“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Sichuan dishes with real numbing heat—mapo tofu and toothpick lamb are standouts. Servers will warn you about spice levels if you ask. Interior is simple and clean. Good for groups willing to share plates. Parking in the plaza can be chaotic at dinner“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing. One of the best noodle soup spots I’ve had in a while. Everything was bold, creamy, and packed with flavor.

Roti Prata: Get
Soft and flakey with just the right amount of crisp on the edges. The curry dip it comes with is rich and fragrant. Honestly could just snack on this all day.

Singapore Laksa: GET
This bowl was ridiculous. So creamy, spicy, and layered with flavor. Had shrimp, tofu, fish cake, corn, and all kinds of toppings. One of those dishes that makes you sit back for a second. It’s that good.

Service was fast and no frills. Menu is huge and has tons of options so I’m definitely coming back to try the rest. Prices are solid for the portion and quality too. This spot deserves all the hype.

“This was my first time trying Xiaolongkan Hot Pot and it won’t be my last! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the ingredients were all fresh. But what really stood out was the excellent service. Our server cookie was incredibly helpful, checking in often to see if we needed anything, and always making sure we were comfortable. They made the experience feel effortless and enjoyable.“

“Food was still as good as I remember
We got Xiao lung baos
Dan dan noodles
Beef noodle soup( hand tossed noodles )
Cucumbers
Beef roll ( lots of cilantro chive and meat!)
Pan friend dumplings“

“delicious and fresh Nice place too.“

“I've been to lot of Phó and let me tell you. This restaurant is so delicious and delivered the best food and drinks especially the coconut signature. I come here for many years and never lost touch in rich Vietnamese flavor. Thank you always making me smile and tummy filled“

“Known for Hainan chicken rice, and it lives up to the hype without feeling “scene-y.” The garlic chili sauce is addicting. Seating is tight, so be ready to wait a few minutes. Staff is efficient and kind. Still feels like a neighborhood staple“

“Definitely, this restaurant totally hits the spot for me. The soup noodles with the tripe & beef, awesome!!! The pan fried buns, pan fried pie, wood ear mushrooms, seaweed salad, pigs ears, tripe & wash those down with a bottle of cold jasmine tea..... My taste buds are having a 🥳🎉🎊💞“

“We came here for a family dinner with a party of eight and ordered both king crab and geoduck. The seafood was impressively fresh and the portions generous. The king crab was flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the geoduck sashimi was clean, crunchy, and refreshing.

Service was attentive and efficient throughout the meal, and for the quality of seafood, the pricing was very reasonable. Great experience overall — would definitely return for another celebration or large gathering.“

“The best dog place in SoCal“

“Food was delicious, and service was great and friendly. Ordered scallion pancake, short ribs and soup dumplings it was plenty of food.“

“todo muy rico y fresco y muy atentos los meseros 💯“

“12.02.23 We were in the area and I googled Filipino food and this one was top three on options to consider. Service was the best - kind, caring, and really nice front counter reps. Plenty of combo options to choose from and pics on the side walls are pretty good help. Not exactly sure how to rate Atmosphere because the restaurant is inside 99 Ranch market. It's pretty clean eating area which is across the order area and past the spacious entrance.“

“Auntie Qiu Kitchen’s Pork XLB definitely hit the spot for my partner and me when we had cravings for XLB in Alhambra, didn’t get to try their crab and pork XLB but we'll have to come back to try it out! I definitely recommend the fried pork chop sticky rice cake, it’s super crispy, savory and the glaze on the pounded crispy rice cake is a great compliment. The server was nice and attentive and the food came out extremely fast!“

“Haruya Ramen is a hidden gem for Japanese food lovers! This cozy spot on Fremont Ave won me over with crispy, juicy Chicken Karaage, flavorful veggie gyoza, and rich, soul-warming miso ramen. I sipped on a nostalgic bubblegum-flavored Ramune and smiled when they brought mini lollipops with the check—because adulting is hard and candy helps.“

“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“

“I am only rating the popcorn chicken Ramen! That is the item I've had 4 times. The restaurant is kinda hidden. If you ever go there, they are right in front of the alhambra carwash and its in a brick building.

The chicken is mild. Medium or hot spice level. Soup is super hot and tasty.

It is quite a treat. You should definitely try this item if its your 1st time. If you are mexican and like spicy like me get medium spice and xtra spice on the side in case you like it very spicy! Will definitely keep going.“

“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).“

“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!“

“the pizza is ausome been going to Angelo's pizza many years ago and it still the same“

“Very kind and friendly staff! Everything was freshly made to order, juicy, and very flavorful. This was also very affordable. The scallion oil noodles, and beef/cilantro dumplings were our standouts but we loves everything we ordered.

We would love to revisit someday when we travel back to this area!“

“This Shakey’s in Alhambra is one of the best they provide great customer service their food is always fresh they have big tvs to watch the games I enjoy going when dodger’s are playing because I get to enjoy a beer“

“Very well run and maitained. The Ramen choices are delicious with lots of options. Try the spicy chicken sandwich too!!“

“great place for an evening date with the wifey... 😎👍“

“Pharos is seriously solid. The fried mushrooms were crispy and delicious—definitely worth trying. The turkey burger was on point too, juicy and packed with flavor.

I snagged a bite of my son’s breakfast burrito (he had it for dinner), and I totally get why it’s a favorite. It was super tasty and hit the spot.

The food is really good, the place is clean, and the service is quick. Plus, it’s owned by a super nice family, which makes it even better. Pharos is a spot I’ll definitely be coming back to.“

“The food was wonderful and the service was ok, but I love it anyways and I recommend going here“

“Delicious food and good service.“

“My go-to Thai restaurant in SGV! Food is authentic Thai, and great service (accommodated to different taste preferences-more sour, less spicy, etc). As a Thai, I can testify that their food has authentic flavors. We usually order Pad Seew & mango sticky rice. Their salty garlic fried shrimps are amazing also. It’s not a big place so it could get crowded during lunch and dinner times.“

“The food is standard burger/ Mexican fare. The price for each item in 2025 is under $10 with certain exceptions in regards to meals and dinner plates. There is a small parking lot that is associated with Ernie's burgers and is free. The food is good for the price but if you expect good food I would recommend other locations.

I had the patty melt, tuna melt and chili fries with cheese:

The Patty Melt ($8 approx.) is decent but has the issue of using a bad cheese for patty melts and poor order. The cheese adhered to the bread as opposed to the patties which leads to hard bread and less flavorful patties. The choice of cheese was American cheese which doesn't work well for Patty Melts, had they chosen a Cheddar or Swiss cheese the overall melt would have been better. Aside from those issues the bread was toasted nicely and there was a small amount of onions (partly caramelized)

The Tuna Melt($7-8) was good for it's price, similar to the patty melt the bread was toasted nicely, the cheese was American Cheese and would have been better if they had chosen another type of cheese. The Tuna mix was a bit of a mess but decent. The pros were that it was light on mayo, resulting in a dryer tuna mix for those who prefer such things. The cons were the inconsistencies in flavor namely the random bites of acidity. If the acidity was more uniform and spread out so each bite had a nice little acidic bite it would be fine. However, as it was, there were random dry but good parts not overpowered by the cheese and random spots where all you could taste was what I assumed was vinegar.

Lastly the chili fries with cheese, this was a decent option but nothing standout, if you want chili cheese fries i'd advise you to seek other restaurants. The issues I had were the fries were crispy to and extent but served with chili that lack impact. As a sloppy mess to finish after your meal after the fries have soaked in chili it's fine. However, when eaten as it was served the fries were a bit too crispy and didn't absorb any of the chili's flavor even if it didn't have much to begin with.

All in all, if you want a quick cheap bite to eat, Ernie's burgers works great for a quick and cheap bite, but if you want flavor seek other establishments. Whilst Ernie's is not bad it certainly doesn't hold up to the other nearby establishments in terms of flavor.“

“Me and my mom came here. As an international student from China I say that this is authentic Xinjiang-Central Asian food.

The waitress was efficient and friendly, except that don't expect Chinese language service here.“

“We had a large party and they were able to accommodate us. The food was delicious! The best salt and pepper pork chops and string beans I've had. The steamed flounder was also very good, and so was the whole catfish with garlic sauce. We got 12 or 13 dishes, and these were definitely the faves of the group. It's an older building, but we went for the food, so it didn't bother us. 100% recommend!“

“We arrived at this restaurant for a meeting. my friend recommended this place. Well, it was very nice. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we felt fantastic. The food was just great. We loved this restaurant very much and we will definitely return to this restaurant. we highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“I was a doorman to one of the Main Street bars, and customers would always tell me to go checkout Jay Dee's. So I finally did after 2 years. It's a cool place to hang out and have a drink. Drinks are reasonable, and it's a cash only bar. Customers are friendly too, & no haters. Has pool tables and darts. No, dj, but they have a jukebox playing cool music. Bartenders are friendly and treat everyone like family. I would go back 😊👍🍻🥂“

“Asian bakeries are amazing me since I discovered them. Good quality pastry; cakes; good tea; polite staff. Good pricing. Check this place out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.“

“Our food was exceptionally delicious! Wonderful flavors and delicious cucumber mint agua fresca too! Also fun, cozy atmosphere inside too. You can tell when you’re there it’s a very popular eatery, and for good reason! I’ve been there twice in as many weeks and I can’t wait to go again! 😁“

“Delicious!!! Best Pizza in LA. Mimosas are super yummy I recommend the guava mimosa and brunch on a Sunday is a must!! Dog friendly and Morty also loves the pepperoni.“
