Restaurants in Temple City

“Delicious Chengdu never disappoints. I love their pork with shishito peppers, and the mapo tofu was divine as always. Delicious Chengdu is my favorite restaurant in the SGV.”

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour”

“If you’re craving an authentic bowl of Beef Noodle Soup, this is it. The broth is infused with peppercorns, giving it an incredibly bold, numbing aroma that takes me straight back to those nostalgic Taiwanese military village (Juancun) flavors. It’s rich, punchy, and unlike any other broth in LA!
I love that the Lu Wei (braised delicacies) is served as its own standalone dish. You can really taste the mastery of seasoning in every bite of the beef and tofu.
To round it all out, you have to order the Radish Chicken Soup. It’s crystal clear and carries that perfect, natural sweetness from the daikon. It’s the ultimate palate cleanser after the tingly heat of the beef noodles. Perfectly balanced and so comforting!”

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味”

“Everything is vegetarian and they also have milk and bubble teas also. Free parking in a huge shopping mall. Clean and beautiful interior. When so much of San Gabriel and Temple city are non-vegetarian places, this is very refreshing to know that it is an all vegetarian restaurant. Thank you very much for providing the service for those who don’t like to eat meat or harm any animals.”

“Surprisingly spacious inside! They do have a rear lot, but street parking is probably your best bet. It’s definitely more of a social hangout than a quiet study spot, but the layout works well. Despite the crowd, service was efficient, I had my two drinks in less than 10 minutes. The peach oolong was a pleasant surprise and better than expected.”

“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.”

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.”

“Omg! The lemon pepper boneless wings are to die for! So delights they are addicting, yummy, great service and affordable”

“I’ve been wanting to try Marko’s for a while. My brother and I had lunch there today. We were not disappointed. I ordered Nopales & Eggs, my brother ordered French Toast & Eggs with sausage and bacon. The food was so fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to try the other items on the menu. The service was very friendly and attentive. Marko came and introduced himself. He gave us a brief talk on how they pride themselves on serving fresh and authentic food. Recipes from the abuelita. Definitely coming back.”

“How does this place have no reviews? Probably the greatest hot pit in Houston. Different levels of Wagyu. Includes many sides seafood drinks desert it’s just awesome. Great service. Great vibe. Amazing place. Keep up the good work.”

“Bathroom was clean and smelled good despite the frequent traffic. I have never had anything but pastramis and fries from the hat but the turkey burger was recommended by my aunt.

I am not a fan of turkey or turkey burgers but I tried it anyway. It was delicious and juicy. Probably the best burger I’ve had all year.”

“Great food, fast service. Sign up for their automatic text and get food deals. Worth the saving. They have multiple locations so easy access to all restaurants.”

“Facility is clean. Raw meat is decent. It is better if there is more selections of meat and veggi. Cooked food and side dishes are good. Free soda. Price is reasonable for the food offered. Helpers are attentive.”

“I Couldn't find a solid review to help me order but its so close to home i took a chance. Saw a Bulgogi beef on the menu which is a familiar Dish to me so i quickly ordered That and decided to sit down. A couple of minutes later, and i have a Nice Healthy bowl of Rice Topped with a heap of BEEF! It was delicious! Thank YOU!”

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋”

“I have gotten takeout from here before but actually got to dine in recently when I came here for lunch on a weekday with some coworkers. It was full inside but luckily, a table was leaving so we got our table without a wait.

We ordered the Beef Rolls, Signature Green Onion Bread, Stir Fried Onions and Beef, and some vegetables. It is a small restaurant that is family style so only one server and the food wasn't served that quickly especially since it was full inside. The food was ready around 20 minutes after ordering.

The portions are all decent and looked delicious. The beef rolls were very good, crispy skin and not stingy with the beef inside. The signature green onion bread was also very good, texture is the perfect balance of hard and soft. The only thing was that the vegetables and the stir fried beef was oily. Both tasted good but very oily.

Overall, still a great place to go with friends or family. I recommend the beef rolls. They tasted very authentic.”

“Muy satisfecho con la atención para ser mi primera vez en ese lugar muy rico o comida y todo excelente Muchas felicidades a todos”

“The most delicious crepes that you will ever eat in California.
If you have tried authentic Japanese crepes (in Japan), these taste exactly the same!!
All of the staff is super friendly and their service is quick.”

“This taco truck is hands down my favorite spot.
• Lengua: Not diced, but served as a thick slab with the perfect balance of flavor and chew. If the world ended tomorrow, this would be on my last meal list.
• Nachos with everything + carne asada: The asada, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and cheese hit perfectly with the round nacho chips. Add the creamy salsa verde and every bite is on point.
• Pastor: Juicy, consistent, and never dry. Exactly what you want when the late-night munchies hit.

I haven’t made it to the seafood yet because my go-to orders are too good, but I’ve seen people rave about the fish tacos. Staff is always welcoming and friendly. Just remember to bring cash for tips. Parking is easy on the street or library during non business hours.”

“Great food. Love their Banh Mi and Spring Rolls.”

“😘😘😘😘😘The taste is very good.”

“Martinis have hair in the vodka. Not good for business. Bartender is rude”

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente”

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.”

“Fries were perfect, and burger was great. It was my first time here, & I love in-n-out, but some locations are hit-or-miss when it comes to the fries. Burgers are always great across all locations. Only downside at this one is the parking lot is tiny, with only four spots, while three of them appeared to be taken by employees. This is mostly a drive-thru type of Location, but there are outdoor seats and tables under a larger roof. (Not the small umbrella kind that some have) There are two unisex restrooms that are clean and kept safe with entry code.”

“Great local hangout! The regulars are fun and the bartenders are entertaining! Great service too!🥰😍😘”

“It's a cute family restaurant. Great tentative service. I recommend for 2 people or plus since the dishes tends to be a bit bigger for family to share .

Also, they do have a private room to have a good time with the family or friends privately”

“Hit the drive thru. Ordered a surf and turf burrito, which is basically a shrimp burrito with asada. I asked for crema in it but I think they forgot or put too little, but it was still delicious. Been coming here for decades and food is always solid.”

“If you eat the Qinzhen rice noodles here, you will no longer miss home, or you will miss home even more! Soft and chewy, the aroma of chili oil will make you linger!”

“This old shop is very delicious and cheap. 50 pieces of leek, fish, and dumplings are only $20. 50 pieces of cabbage, pork, and meat are only $16. The haggis soup is only $18.99. The fish casserole is only $21.99. Everyone is welcome to try it. Pass the password. It’s delicious😋 face to face.”

“This is one of our go to Ramen places in San Diego, we love it! Our kids love it for the free ice cream at the end!”

“Very nice ice cream. Rich flavors and smell so good. Also, one scoop is very big. :)”

“Ordered beef needle, shanxi knife cut fried noodles and saliva chicken. Flavor is 100% what you get in Taiwan. Price and portion is not bad! Recommend all dishes.”

“This place is REAL good! Small space, but VERY wonderful staff, and extremely good food at a decent price, tucked away in a small corner that people easily pass by, if they don't bother stopping in. But hey, that's just their loss.”

“Small family owned business, super super tasty and worth it. In the span of 7 days, we ate here twice. Everyone is very nice, and considering it is like one person (big respect) in the kitchen, everything is made super fresh and quick comparatively. The 3he house noodles, beef noodle soup, cat eat noodles are all very tasty and the noodles have good texture. The popcorn chicken is also good but lacking 椒盐 for my taste but that's fine because I can add more at home or dip in the sauce.”

“Amazing cuisine and service”

“The food here is pretty good! My friends and I got the Bulgolgi Poutine, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Honey Garlic Wings. I definitely recommend the honey garlic wings, it's super good! The service was great as well-- our server was so sweet and kind, she made sure we were okay. The place is somewhat spacious, there's lots of tables there!”

“I stopped by El Super Burrito Jr. on a Tuesday and tried the menudo—honestly, it was really good and super tasty. Rich flavor, tender meat, and just the right amount of spice. Definitely one of the better bowls of menudo I’ve had in a while. I’ll be back for sure.”

“All of the complaints about this place are the competition. The food, and the overall prices are a bargain indeed! The menu is old school delicious!!”

“my friends and I come here every Tuesday before the bowling league starts across the street at Action Lanes.

I love this spot. The owner and his son are super kind and you can tell they love their craft.

The Asada Fries/Nachos are my favorite, but the battered fish and shrimp tacos are a very, very close second.

My go-to order every week is a pina y limon agua fresco with one fish taco and a plate of asada fries.

Recently though, I was recommended a shrimp plate that absolutely slapped. Ate half before bowling and saved the rest for next day's lunch.

These guys DO NOT SKIMP. I feel like very mexican place in LA gives you like 15% protein and 85% rice and beans. Here, they give you at least 60% protein with rice and beans on the side to complement the meal.

Absolutely phenomenal”

“Boba options are plentiful and there are several food options as well. I live their tomato and pesto sandwich, but you'll have to be aware that it takes time for the food to be made. Every time I order food, it takes about 20 minutes to almost an hour sometimes to get the food.
If you're able to call in advance for pickup, I'm not sure if it will be any faster. I typically order the teas without boba since it's already quite sweet (and delicious). Would recommend if you want to study or do your work here. It's a lot quieter than Starbucks, unless people are talking.”

“customer service and delicious tea ! love this place!”

“Great friendly local bar and grill. Extensive menu, great Taiwanese food.”

“Came here on a Tuesday night for some dinner with family since we've been wanting to try this place for a while. Its located in a small plaza that is a bit hard to see unless you look carefully when driving by. But this is the only restaurant here so there's plenty of parking. It was pretty empty when we came so we got seated right away. They have a good amount of tables and the interior is nice.

Their menu is not that big so it's wasn't too hard to decide what to order. They do have some pricey items here though. We got the Galbi Seolleongtang (25.99), Bulgogi Bibimbap (21.99), Tonkatsu (19.99), and Yangji Seolleongtang (17.99). They were served pretty quick and they also gave side dishes. The side dishes were actually pretty good and has free refills. The bibimbap was alright, tasted like other bibimbap places. The Galbi seolleongtang has two large galbi in it and the soup and meat are nicely seasoned. As for the regular seolleongtang, it is on the bland side since you need to add your own salt and pepper. It also has some vermicelli with it. But the seolleongtang was pretty mid. The tonkatsu had some good sauce on it and was crispy and not too dry or hard to chew. But I have had better tonkatsu before. The portions are all reasonable for this price and economy though and we enjoyed it. I just thought the seolleongtang would have come with rice but I guess this place doesn't do that.

I think this is an authentic Korean place to try since they do have a good assortment of soups and other entres to order. The only thing was I did notice some small gnats flying around while we were eating. It wasn't a lot but it did bother me a bit. This isn't a spectacular place I would crave but it is a decent spot.”

“The red salsa and green is absolutely delicious!!! Friendly girls/women working there...delicioso hardshell crispy fried real BEEF taco's with guacamole and I love the Taquitos, the beef one... thats my favorite, you can also get them with chicken or potato, many things to choose from, all very delicious, if I could give a shout out to Rosie...a sweet Girl and a BiG hello to Joe!! YOU ALL ARE FANTASTIC THERE AT PEPE'S IN SAN GABRIEL!!!
Great food well-made and fantastic portions...very filling food...clean station where you help yourself to your flavorful salsa and great selections of drinks to choose from...LOVE PEPE'S!”

“They have a great selection of bakery goods. I got the pandan sponge cake and it was just the right amount of sweetness and very moist. The lady who helped me was also very sweet. Give this place a shot. Good prices and i love their sponge cake!”

“Food is delicious. There is plenty of variety to choose from. Though I did not get to see the full menu. I only ordered from what was available in front of me. There is plenty of parking. Place was full. There were other families dining in while I ordered to go. Portion size is also very good. Service was great. I definitely want to go back and see what else is offered.”

“I wanted to try this place for the longest time. The No. 44 filled me up, as well as satisfied my taste buds.”

“Looking for a taste of Hong Kong in the SGV? I checked out Alice’s Kitchen in Temple City and it really feels like dining on the streets of Hong Kong. The ambiance is super cool, with fake storefronts and shop signs that set the vibe. The menu is large, with a mix of Hong Kong cafe classics and Cantonese dishes. My friend ordered the fish maw soup and I had the baked pork chop rice. Both were delicious, generously portioned, and very reasonably priced. Service is standard for an HK cafe.”

“Such an amazing experience at Bearology! Their Demon Slayer Infinity Castle immersive pop up was incredibly detailed and thoughtfully designed. Every corner felt intentional, immersive, and perfect for fans.

The environment was fun, interactive, and visually stunning. Staff were super kind and helpful, and the drinks were not only tasty but beautifully presented in their tumbler cups! You can tell a lot of care went into creating this experience.

Highly recommend for anime lovers, content creators, or anyone looking for something fun and different to do in Temple City. Definitely worth the visit!”

“This Carls is amazing, especially late night !! The nice man who works the drive thru, Alex is so kind and always makes sure I have everything I need. Food is also always so good, Carl’s Jr has the best and biggest burgers by far. Thank you Alex and to all the other kind workers ! I also highly recommend the bacon and Swiss hand breaded chicken sandwich :)”

“Manager does not comply with rules and discouts at this starbucks. Your supposed to get 25 reward points every time you use reusable cup. Staff is not like him”

“Great green teas bobas and a great place for family games😊”

“First time eating in this seafood buffet. The food was plentiful, great varieties, some of food was very tasty. Dim sums were very good. Plentiful specializef coffee, fruit drinks.
The servers were not very attentive, playing their cell phones or talking to each other, not paying attention of what the customers eating or calling them.”
