Just $8 per Steak! A 20-Year-Old Hong Kong Cafe in LA 🍴

This Hong Kong-style cafe has been in Monterey Park for 20 years. It’s not an influencer hotspot—most customers are regulars from the neighborhood or local students. The kind of place you return to again and again. We ordered a lot this time, so here’s a detailed rundown 👇 🥩 Beef / Pork / Chicken Steak (Combo Plates) We tried all three: beef, pork, and chicken steak. Total: $23 → about $8 per steak! It’s classic Hong Kong-style—not thick-cut steak, but well-seasoned and perfect with rice. For LA prices, that’s pretty budget-friendly. 🐂 Red Wine Ox Tongue – $12.20 Honestly surprising at this price—red wine ox tongue for just over $12 is rare in a cafe. Sliced thin, subtle wine flavor, reliable taste. Also photogenic—adds a little ✨fancy touch✨ to the table. 🍝 Hong Kong-Style Baked Spaghetti Standard HK-style baked pasta. Tomato sauce isn’t too sweet or heavy—just right. 🍞 French Toast – $8.75 Crispy on the outside, soft inside. Best enjoyed hot and fresh. 🍲 Lamb Belly Hot Pot (Will Order Next Time!) We didn’t get it this time, but almost every neighboring table had one. Perfect for colder weather—looks ideal for sharing slowly. Already on our list for next visit! 💰 Overall Thoughts We ordered a full table and spent around $100. Flavors are traditional Hong Kong-style—no fancy plating, but affordable, filling, and reliable. No wonder locals and students keep coming back. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, wallet-friendly, repeat-worthy Hong Kong cafe, this one’s solid. 📍 JJ Hong Kong Cafe 447 Garvey Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91754 #LosAngeles #LAEats #OldSchoolEatery #HongKongCafe #MilkTea #Steak #WesternFood
