4/28/13 WELCOME TO MONUMENT, OK CAFE! I LIKE THE NEW LOOK!!! Oh so much food! What a yummy lunch in Concord. This former donut shop turned Chinese Restaurant is brand spanking new! Go check them out and then thank me. Friendly service and a great experience with surprisingly really low prices. Especially for the amount of food youre getting. We started our lunch today with Wor Wonton soup. After a large serving of the warm goodness, we moved on to pulled pork sandwiches on fried sweet buns. The slider-like sandwiches had cilantro and cucumber with plum sauce for the pork. Very good! The bread was excellent and the owner told us they are the only sandwiches with this style bread in the East Bay. For entrees we started with pan fried noodles. The crispy noodles had a nicely flavored sauce and lots of veggies and pork and fresh seafood. The noodles were so good! Wed never ordered this before. Broccoli beef and cashew chicken are dishes typically seen when we dine with my family and they both made an appearance today as well. They were each good in their own way. Not overly seasoned but a nice proportion of flavor. I actually didnt add any hot oil to my dishes like usual, though my mom put some on her steamed rice and enjoyed it. My favorite dish was the salt and pepper fish. The fish was really nicely breaded with a thin and flavorful breading. On top were crispy, tiny cubes of fried onion bits and jalapeno slices. Holy heaven. I LOVE jalapenos. And I love crispy fried onion bits. The combination with the tender fish was excellent. All of the plates were piled high with food so we were pretty full at the end, but I couldnt stop eating the topping that was on the fish. Definitely my favorite. They serve shaved ice with fresh fruit flavors (and donuts) but we skipped dessert this time. Good excuse to come back. The brand new kitchen sure looked clean. The owner mentioned theyre still so new theyre trying to find the right chef. I hope they keep the guy today. He was OK Cafe by me!

Great casual chinese food. Its homey in a good way. Favorite: OK Special Meat Buns are delicious. This place does not have my usual go-to chinese dishes, so its forced me to try a lot of the menu that I would normally ignore and Im so glad. I have never been disappointed, which is rare for me. The fish dishes are really good. Im giving the restaurant top marks because it really exceeds the "ok" expectation. Con: the prices are low, so you might order way too much food.

Excellent restaurant! Best Sweet & Sour Pork Ive had in years, and that includes some of the best in Los Angeles and Houston. The wonton soup is also among the top Ive tried. Service is always awesome; the staff are quick and friendly. I initially thought prices were a little higher than expected, but then I saw the that the portions and food quality make me think Im getting a steal instead! This is my go-to restaurant for a quick Asian meal when passing through town.

The Wonton Soup was chewy and oddly flavored. The wontons were in meaty balls. The wonton wrappers were way undercooked. The broth was lukewarm. The Sweet and Sour Pork was gristly, tough, chewy and had clumps of gelatinous fat. The Fried Rice tasted awful and was greasy. I was the only customer in the café and it took forever to get my food. You have to spend more than $20 to get "free" delivery. The upside is they are open late, but I will not be going back. Sad.

First time ordering from here. We had it delivered and timing was good. Food however is not great. The "prawns" with black bean sauce is shrimp more than prawn. The oyster beef is a little gristly but ok. The worst is the house fried rice. Its completely burnt! Manns was closed today but I think well stick with them in the future.

If you want the best and most authentic Chinese food, this is your place. Not only is the food really tasty, the prices and selection are great. The staff is friendly and attentive as well. Although their delivery service can have a hiccup or two, it doesnt really detract from anything. I definitely will be coming back for more!

Love these types of Chinese spots. Look in the back? Chinese guys cooking! Great dishes, open late, small, all awesome. I believe the owner is the former owner/manager of Lims Garden, because the food options we used to enjoy there, we can now enjoy here! The Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodle is my favorite dish of all time.

Like Chinese Cantonese food? Either you drive all the way to Oakland or San Francisco Chinatown or save your gas and come to OK Cafe if you live nearby Concord. Spinach with garlic sauce, beef stew clay pot, salt and pepper pork chop...all delicious. Total bill less than 30 bucks..Great service too.

This is a great alternative to any chain restaurant. Its not fancy, but the food is great, the portions are large, and the staff is wonderful. This is a small family owned diner and has been a regular weekend spot for my family.

Authentic food. And open on Christmas! Yumm. Dont come here for sweet and sour and other "non-chinese dishes. Dry bee chow fan is pretty good

One of best Chinese Food in Concord. If you want the Real Chinese (Canton Style) Food, this is the one.
