“after eating here, i'm starting to understand how LA/SGV works... you gotta pay for a big meal, sit down, 'n enjoy. It's not a hustle 'n bustle snack on-the-way city.

I expected to eat the self-serving vegetables 'n rice, but that seems to have a door of it's own for take-out..?? then I tried to order a sandwich, but they were out.. maybe out of bread..? then i gave in and ordered a big meal, a soup: combination with yellow noodle.

amazing. simple. jam packed with all sorts of tofu and mushrooms. It's enough for two people. And then the lady gave out little dessert cups, like a green mung bean soup, on a hot day. this is one of them joints.“

“Super awesome to see, South El Monte has so much Asian foods and they are all delicious. A lot of people in South El Monte love Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese cultures and so the businesses in the area thrive. I also enjoy getting Korean BBQ meats in the South El Monte City or a nice hot meal at the Daikokuya Japanese Ramen place on Garvey. I noticed that a lot of people in Korean Town over in Los Angeles were starting to purchase up commercial real estate and launch businesses in South El Monte. In a recent merger and acquisition of a major grocery store business chain in South El Monte, it had become Korean owned as well and started to add many awesome products such as canned boba drinks. South El Monte is one of the most vibrant, diverse, and sweet pockets of hidden gem Asian foods in California and the San Gabriel Valley. When I go to school on the East Coast, I really miss it.“

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“This Taiwanese company sells vegetarian ham, bacon, fish or any soy made meat products. Although tasty, fake meat is only nice to have once in awhile, I think being vegetarian means that you have to eat more vegetables. Because they are wholesales store, you have to buy more to save.“

“My first visit here was a great experience! The cashier was friendly, which set a positive tone right away. The restaurant has TVs placed around the dining area, so customers can stay entertained while waiting for their food. I also loved that they let you pour your own condiments on the side, adding a nice personal touch. The food was ready in just 10 to 15 minutes, which was impressively quick. Overall, I highly recommend this place, especially their Super Fries—they’re a must-try!👍“
