We came around dinner time on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all, but it did take a while for the food to come out. We got the steamed spareribs, truffle shu mai, pork and taro shu mai, fried mochi with pork, sticky rice, and salted egg yolk mochi. I loved absolutely everything so much! Flavors were spot on, textures were amazing, and they were also really unique. I loved the truffle flavor on the shu mai, and the ham sui gok was done so well here too. I'm a huge salted egg yolk fan, and they did the mochi ball here perfectly too. I want to come back soon!!

Went here planning to have dim sum for lunch, but saw they had Peking duck on the menu. I'm a big…read morefan of Peking duck and ordered the whole instead of half. In hindsight, I should have realized that a Cantonese restaurant wouldn't likely get this dish right. The "Peking duck" at Triumph Valley was actually Hong Kong style roast duck. A plate came out with the duck skin. The duck meat was nowhere on this plate. Traditionally, Peking duck meat is served in thin slices and layered under the duck skin. A large bowl was set on the table. There it was, chopped through the bone into chunks with skin, meat, and bone intact. This is a signature style of serving Hong Kong roast duck. Unsurprisingly, the flavor was not pure, natural duck flavor. Instead, it tasted of Hong Kong style with 5 spice seasoning including star anise. It was also a pain to eat because of this poor carving style. Triumph Valley didn't use the traditional thin wraps either, opting for easier steamed bao buns. Thin pancakes are the traditional choice because their light, paper-thin texture doesn't overpower the crispness and rich fat of the duck skin. Triumph Valley used bao buns because they are easier to source (frequently purchased frozen) and are simpler for kitchens to prep than handmade pancakes. Big waste of $50. Avoid the "Peking duck" if choosing to dine at this Hong Kong restaurant because it is falsely advertised there and will leave you disappointed if you have experience with actual Peking duck and appreciate its natural flavors.

It is located in the Great Wall Shopping Mall in Kent. I recommend entering on the left side( when you're looking at the maib entrance for the mall) doors, as youll see it on your right side. Just look for the lit up red letters. The store itself isn't big, so just be aware as they can get pretty busy. Once inside you'll see fresh veggies, meats and other toppings on the right side. But don't get too carried away, because they do weigh it by the pound and it can add up fast and you'll have the modt expensive malatang ever. Haha. If you have a severe nut or seasame allergy, this place is not for you since they use all of the above. They do advise if you have an allergy to let them know. Its also noted that they use milk in their sous so be aware. They did add a tomato based soup, but there wasnt much details on if they still included the nuts and milk, so please confirm with the staff. I love spicy so I got it spicy, but to me it wasn't but to the rest of the crew, they were sweating. And the staff does advise not to get it if you cant do spicy. If you like pork, the crew got the sweet and sour pork. Its different from other spots since the pork is flattened out. And they said it has a nice crunch and taste. They do have drinks available for purchase from soda to asian teas thats to the right of the register. Service was good, the staff was friendly and nice!

I've always walked by this place and wanted to give it a try…read more Sadly, this is yet another restaurant in this area that uses full strength industrial cleaner on their tables. The smell is overpowering. 80%-90% of taste is based on smell. All I could smell was chemical cleaner and could barely taste the food. When the bus person passed by me, the smell was even worse because of the cleaner soaked rag. He was spraying it straight out of the bottle so it was full strength, not diluted. I'm pretty sure if you read the instructions on any harsh chemical like that (I think this was ZEP, by the dark purple color), instructions are to dilute it and to rinse or wipe off with water. I've very sure they do neither here. You shouldn't be using any kind of smelly, harsh chemcial to clean tables in a restaurant. Quat santizer doesn't smell and is the standard practice. Whoever is selling ZEP in this area is making a killing apparently. (I can't dine in at Triumph Valley for the same reason). Harsh chemicals shouldn't be anywhere near food. Think about that when you rescue a wayward dumpling when it bounces onto the table. yuck. Having said that, I expected the beef noodles soup to be more flavorful. The broth was just okay, not as deeply flavored as I would've expected. And the meat was just barely tender enough, but not that impressive either. Fried spring rolls were very oily and the filling was severely overcooked. Complete mush. Not good. I wish I could say better things, but I barely finished half my meal because of the chemical smell. $14.99 for beef noodle soup is a good deal if you can actually taste it. $6.25 not a good deal for mushy, oily spring rolls.

I can't recall the exact cuts we chose, but they were all so delicious! You get butter to grill with it. The kimchi was not too fresh nor too fermented. One of our party is allergic to shellfish the staff were so accommodating to her allergy, making sure to clearly separate anything that could have been cross-contaminated and communicating clearly to us all. We were checked on the perfect amount of times and when we ordered dessert, both the yuzu and matcha cheesecakes were delicious + this amazing ice cream like dish with some brown powdered stuff on top? Maybe it was injeolmi ice cream? It was so delicious I ate 3 out of the 4 containers of it since everyone else was so full. The thing that got me the most was the kindness and sincerity in our waitresses eyes! I wish I remembered her name, but you'll know when you see her! Pretty, sweet, and just genuinely compassion and care oozing from her face. Would highly recommend this place to anyone craving high quality Korean food with excellent service!

The bench was higher from the table, so sitting was somewhat uncomfortable if you were on the bench side. Ask for the other side of the tables if possible. I enjoyed that the grills had the fan all around the grills so that it pulls the smoke automatically. I liked how you didn't have to worry about smelling like bbq after you left the restaurant so that is a plus! Our group ordered the premium butcher feast ($155) and ordered a couple of appetizers and sides on the HH menu. All of that and it was plenty of food to feed all of us. We got the Wagyu chuck roll steak, marinated Wagyu rib finger, marinated prime zabuton and pork Jowl for the table. I really enjoyed the pork jowl. It was very soft and buttery. Overall, quality of the food was really good and would recommend.

A thin crisp crust, falling off the bone tender lamb with a nice amount of fat. It's served with a salty spicy dry rub that adds more texture with each bite. The raw sliced onions, not something you'll see with western cuisine, but a staple served with mughlai kebabs in other parts of the world provide sweetness and additional crunch. The lamb buns were great. Unlike most buns or patties or quiche which usually have ground lamb, these had tiny cubes, along with potatoes. Just needed some hot sauce to unlock flavors for me. The lamb soup with noodles was light and super flavorful. Great for a winter afternoon. Service was nice. The place is inside the same mall which houses Ranch Market and is clean with nice comfy seating. Will I return: Definitely

Hand pulled wide noodles - These are on-point, especially after the sad and soft ones at Dough Zone. So much texture and the amount of umami they soak up from the juices of the stir fry is brain melting. Naan - They're definitely good, but these are.....sooooooooo dense and filling. As an analogy, if bread -- bagel, then Indian curry naan -- this naan. Honestly, these aren't my favorite, but I can't fault the taste or quality at all. Soup - Oh yeah, this was also perfect with the bread. At a glance, it reminds me a bit of pho broth, but you'll forget once the lamb flavor in it hits like a truck.
