Thursday dinner JUL2026
Franklin M.

My mother is visiting from out of town and she loves Chinese food especially the fried rice. There are so many options in the SGV so you have to pick and choose which one to go to. The four of us came here for dinner and ordered kung pao chicken, ten pork dumplings, shrimp fried rice, pot of tea, steamed rice, and red bean pancake for desert. They bring out boiled peanuts for an appetizer which were really good. My mother said this was her favorite place and loved the food. The entire meal with tip cost us 83 bucks.

We were so excited to have our reunion at this restaurant, the menu was amazing, we wanted to order and try so many things. There were so many classic Chinese Shanghainese dishes that's hard to find elsewhere these days. Unfortunately, when we got the dishes, they were just so so. The dishes all tasted fine but either not exactly the right color or the right taste that we'd expect. I think it's fine as an ordinary Chinese restaurant but we were a bit disappointed as we were hoping for the first class Shanghainese cuisine.

Steam chicken
Aileen H.

My family have been coming here ever since it opened almost 15 years ago. The food used to be REALLY REALLY good. The food is still good but a bit more of a hit or miss. For this Lunar New Year, we booked the private room for 2 hours and ordered many dishes. I will highlight the dishes I liked: spicy eggplant, lotus leaf wrapped pork rib with sticky rice (this is one of their specialities), their braised pork (Dung Pao Pork) is famous, Kung pao chicken and I also liked their taro dessert (eight treasure taro dessert). The inside is a bit dated and not your traditional large Chinese restaurant. Service was fine.

This place is very nice they have lunch specials which makes it a little bit less pricey support small businesses this restaurant has been operating for a while but I know of and they have a couple of signature dishes that I highly recommend to order they can accommodate groups of all sizes they even have separate party room if you would like to reserve larger groups

Wine chicken
Maria L.

I haven't been to this restaurant in awhile. I used to come here more often. The last time I was here, the food did not taste as good as before. I decided to come here again to see if the food tastes better or worst from my last visit. I ordered the following: (1) Shoyu Meat Balls (2) Wine chicken (3) Garlic fish sauce egg plants All three dishes tasted average. Not bad but not particularly good. The wine chicken could use more wine taste. Prices were good. Service was average.

I love coming here for some comfort Chinese food. The food is consistently good and the staff is always friendly. It's a solid go-to for me when I'm craving some Chinese food! I really like their meatballs. Great flavor, comes with some napa cabbage, and pairs really well with some rice. The bean curd stir fry is also one of my favorites (although fyi it's slightly on the oily side). Portion sizes are generous too. I always leave happily stuffed. The staff is super nice and the wait is usually not too long. Def recommend checking this place out!

I think to judge a place based on two dishes isn't fair. But I'm usually one to finish all my food whether I like it or not. And today I didn't finish.... I just couldn't complete. Just came back from my trip to Norfolk Virginia, and I decided rather than going to my usual spot Corner Beef Noodle Soup down in El Monte and Ramona, I decided to check out Changs Garden. 唉... Hear me out the menu looks exciting, I'm sure if I we're to order some Hangzhou style stir fry cuisine, I may be very well impressed, but I decided to go with simplicity. Their beef noodle soup had fairly good feedback, so I went for an order. And of course, might as well order some Xiao Long Bao while I'm at it. Ok. In my honest opinion. I'm not a fan of the noodle soup. I feel, this is what was served by Mr. Dragon 30 years ago in the Hong Kong Supermarket on Colima Rd and Fullerton Ave, and even back then I was never really impressed by Mr Dragon other than from what I remembered...the food was working class and fed single household parents and their children. You get what you pay for. And I think a restaurant in a neighborhood like Arcadia, if you are gonna advertise top notch beef noodle soup, it should live up to a certain level of expectations. The Xiao Long Baos tasted maybe a level better than 99ranch Frozen Xiao Long Bao. So both dishes would not be something I'd come back and order again. I've seen Chang's Garden in this plaza over the decade and just never decided to give it a go. Usually back then, we'd come out here to go to Sin Ba La. But like I said, judging this restaurant based on two dishes isn't fair. And so I'm going to order two more items to go: Beef Rolls, and Sweet Soy sauce chicken stir fry, Chang's Stir Fry, Leeks and Smoked Pork Belly. And maybe give a second opinion the next time I visit.

Stewed beef noodle soup
Mary L.

We went for late lunch here: sauteed shrimp, xiao Lund bao, stewed beef noodle soup and soybean sauce tilipia. Food came out fine: love the Xiao Lund Bao with just right skin thickness and flavoring of the filling, the beef noodles tasted great, the shrimp very tender. The fish took some use to get used to but soon I loved the sauce. This is a place to get something close to Shanghainese food as most Shanghainese places seem to have closed nowadays.

Stirfry greens
Aki T.

We finally had the Pork! One of their favorite dishes! It was tender and juice, but was missing soy sauce flavor and sweetness; Cucumber was very good, sweet, tangy and crunchy; Chicken was a bit disappointing, the meat wasn't taste like cage-free chicken, and we didn't expect it was a warm dish; Steam soup dumplings went ok; Tofu dish was the best one for me on that day! Green beans with four-skin was good too; Candied walnuts with shrimp was normal. Dishes came out very quick. The server was friendly. It is a good place for family and friends to go, and you could find a parking spot pretty easy.

Interesting Decor!!! First time here and very excited.
Monique W.

Family oriented, great food and fantastic service. The quality and service made it a great experience and will return. Recommended by a friend.

This is one of the quiet old restaurant in town. It has been there quite some time. As asian restaurant, service always swift, we ordered tea and quite amazed with iron tea pot served. sweet and sour pork was while fried fish was stealing the show!I can eat this just with white rice and without anything else. The place design for large number of diner since they have the round table with lazy susan. Will definitely come back for the fish and other dishes to try!

Kung Pao Shrimp, Beef & Chicken
Emily J.

Overall - 9/10 - This has been a restaurant that I have gone to since I was young. They use to be in San Gabriel location before moving here to Arcadia. This is a local restaurant near my parent's place and my hometown. Their food has always been good and they have a great selection of pretty authentic Chinese food for any taste. The restaurant has decent parking because in a plaza with decent parking. It sometimes can get crowded during lunch hours. Food - We ordered a variety of dishes. I love the Pineapple Shrimp. It is similar to the popular Walnut Shrimp dish except that they use pineapple instead of walnuts making it less heavy. I enjoy the thinly bettered shrimp and the light flavor. They don't overly use the mayo. Also, I like kung pao 3 way with the shrimp, chicken, and beef. I love the flavor of the dish and the variety of protein used. The last dish ordered is the spicy black bean fish fillet. It was a nice balance of salty and spicy. It is overall a good dish for those who like fish. Overall all the dishes that we have ordered from here were all pretty good. Overall Experience - This is a Chinese restaurant that I would return to again. It has a wide selection of food and now they have lunch specials and dinner specials 7 days a week.

Chrysanthemum tea and soaked peanuts! Yummy! Loves the kettle.
Melinda B.

I had a really nice time here and the food was pretty tasty. The service was good and the servers were nice. I liked that they offered a couple tea options to pick from. I chose chrysanthemum. Although, a tea kettle is not complimentary, it's $5. I really liked their tea pot. I think it was made of iron. It was heavy and really well made. I tried the hot and sour soup. It was delicious with lots of mushroom, bamboo and pork. I tried the sweet lotus and that was pretty good, not too sweet. I always love the chewy texture or lotus. Then I tried the shoyu meatballs. They were huge! And sooo soft! I'd never had a meatball that broke apart like biting into a snowball. I added white pepper abs soy sauce to the soup and meatballs and I enjaules everything. I would return to try other things!

I met a friend here for dinner and had a great dine-in experience. We both ordered their "Original Nagoya Mazesoba" $15.29 and got their Karaage $8.99 to share. It was my first time here and I figured the famous original dish is always good. The noodles are thick, and all of the strands had their own little bounce to them, just the way I like it! It arrives unmixed so I also enjoyed vigorously mixing it myself and seeing it all come together. I especially enjoyed popping the poached egg on top and seeing the egg oooozing, paired with the minced pork, green onions, chives, dish powder, seaweed, and garlic. They have really perfected the recipe here to make the perfect dry noodle dish! If you dine in, the servers will also bring you a scoop of rice. I didn't really understand it at first as to why, but I later finished my noodles and thought "oooohhhhhh!" FYI the rice is used to pick up the rest of the delicious sauce left on the bottom of your bowl and it makes for an extra carb-filled surprise. The perfect way to end a noodle dish by the way, with rice for more carbs, duh! My only feedback, and I was indeed warned by my friend, is that the noodles make you a little thirsty. My friend told me she thinks its their fish powder seasoning that somehow makes you just feel like you need to chug a glass of water, so just make sure to bring a little extra water with you, haha! Also, fair warning here since you made it this far to reading this long review. The seats were very loud to move around in the dining area, and we can just about hear every squeak the metal chair made when anyone moved their seat, too! Other than those things, the noodles are a life I've already been raving about Menya Hanabi to my friends and will definitely come back!

Ambiance is nice with shades drawn over the windows and strong AC. There's bar and table seating. I got the deluxe mazesoba ($18) which comes with charsiu, minced pork, poached egg, and green onions. There's a good amount of chewy thick noodles underneath. Very flavorful- so much so that I recommend adding vinegar to lessen the greasy taste. Upon request, you can get a free scoop of rice to mix into the leftover sauce. I remember they used to give a full bowl but now it's just a scoop.

Saw the red bold letters driving by on Duarte Rd and immediately made plans to come here for Xi'an…read morefood! We don't usually see specific Xi'an food around all the time, so my fiancé and I were excited to come back. Now we know, Xi'an Foodie has delicious, authentic Xi'an food here at affordable prices as well. We go all out when we are trying somewhere new for the first time usually, so we got 5 dishes for less than $75 including tax and tip. We ordered the 1) Smashed Cucumber Salad 黄瓜, 2) Sesame Sauce Cold Spicy Noodle 凉拌辣面, 3) Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍, 4) Li Lao San's Cumin Lamb Hamburger / 李老三孜然羊汉堡, and 5) Youpo Noodles with Braised Beef Brisket, Beef Paste & Fried Eggs with Tomato / 油泼+三合一. First, they have the best Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) in SoCal that I've had - they are amazingly chewy and wide, and their tangy savory sauce is the best. When I think about liangpi, I'm definitely going to Xi'an food for another slurp of these noodles mmmm! I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful. They brought all of our dishes out in less than 10 minutes and our whole table was filled. We ordered way too much food, and we know it, so we got to take it all home to enjoy for another meal. We will definitely be coming back for their lamb stew, liang pi, and wide noodles!

Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.
