“Overall I love authentic Taiwanese food and it has been harder to find even in SoCal these days, I guess business is hard and competitive.

I got bunch of dishes and they were all delicious and authentic. Prices definitely went up since pre covid days just like everything…sad. I would highly recommend this spot and wish they can get more dishes. They are basically full during a Thursday lunch time.
One thing pissed me of course is they no longer serve stinky tofu because neighbors’ complaints to the city. Come on man 2026 already, stinky tofu is authentic dish from Taiwan. I don’t see ppl banning stinky blue cheese or anything else in this country. Rant is over.

Go try this place.“

“Nostalgia, haven't been here for so long! Just as I used to remember it! The staff is super nice, the place is clean, and they have all the food we used to order.

We always get their 3 cup chicken , bamboo and spicy pork! The highlight is eating the porridge with the Yam inside!

Happy to return and will be back soon!“

We were able to bring our dog in and she laid in the sun, the owner brought her over a bowl of water and a doggy treat. We came on a Friday and it was very quiet and relaxing, the owner said the weekends are a bit crazy. You just don’t see this kind of place very often, must go!“

“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.“

My only issue is the chicken portion seems to keep getting a tad smaller with each visit. Probably more a sign of the times than an actual complaint.“

Hangang Korean restaurant Korean • $$

“Hangang in Temple City is a great spot if you’re craving Korean food! 🇰🇷 The inside has a very traditional Korean aesthetic that gives the restaurant such a cozy and authentic feel.

They have really good deals on their combo sets, especially for the amount of food you get. The portions are generous, everything was filling, and we definitely left satisfied!

But the cold noodles were the standout for me! 🍜 This is officially my new favorite spot for Korean cold noodles. So refreshing, flavorful, and definitely something I’ll be coming back for.

If you’re looking for Korean food with a traditional atmosphere, good portions, and great value, Hangang is definitely worth checking out!“

“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!“

“Sat in the bar area for Happy Hour. Great drink prices and generous wine pours. Two pulled pork sliders @ $10 was excellent, as were the garlic fries. Also ordered the wings, which were less of a bargain and did not include celery or carrots. Service was prompt and friendly. Volume was loud, and not helped by music from speakers and TV volume turned up over the bar.“

“Came here with fam for lunch on a weekend. It can be so packed at this place bc it va be very busy! This is very lowkey casual ambiance so no need to dress up.

Food is served within 10-15 minutes of ordering. Drinks can be added on for $2.50 when ordering meals and if you want to make it large they’ll tack on extra 88 cents. The drinks do take a while to come out especially the teas bc they’re freshly made behind the counter. Also, they seem to be so busy that it’s hard to flag down servers unless they’re brining food or drinks.

The food is quite alright here and as expected for a HK / Canto style palate.

Note they have 2 menus — one that is bigger and more extensive, and a simpler one (photos are of the simpler menu). Prices are fair for the size of the dishes (they’re not huge like other places but also most are under $15 a dish).

We ordered the following and all was tasty:
- sweet and sour pork ribs
- egg over friend rice and gravy (the kids loved it)
- seafood tofu clay pot
- beef w mushrooms stir fry
- yellow chicken

Restrooms: they’ve got 2 separate ones. Decently clean, thankfully.

Parking is FREE but quite difficult here in the plaza bc the lot is shared with so many other eateries in that McDonald’s plaza. So either you wait for a spot to open or take your car down the block and walk a little.“

“Lots of people say this is their favorite Taiwanese personal hot pot spot. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their honey milk tea, steamed veggies and spicy lamb appetizers, and new bak kuh teh pot to try. I brought my friend and she got their milk tea and iconic beef pot said it was really good. My honey milk tea was perfectly sweet and milky with plenty of jiggly pudding. The steamed veggies were soft and had a light pork flave. The spicy lamb was a bit spicy, cuminy, not too gamey but was a bit tough. The bak kuh teh had sweet savory garlicy flaves and was loaded with so many yummy things from their super tender flavorful yummy pork ribs, juicy frozen tofu, shiitake and seafood mushrooms, leafy napa cabbage, garlic, bouncy meatballs, imitation crab, corn, radish, tofu skin and vermicelli. It even came with a side of rice which I upgraded to their comforting umami beef tomato rice. Service here is on point And right now from June to July 12th, if you use my promo code ACMOO you can get a free appetizer! So definitely go check them out cuz this place no cap is pretty good!
