This is the sister restaurant of Boston Cafe. Boston Kitchen is located outside of Hong Kong Plaza. There's not a lot of space inside the restaurant... around 18-20 tables. But the food isn't too bad, not too expensive either. The service wasn't bad, but then... the boss was there watching =P
Won ton noodle soup was ok, but still doesn't taste like HK style. I kinda like their HK Style milk tea... with free refill. I like their spicy pepper chicken wings/calamari combo. Their seafood crispy pan fried noodle was good too.
This place is ok for Cantonese Chinese food. We ordered the backed pork chop over rice which seemed to be what everybody was ordering that night. It was hot and I liked how it was mini "individual" pork chops versus just two huge ass pieces. Definitely made it easier to share. We also ordered the won ton "lo mien" which I thought was just mediocre and nothing special...
Decent place with no WOW factor, but fair prices.

Food's about the same as Garden Cafe next door, although Garden may not have the $30 surf-n-turf. If they can make a won ton noodle soup that I'm happy with (w/plenty of veggies), then they have my business. An extra star for staying open late (till 4am on weekends!)
Good job with the interior decor too, you can't tell that it used to be a KFC (unless you look at it from outside.)

I like the place, food tasts pretty good
Re-fill on most of their drinks
portion is decent !
Ehh...
I don't know about this place. I usually cant find place that can make really good Cantonese styled food.
The service is really slow here and the food is average...almost dull.
I would rather go to Phoenix Cafe down the street.

This is by far one of the worst HK-style cafes in Rowland Heights. First of all, I was led to believe that they had some sort of "all-u-can-eat wonton soup with extra veggies" special, but was sadly mistaken. Since I was already there, I decided to try the Catonese Duck & Fried Pork Chop over bak-choy and rice (Chen Fun Fu Hop Sink Dish), and it had to have been one of the WORST things i've ever had. We need to bring KFC back, because Boston Kitchen does no justice to all the HK-style cafes.
Decent cantonese food. Great portions. OK service. Nothing bad about this place, but no WOW-factor either. :-)
The soups are yummy, and the table next to us ordered what looked like lettuce wraps and I was drooling looking at them eat it. I'm going back just to try the lettuce wrap dish next time. = D

For all the HK-style cafe around Rowland Heights, Boston Kitchen I'll rank it as my tied at 2nd/3rd, cause It's sister restaurant Boston Cafe on Azusa Ave would be the one at the same level. Sometime Boston Cafe is better, sometime Boston Kitchen is... really depends on what you plan on ordering :-)
Hmm what am I to yelp about this place... being a Chinese myself, not much. Typical selection of dishes and a fair-to-good quality of food (depending what you are ordering). Service is... just as you expected from a HK-style cafe. Period~
My top choice among -ALL- the HK-style cafe around Rowland Heights would definitely goes to Red Ant Cafe!!! I only came to Boston because parking over at Diamond Plaza for Red Ant Cafe is a *MEGA*NIGHTMARE*......
this place sucks. Why do we need another mediocore Cantonese Cafe in the heights? Should have went to Garden instead!
The place is tiny but packed with tables which leaves no space in between. Non of the servers knew exactly what they were doing and can not answer any questions we had.
Menu was just like any other Cafe but definitely over-priced. My beef stir-fry noodle was tastless and greasy, prawn was sticky and ketchup-y, the only thing that was good was the chicken wings/calamari which taste the same no matter which Cafe you go to! I mean, even the lemon tea was tooooo sweet!
Maxim, Garden, DJs. .etc.... are all much better than this joint.

Fairly good Cantonese food. I wonder if this owned by Garden Cafe too? I have to agree that the service here is lame, why do you always have to flag these ppl down? Memorable dishes I ordered- "shark fin" soup, shrimp fried rice, red bean/green jelly drink. Decent prices.
This restaurant used to be KFC conveniently located at the corner of Batson and Colima. Looks like the grand opening is pretty recent. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. It's mid size restaurant.
This place serves Hong Kong Cafe style food, usual Chinese a la carte dishes and Hot Pot Rice (Poh Jai Fan). We took the largest table just before 7pm hit. Since we were starving, we didn't go for Poh Jai Fan since it takes at least 20 minutes to prepare. Instead, we ordered a variety of HK Cafe style dishes:
Beef Stir Fry noodles (Kon-Chow-Ngao-Hor) - very good!
XO fried rice - excellent. I love this dish.
singaporean fried vermicelli - the only disappointing dish. Strong curry smell but not evenly mix. Some part were salty and some part were extremely blend.
Cripsy noodles chow mein (liong min wong) - very good.
Indonesian Seafood Chow Hor - this is the first time I heard the dish. Good spiciness to it however I feel it's a little blend. Other dishes tends to overpower it.
oven baked cheesy seafood on rice - it's a nice mix of cheesy and seafood on rice. However, I am not used to cheese on rice so it kinda got to me!
pork chop with spaghetti - nice and tasty.
There were 7 of us and 7 dishes. Huge portion and none of us could finish it. We will be eating the leftovers for our lunch at work! I would go back again and check out Poh Jai Fan when I am not starving and need refuel right away.
