“They are known for their 譚仔阿姐 with her infamously quirky-accented Cantonese, and if you're expecting that, sorry! Service was nice though, just a little rough around the edges with some of the staff. Still not bad, and still professional.Food is decently priced, and not bad. Didn't disappoint at all! I'm glad I tried their house noodles they're famous for ?. The 魚蛋 (fish ball) is not shaped like a ball, more like they just scooped it and then made it in that shape without balling it up, but that's OK! Actually makes it easier to pick up with chopsticks ?. After finishing halfway through, I thought the toppings:noodle ratio was good, but was afraid the soup ratio to both might have been lacking. But really, the shape of the bowl is much deeper than you think. In the end, the Noodle:Topping:Broth ratio was actually PERFECT ?!My friend had the 雙拼湯麵 (Two-Topping Soup Noodles) with 雲吞 (Wonton) & 牛腩( Beef Plate), which is normally my go-to. He's not a thin noodles guy, but he thought it was flavorful. Plus, the noodles were springy!Their 蝦腸粉 (Shrimp Rice Rolls) looked a little messy, but was really good! Sauce was savory, slightly sweet, and the rice rolls themselves were really smooth! Wrinkly and folded up, yes, but it's the softest and smoothest I've had in a while.咖央西多士 (Kaya Toast) was interesting! If you're wondering what Kaya is, it's coconut jam. Admittedly though, the spread inside was a bit too thin for me. I would've liked a more liberal lathering of that Kaya. Otherwise, the cut of the thick bread ? all toasted up with egg batter around was OK. I wonder how it would've been if they soaked that bread in milk ahead of time though... ? Still worth ordering! Oh, and they bring out a thing of 蜜糖honey ? for it, but I'd rather pour the 煉奶 condensed milk over it, that's intended for the 奶茶 (milk tea).Which leads me to the segue into 奶茶. A little tame. Not heavy on the flavor. Really needed the condensed milk to give it some. But a good milk tea should have that nice Assam Tea smell to it. Although, not a lot of good milk tea places around the area, so what's given here is about par average.Parking: Parking used to be easy here, despite the weird design of the lot, which has more parking on the bottom. But then, the restaurant options got better, and holy mackerel! It got SUPER tight! Navigating here is no joke! People are trying to come in and out, you don't know whose coming from where, or how to fit.“

“Fast service, the crispiest roast pork I've had, friendly servers. It was not so crowded on a week night for dinner and some - some couples, some folks alone. There's also a separate room on the side that seems like it could fit 30-50. Dying to try the crispy pork belly! Big portions. I'll definitely come back.“

“Wah Sing Dim Sum, on San Gabriel Blvd., is just below Las Tunas Drive. The only time they've disappointed me is when I forget they're closed on Wednesdays. Other than that they make some of the yummiest dim sum around. They make my favorite charsiu.... chasu? chashu?? -- anyway, favorite bbq pork steamed bao here. I don't know what makes them so good. I think there's a hint of ginger in that filling. Their stir-fried noodles, $5.89 under the "Chef's Special" section, are also a steal. Their steamed sausage rolls are good as well. I've only ordered my food to-go. I've only seen diners inside one in a while although admittedly I usually stop in the early afternoon. The ladies behind the counter are no nonsense but sweet; they've thrown a sample my way once or twice. The wait for your food can be more than a few minutes, especially if that item you want isn't fully steamed yet, especially if they're busy, but the extra wait is worth it. They're a dim sum hole-in-the-corner of a strip mall dominated by a Good Fortune Supermarket, which means tons of parking. In fact, every single time I've been there, there's always another customer-- or several customers-- waiting to order, or waiting to receive their order. Speaking of ordering, they have the standard golf pencils (next to a bottle of hand sanitizer) for filling out the order form. There are also laminated menus with photos. Wah Sing is a dim sum dark horse that won't disappoint. Unless you go in a Wednesday“

“Haven't been back here since it's been sold from two owners ago. The switch to Shanghai cuisine is nice! I like the way the 馬蘭頭 (Indian Aster) was finely chopped. It's the smallest I've seen anywhere! The 油爆蝦 was cut down the middle to better let the oils get all the way in, making the skin really crisp! Their 外灘香酥鴨 ("Outer Beach" Crisp-Fried duck) was really good. It looked like it would have been dried out, but the juices stayed inside, and still maintained a crispy skin. The 蔥烤立魚 (Scallion-grilled Snapper) was alright, it featured a sweet-soy sort of taste, that smothered the entire fish with. The 紅燒肉 (Red-braised Pork) is pretty standard, but still good! Just make sure to be ready for the Heart attack! Then we topped it off with the 白果污泥甜湯 (Gingko + Tarot Puree Dessert Soup).Parking: Shared with the Tasty Choice. Be careful of parking at the back. Not sure if it belongs to a Chinese church or not.“

Hainan Chicken Rice

“I came to eat on Monday during dinner time. There was no one in the restaurant, so the waiter asked me to choose a seat. I ordered Wenchang Chicken, which tasted good. There was an additional charge for swiping the card at checkout, but I was not informed at the time.“

“Specialty Chang Fun restaurant? Count me in! Their Chang fun had such amazing texture- it was thin but had that je ne sais quoi. It almost as good as the one in Flushing, NY but they have much more varieties of flavor here. I was expecting the typical umami sauce like at dim sum places so their milder sauce took me aback. I'm guessing it's because they want the ingredients to shine, which it really did. To order:They give you a menu picture, a pen, and a scratch paper. Each menu item has a number, which you write on the scratch paper and hand to the waiter to order. Got the:1) pork & shrimp Chang fun: 9/10- Delicious and lots of ingredients - shrimp was a great texture, I only wish it was a tad bit bigger2) The fish rice noodle was amazing: 10/10- the fish was very soft and tender and just falls apart in your chopsticks. - They also seasoned the fish really well with white pepper - would get again and again3) beef stew Chang fun: 8/10- looks like their beef stew is very popular because they have many items with beef stew and I watched him scoop some from a large vat 4) egg Chang fun: 8/10- great, I mean, It's eggs in rice noodle, what else is there to say?5) chicken Chang fun: 9/10- one word: scrumptious 6) Preserved egg and pork congee: 9/10- the theme of this restaurant has been amazing texture- and this congee had exemplary texture- it was perfectly thick and had lots of ingredients - it comes with some chopped veggies and cilantro- I only wish there was more cilantro - there's white pepper on the table if you want to add any Can't wait to come back again. They get a bonus in my book for playing 90's HK films on TV, lol.“

“Highlights: Really great food, servers are nice and respectful, good price for the amount of food, cool dishes and cool green chopsticksDetailed review: Never been here until last week and what a great food find the place looked like a restaurant in NYC or somewhere else that didn't have that LA look which in my opinion was refreshingFood: I got the rice and pork ribs with sausage in a cool clay pot that Ive never seen before. The rice was really flavorful and fluffy and soft . The ribs were nice a tender with some mildy sweet sauce. And the best part was the sliced sausage it was delicious and savory I wish it came with a little bit more but the amount of food was enough for me to be satisfied and full. They also give you some herbal tea instead of water which I liked cause it was different then having soda or plain water, the water was well purified and didn't taste like LA tap water.Service: Servers were nice and friendly my order did take a bit to arrive but I don't mind because it's not a common dish to make and the business looks like a mom and pop restaurant so please be patient with food and the employees don't expect fast food time at a sit down restaurant.Price: I think the price for the meal and the service is within its price and not a wallet breaker unless you get more than one dish. One dish of the order I got can probably feed two average people I'm a big dude and it satisfied meThank you for reading my review I hope you get to read more ✌️?‍?️“

“I was pleasantly surprised how yummy this place was. I saw this place waiting for ramen last time so came to try out today. The beef in spicy sauce wasn't that spicy but was good with it's unique taste. My kids loved the free sides especially the peanuts. We ordered their best known poridge per the server (scallop porridge, 3 portions). We ordered 4 add-ons: fish, pork, 1000yo egg, and a crunchy white root. We included a Chinese donut. Everything was good, better than I expected. Is it a bit pricy, yes, but the quality of the ingredients is worth it in my opinion. I didn't know the base poridge includes shrimp and clams. I think I may add more clams next time. On a cold night, it hit the spot.“

“Wow. So delicious. We had the black pepper steak udon, Singapore noodle, and egg tofu with assorted mushrooms. Wow. I have never had such lovely egg tofu before. Soft like custard inside. Tender, great texture on the outside. Mushrooms were superb. Everything was so good. They gave us a free soup with big soft chunks of winter melon and some meaty bone with tender pork. There is also a fantastic breakfast deal. Two choices for 9.99.“
