“A feast to the eyes and for the palate.However, the whole omakase felt a bit rushed because there was a train of people standing behind us waiting to be seated for the next appointed timeslots.Also, they said it's 10 sushi but it's really like 7 because there's an appetizer that was more like a small plate of Hawaiian poke, a miso soup side dish and a green tea ice cream dessert at the end.Other than that, good experience though.”

“We just stopped for a quick bite during lunch, so we didn't get any mains. The restaurant description promised contemporary Chinese cuisine, but it actually had a lot of Japanese inspired dishes, like shrimp tempura and grilled octopus. I could only taste Chinese influence in the provided sauces. The Crispy Shrimp was absolutely perfect. The Octopus was decent, a bit harder than you'd like. We also tried Grilled vegetable mix and all the ingredients were cooked differently: the potato was well cooked through, but the pumpkin was practically raw.I'm a bit hesitant to come back, but I'd like to give it another try, maybe with the chef's menu.Interior and concept are definitely different from the rest of the neighborhood and provide a welcome respite.”
“The food is good and I recommend to go here with friends cause the food portions are pretty big. They also serve ice cream after, and the waiters/waitresses are very kind. One thing to keep in mind is that you're not allowed to bring outside drinks/food. The interior has a rusty yet cozy feel to it, and they play K-pop music on speakers even though it isn't that audible. This place is still enjoyable though.”
“Easy to book, and as soon as we arrived, our table was ready. Our server, Elena, was fabulous--wonderfully friendly, bubbly attitude, and gave us outstanding service. My salad was ok, but my friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals.”
“Excellent AYCE hot pot place! There’s an attention to detail to the dining experience that I really appreciate. They have a lifting hot pot separator so you see what you put inside. Service is quick and friendly and never seems like they are limiting you in any way. The meats are high quality and thinly cut, the veggies selection is abundant and cleanly maintained, the sauces selection is good, there’s some appetizers and a soda machine. They have some deals sometimes, which usually happen on weekdays. Totally underrated!Spicy brother and mushroom soup base are my preferred duo.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Wonderful service! The waiter and the owner were very kind. The owner especially was very sweet. The soy wings were stellar! The sauce was just the right balance of salty and sweet. I highly recommend this place!”
“Food is always great but some of the employees need to work on their customer service. Instead of asking if you're ready to order they just stare at you awkwardly leaving you guessing when they're ready to take your order. No friendly welcome and they make you feel like an inconvenience to serve with their sour faces, apathetic tones, and unapproachable demeanor. As a food service worker myself I understand having bad days but your atittude towards customers represents the company you work for. Do better.”
“First time here and we absolutely loved it. The food is very authentic and it feels like I’m at someone’s home eating home cooked food. My 18 month old daughter really liked the quesadilla with birria using a handmade flour tortilla. My husband ordered the torta ahogada and tacos de barbacoa estilo Guadalajara. I ordered two tacos de Carnitas and it was very delicious! The potato filling is soft and plenty. The carnitas are also very flavorful and filling.You can count on us coming back next time we’re in town.”

“All the meats are so fresh, I love beef tongue the most. As some comments suggested, don't cook too long so I cooked majority of those as medium rare, which tastes really good. Service is also good, they always gave big smile. Not like some other bbq restaurants, there is no smoke, it's like high level Japanese bbq restaurants. For sure I'll come back!”
“Food selections are easy and plentiful with amazing fast service from their staff! The whole ambience of this place is very luxurious from the food to the interior decor.”

“Food was good and quick the only way this place for me to get a 5 star is the fuego is not spicy at all more like mild...but if u add the habanero aioli it makes it a 10 good spice to it recommend the habanero aioli for kick.”
“The bread of the empanada is mildly sweet and palatable to everybody. The place is neat and organized. I like that every table has an antibacterial gel. I came for the tuna empanada and liked the beef flavor the most. On weekends, they have arroz caldo and Filipino champurado.Vegetarian options: Mushroom and cream and corn and cream for vegetarians.”
“I ordered a dozen chocolate chip cookies for a thanksgiving party I was attending and everyone enjoyed that the chocolate chip cookies weren't overly sweet. The cookies were large size compared to other places. The service was quick and professional. The place was simple and looked clean. I was their only patron and I was worried at first the cookies were stale or not gonna bring life to our party but I got a pat on my back for choosing the right cookie for the party. Next time your in the area come by to give Crumbl som luv!”
“Finally got to try Fennel Bistro during my lunch work hours and it was very satisfying. The meats were cooked deliciously and the flavors were spot on. The clay rice was crispy and well flavored. The meat to rice ratio was perfect for my preference. The place is simplistic and clean. Random, but it was fun to see the steam rise from the clay pots every so often inside, and it feels like a huge humidifier. No issues at all with the service, our waitress was very kind to explain how to pick out and order the clay pot combos.”
“You had dinner in this area and are looking for dessert and you end up in this cute little crepe shop with the best variety of crepes available in the area. The place is cozy, good service, and has amazing crepe. I would definitely recommend you to try this after your meal here or even get some and share it with friends and family if it seems too much for one person. The shop also has a good selection of drinks and other delicacies too.”
“This place has great food and is in a great location, I was promptly greeted and offered a table upon arrival, the guy taking our order was friendly and informative about the menu, unfortunately they lost one star because the lack of cleanliness in the restroom ? and restaurant was not clean and inviting.Dietary restrictions: They offered accommodations base on your diet restrictions”
“Hainan chicken is alright not bad, but taste more like some hong kong style chickenThe beef noodle soup( with the white soft noodle) is actually really good! The spicness is also perfect, the soup can also feel the light beef broth and the noodle blend well with it, def a hidden gem.”

“We were looking for a dim sum place and after a quick read through of reviews I thought this place had some. Well there was like 5 things. We ordered the chicken feet and it was pretty good. The rest were like actual authentic Chinese food (that you probably will need an acquired taste for) so unless you feel adventurous this isn’t your typical Chinese fare.I gave four stars because food wasn’t very hot although served pretty speedily. Portions were good too. The environment was ok, like a mom and pop restaurant with limited seating which is what I’d go for quiet, quick bite while watching some cdrama.. it’s just that this type of Chinese food isn’t my thing.”
“Wonderful service! The waiter and the owner were very kind. The owner especially was very sweet. The soy wings were stellar! The sauce was just the right balance of salty and sweet. I highly recommend this place!”
“No time to take place picture. Food is good. We like popcorn chicken (ask no spicy fpr kids), lamb is good too, fried pork belly is better without sauces but still good.The extra point is restroom is clean, no smell bad and good too ??.Some how internet not too good in here but they have wifi tho.For price its average around 14.99 up. But I saw on the menu cooking fee for crab is $ 50 . Maybe you can ask about this before ordering crab.Portion is okay. Place is nice and clean too.They have Peking Duck. You should order 1 hour ahead according to waiter. Never try it, maybe one day.”
“The customer service right off was awesome the entire experience, the AC was on and it was a beautiful sunny day. Very pleasant atmosphere, but most importantly, the food was AMAZING, we got the #2 $130. We tried And we couldn’t finish it! everything tasted fresh, the sauce is made fresh every day and I could tell, hands down the best! I didn’t get the older gentleman’s name, he was super helpful, Rachel and Lauren super courteous, over all super sweet girls! I rarely leave reviews, but this place Definitely deserves it!”
“A neat little corner filled with delicious ramen bowls. The pro bowl (pictured with the review) is really worth trying before anything. All starters/appetizers are great too and make a great combo with the ramen bowl. The wait times even for weekdays were high but I would rank the service staff high as they maintained a great level of service.”

“I'm not a meat eater, but had a delicious grilled cheese. Service is very friendly! I would love a beef alternative on the menu one day...? Please.?Vegetarian options: They offer a grilled cheese sandwich. I would love to see a beef alternative on the menu one day..? Very nice chain, with an additional vegetarian option it would offer choices to more folks? ?”

“The first time here and the service was great, friendly, and accommodated a large group.I ordered the Lomo Saltado Beef, which is very tasty. The ceviche de pescado (picante) was delicious, I also ordered the Papa ala Huancaina. Everything was delicious. I recommend going to this small hidden gem.Vegetarian options: There are several options for vegetarians, I wouldn't really recommend it for vegans as several of the dishes will have some kind of cheese base in the sauce or dish.”
“What can I say my grandson loves this place so much! The burgers are real good and very presentable. Customer services top notch! And believe it or not when you order your food you are in and out! So come on down for a great burger and wonderful atmosphere”

“Teddy's Taco was really good! My co-worker recommended the Jalapeno taco. So, I ordered one Jalapeno taco, one carne asada street taco, and one barbacoa street taco. All three were good but that blank taco was REALLY GOOD! It has a whole grilled jalapeno, creamy avocado sauce and marinated raisins in the meat. Now, I know what you're thinking but the little hint of sweetness the raisins add just takes this taco over the top and differentiates it from any other taco I've ever had. I wish I had gotten three of those instead of just one but since it was my first time I wanted to try a couple of different things. Next time I go to Teddy's Tacos I will be getting three of those. Delicioso! ???Now, I also tried the Cucumber Margarita and that was pretty good too. They put chamoy and tajin around the rim of the glass, as you can see in the picture. The lady that took my order said that it's a wine based margarita instead of tequila, which is interesting but also makes it not so strong since I had to go back to work. If you're in the area give Teddy's Tacos a try! ?✌?”
“So I mostly never do these things but I would just like to say how amazing the service was the food was good the service was impeccable and the atmosphere felt so welcoming I especially would like to thank Alejandra I think that’s her name but whoever you are you made me first time at waba so great you took your time and really helped me when I was lost on what’s on the menu from all the workers to the owners thank you so much can’t wait to come back”
“The food and service have improved significantly since we dined in 2 years ago. Everything we ordered, from combination fried rice, sausage rice to joy pot, were excellent and big portions. Milk tea is consistently good and tastes like authentic tea not some fake powdery stuff. Staff were great and food came out quickly. We will visit there more often.”
“The girls are super friendly and quick with their service! They have great sandwich and salad choices! I haven't tried something that wasn't delicious !”
“Went there last night with friends on rainy day. It was really good, feel like back home eating hot pot. The service were fantastic, the servers were friendly and cute and nice, very helpful. The only thing was too COLD! Also we hope they can sing longer time. It was entertaining and the song was good. We have to drove an hour there. It's worth it. We definitely go again next time.”
“I loved my visit! It did not take very long to get seated if you get there early enough. The food was great I got the smoked salmon avocado toast. Such a big portion. It was delicious! I also got a tea and it was a lot! I would highly recommend going there for breakfast!”
“Such a cool place to go dance and just chill and hang out and listen to oldies! DJ Mina is awesome! Everybody there is cool specially YiYi and the crew. If you just want to chill ... The Industry Bar is the place!! Hands down the vibe is off the hook”
“I ordered a chicken with a miso soup base. I enjoyed it very much. I also added on more Tofu and Kimchi. They have a sauce bar where you can choose a dipping sauce with small add-ons such as green onions and such. I would come here again to try the other soup bases offered. Although slow traffic at the time of eating, the service was good, however the servers were busy being on their phones or sitting around. Atmosphere was nice.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options on the meat section, additional add-ons and broth section to allow vegetarians to have the same experience as those that eat meats.Wheelchair accessibility: The chairs can be pulled out to allow wheelchair accessibility.”

“Picked this place out from yelp because reviews were good. This place didn't disappoint, got seated quick and staff were really friendly. Everything we ordered from poke bowl, to 3 different rolls and 2 combo plates all tasted fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is real laid back and relaxing. Never felt rushed after we finished eating. Would definitely recommend and will be back.”

“Whenever I’m in Rowland Heights, Yintang is one of my go-to places for lunch or dinner. It’s great to choose from a wide selection of toppings. The price is right, around $20 per person. Service is fast.”
“We loved this restaurant, service, and their foods! Special offer when your order 5 dishes, you will get the 5th one on the house. 10 dishes, then you get 2 dishes free! Friendly staff! You can also call in to make a reservation over the phone.”
“Not fancy, just good home style Shanghainese cooking at reasonable prices. None of the dishes we ordered had any filler, just like how my family would make it at home. Yum!”
“I love Olive Garden. It's such a great place for a large group or a couple. I come here very often with my 92 year old mom. She loves the specials and is always willing to try their featured margarita. Today our server was Elsa, she was delightful and catered to my Moms requests like a true professional. We had the calamari, artichoke dip along with bottomless soup and salad. My Mom had the scampi and as always took some home. Olive Garden still has the small plates Togo. The small plate to go will make a great lunch for my honey!! Good eats. Thank you Elsa for your quick attention to detail and responsiveness. 555”
“The restaurant is big and super cool. Customer service was great. The food was fantastic. My least favorite were the chicken wings because they had no seasoning, 0 flavor. The chicken pot pie, the PB jelly burger and the calamari were perfectly cooked. I definitely recommend this place for the whole family.”
“This place is full of atmosphere. The appetizers are delicious. The wait staff are friendly helpful and make sure you have all you need. And the bartenders make excellent drinks.”
“While I do miss their old tea room, I do think this new boba shop format will be much more successful for them! There are plenty of seats for dining in with free parking! The hot pot was flavorful and filling, but would pass on the grapefruit green tea for another milk tea based drink.”
“Suitable for students and work meals. Cheap and a good choice to fill your stomach. But don't expect anything else. Without delicious dishes, there is no high-quality service.Spend a few bucks to supplement some food to keep you alive, and that’s it.”
“3.75 star overall. 2nd take-out visit two days in a row. Surprised at the portion and good taste given the overall 3 star review. My family was pretty satisfied with the taste and would return. Tastes authentic and do-able.4.5 star food. On Both take out orders, the skewers felt a little cooler than I was expecting to be fresh off the grill. But the taste is good and portion is much larger than Little Skewers, so this alone makes it feel more worth it to return.3 star service. Service was average typical China-Chinese, non-American style. Waited quite a long time to order take out as they seems to be busy & short staffed Friday night around 10 pm. Ordered again next evening on Saturday around 5:30 pm and barely any customers at that time so the order was fast.3 star other. Friday night, the restaurant dining area and the whole plaza, in general, smells like cigarettes. So many smokers seem to hang out in that plaza at that time. Not a pleasant smell walking around. The restaurant also habitually leaves cardboard containers and boxes out on the walkway (right outside the restaurant kitchen door) which makes the restaurant look very China-ghetto. I wish they didn’t do that. Is that even legal to be leaving trash out on the walkway like that? So the standard of cleanliness and organization brings down the restaurant a notch.Overall, I would return from time to time if I happen to feel like it.”
“Idk why this place has such low ratings on yelp. The portion is so big and food tastes good. Service was quick and nice. You can order by scanning the card on the table. Feels like a small hole in the wall. Really great price for current economy. I would definitely come back again.”
“Must try for a roast fish fan!!Firstly, they use only fresh fish. Next I so love you can choose your own sauce type, spice level and add ons. The add ons include protein such as prawns and a ton of veggies to choose from! There even were three types of tofu! I have never had create your own roast fish like this before and I am a fan for life!!They also offer skewers, cold dishes, fried rice, noodles and a wide range of drinks! Yes of course we did get skewers and were pleasantly surprised by the yummy seasoning and the meat was tender and juicy! Their dishes are served in good size portions and plenty to share.All in all walked away full amd happy!”
“The best waitresses SUSANA G. AND ELIZABETH R. I recommend this 2 excellent waitresses, I had them both in different days, they pay attention to details of their tables and needs of their customers.The lady manager is excellentThan the Asian Manager Jonathan Niu is racist, has no carring of the business, treated 3 older people non carring. Visited several times and still noticed Manager Jonathan Niu treating customers bad which in turn makes and reflexes into Red Lobster bad, of what kind of manager Red Lobster hired and not being corrected. I guess there is one wrotten apple from a great bunch.Parking: Plenty of parking and space around your car.”
“Good quality food--I've been dying to find a good pickled veggie soup, and they certainly delivered. The employee was definitely patient with me when I came barreling in 30 minutes before closing (didn't kick me out and asked if I'd be opposed to takeout). Overall, a very positive experience!”
“We usually come here for a pre New Year's lunch. The duck needs to be pre-ordered. With 4 adults, it's easy to go through 2 duck orders.Everything has duck flavor in here. The bean sprouts with duck meat tastes like it was also cooked in duck broth. The duck soup is definitely rich but not salty. Duck has lots of collagen, so it has its benefits.It's a small place hence it's a good idea to reserve ahead of time.”
“I loved my visit! It did not take very long to get seated if you get there early enough. The food was great I got the smoked salmon avocado toast. Such a big portion. It was delicious! I also got a tea and it was a lot! I would highly recommend going there for breakfast!”

“Came here for coffee. ☕️They are one of the Mickie D’s locations with more modern coffee machines; which brews fresh coffee individually!! ☺️?The coffee here definitely tastes smooth. Way better than at some other Mickie D’s locations.Another plus is attentive and friendly staff that smile at you.”
“Must try this ! Build your own hotpot and choose your meat, vegetables and broth.They offer six choices of broth.Enjoyed our lunch here looking forward to our next visit.”

“I've been going here for years and use to get their popcorn chicken over rice but the last few times I've gotten it, the popcorn chicken were super large pieces and I don't think all the pieces were fully cooked. (Eek) Now my go to is the ground pork and mushroom dry noodles with thick noodles. Add some spicy to it and it's perfect! My husband really likes their red grain pork. The space is small but they do have a few tables outside, if it's full inside. The Staff are friendly and normally really quick to address anything you need. Recommend if you're looking for a decent Taiwanese meal in the area.”

“The food was great the pork and cabbage dumplings with soy sauce were bomb. Ordered both bafang signature ramen and another spicy ramen but they both tasted almost the same and almost no spicy so if you add more chili sauce that they provide be generous with it to get the spice. I also got the mini wonton soup which was also really good, the wontons were perfect no complaints and the broth was a great compliment to the wontons. If you like more flavor fry mixing in the chili sauce and some ginger sauce that they have in and trust it elevates it a lot. Their soy mango drink is also really good not too sweet and I added boba which went really good with it. 9/10 would definitely go again but not so much for the ramen because there want enough spice to call it spicy and both spicy ramens tasted the same.”
“So good! Lost a star for not including mushrooms in the beef hot pot, per my kiddo. Lol. Reserved on yelp and sat as soon as we got there. Sauce bar was neat and had a good variety of sauces and greens. Will be back!”
“Ordered chicken tacos with guac and rice and beans, BOMB! Soooo good! Legit will go back if I'm in town. Also service was amazing. Young girl with shirt hair was really sweet and helped me out with my order!”
“Stopped in for lunch last week. Service was good. I ordered the Enchilada Suizas and it was outstanding. Chips and salsa also very good as well. Great option if in the ”
“I've been here three times now and I think this is a great little neighborhood dessert spot. Their original coffee buns when baked fresh are semi-sweet with a light coffee flavor and savory buttery taste on the inside. The coffee bun is great mix of textures with a crispy outside and a fluffy soft inside. This place also has korean shaved ice and good ol' pineapple dole whip as well as a few other soft serve iced cream flavors to spice up the variety. I haven't had any of the coffee yet, but I will one day.”
“It has been our second visit to this location and we've loved all the drinks we've gotten there. We live in NorCal and always make a spot to grab a drink here on the way in to see family in corona ca. I can tell their matcha is great quality and their selections of teas are blend well with the matcha. They have soft served too which is even more fun but hard in a good way when you want a drink and soft served ahah. They didn't have any more boba when we we there and hoping that is always available is small batches until they close so they don't waste it, cause it was yummy the last time we had it. I wish they had bathrooms available for customers for those who want to sit and hang or come far. We drove 5 hours and my baby needed to be changed as we were ordering and we didn't have anywhere to, they told us to go somewhere else, but hoping that maybe have something for paying customers for convenience as I'm sure their employees have a place to use. Parking can be bad on weekends as it's in a plaza with a lot of other yummy food/drink places, but recommend it's worth a spot if you love matcha and good boba tea. The place is small intimate with about 3 tables to sit and hang for a short time. Will still come back for the drinks and soft served!”

Would definitely recommend and will be back.”
“Been ordering cakes from here for many years and love every cake ordered. We've bought regular cakes the same day, special ordered, and customized for baptisms. The only sad part about everything is that they stopped making the sponge cakes with jello . I only wished they would bring it back because I've been craving it for years. Take a chance if you are looking for a delicious and not sweet cake. They are my only spot for cakes”
“My childhood burger place and one of my favorites.Great place to come for burgers, fries, tacos and breakfast. Love the horchata and orange bang. Support local mom and pop shops.”
“Taco truck's still here after all these years. So glad they open late. Quick and convenient. They have interesting meat options. Cash only. But they now take Zelle. Pricing went up just a little to $1.75 (used to be $1.25) These are still my favorites: Cabeza (Head) Tripa (intestines) Lengua (tongue)”

“Must try this ! Build your own hotpot and choose your meat, vegetables and broth.They offer six choices of broth.Enjoyed our lunch here looking forward to our next visit.”
“If you are looking for a nice place with a modern updated restaurant, this is not it. Been coming to this restaurant for pho for many years. It’s one of the best tasting pho to me. It’s almost like a hole in a wall, but a large one. Generous with the veggies and very reasonably priced. One of my favorite pho places.”

“Great place for a late snack or boba! I recommend the peach yogurt drink! Right now they are offering a promo for a free drink. Be sure to stop by while this last”
“Five stars for friendly customer service and four stars for the drink! I ordered the Lychee Peachee with aloe, medium sweet, but it was still wayyyy too sweet. I will get it even less next time. Regardless, it was a solid tea drink and I was very pleased.”
“One of my go-to places in the area. Simple. Solid personal hotpot. I always get the t-rex lamb sukiyaki with ponzu sauce. Love that they have this extra meat option. Everything comes out fairly quickly. There's plenty amount of veggies. The lamb has a slight gamey taste, but it's still just so delicious.”

“We’ve been to this establishment many times. The place was remodeled last spring I believe .It’s nice with a few tables to sit down and enjoy your ice cream or whatever your heart desires. We stopped by for a promotion, Cappuccino blast for five dollars it was made perfectly ,the two employees at work this night know what they’re doing .They’re courteous, and hard-working especially when the crowd comes in . We have ordered banana splits and ice cream sundaes, scoops of assorted flavors of ice cream and never disappointed we like coming to this place especially when it’s hot outside. There is plenty of parking with the handicap stalls at the front entrance. this place also has a drive-through, which is great if you don’t want to get off your car, I recommend this place to those who love ice cream.”
“Highly recommended, specially if you go during weekdays to avoid the crowds. The staff is always happy and the manager sets the tone. The kindest people you can find.If you seat at the right area you can see the elderly group that visits in the afternoon having a blast over the shrimp and just having fun.Lisbeth was an excellent waitress.”
“We were there for the play area! The food, as always was awesome! I love that the kids can choose fruit as a side (they always go for fries, but fruit is an option). The workers are not only efficient, and kind and took their time as my kindergarten and second grade friends placed their own orders (in their own time and in their own way). The restrooms were clean and well stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, soap, hand sanitizer, etc. The play area was clean, the slides were dry and not at all sticky. The shoe cubbies were also clean. All moving pieces of the play area appeared to be functioning. It was not crowded, all children were able to play with relatively few problems. All parents/caregivers appeared attentive to minor children at play.Vegetarian options: All fries are vegetarian. There are other dishes as well.Kid-friendliness: Play Area!”
“The chicken has definitely gotten smaller in the last couple years. Texas toast is 10/10 and the Canes sauce is 100x better than chick fil a sauce.Service here is very friendly and the aesthetic is on point.”
“I had a delicious brunch 10:45 deluxe chicken sandwich Weg cut potatoes ?. the coffee ☕?☕☕ is the best in town yes best.Parking: Okay parking ?️ yes don't try to park on the door way. for your safety you can park on the lot all around the restaurant walk in not bad good ? idea ?? very relaxed ? family places comfortable clean plenty of creamer sauce very happy customer.thank you guys Jesus loves you Amen ??❤️??? gracias a Dios Amen ❤️??”
“Great food, burgers cooked properly, and hot off the griddle.Parking: Good view of the trucks rumbling by on the 60 freeway.Wheelchair accessibility: Good access with ramp.”
“On my way returning from Rose Hills memorial cemetery I usually stop here to get tacos. They are not healthy, but I eat them for nostalgic reasons. Reminiscing friends, relatives, and co-workers who unfortunately passed away through the years since 2010s.”
“Best KFC IN SO.CAL place as Clean for one. Second food was Great thanks to Betty Javier and Esteban the Cook you guys are awesome keep making great food!!Parking: Awesome spot and a lot of parking”
“This place is pleasant every time I visit food and service is excellent is a quiet and clean atmosphere [Original] Este lugar es agradable cada que lo visito la comida y el servicio es excelente es un ambiente tranquilo y limpio”
“This place is great. The food was amazing. And the service was great had a hard time choosing and a girl named Alejandra really helped me with my choices. Amazing service. Recommend!”
“This place right here has bomb chicken & steak & meat of there special secret sauce they put in there food eversingle time i go here to yoshinoya off valley blvd. & hacienda¡¡¡Parking: The parking is ok but the strip joint takes up most allot of the parking lot sometimes from what i know & seen everysingle day!!!”
“Great authentic Taiwanese foods. Definitely one of the closest to the taste you would get in Taiwanese. Come here for the food and not the service. Not a huge restaurant by any means so I would try to beat the rush. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking to try a taste of Taiwan.Parking: Parking is usually easy to find, not too much going on in this strip mall”
“By far, the best experience I've EVER had at any Applebee's Restaurant location. The Whole service was amazing, and the food was great. Make sure to request Diego as a server, he was amazing. Definitely made my family's night, so attentive. I usually never write reviews but his service was worth it, I'de give this store 20 starts if I could just based off this gentleman.”
“While I do miss their old tea room, I do think this new boba shop format will be much more successful for them! There are plenty of seats for dining in with free parking! The hot pot was flavorful and filling, but would pass on the grapefruit green tea for another milk tea based drink.”

“A hidden gem within the Puente Hills Mall..The customer service was immaculate! If your on a time budget and trying to grab something quick and comforting..THIS IS IT!! We ordered the Katsu Chicken Plate..please note this is a huge plate!! It accompanied steam rice, Mac Salad and veggies. I also ordered the BBQ chicken bowl w/rice and veggies. Food was definitely a hit!! Although the ambience was a bit dark and wish they were seen more!!”
“I love their drinks. Yesterday I ordered ahead of time and pick up in the store. I ordered the Grapefruit Green tea, 25% sugar with honey boba. They really use fresh ingredients. In the cup there are 2 slices of grapefruit . Yesterday the honey boba was on point. The chewiness is perfect. While I was chewing , I can really taste the honey favor.”
“When the place isn't packed they make some beautiful and great tasting food. I have an el pastor torta very often. very delicious. This place blows the taco trucks in the area out of the water.”
“The service is friendly and kind. The food has wonderful flavors and the best I have found in the area. I've tried other restaurants and they are lacking flavor and freshness. We always order enough for a few days and it stays fresh and flavorful. I recommend this restaurant if you want better than average tasting food. The Orange Chicken is so flavorful. The beef is tender and melts in your mouth. Kung Pao is perfectly spicy. Those are the staples of our orders. We add a new one every time just to change it up and haven't been disappointed.”
“Great Mexican food! The chips and salsa were fantastic. I got a combination plate and the meat was very tender and the portions were big. The restaurant was clean and the staff was nice. I highly suggest visiting.”
“What's not to like?! If you're a fan of Taiwanese comfort food, then this is a must-go when in the area. We drive all the way from Torrance to eat here since the JJ that we have locally doesn't have a cafe. The cafe makes this particular location! It's basically a fully functioning restaurant with a proper menu. We had the fried pork chop noodle soup, a braised pork rice (Luroufan) and a bento combo. All were comforting and delicious. Now look, the emphasis is in COMFORT as I'm stressing for the 3rd time here. This isn't food that's going to blow your mind but it is SOLID, especially the fried and braised meats. The way it should be done for traditional Taiwanese food. Big portions, good prices, great value. None of that neatly cut and plated modern stuff for $15-20 an entree (im lookin at you Little Fatty, but also, RIP). You get a damn set of entree, 2 sides, and a soup for $13. And then you pickup breads, pastries, and desserts or a milk tea to finish it off. And THAT'S worth the 5 stars to me every time.”
“Food was great, service was good & the guests in the next booth were watching a TV program on their phone with no care if other guests would want to hear what they were watching. So uncool. Anyhow the breakfast item, California Hasher Special, that I ordered was extremely yummy with a carrot muffin. You get to pick the protein for this Bfast item. The price is fair for this item. Must try if you like hashed browns, scrambled eggs with cheese, avocado & Pico mixed together”
“My family had a great time at Yumi Time! The meals were big and flavorful. We are definitely coming back to Yumi Time!Parking: Easy to park.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and helpful staff.”
“Im here tonight for the first time. I've never heard of this chain. I'm really impressed! Quick and efficient service. The bread is really special and unique... reminds me of a brioche! The sandwiches are super fresh, and as a huge Jersey mikes fan, I actually like this more! Give this place a try! Good stuff! FYI: skip the cheese. It's an additional $1.99”
“Great Place to get some ice cream! We went and we had a great expierience It was my daugthers birthday and she got a free icecream she was so HAPPY. Thank you for serving us after hours to the guy on 11-18-20.”
“ONE OF THE TOP GONG CHA! We ordered 3 different drinks here, all 3 were amazing, this Gong Cha is better than pretty much all the other Gong Cha that I’ve tried aside from the original location. Anyone who is picky about their milk tea should try this Gong Cha, it’s just better, they know what they are doing ”
“Many bakery items origned from Europe including the salty and the sweet items. Ones can find some special snacks from Taiwan and also more homemade fresh desserts. The other reason I recommend is the breakfast combo with both the drink and the sandwich ?.”
“It’s honestly a trek when you have to drive almost two hours from one side of town in Pasadena…. to be on the other side of town to get boba at Half & Half Tea House, in Rowland Heights (technically City of Industry but oh well, it doesn’t matter at this point). I’ve heard many good things about this place, especially with the recommendations my friends gave me, so when I was in SoCal this time around, I KNEW I had to give this place a try for it’s buck.I was NOT disappointed at all. In fact, I was AMAZED at how they made their drinks. Not only were they cheap for their price, but everything came out to a decent price. Here’s my take: Food/I got the fresh milk tea with honey, boba, and pudding. When I say this to you… the boba at Half & Half Tea House was absolutely delicious. The tapioca pearls were FRESHLY cooked, with just the right amount of chewiness. The fresh milk tself was rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of sweetness as I requested to give them. I could tell that they used high-quality ingredients in their drinks, as the flavors were so fresh and vibrant. Each sip was like a little taste of heaven.Not only was the boba incredible, but the service at Half & Half Tea House was also top-notch. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to answer any questions or make recommendations. They made sure that my order was prepared exactly how I wanted it, and even offered to customize it further if needed. The atmosphere in the store was warm and inviting, despite the fact I went in 15 minutes before they closed LOL.will say that the atmosphere wasn’t always the best, but they did have a lot of leeway so you could take your pictures on top of the table and post it for your IG or TikTok.Overall, my experience at Half & Half Tea House was fantastic. The combination of amazing boba and exceptional service made for a truly memorable visit. The next time that I’m in SoCal, I will definitely be returning to try more of their delicious drinks in the future. If you're a fan of boba tea, this place is a must-visit!Wheelchair accessibility: It is pretty friendly, but just be careful because they do have a ramp —”
“Authentic Taiwanese boba shop. Very large size. Boba is very chewy very delicious. One thing about their milk tea is that you can taste real tea leaves with strong flavor, which is really good.Various flavors to choose from. Their sugar level is adjustable (personally don’t like too sweet, always get quarter sugar)**Use cash! They charge additional fee for using card!”
“Food is better than Banana Bay.Very delicious, fast and fresh ❤️Shrimp fried rice, Chicken lettuce wraps, Mongolian Beef, Beef Noodles and their desserts are amazing.”
“Authentic flavor. Delicious foods. Very attentive servers. We ordered steam chicken in spicy sauce, toothpicks lambs, fried soft bone chicken and fried pork intestines. All dishes came out piping hot and crispy. Strong flavors with numbing sichuan peppers. They did not disappoint.”
“3.75 star overall. 2nd take-out visit two days in a row. Surprised at the portion and good taste given the overall 3 star review. My family was pretty satisfied with the taste and would return. Tastes authentic and do-able.4.5 star food. On Both take out orders, the skewers felt a little cooler than I was expecting to be fresh off the grill. But the taste is good and portion is much larger than Little Skewers, so this alone makes it feel more worth it to return.3 star service. Service was average typical China-Chinese, non-American style. Waited quite a long time to order take out as they seems to be busy & short staffed Friday night around 10 pm. Ordered again next evening on Saturday around 5:30 pm and barely any customers at that time so the order was fast.3 star other. Friday night, the restaurant dining area and the whole plaza, in general, smells like cigarettes. So many smokers seem to hang out in that plaza at that time. Not a pleasant smell walking around. The restaurant also habitually leaves cardboard containers and boxes out on the walkway (right outside the restaurant kitchen door) which makes the restaurant look very China-ghetto. I wish they didn’t do that. Is that even legal to be leaving trash out on the walkway like that? So the standard of cleanliness and organization brings down the restaurant a notch.Overall, I would return from time to time if I happen to feel like it.”
“Idk why this place has such low ratings on yelp. The portion is so big and food tastes good. Service was quick and nice. You can order by scanning the card on the table. Feels like a small hole in the wall. Really great price for current economy. I would definitely come back again.”

“All the meats are so fresh, I love beef tongue the most. As some comments suggested, don't cook too long so I cooked majority of those as medium rare, which tastes really good. Service is also good, they always gave big smile. Not like some other bbq restaurants, there is no smoke, it's like high level Japanese bbq restaurants. For sure I'll come back!”
“I had a reservation for 2:15pm and didn't get seated till 2:45pm. Ordered from the dinner menu and our soup had one mushroom and a few green onions. They had no onions for the day according to our server. We were offered no lunch menu even though we were there for lunch. On a more positive note our chef was a five start professional!”
“Food was good and quick the only way this place for me to get a 5 star is the fuego is not spicy at all more like mild...but if u add the habanero aioli it makes it a 10 good spice to it recommend the habanero aioli for kick.”
“You had dinner in this area and are looking for dessert and you end up in this cute little crepe shop with the best variety of crepes available in the area. The place is cozy, good service, and has amazing crepe. I would definitely recommend you to try this after your meal here or even get some and share it with friends and family if it seems too much for one person. The shop also has a good selection of drinks and other delicacies too.”
“It has been our second visit to this location and we've loved all the drinks we've gotten there. We live in NorCal and always make a spot to grab a drink here on the way in to see family in corona ca. I can tell their matcha is great quality and their selections of teas are blend well with the matcha. They have soft served too which is even more fun but hard in a good way when you want a drink and soft served ahah. They didn't have any more boba when we we there and hoping that is always available is small batches until they close so they don't waste it, cause it was yummy the last time we had it. I wish they had bathrooms available for customers for those who want to sit and hang or come far. We drove 5 hours and my baby needed to be changed as we were ordering and we didn't have anywhere to, they told us to go somewhere else, but hoping that maybe have something for paying customers for convenience as I'm sure their employees have a place to use. Parking can be bad on weekends as it's in a plaza with a lot of other yummy food/drink places, but recommend it's worth a spot if you love matcha and good boba tea. The place is small intimate with about 3 tables to sit and hang for a short time. Will still come back for the drinks and soft served!”

“The food was great the pork and cabbage dumplings with soy sauce were bomb. Ordered both bafang signature ramen and another spicy ramen but they both tasted almost the same and almost no spicy so if you add more chili sauce that they provide be generous with it to get the spice. I also got the mini wonton soup which was also really good, the wontons were perfect no complaints and the broth was a great compliment to the wontons. If you like more flavor fry mixing in the chili sauce and some ginger sauce that they have in and trust it elevates it a lot. Their soy mango drink is also really good not too sweet and I added boba which went really good with it. 9/10 would definitely go again but not so much for the ramen because there want enough spice to call it spicy and both spicy ramens tasted the same.”

“Food is not great, and the waitress keeps forgetting the orders and bringing wrong ones. You need to keep asking for things. The mariachi ladies were excellent, and the owner was very friendly. I will come back just for the mariachi.”
“I'm not a meat eater, but had a delicious grilled cheese. Service is very friendly! I would love a beef alternative on the menu one day...? Please.?Vegetarian options: They offer a grilled cheese sandwich. I would love to see a beef alternative on the menu one day..? Very nice chain, with an additional vegetarian option it would offer choices to more folks? ?”
“Our waitress was perfect. She was patient and answered all of the questions that my dad and I had. She explained that this location no longer serves pitchers of beer, nor do they have any buckets for bucket of beers. But she found a couple of water pitchers and made us a bucket anyway. My complaint is this, the franchise needs to update their HAPPY HOUR menu. If an item or product is not being sold or not available anymore, remove it from the menu! Our poor server wasted a lot of her time explaining what wasn't available.”
“Food selections are easy and plentiful with amazing fast service from their staff! The whole ambience of this place is very luxurious from the food to the interior decor.”
