Alice’s Kitchen, which has locations in Temple City and Monterey Park, leans into Hong Kong nostalgia in both its menu and decor. The dining room at the Temple City location is surrounded by faux storefronts and market stalls with Cantonese letters lit in neon; settling in to eat here feels like having a meal in the bustling Mong Kok district. The food feels just as exciting, too — expect both sweet and savory options that embody the merging of Western and Eastern palates that Hong Kong has long been known for.
A weekend breakfast with a crowd (the bigger your party size, the more you can order to fill up the lazy Susan). The menu runs deep and there’s a lot to explore.
Affordable breakfast and lunch combinations include a drink and side dish. Check the board and see what weekly specials have dropped; when choosing a drink, go for the strongly brewed Hong Kong milk tea.
