Came here to OK Cafe 3 months ago it was great but as of week of 7/02/23 according to pic by another reviewer, the cafe is temporarily closed for renovations per notice on the door in Chinese via Google Translate. Today 7/17/23 Cafe is still temporarily closed for renovations per my pics as well.
It’s been a while since I have been to a good ole cafe in the MP / Alhambra area. I happened to be in the area and settled upon OK cafe. I remember going to OK cafe a while back, but it was at a different location. I’m not even sure if it is the same restaurant and owner or a different restaurant with the same name. It definitely has the HK vibe as all the music was either in mandarin or Cantonese. They had multiple TVs playing all Asian content and the menu was just like I had remembered it. What I was most impressed with was the price and quality. I got filet mignon with mushroom sauce for less than $15 and it was xlnt quality. It came with vegetables and your choice of rice or spaghetti and it was amazing. Ultimately, I highly recommend for the balance of price and quality. Restaurant was clean, the staff was nice. Parking can be a bit difficult but I recommend weekdays.
Came here a few times several years ago while vacationing. Quality is still consistent. Orders served promptly and correctly with good service although place was very busy. French style mignon cubes are tender and tasty, a bit sweet though. Egg with bitter melon is just right. Beef with egg over rice is authentic. However, the condensed milk with peanut butter sandwich is a joke. Stick with Chinese food.
This restaurant offers typical Hong Kong style cafe options. Situated in the Atlantic Square, the restaurant shares parking with a number of other businesses and homes. On a Saturday night, tables were filled and service was fine, maybe a bit understaffed considering the large groups. Would come back. I think the portions and pricing is a good balance.
Ok food for Ok Cafe. Not extraordinarily good. My friend has been telling to go try this HK cafe. I thought I would give it try. Here is the load downs: The chow fen has ok taste like most of the other HK cafes in SGV. But it lacked the Wok Hei which is essential to good Chow Fen. Yang Zhou fried rice is also ok with a bit of salty taste. The BBQ pork in the fried rice had no flavor. As for the wonton noodle, which is a stable of HK cafe, was also just ok. The wonton didn’t have a lot of shrimps and the noodle was saggy and it was hard for me to separate the noodle. The noodle had no texture, it was just a bundle of spaghetti egg noodles. Typically, the egg noodle comes with wonton should be al dente and elastic with a bit of chewy texture. The only good dish we had was the pan fried Gai Lan. It was green and crunchy that’s perfectly cooked. Haven’t tried the other dishes yet. I hope they are better than the fried rice and Chow Fen we had.
Extremely delicious broths right across the Courtyard by Marriott Monterey Park! Highly recommend the brisket vermicelli noodle soup. Staff was extremely kind Asian ladies and they substituted the egg noodle for rice noodle “no problem” ! Will definitely return.
Food is delicious! Taste of hometown food! Highly recommended Hainan Chicken! The store is clean and people are nice! Dishes coming quick and all taste very good
Back in Feb 2020 it was $11 alarming good bang for the buck--Filet mignon with black pepper sauce on hot plate. Now Aug 2022 it's $15. Still not bad relative to everything else. It's good quality meat. As to the glass of water, the glass didn't look appealing at all. Although I avoid plastic straws whenever possible, I used one here. Service was good but it was past 9pm when I visited. The surrounding restaurants were mostly gone. Got Phoenix as the only competition at this hour. Parking: 2 and a half levels of underground parking. Maybe a couple hundred spots. Free for 4 hours. Not gated. Definitely some break-ins despite high level of visible assumption of security.
Great Cantonese style food. Portions were excellent for the price you’re paying. You get a house soup and egg cakes too with your meal. Ordered the curry beef brisket rice and it was large enough for two or more people. Great date location, quiet.
This place has tons of parking at the large plaza. Food here is okay but still need improvement, and I usually come here at the late night for noodles $6 all day menu one. Lemon ice tea here is decent but nothing special compared to other hk cafe. Service is okay but also need improvement too. Overall, it is 3.5 stars because of all day menu and need improvement on services.
