“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.”
“This is truly a Taiwanese restaurant. I definitely wouldn't have eaten at a Chinese restaurant. I'm so happy to be able to eat Taiwanese food. Being in a foreign country always makes me a little nervous about going home. It was truly a wonderful experience.”
“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“What delicious food! I haven't had Chinese/Taiwanese food this good in a while. The dishes were tasty and fresh. The fried mushroom tastes just like the ones I've had in Taiwan before.”
“I'm usually not a big fan of lamb, but this place really knows how to prepare it. My favorite dish is definitely the lamb ribs they're incredibly tender, flavorful, and practically fall off the bone. Even someone who doesn't normally enjoy lamb would probably appreciate how well they're cooked here. I also tried the milk tea and really enjoyed it. The regular version was great, although I wasn't a fan of the salty milk tea since it just wasn't my personal taste.
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so seating can feel a bit limited during busy times. However, the food more than makes up for it. The quality, flavor, and tenderness of the lamb keep me coming back. If you're looking for a place that does lamb exceptionally well, this spot is definitely worth checking out.”

“I enjoy coming here when my partner and I can't agree one something. I wish the seating was more comfortable and the less cramped together but there usually is somewhere to sit. The cleaning staff is always quick to clear tables and manage trash and dishes. Even at its busiest there is usually plenty of parking.”
“Was in the neighborhood and saw this place so we went and tried it. The place is located in the Blossom Market Place next to San Gabriel Mission. There is plenty of parking off the street or public parking lots. Now to the foods. We ordered the jerk chicken and the curry chicken with rice and the famous Jamaican beef patty(their version of empanadas). The Jerk chicken was good but not enough robust flavor compares to other Jamaican restaurants. The curry chicken was good but again, way to water down for preference. However, the beef patty was tasty and made fresh as you order them. Wish that the crust could be a bit more crispy. Order at the counter and pick up your food or wait about 10 minutes pending on how busy they are. It’s a bit pricey for all the entrees.”
“Quality of ingredients is evident from the grain, to the fruit, and to chocolate. The amount of effort and level of technique also shows. I've been several times, and the food quality has always been consistent. They work quickly to make things fresh, and make sure to give each guest ample attention and answer our questions.
Best part, the owners are legitimately great people worth supporting. Friendly, funny, hard-working.
This is the kind of small business that truly enriches a neighborhood. Quality product and quality people.”

“Late-night hot pot + BBQ buffet with solid seafood
Went for the hot pot & BBQ buffet combo. You can pick one broth or go with a double/triple split. Lots of options on the buffet line.
A few standouts:
- Argentine red shrimp – plump, firm, with a nice snap
- Frog legs – surprisingly huge
- Oysters – fat and briny
- Grilled eggplant – soft and fully soaked in garlic sauce; every bite was pure flavor
- Grilled shrimp and grilled chicken skin– also really good
The sauce station was clean, and sodas are self-serve. They're open until 1 or 2 AM – perfect for late-night cravings.”
“I've been coming here since high school and the quality has stayed the same. Everything here is delicious. The staff is so super friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a good, local hidden gem for Japanese curry ... look no further!”

“Great food and amazing service!
Parking is super easy since it’s located in a huge plaza.
I got here around 11:00 AM and waited in line for about 20 minutes. The line was mostly filled with older people speaking Cantonese, which told me right away that this place is super authentic!
The Beef Chow Fun is super flavorful and comes in a huge portion.
Their $12.99 breakfast combo is also a great deal with a huge portion—though it's pretty much pure carbs! And the best part is they still let you order it even after the breakfast hours.
You also get free refills on the Hong Kong style milk tea, and you can even take it to go for free. The iced version is the best, especially in the summer!
Unlike a lot of other places where the food is good but the service is terrible, the staff here is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!”
“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)”
“The front desk experience has been consistently frustrating.
The young lady there appears inattentive and unsure of the process. Even after joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, we're left standing without explanation for 5-10 minutes each visit until another staff member takes over and seats us.
The lack of coordination at the entrance gives the impression that no one is actually managing the line properly.
Fortunately, the rest of the staff are warm and professional, and the hot pot options are solid.”
“For a microbrewery this place is dope! Hospitable staff, delicious tasting brews, about 15+ options and a decent size capacity for indoor space (77 ppl) with an outdoor space that holds much more...this place is solid as a brewery. Definitely will be coming back 🙌🏾 Thank you, Reyes the Mayor for assisting my family and I!”
“Cute cafe for breakfast/brunch/lunch food. Tried the scallion pancake with basil and Taiwanese sausage ($11). Very delicious and seasoned just right. You can choose to make it crispy or soft(Starch). Milk tea was not too sweet($4). Cashier was super helpful and friendly.”
“Yay! a new place we hadn't tried and it's really good 🤗 we shared the green curry with shrimp,, the fried rice with chicken and shrimp and my favorite the pad see ewe with chicken yum. Definitely will be back to try the lunch specials. Very clean and super nice staff.”
“Overall decent place for Korean Home Food. The Bibim Nangmyeon was good. But the namesake Yuk Gae Jang is just OK. Not bad. Not great. It happens to be one of my fave Korean dishes. So I try it everywhere. Hodori / Myung Ga / Gamjagol ranked higher for me.”

“Array 36 is a solid choice for high end Chinese food in Los Angeles. While most of the dishes are Shanghainese, there are many good choices from other cuisines, including Peking duck. The ambience is modern, with dark lighting, so definitely not what you typically find in your Chinese restaurant in the US.We like it particularly for hosting guests, Chinese and non-Chinese alike.”

“A typical fancy omakase meal that I’m not sure if I would come back.
The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat).
I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part … and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense”
“Came here to try a new Thai spot after going to President Thai down the street for years and wanting something different. We ordered from the dinner menu, which comes with soup or salad, egg rolls or wontons, and white rice or shrimp fried rice, a great value.
I got the chicken pad Thai and everything was so flavorful and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the yellow curry and it was absolutely amazing, rich and creamy with a coconut base that honestly reminded me of my mom’s Vietnamese curry.
The owner was also incredibly kind and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Such a welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be back soon!”
“Red Chicken Thai is a small corner Thai food spot in San Gabriel Valley. They have a breadth of food and drink items. Its interior was modest with little to no aesthetic decor.
However, the atmosphere was relaxing for customers. Their dining area have 8 tables that can accommodate thirty people. It was my first time visit and I had a default Pad Woon Sen x Iced Lemon tea. Both are good in taste, flavor and portion. Service was spot on as well as the price (affordable). Staff was competent and attentive. Plenty of street and rear parking. Collectively, this is a good Thai spot.
Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their food.”
“The Pozole was very good, but you don't have much say in what you get because they have the portions already premade. The chips were good and the soup was very yummy. Not the nicest place and parking isn't that great, but the service was excellent and the cook is really kind and likes to joke around, so you might get a dad joke.”
“The Northeastern flavor of braised delicacies, my husband and I packed a lot and took them back to the San Francisco Bay Area. I just got home and ate Harbin red sausage and smoked chicken rack. The taste is exactly the same as what is sold in our hometown in Shenyang. Why is it not available in the Bay Area? The red sausage meat is moderately salty and has a light garlic aroma, which is so rare. The same goes for the smoked chicken rack, which is not salty and has a full flavor of five-spice smoke. I'm looking forward to bringing back the pork head meat, because pork head meat is difficult to cook and requires a lot of effort to shave off the hair. I heard that the two owners are both from Shenyang. I hope that a store like this can be opened in Los Angeles for a long time, because the Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles are really bad. If this store opened in the Bay Area, it would kill other stores in a matter of seconds.”
“I have been to this hot pot restaurant for years and love it. The newly remodel decoration is so nice and they have refrigerators outside which is convenient for customers to get dishes and skewers. The beef is freshly cut upon ordering. We have ordered a lot of skewers and they are only 0.49 per skewer which is super cheap. We like the beef, the vegetables, and pork brain! I loved the fried rice and it came with big portion.”
“Great experience at Tea Maru yesterday. Found out about it through Groupon, and appreciate the fact that they make their own boba in house.
Important note: Mango Boba is only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!
I got the Mango Slush with Strawberry Boba, which featured a nice layer of ice cream, mango slush (at 25% sweet), and delicious homemade boba. The place is small, mostly built for takeout but there are a few decent seats. Song selection immaculate.”
“Nostalgia, haven't been here for so long! Just as I used to remember it! The staff is super nice, the place is clean, and they have all the food we used to order.
We always get their 3 cup chicken , bamboo and spicy pork! The highlight is eating the porridge with the Yam inside!
Happy to return and will be back soon!”
“I love eating at northern cafe, their spicy cold tribe n hot n spicy noodles is delicious, but the service lady with glasses here is bad she have this bad attitude when we trying to order but whatever not coming back to this location, the Monterey Park location is very nice..”
“Really nice environment… staff is really respectful and always on top of things… food is really good.. I’ve never had a bad experience here.. I highly recommend”
“Fresh snakehead fish 𓆜 paired with tender frog legs 🐸, simmered in a flavorful spicy broth.
The restaurant’s signature secret dipping sauce 🫕 is the real game changer — packed with numbing, spicy, savory, and aromatic flavors that take every bite to the next level. 🤤🌶
The Sorrowful Jelly Noodles (Shangxin Liangfen) 🍜 were also delicious — refreshing, spicy, and incredibly addictive! 🔥✨”

“This place is now owned by a couple who is very nice and honest to customers. They make great chicken deli takeout and chili pepper and garlic paste which I never tasted or even knew both before!
Bouncy chicken skin and flesh and even savory bones... Chicken savory is given back to chicken to the most by pretty simple ingredients which I only tasted salt...
However the specialty Beef rice noodle didn't meet my suppose I'd like to try braised beef rice noodles and zongzi takeout next time”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My husband and I stopped by for a little date night, and what we witnessed was truly greatness in motion.
They were clearly understaffed — only one person working the front counter and drive-thru at the same time, and one cook in the back preparing orders and stepping in to assist when needed. Despite that, both of them remained calm, professional, and incredibly friendly.
There was no frustration, no attitude — just focus, teamwork, and grace under pressure. You could see how hard they were working, yet they still made us feel welcomed and valued.
They even brought our food to our table, which we didn’t expect at all. That level of service, especially while short-staffed, really stood out to us.
Five stars for professionalism, composure, and dedication. We truly appreciated the experience.”
“The stir-fried river snails (超螺狮) here are hands down the best I’ve ever had—no contest. If you enjoy this dish, you absolutely have to try it. It’s incredibly flavorful and genuinely addictive.”

“I don’t know why it took me so long to discover this place! I got the acai bowl, and for the price, it’s an incredible deal. The best part is that all the toppings and bases are unlimited, so you don’t have to stress about choosing just one.
The acai itself wasn’t overly sweet, which paired perfectly with the fresh fruit. Everything tasted fresh and balanced.
The service was amazing as well. The girl who helped me was fast, polite, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!”
“This is a nice casual Hong Kong style dim sum place. They steam the dishes when ordered so they taste good. There are a few tables inside so you can eat inside. I tried the classic dim sum dishes pork Siu mai, shrimp har Kao, and Xiao long Bao. They were quite well made. I also had their pork congee. They were authentic Hong Kong dishes and priced reasonably. Parking is limited on the main parking lot. There are more spaces at the parking lot one level lower entered around the block.”
“Back in October, my friends and I spent a month vacation in Vietnam and we were introduced to Com Tam. We wanted to see if King Com Tam Vietnamese Restaurant is as authentic as we had in Vietnam.
Com tam - Vietnamese broken rice is rice that was broken during the milling process. If you're unfamiliar, broken rice has a couscous-like texture. The broken rice plate options might seem extensive, but it's just rice with various combinations of pork chop, beef, pork, fried bean curd with shrimp paste, egg roll, sausage, shredded pork and skin, and steamed egg loaf. All served with veggies, a small bowl of broth, and fish dipping sauce. The plates run from $12.99 to $20.99 for the 10-item plate. If you don't see exactly the plate combination you're looking for, you can just tell the waiter which items you want and they'll charge accordingly. Just ask if you can swap items.
Not Vietnam authentic, but then again I am no expert but definitely satisfied our cravings and brought back memories of our month long trip. We loved it so much that a month ago during the rainy weather that we went back so we can try the noodle soup/pho. The portions were generous for around $13.99 a bowl. I was craving Bun bo Hue, Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup and my friends ordered beef pho and hu tieu, a Vietnamese Phnom Penh-style seafood noodle soup with pork and shrimp. It was good but I've had better.
Service was good. The ambiance and presentation is spot on.”
“I know this place is known for their huge rice plates but do not sleep on their bun rieu! It’s the only thing I get here bc there are not that many places that have this on their menu. The pigs blood isn’t the best (Nha Trang in MP is sooo silky), but their flavors are on point. Service is pretty quick and efficient. Looks like they are remodeling the unit in the north corner so hopefully they are expanding!”
“Was around the area so decided to grab lunch and it wasn't as great as before. We ordered the seafood egg noodle and seafood white noodle, both lacked flavor. I had to add satay sauce to make it taste a bit better. The ice water glasses were dirty as well. I don't know if it's under new owners or new chefs but it wasn't that great. Good thing it was a cheap lunch.”
“Amazing service! Nice elderly couple running the place. They have a great selection of teas, coffee (including Vietnamese coffee), and smoothies/slushes. I got the honeydew boba, which I believe comes automatically with non dairy milk. Overall, great place inside of the market to get a quick drink.”
“This is a very small dim sum place, one two table for 4 person, and 2 tables for 2. So maximum only 12 people can dine it. However, the dim sum here is one of the best we have had. Siu mai was rich in flavor and meaty. Stick rice and cheong fun were both top notched. Xiao longbao was juicy too. Due to the small dining area, I imagined it will be difficult at peak hour. Or you just need to take out. But if you do take out, the dim sum may not taste as good. Dilemma. But we were very happy with the food and service.”
“Me and my gf stop by here everytime when we crave bun bo hue. Not gonna lie, I got it on my top 1 for bbh in SGV. The spice hits different and not sweet like other places, while the beef slices are tender and delicious while having a good amount of noodles. This time I decided to try my favorite dish com suon (porkchop with broken rice) and it didn't disappoint, 2 big porkchops cooked to perfection, tender enough to bite the fat too, SO GOOD! Thank you Devan see you again!”
“Mediterranean cravings = officially handled at Wahib’s Mediterranean Express🤌🔥
Hidden inside Blossom Market Hall, this spot is serving up fresh-made Mediterranean comfort food that seriously hits every time. We tried the Chicken Kebob Plate, Gyro Wrap, and garlic fries… and honestly, not a single miss👏
The chicken was juicy, the gyro wrap was PACKED, and those garlic fries disappeared way too fast🧄🍟 Already planning my next visit for their Filet Mignon and housemade grape leaves because yes — they make them fresh in-house daily😮💨✨
Perfect SGV food hall stop when you want something flavorful, filling, and fresh💯”
“Dad and I wanted some Korean comfort and I am so glad we dropped by. We arrive at 8pm (they close at 9pm) and ordered the cold noodles with gamjatang with small side of pork bossam. The amount of food for approx $35 per person was a feast and we were both stuffed silly!
Cold noodles were very good - super chewy and refreshing. Gamjatang had three massive pork bones with plenty of meat. I will be coming back :)”

“Best Honey Green tea in all Southern CA. Actually, better than the ones in Taiwan. They spare no cost in using only the best quality tea and ingredients. Once you tried theirs, you can’t go to other places anymore. Many of their bread like the red bean bun is a must try and the birthday cakes are always freshly made daily and not too sweet. They also have full sheet part tray fruit cake that are cut into 96 slices, best for large parties or events. Highly underrated and a hidden gem!”
“I’ve been meaning to post but kept forgetting. This place really does make the best cakes. I got a chocolate cake with half strawberry and half banana. Everyone at the party said it was SO good. Not too sweet. Typically I hate frosting but they make it perfectly soft and not too sweet! I showed them pictures of the rainbow frosting look I wanted and they recreated it perfectly too! I added the decorations on top myself. Highly recommend Fortune Bakery!”

“Very nice small restaurant selling specialty noodles and some side items. The potato noodles have a firmer texture, kinda like soba, the soup was delicious. Chicken bone was also very good. There was an old couple working there, very friendly. Price was reasonable, highest it goes was $13 for the house special noodle. Overall a great place to try something new and unique.”
“Decent, compact, comfort Cantonese dining. Small extras were very welcome. Dined in alone with Charshiu & Heinan Chicken Rice for under $15, came with daily soup, dessert, and tea -highly enjoyed. Got Yangchow fried rice to go -meh. Overall, very good value for money. Would return if in area.”

“I miss their old location with its great views of the San Gabriel Mtns...this new location on the first floor of the Hilton....kinda looks like a pop-up, temporary squat but it's not. So no view no ambiance (not elegant no Asian decor or any decor for that matter definitely no frills...just two huge TV screens, great for watching sports....in a huge ballroom. But...forget the non ambiance, the food is still bomb diggity.....and the reason for the happy diners...one of the best prices in SGV. It's cheap ya'll. Good cheap dimsum, Monday thru Friday.@ 3.99 prr dish. Its 4.99 on weekends. This explains the crowds on a Thursday afternoon...young people know this place....our venerated elders know this place...balancing prices, volume without sacrificing quality. Just don't look too closely at the stained chairs...or the rolling carts....it's what's in the steamers that matters. Also don't expect happy servers, especially the men attendants...its all business with them, no time for friendly effort, no smiles....but there were some cart ladies who don't ignore you, and are friendly and helpful...slip them some cash so we teach the others that good service with a smile pays, but yo...friendliness is a bonus, not a necessity....especially at these prices. Go for the awesome dim sum and smile at the cost....and be sure to order the sesame balls...unbelievably hot crispy on the outside, gooey yummiest on the inside....best sesame seed balls around. 10/5 also excellent is the beef balls 5/5, the tripe 5/5, the savory pineapple bbq pork 5/5, the bbq pork pastry triangle 5/5....the Chinese tamale., also excellent 5/5. Basically, all the dim sum is 5/5.”

“I went to this place in San Gabriel a lot of times for eating their noodles. I really like their soup base, it is very delicious. The noodles in one order is a lot so you can totally become full after eating one bowl. Ludingji has opened for so many years in LA and their reputation is always good. Their price is reasonable as well. Highly recommend to go and try!”
“Want PHO in San Gabriel? Look no further!
This place is the go to for that Vietnamese food crave. The PHO is excellent and the BUN #44 is always good! First of all it's owned by a Vietnamese family (that's always a win) especially when looking for Vietnamese food. The ice coffee will keep you energized for a couple of hours and is as authentic as you can get. Portions are generous and filling. Everything we've ordered here ia spot on so you can't go wrong when ordering.
The owner and staff are always super friendly. To us they are like expended family because this is our go to place when in the area. The prices are very reasonable and they have parking in the back. These mom and pop shops are what makes eating local that much more special.”
“Pretty standard 85° competitor but I found this spot before 85° at the Arcadia mall and really enjoyed their pastries! For some reason, I feel like it's a little less memorable and maybe slightly lower quality than I remember but still pretty good for a quick pastry or slice of cake.”
“We came back here after an year and the food still tastes the same, very delicious. The only thing that changed was that they got upgraded to a taco truck and it is called Tacos Los Poblanos. We tried chorizo tacos, Al pastor burrito and chicken Quesadilla. Every thing was on-point and the salsas were excellent. Highly recommend getting their Quesadilla with freshly handmade corn tortilla.”
“So my first ever tasted experience of chicken feet was at this place. And I truly am spoiled after this. They debone the chicken feet so it’s all beautiful cartilage and connecting tissues, which is super important if you’re trying to rebuild cartilage in your joints, the collagen and chicken feed is also very good for your skin and helps you stay looking younger. I got the spicy onion sauce and it was absolutely delicious. A week or two after this I tried chicken feet for the second time and it had bones in it and it was gross. It was like eating a baby’s hand. No one was spoiled that I can never have chicken feet with bones in it. I must have chicken feet that are deboned. They also offer other items such as lotus root, sliced pig, ear, and other things you would expect at a true/authentic Chinese take out. If you’ve ever had chicken feet, I would definitely suggest you start with Debo chicken feet from Tao’s kitchen”
“Hidden hot pot gem – $33.88 AYCE and actually good
This place has been around for over a decade, right by the TAWA plaza.
We got there right when they opened in the afternoon, and the place filled up almost instantly. Most people seemed like regulars.
$33.88 gets you AYCE hot pot + a buffet station + sauces. Same price on weekends, and they don't charge extra for broth. The soup base is surprisingly good – has that nourishing, slightly herbal vibe. Reminded me of the old Little Sheep.
Plenty of options. Lamb and beef are a must – fresh. The pork intestine gets super soft and sticky after a quick boil – I wanted a second plate. The buffet had sesame balls, spring rolls, piggy buns, fries, edamame… the cha siu bao actually tasted like dim sum from a cart.
We also ordered scallion pancake on the side – super crispy. Almost asked for another one to take home.
Service speed is probably the fastest I've seen for AYCE. Food comes quick. Open till midnight – great for late-night cravings. And if you're staying at the Hilton? Literally across the street.”

“Went to Floor & Decor to look for some tile flooring and had the best experience! The customer service was amazing. One employee Oscar F. went above and beyond to help us find what we needed for our house project. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained with great detail the types of flooring for indoor and outdoor projects. Highly recommend asking for Oscar F. if you ever go there.”
“I spoke tonight to the guy in charge paolo such a nice gentleman. I’m filling a complaint against David the manager. Treats his employees so bad he disrespects them in front of customers. What kinds of business is this. He shouldn’t be in charge in fact he should be under supervision.”

“If you're in LA or the SGV and you haven't tried this coffee shop, you're definitely missing out.
I did try a few of their drinks but one in particular stood out. Starting with the bayberry jasmine, this is perfect for if you do not have a sweet tooth, and the bayberry adds a refreshing tart taste.
And this was the first place I've seen do a pear matcha combo, and after trying it, it really works. Definitely recommend if you haven't tried it before.
But my favorite has to be the Kyoho grape lemon tea. It's made with those big juicy Asian grapes, and it's SO delicious. This drink is genuinely a 10/10.
Thanks for reading! ^-^”

“Absolutely worth the visit! Browned has some of the best pastries I’ve had in SGV. The puffs are light, crispy, and not overly sweet. My favorites were the Oolong tea, Salted Egg Yolk Taro, and Dark Chocolate flavors. We also loved the Rose Lychee Raspberry Croissant and the Kimchi Runny Egg Croissant,the sweet and savory combination was so unique. Everything tasted fresh and beautifully made. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!”
“Fresh fruit, handcrafted toppings, and drinks you won’t find anywhere else?🍊🥥🧋 Say less.
If you’re looking for your next boba spot, Lucky FruiTea in San Gabriel needs to be on your list. They specialize in premium tea drinks made with fresh, seasonal fruit and creative flavors that stand out from the usual menu.
Here’s what I tried:
🍫 Cracking Dubai Chocolate Slushy (Top 10) – rich, chocolatey, and topped with crunchy chocolate goodness.
🥭 Papaya Coconut Slushy (seasonal) – tropical, creamy, and super refreshing.
🍑 Creamy White Peach Milk Tea (Top 10) – smooth, fragrant, and perfectly peachy.
🫐 Fresh Lychee Slushy – packed with real lychee flavor and incredibly refreshing.
Don’t skip the snacks either! The Popcorn Chicken is crispy, juicy, and the perfect savory pairing for your drinks. And if you’re craving dessert, the Mashed Taro Oolong Milk Tea Gelato is creamy, earthy, and absolutely worth ordering.”
“I have tried many roujiamos at many places around LA and the one i had here was the best by far. In addition i had the liangpi which was also good. Sometimes at night i dream about going to this restaurant again and in my dream, im trying the other things on the menu. The owner is also the kindest person!”
“Last night I tried the pork cartilage rice combo, and it was a pleasant surprise. The pork was tender and juicy, and the portion size was very reasonable. They also have a great variety of classic Asian dishes—I’m excited to come back and try more. Glad I found this spot!”
“Delicious food. Amazing service. Top quality meats—wife and I took my parents here and got the Supreme menu. My parents LOVED this place and were praising it all night.
Steven was our server and he took excellent care of us. He personally prepared each A5 Wagyu Shabu morsel for our table. Absolutely decadent.
Steven was on top of service, asking us if we needed anything and coming by to fill waters all the time. Service and meat quality matched the price 💪”
“To all Filipinos and Filipino food fans out there! Do not be deceived with the name! This is not your ordinary bobba shop! Tim's Thai Tea/Mags Matamis serves the best halo-halo in SoCal! This will be my go to place from now on whenever I crave for halo-halo.
The place is perfect. You should visit Blossom Market Food Hall soon!
Tims Thai Tea - I hope you sell your ube and buko pandan ice cream in a pint🙏😉”
“This place is absolutely adorable and full of warmth.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make me a unique little dog-shaped cake — it truly made my day and meant a lot to me.
Being treated with such care on my birthday made the experience so special and memorable. I really appreciate it ❤️”
“Went here after a hike and we COULD NOT stop eating. The people there were so nice and the the small area personally was much more enjoyable. The price is amazing for the food and service, please everyone try this place out.”
