We just discovered this HK style restaurant today. It has been here for a long time but we just haven’t been here. I guess we missed out a lot of good Cantonese food.
We came for breakfast. Their breakfast menu is fantastic. It contains all my favorites including varieties of congee, pineapple buns, soy sauce fried noodle, fried rice noodles with beef, and all the HK style western breakfasts.
The way for me to tell whether the restaurant is an authentic Hk style restaurant is to taste their soy sauce fried noodle and fried rice noodle with beef. If they do that well, then I feel the restaurant serves authentic Hong Kong style food.
The soy sauce fried noodle we ordered this morning was amazing. The noodles were moist yet crispy with a lot of flavors. This dish tasted very similar to the ones I had in Hong Kong. The congee with a thousand year old egg was good too but a bit thick for me. Some people like it that way.
The BBQ pork steam noodle was one of the best I had for a long time. Unlike other restaurant, the noodle here is very fine and soft with generous portions of BBQ pork.
The western breakfast was very good too. My wife had their pan fried chicken steak with egg. The chicken was cooked perfectly resulting in a chicken steak with crispy skin and very tender and juicy meat.
I was also surprised to find on the menu that they offer clay pot rice and Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich for breakfast. Will come back to try these items next time.
This place tends to get packed in the morning for patio dining but the wait is not too long as the foods come out...
Read moreGreat place for a Chinese breakfast (congee) and soy sauce chow mein...but this time...scrambled eggs and corned beef, coes with a elbow macaroni soup and toast 5/5...iced coffee 5/5....also ordered the scrambled eggs and panfriend chicken 5/5. ...love watching the going back and forth from kitchen to front of house with takeout orders.. only once have I been served by the robot....humans still work here, even tho they are unsmiling albeit efficient... even the robot has a happy face on its monitor!! But you can always flag down a water for the check fir extra napkins dir containers....they do keep a watchful eye although it may not seem like it. This place has cool lighting fixtures lots of tables and booths and has a quirky nightclub vibe though the lighting is bright. My problem is being seated near the open door with cigarette smoke wafting in. It's hard to enjoy a meal with all that cigarette smoke. To enter the restaurant you have to pass thru a smoking section. It would be so nice not to smell cigarette when entering and exiting. It's actually highly irritating and unpleasant, not to mention unhealthy. A total no smoking ban would be so welcome. But my mom likes eating here. Prices are reasonable. Food is excellent. The cook knows how to make a fluffy scrambled egg.
TIP: Hold your breath when you enter or exit...try being seated away from...
Read moreSunday Bistro in Alhambra is a HK style restaurant that delivers on both flavor and service. My recent dining experience was fantastic, starting with the warm and inviting atmosphere.
The food was also very delicious! The Pineapple Bun was a perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a soft, fluffy texture. My favorite was the Baked Fillet with Spinach in Cream Cheese Sauce, rich and creamy without being too heavy. The fish was also cooked perfectly and super tender. For a comforting and flavorful dish, the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce in Hot Pot is a must get.
The grilled items were cooked to perfection. The Grilled Pork Chop and Chicken Steak were both juicy and tender. The HK Style Sweet & Sour Pork was a great example of a classic done right, with a tangy and sweet sauce that coated the crispy pork perfectly. The Braised Tofu in Brown Sauce was simple yet delicious, the tofu incredibly soft on the inside with a delicious sauce. The Beef Chow Fun and Beef Hot Pot were hearty and flavorful.
The service was prompt and friendly, making the entire meal a pleasant and relaxed experience. The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Sunday Bistro offers a wonderful culinary journey with its wide variety of dishes and exceptional quality. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great meal...
