S & E Cafe

This place re-opened for Dine-In following the pandemic, the atmosphere and vibe was perfect. I got the baked ox tongue spaghetti, it was baked to perfection with cheese on top. The quantity was great and the quality was excellent as well. Afterwards there is jell-o which always makes a great dessert. Overall would come back again.

Solid HK Cafe comfort food. Nothing too glam or glits about this place. Hits the spot though. Their beef Chow fun was pretty good though I feel like the portions can be slightly larger.

S & E Cafe recently reopened for indoor dining about one month ago. Hooray! I'm happy to see we've turned a corner as they were closed for indoor dining for over two years. Regulars will notice there are slight changes to the menu. I had the runny egg seafood crispy noodles $17 and a ice milk tea $3.50. With fish pieces, runny egg, scallops and shrimps, this was great. The crispy noodles stayed crispy because the chef didn't put too much gravy. Good job everyone at S & E Cafe.

Authentic HK style Cafe...only problem is parking.

Have you ever had really high quality 80's Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong or the old San Francisco Chinatown/Peninsula before the Loma Prieta earthquake? This restaurant is that gold standard quality. They can cook up a storm!...if you've seen Stephen Chow's movie, "The God of Cookery"? You get a tear after a bite like that ending scene with that judge because you remember how good food is supposed to taste like. This restaurant has an incredible chef with cutting skills like that movie. Ask Paul the new owner to order you the banquet style sliced ham perfectly cut chicken dish and you will know what I mean about this chef' s cuttery skills as in like "The God of Cookery". Just to be clear I'm not a cook nor in the restaurant biz; I was a biopharma R&D Chemist, then Forensic Scientist, then Pharma Quality Management. I'm a tough critic when it comes to Hk-Canto food of being quality or not. I can't stand bad food. This restaurant from the first to the last dish on both dinner occasions we visited were superb; just like the golden era days of the past. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Jet Li movies. Ingredients procurement to preparation were all A++. They have a lot of celebrities that frequent here too to taste traditional authentic HK/Canto-food.

Real deal Hong Kong style food. We ordered off the menu items like sautéed gailan, black bean garlic ginger leek crab, yu choi, and hk style beef ho fun. Good clear broth house soup and taro tapioca dessert in hot coconut soup on the house like the house soup. The crab was live swimming in tank minutes before served to us!

Super low key neighborhood joint for your HK Style Cafe. Really affordable and solid HK comfort food. Their best dish has to be the chicken baked rice varieties (Portuguese, HK, or Macau style). The chicken is always perfectly done, super tender and juicy. On top of that they also always give you a complimentary soup for your lunch and dinner which is a plus. The part I love the most is there's a real sense of community. Everyone here seems to know each other.

5-stars for Kery! She was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, engaging in conversation, and attentive with the food service. I don’t expect much from service at a Chinese restaurant, but she would have been exceptional anywhere! The food itself was a bit above average and a good price.
