Ho Kee Cafe

Not bad but maybe I need to order something different more to my liking.

Came here with friends and one of them paid so I can’t comment on price.

Parking is a tiny lot but thankfully we found parking. There are plenty of seats inside and it’s pretty clean. I liked the pictures they put up and they have the typical cooked duck hanging in a window.

I tried their hong kong milk tea and coffee mixture and it tasted good but if you are lactose, stay away! It later on destroyed me. Henry’s cuisine HK Milk Tea Coffee combo is a lot better (tastes better and doesn’t hurt your stomach)!

I stayed away from the wontons cause I heard they had shrimp. I thought i would be safe with dumplings but prob my fault for rush ordering and the dumplings ended up having fat shrimp inside of it! I just ate the veggies and egg noodles (those were good). I also had a bite of my friend’s meat and rice dish and it was pretty good (I have a pic of it).

I would come back but will definitely be careful what I order (shrimp is so bleck).

Authentic Hong Kong food - the wontons are good, nice thin outside and plump meat inside. Duck was different from what I've had in the past. I sensed a slight citrus note. It was good.

Food is super authentic! The noodle was not soggy at all. Service was pretty good too. They gave us free oranges after the meal. Will definitely come back!

It was our first time there. We were going to try the duck.

The duck was ok. However, the fish and also the stir fry vegetable dish were delicious. We consumed it picnic style in nearby Smith’s park.

Ho Kee Coffee is easily one of the better Chinese restaurants we have been to lately. Customers come from all walks of life. We saw a Porsche SUV and Lexus SUV parked outside.

This restaurant has plenty of free parking.

The restaurant is across the public library of the City of San Gabriel.

Covid19 Measures are in place.
Indoor dining is allowed as of November 2021. The store front features some nice wooden benches

We also went for beverages. The milk tea and a dessert fungi beverage been very flavorful. However, it was a little bit to shock sugar in it for my taste. That’s just me so.

Always hard to find great wontonmein outside of Hong Kong, but this place is pretty darn good for California and has great BBQ duck and pork as well! The chow mein and mabo tofu were also well above average and fell within classic HK quality standards. Every bite made my family happy.
