Fairwood Cafe Reviews

I couldn't understand half the stuff on the menu, I was pleasantly surprised with what I got. The beef tongue dish was so comforting and well balanced. The steak was a little tough. Overall, a very good local spot for comfort food and value sets. Diner style was cute.

ORDER -Baked Rice Ox Tongue -Seafood Macaroni STARS (stand out qualities) -Food is tasty - particularly liked the ox tongue which was tender -Prices are reasonable for Bay Area and given portion -Appreciate the soup and bread that comes with baked rice -Comfortable booth seating and tables -Inside seems fairly clean -Easy parking -Service is pretty responsive and quick STAIRS (areas of growth) -Food is solid but not outstanding -Baked sauce could use more flavor -Wish they had more promotions or more things to make customer feel the value of visiting (e.g. free birthday meal, seniors/kids get discount on certain times) TIPS -If you are not too hungry, two people could probably share the baked rice dishes -Bathroom is outside; probably shared with other businesses in same unit (I heard very dirty but didn't see fit myself)

I had the best chicken congee here! My boyfriend had the pig organ congee, which was equally good! Both had this natural homey and sweetness with every bite. Our waitress was amazing and super friendly. The restaurant itself has a very traditional hk cafe feeling. I highly recommend here!

Good Hong Kong cafe! They have party trays for the holidays. Cantonese food is the best.

It is already over 9pm, found that Fairwood Cafe is still open, so we came here. Glad that we made the right choice. The staff highly recommend Hainan Chicken Rice and told us it was made fresh today, so we trust her and ordered it. It is soooooo good - yummy, juicy, and fresh, very authentic! We also ordered Rickshaw Noodles - it is as expected, no surprise, fish ball, beef ball, and pork ball all as usual. Beef brisket good, however raddish not as tender and taste bland. I special request Shanghainese noodle instead of the regular egg noodles, pretty good.

I love this place!! I love being able to customize my food, lol. This pace is tucked in a corner and a little hidden if you're not looking for it. There is so many food to choose from and you can cater it your liking. The lady was very helpful and patient as I skimmed through the menu. I opted for baked seafood pasta with white sauce and baked chicken steak over fried rice with red sauce. You really get what you paid for! I had leftovers for the next day. The food is cooked so well and it smelled so good. I loved the red sauce, but the white sauce was the winner. I loved it with the seafood! The chicken was a good portion and there was enough seafood to last until the next day.

Looking for a quick, hearty Hong Kong style meal and or a drink to quench your thirst? Well, Fairwood Cafe, a moniker resembling the one from Hong Kong, will serve you well! Their extensive menu spans across breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and drinks and oftentimes includes specials of the day. I'm fond of a few of their signature dishes but you'll find something for you, too, I'm sure. My personal picks would include their omelettes (come with fries), baked #1 pork chop over rice (comes with chicken wing and fried egg), curry or Portuguese style rice or the spaghetti variation, and fried chicken wings (comes with fries). All of their big entrees come with a slice of garlic bread and soup. Pretty decent value and the food always comes out piping hot. Oh, and you cannot forget to order a HK style drink. Whether it's the milk tea or coffee milk tea, you won't go wrong. You could also try their lemon tea (iced or hot) which is a favorite of mine when we visit Hong Kong. The service is great! We were seated and served pretty quickly . They took our drink and meal orders and even gave out a juice box for our kiddo (complimentary). There are quite a few tables and booths to choose from and usually, there's a spot without waiting. Parking lot is usually empty and it's right off the highway so there should be no issues getting here. Overall, while the food may not be the healthiest, it's plentiful, fairly priced, delicious, and quick. And if you're looking to relive a bit of Hong Kong culture through its cuisine, this is a great place to start!

Good place for a comforting meal, feels very homey I just wanted a hot drink to warm up after being in the cold and my friend wanted a good meal to fill him up and we both left satisfied It is cash only but we didn't realize that until we got the the check so we were very worried because we didn't have enough cash on us but fortunately they take venmo too (but only my friend had venmo, so if I was there myself it would've been bad ) Will definitely be back but will make sure to have cash on me haha

Visited this spot recently for lunch and the place seems like it might've had a light remodel --looked cleaner and fresher than I remembered. Service was friendly and food came out fast. They served complimentary slice of garlic bread and HK-style borscht soup which was lightly sweet with celery, cabbage, and carrots. A nice touch to start the meal. I ordered their baked pork chop with red sauce and spaghetti. The portion was generous. The sauce was more on the sweet side with less of the strong tomato flavor you might expect, similar to the Filipino spaghetti dish. It also came with a crispy wing and a well-done fried egg. Pro tip: add some of the chili oil from the table if you want a kick! Overall, this was a 4/5 for me. Also ordered their lemon tea which turned out to be a HK style iced tea. Tasted just like the ones you get from HK. It was perfectly balanced in sweetness (though I could see others preferring it to be a little sweeter). It came with 4 slices of lemon that you can smash with a spoon to get the full citrusy flavor. Highly recommend. 5/5 Overall, solid experience. Would return to try other items from their menu
