Comfort Food Restaurants near San Gabriel, CA

“Food is fantastic here, parking is easy, service is good. The only issue is things sell out here, FAST. Past 6pm you better ask if they still have the menu items you want before going in. heck a lot of times they'd be out of rice of all things.“

“Family and I have been coming here for ages. Yeah some things are pricy, but most have decent portions. Food a little bit on the greasy side though. I like their braised tofu most. Their porridge is good with big chunks of yam! Parking can be a bit difficult to find at times.“

“The Best Taiwanese Hotpot place in Socal.“

“Y’alllll I’ve been dying to go here and lemme tell you, it did not disappoint!! WOW so good, so much flavor. The Goat Roti was recommend to me, and when an employee says it the best thing on the menu, I believe them! Amazing combination of flavors. Absolutely coming back to try everything else on the menu 10/10“

“Really fabulous experience. We were visiting and stumbled upon this place by accident because the smell caught our nose. Service was great, and the chef was excellent and kind. He does a rotating menu based on the seasons so ingredients are seasonal and very fresh. The dishes were refreshing, flavorful, interesting and not too heavy. We ordered the waldorf salad, grilled sourdough (so good), tuna crudo, aguachile, and risotto (amazing). Wanted to try the griddle cake but they were out. Also you must get the strawberry shortcake for dessert if its in season, we ate it so quick and savored every bite. Thank you to the team at Holy Saints, we’ll be back!“

“Located in a vibrant neighborhood, Oyster Dive Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a unique twist on seafood classics. The crispy Cajun fries with cheese are a standout appetizer, perfectly seasoned and crunchy, making them an irresistible starter. The lobster pasta features fresh lobster, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for both casual outings and intimate dinners. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. However, it's worth noting that the restroom could use more attention; cleanliness was a bit lacking during my visit. Despite this minor drawback, the delicious food and pleasant surroundings make Oyster Dive Bar a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. Overall, Oyster Dive Bar earns four stars for its tasty dishes, friendly service, and comfortable ambiance. With a few improvements in cleanliness, it could easily become a five-star dining destination.“

“We stopped in from Ohio and ate, and it was the best chicken parm we have ever had. We got the chicken parmesian poutine and the Philly cheese steak sandwich and split it, and there was more than enough for two people. I would definately return here.“

“So good and affordable, made me love chinese food more them before. I wish I came here sooner since its 5 minutes away from me. Everthing is handmade and and i defintely recommend this place to anyone whos interested. the steamed buns bread was soft and the inside was very juicy.“

“I’ve been 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Service and food is fantastic! Highly recommend Smitty’s Grill.“

“The bolo bao ice cream sandwich was the bomb! I had it with ube ice cream. The garlic fries - lots of fresh garlic with a side of bomb lemon aoili and house sauce! The best! Passionfruit green tea was perfect for the hot weather! So cute inside too! It's a smaller space and a one man show. Everything is made fresh so please be patient - it's worth the wait! Great service! It's a hidden gem to the right of BofA in the plaza. — at CrispyandFluffed.“

“Best Bar in Whittier!! Amazing bartenders!!“

“Absolutely insane. Chicken was extremely flavorful, juicy, crispy n spicy, all the same time. Asked the guy if 3 fingers would be enuf for me, he said it was small, so I ordered combo #4, 6 fingers. Boy, they r massive and come with a tub of fries, couldn’t finish them all, could only eat abt 5. But it was top notch taste, probably top 2 chicken I ever ate.
And yea, the spicy flavor is spicy enuf; don’t get it if u r lightweight. If u want supreme, u have to sign a waiver. ?“

“Chicken and beef pies I have loved most of my life. Still great !!!!!“

“very good comfort food that you can really dig into<3“

“Basically “Chipotle” for udon but WAAYY BETTER. With that in mind it’s really cool they make your food in front of you as you pick out items. It was a bit of wait on the weekend, and add ons can get pricey. I loved the cleanliness and overall vibes. Jason was on top of it from helping people and cleaning up. I feel better about ordering when staff like him actually know the menu. GET THE CURRY NIKUTAMA SO YUMMY!!! Even tasted great when i took leftovers home. (Thanks for the recommendation Jason)“

“I saw a Groupon for Lobos Truck the other day and I had to buy it. It was $13 for 2 entrees and 2 drinks! What a steal! They stop by in front of my work building every now and then so it was pretty convenient for me to check them out.The Chinook: 1/3 lb. American-Kobe beef burger with garlic aioli, cheddar, lettuce, and tomato on a fresh Brioche bun. The burger was nothing special - just average. It was cooked medium rare as requested and it was well seasoned.OG Wachos: With everything. What are Wachos you ask? Waffle Fries + Nacho Toppings = Wachos. Came with Avocado, Cheese, Onions, and much more. It was amazing. The waffle fries were crisp and flavorful and it went well with all the toppings. I wish there was some heat to it though!“

“Very friendly & inviting environment!
It is December just prior to Christmas and of all the visits my friends and I have made to dine at Dish,
This was the absolute BEST meal of all time here. Very fresh! Each different entree prepared to perfection! Dish is always dependable, but each of us commented on how good each entree was this time.We felt that the wait staff person truly needed help, but she managed quite well considering that she was all alone. Might have been change of shifts.“

“Bay Island continues to be a good choice for your Hong Kong Style cafe. With familiar Cantonese dishes, they are still a local favorite as seemingly there is a small resurgence.

Their menu is very complete with noodles, stir fry, clay pots, and some nice traditional entrees. Rice is served plenty without that single bowl service that other restaurants annoying do.

Drinks however are served in plastic disposables, but you can't enforce environmentally friendly practices everywhere.

The service is typical and fast. The value is exceptional along with Cantonese flavors that are not overly seasoned.“

“The food tastes nice, the sauces are the best!
The place is pleasant, and the service is professional. My favorite place for late dinner or lunch.

*I wish the meal looked great and beautiful like the graphic photos in the menu and posters.

In general, I always have had great experiences here in terms of service and taste of the food and drink.“

“Perfect portion for one person. The free tea was a nice touch too!“

“We were recently passing through Pasadena and boy, did Yelp come through for us when picking a place to eat! Craft by Smoke & Fire in Old Town Pasadena ended up being the perfect choice. It was a beautiful evening and we opted to sit outside. We were lucky enough to have Stephanie as our server…and also lucky to be there during happy hour – you gotta love a 2 for 1 drink special! It was hard to choose between all the craft cocktails, but we ended up ordering Lulu Lemons which were excellent! I play mixologist when entertaining at home, and when I expressed interest in recreating this drink for our friends, Stephanie was kind enough to share the recipe! The menu is full of yummy Texas-style BBQ options made from locally sourced meat, and it was hard to choose. We landed on brisket grilled cheese with a side of mac & cheese (can you have too much cheese?!) and a harvest brisket salad. Both were so delicious. The outside table area was pretty full and although she was covering a lot of tables, Stephanie was knowledgeable when guiding us through the menu, super attentive and personable to boot! We look forward to returning…and to checking out their Anaheim location as well!“

“This is the 2nd time I frequent this establishment and it doesn’t disappoint. The food is delicious and fairly priced. The customer service is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I highly recommend it.“
