Ho Kee Cafe - San Gabriel, California

We ordered the shrimp chow fun with egg and the shrimp was too salty, fishy tasting and had a sour aftertaste at the end. It seemed as though the shrimp was not fresh and on the verge of spoiling. The noodles had no wok hei despite being chow fun. After telling the staff about it, instead of preparing something else, they only gave a 5 dollar discount. The wonton noodles are nothing to write home about but the fried seafood noodles were okay. Afterwards the staff did give a plate of fruits and fortune cookies but it was still a disappointing dinner as the shrimp was rather unpleasant.

這家雲吞应该是洛杉矶地区最好的，味道確實非常好，但是裡面的猪肉太粗糙还有没切碎的肥肉块。虾仁很翠，虾仁也有三個四個。
干炒牛河做的一流味道，鍋气也重就是牛肉沒有漿好不嫩滑。非常推薦的地方去试一下。

Quality has gone down so much - The roasted duck doesn't taste fresh and lack the aroma it should have. The veggie is not fresh either. One could tell the leaves and stems were wilted even before it was cooked. Worst of all, there was sand or something gritty in the rice. It was so disgusting I had to spit it out.

Disappointed.

Found a hair when almost done eating, which is definitely ruined everything. The stir fry rice noodles is mediocre at best, and it supposed to be a very common Cantonese dish. The soy sauce combination tastes fine until I see the hair. BTW I like the soy beans idea (prevent food dipping in the sauce for too long and enhance the flavor at the same time) but with the price paid, it feels a little cheesy.

I rarely rate a restaurant with only one try, but finding hair in food is definitely a stop sign.

Parking and the interior decor might be the best/strongest suit about this place.

清湯麵很推！如果喜歡口味清淡又吃膩了美國餐的朋友應該會懷念的亞洲味道，梅干扣肉、炸豬腸都很不錯餐廳不大，但是乾乾淨淨的。

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).

I used to come here regularly for the roast duck but the last three times I have come here, the quality of the ducks have been inconsistent at best. There has been a very gamey and tough quality of the meat and it makes me wonder whether they're using expired or frozen meat.

Additionally when I order the whole duck, I've noticed that the chopped up portion is significantly smaller than the whole duck. I have a suspicion that they're secretly taking a portion out and giving it to the customers that are ordering duck over rice. I was a long term customer but definitely won't be coming back here again. There are better duck places in the SGV.

The waiter is very lovely, and the food is awesome. My friend, who is from Guangzhou, really like the noodle there, and he said it is pretty authentic. The shrimp is also pretty good. I would love to come there again for another food.
