Hong Kong Taste Cafe

"The neighborhood HK food spot. Really hits the spot when you are craving it. Like any other spot with good food, can't expect the service or atmosphere to be excellent. But the food, that's the highlight."

"I was very happy to found a spot that offer Hong Kong Cafe, knowing it is fast and it’s breakfast. But instead should be called Hong Kong restaurant because everything is done more than 35 mins (it is their norm). I ordered breakfast combo A & B. Breakfast A consist of spam or ham and egg noodles, with a hot drink. Breakfast B consists of ham and egg sandwich and lean beef and thousand year old egg congee, and a hot drink. it’s should be done in 10mins if I have cooked it myself. I knew I messed up coming here, when the lady before me order a French toast and had to wait with me for 25plus mins (exclude the time she waited before I came). When I ask the cashier what was taking so long, she told me it’s because there was no eggs. Remind you, I came at 9:15am. Your a business establishment, how can you not have enough eggs in stock? It’s fine even if you don’t have eggs, could have told me before hand and I could have changed the order. I was clearly disappointed with the wait time but what she said after and her attitude was what got me more disappointed. Her exact words was “you should’ve called before coming.” If I called, I should have woken up, made the call and drive there in total of 1hr to get my order. That is just Ridiculous, I should have gotten Spanish because it would be less than 30mins. But because I wanted to support Asian business, and I love chinese food I made the mistake. If you say your a Hong Kong style “cafe”, your food suppose to be done in 10-15mins. The attitude that I got from the store is it’s natural to wait 30-45mins a simple order. The reason I emphasize it should take less than 10 mins to make my order, ( congee would be the ONLY thing that takes time to cook, but in any and all restaurants congee was prepared the night before or in the early morning. The topping of the congee would just be add on. The noodle was instant noodles, all you have to do is boil water and grill 3 eggs and two slices of spam for the sandwich and my noodle. Then put two Hong Kong black tea bag and two slice of lemon in the drink.) This was my entire order!!! Never had I felt so angry about food in my life, because I am never a picky person. But the service was just horrible."

"Really enjoy this quaint Hong Kong style eatery in Elmhurst for their quick service and flavorful dishes. Clean establishment if you wish to dine in and everything is reasonably priced. I strongly recommend their Taiwanese popcorn chicken."

"I only had the hong kong style rice roll (churn fan) with curry fish and it was good but for $7.50 I won't be back. It only came with 5 fish balls which was rediculous. Normally the size of this dish at other places would have been $2.50 or at most $3.00."

"Good place, reasonable price, the only thing I wish they had was the sitting arrangements. There are very limited place to sit. Overall a solid place authentic Cantonese Cafe!"
