be amazed. This is the third time in a month that I've been here to order these wings to go. Think of this place as an American diner transformed into a Hong Kong-style cafe with red being the signature color motif. As I waited for my wings, I noticed the clientele must be regulars because the guy at the cashiers table seemed to recognize many of the diners with greetings in Cantonese. Soon enough, the wings appeared and I always immediately open the to-go box, in order to make sure these perfectly fried wings stay crispy. Of course I'm salivating and cannot resist eating while I'm driving! Come check it out!!!

Great place for authentic Chinese cafe food. We ordered the HK fried rice, beef and egg crispy noodles, salt and pepper chicken wings and garlic eggplant. All of it was yum!! The service was as expected for a traditional Asian restaurant. It was nice and clean. They were playing the Laker game too which was cool. Definitely will be back to try other dishes!

Come hungry, leave happy. Portions are big and prices are reasonable. Service can be hit or miss. Parking lot is a bit tight so beware if you're coming here with a cybertruck sized vehicle. Great deals for breakfast.
