Local Cafe

I was hoping to enjoy some good Cantonese food at Local Cafe, but it just didn’t work out. The curry sauce was watery and had almost no taste at all. The beef brisket was tough and lacked real flavor. The table and utensils wasn’t very clean. Overall, not the worst place ever, but I wouldn’t recommend it or come back again.

The waitress are nice. The beef gravy noodle and hk milk tea are good. The wonton is only ok. Kind of dry and dense. They have a promo now each $10 spent will have a token for the crawl machine. But it’s hard to get anything.

Your average stop for hearty Chinese food. They have a good deal. If you come between 5 and 9 pm any day, three items will cost just ~$26 The best item during my visit was the Potato & chicken hotpot. It's worth going back for. The customer service is great. We had a slight problem with one of our dishes, and they replaced the whole thing.

12/26/2023 It's been a while since I came back. I didn't like some of the dishes so I stopped coming. However, things have improved. 蝦醬牛鬆炒飯 - 牛鬆means minced beef. Not here. They cut into very small pieces so the texture is very different. Also lack of shrimp paste flavor. They need to at least double it to make it taste stronger. 鐵板黑椒餐肉公仔麵 - The noodle is a little bit soggy. Also prefer to have more black pepper flavor. 焗豬扒飯 - This one was the surprised because I gave up on them long ago cause they refused to battered the pork chop to make it pork cutlet before. Surprisingly, this time regular baked pork chop over rice is with fried pork cutlet. That makes a big difference. The tomato sauce ain't bad neither. With a little improvement, this can be a go to HK style restaurant at least for those who likes the above dishes.

Classic Hong Kong style cafe, order on your phone via QR code or with the waiter. Not obvious based off signage outside the restaurant but a great find! They have lunch specials which include tea

Local Cafe is a Chinese cafe on Hollenbeck in Cupertino. Authentic, central, and tasty. The service of Local Cafe was subpar the servers were not attentive at all and there was no polite conversation or any smiles which made annoyed the ambiance of Local Cafe was nice with lots of seating and a cool orange vibe with lots of posters on the wall. The food of Local Cafe was BOMBB. We got the YangZhou Fried Rice which was fried rice with ham and shrimp. We also got the Three Combo Meat Stir Fried Rice Stick Noodle. I don’t know why the name is so long, but it was a delicious dish! The fried rice had loads of shrimp and ham in it. Both dishes were a little greasy but they were still both delicious. They both had loads of meat. They were also very fresh and hot. The fried rice had some veggies and scrambled eggs mixed in and the rice was very loose making the dish even tastier. The noodles were very tiny and there was t an overwhelming amount of cabbage and onions like usual with noodle dishes. The ham tasted like Spam and was very savory and it complimented the subtle shrimp very well. Overall, although Local Cafe did not have adequate service it still had a nice ambiance and very tasty food. I would definitely come to Local Cafe for a quick fix and for some cheap food. For its affordability and tasty dishes I recommend Local Cafe to others!

I was looking for something nearby, and saw this restaurant on Google Maps. The reviews seemed so mixed, but I thought I would give it a try. I’m glad I did. I found the staff to be friendly and prompt, and ordered some Hot and Sour Soup and Kung Pow Chicken. Both were tasty and exactly what I was looking for. The prices were great. Definitely will be back!
