Green beans cooked perfect
Victor R.

Oh my goodness what a find this place is delicious I loved they made everything fresh when you order and everything was sooooo good the soup was amazing the green bean the sho Mai was so fresh and delicious I recommend yall try this place why it has low ratings I have no idea and I'm picky on food I was driving by and just decided to pull in and I'm glad I did

Roast pig and duck
Kit T.

Little would l know there is a small gem tucked inside this plaza. My mom bought a pound of roast pork to try. It looks amazing and super crispy. Plus one doesn't have to wait so long like at Sam Woo. Will definitely have to come for the lunch specials too.

Hainan chicken
Girly M.

I bought Hainan chicken and braised pork with preserved veg. =$45.50 this morning. Hoping the taste was good but it was not close to what expected. The chicken is so bland and smells bad like it is old chicken already. The braised pork also tastes old, not moist, I feel like throwing it back to them and asking for money back. NOT EVER GOING BACK!!! The flyer pictures look good but the Hainan chicken but a real chicken that we took home looks soooo bad and smell bad

BBQ items. They have a nice selection of pork.

This place lives up to its name. Let me explain: Eating here is truly like going to auntie's house. Family members are sitting at a table on their devices. Our orders were taken by an 8 year old kid, and he also brought our dishes out. At some point during our meal, the siblings sitting at the table began fighting, and ran towards the kitchen where mom was to snitch on each other. I mean, where else can you feel like you're at someone's house, while actually in a restaurant? The food: We went with a few familiar items. Chicken fried rice without any veggies or scallions. It wasn't bad. Not many pieces of chicken but flavor was good. Beef chow fun was also good. It didn't have that high heat wok taste we crave and some of the beef pieces were tough. Fish and black bean sauce with chili. I'm not sure where the chili's were because it wasn't at all hot, but the flavor was good. Roasted pork with ginger and scallions was our experimental dish, and wasn't what we expected. These are actual pieces from a whole roasted pork, with crispy pork skin stir fried. Some pieces of the pork were tender, some were just full of fat. The crispy skin were tough. I can imagine that's how chewing rawhide would be like. This dish is very heavy and hard to finish. With all the pros and cons of this restaurant, I still give them a 4 because it's undoubtedly a family run restaurant and I love supporting small businesses. Go support them. The prices are more than reasonable and the food isn't bad at all. Their BBQ items look really good. They're nice people and if you're lucky, you get to catch the siblings arguing.

Hainan chicken rice

Don't eat itBig mistake Cuihe Roasted Meat Food A shop I have collected for a long time I went there by myself today. The shop was very simple when I entered. There was only one auntie. She checked out, cooked and served the dishes by herself Avoid the mistakeI ordered the barbecued pork and Hainanese chicken rice. I ate in the restaurant It was served in a takeaway box and there was only a pitiful amount of Hainanese chicken, no barbecued pork I asked the auntie why there was no barbecued pork in the rice I ordered She said there was no barbecued pork I was convinced, why didn't you tell me when I ordered the meal The price was 13, only a few pieces of chicken, no taste, the dipping sauce was tasteless, and some vegetables When I checked out, I was charged 15 directly, and I didn't tell you that there was no dish I ordered Directly served me the wrong dish, very small portion, no water, no service

Auntie Kitchen is pretty solid, I would definitely say one of Baldwin Park's hidden gems for Chinese food. It's in the same plaza as the Subway, Starbucks, and Dollar Tree, so there's plenty of parking. There's actually three locations for Auntie Kitchen, one in BP, one in El Monte, and another in San Gabriel. This place is relatively small but with a good menu, good prices, and great portion size. It's family-owned, so you'll see the same family who will be helping you. My family and I like to order the Wonton Soup for $8.50 and Chow Mein for $10.99 with a choice of protein (e.g., shrimp, beef, bbq pork, or pork). They also have milk tea for $2.99. Overall, I would recommend it and I love that it is close to my place.

Great neighborhood deli! It is hidden in the DollarTree & Starbucks plaza. We ordered the wonton noodle soup, 2 items dry wonton noodles, salt & Pepper Shrimp, HK style riceroll, total tab was $40. I was extremely impressed with the Salt & Pepper shrimp ($14ish) it came with jumbo shrimp with heads on, perfect crispness, very generous portion compared to other sit-down restaurants; I think we got more than a dozen shrimp in the order. Mom's favorite was the roast duck in her dry noodle plater, it was seasoned just right, not too fatty, and very good quality! It is a family-owned restaurant, the owners were very friendly to all customers, a nice place to go for a health meal in BP!

I was in the area for a football game and wanted to get some Chinese food. Ordered the shrimp dish. I was surprised at how small it was. It weighed nothing and portion was so small. Never coming back.

The BBQ pork and wonton noodle soup was good. I would've liked it to have more soup since I enjoy my noodle soup soupy. Flavor of the soup could be better, but I added chili oil so it did the job. They do give you a loaded bowl though! I'd give it 3 1/2 stars for the BBQ pork and wonton noodle soup. I will be back to try other items on their menu.

Beef chow fun and yang chow fried rice.  Huge portions.
Denny T.

Saw this place pop up on my feed a few weeks ago and I was in the area so I decided to try it out. I got the beef chow fun and yang chow fried rice. Beef chow fun was excellent. Nice wok flavor and the noodles were very flavorful. The fried rice was ok, a little bland, but pretty good if you add some chili sauce and eat it with the chow fun. Total came out to around $24 for the two dishes, but the portions are very generous and should be able to feed 2-4people easily. The owner was very friendly and I was the only one in there on a Tuesday at 11:30am, so I hope business isn't usually that slow for them. Give them a shot, lots of different stuff on the menu.

What's up: My aunt heard about this place having their grand opening and wanted to try it out. There's also an Auntie Kitchen located in El Monte and this was their second location. Parking: Located in the Gateway Center shopping mall, parking is shared among the nearby businesses. Parking was easy to find but there were some areas that were blocked off for outdoor dining. Environment: Masks are required to enter. The interior is small and had 8 tables. Restrooms are located towards the back of the building and clearly marked. Orders for BBQ meats can be made at the counter. Staff members were friendly and easygoing. We came for indoor dining and were seated immediately. Most customers came to place to go or BBQ orders. What was ordered: - Braised Duck with Bean Curd Skin (very flavorful) - Wonton and Beef Tripe Noodle Soup (flavorful) - Beef Chow Fun - dry style (yummy) - Egg Rice Noodle Roll (soft) - Yang Chow Fried Rice (yummy) - Prunella Vulgaris Drink (not too sweet, refreshing) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, the food was pretty good. If you're the type that wants less salt and less oil in your food, this place does it really well. We made that request and the flavor did not suffer from it. The food is served in to go containers, so you'll be ready to go if you don't finish your meal. Credit cards are accepted.

I personally love their spicy wonton soup, but I've also tried the regular soup and the broth is amazing either way. I just prefer the spicier version. It's hard to really say what you should order here, I personally like the spicy wonton soup, but every single one of their appetizers that I have tried are amazing, unfortunately, I haven't tried too many of their main dishes as I tend to be a creature of habit, but I'm sure just like with all the appetizers that I've tried everything you order here will come out amazing. Anytime it's cold or starts to rain, this is my go to spot for a nice warm soup

We've been here a few times and the dongpu fatty pork meat with buns is always a go to.

Service is great and the staff are friendly, they only interact with us when we make eye contact which is fine since the establishment is rather small so you don't have to stare across a large open area to try to get someone's attention.

However, if you want to try something a little different, there are some "traditional" Kaiping specialties that I haven't seen on menus anywhere else. I've always come with my family and have received great service because my dad knows the staff. They speak my home dialect so I'm sure there's some bias there. Foodwise, I've tried quite a bit and haven't had any dishes that didn't hit the mark for me. Standouts for me are the big claypot yellow eel rice, their specialty roast goose (the 2 dishes just listed may require a preorder but again, my dad usually handles all the ordering), their beansprout with pig intestine, and their egg plant with salted fish. The claypot rice is ordered by the kilo so really is a big party dish but has nice succulent pieces of eel, really well cooked rice, and then of course the crispy rice at the bottom. The goose is very flavorful and not super gamey, it has more of a meaty texture and bite than the younger poultry an American pallette may be used to so word of warning. I really like the beansprout with pig intestine, again not really gamey but very savory with very tender, fatty pieces of intestine (highly recommend even if you're hesitant with intestine). The eggplant with salted fish is also intensely savory with a pungency from the salted fish that may seem like a lot but melds really well with the sauce and overall flavor of the dish. Though I haven't tried every dish on their menu, I've tried quite a bit and can confidently say they'll bring out some tasty Chinese dishes.

When walk in, there is enough tables on the side to sit down but the service is always warm and nice. I also like to order the house special (soup) style dumplings that are pork filled even though I generally don't eat pork, these dumplings are ground pork and delish and what you would want in a juicy dumpling. The dumpling soup 7/10 I'm not much of a Szechuan flavor girl. I do like it but I don't like it being drenched in it so much. Basically, watch out for the numbness and spiciness in this dish, although the lady taking my order did try to forewarn me by asking for my spice levels before hand. (: otherwise, great choices and great fix for Chinese cuisine! I always seem to order to go so I don't have any pics to attach to this review, but I hope to return soon to update my review.

This place is one of my families favorite local spot. What I really appreciate about the restaurant…read moreis how diverse the clients are and the staff. It really goes to show how the surrounding community that has a balance of different ethnic group comes to appreciation the good flavor and quality of this Chinese cuisine. The services here are very friendly and attentive. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you come in an hour before they close they will let you know that in advance. I think the intent is so you order fast and don't linger. Not a negative for me since my family usually is pretty quick about eating and going. They are also pretty good with customizing their ingredients. My wife is gluten free so we would ask that they not add in soy sauce or oyster sauce in some of the dishes that we know can still work without those two ingredients. You would need to know how to customize it yourself as I don't think they would know what to do if you simply say no gluten. Overall, I really don't have anything negative to say about this place. We walk in hungry and happy and we come out full and satisfied.

She always orders the Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce, which she absolutely loves and talks about every visit. This time, I went with the Kung Pao Three Delights, which was solid and flavorful. My only real complaint was the fried rice. It wasn't like any fried rice I've had before--it seemed more like plain rice mixed with soy sauce and just didn't do much for me. Definitely not something I'd order again. That said, my mom would probably give this place 5 stars based on her favorite dish alone. While my experience wasn't quite at that level, the entrée itself was still enjoyable. Overall, I'd return and would recommend.

There's plenty to walk around in the plaza (desserts, pastries, açaí bowls) while you're waiting and even a fountain. Once seated everything moves relatively fast. The menu is extensive, food comes out quickly and fresh, and workers are attentive even though you order through a tablet and it's super busy inside. Food is stellar and of value (6 XLB for $8!), portion sizes are good, and everything is piping hot! The soup dumplings have soo much soup IMO beating out Mama Lu's which is what I would consider to be their nearest competitor. The spicy shrimp wontons are also good, but I think the flavors don't quite hit as well - big pieces of shrimp are enclosed though! The Peppered Beef Udon was great the beef pieces were tender and juicy and great textured noodles. Onion pancakes are a staple along w/cucumber salad (not pictured) , and their pan fried pot stickers are my favorite along with the sauce it comes with. Sooo crispy. Pro tip: If you are a first timer/came from far and waited a while don't let them seat you at the bar the experience is not as nice by far (I saw someone say it's like paying to stare at a wall - I concur) Being seated at a booth or table will allow you the full experience but I do understand there's only a limited amount of room in the bustling place.
