Alice’s Kitchen

I love the careful curation of artifacts and recreations of being in Hong Kong. Really fun! Service was alright. Professional, but you can tell those folks were tired from being busy round the clock, and it shows. This place is NEVER empty! It's insane! Food is great!
LOVE their French Toast with Peanut Butter! They're famous for their pineapple pineapple buns, but for me, they're a bit heavy with that aioli mixture (or whatever sauce it is). I found if you get the pineapple buns with 叉燒 (Char Siu), that the sauce kinda got in the way. I would have loved a sweeter sauce to compliment the 叉燒, but then it's tough because there's an eggy yolk running through, so I wonder how that will affect the taste. But that's just me. My cousin said she liked how it added a different flavor that added some layers to it. To each and of their own. For dinner one time, I got the pineapple bun with 燻牛肉(pastrami), and would have liked a du jour sauce with some honey to compliment it but not get in the way of the taste of the bun. Some variety! But still, not bad. Almost forgot their 滑雞粥! It really was 滑smooth...
For lunch another time, I got their 焗豬扒飯 (Baked Pork Chops with Cheese + Tomato Sauce on Rice), and my friend got their 星洲炒米 (Singaporean fried noodles). Honestly, not bad. Nice and dry, didn't clump together, and had the right amount of spices and curry on it. Honestly, I much prefer their 菠蘿油 (just the pineapple bun with a slice of butter in between).
Oh, back to the neon signs. Love the slogans they have on there like, 「掂過碌蔗」.

We ordered a few pineapple bun chicken steak sandwiches to share for breakfast along with hot and iced HK milk teas, plain hot tea and a cappuccino.

The sandwiches were delicious, though wish there was less fat and skin on it, but still yummy regardless.

The atmosphere is super cute and enjoyable. I dig the retro vibes. I would come back again.

Heard this place was newly opened and popular so stopped by to give it a try. The tables were almost all full when we arrived, even though it was already late in the afternoon. We had to sign up for the waitlist and sit for a while. Luckily, we didn't have to wait for more than 5 minutes before we got a table. The interior is very unique, designed to look like the street stalls in Hong Kong. Even the tables and utensils go with the theme. The ambiance was very chill and brings you back in time. I really liked their efforts to do this. You might actually think you went back if you only look at the photos.

They have a lot of options on their menu, all were pretty cheap. It was a mix of a lot of different Hong Kong food. We ordered the Baked Pork Chop in Tomato Sauce (15.90), Curry w/ Fried Fish Ball & Pork Skin (9.25), Hong Kong Style Pineapple Bun w/ Butter (4.99), Stir Fried String Beans (14.50), Seafood & Tofu Pot (15.25), Beef Stew & Radish (18.75), and Corned Beef Sandwich (8.25). They also have a lunch special where you get a free drink if you order one of the dishes on there. So I got tea with that, and it is refillable once. We also got the Red Bean Ice (2.99).

The employee who took our order didn't input some dishes correctly because the tablet system was too new so she wasn't used to it yet. It was understandable so I didn't mind. The dishes came out pretty fast, in less than 10 minutes.

All of the dishes were pretty good, not too salty or oily. Nice portions worth for the price. We ordered so many dishes but it was all under $100 which is hard to see these days. I especially enjoyed the Baked Pork Chop dish- the pork was grilled nicely and topped with the perfect amount of cheese and tomato sauce. The vegetables and meat dishes were also seasoned very nicely. Delicious! The red bean ice is also worth it! Though it did have a bit too much ice.. It was a big cup and only for 2.99. The pineapple bun was not bad too, but it is just one big bun instead of 2.

Definitely will be coming back again to try other items on their menu! The only minor compliant is that it is a bit hectic inside, hard to get the server's attention. Recommend this place if you enjoy comfort Hong Kong food and want to have a old style Hong Kong street food experience.

Great authentic tasting Cantonese food!
Good price, good service.
Parking in back seems good enough.
Even though it's large, there is usually a short wait at most times.

Alice’s Kitchen stands out as one of the best HK café cuisine restaurants in the area. I've always been a fan of their first location in Monterey Park, and now this new location has become my favorite. They've clearly invested a lot in the decor, recreating the vibrant streets of Hong Kong. Even the chairs, tables, and dishware exude a Hong Kong street vibe, making it perfect for capturing IG/FB-worthy photos at every turn. The ambiance is truly top-notch.
The food is incredibly authentic, reminiscent of dining in Hong Kong itself. The service is lightning-fast, and the staff are exceptionally friendly.

Quick tips: This place is a must-try for any fan of HK-style cuisine and those craving comforting Cantonese dishes. Parking is conveniently located right behind the restaurant, sharing a lot with other shops in the plaza. Be prepared for a potential long line during lunch hours over the weekend.
