Service was slow and rude, ordered 3 stack of pancakes and sausage took 30 minutes to come out. Made mistakes on orders and added extra items on tab. There is a 20% mandatory service charge. Pancake and waffles were dry and hard despite taking 30 minutes to come out? Small portion size but expensive. Girl on the staff was shouting and loud. Overall terrible experience

I think this place deserves some more love. I been coming here for the last 13 years. People come here for the environment, quiet and clean, 5 stars. The food is average, nothing stands out and the selection is limited, 3 stars. The price has gone up quite a bit, 50% since pandemic, 3 stars. I would still recommend if you are looking for a quiet place to eat and mingle with family or friends, where you can all hear each other.

Not worth it.I am going to keep this short.Food: not amazing, limited selection for the all you can eat, and even then only a few were tasty. Most were over salted. The only savior was the noodle soup station.Service: staff meandered around, but clean up was quickAtmosphere: dated.Not returning.

For breakfast, the omelet was delicious and so was the oatmeal. Actual price is about 30% more than the listed price after 10% tax and 20% service charge is added, making it actually very expensive for what you get. Hilton Honors gold and diamond members get $18 of credit towards breakfast. Those who do not quality for the credit are better off dining elsewhere.

Trinity is located within the Hilton San Gabriel lobby. The restaurant was mostly empty for breakfast except for a couple of tables. It was nice because it was quiet and relaxing. The staff as always, were amazing. They were warm, inviting and friendly. They were also very attentive without hovering.I absolutely loved that they offered congee for breakfast. As someone who would prefer not to eat a sweet breakfast, the alternative was wonderful. The congee was bland, but it came with several condiments to add your desired flavor. The dish came with pickled veggies, peanuts and meat floss. I used all of the condiments and added sriracha; tasty. We also ordered their Chinese noodle soup and that was packed with flavor. The bok choy and other components made the dish. My daughter ordered their French toast and she said it was the best she’s had.We paid approximately $50 which already included the tip. The restaurant was non tipping.

Waiter said he grabbed management to come to a solution with a credit card issue, given this is the came card that is on my room. Watched as he proceeded to ask another waiter then came back to me, after he stated he spoke with management, saying I need to call my bank? Sat there on my phone for 45 minutes with my bank telling me everything is fine. At that point, 45 minutes later, the waiter came back with a member of management saying to just charge it to my room. Definitely wouldn’t of ever tipped this waiter a 20 percent tip, which is mandatory. Explains why I was the only one in this restaurant at 6:00.

6/11/2023 - We all enjoy the tasting menu at the Trinity restaurant at Hilton Los Angeles San Gabriel. The Walnut shrimp is so tender and juicy with a good taste. Thank Paul, the Lead Server, who once worked at one Michelin starred 2 restaurant in Hong Kong and Juli, the Sales Manager, for your hospitality.The weekend buffet brunch at $25.00 each is also attractive. We will come to try in the near future.

Inside Hilton San Gabriel and breakfast menu is limited but offers some Hong Kong style noodles and congee. Good to use your hotel food voucher. They charge $4 for coffee inside but also offer free coffee to take away for hotel guests at the entrance. They also charge 20% service charge automatically to your bill.

The food and service was OK . The selections were just tolerable not a great deal to choose from. They advertise a lobster buffet for $38 but limit the lobster to one half of a lobster. They automatically add 20% to the bill as a service charge. That would be acceptable if we were informed of this before sitting not to find out after finishing our meal. James did offer to remove this extra 20% after I expressed displeasure at it being automatically added to the charges.

Honestly it's a hidden gem. I have stayed at the Hilton San Gabriel many times and always eat at their Trinity restaurant at least once a day either for breakfast or lunch. The staff here are wonderful and so nice and attentive. Shout out to Paul for always being kind and attentive to me every time I eat there. He's amazing and very kind. The Chinese food here is pretty good especially the brisket and braised oxtail dish. They have pretty good specials too. Oh don't forget to get the herbal Chinese chicken soup, if i could have that broth every day. Omg.
