Brightly lit Hong Kong Cafe atmosphere, serving sweet tea and condensed milk with a menu longer than Cheesecake Factory. Alas, it is Longten Cafe!! The atmosphere is lively, clean, and looks newly remodeled.
I tried 3 dishes when I went here! Braised pork belly in mustard greens, dried fish and chicken eggplant clay pot, and Hainan Chicken. First of all, the food came out SO quickly. The service was direct and to the point. Secondly, the food was delicious!!! Every one of them. Third, the prices!! Are so low comparatively to the other hk cafes in the area. All of this was under $35 if I recall correctly.
The pork belly came with a bigger portion than I anticipated and paired well with bok choy. Usually I don't see it paired with bokchoy but was pleasantly surprised. Flavor is good. The fermented/dried fish eggplant had more chicken than I anticipated for a veggie focused dish; smell is strong but the taste has a lot of umami, especially if you want to try a very authentic Chinese dish. The pot kept the dish very hot the entire time. The eggplant was quite oily though because it was deep fried, but very good. Lastly, the Hainan chicken was a good portion. Came with pickled veggies and two delicious dips. I thought the chicken was fresh and had a nice bite, although you have to be fine with it authenticly chopped with bones (and you have to gnaw on it).
Food wise it was great!
However when I paid, I used my card, and left a cash tip, bill was $40 and left $7 cash. I was then charged on my card $57 so in total there was a $24 tip they gave themselves. My suggestion is pay with cash. Don't use card.
Great food would recommend to all my friends who love cafe food!! Feels a lot cleaner and tastier than most in the area 😁
Super descent Hong Kong style restaurant. The pork bun is amazing! Cheese pork pasta is awesome too. I love their drinks, especially the milk tea and lemon tea. Highly recommend!
