“I placed my order and paid and I sat down and was waiting for my spingles to be cooked and they forgot all about me. He brought the spring rolls out, put them in the dish, handed some out to some other customers and didn't bring over my order to me.

There’s a great variety of restaurants and cafes, each with its own unique vibe, and the food quality is excellent—definitely satisfying.

The quality of the meats was very good, the tomato broth was our personal favorite, and we all really liked the sauce bar! It was their first time having any kind of hot pot and they really enjoyed themselves. We also did get the hand pulled noodle (it was great 😃👍🏻) and our waiter Siying was so helpful and attentive!! She's great!“

“Super yummy… family favorite! I love the string beans and the fried hunan spicy pork! The service might vary because we are frequent customers but they are always kind and welcoming! The interior is pretty standard, didn’t really notice anything glaring the many times i’ve been here.“

“I've tried Hainan chicken all my life, and this one is special. Portions are very generous. The chicken is very tender and cooked to perfection. The rice is incredible even it's just rice. But they Cook the rice in a way that's not very greasy like other places. Kind of dry and tasty.
We also tried the potato noodles since it's highly rated with other reviews. We ended up taking to go since it was just too much food for 2 is us.
Be careful online shows Xin Wang restaurant but the actual sign in front says Ana Wang Hainan Chicken. But it is the same. Don't know why.
Not too many pictures here to take since they're all over online already. Anyhow, great food, simple dining experience. Nothing fancy. You definitely should give it a try.“

“I'm giving them 5 stars for the quality and taste of their signature offering --- lobster! Ours was huge and expensive, but we allowed ourselves this luxury to satisfy our craving. Definitely worth our visit after a morning spent walking around Ikea. A friend of ours told us about this place a while back but we waited a long time to try them out. It was worth it. We had the lobster prepared their house special way! It came out of the kitchen quickly, perfectly seasoned and stir-fried. We ate it with some ong choy sauteed in garlic and some rice. The lobster proved too much for 2 people, but we didn't mind taking the rest home. Next time, we will definitely try their other dishes.“

“The food is amazing! Such a selection of great flavors. Dim sum is on point and the Teddy bear iced coffee is a perfect finish to a great meal.“

“Best place around my family has been going there for about 20 years“

“The duck had this sweet caramel taste that was off putting. They served it with pancakes which we were happy with. But the green beans and the salt & pepper shrimp were good.

There’s nice light fixtures and wallpaper. Lively atmosphere without being overwhelming. The servers were nice. We just had to ask again for our bowl of rice that we had ordered.“

“Oh my god. Best asian food I’ve ever had. We got the chicken chili dumplings and shrimp and pork chili dumplings (amazing), beef & broccoli (perfect amount of beef to broccoli ratio), orange chicken (perfectly fried pieces) & the hot & spicy fried rice, (best I’ve ever had).

“We discovered this local gem and decided to try it. They did not disappoint. Their noodle had a good chew/texture in the beef brisket noodle soup. Sesame noodles had good flavor and adequate amount of sauce. The XLB was flavorful and juicy and same with the pork pot sticker. Garlic bok choy also well good along with the popcorn chicken. We had a great experience and would recommend this place to anyone looking authentic noodles and dumpling in the area.“

“The food was so good and the employees were so nice. I cannot stress about how much I’ve enjoyed my experience at that place. The price was very fair and they were extremely generous with their portions. The taste was very authentic, it tasted like it came from one of those five star seafood restaurants! If I can rate it higher I would rate it higher!“

Fried rice is delicious
Fried dumplings are delicious
Hot and sour soup is delicious
Beef burrito is delicious
Add raw chili?️even better?“

“It is nice Chinese restaurant, located in Valley Boulevard area of City of Industry. I have read good reviews, about this restaurant. So, one day, after work, in May of 2024, I decided to grab my dinner at this establishment. When I came, there was ample of space, to sit down, and enjoy a meal. Of course, my visit was in the middle of the week. In addition, the staff were helpful and attentive. They also recommended certain meals to try out. Those meals were well-made, and in timely manner. At the same time, they were delicious. Of course, the prices, too, were not on the expensive side. So, if anyone is in City of Industry or La Puente area, I would recommend to stop by this restaurant. It is located at Rhino Plaza shopping area.“

“This is the best rice noodle I have eaten in the United States. The ones in the Bay Area are not as delicious as this one. The crispy skin is super fragrant. The rice noodles are extremely soft but not chewy. The other noodles are either hard or broken. I will go there again before returning to the Bay Area. once“

“Braised beef noodle soup with all the veg. Normal noodles and spicy. Imma gonna order that next visit. I ordered the above except medium spice level. See below.“

“They used to be New Wok on Peck Rd next to the dealership in the shopping center! They are the best Wok in El Monte! I almost cried after eating their food. We tried other Woks from 5 different cities, NONE of them compare! Have been a customer since I was a kid! So happy they are reopen! It’s our first visit to their new location.

Their rice in this visit was a bit too salty and taste slightly different too. But, their signature chow mein is SO good! No other place compares! Their egg roles are also delicious too! Their food quantity is just as big too! You really get your bang for your buck:

2 combo is like $10-$11 and the 3 combo is $12.49ish.

They used to have vegetarian/pescatarian options, but not anymore. I hope they have more veggie and seafood options!“

“Fantastic 10-course Peking Duck banquet for 10 people at an unbeatable price of $288.95! The duck was expertly prepared across three dishes, with the wrap being a standout (we requested extra wraps). Other highlights included the shrimp, eel & sticky rice, and fillet mignon. However, the real showstoppers were the giant steamed fish and dessert soup with rice balls, which stole the show with the group.

Service and ambiance were on par with a traditional Chinese restaurant. A reservation is a must, and 8-10 people is the ideal group size to take advantage of these banquets. Worth noting: they seem to have set seating times to ensure perfectly roasted ducks.

We'll definitely be back – the drive may be over an hour, but it's worth it for this incredible food experience.“

“Let's get to the point: BEST LAMB SOUP EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. ? Don't get me wrong, the lamb dumplings and the meat pies are both freaking excellent, but the soup just takes it to a whole next level. It's amazingly savory and flavorful and you can really taste the quality lamb and all that lamb flavor in the broth itself. ?

There is a full sauce bar where you can make sauces for your soup or your dumplings. The sauce bar also has complimentary soup broth for you to have with your meal or refill your soup, (though this is a much watered down version of the real entree soup item.) They also give out complimentary milk tea, edamame, and snack jerky for the table. We also got complimentary milk tea while you wait, as the line can be long during peak hours, (though it does move fast.) So much free stuff! ?

My friend who is from Inner Mongolia was the one that took me here, and even she was impressed and said this is the closest thing to the food from her hometown. ?

This was such a great experience and the food was so freaking good that this has become a destination spot whenever I can make it out here to Rowland Heights! ?“

“Long story but me and my friends needed to eat really fast because we had to be somewhere and because of the rush we were being a bit confusing but the employee there was still very chill about it and had amazing customer service. Our group as a whole ordered a bunch of side dishes and one main dish but the food still came out in a jiffy fresh, tasty, and hot. I feel really bad because I didn’t give a tip for how well of a job they did since we were in such a rush but I wanted to leave a review on how good this place is.“

“Good food, casual, great location and convenient.“

“Ordered house noodle, Hainan chicken, fried fish cake, and lamb skewers. The pickled vegetables was as perfect as it comes and was provided generously and consumed in its entirety. Did not disappoint. First visit ever. Will be back to try everything on the menu. Yes, it is that good.“

“This place is super clean! Not that feeling of greasy oil over coating the entire restaurant. The tables were very very clean! And hand sanitizer everywhere!

We've been here many times over past two years most excellent service!

We ordered

MSG warning. I did not feel it then but about half hour after I started to get an MSG headache. I do have sensitivity—I should have asked but forgot bc many places I have eaten recently do not use.

Chef special Walnut chicken. Superb 5/5
The batter coating was light. No oily greasy feeling or oil absorbed into batter. The honey mayo dressing was also perfect light

Mongolian beef. My husband gave it 4, me 3 stars. Because it was not really Mongolian beef. The correct name would be black pepper beef. It did not taste like Mongolian beef

Kung pao chicken 3 stars was not as good. It was passable. The chicken seemed like it was lightly coated in cornstarch then fried. But it was fried a bit too long bc chi he was very dry. Also the sauce was not great. Tasted also a bit in the burnt side. I like smoky but burnt not great. See pic. I like tre chicken more lightly cooked so it’s still a bit soft and juicy. Sauce also too burnt

We had ordered sesame chicken on a bed orange slices do taste s little like orange chicken. Delicious 4.5/5 stars

Rice better this time (our 4th)“

“What can I say, the food there is excellent. All the plates are affordable and you get a lot of food (tastes so yummy). The staff are polite, and respectful and the chefs are excellent. If you want some delicious Chinese Food or Hawaiian Grill, I highly recommend this establishment to everybody.“

“I’m going to be honest. I have no idea how this place doesn’t have a line out the door every time we go there. But there food is amazing, the prices are unheard of, we feel guilty after we eat there and see the bill. So we make sure to tip well. Hands down one of our favorite dumpling places to eat at.“

“What an amazing dining experience! The service here was fantastic—our server was friendly, attentive, and made excellent suggestions. The food was divine, especially the dumplings, which were plump and flavorful. The Szechuan chicken had the right amount of spice without being overwhelming. The ambiance was just right—elegant yet cozy, with a mix of traditional Chinese elements and modern touches. I loved the soothing music and the soft lighting. This is definitely my go-to place for great Chinese food!“

“I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times, and the food quality has stayed consistently good over time. The prices aren’t exactly cheap, but the portions are generous. For Los Angeles, their rice noodle rolls are definitely among the better ones you can find. That said, a word of caution—always try to park your car somewhere visible, and never leave any valuables inside. Otherwise, your window—or your belongings—might be gone when you get back. This goes for any nearby parking spots too. Be careful.“

“I've been eating there & Take out about 25years. Never had any issues , with the owner or staff. Sometimes a bit hard to understand. Not a problem. Prices are right the food is great. If your hungry & in El Monte & in the mood for Chinese. You can't miss. Really.“

“Very yummy and filling, this food can last you 3 lunches. The pork was nice and had a subdued sweetness that was pleasant to eat; the orange chicken was loud and sweet, both of which were very good. Not to mention the chowmein and fried rice too, were enjoyable to eat. I’ll definitely be coming here again for a consistent meal that’ll sustain me.“

“Best pinoy fast food. Hot Taho!“

“I have also eaten at many barbecue restaurants. The ingredients in this barbecue restaurant are very fresh and taste good. Both meat and vegetables are grilled to perfection. The environment shows that the boss is very attentive and the service is very considerate. The price is reasonable and cost-effective. I recommend it to friends who like barbecue.“

“I was born and raised in Guangzhou, personally, I think this is the rice roller that’s closest to what I had when I grew up, taste and texture wise. I always order two plates of pork rice rollers. I can imagine if I live around the area, I would come daily for it.“

“Simple Taiwanese lunch bentos, generally $11 each (since March 2024 I believe), cash only. Check the Facebook page for the daily menu. There is one option each for chicken, pork, or fish. Additionally, I believe you can call in ahead of time to order a fried pork chop (no walk-in orders for that). Each bento comes with a small soup. Flavors are on the lighter side; if you prefer stronger flavors, you might not enjoy these bentos.“

“delicious food, great customer service, drinks are also great“

“Dined in today. Highly recommended. This restaurant was first established in 1931 (almost 1 century ago!!) Fantastic food and very hygienic! I knew the business owner and his wife for years, and they are all germophobes (me too. That is why I'm so serious about hygiene in restaurants!) Xiao Long Bao, Won Ton, and BBQ ribs are all must-tries!!!“

“I order barbecue pork fried noodles, it was so tasty, definitely I will come back .thank you for the good food and the service .“

“MIAN is such a great spot! We got the pork rib noodle soup and pork dumplings, and both were really good. The ribs were super tender, the broth had great flavor without being too greasy, and I love that they pack the noodles and soup separately so the noodles don’t get soggy. The dumplings were juicy and the sweet/spicy dipping sauce was spot on—not too spicy for the kids either.

The place is clean and chill, and the service was quick and friendly. Prices are super reasonable, which is always a win when eating out with the family.

Overall, it’s an easy, tasty meal that everyone enjoyed. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommend it to friends and family.“

“Best duck in the Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Chino Hills area. We always order duck served 3 ways - soup, sliced peking duck with thin wrap and green onions, and deep fried duck bones. While you’re there get some of the crispy pork belly too .“
