I had ordered once in Feb the pork was sour. But today good experience when dine in. Got free hot tea and lunch special which is the good baked rice plate in picture and the authentic Hongkong milk tea!!! $15 lunch and 95% in app or cash!

Happy to found this place. Authentic Hong Kong style cafe, they made the food exactly how it should taste in the street of HK. I ordered the pork belly and with rice. They made it with sauce and fried tofu. The ice HK style milk tea is much better than those boba places that charges more than $6 a cup. If you want to get a taste of the good eats of HK this is the place to go!

Amazing authentic Hong Kong cafe food! Loved everything we ordered! Eggplant clay pot and soy sauce choy mein are must try!

Quick service and great amount of food.

Your average stop for hearty Chinese food.They have a good deal. If you come between 5 and 9 pm any day, three items will cost just ~$26The best item during my visit was the Potato & chicken hotpot. Its worth going back for.The customer service is great. We had a slight problem with one of our dishes, and they replaced the whole thing.

3 entree course is very good, visit several times.

I was looking for something nearby, and saw this restaurant on Google Maps. The reviews seemed so mixed, but I thought I would give it a try. I’m glad I did. I found the staff to be friendly and prompt, and ordered some Hot and Sour Soup and Kung Pow Chicken. Both were tasty and exactly what I was looking for. The prices were great. Definitely will be back!

Food here is very good. Got the baked pork and tomato over rice and the baked chicken with white sauce over rice. Cheap and comes with a drink during happy hour. The pork tomato was definitely better, highly recommend, but the chicken was also good. Service could have been slightly better though. Recommend this place for a late night food run.

$98 fed 10 people - good deal! Food was tasty as well, pretty authentic Hong Kong style. We ordered wonton noodle soup, 1/2 chicken, sweet and sour chicken, local pan fried noodle, a vegetable dish, chow fun with Malaysian sauce (not spicy enough though), salty fish and chicken fried rice, and desserts.Will go back for authentic local eats!

The food has been good for years. I highly recommend.

I’m very disappointed today. I have ordered 2 rices with 3 dishes to go today. When I went back home and unpacked the food. No rices were found, the complimentary soup was all spilt out, the bottom of the paper box was broken because of the sauce. And what’s worst, the Braised Seasonal Vegetable in Broth has only broth. I didn’t see any vegetables!This is the first time I order to go in this cafe. I’ve been eating in this cafe for many times because I think the food is good and I recommended it to many friends. I hope next time the staff check everything before they hand them to customers and also improve their packing!

Good food and service, had the clay pot eggplant, beef pineapple fried rice, and preserved egg and pork porridge. I only wish the portions were a bit bigger given the price, but I still really enjoyed it.

I had the beef and veggie chow fun, it was fantastic! Solved a great need for it and service pretty good. I went late in the evening so there was more of a late night Sunday crowd.

I ordered their food from Weee! website and delivered to me.

I really hope allows 0 startslet me get it straight, i went to this place regularly. ok food and super cheap price.But i just had my worst dining experience ever!i ordered one wonton noodle soup. in one of the wonton theres this super thick and long steel wire in there!!!!!the wire is so thick that you can almost called it a stick!given the size of the wonton i seriously think that the wire is deliberately put in the wonton (because i really dont think you can put such a big one by accident!)then we ask the sever to come and check it. no body even says sorry! and they still expect us to pay the meal!!!!!!!!!people just for you health and life please stay away from this place, im not joking!think back to this experience it still scares me and made me wanna throw up!

I ordered three dishes and two of them are wrong. I ordered curry beef but instead got curry chicken mixed with some leftover noodle. Ordered black pepper pork chop but get two different kind of pork. I like this restaurant but the quality is not as good as before.

Quality food and very nice service. Food have good portion with connectivity in area ❤️🥰

Chowfen which used to be their specialty is overdone today, probably too many delivery orders (11 orders all came in at once) overwhelmed the kitchen staff.

Traditional Hong Kong style food. Decent selections, reasonable food quality, and good portions. Fast & friendly service. My kids love baked pork chop over rice. Stir-fried beef with noodles is also good although a bit oily.

This place is very good and absolutely worth visiting if you are in the area and craving for some good chinese/cantonese/hongkongnese food. however, even tho the majority of the food items on their menu is really good, their beverages can still be improved. my go-to drink has always been iced milk tea but the ones that they have is always mild, even if i asked for easy ice and extra milk. but overall, really great food, good service and definitely worth trying out!

The food was quite expensive! Ordered three dishes at total of $41. But concept of local cafe/tea house means affordable price. For a place with minimal decoration and a fast food setting, how dare of them charging $14 for a vegetable dish, and $13 for a super small beef w/beancurd pot?? Food was salty and service was non existent. When bill came, no price was written down. How can you not let customers know how much you charged? What a shady practice! Upon inquiry of pricing, the female owner offered no apology and gave me an attitude which subsequently reflected in my tip. Will never come back and wont recommend Local Cafe to anyone.

Decent Hong-Kong bistro style spot in a crowded Asian restaurant area. Service is quick and servers are helpful and responsive. On the other hand, food is relatively tasty but quite generic. Drinks are great and prices are also very affordable with good portions.

Been coming here consistently because their baked pork chop rice is one of the better ones in the South Bay, everything else is average. However came here last night and found a dead fly while eating our stew beef rice plate, waiter offered to replace the dish but we already lost our appetite. Didnt make a big fuss about it and they just crossed out that item from our order. Unfortunate event but would not come back again.

Its not called Local Cafe. I wonder if thats a glitch in Google. Good noodles. Great pot stickers and garlic popcorn chicken. Menu was almost indecipherable, and staff spoke just enough English to conduct business. Very friendly and eager to help.

Authentic Hong Kong style cafe!

I love this place because its open late. They have good Asian comfort food: noodles, rice, porridge, pasta, steaks and much more. The milk tea is pretty tasty too.

If I could leave 0 star I would. Very nasty environment.. chef was poking his nose while cleaning after and before making food.. amount was $84 and they gave themselves a $13 tip. They stole my money! Save yourself while you still can.

One of the Hong Kong style casual Chinese restaurants that my family loves. Food and service is great although friendliness is just normal and flat no issue with that. Takeout is super fast.

Everything was just ok. Had milk tea and baked pork chop rice. Probably worst I’ve had in the South Bay Area. Doesn’t even come with soup. They were under staffed. They served us lukewarm warm coffee. 🤦‍♀️ Go to Top Cafe instead. Then HK Bistro on Castro.

Our Go-to comfort Chinese food restaurant

One word: Amazing. By far the best Chinese restaurant in town. No question.

Good, basic, no frills traditional Hong Kong style fast food.

Food Cantonese style food. Their lunch and breakfast combo is well worth the money. Their portions are huge.

Great food, great price, great service

Best Hong Kong restaurant in town!

Great Starbucks, busy. The Chess group that meets there Saturday afternoon is great.

If you like traditional Hong Kong food, I would recommend coming here during lunch or dinner. There is a lunch set that includes a drink(lemon tea) and dinner where you can choose three dishes with rice.

Late lunch... pretty good food as usual, love the spam + egg pan fried Raman noodles. HK style still one of my favorite over there.

No frills Hong Kong cafe style food. Food and service quality is only 3 stars but thats what I expected so I am rating them a 4 stars because they match my expectation consistently.

Theyre mainly cash only. If you forget, no worries! They take visa for bills more than $25.

Good place for a quality Hong Kong style food. They have good breakfast too!

Really good! Great for late night food

Food is SO CHEAP AND GOOD!!!! Definitely my go to place for Chinese food.

One of my favorite place for Cantonese style pork chop rice and hot milk tea. Got plenty of parking and great price for dinner menu.

Fast and causal Hong Kong style restaurant

Good place for a quick bite.

OK food quality; reasonable price. The food here has the least amount of salt of all the Chinese restaurants I have ever been to.

Smaller portions for super nice prices! Tasty late night snacks. Cash only!

This is the first Hong Kong style Char Charn Tang (tea restaurant) I visited when I moved to the Bay area. It used to have a Chinese name identical to one of the most popular Hong Kong fast food restaurants. It changed ownership and name several years ago but the restaurant has not changed much. The food quality certainly cannot match that in Hong Kong but it is adequate. Because of the price and convenience I visit this restaurant often despite the average food quality. The service is generally good as an average Char Charn Tang. My family usually orders broccoli beef rice, beef spaghetti, 滑蛋蝦仁飯，and 牛腩湯河粉。It’s seldom crowded while other restaurants in the same mall have long wait line. If less wait with average food quality and a long menu for Hong Kong style food, this is the right place for you.

Nice little Hong Kong style cafe for lunch and afternoon/late night meals.

Pretty authentic HK food (so far the most authentic in the South Bay in my 20+-year search). $30 min to pay with credit. They have cold Horlick!!! Most HK cafes here dont anymore. Extra points for that.

Food was better than I thought. Slow service tho

Traditional Hong Kong style food. Great for breakfast

Not bad and typical hk style food; reasonable prices and plenty of parking.

Hong kong cuisine yes. Try mapo tofu and hong kong lo mein.

Food is alright at best. Have had much better.

The combo is good.

Good comfort food Hong Kong style.

Love it here. Fast service, good food and good price.

Great value large portions authentic hong kong cafe food. Baked dishes cant go wrong and way more food than youll ever need for super value

Good authentic food

Very nice HongKong place in Bay Area.

Good authentic Chinese comfort food.

I liked the original Venus better but this place is also OK.

Great sweet and sour

Even though the vibe is very high school cafeteria and the service isnt anything to write home about, the food was excellent. If youre in the neighborhood, this would be a place worth stopping at, though there may be a short wait.

Its all right if you need an HK cafe fix. Cash only.

This place somehow hits the trifecta: cheap, fast, good.

Great portions for the prices!!! Food is very tasty and quite authentic to the normal hong kong cafe style!

Real Hong Kong Cha Chan Teng (茶餐廳).Theyre even putting TVB (a major HK TV channel) on the TV.And you can speak Cantonese here.Milk tea is good.Ill give 5 stars if the satay (as in 沙嗲牛肉麵) tastes more like those in HK.

Service is good n dishes r delicious.

Great HK style cafe with good lunch specials

Great for late night HK style food or congee (esp when youre feeling under the weather/cold). I approve!

Kind of different than the old Tams. Food are great and friendly service.

Good service and food

Good Cantonese comfort food.

Nicely priced lunch place

Fast, authentic, tasty, and reasonably priced.

Regular hangout for beef noodles and beef curry

Baked rice 👌🏻

Food is OK. But they do open late.

I love this place :)

Authentic Hong Kong style food. Low price but big portion.

Street-style spicing on Honk Kong/Chinese Food

Decent price and friendly staff

Good food!

Great food

Not bad

Good

Delicious

Friendly staff.

Good

Had a few takeaways. Place an order online, stating that no oil or salt should be added. Because my mother has diabetes, she cant eat salty food. I bought it several times, and every time I went home and opened it, the saltiness of the noodles was overweight. I wont go to this store again in the future.

The Portuguese chicken in this shop is really delicious. I will definitely return.

I tried the Bazhen tofu pot and the Fried Belly Boiled Potatoes Braised Beef, Fish Fillet, Chips, Salt and Pepper Tofu. Overall, it is at the level of two to three stars. The common problem is that there is too much starch added to the meat, soup, and fish fillet. (It’s too much so that the taste is a little distorted.) The braised pork belly is considered the best potato stew. The potatoes in the beef can also be salt and pepper tofu. The salt and pepper taste is not tasted but it is light so it is OK. oh BTW, the milk tea has a taste of me Unacceptable taste, so I get two stars

I have eaten three times, and the first two have dinners with colleagues and classmates.The third time I ordered the takeaway today, the three-course combo chicken chop is not fresh, the fragrant dried pork is stinky, the black pepper beef, the beef has a refrigerator smell, I am a Buddha, I must come to give a star, be a man

This is the most unfortunate Cantonese restaurant Ive ever eaten in my life. Those who want to try it should be careful. I ordered the black pepper pork chop rice bowl on the day. The black pepper sauce looks like stool. The dry pork ribs are grayed. The paste is completely covered, and the two rice balls next to it have no side dishes at all, which can completely subvert your impression of black pepper pork chop rice ... Note that even if you find it difficult to eat, you must not forget to give a tip, otherwise the boss will I rushed out of the shop and scolded you. This star is for you, completely taking care of the ingredients.

Nice Hong Kong-style tea restaurant with plenty of portions.

Curry is delicious
