About

Honeymoon Cafe — chinese in Uptown worth a stop for the Crab Rangoon. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. Rooted in technique and tradition throughout. Easy on the wallet. "The portions are perfect and the service was amazing" — Kelsie

A hole in the wall family-owned restaurant right off the Argyle red line.
— Jimmy Le

CRAB RAGOONS- soooooooo goood 10/10 Vegetable stir fry- extremely bland and tasteless.
— Nikolette Manna

Giving two instead of 1 because the service was OK and it might be just the dish I got, but the chow fun was absolutely horrible.

What 40+ diners say about Honeymoon Cafe

Tasty food + great prices and wonderful service! The food was super fresh and delicious. We ordered the salt and pepper tofu (not spicy at all) and the salt and pepper pork (little to no spice) and the Singaporean noodles. If you want authentic Chinese food this is the best spot to go! The portions are perfect and the service was amazing.

“Honeymoon cafe is our go-to place for takeout whenever we want Chinese food for lunch or dinner.”

Honeymoon cafe is our go-to place for takeout whenever we want Chinese food for lunch or dinner. The food is amazingly delicious. The Salt and Pepper Japanese Tofu is one of our favorites. We have only dined a few times since opening due to limited tables, and parking in Argyle sucks, even for pick-up. I'm surprised they haven't relocated to a better location in the area since the restaurant has been well established. The restaurant hours is incorrect on the menu, but on Google is correct.

Overall 4 stars Environment 4 stars Food 4.5 stars Staff 4.5 stars A small restaurant that satisfy my craves for somewhat authentic Chinese food. Different style from those spicy hot Chinese restaurants but it has its cooking style (Cantonese I guess) that I can enjoy.

“I recently ordered from HoneyMoon through Uber Eats and was extremely disappointed with my experience.”

I recently ordered from HoneyMoon through Uber Eats and was extremely disappointed with my experience. I asked the driver if they could get me a small chili sauce on the side. To my surprise, the driver informed me that the restaurant only offers a large size and it is not free, which is just ridiculous. I've dined at numerous Chinese restaurants before, and they’re always accommodating when it comes to extra sauces. Requiring customers to purchase a larger size just to satisfy a simple request feels inconsiderate and greedy. As a long-time customer, this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. Shame on you, HoneyMoon. I won’t be ordering from you again!

Went with a group of 4, ordered 7 dishes, everything was excellent. Highly recommend fried tofu and salted egg shrimp.

“I just ordered from this café through UberEats.”

I just ordered from this café through UberEats. Actually, this is my third or fourth time trying their food, and every single time it’s absolutely incredible. The dishes are unbelievably delicious, the portions are generous, the ingredients are always fresh, the prices are reasonable, and the menu is very diverse. This might be the best Asian food I’ve ever had in my life.

“This is a true gem in the neighborhood.”

This is a true gem in the neighborhood. It's almost a shame to describe the pricing as "reasonable" since I'm always shocked by the value for money (the Lobster special is one of the best bargains in the city!) The food always comes out piping hot and the vegetables and proteins always taste extremely fresh. Even American-Chinese classics, not exactly famous for their fresh flavors, like General Tso's chicken, have punchy fresh ginger flavor and perfectly crisp-tender broccoli. The friendly, quick, and welcoming service matches the high quality of the cooking.

“My favorite Chinese restaurant.”

My favorite Chinese restaurant! Hot fresh food served by the owners to your table. Not to mention great prices! I’ll be coming back again and again for lobster!
