We decided to split both dishes, and the portions ended up being pretty large for the price. We were full and still managed to have leftovers to take home afterward. Overall, the food was filling, seasoned well, and well portioned without being overly expensive. The only downside was that our waters were never refilled during the meal, although it honestly looked like there was only one server working at the time. Despite that, the service was still quick overall, and I'd definitely come back again to try some of the other items on their menu.

Service is no frills-- the waitresses are behind the counters most of the time and will come to check on you occasionally. We tried the blood sausage, YDJ, and beef short rib sullungtang! The soups were delicious, but the steamed blood sausage was a bit too gamey for my taste.

It wasn't really as spicy as I'd preferred but it was still really good. We also ordered the seafood pancake which was pretty yummy! I prefer this hanshin pocha location over the one in LA. The food here is better quality and they offer more deals. Service was good! There was only one server but they were attentive and we received our food within a reasonable amount of time. There is parking in a lot shared with other businesses though the lot can get pretty busy. Would come back!

Hanshin Pocha is that one restaurant for the late night eats and drinks if you choose to do so…read more This is not the first Hanshin Pocha I've been to, but this location is pretty spacious and can easily accommodate small groups. We saw a big group of 20-ish that tried to combine their tables, but since they were circular, they wouldn't connect very well. I tried their Spam Kimchi Pancake, Pomegranate Soju cocktail, and chicken wings, in a mild buffalo sauce. I liked the pancake, and it was just the right amount of sourness from the kimchi. It tasted great with the dipping sauce. The chicken wings were dry and small. The promo for it looked better than in person, so if we were to re-order I'd choose a Korean fried chicken. The service is attentive, and the place is great for all types of occasions. In the corner of the restaurant was also a photobooth which I didn't get to check out but might be easy to miss. I'd consider coming back with a bigger group since portion sizes are quite big!

Both were refreshing and not overly sweet. Highly recommend the pumpkin juice. For a side we got the galbi. Some of the fattiest, most tender and best marinated galbi I have ever had. Worth it. Our first entree was the soft tofu stew with beef brisket. The tofu was so fresh. The flavors were rich and delicious. I loved the bachan that came with it. The kimchi tasted fresh made. The macaroni salad tasted like apples were blended in with the mayonnaise. So sweet and refreshing. The other entree was a spicy seafood bibimbap. The egg on top was perfect. The seafood tasted fresh and a little briny. The crispy rice on the bottom gave it such a nice crunch. Great food and great service will make this your hidden gem Korean comfort food restaurant!

I ordered the chicken and abalone porridge and it honestly felt like it was soothing my stomach and bringing me back to life. Super warm, nourishing, and comforting. We also got the octopus bibimbap and that was really good too. Great flavors and cooked perfectly.

I took my mom here for a Mother's Day brunch and my birthday celebration because it falls around…read morethe same time every year. I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon.

It's a brown sugar milk tea with caramel foam with a floating frozen milk tea bear. ADORABLE!! The set even includes two house-made cookies. WOW! TASTY!! (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment.) I arrived at Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) on Wednesday (around 10:21AM). Parking is very easy. The lot is big. However, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) is very hidden. It has no visibility from the street! Staff is very professional and welcoming. Staff politely and cheerfully answered all my questions. Staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. For example, the location does not have a paper menu; all the menus are accessed via QR Code. Fortunately, Staff let me borrow their iPad which allowed me to see the menu on a larger screen. When I'd arrived, Staff asked if I was dine-in or to-go. I was immediately seated. When I'd inquired about the boba. Staff honestly told me that they needed 15 additional minutes to prepare the boba. I brightly waited. All in all, after the 15 minute wait, the drink took an additional 10 minutes before being ready. As mentioned, I ordered the Boba Bear Set ($8.50). CUTE!!! It's a very aesthetic and memorable presentation. The boba pearls came perfect; they're bouncy, perky, and playful. The brown sugar milk tea mixed with the caramel foam tasted honey-like. It's very TASTY! My biggest nitpick is that the amount felt tiny. Still, it's a wonderful memory that I'm so happy to experience! On ambiance, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) is comfortable and clean. There's about 13 interior tables, and there's six patio tables. The music is slow-tempo, and the tall ceiling made it feel spacious. In addition, Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) has utility. There's customer internet with password; details are available on the QR code menu. There's also about four electrical outlets. I also appreciated the self-service water station. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. Hide Out Cafe (Rowland Heights) felt very hidden yet well-maintained. It's a lovely spot. Overall, I had a magical, memorable experience. I discovered AMAZING milk tea and many precious memories. If searching for someplace special, I happily recommend. 4.9 out of 5

And even better if you're in the mood for some good homey Korean food as if it were cooked by your very own halmeoni (Korean for grandmother). I love that the menu is huge with pictures on the wall. Makes for easy ordering with or without language barrier. I also love that they still serve barley tea as well as water. We ordered cold noodles and LA kalbi combo. The banchan was so good. Good quality kimchi. The cold noodles were so flavorful and perfectly chewy. The broth was refreshing. The LA kalbi is hard to mess up and was delicious as expected. Everything was reasonable priced and delicious. Would come back after grocery shopping errands.

This was my first time having breakfast at this location. Compared to other branches, this one…read moredidn't taste as good. Many nearby Hong Kong-style restaurants have special deals, which makes this place feel overpriced for what you get. This plaza is usually very crowded, and it's hard to find parking. The parking spaces are also small, so I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, but people often smoke outside, and the smell keeps drifting inside, which greatly reduces the enjoyment of the food. Hong Kong-style breakfasts are mostly similar everywhere. The stir-fried noodles here were a bit hard and too salty, and the noodle soup portions are small, more suitable for people with a small appetite. Service at Hong Kong-style restaurants is usually fast-paced, so don't expect the kind of hospitality and greetings you would get at Western-style restaurants. Overall, there are many nearby restaurants with better value for money, and with the difficult parking, I'm very unlikely to come back.

The flavor of the soondubu is so savory and umami, it hits all the right notes that a certain other big soondbu chain doesn't. They don't skimp out on the banchan (side dishes) either.

There's a lot of parking in the plaza so no stress there either.

The restaurant is smaller but plenty of tables and seating! We ordered the crispy pares overload and the lechon kawali plate.

The taste, the flavor, portions and extra sauces, soup and rice. You can ask for extra and they will give it to you! Lechon kawali was delicious and it was my boyfriend's first time trying it and he loved it! Garlic rice wasn't bad, soup on the side was awesome and had great flavor and the overload was definitely more than enough to share!! We will definitely visit again! Thank you, Helen's Kitchen!!

We were out running errands on a Saturday nearby and decided to check this place out based on the…read morereviews. The parking lot had an interesting shape but it wasn't hard for us to find parking. We were seated quickly and we ordered a variety of foods. I had the Crispy Pares, my partner got the the Beef Pares and my in-laws split the Lechon and Sisig. We also tried their Calamansi and Mango juices and a Halo Halo for dessert. Overall, it wasn't bad but nothing here really stood out to me. If I'm honest, the home cooking of my in-laws (who are Filipino from the Philippines) tastes better. For me, the beef broth was super oily and the garlic rice smelled like garlic but didn't taste like anything. The crispy pork was both super crunchy (which I like) but also tough (the meat that is). I don't try the Sisig but I could hear my MIL muttering in Tagalog and I'm pretty sure thy were not kind words about the Sisig's flavor. Maybe the best items would have been in the overload upgrade but none of us were starving that we felt the need to try it out. Maybe next time? The juices were good though but the Halo Halo was a bit sad. It was like 92% ice cream, 4% rice crispy and corn flakes on top, 3% shaved ice, and 1% "other." I don't recall seeing any jellies, beans or fruit (though my partner said he saw ONE jelly. Last, I recognize this is a small family business and I support small businesses but as we say there eating, a few other tables exited and none of their tables were ever cleaned. It didn't really affect us but I was surprised that the staff was just chatting and on their phones for about 20 minutes and not bussing or clearing tables. It was slow at the time (as we were the last diners) but it was also kind of gross and as we were on our way out, I saw another group enter.
