“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!”
“Me and my wife went to yesterday on The 151 day before Father's Day add. Reservations service is fantastic and the food is better than the Boiling crab. Add the crab shack And any Other crab places I give Them a rating Five Plus”
“Surprisingly good! My picky friend also complimented this place. The veggies were really fresh and the kidney was processed well. Dishes were seasoned perfectly. Not too heavy like a lot of other restaurants. The experience was like dining at a high-end Taiwanese restaurant in Taiwan. Though the dishes were expensive, the price includes sales tax. I will still come back due to the quality and to support the business!”
“We had a great experience at Yangmani KBBQ! The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of high-quality meats and plenty of options to choose from.
The service was excellent from start to finish, and our server, Alex, was especially attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Alex’s great service really made the experience even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend Yangmani KBBQ to anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ, great selection, and outstanding service. One of my favourite spots for KBBQ.”

“My boyfriend’s friend told us about this place. I love skewers and thought this would be perfect. The lamb skewers were by far the best I’ve ever had, and I LOVE skewers. Not only that, I was very surprised by how much flavor and how delicious the Aipapa beef rice bowl was. 10/10 definitely recommended to someone who wants to keep it safe and not venture into lamb. The owners are very nice and the atmosphere is so chill. It was our first time, but we will definitely be back to hear some live music and eat some more delicious skewers. The photo is from what was left when I decided that I had to leave a review.”
“It was our first time here. Wanted to try somewhere different. It’s more affordable than the places back in Garden Grove. When we first got sat, we were very confused on what to do. Tan came over and helped us out a lot. I observed other workers just pacing around but Tan was the only one hustling from table to table to assist. Food was great. Grill size is a bit limited which was my only complaint. But definitely recommend coming here”

“Brandon was our server and he was so nice, so funny, and explained everything to us loved it!! The wall decor is awesome, they even had robots serving your side dishes! The Diamond Tier was awesome with grade A5 the dry aged wagyu was melt in your mouth good! Just as good as what we had in Japan. Brandon cooked them up for us and we enjoyed talking with him. Celebrating my husband's birthday they sing and have some ice creamsicles ube or honeydew flavors. They do have drink stations, some extra food stations, a dessert station all of which you can walk around to grab yourself. The Otoro thick cut and black pepper beef cubes were our other favorites. Can't wait to go back!”

“I moved to other state 2 years ago and this restaurant is one of restaurants I really miss in LA. Every time I come back to LA I must have a dinner here. This restaurant never let me down. It is one of the most authentic Chongqing Hot Pot restaurants. The taste is great and the food material is fresh and quality. They are very generous to provide complimentary high quality snacks. They treat the customers thoughtfully and it is why they exist so long a time.”
“I came here for a meal and was really impressed! I ordered the Beef Fried Rice and the Hunan-Style Fried Pork Slices, and both dishes tasted very authentic. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and just what I was hoping for. The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a good Chinese meal. I’d definitely come back again !”
“It was first time trying the coconut jelly. I wouldn't say it's a jelly it's more of a pudding. The place looks beautiful it is very clean and bright and elegant. The touch of gold but not too much give it that prestige. We got something that looked like the mango Sago. It was delicious and sweet and it did not feel too heavy. Definitely something that you can try on a hot day and looking for something to refresh you. Prices of bits High maybe because it is coconut. The containers are cute and so are the bags to go. They also have drinks as well so if you're looking for a drink they got them.”
“Had a great experience at Eighty Eight Q! The food was really good, but the service from Hermione was what really stood out.
She was super attentive and somehow always knew when we needed more meat, sides, or dessert. She would check in at just the right time without us having to flag her down or ask. It made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable.
You can tell she really pays attention to her customers and takes pride in her service. Definitely one of the best servers we’ve had at a Korean BBQ spot. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Never been to a Dave’s Hot Chicken before, but this is my niece’s favorite fast food restaurant so it was suggested we come here for lunch.
I was not hungry so just split a chicken tender and fries with my sister, while the nieces and nephews ordered their own combos.
The chicken tender I ate was good, would considered trying it in the future. It was definitely better with Dave’s Hot Honey, which I think is the same brand we order a gallon at a time for work with our banquet orders.
Quality whole pieces of chicken and good spice blends, I can taste why it is a favorite. The fries are decent on their own, but next level with Hot Honey or Dave’s Sauce or Reaper Ranch.
Price point is higher than a McD, but quality is also higher. Worth it for the quality received.
5 stars for the food.
4 out of 5 overall.”
“Went to Midoh in Rowland Heights today after finding out Umi Buffet was closed due to a power outage. Since it was already in my bookmarks, I decided to give it a try. Ordered the tonkatsu loin, hamburg steak spicy curry rice, karaage, and takoyaki. Everything was delicious and extremely well‑flavored. A solid spot for comforting Japanese dishes.”
“I love this taco truck! The service was amazing and everyone was so kind. My boyfriend accidentally dropped all three of his tacos right after getting them 😅 When he went back to order more, they asked if something was wrong with the tacos. He explained what happened and they offered to replace all of them! He insisted on paying for another 3, but when the order was ready, they surprised us with 4 tacos instead! 🥹❤️
Not only was the service incredible, but the tacos were so yummy full of flavor and cooked perfectly. This place is a must try taco truck! 🌮🔥 Thank you guys so much we were so happy and really enjoyed our tacos!”
“Love Casa Alvarez being going there since 1973 when I move to Rowland Hts I order my food to take out every body are very nice I go there very often so some of them already recognize my voice in the phone and know my name too THE FOOD IS ALWAYS DELICIOUS I NEVER HAVE NO PROBLEMS ME ENCANTA LA COMIDA MEXICANA THANK YOU GRACIAS 😊”
“Very modern indoor environment! Have big screen with karaok songs, super relax ! And authentic Chinese style bbq food. Definitely recommend !”

“Reservation was made through yelp and we were seated promptly. At the time I went, parking was okay but since it is shared with multiple businesses so it can possibly be packed. The restaurant was clean and decorated with a vibe.
The restaurant offers AYCE shabu meats and sushi. You can choose from two different option tiers (fyi it is more on the pricier side). Their Wagyu was tender and very flavorful and you can choose from a wide selection of nigiri and sashimi. Furthermore, there is also a serve it yourself bar with veggie, side dishes, sauces, curry, and drinks. At the end there are a few ice cream selections you can choose from. I always definitely go for the matcha!
Overall it was a nice experience. The staff members were friendly, very attentive, and made sure to check up on us to make sure if we needed anything.”

“Pickled Fish: The fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth, the sauerkraut is crispy and appetizing, the soup base is sour and spicy but not choking at all, every bite is full of sincerity! I especially like the light numbing aroma, paired with hot rice, it is simply a healing tool in winter!
Guobao Pork: Under the golden and crispy skin is tender and juicy tenderloin. The ratio of sweet and sour sauce is just right. You can hear the "click" when you bite into it! The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely a textbook interpretation of Northeastern cuisine!
Home-style tofu: The tofu is fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It absorbs the fragrance of the sauce and is smooth and tender in the mouth without losing the bean flavor. Paired with the crispness of fungus and green pepper, it is full of texture, simple but full of homey taste, and it is a perfect meal!
The three dishes in this restaurant each have their own merits. The taste is authentic and the portions are substantial. You will become a fan after eating it once! Highly recommended to friends who love food~”
“My hubby and my daughters celebrated my birthday at Ishi Sushi last night because I suggested going there, and we all liked their food. We ordered two (H4) orders of Chirashi, one (C12) una don (eel don), and I ordered (C13) the Chilean Seabass. The owners were very friendly. As we spoke with them casually, the lady knew it was my birthday yesterday. She said they would serve me a complimentary cake as dessert later. The Chirashi bowl had tuna (2), salmon (2), shrimp (1), white fish (1), yellow tail (1), albacore (1), uni (1), smelt egg (1), tamago (1), & salmon egg. The portions were good, and the fish was so fresh and delicious. My hubby and older daughter liked their Chirashi bowls. For the una don (eel served over the rice), my younger daughter also liked it so much. I liked my Chilean Seabass. It was served with salad and miso soup. The Chilean Seabass was fresh and flavorful with a tangy, sweet flavor. They provided a piece of lemon wedge, so I squeezed some lemon juice on it before eating. Then the owner brought us the Japanese Yuzu cheesecake. I was surprised that the owner gave our entire party slices of complimentary cake, rather than just one for the birthday person; mine even came with a candle. It was very generous of them. The Yuzu cheesecake was very delicious. The service was great, and they were very friendly.”
“KW is genuinely one of my all time favorite restaurants now. I go all the time with my boyfriend and I always am excited to try something new. The portion sizes for the prices are genuinely amazing. KW has fed me for 2 days once! I ate my dinner then I had enough leftovers still for two lunches at work. Their HK Style Lemon Tea and HK Style Milk Tea are genuinely the best I’ve ever tasted. I also highly recommend their Beef Wellington (I think it’s called KW Signature Filet Mignon) and any of their grilled category dishes. Their honey walnut shrimp is also DIVINE. Just know that this place is usually packed!!”
“We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is ample parking available in the parking lot. The restaurant is located off the beaten path but worth the discovery.
We came in for hot pot. Please note this is not an AYCE place. But the quality here will make you come back.
We got the pork tripe chicken broth. I could drink this all day. We got an assortment of vegetables. We got corn, various mushrooms, bamboo shoots, tofu, greens and water chestnuts. All so good and so fresh.
For proteins we got ribeye, beef tongue, and lamb. Everything was so fatty and flavorful. Such great quality meat.
We also got a few appetizers. The popcorn mushrooms are my new favorite. The mashed garlic cucumbers were crispy and delicious. They also have skewers and we got chicken hearts, which is a personal favorite. And we also got a beef tongue plate. So good and the Chili's brought the heat.
Such friendly service and delicious comfort food will make this a place to come back to again and again.”
“I’ve been here a few times for their stone-ground rice noodle rolls, and they never disappoint. The rice rolls are made fresh to order with a silky, delicate texture and a nice rice aroma. The beef is tender, and the sauce complements everything without being overly salty.
This time I also tried their beef hot pot, and it was a pleasant surprise. The beef was fresh and flavorful, the broth was rich without being too heavy, and the ingredients tasted high quality. It’s a great option if you’re dining with family or friends.
The service was friendly, and although the restaurant can get busy during peak hours, the food is worth the wait. If you’re looking for authentic Cantonese rice noodle rolls or a satisfying beef hot pot in Rowland Heights, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back to try more dishes!”
“On our way from LAX to Palm Springs after 10:00 pm we were looking for a quick bite to eat. Drove by this restaurant and figured we would try it.The experience was one we will absolutely recommend, regarding both food and true Chinese culture. No where near what I was expecting.We had the lamb and also beef skewers and fried rice. An appetizer was brought out that we did not order, as it was included, which was right away different and tasted unlike any other soybean and peanut I’ve experienced. It was delicious!The lamb and beef was cooked to exact request and was also delicious!While we have dined at many Chinese restaurants throughout the United States, as we travel extensively and dine out regularly this surf past any, and all other restaurants, we’ve dined in for this type of food. Here’s the difference this was not Chinese food that has been Americanized in most Chinese restaurants. This was true Chinese prepared food.I truly believe you would have to travel to China to get this quality of food and culture.I will also say that we spent 3/4 of our time speaking to Cindy, whose father owns the restaurant which caters to home cooked events at homes, so this is not their primary source of how they deliver the product to the public. The hour and 15 minutes we spent there was made so much more enjoyable as Cindy walked us through the culture the food and Wyatt tasted different because it was truly cooked to Chinese standard. So I have to say, was it the food that was the greatest experience, or Cindy‘s presence and her willingness to have an open conversation about why they do it the way they do, and enlightened us about the culture of the food,I strongly recommend anyone that wants to find out what real Chinese cuisine is and how it is cooked and prepared in China. You realize very quick that this is not your drive-through, Chinese pick up takeout, that we are accustomed to here in the United States. This is a must try for the food if nothing else and when you’re there I recommend you ask for Cindy.After visiting with Cindy, she made it a total experience for an awesome evening of culture that was absolutely excellent.It is always nice to be able to understand and realize the actual culture of cuisine you are eating. Cindy, she made an experience of great food, a completely enjoyable experience. That was absolutely excellent off the charts. Cindy made it a 2 for 1 bonus to the evening.We will absolutely be driving from Palm Springs back to the restaurant. It was absolutely enjoyable. Not to mention the cost was nowhere near what we expected. It was almost like we ordered off a lunch menu for cost and the food that was delivered, and was ample to feed 4 instead of just the two of us.Thank you Cindy for an enjoyable evening and thank your father for being an unbelievable chef. The experience was one we will fondly look back on and make sure we repeat again.”
“We had such a great experience at Chabu Harn! The food was incredibly fresh, and the meat was absolutely delicious. 😋
But the best part was definitely the service! It was our first time here, so we weren’t sure how to order. Our server was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything to us. He was so friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the whole meal.
Fresh food, delicious meat, and amazing service — what more could you ask for? We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend! ❤”
“The food is very savory.
Lunch portions are large, I could have easily shared my chicken satay, instead I have lunch for tomorrow!😍 My husband had the Tom Yum chicken and noodles soup, we could have shared as well, he has lunch for tomorrow too!😍
Waitress was very busy, but still very attentive ❤
Atmosphere very cute, kind of homey.”
“I am not Korean but I love this restaurant. They serve true comfort food. The galbi tang is so tasty as well as the braised beef. Now that they started serving rice cake soup with dumpling, all of my Korean comfort food is in one place. Yay!”
“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.”

“I've been eating at this restaurant for five years, and I can't believe how fast 2021-2026 has flown by... The Latin male staff member who served me today was fantastic; he was handsome, friendly, tall, and very polite. A pleasant meal. If I were a girl, I would fall in love with him 😵”

“This is the best lamb I had both in China and in the states. The owner is so nice and kind and treated us so well.
We ordered stew lamb, grilled lamb, Mongolian home made pie. They are so delicious!!! Not to mention the price, the quality with this quantity makes Mongolian Home Made Pie such a great choice!
I highly recommend.”

“This is #1 Korean Food restaruant in LA hands down, it is the only restaurant I have seen that gives MORE food than the photos.
Pork Belly wrap is so authentic in taste I thought I was in Korea, and you can tell every item is super delicious. Plus it was big enough for 2- 3 people👏
I plan to try every single item this place offers.”

“Went on a Monday night, ample seating no wait.
Got their bossam and a beef stew. Got the smallest bossam. These two dishes was enough for four adults. So ample portion size. Purple rice was also really tasty. Everything was pretty good, bossam especially. Would say the banchan were just ok tho.
Overall a solid place for some stews and bossam.”
“First time trying Sul & Beans today with hubby and daughter. I've had shaved ice plenty of times before, but I'd never had it Korean-style! We are definitely coming back because there are so many flavors to try! Service was super quick, and everything was delicious! Big thumbs up!”
“Inside 168 supermarket, has good seating space, friendly staff like a food court. Food is heavily seasoned and flavored, on the salty side and price is not low, but well cooked like a street vendor, with the wok flavoring. Recommend get main dishes only, side dishes are expensive not pretty much the same ingredients as the main.”
“The lunch meal deal from 10am-4pm is perfect. The boneless chicken is large so the price is very fitting. Good thick fries, amd their sauces are very tasty as well! Also good entertainment in the resturant as well with a few TVs playing different things. Overall, this is a great wings place!”
“I kept swaying my body side to side as as I was enjoying jajangmyeon with sweet and sour pork. Oh-my-goodness... the sweet sour sauce .... thank you for making this delicious meal 🙏🏽”
“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people”

“Been coming here when i have big parties as theres something for everyone.
Walked in and we got seated right away! I did go around 3:00 pm, so it wasn’t peak timing, I’m sure it’ll be busy at night since it closes at 1:00 am.
I came for a birthday celebration so ordered extra meats! We got lamb + beef. They’re very generous with their plates so it is worth it. So many options here so i was happy that everyone in my party will have options to pick from.
Noodles - above the food selection to the left of the store. Look up and grab. Feel free to ask the staff if you cant reach it.
Food bar - vegetables, tofu, meats, mushrooms, seafoods! Lots of options.
Drinks - 3 drink options! Included! Their ice bucket is to the left of their drinks!
Sauces - included in your ayce!
Desserts - right of the drinks. Yes, they’re more asian desserts so keep that in mind.
Staff - very attentive. Even though this spot is ayce, they will still check on your soup level + fire.

Parking - its a huge lot so you wont have problems finding parking”
“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 3*
Stopped by here for dinner and we were not disappointed. All the food was fresh, tasty, and ample. We were a party of 8, so we ordered and good amount of food. Everything was great. The orange chicken was not as sweet as others and was really good.
Food break down:
The hot and sour soup was delicious, tasty and hit the spot.
The sliced fish in Szechwan sauce was fantastic. The fish was perfectly cooked and the heat was the right amount of spice and flavor.
The pork and cabbage dumplings were juicy and tender. I wished I ordered two orders of this.
The combination sautéed noodles was great as well. A good mix of pork, chicken, and seafood with a nice light sauce. Very tasty.
The pan seared green beans were delicious. Tender crisp with “the breath” of the wok which was slightly smokey. Always a favorite.
The combination fried rice was tasty and a good balance of flavors. For the rice lovers.
The braised eggplant was a surprise hit. Eggplant can be bland but this wasn’t. It had a nice blend of spice and flavor, and was a hit.
The beef with broccoli was delicious as well. Tasty and packed with tender crisp broccoli.
The service was great. The owner lady was attentive, helpful and gave good recommendations (sliced fish, hot and sour soup). The ambience was dated, but clean. No A/C made it hot while eating. All in all a great meal.”
“The stinky tofu was decent. I hadn’t had it for five years, so I was still happy to find it here. That said, it didn’t feel stinky enough or juicy enough, and the tofu texture seemed a little different from the common type I’m used to in Taiwan.
I asked for extra pickled cabbage, but it was never served, and water was not provided either.
Still, because stinky tofu is so rare to find here, I have to give full points for that. The 肉圓was also really good.”
“Plenty of parking in the plaza!
I love that they serve a mountain of meat on a broth on the grill. The meat is mixed with veggies and mushrooms. The soup is a good balance of savory and sweet.
I ordered bibimbap to complement our seng bulgogi. You can add your own gochujang which was nice because I dont like mine too spicy.
The service was very friendly and attentive.
Highly recommend.”
“Had the sashimi boat for 2. Really could feed 3 people - and for that I say the price is good for something fancy - sashimi is very very fresh. Servings were very generous. Server was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Been back maybe 3x since I've discovered this place”

Guobao Pork: Under the golden and crispy skin is tender and juicy tenderloin. The ratio of sweet and sour sauce is just right. You can hear the "click" when you bite into it! The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is definitely a textbook interpretation of Northeastern cuisine!

Cheap Eats
“Plate lunches here are just as delicious as on the Hawaiian Islands. First, the garlic butter shrimp...I will dream about it. Second, the bbq chicken was tender and oh-so flavorful on its own; no need for the dipping sauce although the sauce IS super tasty. Next, the rice is topped with furikake and sesame seeds. Sadly, the spicy pork flavor is excellent, but I don't like how it's in small pieces. I referred to it as shrapnel pieces, and my BF thought that was a precise phrase for it. We were disappointed that the gochujang wings were not available on a weekend night at 6:30pm. This a food court location, so if you want to eat hot & fresh, you need to find a table two stalls down in a small inside area with about 6 tables or outside with about the same amount of tables.”
“After dinner nearby, we knew we wanted boba afterwards and purposely saved room for it! R&B Tea was on the opposite end of the plaza, which worked out as we worked off a little bit of dinner by walking here.
I ordered a jasmine green milk tea ($5.75) at 50% sweet with easy ice and boba ($0.75). Just the right amount of sugar with the right consistency for the boba. Would definitely order again (and also possibly try their matcha milk tea or roasted oolong milk tea). Post-dinner boba craving met! Thanks Tiffany for taking care of our large group order!
They have two small tables in the front and more table space in the back for hanging out and playing board games. We picked The Logo Game and learned new facts about products and logos and what not from the game. Did you know that Baskin Robbins had 31 flavors particular to cover each day of the month? I didn't, until the game. Fun times.
Plenty of parking spots in this large plaza.”
“Wow what a great tasting place i love poke ... and wing flats ... plus its close by i was going to their other locations ... supporting the local restaurants ;:: i love you all Leanne & anthony 🐟🐔”
“Their boba is even better than before, perfect texture and taste! Watch out for their high sweetness level. I love sweets, but even with their 50% sugar level boba drinks it was still a bit too sweet. Make sure you shake the boba drinks very well prior to taking a drink or you might choke on the sweet syrup. Service is fair and could be friendlier to up the entire boba in-store experience. Ambiance is decent with just a few seating spaces available.”
“Food was quite good. I enjoyed the lemon tea with passion fruit. We had lunch and ordered the beef noodle, the truffle chicken and stir fry spare ribs. Truffle chicken didnt taste good. The chicken is tender but there is no flavor at all. But the other dishes were good.”
“Clean, friendly & attentive staff, lots of options for ingredients, good classic bone soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup but my favorite is the stir-fried spicy wok (麻辣香鍋)🌶️🌶️🌶️, so much that I’ve been coming here weekly.”

You get a choice of 18 different kinds of meat, including the self-serve bar where you can grab your own marinated meats, like spicy beef bulgogi and pork jowl, and all the amazing sides, for as many times as you want. You can even make KBBQ meat tacos!
This $23 deal is only available during lunch, but weekends are included! ;)
But if you're feeling bougie, definitely get the premium AYCE menu A at $49.99, which includes a giant dinosaur bone-looking rib that was just melt-in-your-mouth tender, spicy Korean cold noodles, ramen, and steamed egg.
Thanks for reading! ^-^”
“Good for dim sum, excellent for large groups for dinner ordering Chinese food family-style.
Service is good and food is prepared quickly from the kitchen. And per person the price is reasonable. I don’t live here, but we seem to come here at least once or twice when my parents come to visit the grandkids.
Highly recommended.”
“while the food itself is good but isn’t too spectacular, the service and atmosphere absolutely make up for it!! i recommend going during october for their halloween times, sometimes you’ll see live music, michael jackson impersonators, costume contests (even the workers are dressed up!), and cool fancy decor. food wise my fav is the tom yum soup!”
“I've been eating at this restaurant for five years, and I can't believe how fast 2021-2026 has flown by... The Latin male staff member who served me today was fantastic; he was handsome, friendly, tall, and very polite. A pleasant meal. If I were a girl, I would fall in love with him 😵”
“Love Casa Alvarez being going there since 1973 when I move to Rowland Hts I order my food to take out every body are very nice I go there very often so some of them already recognize my voice in the phone and know my name too THE FOOD IS ALWAYS DELICIOUS I NEVER HAVE NO PROBLEMS ME ENCANTA LA COMIDA MEXICANA THANK YOU GRACIAS 😊”
“I feel that in keeping with Asian restaurant tradition I should award 3 stars because, as we all know, this is the perfect amount. Five stars and it's a bougie Asian fusion place that's going to rip you off. You want three stars because the service will feel inattentive to western eaters but be perfect for eastern diners. So these five stars are adjusted for my tastes: I don't want to be bothered while I eat, I don't need ambiance when eating Chinese food, and I don't want to pay extra for these. In fact, I would say when I sent the service was a little too attentive 😂😂😂. I'll also say that I ate with my friends from China so my experience was we walked in, Chinese was spoken, we were ushered into a nondescript back room, more Chinese was spoken, huge plates of the best food were delivered, a person kept checking in on us hence my comment that the service was too attentive, we fought over the bill, I lost, and we left with tons of leftovers. Asian 3 stars. Would recommend and come back.”
“KW is genuinely one of my all time favorite restaurants now. I go all the time with my boyfriend and I always am excited to try something new. The portion sizes for the prices are genuinely amazing. KW has fed me for 2 days once! I ate my dinner then I had enough leftovers still for two lunches at work. Their HK Style Lemon Tea and HK Style Milk Tea are genuinely the best I’ve ever tasted. I also highly recommend their Beef Wellington (I think it’s called KW Signature Filet Mignon) and any of their grilled category dishes. Their honey walnut shrimp is also DIVINE. Just know that this place is usually packed!!”
“Great atmosphere! I loved the food it is soooo yummy! i got the lamb skewers which were honestly so delicious and perfectly seasoned. Of course i also had to get the grilled squid legs. I have never had such a delicious food enter my mouth, it genuinely made me tear up. If i had a dying wish it would be to eat here again. If i went to prison for homicide i would pick this place to cook my last meal. 10/10 would recommend”

“It was our first time here. Wanted to try somewhere different. It’s more affordable than the places back in Garden Grove. When we first got sat, we were very confused on what to do. Tan came over and helped us out a lot. I observed other workers just pacing around but Tan was the only one hustling from table to table to assist. Food was great. Grill size is a bit limited which was my only complaint. But definitely recommend coming here”
“Went in with a few friends and it just fit that kind of night. The lamb belly skewers came out fast and disappeared even faster, smoky at the edges, juicy in the middle, with that charcoal taste staying around for a second. That cut can get heavy sometimes but these ate really easy. We kept reaching for one more without talking much, which usually says enough. I had it with a cold Sapporo and that combo landed right. Not doing too much, just solid skewers and a table that worked for a small group 😝”
“Spotted this shop after a delightful lunch with my wife & we immediately noticed that the Kream Kubes weren't available to order via kiosk and had to be ordered via the front register in person.
Parking is free & plentiful as the plaza is huge.
There's moderate amount of indoor seating which is pretty nice for a small shop like Le Kream.
My wife and I ordered the Sunset Guava drink + a Matcha Kream Kube and while the Kube was instantly prepared, the drink took about 5 minutes which is pretty fast considering how busy they were on a Saturday afternoon.
1. Matcha Kream Kube - Presentation is spotless, with a little nice matcha pocky stick up top as a edible decoration, matcha on top, which goes really well with the savory type kube. It's croissant texture kubes are perfect compliment to the matcha, super creamy and has a great balance of sweet, savory, and chewy in some sense. Highly recommend the matcha as this is one of their most popular Kubes and can sell out really quickly.
2. Sunset Guava Drink - Usually not a big fan of Guava type drinks but this one blew me away. The fizziness of the drink gave a real carbonated style to the flavor. It's not too sweet and it has the tropical, sweet aroma in which I'd say it's the perfect drink for a hot day.
Whether you are looking to grab a snack, a dessert, or a drink, this place has it all. The kubes & drinks are very well made and aesthetics are off the charts. Love the interior as it's very much modernized. You can easily grab something to go, or even sit inside to enjoy the dessert.”
“This was my first time trying the desserts here, and I found the flavors quite unique, especially with the black sticky rice.
We initially dined in and ordered the Creamy Snow Watermelon. It was refreshing, but a little too sweet and creamy for my personal taste.
We ended up ordering some desserts to-go as well, including the Taro Sago and Mango Tofu Pudding. Both were sweet without being overly sweet, and I really enjoyed them!
One small suggestion: it would be great if they could add another ordering machine. Having an extra one might help make the ordering process a little faster.”
“Amazing! If you come here once you will want to come back every day! they’re so lovely, peaceful, really warm and kind family business. and their menu is priced so well! i had the mango pomelo drink. Honestly a hidden gem here!!!! God bless them and their hard work.”
“Yu Ji Stone Mill Chinese Crepes was a complete surprise street food cart in Rowland Heights. This $10 treat can be shared between two people. It’s a Taiwanese breakfast crepe-style omelet using mung bean and three eggs with crunchy layers of fried chips and a sausage taste great 👍🏻 highly recommend you try at least once. It’s best to enjoy within 10 minutes for max taste and texture so we took ours to the food court across the street.”
“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!”
“so good! I got the chicken cutlet, spicy hot stinky tofu, and classic combo.
all the food was so good! the cutlet was seasoned well and not dry or overcooked.
the classic combo comes with popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries and squid balls. very delicious!
the spicy steamed stinky tofu had good stinky tofu and mala flavor. it was good with rice.”
“I came here for the chashu ramen. I subbed the soup base to tonkatsu. A few things. I liked the chashu. It has a nice richness about it. Really slick texture. Yummy umami. The tonkatsu broth was really deep. It was very flavorful. The noodles were... ok. I like that it is wavy. But it didn't have the chew. I had hoped for more chewiness. Rather, it was soft and a bit mushy. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Just the right level. And the restaurant was clean.”
“The sweets here is totally different from other bakeries on a whole other level, the boba milk tea isn’t too sweet which is perfect for my taste but you can always request for more sweetness since the service is amazing. The vibes overall is amazing with a nice warm atmosphere!”
“Brandon was our server and he was so nice, so funny, and explained everything to us loved it!! The wall decor is awesome, they even had robots serving your side dishes! The Diamond Tier was awesome with grade A5 the dry aged wagyu was melt in your mouth good! Just as good as what we had in Japan. Brandon cooked them up for us and we enjoyed talking with him. Celebrating my husband's birthday they sing and have some ice creamsicles ube or honeydew flavors. They do have drink stations, some extra food stations, a dessert station all of which you can walk around to grab yourself. The Otoro thick cut and black pepper beef cubes were our other favorites. Can't wait to go back!”
