Hong Kong Cafe

I tried HKC based on it’s reviews. It was 4.5 stars, what could go wrong? Yeah, that’s what I thought too…
I odered online for delivery (Grubhub). It was our 1^st time trying them. I ordered the vegetable egg rolls (mushy inside), pork egg rolls (musjy inside with an odd flavor — yuck), regular lo mein (tasteless), ctab cheese wontons (weird filling flavor, also kinda runny), sesame chicken (not that good at all), chicken and black bean (eh, just alright), and fried rice (no veggies in it. Tasted like cardboard).
The delivery guy came pretty quickly. But, when I was signing the credit card receipt, he felt the need to tell me I had opted for the cash tip option. Really? Little ballsy, if you ask me.
We won’t be back bc the food just wasn’t good — plain & simple. I can’t fathom how this place got such good reviews.

I’m starting to notice the most authentic restaurants are in strip malls. This place is no exception. I wanted to find something that was close to Taiwanese food. Difficult to explain if you have never eaten at a Taiwanese restaurant but here is a quick run down. Clean presentation with robust hidden flavors. I ordered the noodle soup with beef brisket today at lunch. This is probably one of the best bowls I have had to date. A little chili oil to boost the spicy factor and I was on cruise control. After my meal, I ordered a Thai iced tea to go. A bit on the sweet side but I’m definitely going to try something else next time. My tab came out to $ 15 for the beef noodle soup bowl and the Thai iced tea with boba. For the authenticity factor and the flavor, you gotta try this place. They speak both Cantonese and Mandarin so that’s awesome. Don’t worry, of course they speak English too. This is a small café with limited seating. Lunch gets full so arrive early or come late. They do have a lunch menu and some of the dishes were Americanized Asian cuisine so they appeal to many other tastebuds. Highly recommended. Service is excellent and food speaks for itself. I’m excited to come back and try more stuff!

I just found this gem, and so far it is fantastic. The menu is quite large and the food is much better than your average Chinese grab and go restaurant. I didn’t know what I wanted when I ordered, so the waitress asked what I was in the mood for. I told her I wanted some sort of seafood dish. She asked if I wanted sweet or savory, and then told me what she could make, and I agreed to something that I don’t think is on the menu. Well, she nailed it. It was perfectly cooked seafood and vegetables in a white wine sauce. I was also surprised that their food is not overly salted, as I have had on many occasions at other Chinese restaurants. I also had that with the jalapeño crab cheese wontons. They too were wonderful. I may have found a new favorite Chinese restaurant in DTC.

The food just melts in your mouth. I could eat here every day! Very happy customer :-)

Yes yes yes high five thumbs up hooray take all of my compliments and wrap them up in a little box with a shiny pink bow and here you go Hong Kong Café take it. Congrats, you’re one of my favorite restaurants in Colorado.
To be completely honest with you, finding decent Asian restaurants has been a bit of a struggle out here. This is such a first world problem, but it’s been a struggle not being surrounded with amazing Asian eats like back in California. So discovering a place like Hong Kong Café that actually serves up eats that are better than those in California is like heaven itself shining a light down directly on a tiny little shop in a beat down strip mall in Aurora. Like, wow this is actually happening.
Every single dish here I’ve been a fan of. They haven’t gotten a single thing wrong here. My favorite though has to be their chow mein. Their chow mein isn’t like that normal stuff you get at the usual Chinese restaurant. They serve it up here with crispy noodles. It adds such a great texture to an already amazing tasting dish. This kinda blew my mind when trying it out for the first time. Have I been eating chow mein the wrong way my entire life? What is life?
Their milk tea is to die for though. Can I just install a pipe that leads from my house to their restaurant so I can get their milk tea on tap at any and all times of day? It is that good. Hong Kong style milk tea is generally more bittersweet than your normal milk tea. It has a very distinct taste. And Hong Kong Café really does it right.
When I eventually move from Colorado, this is gonna be the restaurant I’m gonna miss most. It’s so weird to say that about this hole in the wall shop out in the middle of nowhere seemingly, but those kind of places always seem to be the best kind eh? So thank you Hong Kong Café, you’ve truly been a beacon to me in my Asian food adventures.

I had lunch here about a month ago when I was running some errands in the area. When I walked in, I was a little surprised at how small the restaurant is — maybe 8 – 10 tables. And the walls are painted lavender (or was it pink?)! I had read some of the other reviews and looked at the photos for this place before arriving and was glad I did. The menu isn’t terribly descriptive, so if you’re unfamiliar with this style of food you might need to quiz your server. Anyway, I was in the mood for soup, so I went with Beef Brisket Noodle Soup (with egg noodles). Yummy! When the bowl was placed in front of me, my first thought was that it looked kinda small. I guess I was thinking about some of the humongous bowls of phở I’ve had in the past! As I started eating, I realized that what I received was a very substantial amount of soup. The broth was flavorful. The brisket was tasty and with just enough fat. And those egg noodles were fabulous with a great chewy bite to them. This soup is served with a spoon filled with toasted garlic to mix into the broth. My only critique was that it was a little too much garlic for me (and I LOVE garlic) and I dumped it all in. I wasn’t given a plate or small bowl to use for any excess, but next time I’ll ask for one so I can add the garlic gradually.
Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was clean and the tables were kept bussed. I’m not a fan of the pink walls, but whatever. I did find it interesting to see that I was the only non-​Asian eating here that day. I think that says something positive for the food. I definitely will be back. I want to try more of the menu!

Offering American-​Chinese food and Cantonese-​Chinese food, there is something for everyone at Hong Kong Café.
Their mapo tofu has just the right amount of spice, their beef chow fun has soft but not too soft noodles, and the Singapore rice noodle (my favorite) is full of HK style BBQ pork. Cold day? Try the noodle soup!
Up to the standards of authentic Cantonese restaurants, this is a GEM (and yes the play G.E.M. Inside) in Colorado!

I placed my order (shrimp fried rice, beef lo mein & sweet n sour chicken) and they said it would be 45 minutes to an hour to get here. It came around an hour later and I’m content with my meal. The noodles were packed with flavor and the sweet and sour chicken was cooked just right. My boyfriend was impressed with the shrimp fried rice. I also got a side of steamed rice with it and it wasn’t dry. Overall I would definitely order from here again!

The best trendy cafes are always hidden in little tiny shopping centers by the highway. I love the Hong Kong Café and Kathy, was very sweet and made the experience wonderful. We ordered an appetizer of Sesame Balls (Careful, they’re hot!) that were sweet and chewy with a dessert taste into it. The menu was so long that I had a hard time deciding what to get. They have everything from Udon noodles, Teriyaki Shrimp, to sweet vanilla dessert goodness. We had decided to get an egg drop soup for my sister, sesame shrimp, and two lemonades.
The lemonade was amazing but a little sweet in one end and sour at the next, but overall good. I loved the sesame shrimp and it came with steamed white rice (you can choose between steamed and fried rice.) and uncooked broccoli. The service was amazing and Kathy was generous the entire time. She was taking care of 5 tables by herself and that’s impressive. The dessert was a chocolate milkshake with white whipped cream on top and my little sister loved it!
The after taste was pretty intense, I did feel pretty bloated after eating the sesame shrimp but I would most definitely come back just to chill. Everyone was so friendly and you can tell Kathy really does care and appreciate her customers!

Must admit everything I have tried here is flavorful and consistent. My favorite dish is the west lake beef soup with the golden tofu. The beef brisket egg noodles is right up there also. I prefer the beef brisket broth over the wonton egg noodle broth. It’s a small store that can get pretty busy. Service is always up to par (pretty sure it’s a family run business). If you ever order a sizzle plate be sure to smell the aroma when it’s ready for the table. Food protion is perfect for individuals or to share. A must try is their Hong Kong French toast which is loaded with peanut butter, butter, condense milk, and syrup. It won’t clog your arteries I promise.

TL;DR: I highly recommend this café. It has some of the most authentic HK dishes I’ve tried in Colorado.
Having spent a year studying in Hong Kong, I was excited to hear this place had opened up in Colorado. The food brings back the nostalgia that I can’t quite seem to find at other Chinese places. I had the opportunity to try their salted fish fried rice, baked pork chop, scallion pancakes, HK french toast, and milk tea.
Salted fish fried rice: grew up eating this prototypical fried rice dish alongside the very traditional yang chow fried rice. This was well made and most definitley hit the spot. New comers to this dish, I would be wary. As it a unique smell and somewhat of an acquired taste. Though if you want traditional, you should try this. I say you get honorary badge for culture and taste.
Baked pork chop: now this dish is seen in many «Denny’s» of HK. Such as Café de Coral, or MK. Very great starter dish of more mainstream modern HK foods. Has a bed of lightly fried rice layered with a pork chop noticeably flavored with Maggi baked in to a sweet and savory tomato ketchup like sauce. Onions and tomato chunks are a fine addition with a bit of cheese to top it off. Well made and would recommend.
Scallion pancakes: I would prefer more green onion. The batch I had may have been a tad too oily. However, they were far from dry as many places can make them inappropriately. Nice and thin as they should be. Well layered and flaky unlike some more doughy ones I’ve had at other places. Not too salty, and well balanced. Minor tweaks can be made, but definitley worth as a side/​appetizer/​snack.
HK french toast: If you have room, I would save it for this at least once. This is pretty darn authentic. Uniquely battered thick slices of bread with peanut butter in the middle topped of with a combination of condensed milk and honey/​syrup drizzle. When you bite into it, I hope you can appreciate the simple yet complex flavors if you’ve never had such a dish. Leaving out the cinnamon/​sugar out from a traditional french toast, you receive a more light cake like fry to your toast, and still retain all the sugar from the syrup combo. Enjoy!
HK Milk tea: love it or hate it. It may be strong at first, but that’s the point. Well made. A must for any meal.
Looking forward to try some other dishes from the menu, and hoping they have Dong Ling Mut (cold lemon honey tea) next time I go.
Happy eats!

This shop is small but their menu isn’t! They have a ton of options! I tried the pepper tofu, crispy noodles with beef, triple meat stew (beef, fish and tripe), black bean flat noodle with tender beef, walnut shrimp, grass jelly milk tea, beef chow fun, green onion pancake, bone in spare ribs (or was it chicken. I don’t even know). I liked the tofu and pancake the best. I also liked the spare ribs or chicken despite not knowing what meat it was (I had friends order for me). The beef for the crunchy noodles was super tender. Milk shakes and slushies are expensive! They range from almost $ 4 to almost $ 5. The milk tea was ok. I didn’t care for the small cubes of grass jelly because I could barely taste it. I like the large chunks more. They have lots of classic Hong Kong and Chinese dishes as well as modern ones like baked Chinese spaghetti and toasty sandwiches. This place reminds me a lot of Davis Old Teahouse back in Northern California, a HK boba and food spot I used to frequent with a similar menu. The shop only has a few tables and I don’t think they take reservations. The place is super casual but don’t think that they don’t take reservations! Because they indeed do!!! You can make reservations by phone or online. You can also order food online for delivery. Delivery’s free if you live within 3mi of the joint. I live 3.2 mi away. Drats! They’re closed on Tuesdays.

Finally a place that makes baked pork chop spaghetti to my liking! This is one of my favorite comfort food back in California. I’ve been trying to master the recipe on my own and now I don’t have to. If you like sweet tomato sauce and pork chops, this dish is for you.
The hostess/​waitress is very nice and friendly. Also very attentive and made sure our food cane out right. Upon ordering the brisket noodle soup, she asked if we wanted to add wontons. Didn’t know that was an option to do half and half order.
What’s good:
Baked pork chop spaghetti with tomato sauce
Sallt & pepper fried calamari
Half & half brisket and wonton noodle soup
Hong Kong milk tea coffee
What’s not:
Jasmine ice tea — too sweet for my liking but the bf liked it.
Everything we ordered was delicous. So much food I had leftovers. Will be back to try other dishes.

I decided to branch out from my usual Chinese delivery place. I’m glad I tried something different but I wouldn’t say this will be my new go-​to. Some things were really good while others fell very flat.
The crab cheese wontons were a winner. Definitely a good crab flavor (not chunks of crab inside but not just basic cream cheese that’s calling itself crab) and still crispy even after being delivered. The steamed dumplings were tasty as well. There wasn’t a ton of filling in each one, but I still somehow managed to devour them all.
I also decided to try the noodles with beef brisket in black bean sauce. Based on other reviews, it seems to be hit or miss as far as fattiness of the brisket. I would say about 30% of the pieces of brisket had large fat chunks on them. I tried to shred up the brisket and remove the fat before I ate it, but a few pieces slipped by me. The flat rice noodles were a little mushy but the black bean sauce was good.
The shining star of the order was the shrimp wonton soup. The broth was flavorful on it’s own and the shrimp wontons were jam packed with tasty shrimp goodness.
Something that really surprised me were the vegetable egg rolls. They had absolutely no flavor. I love egg rolls. I’ve been known to order just egg rolls and nothing else. But these? Bleh. The only vegetable I saw inside was one shred of a carrot. Maybe if you get them with pork or shrimp they would be better.
My estimated delivery time was 45 min-​1 hour and it was delivered in just under an hour. The delivery driver called me when he got to my apartment building and he was really nice even after having to wait for a minute in the snow.
Overall, I’d be willing to try it again but I keep coming back to the egg rolls. The precious, crispy little things I normally love with every one of my taste buds. I could never frequent an establishment that claims to be a Chinese restaurant when I know they have lackluster egg rolls.

Nice little café for a quick Asian food. I really like the wonton noodle soup, salt and pepper tofu and salted fish and chicken fried rice. The shrimp wonton is really authentic in my opinion and done right. Service is excellent with a lot of attention given while you are enjoying the dishes.

We order from here often, while its definitely the best option in our area, the service has been inconsistent. They way it’s set up there are no lists of add on items such as vegetables or tofu but you can request them and they will update the charge on your card with a random amount.
The food is much better during the week. It seems more fresh. I don’t know if this has to do with who is preparing it during the week or how many stops are made during delivery on weekends but it’s a significant difference in quality and taste.
The salt and pepper anything is good, hot and sour soup (my favorite) is hit or miss. It seems to be better the spicier you order it. It’s been sweet and syrupy a few times. They left out the rice and cabbage or green something that normally goes under the tofu this evening which is unusual.
I’ve never gotten sick from this place and the food is great when we don’t want to cook, so overall it’s a solid option for delivery.
They are closed on Tuesdays.

Just finished, and ready to come back!
My husband had the shrimp wonton noodle soup. (pic enclosed) I had the kung pao chicken. It looked so good I commenced eating immediately, sorry Unilocalers. Picture or no picture. It WAS that good. Fresh veggies, tender chicken cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce with the perfect hit of spice. We kept looking at the menu oohing and ahh-​ing at the delicious things we will try next time. I was asking the waitress about some their specials and she was super nice and informative. The scoop on the milk tea is that it’s shipped in special from Hong Kong. Their peanut butter toast (that Unilocalers seem to be having about.!) sounds amazing! Breakfast spam and egg sandwich… YES PLEASE!?! Husband is pretty excited about the crispy pork intestines and I’m looking forward to the salt pepper shrimp. Chalk this up as a review to be continued as we will back soon!

I had a taste of three different dishes here, and the whole meal I was trying to identify things that I liked about the place. This restaurant was recommended by a friend, and so I wanted to have a good time eating here with them. Unfortunately, for honesty sake I can’t give this place anything more than three stars.
The three dishes I had tasted artificial. The dishes felt as if they were processed dishes, as if I had ordered dinners from a grocery store. The boba drink was no better; the tapioca balls tasted as if they were old.
On the plus side, the service was very attentive, kind, and respectful. I will likely return in the future to update this review if my opinion should change of anything.

We came here with our international food group the weekend after thanksgiving. Being part of that group allowed us the opportunity to eat off the menu items and chat with the staff in a way I don’t think we could have if we’d just walked in.
Within minutes of being seated we were treated to incredible hospitality combined with course after course of amazing food. The scallion pancakes are the best I’ve ever eaten. We also had a spicy Szechuan fried chicken dish that I was assured a version of was on the regular menu. Thank goodness because the mouth numbing quality combined with the heat and crispy chicken was addictive and by far my favorite dish.
Definitely give this place a try and you will not be disappointed.

This place is a hidden gem! Two dishes: NOODLE SOUPS & HK FRENCH TOAST! Affordable and delicious! It’s really hard to find an authentic Hong Kong style restaurant in Denver, so this restaurant is one of a kind. They serve succulent noodle soups, milks teas, and many more dishes with a western twist.
Noodle Soups — I’ve tried the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup with Egg Noodles as well as the Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup. Both are great, but I prefer the wontons because it’s less fatty. The brisket is super tender though, but has too much fat for me at times.
Salt & Pepper Wings — So good! The wings are crispy and the salt and pepper gives it a nice kick. Very addicting, and it’s only $ 6.95 for 8 pieces!
Hong Kong Style French Toast — My guilty pleasure for only $ 2! Fried french toast with peanut butter spread and condensed milk. It’s pretty sweet, but to die for! I’m gonna just let me picture do the teasing.

I love this place for Lunch… Great specials and it’s so fast! I plan on trying the HK style sandwiches, baked spaghetti and the Toast… The only downside is delivery… I will eat –in or choose take-​out from now on… just saying…

Okay, so yes– the food here was great * but* I no longer go because I have lived in this neighborhood for 3yrs now and this place has changed it’s name 4 times now! This scares me because the menu items remain the same. This makes me think that they could
(a keep on being shut down by health dept then reopening under a new name
(b Simply some type of tax scam going on
It could be anything but I just don’t feel very settled with the constant name changes, very suspicious! I’ll skip on this place here on out and trust my intuition.

Depending on what you order, the portion size varies! We couldn’t help but were all jealous comparing our plate sizes to those at the table over. Curious at the same time what they ordered because it was pretty obvious we’re Cantonese and they’re not, lol.
There are a lot of fried foods on the menu and I can see that being an appeal to the business. We only ordered one deep fried item and that’s the Shrimp Toasts appetizer. It was definitely over-​fried or re-​fried in old oil — did not taste very fresh!
The rest of our orders included Beef Brisket noodle soup, Baked Tomato Rice with Pork Cutlet, and the HK Ice Milk Tea were all just fine. Actually, it’s easy to make all of these at home. This is HK’s version of fast food, I guess. For that reaon, Hong Kong Café does a good job sticking to the mission. I just prefer really good stir-​frys in a wok that I can’t replicate at home easily.

The only restaurants of it’s kind in Colorado. This restaurant is based on cafes found everywhere in the greater China, especially Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangdong. These places are called Cha Chaan Teng, literally tea restaurant. Here you can find, quick, cheap food, awesome drinks and a western twist. You know they are legit when everyone who works there speaks Cantonese. ;)
To start, it is very popular to order Hong Kong style milk tea. I never thought I’d see this anywhere near where I live for a while but bam, of course they have it here! It’s known for it’s very strong tea flavor and when mixed with condensed milk, makes a creamy, smooth and aromatic drink. This can be served hot or cold.
To take it to the next level, you can order something called a Yuan Yuang and that’s a mix of coffee and tea. You will need to sweeten this on your own. I found it best with condensed milk.
On a hot summer, the drink of choice is simply lemon with water. It’s called Ling Mut, Ling stands for the LingMong (Lemon) and Mut standing for Honey. This is usually served cold but can also be served hot.
Now onto the food, some must haves for the first time:
–Wonton Noodle Soup. They do an awesome job here and if you want to reach the next step of really experiencing the culture, get the egg noodles as lo mein in oyster sauce. This is a unique and fun way to eat it.
–Beef Brisket Noodle soup with Ho fun. The beef brisket is sooooo tender and maybe I’m just biased to the whole soup and noodle thing but we live in Colorado! It’s a must!
–Gon chaau ngau ho, which translates to Stir Fried Beef Flat Rice Noodles or Beef Chow Fun is an all time stir fry noodle favorite. You can actually get this at all the traditional Chinese restaurants like Hong Kong BBQ, New Canton BBQ, Star Kitchen, etc.
–Baked Rice/​Spaghetti. Here’s where the western twist comes in. There are lots of different sauces and different meats you can get with it too. This makes me think about my childhood. I love the black pepper sauce, but fair warning, it’s really peppery. I’d start with something simple like the tomato sauce and maybe pork chops.
–TOASTTTTTTTTTTTT. This is a must must must must try! There’s a list of variations, I’d start with the one with peanut butter, that’s the standard or just simply toast and butter with condensed milk.
Also, you’ll notice that on the menu, they have HK style sandwiches and Instant Ramen for a really cheap price. These are very traditional café foods. The HK style sandwiches are mirrored after Western breakfasts, usually consisting of eggs and ham or whatever Western meat they have cooking. Also the instant ramen is not cooked the way packages say, it usually includes some sort of meat, ham or spam or something and eggs. A very homey way and the only way I make my ramen.
Enjoy! I know I’ll be back and hopefully I’ll be lucky and miss the rush.

Shrimp Rice Noodles Made perfectly from the Shrimp to the noodles. Hot and Spicy Lunch Special with generous portions of fried rice and perfectly made/​Flavored Fried shrimp. Cheese wontons: Perfect!
Ill definitely order from here again.

My sister has been to this Restuarant before and said it was okay. But I decided to wanted to try since there’s not much Hong Kong type of cafes in Colorado. Since I was in the area why not right? The Restuarant is located in a small plaza next to a few other shops.
It is a pretty small Resturant maybe with about 8 tables. The décor is pretty nice and simple, gives a very fresh and relaxing feel to it. The walls are a lavender color. It kind of reminded me of Chinese cafes in LA.
We ordered the Hong Kong style milk tea, fried calamari, wonton noodle soup, and the beef brisket noodle soup. The Milk tea was okay, definitely not the best I’ve had maybe because I’m comparing it to LA quality. The fried calamari was average, it came with a spicy mayo sauce which is a good combination. Wonton noodles was actually pretty good. The wontons was a shrimp filling and it was really good! I think the noodles wasn’t that great, if only they would put fresh egg noodles in it, it would be amazing! Same thing with the beef brisket noodle soup, the dish would be better with fresh noodles. Beef brisket was on point, it just melts in your mouth.
Overall I give it a 4 star because this is the closest thus far to LA quality Chinese food in Colorado. I guess this place will do for now until Denver slowly gets more and more diverse in the food market! I would come back!

A TIP on ordering TO-​GO: don’t order when you get there, you’ll be sitting around for 20 – 25 minutes for small vegetable egg rolls. CALL AHEAD, or use grubhub. You’ve been warned. :)
I went back to pick up some milk tea and vegetable egg rolls today, and my sister wanted some chicken wings too, so we ordered that as well. We didn’t call ahead and ordered when we got there, and the food took 20 – 25 minutes to come out! I was extremely upset because all we ordered were three dinky vegetable egg rolls, some chicken wings, and milk tea. There were two parties that came to dine-​in after us and they both got their appetizers before us … What? The milk teas took around 15 minutes to come out, which was also confusing. I would be even more upset if the dinky vegetable egg rolls weren’t so delicious! The wrapping was really light and crispy, and the filling was hot and flavorful. The milk tea was additionally tasty. It had a really bold black tea flavor and was not too sweet. I think my sister liked her salt and pepper chicken wings. Though, the wings didn’t look like they were cooked all the way inside. Kind of creepy.
I still like this place, though, because their food is incredible. They just need to learn how to prioritize. IMHO. (Am I hip for using an acronym?)

I haven’t eaten a lot of Hong Kong style food. But it was blown away on how good this place was!
The restaurant itself is clean and can get busy during lunch hours and such. The staff is super nice as well!
For the food, my friend and I tried the HK milk tea, flat noodles with brisket, salt and pepper tofu and salt and pepper chicken wings. The milk tea was delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness and great tea flavor (you can tell they brew/​seep it and not just use powder). The noodles were great, I love the prices of brisket, so tender and they remove most of the fat as well! Makes me feel better haha. The tofu was oh my goodness, one of my favorites. Crispy and not oily with awesome flavor accompanied with chopped peppers. The wings were nicely cooked and seasoned too. I was surprised on how good everything was actually, and I love how it seems like it was cooked healthier than other places.
I can’t wait to try more of their food! :)

Moving from California to Denver for school, one thing that was starkingly lacking was good Chinese food. Colorado generally has decent Vietnamese and Korean food but I’ve only ran into a handful of good Chinese restaurants and most of them are dim sum or Szechuan. Therefore, I was soooo excited to see the grand opening of Hong Kong Café on Unilocal.I immediately bookmarked it.
I finally had the chance of trying this place out with my friend today for lunch. When we arrived, there were only 2 other parties but soon after, the entire place filled up and there were alot of people getting take out as well. The owners were very friendly and were able to speak Mandarin which is rare in Colorado. I ordered the Hong Kong Milk Tea which definitely has a unique taste that is very different from your usual Taiwanese milk teas. It’s almost like an acquired taste at first but I absolutely loved it here. I got it iced and it was a very decently huge portion. My friend and I shared the flat noodle with brisket and black bean sauce, the fried tofu, and the black pepper and salt chicken wings. The total came out to ~$ 40 but we had a lot of left overs and were very satisfied.
The noodles were perfectly seasoned, had just the right amount of sauce. It could have been spicier tho. The meat might look weird at least and kind of life tofu but they were so tender. The tofu was delicious! They were perfectly square, cripsy on the outside and delicate on the inside. I have no idea how they cooked it. I also loved how they sauteed it in hot red and green peppers which were delicious. It was supposed to come with either steamed rice or fried rice but they forgot to give it to us. It was fine bcuz we were stuffed by the end. The chicken wings were so cripsy and delicious as well!
The service was great and they call everyone hun or honey and really try to get to know their customers. They’re going to have great buisness because nowhere else in colorado can compete with their type of food. Finally an authentic Chinese place here and I am so happy!!!1

Inspired by the Cha Chaan Tengs (or «tea eateries») so popular in the Chinese region for which it is named, Hong Kong Café will both surprise («What the heck is that doing on the menu?») and delight («Oh wow, this is so yummy!») you at every turn. And you’ll love it.
A Cha Chaan Teng is, in a very broad sense, similar to an American diner — a casual restaurant with a large menu catering to those wanting a quick but still tasty nosh. And Hong Kong Café is no exception. Begin with some Yuanyang [equal parts coffee and tea], or a nice tall glass of shaved ice with evaporated milk and fruit chunks (or cool grass-​jelly cubes, or sweet ‘n’ squishy red beans) while you peruse the menu. Mmmm, they have borscht — and it’s very good — but do be advised that the kind popular in Hong Kong is tomato-​based and tangier than its Russian counterpart. Or how about a Spam and egg sandwich? A plate of fried calamari? Some toast with condensed milk and peanut butter [mmmmmmmmmmm]? You weren’t expecting any of those were you? And the hits just keep on coming with the main courses.
Ooh, doesn’t some baked spaghetti sound good right now? And you’re in luck — Hong Kong Café offers it with no fewer than five sauce options (including chili/​black pepper, rich cream, and oniony garlic) as well as your choice of pork or chicken. Another great selection is the slow-​braised beef brisket in curry sauce over steamed rice — my mouth is watering just typing that! Meanwhile, seafood lovers (among others) will go agog for the fried fish cutlet liberally drenched in creamed sweetcorn. And we can’t forget the duck or pork noodle soup with pickled Gai Choy [mustard greens], or indeed the «Western-​style» ketchup fried rice either. For the more conservative palates, there are of course plenty of sweet-​n-​sour/​happy family/​General Tao’s-type possibilities too. But don’t let my gushing about Hong Kong Café sway you — try them yourselves!

It’s 12:30 am and why am I writing this review instead of sleeping? Because I do not want to waste any time telling everyone how great this place is. This place makes me feel glad that I live where I’m at because of how close it is to the restaurant. Sounds crazy, I know but I’m bias. Being born and raised in Hong Kong, I’ve have always missed the Hong Kong style café in the US. Even living in Hawaii with a large Asian population, I had not found a place comparable to this. Let’s start from the beginning.
I just so happened to drive by this place on my way to the Mexican bakery in the same strip mall. Attracted by its name «Hong Kong Café», I slammed on my brakes so hard my bf almost got whiplash. We already had dinner but I just had to go in and grab a menu. I was oohing and ahhing when I was reading through the menu, and squealed with excitement when I saw baked pork chop rice on it. Wasting no time, we met up with two friends for dinner the next day.
There were so many things we wanted to have but I just had to do the baked pork chop rice with red sauce. My bf ordered baked seafood rice with white sauce. One friend also ordered the pork chop rice while the other had beef noodle soup. We also had chicken wings as appetizer. For drinks, we had Hong Kong style milk tea and milk tea + coffee.
Now let me warn you, if you’ve never had Hong Kong café style food, it’s a little different than other Chinese food you’ve had. Yes they have sesame chicken on the menu, and I’m sure that’s good too, but that’s not why we’re here. Hong Kong café food is a little bit of a mix between Chinese and western (fusion, if we’re getting fancy here). The red sauce that comes with the pork chop rice isn’t exactly a marinara sauce. It’s a little sweater and thicker, with cheese on top and onion mixed in. The milk tea doesn’t come with sugar; it’s a little more bitter than your normal tea, and you’d add sugar to the sweetness of your liking. The white sauce is not exactly cream sauce you’ll have at an Italian place either. But I promise you, everything is tasting as they’re supposed to. They’re so good, all 4 of us went back the next day for lunch.
You heard me right… in less than 18 hours, we were there twice. This time, we tried the fried tofu as appetizer (crunchy on the outside with a yummy soy base sauce on the side), udon with black pepper sauce (amazing), the seafood tofu soup (so yummy), and baked chicken rice with garlic sauce (can anything be too garlicky? I think not!). In addition to the milk teas, we ended the meal with some delicious red bean ice cream drink dessert. Seeing a trend here? Everything here is awesome, I don’t think you can go wrong ordering anything. Their prices are more than reasonable and portions are great. Pork chop rice was about $ 11 and you’ll really have to work at it to finish it in one seating. It actually lasted for 3 meals for me.
Besides from the friendly service from our waiter, the owners also came out and chatted with us. He was super nice and friendly, explaining to us his process behind some of his food. There’s the quick way of making food, and then there’s the right way. They’re definitely doing this right. If you want authentic Hong Kong café style food, look no further, they got it right here! Actually, if that’s not what you’re looking for, you still need to go and give them a try… you’ll love it!

Grand opening 5 days ago! New Hong Kong spot, taking over what was previously Tumrup Thai. I stopped by for dinner with my mom, so we only tried two dishes but so far so good! Will have to visit again soon. We ordered the beef curry, which is ok… and the pork chop baked rice with spaghetti sauce, which was bomb! Hong Kong with a western flair!
We also ordered the red bean ice drink with ice cream. They forgot the ice cream at first and when I was done with the drink, I saw another table get theirs with an ice cream scoop on top. I asked them why mine was missing and they quickly took my drink back to fix it. So unfortunately, my photo doesn’t show the ice cream but you can picture that vanilla goodness on top!
