Alice’s Kitchen - Temple City

The food here is decent, typical of a Hong Kong cafe. It’s not particularly good or bad, but the prices are reasonable. If you come around noon after 12 p.m., you’ll likely find fewer people.

Had a great experience at Alice Kitchen for a family-style dinner. We made a reservation in advance for their 8–10 person set menu ($438), and it was definitely worth it. The biggest highlight is how convenient the set menu is—no need to think about what to order, and you get a wide variety of dishes. Every course we had was solid, and there really wasn’t a weak dish. Standouts for me included the braised pigeon, crispy beef brisket (crispy on the outside and tender inside), ginger scallion lobster, and the black truffle fried rice. The portions were generous, and everything came out well-prepared and flavorful. They also included a complimentary Ovaltine French toast for dessert, which was a nice sweet ending. We added the HK-style pork ribs as well, which were also very tasty. This is a great spot for family gatherings or group dinners—especially if you want a full, satisfying meal without the hassle of ordering individually. One thing to note: the restaurant is quite lively and can get a bit noisy, and there are no private rooms. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quieter setting. Overall, great food, good value for a large group, and

Looking for a taste of Hong Kong in the SGV? I checked out Alice’s Kitchen in Temple City and it really feels like dining on the streets of Hong Kong. The ambiance is super cool, with fake storefronts and shop signs that set the vibe. The menu is large, with a mix of Hong Kong cafe classics and Cantonese dishes. My friend ordered the fish maw soup and I had the baked pork chop rice. Both were delicious, generously portioned, and very reasonably priced. Service is standard for an HK cafe.

I came here yesterday for lunch with my parents and ended up being really impressed. Alice’s Kitchen might just be the best Hong Kong-style cafe in the SGV. We ordered the baked pork chop over pasta with tomato sauce and cheese, salt and pepper squid and wings, and the salted crispy pork knuckle. Everything was delicious. The baked pork chop was comforting and flavorful with a nice balance of sauce and cheese. The squid and wings were crispy, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing. The pork knuckle was the standout for me. Super crispy on the outside and still juicy inside. That said, the portions are a bit on the smaller side compared to places like Delicious Food Corner and some other HK cafes, especially given how good the food is. Service was amazing because they kept coming over to refill our drinks and asked if we needed anything else. For drinks, I got the iced lemon tea, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. My dad ordered the iced milk tea and coffee and enjoyed both. Solid HK cafe drinks that pair well with the food. The ambiance is a big plus. The neon lights, wall art, and street scene paintings really make it feel like you are back in Hong Kong. It does get a
