“Read about this place in the paper. Bae and I are always saying things like "we should explore the culinary delights of the sgv" but are often intimidated because we don't speak Chinese and have little familiarity with the cuisine beyond the white people Chinese restaurants of our respective coasts (she east, me west). We ordered from the internet even though we were there because we had our dog with us. The noodles were extremely, extremely good, the other ingredients (beef, chicken, veggies) were pretty standard. If i was to return I just get noodles straight up, I feel like the other stuff just distracts from the main event. Bae couldn't eat hers because she comes from a place (new england) where people say stuff is too spicy because there is PEPPER in the dish. Like, the pepper you have at your house. I cooked a dish with pepper once and her mom wouldn't eat it for that reason.Also the service was good, they actually called us because they were out of something we ordered and wanted to make sure they gave us a refund or something else.Unless you are a monster two people can split one dish here, any dish. If you order more than one dish per two people left overs are a given. Also, we drove around for an hour before we got home and the food was still warm.Vegetarian options: Noodles! Tofu!Dietary restrictions: Gluten!Parking: Free lot in the shopping plaza but lots of venerable people entering and exiting so be careful.

“2023.09.16 \First visit/Originally, I wasn’t very interested in eating noodles in LA, but Flavor Noodles changed my mind. This time I ordered fatty beef noodles in sour soup, Sichuan style fat intestine noodles, and red oil noodles. I can’t choose which one is more delicious, I like them both! Looking forward to ordering something else on my next visit that I didn't have the stomach for this time.2024.01.09\Second interview/I finally had the opportunity to visit for a second time, but today I was a bit disappointed. I ordered beef noodles with raw pepper, Sichuan-style fat intestine noodles, and red oil noodles. The Chao Shou was more delicious than the last time I had it, but the taste of both bowls of noodles was a bit bland. Last time the sausage was very full, but today it looks thin. The beef noodles with raw pepper are quite spicy. Will be willing to visit again to see if today was just an anomaly, but will order back the beef noodles in sour soup next time.Recommended: Fatty Beef Noodles in Sour Soup“
“Looking for authentic Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine?There’s a hidden gem in San Gabriel that’s worth trying. They have some really spicy dishes but if you’re like me and can’t handle too spicy, they have some wonderful non-spicy options. Check out their lunch specials!Andrea, Jessica and the rest of the staff are wonderful with customers! They are so welcoming and attentive, treating everyone like friends and making the customers feel at home.They have separate rooms available and are perfect for parties as well. I love the outdoor patio area!Now, let’s talk about the food…Everything was absolutely delicious!! Big portion sizes as well. It was enough to feed me and my 2 boys and still have some food to take home. The Smoked Duck was tender and succulent! The Lamb Chops were fall off the bone tender and so flavorful! Love the crispy texture of the Stir-Fried Noodles with Beef. You can get them soft or crispy. The Diced Beef Tenderloin was our favorite!! So juicy and perfectly cooked! Great balance of flavors!There’s a small parking lot so you may need to park on the street. At first I wasn’t sure if I was at the right place, but it was lol So, if you just follow the directions, you’ll find it.We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back!“
“100% recommend this place. Ordered: -Potato Noodle -Fried Chicken Pro: -Potato noodle was really good. Chewy and savory. We got the seafood meatballs but they also have a beef one. The broth was spicy and not too heavy tasting. -The chicken was savory sweet, a bit sticky and a delight to eat! There are a lot of bones and the meat is slightly chewy which makes a pleasant texture. -Interior was clean, bright and cute -Plenty of parking inside the structure -Price is reasonable Con: -No credit card payment under $30“
“From left to right and top to bottom, passion fruit lemonade, lychee lemonade, three flavor dumplings, pork shumai, 2x pork xiao long bao, chicken pot stickers, minced pork noodles, spicy wontons and wood ear mushroom.I would say pork xiao long bao doesn’t beat DTF. I think the experience of slurping the soup from the xiao long bao in a spoon is a experience you can’t take away and I did not feel that same experience eating the dumplings from Hui Tou Xiang. Don’t get me wrong, the food is still good and the chili oil is a must try, so it’s a place to stop by if you’re in the area.“
“I have been wanting to try Newport Seafood & we went for my birthday.Great quality food & service. Very comfortable homely feeling. We are looking to come back with a larger group so we can order more things. The portions are large.We ended up getting the Newport crab which I think is a great value compared to the lobster. You can also add noodles to it for $10.Followed that by salt and pepper. Shrimp we picked this one because you get the whole shrimp and the head which I really enjoy.Beef loc lac was our closing.Don't forget to get the tea very inexpensive and a great addition to this wonderful meal.“
“A very good place if you want to try out Henan food, reasonably priced, not many choices, check the food before you go. But I bet most of the customers are the same people who go there often. Like it.Look at the code dish, Enough for a big “
“12/22/2023 Delicious dumplings! First time here, recommended by son. Had the giant crab and pork, Wuxi Style Spareribs, stir fried bean seedlings, juicy pork dumplings (unsweet). Everything was delicious, the service was excellent. Came in at around 1:30 pm on a Friday, no wait, seated immediately.“
“the staff is so kind, and try to save you money by giving you the lunch combo if the dish you order is available in that form.we have enjoyed the bean curd sheets with mustard greens, eggplant, general tso's chicken (mushrooms), sizzling tofu, soft tofu with crispy beans, and ended with the sesame balls. what a delightful meal.“
“Absolutely love love love this place! Panda Express style with the cafeteria like displayed food - you make your selections and then sit yourself- only this place has a wait staff and unlimited rice or congee ( rice porridge) for the carb. Walking in you are greeted warmly- they ask if you want rice or congee - i always pick rice and the hubs gets congee, after which you simply choose from the beautiful variety of Taiwanese and Chinese dishes. Our choices were always the 3 cup chicken, sausage, the chinese broccoli, green beans, minced pork, pork belly, fried mackarel, bamboo shoots, bean curd and the eggplant. All of the dishes were so sooo flavorful! Truly one of our favorite spots! Everytime we come, we are too excited to eat that I constantly forget to take photos!!“
“My husband and I come every Sunday to eat a medium dry pot. Food is very good, the portions are huge and the staff is very friendly. We've tried almost every combination and everything is fresh and tasty.Parking: Don't even waste your time with upstairs parking. Park downstairs so you can hurry up and eat.“
“I have been coming here with my family since I was little and the food never disappoints. They have a small parking lot and the restaurant can get pretty busy sometimes so I always park on the street around the corner. I got the beef ball noodle soup and it was so good. Their soup is always so good and flavorful.“
“New local restaurant just opened 6 months. Give it a try. We ordered a Roti Canai with curry beef brisket. Indian curry base and paprika is added to enhance flavor. Roti Canai fresh made that is tasty but a bit oily. Taste of Hometown fried rice noodles is light which I like. They're not big portions. We added a Kaya Toast with butter. When this order arrived, the waiter recommended Taro French Toast that they smashed the taro and mix with condensed milk then spread on toasted bread. I will try next time. The price of breakfast menu is reasonable.? Support small local restaurant.“
“Ordered delivery via Doordash.The Hakka braised pork belly tastes good. The pork belly fat is tasty. Meat is tasty.And… utensils were provided!!! A big plus. The other $$$ restaurant I ordered food recently did not bother to include utensils.“
“I phone ordered to go for late lunch today on Friday, April/12/24. Order taker immediately thinks I can speak fluent Mandarin which I do. I ordered the Taiwanese sausage rice to go. I was going for Stinky Tofu, but they told me they currently don't offer that dish on the menu. I'm giving this place a 4.5 star review due to no stinky tofu....I'm not supposed to eat that junk but been craving that dish for awhile now.... Hope they bring back the stinky tofu! I'll update in the future when they will bring back the Taiwanese Stinky Tofu.“
“I like the soup base to be medium spicy, but it's really too salty. The bone soup base is okay. Everything else I ate today was okay, except that the shrimp I got was a bit not fresh. I told the waiter when I paid, but he didn't really respond to me. Yes, the bill was reduced later, and the bowls in the snack area were all used up when I came. I didn't see them replenished until I left. I will come again for the ice powder and red bean porridge.“
“a go-to chinese spot for late-night cravings. came here on an empty stomach one night and had one of my best chinese food experiences. mongolian beef, mapo tofu, and fried rice met my expectations! if you're looking for late night chinese food, this is your spot. prices were also reasonable.“
“The food was delicious and exquisite, with flavors and textures that left a great impression to me. And the staff were attentive and ensured every need was met promptly and professionally. Overall, it's a remarkable dining spot excelling in both food and service. Definitely would come again!“
“They've expanded out. Changed owners I heard at one point, but pretty good still!I do like that they put their to-go utensils in a plastic envelope. Feels more high-class, and easier to take out and use, without having to unbind rubber bands.Wish they were on GrubHub, but they're on other apps.“
“Recently discovered Ikka & their braised boneless chicken bowl is so good & super reasonable priced with the amount of chicken and side dishes they give like rice, shredded potato/ carrot and soup! Chicken is super tender and flavorful. Great to eat on a cold night!“
“The ladies are always nice when I visit and everything is good. I really like the curry bun, baked cha siu bao and pineapple custard buns especially. I've gotten the tins of shortbread cookies with various animals as gifts for my mom before. They're so cute. Had the best mooncake of my life here. Pretty expensive, I think it was $6 and was only about 3 bites! But wow, was it good and an adorable panda shape. It was strawberry yogurt filled. Perfect mini size as a small gift or to try various types.“
“Fantastic spot! Everything from the soup dumplings to the desserts I'm not even going to try spelling off memory, delicious! The seating and atmosphere was pretty nice, place is well decorated from decor to table. Good service too, would absolutely recommend!“
“I often dine at this restaurant, after all, I lived in Beijing for 20 years. Here, I can enjoy a variety of authentic Beijing street snacks. Although the taste may not compare to the local flavors in Beijing, it's still one of the Chinese restaurants in the US with a high level of authenticity.“
“Waitress was very attentive to their customers ' need, very friendly and kind, restaurant was overall clean, easy parking at rear, fried eggplant taste good, not very salty like other restaurants, other food were okay. Will come again because their services.“
“The flavor of all the dishes is really amazingly. The environment is clean and new. Bing care of dinner time since of the long line of waiting. The service they provided is really nice and alternate. They tried to serve the customer who come by chronological by change the table size. Definitely tried the steam egg and other dishes that not spicy because they are also really out of standing.“
“The portions are big. The foods here are authentic yunnan flavor. They have plenty kinds of sides. All of them are tasty. Beef dry pot is very spicy and awesome. The noodle in chicken broth's flavor is light but sweet. It's a chain store but very You can order authentic Yunnan cuisine with small side dishes. The portions are sufficient and go well with the meal. I also ordered Wu Geng Chang Wang and Dry Pot Beef Spicy and Delicious. The noodles with soy sauce are average but the same portion is sufficient. The overall taste is good. The store environment is very spacious but the floor is sticky.But suitable for dinner snacks or takeout, very authentic“
“I've been here twice now, and the restaurant is really growing on me. I used to pass by it a lot and thought there were no customers - turns out it's just that their parking lot is in the back and the front lot just remains inexplicably empty and unused.Unlike the sister Ho Kee restaurants that focus mainly on the BBQ and HK style dishes, this restaurant highlights their noodle soups with a separate menu you mark up with a marker, choosing noodle type, broth type, and meats. They also have a full menu of HK style dishes, much like the other Ho Kee locations.The service is also very good. One server held down the fort for the whole dining room, but he was friendly, attentive, great with refills (and even refilled our tea in a to-go cup at the end of the meal for us to take away!).I'll definitely be returning.“
“Wildly addicting, even for someone like me who doesn't handle mala spice well. You get quite a lot of chicken feet per order, and the added bonus is that there are few bones to deal with! Takeout only. Parking in this plaza is always a pain to deal with.“
“Hands down one of my favourite rice noodles place in LA! I always order different items on the menu and it never disappoints. There's nothing really super special about it. It's one of those places where it doesn't have fancy interior design / super great service - but their food and price make up for it and it's so worth it. The broth is really rich and flavourful and you can adjust the spiciness to your liking. It'd hard to find a good rice noodle place in LA imo but I'm glad I found this one : )“
“great restaurant for family gathering, the food delicious and the price so affordable!Recommended for those who love chinese food!Here some food I order, you might wanna try :No. 2 chicken with green onion n gingerNo. 14 baked pork chop w/ pepper saltNo. 21 braised pork belly w/2 preserved cabbageNo. 23 Sweet & sour pork w/ pineappleNo. 31 Fish fillet w/ pepper and saltNo. 46 Shrimp w/scramble eggNo. 49 Fried squid w/ pepper n saltNo. 76 seafood chow mien“
“This place is amazing! I came here starving! Ordered some dumplings and left happy! I ordered the pork wirh leek boiled dumpling, wonton in spicy sauce, and cabbage shrimp and pork boiled dumplings. They brought us some tea and I have ro say these dumplings are so good ! They didn't take long and I would come back here every single time. Check them out! I think this may be mybplace for dumplings for sure!“
“I thought this place was alright, nothing great but nothing bad. I'd say the spicy hotpot is on the milder side. If you want really spicy ones, go to LaoMaTou. I do however like the experience here. We got here at 2pm so not a lot of people, and our food came pretty fast. Lots of choices , comparable to HaiDiLao but much cheaper. Meat quality was good and the portion was good. 4 stars, recommend.“
“I love coming here for late-night munchies as they are open until 2 am. My personal favorite is their potato swirl, beef tongue, and calm with vermicelli. Decent environment and services. They offer unlimited free side dishes and desserts. Sometimes there are more and sometimes there are less option. I think they bring out more after 5 PM.“
“The food was fantastic. I ordered the Mongolian natural and spicy soup but it's just that the spicy one didn't taste spicy. The soup tasted amazing by itself. There were only 3 sauces provided: Sesame, BBQ, and I don't even know what that one was.The only con is just that with the price that they have I believe there are some better options out there, and they really need an actual sauce bar.“
“ACCESSIBILITY/PARKING: Located in a large plaza with lots of parking, no issue at all. WAIT: Got seated right away during 12 pm lunch rush on a Friday. AMBIANCE: It is a typical comfort food restaurant with booths and large round tables for larger groups. Music was playing at a reasonable volume, and we could hear each other at the table nicely. FOOD: Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin Stir Fried Udon: This was SOOO good, the meat was incredibly tender, and the black pepper sauce really came through with the perfectly cooked noodles! Personally, udon noodles should have a chewy bite throughout while maintaining it's shape and not falling to pieces. Beef Wrap: VERY yummy and had great seasoning on the beef, with good proportions of beef to cilantro. Juicy Pork Dumplings: MUST GET, very juicy and flavorful with the perfectly julienned ginger and chili oil Corn & Egg Soup: Thick consistency with great corn flavor - if you love corn, you NEED to try! DRINKS: We got hot tea which was tasty and complemented the food nicely SERVICE: Food came out fast and was responsive when we needed something. $: VERY affordable, with tip included for the above dishes and tea it came out to $64! They accept cash/card. OVERALL: DEFINITELY coming back to try more of their menu items! I enjoyed every dish which makes me excited to try everything else. The food was extremely comforting and tasty, nothing lacked flavor, and it was so affordable, how can you not love this place?“
“I came to eat on Monday during dinner time. There was no one in the restaurant, so the waiter asked me to choose a seat. I ordered Wenchang Chicken, which tasted good. There was an additional charge for swiping the card at checkout, but I was not informed at the time.“
“Specialty Chang Fun restaurant? Count me in! Their Chang fun had such amazing texture- it was thin but had that je ne sais quoi. It almost as good as the one in Flushing, NY but they have much more varieties of flavor here. I was expecting the typical umami sauce like at dim sum places so their milder sauce took me aback. I'm guessing it's because they want the ingredients to shine, which it really did. To order:They give you a menu picture, a pen, and a scratch paper. Each menu item has a number, which you write on the scratch paper and hand to the waiter to order. Got the:1) pork & shrimp Chang fun: 9/10- Delicious and lots of ingredients - shrimp was a great texture, I only wish it was a tad bit bigger2) The fish rice noodle was amazing: 10/10- the fish was very soft and tender and just falls apart in your chopsticks. - They also seasoned the fish really well with white pepper - would get again and again3) beef stew Chang fun: 8/10- looks like their beef stew is very popular because they have many items with beef stew and I watched him scoop some from a large vat 4) egg Chang fun: 8/10- great, I mean, It's eggs in rice noodle, what else is there to say?5) chicken Chang fun: 9/10- one word: scrumptious 6) Preserved egg and pork congee: 9/10- the theme of this restaurant has been amazing texture- and this congee had exemplary texture- it was perfectly thick and had lots of ingredients - it comes with some chopped veggies and cilantro- I only wish there was more cilantro - there's white pepper on the table if you want to add any Can't wait to come back again. They get a bonus in my book for playing 90's HK films on TV, lol.“
“Took my parents here on a whim. And we actually enjoyed it! I’m sure others with the bad reviews might’ve just went on an off day or got bothered by the language barrier. But my Thai parents and I would totally go back!Service - we totally couldn’t understand each other so there was just a lot of pointing and nodding. But, they got our order correct and they were still super nice! She even pointed out the sauce bar to me so I knew to go use it. Food came out fast.Food - I would definitely go back to try different noodles and their hot pot next time for sure! The fried rice was really good even more so after adding some of their sauces. I would probably skip the Special Chaozhou Platter next time, even though it was good and love eating those, you can just buy them and fry them on your own. The beef ribs were so rich and flavorful. Added some more sauce to cut the fatty richness but the meat was so tender and really good. Beef skewers were just okay to me. Definitely needed more of the seasoning sprinkled on them. Nothing was bad in any way, again - my family and I would absolutely go back to try more items and get more beef ribs!Parking - small little free lot! We got there early so we easily found a spot and we were to enjoy our dinner before a huge rush.“
“It’s SUPER delicious!!!!❤️I am originally from Chengdu, away from hometown for 3 years, this hotpot and Chuanchuan really makes me feel home! I heard from the lady boss that the chef is an old hotpot master in his eighties, it’s really authentic!I even brought the soup home for cooking?? There is no one else who packs hot pot base ingredients?Great service!Totally recommend!“
