Lack of decency on service especially on the little short guy who is super loud and rude and unethically pockets tips. I noticed that every time I tip cash, the very last time I was there with my in laws and cousins, he just pocketed the $20, they all work hard, he wasn’t even the one who serviced us. The food is different every time we go there. Although they are pretty tasty, they definitely lack consistency.

Lunch on a rainy day, a small drama meal to send off colleagues. There were not many people, probably because of the rain. The service is very enthusiastic and the food is served quickly. The recommended dishes are very good and taste good. I recommend the casserole chicken, duck noodle soup, and signature fried noodles.

A good selection of chinese dishes, you won't leave hungry after eating here. However, the atmosphere can get really noisy at times. Good parking.

Booked a private room that required min charge of $500. Compared that with a seafood restaurant in Monterey Park, Ho Key's far behind in all three categories for spending the $500.

Basic dish like BBQ pork and soy sauce chicken looked like it is a leftover from few days ago.... Sweet and Sour Pork are just bad... it is disappointing. The only positive thing could be now they are giving free shrimp when you ordered $50 or more. We packed the Sweet and Sour Pork to go but its all fat...

Portions are often stingy but we love ordering the Filet Mignon to-go as a dinner side dish. Sometimes they fill the box with 60% onions and only 30% beef, though. Occasionally we place much larger orders and have not been disappointed with any dish so far. Tried several noodle dishes, veggies, a set celebration style combo, etc.

** Review for breakfast only **Craving some HK-style breakfast and came here over the weekend with my boyfriend. We came around 11am, which we thought was a little late, but there were only a few people in the restaurant. The service was quick, as expected of an HK cafe. We each got a combo which came with two dishes for ~$15. My boyfriend got the beef stew noodle soup with char siu steamed rice rolls, and I got the spam instant ramen with soy sauce chow mein (not pictured). Each combo came with a free drink! All of the dishes had decent flavor and the portions were on the larger side. I can't say that anything was too outstanding but the portions were larger than average and they hit the spot. The standout of all the dishes definitely has to be the steamed rice rolls, which is no surprise because their menu offers a variety of steamed rice rolls with various toppings. They are also very generous with the amount of toppings they give you in each order. Overall I definitely would come back for a quick HK-style breakfast!

Shrimp Wonton noodles combo (A+B) with hk style pineapple bun for $10.99! Last breakfast combo this weekend until 11/1/2023 they will no longer serve breakfast combos with only lunch @11am glad I came to enjoy one last breakfast combo!

Very solid choiceYou pretty much can't go wrong with any of the dishes, especially the salt and pepper fried squid, and the roast duck. Also, for thanksgiving they sell a roasted turkey with Chinese "lo mai fan/lap cheung" stuffing. Definitely stop by this place!

Haven't been to this location since the pre-pandemic days. You can make it a casual meal with your classic wonton, duck leg noodle, porridge, fried rice, chow fun. They do offer family style dishes and if you're in the mood to splurge with the family they offer a meal for 10 between $400-$3600, progression of price just better luxury items. If you're not in the mood for that regular HK style cafe food is available
