“Vegan items have the extra challenge of tasting and looking like its non-vegan counterpart, and most don't hit the mark. I was hesitant to try vegan food, but I loved Green Green Trees! Expect fresh food that's true to Taiwanese flavors. I think it was the best Taiwanese bento I've tried in the 626 so far, since a lot of them tend to be greasy, cheap, and undercooked. Tried the lions mane mushroom bento, pudding, and the sweet and sour "chicken" bento. The chicken and mushrooms was really good! And although the vegetables were just steamed with minimal seasoning, the entrees were layered with flavor. I didn't mind-- I felt that it made the meal healthy and balanced. The pudding was also "eggy" and sweet. Altho the color looks a little different than most puddings, it's understandable since it is a vegan dessert (and it was good)! It's evident that the owner is passionate about healthy and delicious cooking. From the fork-tender food to the quality of ingredients used, Green Green Trees hits all the marks: generously nutritious, homely, and delicious meals that will ALSO impress your traditionalist immigrant parents. While the owner is retiring soon, I hope that the rebrand to this business goes well! 加油!“
“This place has real avocado and taro smoothies, and make a lot of their menu items fresh. It's just the two of them working now usually but the owners are wonderful.Vegetarian options: They offer milk substitutes for their drinksParking: Spaces are a bit tight“
“Local Restaurant, Budget-Friendly, and Old-School CuisineIt was my last meal in LA for this trip, and Cindy's was our final choice! In brief, Cindy's Kitchen offered delicious food at a budget-friendly price.The portions were generous, especially the Beef Noodle soup – it absolutely must-have. The side dishes were also excellent and served as good time-killers. It seems this place is taken care of by only one friendly Ta-Jie (Big Sister). So food may take a bit longer time than usual.“
“Everything about the tea here is super high quality. I got a hot oolong tea which came in a really nice cup with a fancy lid that you can re-seal.The flavor of the tea was amazing and each sip was really flavorful.The machine they use to make this tea must be patented or at least really high end. One of the best teas I've had.“
“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.“
“As a Taiwanese in California there’s not a lot of really “good authentic” restaurants, but I’ve lived I. Rowland heights for so many years now and this is by far my favorite stinky tofu restaurant ever and they have amazing service, super kind staff, you can sit outside or inside! Super great and love the food!“
“A very quiet place located in a non-descriptive strip mall. You will miss if it you are not paying attention.Run by a family, its lot a limited menu focused on Taiwanese bento boxes. For $10, you get rice, soup, 2-3 vegetable side dishes, and your choice of 3 main dishes that rotate every day. It's generous and really perfect. The meal tastes home-cooked.This is a great option if you need something that feels like home.Bento box menu is in Cantonese and changes out every 2 weeks. There might be a regular menu, but I can't read Cantonese. The nice folks do speak a limited amount of English and just need to know which of the 3 options you want.Mushroom-bamboo fish was excellent.“
“The spicy bacon jerky will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. That's all you need to know. I know. What could be so amazing about jerky? Well let me tell you. This is the most succulent, flavorful, JUICY, jerky you'll ever put in your mouth. It's a little pricey but so worth it. They use a Chinese method to make it juicy but this will RUIN grocery store jerky for you“
“Comfort food!! Delicious variety of soups and garlic noodles! The garlic noodles were packed with flavor and the green sauce that came with it was AMAZING! I like my soup hot so it was nice to have it boiling and you’re able to request it to turn off at anytime. I also love the dipping sauces. Service was AMAZING! Everyone was so friendly and we even got some milk tea at the end of our meal??“
“This reminds me a little bit of the rolls you'd find in Taipei food markets...got me feeling a little bit nostalgic :') It's definitely a unique food that you normally don't see very often across SGV/626 regions. Don't sleep on it, give this place a try! Very friendly owners as well. We were told that the most popular options was the Spicy Fried Chicken and the Marinated Beef. Both were good! I liked the spicy fried chicken just a tad bit more. Loved how crispy the chicken was! I definitely want to go back and try the Cumin Lamb as that was also another popular option. We ordered the regular size and surprisingly satisfied our hunger for me and my bf. I think the large size means they give more meat - not that the roll is bigger. If you have a big appetite, I think this could also be a great option for a snack!“
“It might say City of Industry, but really it's located in the Asian Food Epicenter of Rowland Heights. What a fantastic and delicious restaurant. Especially during the winter days. This Tasty Pot is spacious, clean, with plenty of parking. The staff are very attentive. Jason and Minh were amazing. I ordered the Taiwanese, Lamb and Beef, medium and spicy level. They were prepared with the perfect amount of meat, veggies and noddles. The broth wasn't too salty, which allow each customer to adjust to their preference with the open sauce bar. They had a variety of boba drinks as well. Try the Rose Matcha, you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be back to THIS location when I'm in the LA area.“
“Newly opened in Rowland Heights for Dumplings and Shao long Bao. The menu is limited for pan fried dumplings and Shss as o long Zbso but it was tasty. The dipping sauce station was cool. Ready made sauce and you can mix your own concoctions. Clean and spacious and the staff is very nice and accommodating. Will come back and try other dishes.“
“Monday 12/4/23 Dinner at Earthern Restaurant in Hacienda Heights with my cousin. Good Chinese foods. One the the best jelly fish dish I’ve ever had; crunchy, sweet, salty, and flavorful paired with cucumbers. The shredded pork with bamboo shoots were savory with the crunch of the bamboo shoots paired it with perfectly.The restaurant has a nice and clean decor.David YoungRestaurant Enthusiast“
“This is an interesting spot. It's in a mall where many of the signs don't even bother with English which is a good sign. You know you will probably get something authentic. I was passing through the area and came solo for lunch. The main dining area was filled with large round tables and was filled with customers. I was ushered to a small room with small tables for small parties like me. I asked what they were famous for and she directed me to the black cod. At $42 it was a bit pricey for lunch so I went for the three cup casserole with chicken.I'd say the food was good. Didn't blow my socks off but I would definitely come back. Service was great.“
“We ordered takeouts of stewed pork and bbq pork sandwich. The stewed pork’s flavor was okay, but the lean part of the pork was not too tough. The bbq pork sandwich was very good and authentic. So this place averages a 3.5 star.Parking: Spaces are tight here.“
“This place does hit the spot when you are craving some soup. It's a small hole in the wall where there is just 1 cook and a server/cook. The server fries stuff as well if you order anything that needs frying. I like the old man's soup that has a little bit of tendon, beef, and tripe. Little veggies but it is enough for one person. Great on a cold day. Only bad part is that if the server goes out for a smoke, he smokes right by the door and you can smell it inside. They also don't ask if you want anything to drink like water so you gotta tell them if you want anything and not assume you'll automatically get it. Other than drinks, beef noodle soup is good. The tonkatsu ramen was a bit salty but noodles where still good. Will come back for my beef soup.“
“Absolutely delicious Beef Shank Soup and I'm going to try the Pork Broth in a bit. Delicious, hats off to the owner for recommending such a tasty thing.Definitely a must try, Super clean and well seasoned, don't add any spices. It's just perfect.“
“My friend Dopey brought me here for my first time to try the popcorn chicken specifically! There are 3 spice levels i chose mild, never have I had such juicy perfectly crisp bites of chicken hands down the best i had. There is such a huge menu to choose from heard the fried porkchop is delicious. I there is a wide variety of jelly which is really cool i got a taro with rainbow jelly. I definitely recommend this place.“
“Never realized I never left a review for this place. Always a go-to for my Taiwanese comfort food cravings. Very mom & pop run, makes it feel like home. Very accommodating as well whenever I was making a rush order during busy times or even now right before they were to close. Consistent food quality and always available/nearby is great as well.“
“This small eatery has been around for a while with new proprietor every few years The current proprietors are friendly and welcoming. Today, we had the 3-cup chicken, which was made up with one cup of chicken, one cup of cooking wine and one cup of garlics. Overall, it was delicious but just a bit too sweet. The other dish we had was the stewed pork over rice and it was decent. This place’s top choice is the traditional beef noodles where you can order all beef meat or 1/2 beef meat and 1/2 tendons. I’ve tried the 1/2 beef meat and 1/2 tendons before and it was pretty good. The menu offered a lot of typical lunch dishes that are popular in Taiwan and you should be able to find something new to try.Vegetarian options: Some options were available, but I won’t come here just to ear vegetarian dishes.Parking: There is a big lot here.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, barely. This is a tiny strip mall eatery.“
“One of my favorite Taiwanese eateries in the area! If you google and search for red grain pork, this is the only restaurant that pops up, at least in the LA/OC areas. I can't seem to find the red grain pork aka juicy fried pork goodness anywhere else! I also had their pork congee which was a bit salty but I highly recommend their red grain pork and Taiwanese sausage“
“I went here last night with my husband around 11 pm. There was plenty of seating and we were greeted quickly. Good Ramen places are hard to find. I love that they have a selection of different noodles you can choose from. Everything was so delicious. As a first timer I highly recommend the special beef soup. Also their milk tea and fruit tea is so good. I definitely plan to return again.“
“I walked in, 1:00pm place looks barely lit.The staff was talking in the back, not knowing a customer comes in due to no door bell besides a ringer on desk.Food selection menu was not confusing. I always try the popcorn chicken dish of Asian restaurants.Popcorn chicken rice is enough for 13.99. I paid with my visa no charge.I told her non spicy on the chicken. I forgot to confirm if the white cabbage is spicy.Meh it was not spicy enough to inedible, so I let it slide.The things I’d like to see improvement:- some kind of door bell on the door that notifies the customer.- pull out seats for customer before hand. It was awkward a bit if a woman has to pull out the chair from a stacked bunch.- drink option can improve a bit. The drink in the fridge does not entice me enough to order them with my popcorn chicken.- plain tea or water dispenserNot sure the set up is due to Covid or not.But overall, the food is good. The portion is enough for single guy as an in between lunch.I’d come back if I am around“
“Same comments as I have for the MP Location:I know Cocary doesn't always get the best reviews. Some of it is probably service related, some of it is from the age of the venue and that there have not been many updates made since they opened. However, I have been going to Cocary on and off since I was about 6/7, since before they were at this location and started down the street.For me, it's been consistent. I know what I'm craving when I go and I know what I'm going to get.My go tos are veggies and mushrooms in the soup with the occasional pork blood cubes. Lamb for BBQ on the grill portion. Usually white rice but the occasional craving for the yam congee. I can usually go through 2-3 plates of the lamb and just whatever veggies I have room for that day.One of my favorites is the broth. I will usually sit there and go through 3-4 bowls of broth each time I'm there.Two complaints that I do have, it's hard to keep the grill portion of the cooktop hot enough to get color on the meat while also not hard boiling everything in the pot. If the soup becomes too condensed, then I just add some water so it doesn't get too salty.And on a hot summer day, the AC isn't on very high in the dining room. It usually set to 82-84 and eating hot pot causes sweat but I still go anyways lol. Just drink enough ice water and eat quick.I know that sometimes when it gets busy, it takes a while for them to round back to the table for service. I don't mind getting things like water, broth or extra bowls and plates on my own since they are out in the open area and easily accessible for guests. Since you already have to cook the food yourself, I don't mind self-service add-ons either.I also tend to go for lunch when there is a discount. So I can usually fill my belly and go home happy at around $25.Definitely a place I will be visiting often.“
“Do not be fooled with the bad reviews! The food is was so good, my whole family each ordered Combo C. All four of us devoured our food until our bowls were empty. The fried pork was so soft and the crunch on the outside was perfect. Along with the noodles were very soft but light in flavor, so this is paired well with the pork! New family favorite restaurant!I mean don't take food to go, because it is best eaten freshly cooked.Making this review because the reviews shocked me as I would this restaurant a 5/5!“
“The Tustin location has introduced a new dish, after seeing it on Instagram, I couldn't resist giving it a try!Initially, I was concerned that the crispy skin might make the chicken dry, but my worries were quickly dispelled with the first bite—it was incredibly juicy!Of course, I couldn't resist ordering dumplings as well. For me, dumplings are the epitome of Chinese cuisine, so I make sure to order them every time I visit.“
“We visited the area and stopped by to try based on reviews and we were happy we did! Bottom line is we tasted ‘authentic feel’ we haven’t experienced anywhere else. We aren’t sure if it was the ingredients or the recipe, the taste put us back in local food we experienced in Taipei.Everything we had (pictured below) were excellent.“
“If this rating is for the food is is 5-star as this place is famous for the Taiwanese pork chops. Even though is mainly ate with rice I love their pork chops with soup noodle. The reason for 4 star is that it seem like a mom and pop shop so don't expect friendly customer service as I went today by myself and they don't even give me one napkin but gave other table who has 3 people. Also, their appetizer includes pig ears which I like but tried to order last 2 times they don't have it maybe discontinued but still on the menu. It's a small restaurant so not a lot of seats. Definitely not the best place to go if u have a big group more than 4.“
“Portion and price was good! I got the popcorn chicken as a late night snack. 1 star deducted because of service. The lady was helping me but as soon as another customer came in...she seems to jump onto them immediately and I am just...air (and neglected) lol“
“I recently visited Boiling Point and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. Unlike other similar establishments, this Boiling Point location stood out to me in several ways. Firstly, I found the taste of the food to be superior, which made my dining experience even more enjoyable.Additionally, I appreciated that the waiting time was relatively short compared to what I've experienced at other places. This made the entire dining process more convenient and efficient.Most notably, I was satisfied to discover that I could order unlimited rice and receive double the amount of meat. This added value to my meal and left me feeling very satisfied with my dining experience.Overall, I highly recommend Boiling Point for its delicious food, short waiting times, and generous serving options. I will definitely be returning for more!“
“Really enjoyed this place. I wanted one of everything all at the same time. I opted for the Sirloin steak on a hot sizzling lava stone, so it never ever got cold. It's a little more fatty than I like, but it's still really good.“
“We have been eating here for many, many years, and Jazz Cat has maintained its tasty hot pots throughout. The crowds of people arent there anymore, probably because of BP and lots of other choices, but honestly Jazz Cat has more soup selections, sauces, and also has good appetizers/sides. I’m a fan!“
“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 ?.“
“I went to buy takeout on chinese new year. the long queue of lines compared to the restaurant next door was a telling sign the food here must be good. We ordered the beef chow fun and fish fillets. They were still warm and tasty by the time I brought it home. My parents liked the food at this location. We definitely want to come back here to try more of the dishes when we have another family gathering. The waiter that helped take my order was kind even with all the chaos of the chinese new year. My order took a little bit longer to come back due to the large crowds but I was able to run other errands and come back for my food on time when my food was ready.“
“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.“
“I ordered the Taiwanese sizzling steak with black pepper sauce, and it took me on a trip down memory lane to one of the Taiwanese night markets. The steak was juicy and tender, placed atop spaghetti noodles on a sizzling iron plate covered in the black pepper sauce, which added a flavorful but subtly spicy kick. Additionally, I added some ketchup to the spaghetti for a sweet and tangy flavor (optional and rooted in childhood nostalgia).The pig's blood rice cake was a bit on the dry side.I'd recommend sticking to the sizzling steak, as it appears to be their specialty.Service was excellent!“
“this place does not sell tea. despite its name. i think its under new ownership and needs a new name.they have some soup noodles, rice and dumpling dishes. i had a sour pickled meat soup noodle dish that i devoured and it tasted on point. my friend got the 'minced pork' with egg veggie and rice and it looked yummy too. there's only one person doing everything, so service is a bit slow. plenty of spaces to sit and eat. overall, enjoyed my meal here!“

“This is always our yoga sisters favorite hang out place: we ordered big fried chicken steak, tofu with sausage, popcorn chicken, fried pork blood & tempura! As for hot pot, we had pumpkin, tomatoes, mushrooms flavors & spicy mala Taiwanese styles! The food are delicious, great atmosphere, excellent service & cute decoration! Strongly recommended good restaurant!“
“The location has a nice ambiance and is relatively clean inside. The people working there were able to get two drinks done in 5 minutes or so and answered the questions I had regarding their sweetener levels and typical drinks quickly. We ordered a matcha milk tea and peach mango berry slushy. The slushy is very sweet at the default sweetness (if you enjoy fruity drinks with a lot of sugar this would be a good pick) and had actual chunks of the fruit in it, which is a fairly good feature. However, the matcha milk tea did not seem to have much matcha in it at all (notably lacking the flavor and color, giving off the impression of too much milk) and tasted something like a Hokkaido roasted milk tea rather than matcha. Despite this, their boba was very chewy and flavorful so I am giving it 4 stars for the other drink and the boba texture.“
“This mom and pop restaurant is pretty good. I've been wanting to try this place and glad we did. Took my dad and mom there after their urgent care visit, and they really enjoyed everything. We ordered the soup dumpling, and my son loved it! It wasn't soupy, but it was tasty. We also got the shrimp mayo, we cleaned the plate pretty good on that one (input for the restaurant, doilies are unnecessary for any dish). Chicken fried rice was also made perfectly. And steamed bok choi, at first I thought it was a bit overcooked, but it's actually pretty good, don't forget to ask for the sauce. Definitely a hard-working family, the kids were really helpful and smart. Good job, guys!“
