Beautiful restaurant with really good service! We came for my friend's bday and we were given the private dining room. It was beautiful and they even gave us our own bathroom. I loved the ambiance here. Now onto the food. I thought most of the dishes were good but nothing outstanding. They mainly tasted like traditional Chinese restaurant food. We did get two ducks and they had a little show for us to watch which was really cool! I would recommend this place for a cool special occasion but food wise, it's mediocre. This place is definitely worth a try once though. read more

My boyfriend is in love with two things in this world, me and the golden soup with beef from here. This place offers a unique and upscale ambiance unlike any other Chinese restaurant I've been to. We had a lovely experience, the vibe was very pleasant, and the presentation of it all was exquisite. The food was executed excellently with careful touches from the way they paired together flavors like the plum in the jellyfish appetizer to the skilled knife work. They offer an extensive selection of classic Chinese dishes with a refreshing twist. Would recommend everyone try, especially to celebrate a nice occasion. read more

Array 36 is fine dining chinese food and the service is amazing. Is it the best chinese food? no but it is a really nice place if you want to to take someone to impress. The duck is carved table side and set on fire first. they serve it 3 different ways (just skin, sliced for crepe pancakes, and smoked). it's really a great experience. The duck was delicious, I just wish the hoison was better. Id also pass on the pork belly with quail eggs. The spot prawn was delicious as was the fried shrimp. As of June 2025 they are offering a bogo on the duck where you buy one now and get a free one next time. However it is cut inside so no duck on fire tableside and only comes cut the one way (for crepe pancake). read more

Really wanted to like this place but it's just overpriced Chinese food and the duck presentation was all about 2 seconds not worth it imo. Service was not friendly since we ordered 4 dishes they kept saying "that's it?!"... yeah 4 dishes for $400 not worth it read more

Took my dad here for dinner as he only prefers to eat Chinese food when we go out. Saw this place highlighted on IG a few times. The service was okay but they don't have linen napkins or provided us with napkins so we had to ask for that. We ordered the roast duck for the show. I was shocked they just heated it up lmao. The skin was extra crispy though and they recommended dipping it in the brown sugar. This was surprisingly very good and my dad liked it. The portion isn't that big so feel free to order other dishes. We also ordered: Braised Pork Belly: this was probably the best dish. 4/5 Clay pot chicken: 3/5 - the flavor was okay but this was primarily bones. Garlic choy sum - 5/5 - this was my dad's favorite dish. The decoration inside was beautiful. Overall, I thought the experience was okay but not worth it. read more

Array 36 - Jellyfish & Duck - Chinese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

After attending my husband's friend's daughter's Birthday, my son still wanted to eat something else. We don't know the area much so we decided to just drive around and found this place called "ARRAY 36", the area of the outside is not pretty in my opinion, but my Son wanted to eat already. When we got inside to check them out, omg the place was Beautiful so that I decided that we should stay and dine in. There's so much on their Menu to choose from, but my Boys just trusted me to order, so here is what I chose to order: *ARRAY 36 SIGNATURE ROAST DUCK *CHEESY SHRIMPS VOLCANO *BLACK TRUFLE BEEF FRIED RICE Our ARRAY 36 SIGNATURE ROAST DUCK was served table side. When I saw a cart being pushed by a chef near our table, I knew I had to turn my Camera on and I'm glad I did 'coz the Chef Fired UP the DUCK in FLAMES and it was in a big beautiful fire! After the Flame was done, the Chef cut the meats. First he cut the crispy skin and placed them on our table and another cut was just all the meats together and the last one was meats that he put through a smoker. Overall, the presentation is beautiful! I thought that was the end of the wow-factor of our food when the Chef Left our table, but then it was Followed by this CHEESY SHRIMP VOLCANO. It has Noodles with Shrimps and it wowed us again 'coz this time it looks like a Chopticks with Noodles hanging in the Air ;) . It's so freaking cool! Our Fried rice had good portions, but I had no Cocktail 'coz they said they don't have any yet on their list. So they also gave us these sets of Vegetables, wrappers, and sauce, these are the ones you would use to wrap your Smoked Duck and believe me this is a good once you make your wrap with everything on it. The Skin of the Duck was so crispy, just the way we like it. We ate the rest of the Duck the Chef had cut for us with the delicious Fried Rice. Now for the CHEESY SHRIMP VOLCANO, it has the Chopstick hanging in the Air with Noodles and Shrimp that you guys see in my pics, omg this is also a must get, this was very Tasty and delicious! This one tasted so good, the SHRIMPS were big and meaty and the sauce was so perfect on the noodles, it's so good! The ambiance was very nice, the food was delicious, and we had great service from Frank. We enjoyed our first dining experience here. And for the Parking, there's plenty of spots to park. read more

Wanted so much to like this restaurant! The one item we ordered that we loved were the vegetables, they were delicious! The shrimp was just OK. The noodle dish we ordered "mild" but was mild spicy, too much for me! The pancake was most disappointing, no flavor, no salt, the only onion flavor was the green onion on top of it! Sadly, I doubt we will come back! read more

Array 36 is a Chinese fine dining restaurant located in San Gabriel. It's a very cool space, with unrivaled decor and atmosphere. Service was on top of it, and the food was delicious. The six of us split somewhere around ten dishes. My favorite was probably the crispy shrimp. We all felt like the value was pretty good. We were actually expecting the bill to be quite a bit higher. If looking for a fun restaurant to dine out at in San Gabriel Valley, I would highly recommend considering Array 36. read more

Array 36 has become my go-to for client dinners in Temple City. The space is sleek and upscale with just the right lighting and energy for a professional setting, and the service is polished -- attentive without hovering. Every dish we've ordered has been beautifully plated and full of flavor, the kind of food that genuinely impresses a table. If you need a sophisticated spot to host clients or celebrate a closed deal, this is it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ PS. Peking duck is a must order! read more

Visited my old stomping grounds to celebrate my Dad's 80th! Bro-in-law knows someone, so getting reservation for a private room was easy. The staff was so on it and patient and kind with our crew. And the food was amazing. Fanciest Chinese food I've had (ever?). It was definitely fine dining to another level. I'm much more accustomed to more moderate level of Chinese food consumption, so dining at Array 36 was a super awesome experience. The food was amazing. Smaller portions than your standard Chinese restaurant but enough to share. We ordered so many variety of dishes, I can't comment on all of them, but it was all very delicious. Best peking duck I've had. Best beef chow fun I've had. And got to try some new to me Chinese dishes. The mala-taste was very strong in some, but think that's what they were going for and I didn't mind it at all. My husband who likes a good ambiance, loved the entry way visuals. Other than the entryway decor, the rest of the place is what you expect at a bustling Chinese restaurant. read more

If you don't like attention, DEFINITELY don't get the flaming Peking duck at Array 36. This is probably the most extra dining experience I've ever had, but to be real, that's kinda my vibe, and ESPECIALLY when it actually is as good as it looks. You're probably thinking, damn, a restaurant like this must be expensive, but I'm here to ungatekeep all the hacks. So what you do first is join their membership. It's $58 BUT you automatically get their Signature roasted duck that's normally $98 for FREE. Then you can get dishes at member-only prices, like Sichuan peppercorn chicken for $10, and where else can you get stir-fried WAGYU for $20? And imma let you in on a little secret... the floating noodle lava shrimp dish doesn't actually exist on the menu, but you can only order it as a member! At this point, the math ain't mathing. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

It's so nice seeing some higher end Chinese restaurants opening up. The food is quality, service is top notch, and the interior design is gorgeous.

The plates blind you every time you lean over to eat... The servers/managers were confused about the chubby cattle collab. Servers really good about refilling water. Spare ribs were too hard. Frog pieces were too tiny so I just tasted seasoning. Cauliflower dish was good. Peppercorn beef dish with the blue pot was very good. Try Mountain House in RH read more

Came here for the roasted duck! You have to pay more for the presentation that includes the table side carving and smoked duck, which was worth it! Service was great and enjoyed each dish!

Array 36 is an upscale restaurant that offers authentic Chinese dishes. We came here for lunch and I'm honestly blown away at the experience. The food was impeccable. Yes it's pricey but they're using fresh seafood and meats so you're paying for quality. All the dishes were super well balanced. Nothing was overly salty or spicy but everything had a great depth of flavor. My favorite bit of the meal was the golden soup. Very luscious with a hint of sour and spice. There were also no bones in the fish. The Peking Duck was delicious. Very lean and the chun bings came out steaming. I also liked how they offered a brown sugar as apart of the toppings with gave the Peking Duck a surprise pop of flavor. What really stood out to me was the dining experience. Each table felt very private because the tables are pretty spread out and the decor of the restaurant has decorative barriers. The decor and ambience is lovely as well. The service was great, waiters were very attentive and kind. Overall Array 36 is a great choice if you want to go all out on a meal and get some really tasty dishes. read more

Came to celebrate the Lunar New Year...loved the ambiance and the design of the restaurant. It's unique and very different than the white walled typical colors of other Chinese establishments. The decor was nice and it looked like they really spent quite a bit on the overall construction. We ordered quite a few dishes for our party of 10 - you can see the pictures. I would say maybe 4 dishes (jellyfish, pork, shrimp and soup) were a hit while the remaining were misses - and that was basically unanimous amongst our party. The worst dishes were the fish and steak - not good at all. Service was hit and miss - we were in a private room and they didn't refill the hot tea until we asked, they didn't change the plates until we asked, nor did they come to remove the finished plates so we just put them on a buffet nearby. We saw trash on the floor, stray chopsticks around the wall decor, and a balloon that was up against the ceiling. Many have said how pricey the place is - I tried to evaluate based on experience, food and service. Regardless of the price, this place was mediocre at best...but then you add in the almost $960 bill, I honestly can't say I would recommend this place. I have heard from several friends that the service and cleanliness have gone downhill since its initial opening months...maybe ownership would consider regrouping and refocusing. We all wanted to enjoy the meal but we were disappointed with the overall experience. read more

This review is really a 3.5 rounded up to 4. Array 36 is a new spot in town, the decor is modern and elevated. The service is slow during peak hours, the food was served and after we were halfway through the dish, the staff would come by and introduce the dishes to us. We waited nearly 25 minutes to pay the check after we finished eating. They added a desert for us as an apology, which then also took 10 minutes to arrive. The duck here is great. It's well prepared and the flavors are well tuned. The yuzu flavor of the jellyfish was also refreshing and a hit with the table. The rest of the dishes were good, but we felt that the direct comparisons at Bistro Na's were better. None of the dishes were bad, but it felt like they were just a step behind. Shrimp could be crispier and short ribs needed to be a bit more tender. This place is worth a try, especially with their ongoing BOGO duck deal during grand opening. Hopefully their service gets a bit more polished. read more

I wasn't expecting much since my sister went here a few months earlier and said it was alright, but from the moment I entered, it was BEAUTIFUL!! Such a lovely interior and worth a try just for how well decorated it is. As for the food, it was so so good!! Obviously on the pricier side, but my sister came back and said the food was much better, so it depends what you order. Highly recommend the crispy shrimp dish and the cumin lamb dish! The service is also top of the notch!! They gave us the wrong order, we said we ordered something else, and they immediately took it back and gave us the right order, no questions asked! Server was also honest about what dishes are good or okay, which I really appreciated. Also, the jasmine tea is the BEST tea I've ever had, and I highly recommend ordering it as well. This place 100% exceeded my expectations!! read more

This was our third time dining at Array 36, and once again, it did not disappoint. The consistency here really stands out -- every visit has been solid, which is why we keep coming back. This time we came with family, and everyone genuinely enjoyed the meal, which says a lot. The highlight, without question, is their Peking duck. From the crispness of the skin to the balance of fat and the way it's carved and served, everything is done right. Honestly, it's one of the best Peking ducks you can find in Los Angeles -- rich but not greasy, and something you actually want to eat again. Beyond the duck, the overall food quality is high, the service is smooth and well-paced, and the space is comfortable, making it a great spot for family dinners or special occasions. Array 36 has become one of those rare places we trust for repeat visits and happily recommend to friends. read more

I wanted to like this place because of its concept of Chinese fine dining, but I left disappointed due to hit-or-miss dishes and subpar service. I wouldn't recommend this place over other Chinese restaurants in the area, especially given its high price point. Dishes: Crispy Prawns (5/5) Duck (4/5) Pork Jowl (3/5) - meat a little tougher than I would've liked Claypot fish (2/5) - more like garlic cloves with a side of fish, a little too heavy on the wine Cabbage (4/5) - had a nice level of spice to it Service was somewhat slow and inattentive (ex: hard to flag down waiters, had to grab own napkins). One positive was that the nterior was nice (sleek/fancy). read more

Went with mom and auntie and ordered the $98 special. Flagged a server who didn't speak English who called the manager over. Asked if the dishes were spicy. He said only one so we requested to omit the spice. The tofu skin came with high heat level and the fish soup had a hint of spice too. Would've wanted all the leftover parts of the duck they didn't serve with the Peking duck slices like other restaurants...With an Asian lady talking loud nonstop in her native dialect from the moment we sat down, needless to say not a pleasant experience whatsoever read more

Every visit to this restaurant leaves me absolutely blown away. Dining here isn't just a meal - it's an experience. The best upscale Chinese fine dining restaurant in the area. You can tell how much thought, time, and investment went into the design and decor. From the moment you walk in, you're transported into another world. Shoutout to Bob for always providing exceptional service and for being the best of the best! He is attentive, knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure we have an amazing dining experience. Our go-to dishes are the peking duck, lobster, and blueberry jelly-infused yam, paired with the refreshing fresh coconut drink (coming from someone who hates coconuts). The peking duck performance is the highlight of the meal - they serve the crispy skin first which is meant to be enjoyed with the brown sugar. I loved the addition of pear to the peking duck as well! They prepare the duck two ways - flamed and smoked, both of which are incredible. I highly recommend walking through the entire restaurant to take in all the decor - even the bathrooms are beautifully designed. The largest VIP private room also has a starry ceiling. MUST ORDER: - Signature Roast Duck (obviously) - Lobster (Typhoon Shelter Style) - Blueberry Jelly-Infused Yam - Soybean Sprouts - Beef Prime Ribs - Crispy Prawns - Braised Pork - Mango Sago - Red Sugar Sweet Wine Sesame Glutinous Rice Balls - Fresh Coconut Drink I cannot compliment every dish enough. Every dish is a masterpiece and you honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The value is worth it for what you get with the ambiance and quality of food. Love it so much here!! read more
