“Always making great tasting food. I love this place. They also have great lunch prices during lunch up to 3:45 pm. Grab a few boxes for family dinner?everyone loves the variety of food. Help support great restaurant Rosemead, Temple city area. So happy when they moved from Valley Blvd and San Gabriel to their new location on Rosemead Blvd and Lower Azusa Rd in Rosemead. I had to give them a shout out.”
“We came here on a weekday evening at around 6pm and had no wait. They have only one option for dining at this Chubby Cattle location, which is an AYCE menu including Wagyu, pork, seafood, appetizers like Wagyu tartare and salmon carpaccio, rice, sushi and soup. For $65.99 (non-member price) per person, you definitely get what you pay for here!”

O’sushi
“Ordered the keto Love roll and Oyster and Baja roll everything was fresh ? ? really good quality and Japanese ceviche was bomb so good. If looking for good quality food I recommend here”
“We had the dim sum towards the end of service. The dim sum here was good, and is cheaper than going to an a la carte dim sum place. Adding drinks was only another 1.50, and you get a pretty good selection.Lina was great in helping us with the experience, as she explained the AYCE rules and was accommodating to all of our questions. She had even helped me bring things back to the table when she saw me struggling.Overall I would come back.”
“Everything tasted great. Beef noodle soup, spicy beef noodle soup, mala beef noodle soup. Now caution should be used with that devil spicy beef noodle soup. That is like ghost pepper crazy spicy.Pan fried buns and XLB were also good. The beef rolls were okay.ALLERGEN NOTES: No milk or egg used lol”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“My go to spot for 7 courses of beef and baked cat fish. Here's why:- Great value for a larger group (Last visit medium catfish, 4 portions of 7 courses of beef, and a couple of beers was less than $40/pp including tip)- I always leave full and satisfied- It's usually not crazy busy and they have a good amount of tables ( Last visit walked in on a Saturday night for 7 and there was no wait)- Staff is pretty friendly- 10% off with Yelp check-in for birthday celebrations- A handful of TVs if you need to have the game on while dining- They only charge extra for vermicelli and not for extra rice paper or veggiesTips:- It's been mentioned but call ~45 mins in advanced for the baked catfish so it'll be ready for when you show up- There are three main dipping sauces; super funky fermented fish, more mild fish sauce, slightly tart tamarind sauce. You can mix to your level of desired funk but the peanuts, sambal, pickled lemon grass helps temper everything- It's super hands on food, don't be afraid to ask for help if you didn't come with an experienced diner”
“I gave a 5 star because I really want this business to do well!1. The service was great for a Chinese place. It's one lady working the whole front. She was nice and attentive, she was even kind to the delivery pick up people that came in, and packed the to go for me at the end of my meal!2. Delicious food, good portions. Comparatively, it's the lower price of what you can find of quality Chinese food. I don't recommend getting the fresh cut fish because they actually fillet the fish so there are some fine bones and it's not cleaned very well. Flavor still good and didn't bother me. The cold noodle is a must, less on the tangy side and more on spice. I do love that the chili in this dish is very clean and doesn't have that burnt taste some other places have. I was only able to try 2 dishes but I would definitely come back for more.3. The restaurant is very spacious but it's not a bougie place. Come here for a good meal, not the view. There's definitely bigger tables that can seat large parties.4. Parking is probably the worst since it's mostly streets and it's on a big street. But not difficult to find parking though you may have to walk a few steps.Would love to see this restaurant thrive.”
“Been here so many times, the fried pork intestines are especially tasty. The skewers are pretty good, flavorful without being too heavy and the prices are super reasonable.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Wow, what a selection of ready-to-eat meals in which you can choose to microwave at the self-serve condiments & utensils area. Plus, it's a mini market for all your Indonesian cooking needs. Outdoor-only dining and parking is a little challenging.”
“A bit pricey, but it's an excellent Pho restaurant. Food are really delicious ? Parking might be difficult. Tiny plaza with narrow parking spaces. But people come and go quickly... I took out 1 ⭐ for their parkings. Really hate their parking.”
“There are actually goose intestines!A fair suggestion is to cook the goose intestines, brains, and black tripe for a while, otherwise it will be a bit fishy.Mama meatballs are full of death cilantro.”

“Wait for a table was fine, didn't take that long. The interior was very nice and clean. Food was yummy. Only complaint that I have is that all of the food didnt arrive at the same time. One person in my group got the pho and got it by the time most of us were almost done eating.Parking: Even though it's free parking for the lot, it's really small. I recommend parking in the street and walking over to save time.”
“The Grilled Pork Bahn Mi is soooo good! I come here for lunch once a week. And the price per sandwich is still very fair, about $3 less than Mr. Baguette for the same sandwich.”
“Love this place! Best Banh Xeo around with a uniquely crunchy outer shell and the most beautiful assortment of perfectly fresh and delicious greens. Costs more, but it's definitely worth it. The atmosphere is exactly as it should be... you know you're paying for tasty, authentic food, not fancy decor. Will definitely be back!”
“Good service, excellent portions, the food is super delicious and with top quality ingredients, we ordered the nachos, chilaquiles and birria, all delicious, the café de roca is also excellent and the best thing is that the tortillas are made to ”

“They are really nice here. The young female cashier is very precise and the food is made with love and skill. Plus the hot chili crisp oil they sell is sooo good. The Batch X will make you cry and I love it. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu!”

“Great customer service. The guy who helped us out was nice and explained how to order. I would say i ordered my bowl pretty plain which is probably why I didn't really enjoy it but im definitely going back to try a different bowl.”
“This unassuming restaurant in the entrance of a supermarket is a hidden gem. Found it looking for Bo Luc Lac in the LA area and found it via Instagram review than made me want to drive all the way from Long Beach and I was not disappointed, as they serve one of the better Luc Lac, tender and well balanced on sauce and pepper. Their medium is more well done than medium so adapt your request based on that.The rest of the dishes are also very well executed, fresh and flavorful. The service is efficient and friendly while attentive.Well worth a trip if you Are not close, you will not be disappointed.Parking: Parking is busy”
“RCP FTW! Brian is the most down to earth pizza shop owner you will meet. His crew's creation for different pizzas are limitless. Stay for the pie while you browse around at their artwork on the walls from local artists.Parking: Lots of parking”

Sen sushi
“Thank you Sen Sushi!! I was scrolling through Yelp recently to see where I can take my husband for his birthday. Sen sushi's sushi cakes popped up and I knew that's exactly what I wanted. I gave them a call and the lady that was working was very nice and explained to me that I can chose my own rolls and they can form it into a sushi cake for me. Everything was super easy. I even asked if I can bring my own cake toppers and she said it wasn't a problem. I told her the date and time we were coming and it was ready right when we got there. The rolls were delicious and my husband also said the sashimi, uni and oyster was very fresh as well. It was my daughter's first time eating sushi and she loved it. So happy that everything worked out and my husband loved his Rick and Morty Sushi cake. Thank you again Sen Sushi!”
“Food taste is very good, although not necessary the best in town. However, they add good presentation and combined some of the most fancy and famous disks, that is hard to fine in other restaurants. Certainly, a WOW for eaters that have not seen them before. Service is not the best, again, but for a very popular place, they performed professional enough.”
“My family & I used to come here every so often throughout the years when I was a kid. I’ve also been here, here & there as an adult but hadn’t been here in years since I don’t live near the area anymore. Anyway, recently I had their Di Pilla’s Special Pizza & it was still pretty good like it was years ago but a little different than before?. I’ve also had their Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken & their simple fresh baked bread as well as their Lasagna in the past which were all really good?. This is a family owned restaurant that’s been around for years & passed on generation after generation.”

“The place was very clean and the service was very quick. Being my first time their the workers were patient with me and answered my questions regarding the build your own bowl process, I'm used to ordering, and it already having its own chosen ingredients and toppings.I can't wait to be in the area to have a reason to return.”
“Came here yesterday for happy hour with friends. Place is a hidden gem... Plenty of seats available, televisions to watch games, mixed music selection. They have a pool table and karaoke room. Plenty of drinks options or bartender was awesome. The asada fries, garlic fries, wings and Brussel sprouts were delicious. Will be back...”
“Came here for a family lunch and we will definitely be back! Hearty portions. The chapo specials have a few type of meats they kind of compete with each-other and I would skip the chicken in that specific combination. The breakfast burrito was a HIT. Next time I want to try it with hash brown/refried beans. Everything else was good , will be back for sure . Service was good, not a Michelin starJoint but the price is right and it's definitely a neighborhood joint. Worker was like " you've never been here before so they definitely have their clientele" murals on the walls average Mexican spot vibes.”
“Good place to eat. Nice selection of dishes. Freshly made food as well. Salmon was cooked well. The rice is good. Great ambiance. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but overall a great experience”
“This place is delicious! The bowls are huge couldn’t even finish my Phó they have a wide variety of soups. I definitely recommend this place.Great Service as well, everyone so friendly & welcoming ”
“We had a group of 20 people in the area for a national track meet. The meet ended late, and we knew the athletes would need to refuel before going to bed that evening, and starting early the next day.Daniel, Jose and their crew at Olive Garden did an incredible job taking care of us! They allowed us to place our order ahead of time, so the food would be ready when the athletes arrived. The table is ready for us, and the food came out, just as the athletes arrived from their meet.They took care of our large party with exceptional service, and the food was delicious! We could not have asked for a better experience!Highly recommend this restaurant for their food, service, and outstanding staff! Thanks, Olive Garden!”
“This place has been around forever. Still very good. Not sure why there are bad reviews. Delicious Pho. Not as cheap as it use to be. But then again, nothing is.”
“The boss, counter, and service staff are all very friendly; the price is fair, and the food is delicious. Highly praised, great!Parking: Approximately 150 parking spaces!”
“I’m not sure why people are crazy about in and out - it’s like going crazy for a hot dog located ok la brea st. In Los Angeles.Stopped here because a friend was insistent.I’d rather go to the habit any day of the week. Thr burgers are juicier and tastier.”
“The menudo was very good, hot and flavorful. The fish ceviche was delicious! The aguachiles were on the spicey side, but that's how they are made and they were good with a cold beer. Wish they would take the tails off the shrimp, though. Also got the mixed ceviche which was also good. Great sized portions and good home made style food, very authentic. Excellent service.”
“Tons of menu items to choose from. This jim's is close to my work.I eat there often. Some items are better than others. Breakfast is usually pretty good. The chicken sandwich can get a little dry.But that's the only negative thing.I can say about this location. They do get busy, and sometimes they may not look happy but they are very friendly. Smile, and they will smile back.I promise you.”
“A relative recommended this place for the hotpot. I'm glad we tried it out.The hotpot did not disappoint. It had a satisfying bean curd flavor and goes compliments the meats. The tofu skin was crispy and you can actually order some more to add in the hotpot. The portion was decent for a small group.We also order 2 other fish items that was also great. The seasonings were on point and goes so well with white rice.The menu is a unique collection of Vietnamese/Chinese dishes that are not found in standard Vietnamese restaurants in the area. I would definitely come back for more.The atmosphere really feel felt like I was in Saigon again for some reason. Maybe it's the tile floor. Maybe it's the customer service. I can't really put my finger on it.”
“Came by during lunchtime and it wasn't too busy. Service was fast with little wait time. There are a few tables inside to eat at. We got the: #5 Grilled pork sandwich ($8.79) and #9 Lemongrass beef sandwich ($9.99). They both tasted great, as delicious as usual! Good portion at a reasonable price. You get full from one sandwich.”
“Staff is friendly. The venue is nicely decorated. There are large private party rooms. The menu has a variety of classic dishes to exquisite items. Great location for small or large parties.”
“This was a restaurant I stumbled upon while buying egg tarts nearby at Phu’s bakery. They have a lot of options and have large portions. I had bought the dishes home. Pad see ew, rad na (thick rice noodles with gravy), and pad soon sen. these were all delicious. The catfish dish was alright. I probably won’t order that again as it was quite hard and sweet.Service was good for to-go. Ambiance: They have quite a bit of seating and can accommodate large groups.”
“Would not have stopped but that I saw, lettered neatly on the sidewalk chalkboard, "Vietnamese Crepe" , and seeing as it's not so easy to find Bánh xèo, and I like it, so I sallied forth. I was courteously welcomed and quickly seated and I ordered the Bánh xèo. It was delicious and I enjoyed it tremendously. I was most impressed with the many dishes described on the menu and I hope that I will have the opportunity to eat here a few more times.”

“Been here so many times, the fried pork intestines are especially tasty. The skewers are pretty good, flavorful without being too heavy and the prices are super reasonable.”
“It appears they are only doing dim sum take out. The cha siu baos are delish! Full of tasty filling and big. They also offer the more typical smaller version of the bao as well as other dim sum dishes.”
“Thank you Sen Sushi!! I was scrolling through Yelp recently to see where I can take my husband for his birthday. Sen sushi's sushi cakes popped up and I knew that's exactly what I wanted. I gave them a call and the lady that was working was very nice and explained to me that I can chose my own rolls and they can form it into a sushi cake for me. Everything was super easy.

“This evening I found the nearest Indian restaurant. My favorite thing to eat is the fermented scallion pancake. I really like it and can’t get enough of it every time. I also love the Indian samosas in picture 4, and I must order them every time. The roasted chicken in picture 3 is not only beautiful but also delicious. The skin is perfectly crispy, which is very good. He also had a very good attitude and introduced the characteristics of the dishes when he served them to us.”
“Delicious Hong Kong-style drinks, dishes and entrees selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the San Gabriel side of the valley. Service is always pleasant and the wait staff are the nicest people that you can find in any Hong Kong-style restaurants. They are always polite and respectful. Food wise, is always a delicious delight! We are frequent patrons and love everything about this cafe.”
“The food in the menu I just like some of it. But the xa xiu and the crispy pork is very good, it doesn’t dry and salty like the other places. In my opinion I like ”
“Amazing food, great service. Very affordable prices and huge amounts. Perfect Chinese cuisine restaurant. Very recommend this place. The service was also very fast.”
“This place is truly an overlooked gem in the SGV. I don't even remember how we found it, and they're not going to win any awards for decor or atmosphere, but the proprietor is very friendly and makes tremendous food that is served fast in generous quantities at a very good price.The noodle dishes we've had here rival any we've had in southern california, including Mian at their best (like right after they opened, not in the past few years). Especially recommend the chungking noodle with red soup, dan dan noodle, and my favorite, the chungking homemade noodle, which is definitely worth the couple extra bucks for the better noodles than those that come with the regular chungking noodle. Happy to find that the prices haven't increased recently, and would love to see more people eating here. It's so good!If you're a fan of really sweet drinks, order the lemon tea.Cash only. Easy parking.”
“This restaurant has close to 40 years history of continuous operation in, arguably, one of the most competitive market for Chinese foods in the USA. It's due to a combination of high quality of foods and unique niche market segment (Islamic Chinese foods).”
“Great dim sum. Food brought out by push cart but is order by menu. Large venue with big TV screens and dance floor. We got lucky and were there when they did a Lunar New Year celebration.”
“Very authentic Hunan food! Flavorful but not too Sat. They do get busy during lunch but we'll worth the wait. Delivery is a good option too cuz it doesn't impact food quality. The heat does build up so ask for less spices if you can't handle it.”
“Best fish seafood ever! Unfortunately, people smoke right outside the door leading into the restaurant. Smoke can blow into the room especially when it's raining outside. If I didn't love the food so much, I wouldn't come here. I try to sit far away from the door.”
“I ordered eggplant meat slices, old-fashioned pot-wrapped pork, pulled skin, and chicken rack. I really think this restaurant is good. It is certified by Northeasterners and is very authentic. The steamed bun pork is really delicious. Service is normal, nothing special. ”
“Had a group of 9 people on a Friday night. Huge parking lot. Sat us down right away, you pay upfront which is nice. SO MUCH SUSHI! And it tasted very fresh. Pick your toppings for stir-fry noodle, and chief cooks it up right in front of you! All you can eat for sure. Yes there is TONS of seafood, but there are so many other options as well. Everything we tried was delicious and had so much flavor. Many dessert options. 0 complaints. Definitely will be returning. ??”
“Time Space is the epitome of a great night out! The Chinese BBQ is absolutely divine, and the karaoke system ensures there's never a dull moment. I always leave with a smile on my face.”

24 Hour Restaurants
“IHOP never fails to satisfy the craving for pancakes ?. This location is open 24 hours 7 days a week. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The Blueberry Pancakes ? are great here, a must-try.”
“Often only accepts cash. Be prepared.Updated as of August 2023: This place often closes down after midnight and it's touch and go with whoever is working there. They will be "closed" until 4AM even though it is listed as Open 24 hours. Hast lost my business when it comes to options during late late nights.”
“You must not miss this Shanxi noodle restaurant. The uncle at the front desk is super friendly and friendly. He speaks friendly Taiyuan dialect. In addition, the food is very authentic (a strong affirmation from Taiyuan people in Shanxi Province), and it will not make any mistakes. It tastes like a parent! ! ! Moved to tears! Come and eat! !”
“The food in the menu I just like some of it. But the xa xiu and the crispy pork is very good, it doesn’t dry and salty like the other places. In my opinion I like ”
“Review is only for the banquet style dinner. We had a 5pm reservation inside their banquet rooms for CNY. This was the right move as the restaurant got much busier by 6/7pm. Ordered the set menu at $899 and added on more specialty dishes - like the squab, king crab, and much more. Service is pretty good considering most of the staff knows my family - can’t say the same for those who are not Cantonese linguistically and culturally.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Wow! This small restaurant is packed of flavors! The atmosphere is inviting and charming. Our waiter was attentive, quick and efficient. The wait for food did not take long at all. I love that the menu was simple. There are rice plate, noodle and appetizers options. We had the Banh xeo. The plate came with 3 crispy mini Banh Xeo and served with a plate of fresh greens for wrapping. The noodles were bomb! The bun mam was so tasty. The broth had a hint of sweetness and a fermented fish taste. I love the pepper stuffed with Cha. Oh and the veggies that is served with the bun nam have a crunch to every bite. The pho was surprisingly good too. The broth was rich and flavorful. However, I do wish they serve the nuoc beo - onion oil. The rice plate was decent too. The flavor of the grilled meat was yummy. I would definitely come back here again! Try the bun mam!!”
“This place is the bomb!! Will be my togo place for a bowl of delicious SeaFood Wonton Noodle. The noodles were chewy, fresh perfectly cooked. The seafood and wonton were perfectly prepared and tasty. Have to give the wonton a perfect 10. We also had their Hai Nam chicken rice, which was also delicious. The place is so clean, servers were super attentive. This place beats Kim Ky by a mile. Will definitely come back.”

“Gareth was the best representative of Dave’s Hot Chicken, he answered all questions and did it with a smile. First time eating here and it was amazing, hot, fresh and delicious. Great atmosphere with great music! We will be back several times ?”
“Making me to coming back every week the best boba place. I always get the best costomer service. The boba tea very testy. Beautiful place to hang out. Really recommend.”
“Food taste is very good, although not necessary the best in town. However, they add good presentation and combined some of the most fancy and famous disks, that is hard to fine in other restaurants.

This is a family owned restaurant that’s been around for years & passed on generation after generation.”
“Their Japanese cheesecake is like biting into a piece of heaven - it's fluffy, light, and just the right amount of sweetness. PROMO ALERT: Until the end of Feb, tag them on social media, and you'll receive a free cheese tart! I chose the matcha flavor.”
“Affordable & delicious. You'd have to wipe the tables down before sitting because it gets crowded, hence messy. Got the lobster roll at the sushi place near the entrance. Sweet, delicious, & juicy. Had a bite of the chinese chow mein in the food court, which is a great bang for your buck but could be a little juicier & sweeter. Great for friends with diverse taste.”
“Yummy Portuguese egg tartTart is on the soft side, not the crispy layered style.I like both styles, so all good.I order a couple to four dozens every time I go thereThey are still hot some times and I just eat them right away.Pricing are getting higher and higher though”
“We stopped in 30 min before they closed. I was skeptical about the quality of the food to be ordered. However, everything turned out great and tasted fantastic, just like homemade.The servers were really patient and kind regardless of the fact that they were about to close for the day. In some other places, I would have the feeling that I am being rushed to order, to finish my meal and to pay. However, not at this place.”
“Small restaurant/ cafe that specializes in noodles and dumplings. And more specifically, shanxi knife-cut noodles. The place feels family owned and operated and this was reflected in the friendly, warm service. I came in on a cold evening, looking for some warm soup. So I ordered the beef noodle soup. I ended choosing the thinner, hand stretched noodles (as apposed to the thicker knife cut variety), because it seemed like it would go better in the soup. The noodles were very well done and chewy. Great texture to go along with the comforting spicy broth. I also ordered fish and leek dumplings. Great flavor and structure. I took most to go because the two dishes I ordered was a lot of food. I enjoyed the vibe here. While I was eating, there were two ladies preparing dumplings off to the side. It reminded me of my mom and aunt when I visit my parents. So there was a nostalgic factor. Like a lot of other restaurants in the area that I really enjoy, this place feels like a great value for delicious noodles and dumplings because of their great selection and very reasonable prices.”
“Delicious Food Corner is a restaurant I keep coming back to for brunch.Their pork and preserved egg congee is a great (staple Cantonese-style) breakfast item, but a bit plain, so I like to add white pepper to it.The pineapple bun with butter is best eaten fresh when the bun is still steamy hot and the butter is slightly melted.F.Y.I. Don't get the toast with condensed milk to-go; it's super dry and they don't give you enough condensed milk and sugar powder.The (ceylon) milk tea is often made fresh and you can see the staff pouring/mixing it from a 2-foot height at the kitchen bar area. It's pretty amazing to watch them do that and I've never seen it being done in-person at other restaurants.I ordered the shrimp cheung fun with the breakfast combo meal (which is a great value), but I got the rice rolls with peanut sauce instead. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the combination is and it's more like a dessert item. It's basically like the Thai-style peanut sauce on top of cheung fun.At least for this location, it's almost always full of people with no tables, even just 30 minutes after opening. I usually order to-go for that reason, but parking in sparse in the plaza too.”

“COP YOUR FRESH CANE JUICE ASAP!! This was my first time coming here and I can't believe I haven't gone before. The owner is selling the place so be sure the visit ASAP if you want FRESH cane juice.”
“This restaurant has close to 40 years history of continuous operation in, arguably, one of the most competitive market for Chinese foods in the USA. It's due to a combination of high quality of foods and unique niche market segment (Islamic Chinese foods).”
“Food is great, for both locations either the one in Cerritos or Rosemead/ Montebello.Parking: For the cerritos location, parking is small, the Cerritos Mall is across the street, but depending on time of day it gets really full also.Kid-friendliness: They do have a kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Ramp available for Wheelchairs.”
“La vie will definitely exceed your expectations being that it is a small unassuming restaurant in the not so boosie edge of South San Gabriel. Delicious escargo and a wide variety of desserts. My favorite the fresh fruit sabyon have sadly taken off the menu for some reason. The vietnamese family that owns it takes great pride in they're cooking and Mastered the art in France. The newer heavyset hostess guy (sorry if i misused the pronoun) is kinda rude and Absolutely dreaded and contested my cash payment due to the pandemic.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I come here for the vanilla ca phe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee). It's probably my favorite place to get it, even tho it's pretty sweet with the condensed milk. The atmosphere feels like an Asian market cafe with small groceries & coffee cans in the center, but it feels smaller & cozy for the older folks to hang out with their buddies inside & outside. The sandwiches are ok to good, tho there's a lot of competition for banh mi in the area. They have Buy 2 Get 1 Free for many of their items but it's not obvious unless you get their app.Bathrooms are clean. Wait is decent. There is a drive thru, try not to park where the drive thru line is or you might get trapped.”
“This has been by far, the best place to get your Pastrami fix. I live in Las Vegas and when ever I go to California, I have to stop at Jim's to get a Pastrami.”
“I came in to try snoop's munchie meal, plus to take advantage of the free refills on a hot day. I haven't been inside a jack n da box in maybe around 6 years or so. I was surprised it was actually clean! The meal costs more than 15$. I think if you like the food it's a good deal considering how everything costs these days. Plus, it came with an air fresher for your car. It also helped that all my food was made super fresh and was piping hot! My only gripe is the sandwich in the meal isn't really a sandwich. It comes on a hot dog shaped bun. So I guess if u consider a hot dog a sandwich, then it's a sandwich. lol”
“I've only tried their burgers and fries and every time they have never disappointed. They're fried zucchini and onion rings are definitely some of the best. It's a great local spot to grab a burger and would recommend swinging by!”
“I eat at pollo loco most of the time since I am a driver and it seems to me to be one of the healthiest fast foods on the market in this location. It is the best pollo loco restaurant so far that I have visited and I have been to almost all the pollo locos in Los Ángeles, the incredible attention, the portions and the detail of ordering it the way I like it without being bothered. I love it. It's my second time in this location and it has been the best customer service. The food and the place are very spacious and clean. Thank you very much to the person who served me today. in the morning his name. Ashley”
“This location has a special chef menu. Some days, you can explore new flavorsThe service is quick and accurate, and I recommend you round up your bill to help the children charity. ”
“Taco's always hit the spot! Restaurant was very clean! Employees, BOTH, a lady manager & a guy at the register were SO RUDE & just very unkind with grumpy dirty looks! The guy was practically whispering as he rolled his eyes! ?”
“Quick, affordable and consistent. I mean quick service, affordable options and consistent flavors. I like knowing what to expect and it gives me peace of mind to eat here in this location. Will be coming back for more peace of mind comforting meals!”
“I'm a truck driver. The girl at the window was cool that she let me walk up the window to order my food after hours. Knowing my truck won't fit the drive through.”
“First of all I don't even leave reviews . But the two young men of Asian decent working that counter today blew me away with their amazing energy and good customer service . And it wasn't just to me , they kept their demeanor with everyone . They were so pleasant I forgot I was at McDonald's lol that was so dope”
“For a small place like this, they did well. The service was good and so was the food. Ordered the extra large combo and split it between my me and my wife and left feeling full and satisfied.”
“Drive thru employee Josue gave me a positive attitude and service that made my day better. I appreciate fast food workers a lot and there effort and consistent positive service at this location.”
“Everything we ate was great. Fresh, not overly salty my guest really enjoyed it and she's very discriminating on her taste. Right next to a hotel. Highly recommend . excuse the pics. We were eating ?”
“Great dim sum. Food brought out by push cart but is order by menu. Large venue with big TV screens and dance floor. We got lucky and were there when they did a Lunar New Year celebration.”
“Very authentic Hunan food! Flavorful but not too Sat. They do get busy during lunch but we'll worth the wait. Delivery is a good option too cuz it doesn't impact food quality. The heat does build up so ask for less spices if you can't handle it.”

“This is where my mom would get banh mis for us when I was little and I just recently re-discovered them! The #1 Thit Nguoi or cold cuts is my version of THEE traditional banh mi. There's no where else you need to go. The fresh bread is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. When you order, you can choose from the football shape or the baguette shaped bread. Scratch pate, cold cuts, daikon, carrots, cilantro, and thinly shaved jalapeños. Service is straightforward and fast! Corner store vibes but Vietnamese :) Parking is also plentiful. Ugh my heart is so happy!!”
“The pan and tamales are AMAZING! the concha with the fruit was a little too sweet for my taste, but amazing nonetheless. Their tamales actually have a good amount of meat in them, unlike most tamales that only have little hairs of meat. They also have menudo, which is served earlier in the day on weekends. Call in advance to make sure they have it. Best pan I’ve ever had!”
“Very cute boba shop with unique offerings. Great place for a drink after having dinner or lunch nearby. Place was very clean with cute decorations and comfy seats. Would recommend and will come again soon :-)”
“Hole on the wall type restaurant with basic Vietnamese food, customer service was not the greatest but that was to be expected from this kind of place. Food was tasty and great without frills. Had the cơm phần 2 người with chè 3 màu.”
“An excellent hole in the wall that satisfies all taste buds in one sitting! I am ALWAYS craving their noodles! Both affordable and tasteful. It doesn't get better than this--even a noodle house doesn't top their food.There's a variety of options, but they're known for their infamous wonton noodle soup! People tend to pair it with some delicious "Chinese donuts"”
“Super great place. Came here for the first time yesterday to get some donuts for my coworkers and everyone loved them, I especially loved the crumb donut. Came by this morning and got turkey,egg, cheese croissant sandwich and it's huge, delicious, and very fair price! The staff are super friendly and very pleasant in the morning. It's really nice coming in the morning and being greeted by them. The guy working there in the morning was also very helpful and accommodating when I asked him to just give me a random assortment of 2 dozen donuts. I think I'll make this my go to spot if I need something to eat before work since it's way better food and WAY better price than Starbucks or McDonald's these days.”
“Boom. In the area? Go here!... Not in the area? Get in the area and go here! Authentic! Delicious! Legit!If you don't love it... there's something wrong with you...Cheers!”
“We pre-ordered a cake online and it was ready to be picked up when we arrived. Nothing Bundt Cakes is usually a solid option if you need a cake or want mini bundt cakes to share for an event. I always thought the cakes were tasty and moist.”
“Food court restaurant, Chinese speaking mostly. Tried their Tom Yum noodle before, a bit salty but good taste. My favorite dish here is their Chinese broccoli with Crispy Pork. Goes great with rice and very tasty. Pineapple fried rice here is also very decent.Overall, great neighborhood/food court restaurant with good dishes for decent money.”
“We stumbled upon this little bakery after having lunch next door. I noticed the display case had rows of colorful baos on display, and that was enough to get my curiosity. Inside is small. There are no seats, have mostly packaged foods and whatever is inside the glass case. Our first time, we tried their taro, custard and mung bean baos. A quick heat-up under a wet paper towel in the microwave and they came out warm and soft with a sweet filling. Second visit, I got 4 custard, 2 taro and 2 red bean, and I'm sure these will be equally good like the first time. According to the owner, these will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks or much kk her in the freezer. Just steam them or try the microwave method to get that soft, pillowy texture again. Royal Bakery appears to be a small family run business, and their baos are quite good. I haven't tried their other sweet or savory buns yet, and that's just a good reason for me to go back again.”
“Came here for lunch and it was a really homey experience. We ordered the #1 beef streamed rice with pickled mustard (that had enough rice for two people), #10 braised chicken and abalone soup with ginseng, #35 Minnan ginger duck, and # 42 garlic bok choy. Though the soup size was a bit small for the price, I felt the quality of the broth was worth it on the first taste. You know by the smell of garlic bok choy that the hot wok was on fire! (The fire emoji is not showing up here) The service was kind and fast. Will definitely come back to try the other soups and dishes! Come give it a try!”
“It's the kind of mom and pop place that I love to eat. The place is only big enough for about 7-8 tables. But the traffic never stops.Staff, including the owner, are very friendly and down to earth. I love that the owner was at each table talking and checking on customers.Food: This place is known for the quality of the steamed chicken. It's perfectly seasoned and perfectly steamed.”
“First time at this location. The coffee Oreo is the best ice cream I've ever had! So good! Also the gentleman that helped me was super nice and friendly! Wish I would have asked him name. He was there 9/6/2023 between 1:50-2:15pm lolThank you sir for making my day. Location by my house has terrible customer service so I never go, I will be driving out to this location from now on”
“Called to order a banh mi at like 8:30 and they came in so clutch. Love that they’re open till 9. Portions are large - really huge compared to normal, it really hit the spot today”
“I love coming to this restaurant whenever I come to the food court! The owners are always so welcoming and reminds me of my own family. This place definitely feels like authentic home made dishes. My favorite is their Bun Rieu which is also a popular item of theirs. The salt and pepper shrimp is also very flavorful and fresh. The price is very reasonable and worth every penny! I can't wait to go back to try their combo dishes.”
“The host initially told us 45min - 1 hr. Then after an hour she changed her words and said its 1.5-2hrs. The worst part is she made it a point to state that she never said the first time frame and made me feel dumb for her lie. Service at tables was okay. Food was consistent and good.”

“Service was great. Food was delicious!Juan, the manager has great people skills and makes you feel at home. Charles, our waiter, gave us top serve. He was always on cue with our food and drinks. He was friendly and so prompt that we never at any point lacked serve. Great job, Juan and Charles. we will be back for the potatoe skins,Models california crunchy rolls and OMG, the chicken pot stickers yummy! My husband loved his bacon cheeseburgers he said it was delicious! Excellent, to be exact, and the fries has a seasoning to die for.”
“Best fish seafood ever! Unfortunately, people smoke right outside the door leading into the restaurant. Smoke can blow into the room especially when it's raining outside. If I didn't love the food so much, I wouldn't come here. I try to sit far away from the door.”

“OMG! Bacon & avocado are paper thin. Doesn’t have much variety of liquid juice for it…Thought it’s franchise business. I ate @ other locations weekly from work. This location was my first & last, sorry. 5 stars for economic support …”
“Ordered 2 green onion pancakes, 2 chive pancakes, and a pack of green onion bread (6) for $20. Prices are reasonable and it's cash only. Flavors are simple, tastes home-made without of a lot preservatives/additives. Toasted the bread and pan-fried the pancakes to reheat as needed. Enjoyed everything with a dab of maggi soy sauce (iykyk). Service is straightforward. More of a grab and go experience. Ambiance seems like it's more of a professional/industrial sized kitchen. My favorite part is the calculator in lieu of a cash register (:”
“This is the only taco truck I can always rely on! The tacos and meat is just awesome and sometimes they get your order wrong if you're not clear or loud enough but nothing that can't be fixed! I would cry if this truck ever leaves.”
“Good service, excellent portions, the food is super delicious and with top quality ingredients, we ordered the nachos, chilaquiles and birria, all delicious, the café de roca is also excellent and the best thing is that the tortillas are made to ”

“They are really nice here. The young female cashier is very precise and the food is made with love and skill. Plus the hot chili crisp oil they sell is sooo good. The Batch X will make you cry and I love it. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu!”
“Delicious Hong Kong-style drinks, dishes and entrees selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the San Gabriel side of the valley. Service is always pleasant and the wait staff are the nicest people that you can find in any Hong Kong-style restaurants. They are always polite and respectful.

“Wow, what a selection of ready-to-eat meals in which you can choose to microwave at the self-serve condiments & utensils area. Plus, it's a mini market for all your Indonesian cooking needs. Outdoor-only dining and parking is a little challenging.”
“Had a group of 9 people on a Friday night. Huge parking lot. Sat us down right away, you pay upfront which is nice. SO MUCH SUSHI! And it tasted very fresh. Pick your toppings for stir-fry noodle, and chief cooks it up right in front of you! All you can eat for sure. Yes there is TONS of seafood, but there are so many other options as well. Everything we tried was delicious and had so much flavor. Many dessert options. 0 complaints. Definitely will be returning. ??”
“I’m not sure why people are crazy about in and out - it’s like going crazy for a hot dog located ok la brea st. In Los Angeles.Stopped here because a friend was insistent.I’d rather go to the habit any day of the week. Thr burgers are juicier and tastier.”
“Wait for a table was fine, didn't take that long. The interior was very nice and clean. Food was yummy. Only complaint that I have is that all of the food didnt arrive at the same time. One person in my group got the pho and got it by the time most of us were almost done eating.Parking: Even though it's free parking for the lot, it's really small. I recommend parking in the street and walking over to save time.”

“This unassuming restaurant in the entrance of a supermarket is a hidden gem. Found it looking for Bo Luc Lac in the LA area and found it via Instagram review than made me want to drive all the way from Long Beach and I was not disappointed, as they serve one of the better Luc Lac, tender and well balanced on sauce and pepper. Their medium is more well done than medium so adapt your request based on that.The rest of the dishes are also very well executed, fresh and flavorful. The service is efficient and friendly while attentive.Well worth a trip if you Are not close, you will not be disappointed.Parking: Parking is busy”

“Good place to eat. Nice selection of dishes. Freshly made food as well. Salmon was cooked well. The rice is good. Great ambiance. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but overall a great experience”
“This evening I found the nearest Indian restaurant. My favorite thing to eat is the fermented scallion pancake. I really like it and can’t get enough of it every time. I also love the Indian samosas in picture 4, and I must order them every time. The roasted chicken in picture 3 is not only beautiful but also delicious. The skin is perfectly crispy, which is very good. He also had a very good attitude and introduced the characteristics of the dishes when he served them to us.”

“Often only accepts cash. Be prepared.Updated as of August 2023: This place often closes down after midnight and it's touch and go with whoever is working there. They will be "closed" until 4AM even though it is listed as Open 24 hours. Hast lost my business when it comes to options during late late nights.”
“There are actually goose intestines!A fair suggestion is to cook the goose intestines, brains, and black tripe for a while, otherwise it will be a bit fishy.Mama meatballs are full of death cilantro.”
