“Not salty, good HK food to bring parents to and hang out to catch up. Their desserts...warm ginger 🫚 milk, double milk pudding is real good. tofu W/ginger is silky.
Squab Claypot rice also good.
Chicken mushroom Claypot was good we came back twice in a week!“

“The food is priced on the expensive end, but that is to be expected for attraction food. Not that I minded anyway, because my entire meal was filling (the portion sizes are MASSIVE) and delicious. Well seasoned, served hot, and promptly arrived even during the height of a lunch rush. The atmosphere is unbeatable“

“Hard to say what was better between the staff and the food. The staff was extremely attentive and knowledgeable regarding the menu. They answered all the questions and provided extra information as well. We had the All You Can Eat and it was a fantastic decision, as we were able to try most of the menue. All dishes were amazing and we came out ahead vs a la carte. Highly recommended.“

“The food is really good and cheap, plus its a really good portion of it. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming and feels good to be there. The most remarkable thing its the service, it is a really nice and good service in every way, best service I've had so far and will definitely go back.“

“recently visited this establishment and was very pleased with the quality and service provided. we ordered my favorite live seafood like the lobster with ginger and scallion as well as the big mouth bass - very fresh and delicious! and we also enjoyed the steamed chicken,arctic surf clam,fillet mignon,etc.,so yummy! the customer service was also excellent. Highly recommend the filet mignon with asparagus and the steamed chicken (my go to orders), as well as the arctic surf clams. Very tasty and such a pleasant atmosphere .“

“I picked up a pack of 18 wings for a potluck and they were huge hit with the group! Half lemon pepper and half garlic parm. The wings were juicy and the flavors were great. I also like how the order came with sauce and veggie sticks included. I'll definitely be ordering wings from here again.“

“Very good customer service and vibes I love the decorations and how clean it is. The ramen and potstickers were very filling and definitely worth trying. I keep coming back for the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the sushi was not very good especially for the price...

Another complaint I have is the chopsticks feel very cheap and hard to work with plus $2.50 for a can of coke isn't really something to look forward to with your meal

P.S. I'll definitely be back but I felt the need to give an honest review“

“We ordered Rose Teokbokki in first visit. I really loved it . Then we visited again to try the OG chicken Katsu and I really loved it. I would definitely go back for it. Portion size was very good for the price. Teokbokki size was huge. The service is very good .Very kind staff and customer friendly. I loved the ambience and the local Korean vedios running in the television which made me feel like I was in South Korea. The staff gave us miso soup as complimentary which I really appreciate. I would order it in my next visit as it was tasty. Overall I would definitely recommend for my friends and family.“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“We had a great dinner at Fujiya Ramen tonight! The food was delicious—especially the yakitori, ramen, and sake. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly.

What impressed us most was the service. There was only one server taking care of the entire dining room, but they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient. Even though the restaurant was busy, we never felt neglected.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food here! We had the Coconut Chicken Soup. The bowl is huge and the flavor is deep. Also got The Pad See Ew which was really good. The Chicken Eggrolls are so good too. Service was great. The food came out quick. Parking is tight but we found a spot. Highly recommend this place!“

“i bring all my friends here this is literally one of my og spots in the 626. get the big mouth pocket and sesame pancake, do not get the green scallion pancake. also don't recommend the sheng jian bao, but highley recommend the big mouth pocket and the black bean noodles zhajiangmian. love the auntie who works here she's always super sweet and takes care of us.“

“good. service the. Lady. snow. that's. does. my. pedi. she. does. a. good job“

“★★★★★

Urban Pocha was such a great find! The food was flavorful and satisfying, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall experience was fantastic. I’d definitely come back again and recommend Urban Pocha to anyone looking for a fun and tasty dining experience in Pasadena!“

“This is a delicious Chinese restaurant! Staff were really friendly and helpful. Parking is very limited because it is on a tiny lot but I came early so parking wasn't an issue. It appears there is free street parking. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. I had the Cheung fun with peanuts, Cheung fun with egg, shrimp fried rice, this green dessert, and tofu wrapped around rice roll. Everything was delicious. Cheung fun and tofu wrapped around rice roll were my favorite. The Cheung fun was thin and the sauce was so delicious! The tofu was crispy and it had some garlic inside and it was so delicious. The waitress brought out an extra sauce for my Cheung fun without me asking. They were very attentive. Restaurant was also really clean. I live in Thousand Oaks but needed to come into this area for business and decided to give this place a try. Well worth it and I will be back again next time I am in town. I also purchased another Cheung fun with peanuts to go and my daughters loved it and they are picky eaters.“

“Came across this place after a trip to the mall and it did not disappoint. Generous serving size of noodles and braised beef that was cooked to perfection and so full of flavor! Hand made sweet tea was also excellent! Will definitely be my new go-to for beef noodle soup. Highly recommend!“

“Ever since I tried their curry plate, this place has been my go-to—it's honestly delicious! I haven't tried anything else yet, but the staff is always kind and the service is super fast. My only minor complaint is that they recently changed their containers, so it feels like a bit less food, but honestly, can you blame them in this economy?“

“I have tried many roujiamos at many places around LA and the one i had here was the best by far. In addition i had the liangpi which was also good. Sometimes at night i dream about going to this restaurant again and in my dream, im trying the other things on the menu. The owner is also the kindest person!“

“I recommend for my friends and partners, a suitable place....nice meal🥰“

“This Chinese skewers place is a great place to eat at. Their variety of skewers both in meat and veggie are diverse. They also have a mild and spicy version (mala) and a none spicy for all levels of enjoyment. The spicy sliced potato, corn cheese and enoki mushrooms were great. Their Sapporo pitcher special for $10 was also a great deal.

Overall the meat and marinade was great and the special items such as chicken heart and pork skin was crispy and good. The service was decent if you waived the staff down. We got all our orders in a timely manner. The vibe is kind of loud but enjoyable time with friends and family. Bring a shirt you don't care to smell as the cooking will stick onto your clothes.“

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

“Hidden gem, their beef chow fun has that signature “wok hei” char. Also, authentic Cantonese cuisine outside the SGV? Sign me up. This place deserves to be packed even though I want to keep it a secret. I recommend their claypot rice, beef chow fun, shrimp scrambled eggs with rice, Canto-style fried chicken…quite a lot of their dishes actually. The chef has worked in other legit restaurants in the SGV before like Delicious Food Corner.

Small strip mall parking, limited spots but I had no problem parking there.“

“A typical fancy omakase meal that I’m not sure if I would come back.

The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat).

I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part … and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense“

“Viviana really makes the atmosphere an amazing experience. Her customer service and attention to detail is a 10 out of 10. She remembers when i bring my party of friends and welcomes them with a smile. She goes above and beyond and im greatful to have her as a server.“

“FANTASTIC Thai food! We have lived in the area for 8 years and recently decided to give BTC a try. The food is fresh, very good portions, every dish was superb (we particularly loved the fried rice and egg rolls). We will definitely be putting this restaurant into our regular rotation. Good stuff!“

“Vegan review:

The food quality is really great. Tastes fresh and crunchy and its really good. I got the vegetable roll and it was good. Only reason for 4 stars is price. For what it is and where it is and how much was in the roll, especially it being only vegetables, it was quite expensive. I mean not too much but for the price a larger quality would be better.“

“Almuchow boasts of offering “Filipino comfort food” in Blossom Market Hall - and they have all the Filipino comfort staples on the menu such as chicken adobo, various versions of Pansit, and of course lumpia!

Since I adore lumpia I couldn’t resist grabbing an order - and I was not disappointed. Definitely a solid choice for lumpia in the area (it’s called Lumpiang Shanghai on their menu). The pieces are small but quantity is more than ample. And they come with a sweet/sour sauce.

The lumpia were nice and crisp on the outside and smooth on the inside with great flavor and not greasy. We also tried to order some chicken adobo but they were sold out - will have to try and catch it again next time bc it looks great.

Prices are reasonable and service was efficient and pleasant. We were a little bothered by the fact that the cook and other food handlers weren’t wearing gloves and were touching their faces and the money while also handling food - we almost didn’t order there bc of it but gave it a shot anyway lol. Otherwise everything was great.

Almuchow is towards the back of the market hall. Order at the counter and they’ll give you a buzzer. The vibe are lively and inviting with lots of seating options and promising dessert choices once you’ve finished your dinner. There’s plenty of free parking on site.“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“Not every meal has to be at the trendiest restaurant.

Sometimes all you need is a classic Hong Kong cafe, a table full of comfort food, and a game playing in the background.

We stopped by JJ Hong Kong Cafe in Monterey Park and tried their Curry Combination Rice, Beef Brisket Lo Mein, Baked Pork Chop Macaroni, Deep Fried Cornish Hen, Fried Chili Turnip Patties, and French Toast.

The French Toast with ice cream was easily one of the most memorable dishes on the table. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for sharing.

The atmosphere felt old-school and casual — the kind of neighborhood spot where people come for a relaxed meal, late-night cravings, or to catch a game with friends.

“Honestly, I just DoorDash this because it looked healthy and well balanced. And I’m so glad that I did! I got the protein packed bowl which had tofu, shredded chicken, and shredded beef and it was just pure deliciousness. I’m not really fond of tofu much, but there was so much flavor packed into each tofu bite. It was hard to not love and crave.

I also got the Wagyu bowl and that was equally as delicious!! Every bite is an addictive burst of flavor.“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención!💯“

“Today we had grilled fish at Liu Roast Fish (San Gabriel). The two of us ordered a mildly spicy black cod. The flavor was authentic, and the fish was very fresh. It had great color, aroma, and taste, really whetting the appetite. The staff were friendly, gave detailed explanations of the menu, and the environment was clean and comfortable. Whenever we come to Los Angeles, California, this is the restaurant we must visit to enjoy a feast.“

“Great bakery tucked away in a small trip mall on Las Tunas and Mission. Although small, the baked goods are so good here. They are also very creative with their pastries. This is the only shop I can find gigantic pineapple buns. One of the bun here equals to probable 4 to 5 regular buns that you would typically find at dim sum. They can also custom made cakes from 6 inch to whatever sizes you want with various different flavors and designs. We just ordered a 6 in chestnut cake with rose flower decoration for my mom's birthday. Order was done efficiently and timely. We ordered the cake one day before and was able to pick it up by next morning. I also like their Chinese pastries. One of my favorites is their Portuguese egg tart or Pastéis de Nata as they called the Custer in Portugal. The skin is so crispy and the egg tart filling tasted so good. I just can't stop eating them. Probably I have to run a couple of miles the next day to burn off the calories. There are so many great pastries here. I just have to come back to try them all. The owner is so friendly and she is always very helpful to introduce us to new products.“

“This is my new favorite hang out spot for popcorn chicken. The prices are very very good and drinks are decent though. The drinks are very sweet so make sure to adjust the sugar levels. Everybody and their mamas out here so it does get very busy so be patient. They only have 2 workers.“

“I come here usually every morning. The food is not like usual chinese take out in a way that its not super greasey but actually healthy with a good amount of variety. They also give soup as a side.

The lemon tea is also awesome for one buck.“

“HATS OFF TO THEE BEST HIBACHI IVE EVER HAD!! Never Disappoints and I look forward to going every week! Taste is Amazing and FRESH!! They need to open a restaurant man!! That Spicy Mayo with Chicken and shrimp plate is a MUST !! And Customer Service is Top Tier Always!! Thank you HibachiLA
10 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ !!!“

“Had a Taro Milk Tea. Satisfies a craving and not too bad for the price. Have been here years so familiar with the drinks and they won't be a must have. Just moreso convenient and accessible. Keep in mind they prefer cash, using credit requires a $.50 charge.

Parking: Small plaza. But decent amount of parking for a quick stop.“

“Always a great time at Big Ma’s Kitchen. It’s my go to place when I’m in the sgv area. Food is great, service is great, and it’s affordable. The owner is a very nice and sometimes remembers me when I come by. I’ll definitely be back.“

“We had excellent tempura shrimp, egg rolls & chicken fried rice here! It was so tasty! We enjoyed it immensely! The last time I had tempura shrimp was in Japan, and it was exceptional. This tempura wasn't far behind. We will definitely be back!“

“Love all the food and the drinks are great too. Just afraid it will get too busy at lunchtime and no seat for me! :)“

“This is the Greatest Place for Home Maid Flavoraful Dishes and Most GINGER BOBAO...My Eliza CELESTIAL SKIES ;D“
