Happy Express Cafe

There aren't any very good HK style cafes around. I had this place bookmarked for a while, and I happened to be in the area, so I went to pick up some lunch on a Friday afternoon. I made it just in time for the lunch specials, which is until 11:30. I really wanted some of that HK style macaroni soup because it seemed like a very comforting food for a drizzly and cool day, like the day I went. The options are A1 - Ham w 2 eggs B2 - Ham, hot dog and egg, C3 - Ham, spam, and egg, D4 - Spam, hot dog and egg with your choice of a hot coffee, milk tea, and lemon tea. I went with C3, but they didn't have any macaroni what?? so I settled for instant ramen noodles. I forgot to take into account that I was getting takeout, and wouldn't be eating it until at least half an hour later, so I forgot the noodles would be soggy, which they were. The noodles had soaked up most of the broth, AND they jipped me of the ham! The salty MSG broth did hit the spot though. But overall, definitely not worth $4.50 for some bouillon broth, instant noodles, one slice of spam, and one egg. I ordered my husband the baked pork chop with cheese over rice $8.95 and it was REALLY good. In fact, I ate more of it than he did. They use fried rice as a base, which has curry powder in it. It's a huge dish and it's pretty oily, so one can only eat so much of it. I must note that a chin-mask worker was rinsing spaghetti with his bare hands, like he was hand washing laundry - so I had to just look away, be thankful I didn't get anything with spaghetti, and pretend that they didn't handle my food the same way. But then again, it's a hole in the wall in Chinatown. You can't expect much. Spaghetti masseur aside, I don't think I liked the food enough to come back. But it's definitely a good option if you're in the area, and are just looking for a quick/cheap way to fill up.

Wow the nicest staff. I ordered coffee,then realized I left my wallet at home. The Owner told me to have my coffee and paid whenever I got money. Just completely turn my day around. Really nice local restaurant for quick and cheap eats. The egg and pork chop sandwiches are so cheap and delicious.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: Yes

Grilled pork-chop I always get and it is delicious. Despite language barrier, staff and yourself should know that food is what satisfy me, not your warmth or friendship. If you want to know what Hong Kong and its people interact, come here. Love this place.

I love the food here it's so delish People sould come here often

Had breakfast here. It was alright. Decent food at a good price.

I stood there for a good 10 minutes in front of the cashier and they ignored me and took other people who walked in.

Very delicious, Cantonese soup and wonton burdock noodles.

Maybe try change your cashier for better services

Yummy cheap eats for breakfast and lunch.
