It’s rare to find a Hong Kong style cafe here in Seattle and it’s here!!!! :) This place serves really authentic Hong Kong afternoon tea style food. Amazing! Love the baked pork chop spaghetti/rice. Very tasty and yummy! Also love the lemon iced tea.

The food here is incredible. The black pepper spaghetti is excellent. I feel bad for the owners, though, due to their location. I wish the city government would clean up the area so a family-owned small business like Pacific Cafe wouldn't have to deal with the nastiness outside their doorstep.

This place was great! We got the Indonesian Fried Rice, Singapore Noodles, and Mixed Meat Plate. All were delicious! We also tried the sprite with salted lemon. Surprisingly yummy! Staff was super friendly. Can't wait to come back!

They have great food with fair price. They reminds me the most of Hong Kong. Authentic and delicious, great for a quick bite. I love their desserts and HK milk tea, lemon tea. Also the iron chicken fillet is great.

Got a bunch of dishes here and food was all pretty good. Favorites were the two baked rice dishes, pork chop rice and the ham in creamy fried rice. I ended up mixing them to make a yin-yang rice. The flavors were subtle though, so you may need to add more seasoning or spices when you eat it. Worth checking out.

It put it simply, I love fried rice. And, the place to go is in the International District aka Chinatown in Seattle. When you get to Chinatown , on 5th Ave you'll find a little hole in the wall spot named Pacific Cafe. R18 is the Beef Fried Rice, which is in my oh so humble opinion the BEST fried rice in planet earth. The ratio of ingredients is spot on and the flavor is magnificent. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. All you could possibly ask for. Since finding the place I have been stopping in about once a week. Try it you won't be disappointed

WOW !If you're as big a fan of Fried Rice as I am, then you absolutely have to stop by here for what very well may be the finest rendition of this dish that I've ever had the privilege of eating.The ratio of ingredients is perfect. Honestly folks this is hands down the best Beef Fried Rice (R18 on the menu) I have sampled in my life! It's located right across the street on 5th Ave S from the light rail station in the International District, so access is easy from anywhere in the city.
If prompted to sum up the Pacific Cafe in a single word, that word would be OUTSTANDING ! I gotta say/admit I'm something of a fan of Fried Rice, and the Beef Fried Rice served here very well may be simply the finest example of this dish I've ever had. The ratio of ingredients is perfect and the portion size is spot on. As far as the service goes..... Top notch. Add all these things together and you've got a spot worth the time, drive, and effort to go to. 10 stars in my book

Ordered via Yelp for takeout around 11:45am on a Saturday, picked up my food around 12:15pm. Baked Pork Chop with Tomato Rice - 4/5 $15.95 Tender pan-fried pork chops with tomato sauce over fried rice. The tomato sauce was a tad too sweet for my taste (compared to the restaurants I've grew up with in the SGV), but still a comforting dish with generous portion size. Edit: The leftovers taste better than the first time around! Black Pepper Udon with Beef - 5/5 $17.95 Stir fried udon with bell pepper and onion slivers. The peppery soy-saucy flavor was well-balanced and more on the subtle side. From the price point, it seems a little sparse on beef, but definitely no shortage of noodles -- I'm getting two full-sized meals out of it.

This is one of my go to places for noodles that taste like home (I'm from Monterey Park) when I'm craving delicious Cantonese style food. I always get the beef chow fun 乾炒牛河 and the veggie chow mein 素菜炒麵--I should really try some of their other dishes, but they make these two noodle dishes so well and it always hits my comfort craving spot! The other dishes on the menu look like typical Hong Kong cafe style dishes, which is also harder to find in Seattle. Their portions are very generous while being reasonably priced; each dish is $11-$12 and definitely enough for two meals. This is one of the few places in Seattle that actually makes the Hong Kong Cantonese style chow mein, with the thin noodles (not the lo mein noodles that most other places seem to use) that are pan-fried to be slightly crispy. The veggie chow mein also comes with a decent amount of vegetables (bok choy, broccoli, etc). Both dishes are delicious! Service has also always been super friendly! During COVID, they've been doing a walk-up window situation; I usually call in my order ahead of time and it's typically ready in 15 minutes or so, but they're good about letting you know if they're busy or if it'll take longer.

Ordered the Hong Kong Milk Tea and was extremely impressed by the quality. Patiently ordered my questions over the phone and totally worth the drive. Look forward to more vegetarian options.
