“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“I came here for a meal and was really impressed! I ordered the Beef Fried Rice and the Hunan-Style Fried Pork Slices, and both dishes tasted very authentic. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and just what I was hoping for. The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a good Chinese meal. I’d definitely come back again !“

“Tried the Curry Katsu Cup and it was everything I wanted it to be and more. Price was beyond reasonable and portions were generous. I also met the owner who was extremely nice and he recommended other dishes for next time. Will definitely come back.“

“Reservation was made through yelp and we were seated promptly. At the time I went, parking was okay but since it is shared with multiple businesses so it can possibly be packed. The restaurant was clean and decorated with a vibe.

The restaurant offers AYCE shabu meats and sushi. You can choose from two different option tiers (fyi it is more on the pricier side). Their Wagyu was tender and very flavorful and you can choose from a wide selection of nigiri and sashimi. Furthermore, there is also a serve it yourself bar with veggie, side dishes, sauces, curry, and drinks. At the end there are a few ice cream selections you can choose from. I always definitely go for the matcha!

Overall it was a nice experience. The staff members were friendly, very attentive, and made sure to check up on us to make sure if we needed anything.“

“This is #1 Korean Food restaruant in LA hands down, it is the only restaurant I have seen that gives MORE food than the photos.

Pork Belly wrap is so authentic in taste I thought I was in Korea, and you can tell every item is super delicious. Plus it was big enough for 2- 3 people👏

I plan to try every single item this place offers.“

“Thanks to my son in law we got to try a new spot. How Rowland Heights has changed since the 80’s. Just love the rich food scene. Be forewarned. Friday and Saturday nights the parking can be very challenging. Once seated service was quick. But here is how it works. You order your broth selection an some premium proteins online. The rest is pretty much self service from the various refrigerators. Seafood, beef tendon, beef with cilantro, gizzards, plenty of mushrooms, and veggies. You select what you want and take it back to your table and immerse in the broth. Feels very cafe style which I just enjoyed. Totally a find. I will be back.“

“Great Taste and very large portions. Two thumbs up! 👍👍“

“​When we pulled up, the parking lot was completely packed, which we took as a great sign for the food! Luckily, we found a spot nearby. Since there were only two of us, we got seated right away, but bigger groups definitely had a bit of a wait.
​The black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) were incredible, the noodles were so chewy and had the perfect texture. The sweet and sour pork was really good, too. Honestly, I’m just thrilled I don’t have to drive all the way to Koreantown for great Korean-Chinese food anymore! So happy to find a spot close by that completely hits the spot.“

“I am not Korean but I love this restaurant. They serve true comfort food. The galbi tang is so tasty as well as the braised beef. Now that they started serving rice cake soup with dumpling, all of my Korean comfort food is in one place. Yay!“

“I’ve had only four dining experience at this place over 8 years, and each time it blew my mind away, and I don’t know why I didn’t go as often. The most recent experience is a little sad because they got ride of the tv that shows classic Hayao Miyazaki Animes. And the last time I went there was before covid, I think they have different cooks too, because the curry is so much thicker and I’m not a big fan of that.
But overall food quality is amazing, fried chicken is so juicy inside and crispy with nice flavor it was better than I’ve had in Japan town area in San Diego. The pork katsu skewer was so strangely good too, I’ve never had anything similar to that, it’s a bunch of pork cubes on a skewer with panko on the outside, looked like a crispy corndog, tasted amazing. Omurice was not good, I had it with curry sauce, the omelet itself was great, but the rice was dry and salty, the curry was salty as well.
I recommend their fried foods, they are really good with the fryer, but I’m going to try the beef tongue steak next time.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“Went on a Monday night, ample seating no wait.

Got their bossam and a beef stew. Got the smallest bossam. These two dishes was enough for four adults. So ample portion size. Purple rice was also really tasty. Everything was pretty good, bossam especially. Would say the banchan were just ok tho.

Overall a solid place for some stews and bossam.“

“Pickled Fish: The fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth, the sauerkraut is crispy and appetizing, the soup base is sour and spicy but not choking at all, every bite is full of sincerity! I especially like the light numbing aroma, paired with hot rice, it is simply a healing tool in winter!

Guobao Pork: Under the golden and crispy skin is tender and juicy tenderloin. The ratio of sweet and sour sauce is just right. You can hear the "click" when you bite into it! The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely a textbook interpretation of Northeastern cuisine!

Home-style tofu: The tofu is fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It absorbs the fragrance of the sauce and is smooth and tender in the mouth without losing the bean flavor. Paired with the crispness of fungus and green pepper, it is full of texture, simple but full of homey taste, and it is a perfect meal!

The three dishes in this restaurant each have their own merits. The taste is authentic and the portions are substantial. You will become a fan after eating it once! Highly recommended to friends who love food~“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“The Kobe stakes is so testy . Assassins was as“

“Surprisingly good! My picky friend also complimented this place. The veggies were really fresh and the kidney was processed well. Dishes were seasoned perfectly. Not too heavy like a lot of other restaurants. The experience was like dining at a high-end Taiwanese restaurant in Taiwan. Though the dishes were expensive, the price includes sales tax. I will still come back due to the quality and to support the business!“

“Very relaxed atmosphere, liked the sweet potato pizza.“

“Clean, friendly & attentive staff, lots of options for ingredients, good classic bone soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup but my favorite is the stir-fried spicy wok (麻辣香鍋)🌶️🌶️🌶️, so much that I’ve been coming here weekly.“

“It’s really good and the rolls are my favorites“

“Inside 168 supermarket, has good seating space, friendly staff like a food court. Food is heavily seasoned and flavored, on the salty side and price is not low, but well cooked like a street vendor, with the wok flavoring. Recommend get main dishes only, side dishes are expensive not pretty much the same ingredients as the main.“

“Been coming here when i have big parties as theres something for everyone.

Walked in and we got seated right away! I did go around 3:00 pm, so it wasn’t peak timing, I’m sure it’ll be busy at night since it closes at 1:00 am.

I came for a birthday celebration so ordered extra meats! We got lamb + beef. They’re very generous with their plates so it is worth it. So many options here so i was happy that everyone in my party will have options to pick from.

Noodles - above the food selection to the left of the store. Look up and grab. Feel free to ask the staff if you cant reach it.

Food bar - vegetables, tofu, meats, mushrooms, seafoods! Lots of options.

Drinks - 3 drink options! Included! Their ice bucket is to the left of their drinks!

Sauces - included in your ayce!

Desserts - right of the drinks. Yes, they’re more asian desserts so keep that in mind.

Staff - very attentive. Even though this spot is ayce, they will still check on your soup level + fire.

If you want to take anything to go, they have a to go container for $10!

Parking - its a huge lot so you wont have problems finding parking“

“Love Casa Alvarez being going there since 1973 when I move to Rowland Hts I order my food to take out every body are very nice I go there very often so some of them already recognize my voice in the phone and know my name too THE FOOD IS ALWAYS DELICIOUS I NEVER HAVE NO PROBLEMS ME ENCANTA LA COMIDA MEXICANA THANK YOU GRACIAS 😊“

“Mian is a great spot if you love Chinese noodles. They offer a wide variety of noodle dishes from different regions of China, so you can really taste several styles in one place. It feels unique, modern, and the restaurant stays open late, which is probably why so many young people come here.

If you’re a noodle lover, this is definitely a fun and unique place to try. The prices are affordable, and the overall quality is solid. If you live in the Rowland Heights area, it’s worth stopping by at least once to check it out.“

“Just my daughter-in-law and me, spent our quality time well and satisfied. They were so delicious, except the pickles. We both planned to be back again.“

“Excellent food and superb service. I give them a 10/10!!!“

“Good service & food. I ordered pozoles and I enjoyed very much.“

“Clean , good service , good food and I like the happy hour they have different free drinks everyday! ! I like Rowland Heights big way good 👍!!“

“This little mom-and-pop noodle shop was such a great find! We stumbled in right around 8:30 PM, just before they closed, and ended up being the last ones there.
​Their noodles were honestly delicious. I mean, my nephew, who is notoriously picky, even complimented the shrimp noodle! The dandan noodles were a touch too salty for my personal taste, but everyone else absolutely loved them.
​Even though it was late, the service was great. We never felt rushed. I'm definitely going to be coming back whenever a noodle craving hits!“

“My hubby and my daughters celebrated my birthday at Ishi Sushi last night because I suggested going there, and we all liked their food. We ordered two (H4) orders of Chirashi, one (C12) una don (eel don), and I ordered (C13) the Chilean Seabass. The owners were very friendly. As we spoke with them casually, the lady knew it was my birthday yesterday. She said they would serve me a complimentary cake as dessert later. The Chirashi bowl had tuna (2), salmon (2), shrimp (1), white fish (1), yellow tail (1), albacore (1), uni (1), smelt egg (1), tamago (1), & salmon egg. The portions were good, and the fish was so fresh and delicious. My hubby and older daughter liked their Chirashi bowls. For the una don (eel served over the rice), my younger daughter also liked it so much. I liked my Chilean Seabass. It was served with salad and miso soup. The Chilean Seabass was fresh and flavorful with a tangy, sweet flavor. They provided a piece of lemon wedge, so I squeezed some lemon juice on it before eating. Then the owner brought us the Japanese Yuzu cheesecake. I was surprised that the owner gave our entire party slices of complimentary cake, rather than just one for the birthday person; mine even came with a candle. It was very generous of them. The Yuzu cheesecake was very delicious. The service was great, and they were very friendly.“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 3*

Stopped by here for dinner and we were not disappointed. All the food was fresh, tasty, and ample. We were a party of 8, so we ordered and good amount of food. Everything was great. The orange chicken was not as sweet as others and was really good.

Food break down:
The hot and sour soup was delicious, tasty and hit the spot.
The sliced fish in Szechwan sauce was fantastic. The fish was perfectly cooked and the heat was the right amount of spice and flavor.
The pork and cabbage dumplings were juicy and tender. I wished I ordered two orders of this.
The combination sautéed noodles was great as well. A good mix of pork, chicken, and seafood with a nice light sauce. Very tasty.
The pan seared green beans were delicious. Tender crisp with “the breath” of the wok which was slightly smokey. Always a favorite.
The combination fried rice was tasty and a good balance of flavors. For the rice lovers.
The braised eggplant was a surprise hit. Eggplant can be bland but this wasn’t. It had a nice blend of spice and flavor, and was a hit.
The beef with broccoli was delicious as well. Tasty and packed with tender crisp broccoli.

The service was great. The owner lady was attentive, helpful and gave good recommendations (sliced fish, hot and sour soup). The ambience was dated, but clean. No A/C made it hot while eating. All in all a great meal.“

“I love this taco truck! The service was amazing and everyone was so kind. My boyfriend accidentally dropped all three of his tacos right after getting them 😅 When he went back to order more, they asked if something was wrong with the tacos. He explained what happened and they offered to replace all of them! He insisted on paying for another 3, but when the order was ready, they surprised us with 4 tacos instead! 🥹❤️

Not only was the service incredible, but the tacos were so yummy full of flavor and cooked perfectly. This place is a must try taco truck! 🌮🔥 Thank you guys so much we were so happy and really enjoyed our tacos!“

“en general toda la comida esta deliciosa el rico menudo chile verde en general todo está riquisimo se los recomiendo“

“I love this place. I'm so glad we found it. The broth in the pho is so flavorful. Had me go back twice in one weekend lol the man who i assume is the owner is such a sweetheart and always has such a welcoming smile when you walk in. Definitely recommend this place.“

“I was at Dennys today with a friend and our server Yesenia was great she was fast and efficient apart from being the only person on the floor she was taking care of tables and also cashing out people all by herself food was great and delicious will be back soon.“

“The music playing was very relaxing“

“They carry a variety of different types of dim sum, always fresh and friendly staff“

“Very good home style meal. Not the cheapest, but good valued meal.“

“We had a group of 11 people dining here today, and it was everyone’s first time visiting this restaurant. From the portion sizes to the flavors, every dish received unanimous praise.
A special shoutout to Roger, our server, who was incredibly attentive and fun. He noticed every detail, kept refilling our water glasses, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Even though we stayed and chatted for quite a while, he remained friendly and thoughtful the entire time. It’s rare to experience such excellent service in a Chinese restaurant!
The chef also did a fantastic job—every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared.
We’re so happy to have discovered New Garden as a wonderful new spot for gatherings with friends. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This little bakeshop is all about making delicious pastries, cakes, Taiwanese sandwiches and snacks. It's my go-to place for a quick n' yummy breakfast or tea party pastries. it's a traditional bakeshop, nothing fancy. But they know what they are doing. Their owner, Leo and I created a lot beautiful and delicious wedding cakes together. He is very easy to work with and will go the extra miles to meet your request. They are specialized in fresh cream cake with fresh fruit ingredients. And their price is really reasonable, too. This is definitely a hidden jewel in our neighborhood. Check out some of the wedding cakes we designed together.“

“Friday 8/9/24 Dinner at Golden Noodle & Grill in Rowland Heights. I’ve ordered #38 Roasted chicken on tomato rice. It is so crispy outside flavorful and tender inside; so delicious. This restaurant is a hidden gem which makes delicious Vietnamese foods with reasonable prices.

Long, service staff, was friendly and attentive to customers.

Van Huynh, restaurant owner & chef, has a great personality and cooks delicious Vietnamese foods. Dishes includes pho, broken rice, vermicelli, Chinese noodle soup, chow fun & mein, congee, Banh mi, Vietnamese deserts, milk shakes, and smoothies; all at a reasonable price. She took her time to greet me and even strike a pose for a photo which is posted on her Google map restaurant. Thank you Van!

The restaurant has nice decorations, clean, well lit, and well air conditioned on this warm day.

I recommend trying out this restaurant.

“Although there are so many authentic Chinese restaurants in the Rowland Heights area, This place is on the TOP. Beware of the huge portions though, don’t order too many entrees because you can’t finish them all! My favourites are clam soup and hot Chili pork, and the price is pretty reasonable too. I also like the fact they use portable wireless device for ordering and CC.“

“Great food esp their Nasi Bungkus“

“好吃，味道不錯吃，服務也不錯“

“Excellent place to enjoy Hong Kong style cafe food!
On weekends from 3PM-5:30PM, they offer an excellent afternoon team late lunch menu which is under $13!

Great wide selection of cafe style dishes, so filling you have enough for a snack later =]

We ordered:
Minced Beef & Egg on Rice - Very light savory in flavoring which is nice for lunch so you don't feel guilty. I had enough to take home to make more sunny side up eggs to enjoy it with

Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs - Comes with a large side of jasmine rice. The sour and sweet sauce is just right, not overpowering in flavor on one spectrum. There are bones on some of the ribs FYI. The sauteed vegetables is a great balance to the rib meat.

Baked Sole Fillet & Spinach in Cream Sauce - I chose pasta which hit the carb crave I was having. They had big chunks of sole fillet to balance the creamy sauce. I would recommend adding a bit of pepper if you want some adjustments to the flavoring.

The staff seated us immediately and provided their complimentary soup of the day, which was cream corn soup
Definitely coming back to enjoy more dishes in the near future =]“

“The hotpot I eat most often with friends is Lao Pier. The first time I ate flying pancakes was at Lao Pier. Now that I think about it, it still tastes delicious.“

“We always love Chinese bbq. So when we come to LA visiting our childhood friend we like to try Chinese bbq here in LA. We are so happy we did. Very cool place. The food is good. We had too so much fun! Will be back here if we come back visit.“

“My first time here, the bread was fresh and delicious, despite the comments here in maps I found the place clean and with good customer service, Uber bread was one of my favorites, all the ones we choose were of very good flavors and quality.“

“One of the best Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurants in Los Angeles.“
