“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!”
“This is the best Chinese dinning experiences I have ever had; hands down. Food was off the charts. The wine pairing was perfect. The experience was first class.”
“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Bring your dates and loved ones to the BEST mocktails in town! All the unique flavor creation (each drink’s appealing naming in alphabetical order, and only $9) made by the bartender/co-owner Arleo. And Chef Amber runs the all the magic in the kitchen. My favorite dish is “Bone Marrow” - fried king mushroom oyster!
We discovered this non-alcoholic bar through hosting boardgames there, so we’re inspired by the journey of this power couple putting their hearts and souls into running this business and creating their dream community.”
“Authentic, delicious flavors. Good portion size. If you want the spice. They have it and delivery it amazingly. Service was fast, and incredible. A heads up, it is a smaller establishment and it will get filled up quickly during dinner. There is parking in the front, though it is limited.”

“i bring all my friends here this is literally one of my og spots in the 626. get the big mouth pocket and sesame pancake, do not get the green scallion pancake. also don't recommend the sheng jian bao, but highley recommend the big mouth pocket and the black bean noodles zhajiangmian. love the auntie who works here she's always super sweet and takes care of us.”
“This spot is an absolute haven for chili lovers. Every dish comes out glistening, intensely fragrant, and packed with that intoxicating, smoky wok hei. The spice here is authentic, layered, and deliciously persistent—not just gimmick heat, but deep, savory Hunan craftsmanship. Order family-style, bring a crowd, and don't skimp on the rice! Easily one of the top spots in town for serious Chinese regional cuisine.”
“If you order on Uber Eats, the price is exceptional for the quality and quantity of food you get. All the beef choices are top notch as well as the rice and fresh baked fluffy pita bread. The only not as good items are the chicken being a bit bland and the hummus (but that is a problem for most places in LA). Overall great restaurant with tasty food.”

“it was very affordable, only we couldn't resist ordering more because it was all delicious. everything we tried was harmonious. except the egg cheese buldak ramen wrap, although that could have been expected. we ate lunch here, and came back the same day for dinner because it was too good.”

“The service was COMPLETELY unacceptable. An employee was rude, speaking in a language I can’t recognize and started yelling at me simply because I didn't understand what she was trying to say. Why get angry and keep screaming when customers don't understand? This business is located in LA—if an obvious communication barrier happens, staff should try to bridge it instead of continuing to yell in the same language at a confused customer. I can't believe I was treated this way. Do we now need to learn EVERY LANGUAGE ON EARTH just to get basic service?”
“I'm legally blind and I was actually there to visit my cardiologist roughly 6 minute walking distance on the other end of 1st Street. I got myself into a dilemma by buying two dozen of egg tarts which comes in two large pizza size boxes. The young lady who helped me at the store first told me they don't have such a big bag for those boxes, but she obviously considered my convenience so she went to the bag and dig out a large size shopping bag. I guess you can tell how appreciative I was even though those boxes have to go in sideway anyway... It still helped me to hold those boxes in one hand and my white cane on the other.”
“Take it before rob my daughter this time.It's amazing place at a great place. A nice surrounding neighborhood Also , if you wanna take a walk for our movie or get some snacks after”
“Let me just say that Andrew who runs Ohana Brewing Company is an amazing person. It’s clear he has a passion for both brewing and making guests feel welcome. The way he shares his knowledge about the beers and their brewing process adds a personal touch that really enhances the experience. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a chill spot to unwind, Ohana Brewing Co. hits the mark. The space is cozy, and the selection is varied enough to keep things interesting—whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, smooth stouts, or something in between. It’s a perfect local spot to enjoy a drink, relax, and chat with friends or even meet new people. Highly recommend it if you’re in the area!”

“Delicious food and good service.”
“best indian restaurant in Alhambra.”
“went for lunch today, ordered some chillaquillas got home terrible a plate full of chips n green sauce terrible. also ordered a grilled cheese for the grandbaby gpt home literally was a small square of cheese in the middle.of the bread maybe like 2x2 slice. Needless to say I returned for a refund cause I'm not paying top dollar for food I wouldn't even feed my dog. The guy said the owner Rola didn't want to give me a refund but decided too lol n than minus the tax I paid!!!! so ur gonna keep taxes on food I ordered yet I returned the garbage. This burger spot used to b teh business back in the day I will not spend a dime ther ever again!!!”
“I had an incredible meal here today. Everything tasted so fresh and was prepared perfectly.
The tacos were loaded with vibrant toppings and generous portions of meat. I also really enjoyed the tostada bowl, which had such creamy, ripe avocado slices right on top. It is rare to find a spot that pays so much attention to quality. I will definitely be back soon.”
“Drinks were decently priced but it was also happy hour. Atmosphere is great, a bit dark for no live entertainment but the ambiance was nice. The Alice in Wonderland esthetic was cool. No karaoke anymore unfortunately which is why I went but is ripe for some type of entertainment DJ, Comedy, or Karaoke night would set this place off imo. That aside, nice place!”
“This isn't the Taiwanese 永和豆浆 Yong He Dou Jiang you might be expecting. This spot offers a broad menu of various Chinese cuisines. I just tried 豆皮 bean curd (cuisine from Hubei) for the first time. It was an interesting dish with a bean curd and egg mix topping over sticky rice, meat, tiny shrimp, and cilantro. I like the bean curd and egg mixture and want to try my hand at making it at home. 👍”

“The Thursday - Sunday late evening/overnight staff is amazing! I've been coming here pretty much weekly since July 2021 and they have become like family, especially our regular server Lupe. The night manager is cool and when he gets on the stove his food is out of this world! They got a new cook a few months ago and they are great with consistently producing comfort, especially the fries (and I'm VERY picky about my fry consistency).”
“the pizza is ausome been going to Angelo's pizza many years ago and it still the same”
“Mixed tempura was delicious (they gatekeep that tempura dipping sauce like nobody's business). Bento box was tasty (salmon was cooked perfectly). The salmon skin roll was well liked by the wife. Loved the fact that Mikomi had Pacifico Beer on tap!!!
Highly recommend this spot, especially for lunch.”
Takeout Restaurants
“This spot is a local gem! Extremely delicious and authentic Indo food in our neighborhood. We tried the Kwe Tia’s Goreng which is similar to pad see ew and Perkedel which is like a potato fritter, but our favorite was the Nasi Bungkus, which was a sampling of different curries on top of rice paired with fried chicken. It was so delicious, and the sambals on the side were really spicy, which was a nice surprise! The chef was very welcoming and friendly, and there is tons of space in the dining room to sit down and eat. I’ll definitely be coming back for takeout and try the noodle dishes!”

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients”
“everything made to order! i don’t mind waiting 15 min to get something absolutely delicious!!!
i recommend the meat pan fried pancakes the most :-)) everything is so affordable n homemade idk how they stay in business. i think their steam bao is okay tbh. beef noodle soup very good just add some chili oil makes it much better.
soy milk is very smooth and the millet porridge very homey. I will definitely come back and bring more friends!!”

“If you are in the San Gabriel Valley area you must stop here if you want amazing Sashimi. Started with fatty Tuna that melted in my mouth so fresh delicious then moved on to giant Clams (Mirugai) it was sweet & crunchy I could have gone for second order not many sushi restaurants have (Mirugai)The fatty belly Salmon was buttery & the spicy Tuna hand roll sashimi was perfect coz I’m a spicy food addict it was just heavenly for me. Yum yum 🤤 ended with Kumamoto Oyster 🦪 it was so sweet like cotton candy in your mouth made me wanting more which I did order more. Lol 😂 The house hot Sake was good for a cold night paired so well with my amazing Sashimi! Great way to end my Friday night here! Thank you Chef!”
“My wife and I shared a beef burrito, and the Carne Asada salad. The dressing to the salad was really tasty, and the steak was better prepared than a steak I had any fancy restaurant last weekend. The burrito was just simple goodness … not too fancy or over done. This is a family owned business that supports the community. Support them … take the family to lunch or dinner You won’t be disappointed!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“So I think the name has changed and it's called E&J Pinoy BBQ now. And the prices have gone up from the menu that is shown, I only found out when I paid.
Ordered their combo #2 for a party and it was a great amount of food. The chicken teriyaki was super tender and the pork belly was great too except the skin was a little hard. The chicken inasal leg and thigh was good as well! Would try again.”
“「鴻豐尚品」
Originally I was here to park my car and wanted to have lunch at other restaurant nearby. But the sign shows “parking Lot is for customer only”. That’s the reason why I have my lunch here.
I am very pleased with the amazing dim sum and the old-time atmosphere. The portion of food is huge and the price is reasonable. Definitely I’ll come back again!”
“Just had the sunrise breakfast sandwiches & coffee for 6.99 for the 10th time - melted cheese, good amount of egg, perfect crisp & amazing price. It hit the spot so well this time I had to leave them a review. Thanks Ernie’s for making real food and letting me avoid McDonald’s 🤣 PS Call ahead your order for quick in and out”
“I ordered the boneless honey garlic chicken for dinner. It tasted great! There was a good amount of glaze on each piece and the batter was still nice and crunchy even though we had it 30 minutes after picking it up from the store. Best part is it’s mess free and easy to eat because it’s boneless.”
“I love the food my favorite is the linguine clams which is made with a white wine sauce but you can ask for red if you desire. Everywhere you go now a days is expensive but at least portions are large and shareable. It surprises me to read the reviews and see that people enjoyed the Tyson frozen wings they use to serve at Vittoria’s for years. I also would like to note that I love the antipasto salad and it doesn’t have only one meat as I read on one of the reviews.Also everywhere that has delivery service charges more when ordered on the app. Update: they are no longer charging for water. I can say that yes they are short staffed sometimes as well as many other restaurants have been ever since COVID. I really love the service and I will continue to be a customer for many years!! It always amazes me that people can’t see when it’s busy and aren’t understanding.”
“This whole time I thought this place was a strip club 😆. The food especially the nachos the meat is so delicious wow. I recommend this place most definitely 👍🏽”
Cheap Eats
“I had barbacoa tacos and the tacos dorados de barbacoa and both were SO good! I went in twice and the guys that were working we very kind and friendly! Nice vibes all around for El Vaquerito. Thank you!
If I ever come back to visit the area I will definitely stop by again!”
“Been coming here for years. The only spot in the area to not suffer from shrinkflation. The red rice with the steak cubes is my go-to but their hainan chicken and Cornish hen are pretty good too! Service is stellar and the vibes are chill. I'll continue coming here for years!”
“First time trying Chong Yuen Fong Clay Pot Rice in Alhambra. The restaurant is conveniently located at the corner of Garfield and Valley Blvd, and there were plenty of parking spaces available in the lot. Inside, the ambiance is cozy and captures that classic Hong Kong-style cafe vibe with nice wall decor.
We tried the preserved duck and salted fish clay pot rice. While the overall flavor was on point, the preserved duck and salted fish just weren't to my personal taste. However, we absolutely loved the lotus leaf steamed rice with chicken, mushroom, and minced pork! We also opted for the $5 soup add-on; it was loaded with plenty of ingredients, though it arrived a bit bland, so we had to add some salt. To finish the meal, the Portuguese egg tarts were absolutely delicious!
Service here is minimal, as you order via a QR code at the table and pay at the cashier once you finish your meal. Overall, a solid spot with some great highlights.”
“I have been coming here for multiple times for their drinks and so far I love it!
It is a small place for a boba shop but it is a pretty good place to chill when the place is not crowded. The servers are very nice and patient when you are ordering your drinks. The place in general are clean, even with the restroom.
The drinks are fantastic in my opinion, no matter what sweetness level you are going for. My personal favorite/ to-go are the rose cream foam milk tea or formosa ocean. Trust me, I think you will like them if you are a sweet tooth-er or Rose lover. (Good looking drinks for pictures too!)
Try their origanal flavored Formosa Umeyaki too! They are not only pretty for pictures, but crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, specifically when they are freshly made. Great desserts matching with your drinks!”
“Needed something warm and soupy for the rainy day. Find this spot on a whim and I gotta say I'm so dang lucky I decided to eat here. I ordered the rattan noodles and they were deliciously spicy. I usually eat medium to low spice but this was perfect. I'm a new fan!”
“I love 7 Leaves for their consistency and this location is no different. This location is open early in the morning and they have plenty of options that's not just boba tea.
My wife and I love to visit 7 Leaves and our favorites are most certainly the summer mint, oolong milk tea, and their Japanese Matcha. Aside from milk tea and fruit tea options, they have coffee options hence why they open earlier than most boba spots. Another unique part is that 7 Leaves are known for their drive through ordering. This spot has one as well which is great.
Interior is clean and spacious as well, you'll often find people on their devices or lounging around. Very clean and and vibrant overall. Love the consistency of this location as staff is friendly and quick. Drinks are high quality and very much a spot that you can be consistent with.”
“it's one of the place that I'll go for when I want to have dim sum. Food is always good, service is a bit or miss but overall, they are still better than most dim sum places.”
“I was craving Thai food in the area and saw this place as an option. I wasn't sure how it would be but it ended up being really good. Tried a few options and was really surprised how great the red curry tasted. The pad see-ew was also great. The staff was friendly and gave suggestions. The inside area is spacious.”

“My go to order is Kopichino with oat, 25% sugar. Strong and not too sweet. If you want a little dessert that isn’t too sweet, get the Putu Ayu. If you want something sweeter, get the dadar gulung. If you want something savory, get the risoles. There you go. My sister tried to speak Indo to the guys that worked here but I don’t think they understood. That’s alright, coffee is bomb regardless. 😌”
“I only write reviews to places that were exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.
This place was exceptionally good. If you’re craving a burger, highly recommend this place. If you want a fantastic smash patty and crispy fresh fries, GO HERE. The burger was juicy, crispy on the edges (proper Maillard Reaction), good cheese, POTATO BUN (bonus points), and add whatever topping you like. The fries are fresh, oil was clean, and they were the perfect crisp. I actually don’t even know how they got them like that. I can’t do that at home…but that’s beside the point. I wish this was near me but I live in OC. If I am ever in this area, I will 10000000% be making a stop here to eat, even if I’m not hungry.”
“We had an amazing experience at Jumpin Lobster! The food was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The family pack was a fantastic value and had plenty for everyone.
The service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere for enjoying a meal with family and friends.
If you're looking for great seafood, generous portions, and excellent customer service, this is definitely the place to go. We will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommended!”
“A down-home Mexican food experience run by nice women with good kind of spicy steak picado and rice and beans and corn tortillas for a good price. and the people running the very interesting sweet shop that it is inside were kind enough to turn down the loud disco music they were playing.”
“I came here because I heard the rice noodles were their signature dish, and they were definitely good. But for me, the real standouts were the grilled fish, the charcoal BBQ, and the sweet and sour pork (Guo Bao Rou). Those dishes had the authentic flavors I grew up with. Everything tasted freshly made, well-seasoned, and very traditional. If you’re looking for genuine Northeastern Chinese comfort food, this place is absolutely worth a visit.”
“Really enjoyed our meal at California Beef Noodle King! The beef noodle soup was flavorful and comforting, and the noodles had a great texture. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were generous. We came with the family and everyone enjoyed it. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when craving a good bowl of beef noodles!”
“This review has been a long time coming as I've come back multiple times... I love this bakery! The staff here is always welcoming, helpful and gives me the best suggestions when it comes to their seasonal or for a drink I haven't tried. They always have a great vibe going on in here.
Personally their lattes are great and their pastries are so yummy. You can just tell that the bakers put their best work into it. I'm always a sucker for the choco cookie.
Super bummed I couldn't make it for their mango mochi release but it looked so good! Kudos and props to the Re Bakesic team for always caring and acting in the interest of their customers.”
“This place was serene. Although we went on a super hot day eating outdoors was not even an issue. The prices are reasonable and the food was good. The service was a bit slow but we were with family so there was no time wasted. I would definitely return. I was conservative on the rating since I only went once. Hope to be a repeat customer, then if things are consistently quality service I will have no choice but to increase the rating. Great job so far!”
“We ordered the beef hot pot$68?, it comes with some complimentary beef and vegetables, and we order ordered two additional dishes of beef and a noodle each around ?$14? which is reasonable to me. We also ordered some cold dishes.
The chicken cold dish is good not greasy or oily, the meatball in the beef pot taste good, meat is fresh.
Total cost is 169 before tip, but we still have some dishes didn't even put it in Because we are full. Basically, we could of only spent 130 or less for two dudes.”
“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!”
