“Every time we visit the Chino Hills Store #50, Lorraine has been attentive, friendly, and professional. She always greets us with a big smile, and it helps to put a positive attitude in everyone who walks in. Nick is also a great asset to your company.”
“10/10 spot with tasty burgers and big beers and service. The only reason I make the trip from Alhambra to chino. Everything you could want in this clean sports bar.”
“Food is delicious 😋 and service is great 😊 we are going back again soon 😃”
“An absolute carnivore paradise!
The quality of the Wagyu beef here is outstanding. Every cut was incredibly tender, juicy, and literally melted in my mouth. The marbling on the beef was beautiful. If you love high-quality meat, this place is heaven. Highly recommended!”

“I'm not someone who craves American food every day, but every now and then, nothing satisfies quite like a great crafted burger.
Back in the 1990s, neighborhood burger joints were everywhere. Every town seemed to have its own local favorite, where burgers were grilled to order with unmistakable character. Those places made crafted burgers one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. Unfortunately, as national chains steadily expanded over the past two decades, many of those independent burger shops quietly disappeared. Finding a true old-school burger joint today feels almost like searching for a hidden treasure.
With that nostalgia in mind, I visited The Stand hoping to rediscover some of that magic. We ordered the restaurant's Stand Burger, the Ultimate Egg Burger, and the Chinese Chicken Chop Salad.
Let's start with the positives. The ingredients were fresh, the presentation was appealing, and everything was prepared with care. The Chinese Chicken Chop Salad was particularly enjoyable, offering crisp vegetables, well-seasoned chicken, and a balanced dressing that made it more than just a side dish.
The burgers, however, left me wanting just a little more.
As someone who has very high expectations for crafted burgers, I'm looking for that unforgettable first bite—the smoky aroma from the grill, the rich beef flavor that fills your mouth, and a juicy patty with enough personality to stand on its own. While both burgers were certainly well above typical fast-food standards, they didn't quite deliver the depth of flavor or distinctive character I associate with truly exceptional crafted burgers.
To be clear, this isn't a criticism of quality. These are good burgers, and they're unquestionably a step above the mass-produced offerings of traditional fast-food chains. But for me, they still carry a level of consistency and polish that feels closer to a well-executed franchise concept than to a neighborhood burger shop with its own unique identity.
Of course, taste is deeply personal. My expectations are shaped by years of searching for those unforgettable local burger joints that seem to be disappearing from the American dining landscape. Someone looking for a fresh, satisfying, and consistently well-made burger will likely leave very happy. Those chasing the nostalgic, one-of-a-kind flavor of a classic independent burger stand, however, may come away wishing for just a bit more soul.
In the end, The Stand succeeds as a polished, reliable modern burger restaurant. It simply didn't rekindle the memories of the handcrafted burgers I grew up loving—and perhaps that's less a reflection of The Stand than of how rare those old neighborhood burger shops have become.”
“The Italian food here is so delicious and authentic! Our favorites were the roasted porchetta pinsa, shrimp scampi and gnocchi al ragu. The affogato was perfect on a hot day and the tiramisu and cannoli were great sweet treats. The staff is super friendly, the interior is very cute, and there is seating inside and outside. This is such a great spot to have at the Chino Hills Shoppes. Definitely visit when you are in the area!”
“The staff is super friendly and gave us great recommendations for food and sauces. The food came out fast and all tasted great. Everything is super clean and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend. We had sliders and mozzarella stix, everything was fresh and tasted great!”
“Best tacos in Chino Hills! Our favorites are the breaded fish tacos ($2.99 every Wednesday) and carne asada tacos ($2.99 every Tuesday), fish and chips, and the Ensenada Surf & Turf Burrito! Their staff is very nice and friendly. Their green sauce and chili peppers are awesome with the tacos and their white sauce are excellent with the fish and chips. We come here almost every week. Hilda (cashier) is so so friendly and accommodating.”
“We recently found this gem of a place and were warmly welcomed and constantly attended to. Now, mind you, this was on a Monday morning at 9:30am when most people are working; however, people should realize that weekends are much busier times for dining and plan accordingly! The atmosphere was awesome, warm and welcoming. We were attended to by no less than 4 different people making sure we were cared for; the food was very fresh (they have vegan options too) and the coffee was yum. When I heard the name of this place, I knew it would be fantastic; check it out and see what you think.”
“The food was genuinely life changing I plan on coming here often service took a minute or two however its very much worth the wait the rice is very good none of it was dry or half baked rice was also seasoned well the rolls themselves are very thick rolls with alot of filling the drinks were also good the soda tasts better then at other restaurants”
“Went there for breakfast on Saturday early (8:30) to beat the rush. Only waited 20 minutes. Had belly to belly, creme brulee french toast. avocado toast, and two orders of the berry cloud pancakes. For drinks we had classic coffee, Pandan latte, Spanish latte, and Cookie? latte. Both drinks and food were great. Only complaint is that we order the 2nd pancake a few minutes late and it didn't arrive till most of us were finished. Be warned .. get your orders in for the cloud pancakes early. It will take 20-30 minutes to arrive.”

“I discovered Chaos Bubble Shoppe through the Too Good to Go app.,it is incredible that I get THREE beverages for $6. I also began sampling the rice balls and have two more to go to have tried them all. Delicious!! I got a signature tea (today was roasted oolong tea, toffee is my favorite), a milk tea with boba (today was toasted oolong milk tea) and one of my favorite fruit teas with boba, cactus passion tea. I have tried at least 20 different drinks and enjoyed all of them. The staff is friendly and professional, worth a stop whether you just want a drink or some delicious food. Highly recommend!! Truly a hidden gem!!”

“Went in for some takeout and the staff were so friendly. Let us try juices to see what we'd like. I went with balanced and it was super good. I also had the spicy crab toast and it did not disappoint. Light, flavorful, but still filling. Great way to start my day, good service and staff, clean facility. Super happy I gave it a try while in town.”
“I was really hyped about this place opening to add to the variety of Korean food around Chino Hills. Soonheene is very popular in South Korea which led me to add this place to my must try list of restaurants, they're known for their amazing street food and it didn't disappoint at all.
Staff were incredibly quick, attentive, and were very friendly in all aspects. Parking is plentiful, clean restroom, and a moderate amount of seating inside the restaurant. The interior is well maintained and just has good vibes when entering, there's also a TV on the wall that plays many variety shows to express just how popular this place is in South Korea.
1. We ordered their signature Tteokbokki and it comes in a decent amount of portions, a great shareable dish and very flavorful when it comes to the mix of sauce, rice cake, and fish cake. There's also a rose version which I also recommend. The Tteokbokki were savory and also not hard to crunch on, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable and addicting.
2. Another must try item is the Mayak Gimbap, comes in 8 pieces, another shareable dish. It's also very well made, with a mix of meat and vegetables, a decent appetizer to the main course.
3. The Oden Fish Cake Soup is also a classic street food signature dish to try. Highly recommend if you're a fan of fish cake, comes in a stick form which is a easy pick-me-up type food. Not too salty and is flavorful as well.
4. The Roasted Kimchi Pork Belly was the main dish we had as a shareable. I cannot fathom how well made this dish is made. The pork belly is super savory, chewy, and flavorful, mixes well with all the side garnishes and sauces.
Overall, Soonheene is definitely a good place for many occasions, dates, take out, and moderate size groups.
Decent prices for amazing quality food. They will always be my go to spot for amazing South Korean street food.”

“Great food and even better price! I original went next door to get a hot chicken burrito but just for the burrito no side or drink was $17!!! I couldn’t justify it so I walked in here and had an amazing 2 item combo for $12 flat. The tangerine chicken was delicious normally order the unbreaded chicken items from places like this because sometimes it can be too much but the breading on this chicken was very little and had a great peppery taste. The bbq pork was my favorite I love that they served it sliced thin I don’t like when other places serve the huge chunks of meat here it’s sliced thin and it’s good quality. Left super full and satisfied they gave me a punch card for returning customers buy 10 combos Bs and get one free which is a nice gesture considering nobody else I’ve tried has done this. Definitely will be returning when I’m in the area. I gave the atmosphere 4 out of 5 cuz it was warm in there. Other than that great spot!”
“Ordered takeout during the holidays and the food was ready to go at the agreed upon time. The staff were very thoughtful and kept the fried dish uncovered in the to-go bag to maintain the crispiness. After the car ride home, it was still crispy and yummy. Overall the food was pretty good and a hit with most of the people. Some of the dishes were a bit salty, but that was expected from this type of establishment.”
“Our experience at happy together, restaurant was a very good one. All the food that we ordered was very good and we enjoy them all. The Singapore style noodles were absolutely delight with a slight of a curry flavor. The flat rice noodles with the beef were very very good. The chicken feet. We enjoyed immensely that dumplings that we had. We enjoyed a very very much. We wish we would’ve ordered the pork and the other meat items, but we just could only eat so much. We were able to get seat right away. The service was nice there, easy to reach and take care of us. We will definitely return many many times here for the authentic, and I mean very authentic flavor and taste.”
“First time visiting Luchador on May 4th and had a great time. The service and the beer was great, the music by DJ Andy O was vibing and the food was good. I highly recommend the guacamole and chips.”
“Absolutely loved this place! The food at Seoul Tofu & Grill is pure comfort food. The soup was piping hot, flavorful, and hit the spot perfectly. Great service and cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!”

“The food is good....but the service cloud be more friendly. Its the only restaurant that I have been to that does not give out free water! I think that is outrageous and I probably will not be coming back. The cashier said their water dispenser was broken....fix it lady!”
“I come to this sushi spot all the time it’s one of my favorites. The food is always delicious, I highly recommend however today when I came to pick up my order, Kay was rude And said little to nothing to me while I was paying, and picking up my order, didn’t even make eye contact with me And just handed me my receipt. It’s very offputting as I come here all the time and everyone is usually extremely friendly.”
“I have been craving to try boat noodle soup ($15.95) since I've seen it online. It is a blood-based soup so it's a dark brown but the taste is not noticeable. It comes with thin noodles, sliced beef, pork meatballs, green onions, pork rinds, Thai basil, and cilantro. They do have a Thai level of spicy and they do warn that they do not to re-makes of dishes.
I also got their pork jerky which came with a side of spicy fish sauce dip.
The staff is nice and the place is clean.”
“Came here last Saturday with my husband, and everything was delicious! My favorite was the hot honey peperoni pizza, which I've been craving. We also order the wings and they we're so flavorful. We also order the antipasti which my husband liked and he's not a fan of salads. So that says a lot.”

“Many gluten and dairy free options, didn’t get sick from eating here. Orange chicken was SO good!! The lady we spoke to was super knowledgeable about the menu and our allergies. Gluten free stuff is made to order- avoiding cross contamination in the bins. Will be back!”
“The best fried chicken I’ve ever had, but I’m not convinced when you order a whole chicken that you really get a whole chicken because my wife and I cannot eat a whole chicken from anywhere else but we can eat the whole chicken from BBQ chicken… puzzling. I don’t really understand it.”
“Julian rocks! He professionally helped this senior navigate the 7Leaves application and informed me of the different drink varieties. The House Coffee is my go to beverage and it was delivered in less than 5 minutes. We'll be back and try some of Julian's recommendations the next time we come here.”
“Easily best food in Chino Hills, such a good option for mediterranean and so worth the price. Very underrated and fresh meat with little wait time. The garlic sauce is to die for! My favorite is the chicken shawarma plate with two free sides: pickled beet salad and cucumbers yogurt salad.”
“Great service and the food is amazing. A must try if you're in the chino hills area. We'll definitely come back and continue to refer. Baked mussels and dragon roll are the favorite for me.”

“Changan is one of my favorite go-to spots in Chino Hills. The food always comes out quickly, and everything I’ve tried is packed with incredible flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices are unbeatable. They open early with a wide variety of authentic Chinese breakfast items, and their lunch and dinner menu offers everything from skewers and noodles to spicy mixed vegetables and dumplings. My family and I always leave completely satisfied after dining here!”
“Better than any other boiling crab style of restaurant. The quality of the ingredients they use and the way they cook it is what I feel set them apart from the rest of the boiler style restaurants. The owner is always here and is one of the cooks and you can tell how much he cares about his food. I recommend trying it and believe me you will not regret it.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Gen Korean BBQ is one of my favorite places to enjoy Korean BBQ. The price is reasonable, the meat is always fresh, and I find myself coming back regularly whenever I’m craving good beef.
One thing I especially appreciate is that they upgraded their chopsticks. They’re much more comfortable to use and don’t have the rough edges or splinters that some disposable chopsticks have. It’s a small detail, but it definitely improves the dining experience.
The only area that could use some improvement is the lunch service speed. Food can take a little longer to arrive during busy hours, but it’s understandable when a single server is handling a large number of tables. Hopefully they can schedule a few more staff members during lunch rushes to help speed things up.
Overall, great value, quality food, and a restaurant I will continue to visit.”
“We stopped by for lunch on a Wednesday. I had the Albacore tuna sandwich with mixed greens. My companions had the Chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. To drink I tried the Chai Latte. Everything was fresh and delicious. The pumpkin muffin was amazing. The staff was extremely friendly. We will be back soon.”

“Our second time here n it hit the spot again! We ordered the same plates bc we enjoyed them so much the first time , but definitely want to explore the menu more . We ordered the orange chicken and it’s my favorite from any other orange chicken I’ve had. It has fresh orange peel , spicy dry chilis , and the batter is light . The wok fried green beans have a delicious salty and garlic seasoning , soo yum. The steamed pork dumplings are most likely made in house- they are juicy and fresh . It’s a family run spot , they are very sweet. We appreciate them and their cooking!!”
