Only $8 per steak! This 20-year-old Hong Kong-style cafe in LA 🍽️

This Hong Kong-style cafe has been a Monterey Park staple for 20 years. It’s not a trendy spot—most customers are locals and students, the kind of place people come back to again and again. We ordered quite a bit this time, so here’s a dish-by-dish breakdown 👇 🥩 Steak / Pork Chop / Chicken Chop (Combo Plates) We got beef steak, pork chop, and chicken chop—all three together cost $23, averaging $8 per steak! It’s classic Hong Kong-style—not thick-cut steakhouse quality, but well-seasoned and perfect with rice. For LA prices, this is super affordable. 🐂 Red Wine Beef Tongue – $12.20 Honestly, this price surprised me. Finding red wine beef tongue for just over $12 at a cafe is rare. The slices aren’t thick, the wine flavor is subtle, but it’s tasty and looks nice on camera—a little “treat yourself” moment. 🍝 Hong Kong-style Baked Spaghetti Classic HK-style baked pasta. Tomato sauce isn’t too sweet or heavy—just comforting. 🍞 French Toast – $8.75 Crispy outside, soft inside—best eaten hot! 🍲 Lamb Belly Hot Pot (Will order next time) Didn’t get it this time, but almost every neighboring table had one. Perfect for colder weather—next visit, this is on my list. 💰 Overall Thoughts Our whole table of food came to around $100. Flavors are traditional Hong Kong-style—no fancy plating, but affordable prices and lots of choices. No wonder locals and students keep coming back. If you want a filling, budget-friendly, reliable Hong Kong-style cafe, this is a solid pick. 📍 JJ Hong Kong Cafe 447 Garvey Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91754 #LosAngeles #LAEats #OldSchoolEatery #HongKongStyleCafe #MilkTea #Steak #WesternFood 🥢
