Restaurants in Temple City

“Definitely a hidden gem. The Food here is so delicious, and authentic. We tried the beef schezuan soup, beef with tripe in chili oil, and a hot sour soup. Delicious, definitely worth a return visit.”

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味”

“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.”

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

“I the got #4 minced meat dry noodle dish. Hubby got the #5 beef noodle soup (not pictured). Both were delicious but #4 was significantly smaller than #5.
This is the best beef noodle dish we've ever had and we've tried a lot in SGV.
Price wise I agree with others that it's more expensive than average but you can really taste the quality on the food. They only accept cash or Zelle so be aware of that before going!”

“For quick service Vietnamese & Chinese, Happy Buddha hit the spot. Shredded pork rolls were texturally nice but could've used a bit more flavor. A touch of chili sauce was a welcome addition. Beef chow fun was yummy, and though I was initially thrown by what I think was crumbled Beyond patties in the mix it all came together nicely. Stir fry green beans with tofu included way more tofu than the picture let on, in a positive way. Sweet & spicy fried tofu was also a mountain of tofu in delicious sauce. $75 with tip for all 4 dishes, and though only two of use were dining in we easily could've fed 4 with that amount of food. Super friendly service, and worth noting that food came out lightning fast. Will certainly be coming back!”

“Love the strong flavor of the teas served here. They sometimes have BOGO drinks. The coconut cloud drink is interesting. Drink can be a little to sweet for me so I would ask for 50 percent sugar.”

“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.”

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

“I highly recommend!!! My experience here was amazing. The food was excellent. It’s such a cozy environment and everyone that worked there was extremely friendly. I will definitely be visiting again.”

“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.”

“If you're looking for an affordable hot pot spot in the SGV, I definitely recommend trying Mebo in Temple City. Their AYCE build-your-own hot pot is only $15.99, which is an amazing deal considering you also get access to the buffet. There are plenty of veggies, meats, noodles, and other ingredients to customize your perfect bowl, and you can choose the broth you want before they cook everything for you.

If you're not in the mood for hot pot, they also offer the buffet by itself for around $11.99, making it one of the best values around. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well worth the price. It's hard to find an all-you-can-eat meal this affordable these days, so I'll definitely be coming back!”

“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.”

“came here for dinner and the spicy crawfish bowl was delicious!! the portions were generous and the price was reasonable. service was quick and kind as well, they gave us watermelon slices. would definitely reccomend :)”

“The most amazing baked green onion bread. Delicious food too. Super slow service because there's really only 1 waitress (the owner) working. So keep that in mind when you go. It'll take a while but it's worth it!”

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋”

“A co-worker that used to come up and play ice hockey in his teens told me about this place. He told me I will not regret and order the pastrami. He was right !! I had the sandwich just like it,no condiments to really enjoy the pastramj. My oh my,right on point flavor,not too salty or plain. Fresh bread. Quick service. Love the nostalgic set up..everything along the 210 still has that Americana flavor..”

“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.”

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

“What stood out most was the relaxed and casual vibe of the restaurant. It felt like a great place to grab a quick meal, hang out with friends, or stop by during a road trip. Overall, In-N-Out Burger delivered fresh food, fast service, and a genuinely enjoyable dining experience. Definitely a place I’d visit again whenever I’m nearby.”

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

“Pretty typical taco truck, but it's the closest one and the food is always good and in stock. Burritos are my go-to, and I add sour cream. The al pastor tacos are a little sweet for my tastes, so I usually get the suadero and asada. They have bacon wrapped dogs, and nachos using round tostitos and actual nacho pump cheese like at the ballgame.”

“Muy rica la comida Tun servicio excelente”

“😘😘😘😘😘The taste is very good.”

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

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

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

“The worker there was awesome. Had a great sense of humor and made the experience that much more fun. Sadly didn't get her name, but she definitely is a good worker.”

“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.”

“I have been coming here for 30+ yrs. A great go to spot for a breakfast burrito. Nothing fancy, just done right with eggs, bacons and beans.

I find it funny that the mini burrito is 1.50 less vs the regular one at 10.99.

All burrito order comes with chips.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“Amazing cuisine and service”

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

“The food was amazing and authentic! I got the lamb noodle soup; they make their own noodles, perfect chewiness, and the portions were big. I can imagine being a regular here. Only downside was they are short-staffed, only two people working, so if you come in on a busy day, good luck.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Hangang Korean Restaurant is a newer Korean spot in the SGV that focuses on classic comfort dishes in a warm and comfortable setting. The restaurant is tucked into a small plaza, so it is easy to miss while driving by.

The menu focuses on familiar Korean dishes, and the standout for me was the galbijjim. The short ribs were incredibly tender and cooked to the point where the meat easily came away, with a rich savory flavor. The sauce had a good balance without overpowering the natural flavor of the meat. The bibimbap was also a good dish, pretty standard that compares well to other places that also serve the dish.

The soups and lighter dishes also make the menu feel well rounded. The seafood pancake is another good addition, with a satisfying texture and enough flavor to stand on its own. The banchan were a nice part of the meal as well. The side dishes came out fresh and added variety throughout the meal, making the table feel more complete.

Service was friendly and attentive throughout the visit. The staff were helpful and made the experience feel comfortable, whether you were ordering a full spread or just stopping by for a specific dish. There is also plenty of parking compared to some other Korean food areas, which makes the visit more convenient.

Overall, Hangang is a solid addition to the SGV Korean food scene. The combination of comforting dishes, generous portions, quality meats, and a relaxed atmosphere makes it a place I would return to.”

“One of the best tasting boba drink out there. After working at various restaurant and good boba place one tends to become picky about their food but this place really hit the spot. The drink is not diluted and very consistent. Getting the thermal cup helps because the ice melts was slower, preserving the concentration of the drink. Definitely one of my top to go places.”

“Jus can't get enough of Pepes authentic Mexican food. Anything on the menu is good. I order the Chile Relleno burrito an 2 hard shell tacos.The tacos when you order say shredded beef u won't be disappointed. Each of these Resturants call Pepe's is family owed but owed individually by family members. Great So. Cal history we all can share. I love L.A.😎”

“Honestly, I’ve driven past this place so many times and never noticed it until we stopped to shop at Super A next door. It’s a super unassuming, small bakery, but it’s clearly a local favorite because it was pretty busy when we walked in!

They specialize in sponge cakes, and the shelves are fully stocked with all different kinds. We tried a few things, but the standout was definitely the Grenade Cake. It’s got this great crispy top that gives it a nice texture which is definitely unique.

We also picked up an ube sponge cake. It was incredibly fluffy and light, and the flavor was spot on. They have a bunch of different flavors to choose from if ube isn't your thing.

The service was friendly and efficient, too. Definitely a solid little hidden gem in Temple City if you're looking for fresh, airy cakes that aren't overly sweet!”

“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”

“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’ve been on a Taiwanese food binge lately and have been searching everywhere for some good, authentic Taiwanese dishes. This little mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall spot really hit the mark. The food tastes just like what I’d expect from back home or from the night markets in Taiwan.

I tried the stinky tofu (a must-have for any true Taiwanese food lover), the pork chop rice, and a few other dishes—and every bite was delicious, flavorful, and comforting. The portions are generous without being overwhelming, and the seasoning is on point.

The owners are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the dining experience feel even more like you’re visiting family. The restaurant shares a plaza with other shops, so there’s plenty of parking available, which is a big plus.

A couple of tips: it’s best to bring cash, as not everything is set up for cards. Also, they do have a restroom on site, which is always nice for a small place like this.

Overall, this is the kind of spot you want to keep coming back to—and the kind of hidden gem you almost don’t want to share so it stays special. Definitely one of my new go-to Taiwanese comfort food spots!”

“Had a great experience at Alice Kitchen for a family-style dinner. We made a reservation in advance for their 8–10 person set menu ($438), and it was definitely worth it.

The biggest highlight is how convenient the set menu is—no need to think about what to order, and you get a wide variety of dishes. Every course we had was solid, and there really wasn’t a weak dish.

Standouts for me included the braised pigeon, crispy beef brisket (crispy on the outside and tender inside), ginger scallion lobster, and the black truffle fried rice. The portions were generous, and everything came out well-prepared and flavorful.

They also included a complimentary Ovaltine French toast for dessert, which was a nice sweet ending. We added the HK-style pork ribs as well, which were also very tasty.

This is a great spot for family gatherings or group dinners—especially if you want a full, satisfying meal without the hassle of ordering individually.

One thing to note: the restaurant is quite lively and can get a bit noisy, and there are no private rooms. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quieter setting.

Overall, great food, good value for a large group, and a fun dining experience. Would definitely come back!”

“If you love Demon Slayer, it's a must that you pay this location a visit. They also have a good variety of merch even if you don't order food. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting prior to the end of July.”

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

“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😊”

“Excellent place: beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, a great variety of food, and everything was delicious. The menu offers something for everyone, including meat dishes, vegetarian, and vegan options. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the presentation is excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service is fast. It’s a perfect spot for a family dinner or a gathering with friends. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to others.”
