Full House Cafe - Oakland

Finally tried this place after passing by it dozens of time when going to New Tin's Market. Was pretty good. Had your usual large menu for this type of Hong Kong style cafe, while all the items were decently priced compare to the other restaurants of this type nearby. A nice plus for this place was that most cafe style entree menus include a drink which is usually extra at other places. The taste was good and the portion as decent. Only bad thing to say was that it took a while for all my food to arrive, I was with a friend and I ordered a baked dish while my friend just order the curry chicken with rice. My baked dish came out pretty fast for a baked dish, but my friends curry didn't come out until I was almost done eating mine. So there's a question on how good the service is.

Good service. My favorites are iced lemon tea and egg puffle. Their lunch combo price is competitive, drink is included, and no additional charge on iced drink.

Food is basic and good, Price is okay, Service is okay. Menu is confusing. Still don't understand the $5.99 breakfast menu. If adding a drink is $2.00 extra or just making the drink cold is $2.00 extra. Is the $5.99 bottom half of the menu only one item? Like is one egg is $5.99?

The door to enter is kind of blocked off by a wall and it may feel odd or awkward to enter, but don't let that stop you. We came for late lunch and were the only ones here. There was one waitress working and she was kind and welcoming. We ordered three things and our order took about 25 minutes to come out. The fries came within 25 minutes. Fries were 6.99 and were okay... I was desperate for fries and would not get this next time. We ordered a boiled beef offal (it is a spicy chili oil soupy like sauce with beef and tripe, and bean sprouts). This was really good. It isn't too salty and the spiciness is perfect. It is $20.99 and definitely worth it, especially if you love tripe and bean sprouts! It's a pretty big serving which made us very happy given the price. The clay pot was $14.99 and it was pretty good! I just wish there were more rice given the price. I also noticed that the menu prices were a dollar or two difference for the clay pot and fries. I'm guessing they changed the price but didn't update the menu? I did not realize this until I looked at my photos of the menu on my phone. Honestly, not a huge deal but please check your bill. All in all, would come again for that beef tripe dish!

They have the best quality hot hk style milk tea in Chinatown! Only the real people that drink hk milk tea will know. All the other places in Chinatown can't even get their tea right to even start brewing hk style milk tea! Cheers to a quality cup
