Always an amazing meal. Seating and parking are limited, but even with a long line we were able to get seats. There are no servers as you pick up your order and sit where a spot is available. If you want an affordable and healthy meal this place is amazing! Seating is outdoors but they have space heaters and covered tables for rainy weather.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

A small place with a lot of character and great content !! We were so thrilled to find so many vegetarian and vegan options . Love that they prepare all their dishes with all organically grown produce Very friendly staff . Suuuuper tasty cookies too ! A cute mostly-covered , heated, self/service dining area . I got the Dan’s Spicy delight. It was NOT SPICY AT ALL. It was creamy, sweet-ish ….not nearly spicy :(. I am pretty sure they forgot to add the spicy ingredient because I can’t imagine anyone might have found that spicy

Charlie Hong Kong has such a cool, laid-back vibe with delicious, fresh food that hits the spot every time. I grabbed a bowl here late in the evening , everything was flavorful, hearty, and full of fresh veggies. The sauces are perfectly balanced, and it’s great knowing the ingredients are organic and healthy. The neon-lit setup gives it that classic Santa Cruz charm too. Perfect place for a quick, satisfying, and feel-good meal!
