Restaurants in Temple City

“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!”

“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.”

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味”

“It's not completely vegetarian its Vietnamese. Its a typical Vietnamese type menu leaning towards vegetarian the portions were large so be careful not to order a lot”

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

“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.”

“Joshua was our server tonight and he was AMAZING! My friend and I came in for dinner pretty late, around 9–10 PM, and he still made the whole experience feel so welcoming and special. He was super polite, friendly, attentive, and he cooked everything perfectly for us. The food was delicious and the service honestly made the night even better.

Also, I have to mention this because it made me smile the entire time 😂 Josh totally reminded me of Chrollo from Hunter x Hunter, which was such a fun bonus.

Thank you, Josh, for taking such good care of us! He definitely deserves recognition (and a raise 😉) because service like this really makes people want to come back. 10/10 experience! ❤️ Rawrrrr!”

“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.”

“Okay… I’m just gonna say it: this burger puts In-N-Out to shame! 😂 The burger was SO juicy, with that beautiful sear on the patty that gave it such an amazing flavor. The pickles were delicious, and that Thousand Island dressing tied the whole burger together perfectly. And that toasted bun?! 🤌🏽🔥 Everything just worked.

The fries were also so good—nice and crispy on the outside while still soft and fluffy on the inside. Exactly how I like my fries!

The food was fresh, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. I came hungry and left VERY happy. 😂

The Hat is definitely going on my list of places I’d come back to. Highly recommend! 🍔🍟❤”

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“Food: 3.5/5 ⭐
We came to try their thick Green Onion Sesame Pie, and it’s definitely a showstopper when you see it for the first time! The thick, layered presentation alone makes it worth experiencing at least once.

Flavor-wise, though, it was a little underwhelming. Our friend even commented that there wasn’t enough green onion! I ended up dipping pieces into the Green Onion Stir-Fried Beef, which added much-needed flavor and made the combination a lot better.

Overall, I’m glad I got to experience such a unique dish, but I probably wouldn’t come back specifically for the sesame pie. If I’m around town, I’d definitely stop by again to try their beef rolls and other menu items.

Customer ⭐
A straightforward and casual dining experience that works well when you’re looking for a quick bite in the area.

Location & ⭐
Street parking is available nearby. Depending on how busy the area is, you may need to look around for a spot.

⭐
Casual and no-frills, making it a good place for a quick meal rather than a long dining experience.

⭐
Worth visiting at least once for the impressive Green Onion Sesame Pie. It wasn’t flavorful enough to bring me back specifically for that dish, but I’d return if I’m nearby to explore more of their menu.”

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋”

“Honest review:
My wife and i came at 9:30 for a later dinner. We got the braised pork and the beef bowl with the pepper sauce. We both thought that the flavor and portion were great. The pork was so tender and had just the right amount of fat the meat ratio. The beef bowl with pepper sauce was good i did ask for chili oil yo add some spice. The owner did tell me if you ask for spice ahead of time he can do mild medium and high depending on your tolerance.

Service was quick and very nice. As soon as we sat down they brought us an extra menu and two glasses of cold water. Then they brought us some free watermelon before i food came out. Food did not take long which was a plus but of course it was late so this service will depend on the time of day so I may come for lunch to provide a comparable experience.

Atmosphere was good and spacious. I will say the ac was not working but they were kind enough to place the fan to us.

I would recommend this place for a good quick and simple meal i will be back to try more from the menu and see if there is any other dishes to try.”

“Amazing cuisine and service”

“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.”

“Busy spot like most. Quick service super friendly workers. I had a missing buger they took care of it right away and apologized for inconvenience and served it with a smile!! This crew was great!!”

“😘😘😘😘😘The taste is very good.”

“ok this is an unexpected gem… we walked in due to interest, but not really with an appetite for it. ended up trying their spicy crabmeat and a plain crepe… amazing… i was actually blown away by the flavor. usually i have to ask for a sauce, but this came with enough spicy mayo and the seasonings to make it taste perfect. the plain has an amazing flavor by its self, just delicious! we will absolutely be back, the menu is extensive and i’m intrigued by the sweet ones!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Kim Tar’s new location is fantastic! We came in pretty close to closing, but the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. A huge shoutout to Bobby and Gilbert for being exceptionally attentive and making sure we were well taken care of without ever feeling rushed. Loved the updated interior, and the food was delicious as always—definitely check out the new spot!”

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

“Other than having to fidget with an online menu for more options, the food was excellent and the service was great! I had the chain back when I lived in Canada and down here the quality is great and consist! Will come back again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“For $20/person AYCE, this is a great value for the money. Unless you have super high service standards (which you shouldnt at a spot charging $20/person) there isn't too much to complain about. Hot pot items are fresh, tons of choices, broths are good, and a great variety of free drinks. The Dim sum and skewers aren't mind blowing but are included in the price as well. The service isn't amazing, but for the price paid its more than a fair trade off.”

“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 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.”

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

“The food is absolutely amazing.The salsa is always fresh Can't complain when it comes to good quality and kind service don't judge the photo I posted harshly.I'm on a diet and I got a protein style taco”

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

“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.”

“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!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Wish restaurants would focus on affordability. Stop going cause a breakfast plate was around $10. But now it $16.
I would take a smaller portion. For under $10.”

“I haven't been there since aroun 2009 !!! New owners , i went tonite. They aren't as friendly as the old owners. The food was ok but the bar b q pork was hard and u could tell it was old. I tried to ask her but not sure she understood ( or just didn't want to answer me ) but the orange chicken was good.”

“Good curry good fish good pork and good beef. Chicken is good too. I love this place like garden and good. Not too expensive and very good. Get the curry beef”

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

“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”

“We came for an impromptu dinner for 12!! people on a Sunday night, and had a wonderful time. The dishes were varied and delicious, and the staff were patient and accommodating with the many children we brought.”

“Claro que si hay nos atienden muy bien y está muy limpio 🌺😊🌹🤗”

“My friend and I had an amazing time at the AOT exhibit today!! The food was super great and Gloria was so nice and welcoming! We’ll be coming back to get the colossal titan mug thanks to her!
Definitely lived up to the expectations!!”

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

“They have been getting the best QC on their food for over 20 years ever since purchase from a Taiwanese owner. Such a marathon is super hard to achieve! They deserve five stars from you!”

“大腸米粉湯套餐 沒想到在洛杉磯還能吃到 非常驚訝，好吃😋不油膩，份量足夠 服務態度很好👍 大推”

“my 1st visit. i will return for more!”

“Shiki Seafood Buffet is a great option if you are looking for variety and good value! The sushi selection features a wide array of specialty rolls, and they even have live grill items, hot pot soup bases, fresh fruit like dragonfruit and strawberries, and an ice cream station. Drinks like plum juice and honey green tea are available alongside hot tea. There is even a coffee machine. Pricing is reasonable ($25.99 for weekday lunch, $39.99 for dinner/weekends), and note that a mandatory 10% service charge is included with a no-tipping policy. Definitely worth a visit!”

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