九龍冰室 Kowloon cafe

I am grateful that Reading got this Chinese restaurant that we can have HongKong food~ I think the food is better than the first time I came,which means the chef and owner are work hard to improve based on reviews. My fav food is Dry Fried Beef Noodles and Potato and Beef Baked Rice! Hope the business grows steadily and more delicious dishes are developed!

Everything was super tasty with a real Hong Kong vibe. The place was clean and cozy. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back!

If you’re looking for authentic Hong Kong comfort food, Kowloon Cafe is a must-visit. I started with the beef chow fun, and it was everything I hoped for. The noodles were perfectly stir-fried with wok hei (that smoky, charred flavor). The beef was tender and flavorful, and the dish wasn’t overly greasy, which can sometimes happen with chow fun. The Hong Kong-style French toast was pure indulgence. Thick, fluffy slices soaked in egg, fried to golden perfection, and served with butter and syrup—it’s simple, but so satisfying. The satay beef noodle felt just like something you’d get in Hong Kong. The sauce was rich and packed with a bold, peanut-forward satay flavor—savory, slightly sweet, and with just the right amount of spice. The tender beef slices were coated in the sauce, and the noodles soaked up all that deliciousness perfectly. The cheese bake pork chop fried rice was another standout. The pork chop was juicy and flavorful, sitting on top of fried rice that was rich and comforting. The layer of gooey, melted cheese added just the right amount of indulgence to tie it all together. The scallion crispy chicken rice was a winner, too. The chicken had perfectly crispy skin, and the scallion oil drizzled over it gave it an aromatic, savory kick. Paired with steamed rice, it was hearty and delicious. Finally, the milk tea—what can I say? It was smooth, creamy, and had that strong, bold tea flavor that makes it unmistakably Hong Kong-style. I’d honestly go back just for that. The portions were generous, the prices reasonable, and the service quick and friendly. If you’re craving real Hong Kong flavors, Kowloon Cafe is the place to go.

This was my first time eating Hong Kong food and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Hong Kong-style fried chicken leg and rice with soy sauce - it was delicious. The staff also gave me an extra bowl of soy sauce to use. The ice milk tea was also sweet and refreshing. My friend who is a Hong Kong-native felt the food was authentic and delicious, and we came under his recommendation. The best part about this cafe is the excellent customer service - the staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The female owner in particular was warm and kind. Customer service has been declining in recent years in the country, but these staff went above and beyond. They greeted us, chatted to make sure everything was to our taste, and gave us a warm send off. I can't recommend the cafe enough. If you've never tried Hong Kong food, I would definitely come along and try.

Visiting the UK and came to this lovely café for a bday dinner with family today. I'm quite used to the cafés in Hong Kong, but was still pleasantly surprised with the high quality food, the cleanliness and the nostalgic décor here. The 老闆娘 (lady owner) was really friendly, considerate and ultra sweet. Would definitely revisit if I get the chance

One of the most authentic Hong Kong style food in Reading-Bracknell-Maidenhead area. Price is generally reasonable, and quite a lot of choices.

Brilliant service. The HK-style French Toast with butter is scrumptious - highly recommended. Also, HK-style milk tea is amazing and taste truly authentic.

I'm a greedy eater, I am. So when I go somewhere new I always order more than normal as I want to taste it all. As I was ordering 3 meals plus the extra Hong Kong French toast. The waiter was shocked that I ordered so much and said "you are aware you order 3 meals" I replied with a confident reply "I can eat it all" but boy am I wrong! First item, satay noodle but I came with extra spam, sausage, fried egg and two slices of buttered bread. Second item was beef on black bean sauce with hor fun. Huge portion! Third item was dry stir fry beef hor fun which came in another huge plate. Fourth item and complimentary was the peanut butter Hong Kong style french toast with syrup which was damn amazing. Obviously I could only manage.... With my partner the French toast and satay noodles and the egg spam bread sausage combo, all the others had to be packed away for home for midnight snack. This place does give the taste of Hong Kong and I would definitely recommend and will return as there are so many items I want to try. Second recommendation is to not order too much unless you want takeaway but somehow... I think it's a great thing if you're into midnight snacks!! Oh yeah, and cold mixed tea coffee and HK style milk tea for drinks too.
