“Was Staying in San Gabriel in last October for vacation. We went to universal studios nun to eat there once we left we didn’t really want to drive so we chose the closes option in San Gabriel was this got the chicken sandwich meal it was literally the best chicken sandwich I ever eaten I was crying with joy it was the best food I ever ate made us go back to there in our last stay in California I got the burger the best thing I eaten along with the wings this restaurant is the best and delicious thing I ever eaten… I forgot to post this last year in October“
“If you find yourself in the San Gabriel area, be sure to visit Hey Chicken. Their fried chicken is crispy, tasty, and will leave you craving more. And don't miss out on their black chicken! Initially, we thought it might be overcooked, but the perfectly cooked crunchiness sets this dish apart.“
“I've had my share of Hainan Chicken at many places, but the juicy and tenderness of this chicken was beyond what I was expecting. The service was very good. Very cheerful and wholesome. The place itself wasn't super esthetic or anything. Just your typical hole in the wall...couldve used a few plants, though. Highly recommend this place if you are somewhat of a Hainan chicken enthusiast.“
“The food was delicious and exquisite, with flavors and textures that left a great impression to me. And the staff were attentive and ensured every need was met promptly and professionally. Overall, it's a remarkable dining spot excelling in both food and service. Definitely would come again!“
“Poached chicken (Hainan chicken 海南鸡) is at the best (9/10), most delicious I had in a while, as we always order it as an appetizer in Chinese restaurants.It’s hard to understand the greatness if you have not tried to perfect it as a home chef. Poached chicken is considered one of the most difficult. It needs to be tender, flavorful and juicy. The tenderness comes from the perfect timing in cooking which YouTube has lots of videos I am able to follow. However it’s hard to achieve the rich flavor of the poached chicken at home which requires (1) a rich soup where you repeatedly dipped and poached the chicken (2) sourcing the high quality free-ranged chicken while average home chefs like myself who buys the chicken from Asian market or a butcher in Chinatown. AND the most difficult and missing in most Chinese restaurants is the gelatinous juiciness. It’s a thin gelatinous texture layered between its meat and skin which is done by perfecting the cooling process. I believe most good Cantonese and Shanghainese chef knows how to achieve it but it’s too much of work to do it in most restaurants. I admit I have been little show-off my love and understanding of the poached chicken. But I am really amazed with what they have done here beyond my expectations.The set comes with the tasty chicken rice which is cooked with garlic/ shallots and chicken fat. It can also be order without the rice as one quarter ($12), half ($22) and as a whole ($32, which is little pricey, but definitely worth it as it is the best I had in US. Just a friendly reminder, their chicken is traditionally served with bones, following the customary Chinese presentation found in many Chinese restaurants.The second must have dish/ desert is their Coconut Custard/ pudding（椰子奶冻）in a whole coconut. It’s a first for us. We were surprised to discover it have tow layers, one clear and one milky. It is not so sweet with pleasant aroma of the coconut. As it is presented in a whole coconut makes it very unique and highly recommended. I ordered the takeaway of their ginger milk custard（姜汁撞奶）which is considered another signature sweet of theirs.The other dish we ordered with their French stir fry beef fillet（法式牛柳饭）with onion fried rice in red. It is very tasty. I have had them in some Vietnamese restaurants and couple fancy Chinese restaurants. The meat was tender and the taste were sweet and savory. We enjoyed it.Their house daily special soup is also very delicious to have. The one we had is pork soup with watercress and dry Chinese apricots（例汤：南北杏西洋菜瘦肉）which Cantonese Chinese believes it is good for internal balance of body wellness. The daily special soup（例汤）at most restaurants is cooked for hours. I hav seen they have coconut chicken soup on the menu and wish to order next trip there.We stepped in this pleasant surprise finding by chance. We were at the famous Taiwanese tea shop “Chi Cha San Chan” (8/10) next door. Since we were still full from an over ordered lunch in “Sushi GEN” (9/10 for its food only), we want something simple and comforting. However the menu is nothing simple as we have expected initially. Although it doesn’t have those expensive live sea food, it is a full extended menu with most of the traditional comforting food includes beef briskets noodles, pork wontons, beef stir fry rice noodles and most of the dishes you can find in an authentic Chinese restaurant. The boss lady is very nice speaks both mandarin and Cantonese. She reminds my of one the old TVB movie actress. I highly recommend this place as home chef and foodie.Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian offerings. However, you needs to explain to the waitress while ordering without confusingKid-friendliness: The boss lady is friendly.“
“Great selection of prime meats, fish, and poultry. The deli has some tasty salads and goodies as well. Market looks well kept and clean. Service is also a plus.Replying to comment. I saw the bakery in the front of the store but was afraid to go closer. Will definitely shop there again and give myself plenty of time to go up and down the isles. Kudos to you and your team!“
