“Really nice hole in the wall place for some delicious dumplings and noodles.Very fair pricing on their whole menu.Make sure to get the garlic spicy noodles and the chili wontons. The chili oil they use has an amazing depth of flavor and I end up using it for all the other dumplings that I end up ordering (xlb, pan fried dumplings, etc).Parking: Huge lot with even more parking on the side of the property that never seems to get filled“
“Finally got to try Fennel Bistro during my lunch work hours and it was very satisfying. The meats were cooked deliciously and the flavors were spot on. The clay rice was crispy and well flavored. The meat to rice ratio was perfect for my preference. The place is simplistic and clean. Random, but it was fun to see the steam rise from the clay pots every so often inside, and it feels like a huge humidifier. No issues at all with the service, our waitress was very kind to explain how to pick out and order the clay pot combos.“
“I came here and ordered party trays for my family Potluck and I must say their food and service was excellent. Peking duck was fresh and flavorful. Green beans, fried rice, chow mein was a hit. Their sesame bread was delicious. Steve, the manager was very helpful took my order and staff was nice enough to help me carry out the food to my car. Honestly it's the simplest things like that now days matters because Service does matter. Definitely coming back here again to dine in.“
“We were looking for a dim sum place and after a quick read through of reviews I thought this place had some. Well there was like 5 things. We ordered the chicken feet and it was pretty good. The rest were like actual authentic Chinese food (that you probably will need an acquired taste for) so unless you feel adventurous this isn’t your typical Chinese fare.I gave four stars because food wasn’t very hot although served pretty speedily. Portions were good too. The environment was ok, like a mom and pop restaurant with limited seating which is what I’d go for quiet, quick bite while watching some cdrama.. it’s just that this type of Chinese food isn’t my thing.“
“Good personal hotpot place. Good price to permanent ratio. Pretty fast. The soups were all nice and drinkable. Even the spiciest level was not that spicy. Lots of veggies and meats to choose from. All tasted pretty fresh. If I were in the area I would come again if I have a craving for hotpot.“
“The food and service have improved significantly since we dined in 2 years ago. Everything we ordered, from combination fried rice, sausage rice to joy pot, were excellent and big portions. Milk tea is consistently good and tastes like authentic tea not some fake powdery stuff. Staff were great and food came out quickly. We will visit there more often.“
“We loved this restaurant, service, and their foods! Special offer when your order 5 dishes, you will get the 5th one on the house. 10 dishes, then you get 2 dishes free! Friendly staff! You can also call in to make a reservation over the phone.“
“We usually come here for a pre New Year's lunch. The duck needs to be pre-ordered. With 4 adults, it's easy to go through 2 duck orders.Everything has duck flavor in here. The bean sprouts with duck meat tastes like it was also cooked in duck broth. The duck soup is definitely rich but not salty. Duck has lots of collagen, so it has its benefits.It's a small place hence it's a good idea to reserve ahead of time.“
“Good neighborhood Chinese BBQ restaurant. Their roast ducks are excellent. Would also recommend the house noodle soup as the broth is very flavorful. No frills restaurant with average service. Prices are reasonable. They also have lunch specials during the week day.“
“If you are into spicy Chinese food, then you will love this place. This eatery serves Chengdu style food (a sub-part of Szechuan cuisine). It had the same 麻辣 taste for all of their dishes （literal translation: numb & hot pepper spicy) as in a typical Szechuan dish. Numbing effects came from black & white peppercorns, which you can taste quite distinctively. Thhis style of food is known as Maocai 冒菜(translates from local dialect: heat the food); , which derived from the hot spicy soup with all kinds of herbs pour over the ingredients creating steam (as in 冒烟as in “smoking”）just before serving to the patrons. You can choose from the menu or pick your own from the buffet bar and you will pay based on the weight of your selections. Once weighted, the kitchen will cook your concoction for you based on your selection of the sauce. All sauces were spicy and numbing. You can also choose lite spiciness, mid spiciness or extreme spiciness. This is the first time I’d tried this and I actually enjoyed the numbing and hot peppers flavor very much. I pride myself on eating spicy food, but I opted for lite spiciness here and it was plenty spicy for me. The prices were reasonable and the quantity was fulfilling for the items on the menu. You can also choose from glass noodle, rice noodle or instant noodle for your carb. I had the rice noodle and it was very well made. My wife selected the least spiciest sauce, the beef bone soup, with beef and it was just a bit spicy, but plenty of numbness.“
“I'd say this restaurant is a hidden treasure in LA. It is family owned, not appealing from exterior or interior but that's not the point. More importantly, their Shanghainese cuisine is one of the best in LA. The lady boss and her reception is always delightful. Chef is the owner so you can make sure he makes every dishes with cares. No MSG. A great place for family gathering.“
“The service is friendly and kind. The food has wonderful flavors and the best I have found in the area. I've tried other restaurants and they are lacking flavor and freshness. We always order enough for a few days and it stays fresh and flavorful. I recommend this restaurant if you want better than average tasting food. The Orange Chicken is so flavorful. The beef is tender and melts in your mouth. Kung Pao is perfectly spicy. Those are the staples of our orders. We add a new one every time just to change it up and haven't been disappointed.“
“"Lao Liu's Grilled Fish" on Roland Hill (Industry store only)Order grilled fish and get complimentary side dishes~At Lao Liu Jia ‘s Fish, I usually go for the black cod or the freshwater fish. I only go for their classic flavor—it's unbeatable!? I have friends who finish the fish and still ask to pack their soup base to enjoy at home later~Their barbecue and hot pot skewers are also excellent~Simply order directly from the menu with pictures!Moreover, the environment is pleasant and the service is top-notch. The staff members are always attentive and provide excellent service, making dining here a truly enjoyable experience.“
“Woot-Woot to Phoenix Food Court on showing promotional items for Lunar New Year. The marketing signage drew me in for sure! This is a chain restaurant and it's boutique locations menu lost its appeal or popularity declined since it's height in the mid-90s (e.g. its first store opened in Chinatown) Today, I am giving a 5-Stars, for the quick counter service, friendly staff but most importantly the offering of several quintessential treats-- abalone and nai gau to ring in the lunar New Year. Nai Gau, a glutinous sweet rice cake, thought to bring prosperity in the Lunar New Year. This desert treat is a tradition to eat for my family-- grandma used to make it, then my dad modified with his own ingredients and now I rely on local Chinese bakery! I was pleasantly impressed and surprised to find CNY specialties at Phoenix Boutique. I quickly bought one to not break tradition and looking forward to slicing and frying it up!“
“Great authentic Taiwanese foods. Definitely one of the closest to the taste you would get in Taiwanese. Come here for the food and not the service. Not a huge restaurant by any means so I would try to beat the rush. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking to try a taste of Taiwan.Parking: Parking is usually easy to find, not too much going on in this strip mall“
“I went to buy takeout on chinese new year. the long queue of lines compared to the restaurant next door was a telling sign the food here must be good. We ordered the beef chow fun and fish fillets. They were still warm and tasty by the time I brought it home. My parents liked the food at this location. We definitely want to come back here to try more of the dishes when we have another family gathering. The waiter that helped take my order was kind even with all the chaos of the chinese new year. My order took a little bit longer to come back due to the large crowds but I was able to run other errands and come back for my food on time when my food was ready.“
“Omg!! The food was soooooo delicious I couldn't stop eating it!! Long was so attentive and sweet taking care of us the entire time!! Anything I needed he was there to bring it and help us!! Please come here and if you get Long you'll have not only the best server but best easy time !! :)“
