“This is THE place to get popcorn chicken in the 626! I've been coming to P P Pop for awhile now and I have yet to have anything I didn't like. The popcorn chicken serving here is huge, and the chicken is really moist and flavorful. I get mild spice and it's pretty spicy imo! The beef noodle soup is also a favorite of mine. I love the chewiness of the noodles and the beef chunks always fall apart. The drinks are served in huuuge cups so that's also very worth the price. Service is always great and they're very comfortable speaking English.“
“Denny is enough of a reason to go here as any! Great service and he's someone who clearly cares about his customers (checking in with everyone and even helping someone retrieve their phone from an Uber). The atmosphere was comfortable - not fancy, but homey. I'm veg, so not the best judge of the food (I heard the beef soup noodles were great), but I enjoyed the food as well.“
“There's a reason why NBC Seafood has been in business for so many years. If you know Monterey Park and Alhambra area well, you'd see restaurants come and go so often that it would not be a surprise if you go to the same restaurant the second time and the name has been changed .NBC Seafood is a very good and authentic Cantonese food restaurant. Great place for a family gathering. Food is fantastic and quickly served. Everything seems to come out all at the same time so you'd get to enjoy everything at the same time.We had a party of 9 and we had a great time. And they always give free desserts.I highly recommend this place.“
“The food was delicious!! My friend and I ordered 6 different plates because we couldn't narrow it down to a few. My favorites were the wonton soup and the lemon pork. The chicken fried rice was also good, uniquely salted, which we both enjoyed. The only downside was the service. We got food but no water or drinks that we ordered until we couldn't find our server for 30 minutes, and the gal bussing the tables helped us. It happens. We will be back because we have more to try. The menu's enormous.Parking: Park behind the restaurant.“
“The foods were awesome, and my favorite was actually the chicken skin and pork intestine. The pork intestine wasn’t smelly like you get from other restaurants. The flavor of the chicken skin was sweet and crunchy. The food got here very fast and we finished all the food within an hour. It is a great place to gather up with friends!“
“How rare is it to find authentic xi’an noodles? Very. We read the review on LA times about this place and popped over to try today. Loved every bite of the cumin lamb noodle, Liang pi, pork burger and more. It is hard to find authentic mum&pop place these days, so happy wen hui exists. We will be back,“
“My first time here trying their food. Since I don’t eat too spicy, so I ordered the non spicy dishes. The fish head and tofu soup was very delicious and full of flavor, but of course lots of bones. Just need to be careful when serving the fish with young kids and seniors. The Yeung Chow fried rice had lots of shrimps, but no BBQ pork. It’s a little bit oily, but tasted good. Maybe I will ask for less oil if I order any fried rice dishes.“
“The food is good. We ordered pan fried pork bun (also called shengjian mantou), chicken wing, spicy wonton, signature fried fish, and Mongolian beef. Food came with large quantities, we three people couldn’t finish the food and had some take home.I came for pan fried pork bun, it’s really not that authentic, but still good. My favorite was spicy wonton, but still, the filling was not that amazing. The rest of dishes, I’d say, is good, but kinda Americanized.The restaurant was crowded, (maybe always :), 10min wait at least. so recommend come early, or join the waitlist online.“
“Pretty good and different options for noodles and noodle soup. Plaza it's in is also nice and has parking. However, the combos are sorta expensive and no longer allow you to choose the appetizer. And the biang biang noodles themselves don't come with meat. But still tasty“
“Food: 4/5 The crispy pork was a bit hard and dry and the beef tendon slices was too thin and can grill a little longer so that it doesn't taste rubbery. However, the rest of the items were very flavorful and juicy. I have tried a few skewer places and I have to say, the quality and amount of meat is very good. Service: 5/5 Our server was nice and he called out the name of the items he brought out. Ambience: 4/5 Love the overhead projectors and the big screens all around the walls. They also have a good selection of playlists. However, the bench can use a bit better cushioning because it was kind of low. All in all, it's a good skewer place to eat with friends. I would come back again and recommend this place if you want good quality meat and affordability.“
“Tried the recommended breakfast combo with hot coffee. Would recommend at least two or more to avoid a heavy carb meal/get some protein within budget.Parking: Came during non-rush hours. No comment on rush hours. Having a free parking lot is a plus in this neighborhood.“
“It's been awhile since I've gone to these classic Cantonese restaurants. Usually I would go to these type of places with my family because the dishes are meant for family style. I was able to check out this place with a group of friends. We rented out a separate room for the large party. We got their set menu that included 10items for $658: appetizer combo platter(5item), Peking Duck, baked truffle oil lobster with noodle, mixed seafood crab soup, scallop and shrimp corn, snow pea leaf with golden crab meat sauce, Chiu Chow style steamed whole black cod, filet mignon cubes in black pepper sauce, and Taiwanese style BBQ eel top on sticky rice, sesame rice ball sweet soup. They gave us tanyuan in sweet egg soup as dessert as well as the passion fruit jello. Overall, I think the quality of the food was pretty decent. I really enjoyed the food here. It's definitely on the expensive side. They also provided really good service to us. One of the waiter Vin Chee even performed a small magic show to us at the end. He's an aspiring actor from Singapore. My overall experience was very positive. We stayed from 12:00 to almost 3:00. I would bring my family back here. Also, there's a lot of celebrities that eaten here. I think that's pretty cool.“
“Whoa! James Wang got replaced on the placemats here. Eating at any Hong Kong Cafe like this, one would expect to be spending some quality time munching on James Wang's face; well, a new year a new face. It's a big hkg menu here, you won't be bored.“
“Came here after a long road trip with a big group and had an amazing experience! Great menu selection, and server helped recommend what to order, what dishes, vegetables, meats, noodles etc. Food came out quickly, they gave us a little cart for everything. They frequently came to clear empty dishes and help if we needed to order more. I highly recommend the scallion crispy pancake! The sauces are great, even better when mixed. The soup tasted great and we took some home too :) Highly recommend this place.“
“We went there in the evening for the dinner and it was amazing. Even though this might be the first review for this restaurant, I always eat in here and the taste was amazing. I usually go with the dry pot and it was so delicious and they served the food very fast as long as you ordered it.“
“We went here on Sat around 12:00 noon. The plaza is doing remodeling now. You only can take elevator to the restaurant on the 5th floor. You check in with a lady and she gives you a ticket with a number. You wait in the lobby till your number is called.The service is slow and you need to be aggressive to ask for food, and services. Overall experience is fun and food is good.“
“Taken a few friends here as they heard of this place being so good. I've been here before on a dumpling crawl. The pies here are filled with meat packed with flavor and juices. You'll have to vent the pie before biting into it or risk squirting your neighbor when the juices escape the pie.“
“Plenty kinds of noodles. It's authentic restaurant. You can pick up the slides and take out. The flavor of tomato soup is rich and sweet. The beef inside is soft and tender. And the volume is soooo big and full. The lamp kebab is also good. The dining experience is good and the food delivery speed is fast. The environment here is clean and bright. It is a large noodle shop with many types of soups to choose from, such as braised tomato soup with oil, pork bones and golden soup. waitYou can choose the type of noodles from thin noodles to wide noodles similar to shaved noodles. There are also a variety of side dishes and drinks to choose from.Tomato Beef Noodles have a strong tomato flavor. There is a lot of beef and it is very tender. The overall portion is so large that two people can eat one bowl. The oil is a bit oily but very fragrant.The mutton skewers are very fragrant and the dipping sauce is also very fragrant.The environment is very clean and bright, and the food is served very quickly. Recommended“
“This is a small local mom & pop restaurant. The food doesn't look fancy but it's very good. We have been going to this restaurant for years. We are so glad that their business survived COVID. My favorite appetizer is a cold dish called mala beef. The meat ball (lion head) is very good. The noodles and house fried rice are yummy too.“
“Been coming here for years. My go to spot when u want something to hit the spot. The place is always busy from open to close, so expect to wait. Parking is horrible but the Food is excellent at this location. They have several other locations, but this is hands down the best. Things to order - House Special Rice Noodle with or without soup.Wonton egg noodle soup.Beef chow fun.Chinese Donut Their Satay sauce is the best - a good amount of spice and packed full of flavor.“
“The last time I had Guilin noodles was when I was in Guilin and purposes some roadside. It was served in a plastic bag, but it was one of the more comforting noodles I've had. Years later I noticed a few Guilin noodles place pop up. I decided to give this high Yelp-rated one a try!Food: Guilin noodles in soup with medium spice level - Thicker yet smooth rice noodles in a savory broth. Medium spice is perfect for me. Came with sliced meats and some pickled vegetables. Service: Very friendly wait staff. The waitress made various recommendations. She sold me on the chrysanthemum tea. It was good! Environment: The outdoor seating area is larger than the indoor seating. Came here on a weekday for lunch and it was near empty. Price: It's pretty reasonably priced for a large bowl of noodle soup. Food: 4Service: 5Environment: 4Price: 5“
“When I'm craving Singaporean food I head to this local favorite. They've been around for a long time and I'm so glad they persisted through Covid. Only place that has the best Singaporean Vermicelli Noodles in the SGV. Also have to get their Laksa Noodles too! They definitely deserve better ratings. Friendly service.“
“Kimtar far exceeded my expectations of being quality, delicious food with great service! Our server was attentive, friendly and professional and the food was so flavorful and fresh! I especially liked the chow mein and the kung pao chicken! I drove 40 minutes because a friend told me about this restaurant and let me tell you it was well worth it! I will definitely be returning and telling all my friends and family. Thank you Kimtar for a memorable evening!“
“Total hidden gem that I discovered (omg) 20 years ago. I have to say it's the closest you can get to authentic taiwanese food in Los Angeles. You will be sitting among loyal customers that visit at least a few times a week. The lady here is like an old friend and there is just her and the chef. There is usually never a wait and they open late. Check the hours before you go. One of our favorites in LA. Dishes we recommend include Taiwanese fried chicken, stinky tofu, and shrimp fried rice. All the stir fries are good. CASH Only.“
“Certified by Tianjin people, the authentic Tianjin mung bean noodle pancakes and fruits have the same taste as those sold at the stalls in front of your home. The tofu curd and candies are also good. Everything is cheap and comes in a big bowl. The store is not big but there are many people. Come early.“
“The best skewers ever. We drove seven or eight hours from Northern California to eat. The ingredients are fresh and taste great. There is a man who looks like the boss and is very nice. We were served quickly knowing we were hungry. Thank you for the delicious food. See you next month.“
“It is a classic Hong Kong-style diner that's wallet-friendly and a neighborhood favorite. I've known JJ Hong Kong Cafe since early 2013 and just rediscovered it again! My boyfriend and I were looking for HK food and this restaurant came up on our Google search. Everything from the backdoor entrance to the window seat my parents and I sat before, the memories came rushing back! I'm so glad to see they offered all my favorites, plus, a wide variety of options from baked pastas to club sandwiches to sizzling pots - all of which reflect the mix of Asian and Western culture. We enjoyed 4 dishes: Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings 椒鹽雞翼, Salt & Pepper Tofu, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce 鱼香茄子, and New York Steak. We ordered to take leftovers home because we got too excited with the feeling of nostalgia. The portion sizes were generous, especially considering the reasonable prices. While everything wasn't mind-blowingly amazing, it certainly delivers great value for the price. I did wish the dishes were served at a higher temperature, or maybe it got cold pretty quickly because of the cold weather - not sure. The Eggplant with Garlic Sauce 鱼香茄子 was my favorite out of all 4 dishes - the eggplant was cooked perfectly soft and had a generous coating of the sauce. My boyfriend was pleasantly surprised at the New York Steak's portion and thoroughly enjoyed it! The restaurant is located right on the corner of Garvey and Ynez Avenue so you can't miss it. Parking is located in the back of the restaurant lot on Ynez Avenue. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a great experience and took note they are open till 1 AM Friday-Sunday and 12 AM regularly. We will definitely be back!“
“so good! my wife's first time and she got the mixed veggie plate, the broth was so full of flavor and all the veggies crunched. my spicy thai fried rice was perfect! definitely spicy though, and it's a big serving so if you love spicy, i highly recommend.“
“My favorite Chinese food in LA. Vegan, delicious, family style, and they have a free parking garage. I always get the orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, or the sizzling black pepper beefVegetarian options: Everything is veganDietary restrictions: Vegan restaurant with gf optionsParking: Free parking garage attached to the plazaKid-friendliness: Kids eat hereWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible from the street“
“I was craving some dim sum in the early morning of Thanksgiving so I yelped a place and Ocean Island popped up and it had good reviews so I checked it out.Lo and behold...... I'm always in this plaza for GW market. It's so easy to miss since is so small.Anyways, it was popping and I didn't want to eat toooo much before thanksgiving dinner, so i ordered the BBQ rice noodle and some deep fried dumplings and can't forge the chicken feet!So delicious, came here twice in a week. My new favorite take out dim sum place.“
“My wife and I both love Asian food and my wife has been wanting hand made noodles. We live in the San Fernando Valley and we haven't found any hand made noodles in our area. So I looked on the Internet for the best hand rolled noodles and Kam Hong Garden came in second. I told my wife that we were going to dinner but I didn't tell her where. We drove for over 1hrs in the rain ?️ and traffic. We were greeted and sat down right away. Their menus are different from the picture on the website. We ordered the Beef Stew with Hand Rolled Noodles Soup and also the Leek with Minced Shrimp Boiled Dumplings and also the Saute Spicy Shrimp ?. We were so surprised when they brought out the food. The portions were huge and so very flavorful. Their Hand Rolled Noodles were the best Noodle we've ever eaten. If you want real Hand Rolled Noodles this is the restaurant that you have to come to. We took our leftovers home and had a wonderful lunch the next day.“
“This place is still KING of the sliced means (I tried Miao Yun, VERY GOOD, one-stop-shop for all your hot pot meats) but this place still has a better quality beef slices. I will give credit where credit is due. This place has been cash only for years and years, Miao Yun opened up in this plaza as their competition and took credit cards, Deerfield Garden took notice and also started to accept credit cards. Their meat is priced reasonably similarly (just a little bit more) but I found that little extra in the price you are getting your value for sure. The meat definitely tastes fresher and the cuts aren't as fatty. They're a lot more consistent here in the beef slices. Miao Yun sometimes is very fatty to sometimes less fatty, every day is a little different. Neither Deerfield Garden or Miao Yun are bad choices. If you're looking to save a little money and not have to go to 99 Ranch to pick up the rest of your hot pot fixings, Miao Yun, they're perfect. They also have a wider selection of weight to choose from, so you're not stuck with just 1lb or 3lb of meat. You can easily get 2lbs if you want. They're very flexible with that, Deerfield Garden on the other hand isn't flexible with its weight. If you're looking for a high-quality hot pot experience with high-quality cut beef or meats or making a meat dish that requires sliced meats, go to Deerfield Garden- their meats always make my hot pot taste like it's from an expensive hot pot restaurant. Maio Yun meats taste more in line with 99 Ranch, with a more made-at-home flavor and quality to it.“
“I only got to go here so I'm just here to rate the one item I got which is the string beans. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was crunchy. I've started to give up on mama Lu's because it's 50/50 there whether or not it's good. Here there's a good amount of meat in the dish. It did not come with rice nor any utensils but whatever. I don't need that. Parking is a small lot. Credit card accepted.“
“This place is tucked into a small plaza right next to the Courtyard Marriott hotel. We went here twice in three days. We were a little skeptical at first because of the review but the food is superb and is traditional spicy Hunan cuisine. If it matters to you - no MSG used in the dishes, you can tell. We had stir fried cauliflower, diced frog, pickled green beans with minced pork, stewed red chili tofu, all were tremendous. Portions are good and not stingy.“
“This is truly a mom and pop owned and operated Chinese village style restaurant. No carts, just order from the menu or pictures on the wall.The owners are very nice and take care of you like family.The food is absolutely delicious and each item has its own unique taste, flavor and aroma.The lamb skewers are a specialty here which no other Dim Sum place offers.Best to go for breakfast when it's slow and a table available right away. Enjoy“
“Lobster with Yee-Fu noodle is amazing! I ordered two times in my travel duration.I’ve ordered 3 dishes, totally they were good. Every time when I visited I saw a lot of guests. I don’t know why the point is low, but I think at least Lobster with Yee-Fu noodle won’t disappoint anyone.“
“This is one of the closer places I could find 肉夹馍 rou jia mo (Chinese hamburger), so I stopped by and have a try. We just came back from a trip to Xi ‘A which is the birthplace of this food. The taste was ok. They added some chopped green pepper which I don’t think the authentic version has it. The bun is also a bit more burnt compared to the authentic version. Overall not too bad but just don’t expect it’s the original version!“
“This place is great with lots of food options and it's self serve so you can grab your own meats and veggies as you can choose whatever and how many you want. They offer alot of meats and veggies and well kept in fridges. Been going to this place and enjoy it, will return once again soon.“
