It's what you'd expect from a typical Hong Kong Cafe. Hearty and comfort food from your childhood if you're Chinese. Portions are on the smaller side, so if you're thinking about sharing, I hope you're dining with no more than 1-2 extra person, max. Needless to say, most of the food here seems to be individual portioning. Price seems fair for the most part, but what would normally be the sharable items like chow fun and fried rice isn't the best bang for your buck considering the small sizes. Flavor wise, the food gets a pass from me. Don't expect to be wowed, because at least to me, HK cafes aren't really known to be fancy and flavorful like what you'd expect from other Chinese establishments. To me, they're more for quick bites. This is a non-frills place, nothing fancy to write home about, but you get in and you get out. Like many others have said already, this is a cash only place. While I understand why, you'd imagine they'd get with the times and have at bare minimum, payment options like Zelle or Venmo, but it is what it is. This wouldn't be my first choice, but if you're in the area and want some comfort food, then at least give it a try. It gets the job done.

i just read on a review for 2546 Cafe and it read,"their baked seafood rice has no seafood only mushroom and lots of onion." My experience was 30 minutes ago I ordered chicken chow mien , just to try how they make it.,They charged me $13.85 and when I got home the chicken was nowhere to be seen all I got was a baby portion container , thin noodles with soy sauce . i am not the first and more will come after me, never going back. Dim Sum Kitchen makes it better and I will never try anyone's else chicken chow mein on San Bruno Av. Be Well!

Good is OK, but too little on each dish for the price they charge for, and the staff's manner are little too mean, no smile or what so ever, not too friendly, feels like they no longer want work there to serve customers, That has to be change, specially most of the customer are here spend money and that area is hard to find a parking spot. And spend over $60 still can't fill up 2 people's stomach.

  • Walter Wong

We tried their Three items for $29.99 menu (rice $1.50 per person extra). Cash only. It was decent but pricy. Curry beef stew and fish with bok choy was good. We were disappointed in the serving size of salt and pepper beef ribs but we knew going in that ribs were mostly bones anyways.

  • Kenneth Grindle

Typical Hong Kong Cafe here. I love their iced milk tea, the flavor is good and the tea is strong. Their are many items to choose from which are all good. My favorites being the salt and pepper fish, and the club sandwich for lunch. Their clay pot meals are good too.

  • Csan Office

Went there for Lunch today and the taste of the food was not bad. First we ordered the Mongolian beef over rice and it should really be called onion over rice it barely had any meat. We also ordered Chicken chow Mein and it was thin hard

  • Matthew

Not a single vegetarian option for the rice porridge. No concept of what vegetarian or vegan is from the staff. They made me plain porridge with "no chicken" but it was made with chicken broth. Please let me know if this changes.

Great food. Portion is so big I have to bag the left over. Taste so good and lots of varieties. Price is so affordable and worth the bucks.
