About Garden Cafe
Garden Cafe is a chinese bbq in Alhambra, California. It is listed at 228 W Valley Blvd, Alhambra, CA 91801, which places it among the local businesses of Alhambra that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Alhambra; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in California are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 8 am–10 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Garden Cafe at (626) 289-1833; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

I gave them a try and couple of weeks ago, they food was tasty, so I decided to go back. Surely enough, it was consistently good. I know the plates are ment to be shared, but I honestly didn't want to share.

UH-MAZING FOOD. Came back after the last time I went in middle school, and the food quality is still just as good. The prices have remained incredibly affordable, staying true to the spirit of local Hong Kong–style breakfast restaurants. The food portion is great for the price- YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY OTHER PLACE WHERE THEY SELL A 12$ HEARTY BREAKFAST COMBO. The lamb chops with the mushroom sauce is delectable (this menu item was either removed or moved to the off-catalog secret menu BUT ORDER IT nonetheless). The congees- yea don’t even get me started. I COULD SCARF DOWN THREE PLAIN CONGEES because that’s how PERFECTLY seasoned they are, but of course you gotta get the classic egg century congee. I’m telling you one big congee serves 6 servings and me and my brother annihilated that ourselves. The regular portion serves 2 people. Oh yea, get the red bean shaved ice beverage ITS UH-MAZING just as I remembered. Service EXTREMELY efficient your American brunches could never. I was incredibly amazed by not just the consistency in food quality but service after a decade. In fact, the vibe, the restroom, and the whole setup were exactly as I remembered. Even the women’s restroom still had

Came for a late dinner and the cafe was pretty empty. The dinner/all-day specials are really good! One of us got a grilled steak and chicken wings for $16, and the whole roasted chicken with tomato basil rice was $11.88. You can't beat the price on this, especially since everything tastes great too. We also got a seafood ramen, the dinner set A, and a hk French toast. Everything just hits the spot.

Big varieties on the menu. There is so much selection to choose from. Great food, good service. Just don't understand why they automatically charge 18% tips on the bill. That was the downfall. If you order steak or pork or chicken steak, it's a wait time. Other dishes are quick. They also have a kids menu.

We love this place!!!!! I have been here since my childhood and they never disappoint. Such a cozy atmosphere for family dining. Their menu selection is HUGE and there's always something that will fit the taste of everyone in your party. On top of that, the price is so affordable wow! I highly recommend any of the fried rice (pick your favorite one but mine is the Fu-chow fried rice 😋). Veggies, soup, and all the classic Canto/Chinese dishes yum!
