We had pretty good service and the staff answered questions about their food options. Plenty of seating inside if you'd like to dine in. We ordered two plates and the spring rolls. Fried rice: 4/5 The rice was pretty good but not like other places where there's egg & veggies. I feel like the lack of these ingredients made it a little plain. I think you could do either white rice or fried for a similar experience. Chow mein: 3/5 Pretty okay at the most. Isn't too overly greasy and not super long noodles. Not much to say about this item. Broccoli Beef: 3.5/5 Okay flavor, good amount of sauce. We appreciated that it wasn't too dry but the beef was chewy. Some pieces inedible. Orange Chicken: 4/5 Very tasty and the sauce had a good savory flavor. The right amount of crisp and not chewy. Would order again! Bbq Pork: 4/5 Very tasty but a little dry. I really liked that they included sauce on the side to add to your preference. Big pieces of meat though which made for a large portion. Would get again. Teriyaki chicken: 3/5 The chicken was ok.. had some tough pieces of skin so we had to remove. The chicken itself was nothing special, tasted like any other teriyaki chicken. Predictable and quick option if you want something local & fast. Spring rolls: 3/5 Good value and nice option for a quick lunch add on or side. While a little cold, it still had good texture & flavor. Would stop by for this again. Overall, it is a good spot if you're already in the area trying to find something quick. The portions are huge and will get you full, but it isn't the most flavorful takeout we've had. There are definitely other options in the area that can hit both flavor & quick pickup in one go. Unlikely to return unless I was in a rush for something fast.

Weekday lunch, pretty standard American Chinese type of restaurant with some old school options…read more This place is not about the ambiance or decor. Similar to other takeout places you get rice or noodles and protein. The orange chicken was crispy and hot with a light orange flavor. Cha siu was dry and pretty flavor less.

They were perfectly crispy on the outside, had lots of filling inside, and came with 6 big pieces. It also had a side of veggies and fish sauce, which I love using to wrap my egg rolls. The golden delight pho had rare meat and noodles to the side, while the other toppings came inside the sizzling pot of broth. It had lots of noodles and toppings: tripe, rare beef, tendon, meat balls, and brisket. Pho was really rich in flavor. I also loved that the sizzling pots kept the broth hot the whole time. Noodles were also very bouncy, loved the texture. Beef short ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. Although it was very busy during a Tuesday lunch hour, the waiters sat us asap. The restaurant was pretty full but the food still came out really quick. Servers were really nice and attentive. They checked on us a few times. The restaurant has lots of tables and it was clean. It gave an overall homey- atmosphere. I would definitely come here again. Pho is a great price for its quality!

Okay so I'll be the first to admit -- this place has been sitting right under my nose for who knows…read morehow long and somehow I never made it in. Honestly? Embarrassing. Moving on. So yeah, it's another Vietnamese spot in Rosemead. And before you say anything -- yes, it's a pho review. Again. Look, I don't make the rules, I just eat the soup. This place does something a little different though. Their thing is the earth stone bowl -- basically a heated stone bowl that keeps your broth stupid hot while all your toppings come on the side in separate little dishes. Cool concept, very extra, I respect the commitment. But here's the thing -- it was hot outside. Like uncomfortably, aggressively, why-am-I-outside hot. So sweating over a volcanic bowl of soup wasn't exactly on my agenda. I went with the regular bowl, picked two types of beef and tendon, and called it a day. First sip of the broth and I genuinely had to put the spoon down for a second. Not in a dramatic way -- just in a "okay, this is actually really good" kind of way. It holds up against every other spot I've been to, no question. But what got me was the flavor -- there's something subtle going on in there that's hard to put your finger on but impossible to ignore. The kind of broth that just works and doesn't need to explain itself. The toppings were solid, but the tendon was lowkey the highlight. Soft, chewy, not rubbery -- exactly what you want. Some places fumble the tendon. These guys didn't. Iced tea on the side, Saturday afternoon, nothing else going on -- honestly doesn't get much better than that. Should've come here sooner. My loss.

The speed at which our dishes came out was in lightning. I was aghast at how fast we were served…read moreall four entrees in the time span of a bathroom trip in the hallway. Like holy smokes, are the chefs on steroids back there? A salute to their efficiency and time management. Family ordered the Thai fried rice, house special fish fillet, pork chop with Peking sauce, and a tofu dish I do not know the name of. The fish fillet was most definitely running the show here. It was heavenly with every bite. My brother and I had to practically restrain ourselves from demolishing the entire plate. Another deep nod to the chef's magnificent craftsmanship. Order this for a taste of no regrets. The servers were absolutely amazing. For a typical Chinese restaurant, it is pretty standard to be served and for the most part ignored unless you needed something specific. However, the servers here were right in the middle of the horrendous lunch rush, and yet they still managed to carry out gestures that genuinely touched me- one of the waitresses waited at the door and held it open for us when my mom returned from the restroom because they could see that my mom had limited mobility. The guy serving us also made sure he was always giving her ample room to move around amidst all the chaos and commotion of the restaurant. Considering the tables and chairs are inches apart from each other too, we were pretty cramped. I asked another worker for utensils later on, and he was genuinely so sweet going about it, patient and smiling. Service here really warmed my heart, which was such a bonus. The setting was probably the most intriguing part. I am not familiar about the history of this particular location, but considering the walls in the hallway had old newspaper articles and images of the establishment from who knows how many decades ago, I would say it's teetering on the edge of being a museum in itself. Makes for a cool peek into history, but the run down building and yellowing, stained walls in the hallway might throw some people off who are looking to dine somewhere that has kept more in stride with modern times. This visit was fantastic from beginning to end, and all the small details really made everything come together into a wonderful synopsis of food, family, and a little extra kindness.

I've been coming to this establishment since it was still located in that small spot on San Gabriel…read moreand Valley, so it's disappointing to say that the quality of the food seems to have gone downhill over the years. The service is still great, the restaurant itself is decently clean and spacious. Sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standards I remember. Salt & Pepper Shrimp 3/10 - Poorly seasoned and lacking the crispiness I was expecting. The shrimp just didn't have much going for it. Mongolian Beef 4/10 - This was basically steamed beef with green onions. The dish lacked the caramelized, savory flavor I typically associate with Mongolian beef. Clams with Basil 5/10 - The flavor was decent, but the clams did not taste particularly fresh, which really took away from the dish. Pan-Fried Pork 2/10 - Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The pork didn't taste fresh, and the texture made it feel like it had been fried twice. The normally flavorful sauce it came with was also extremely bland. I'm actually very glad I came during lunch and paid lunch prices for these dishes. If I had paid dinner prices, I would have been extremely disappointed. The food from my previous visits weren't extraordinary, but at least it was "okay". However, after this visit, I have officially taken this restaurant off my rotation. I won't be returning.

Updating my review from many years ago. Initially I rated…read morethis place 3 stars, but over the years we have been regular patrons and have come to love Ji Rong inviting family and friends to celebrate special occasions. The Peking duck is still a stand out. Depending on the amount of people we love adding the signature crispy grouper with the sweet and chill or the short ribs. I love the Chengdu Style Green Bean Jelly. It's spicy numbing with a bit of tartness. They recently revamped their menu adding a lot of new things and their drinks list has grown substantially. Their grilled on the bone beef rib is excellent and new jellyfish appetizer has a wonderful crunch. We haven't tried every menu item because we always get at least one duck which takes up space but we are always aiming to try one new thing each time.

Given that this place is definitely on the higher end in terms of price, I was expecting the dishes to be a little more unique and exquisite. Peking Duck - 6/10 Pretty standard. The duck skin was crispy and fatty, which was good, but the actual meat was a little dry. The wrapper was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Crispy Walnut Shrimp - 8/10 By far the best dish of the meal. The shrimp was lightly battered but incredibly crispy, and the walnuts were excellent and complemented the shrimp really well. The sweet melon was questionable, though. I couldn't quite understand the appeal of adding fruit to this dish. Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - 7/10 The filling was definitely up there in terms of flavor and quality, but the wrapper was far too thick for my liking. A thinner wrapper would have made a big difference. Seared Honey Glazed Cod - 5/10 Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The fish was very fishy, the sear wasn't particularly impressive, and the sauce didn't pair well with the cod. There were also chestnuts and what I believe were shallots, neither of which I really cared for. Overall, it's a beautiful establishment with great service and very impressive presentation. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't quite match the appearance or the price point for me. The Crispy Walnut Shrimp was the standout, but the other dishes were more average than I expected.

I ordered take out from this place. It is my first time getting food here. I had the following…read moredishes: (1) steamed pork and leek dumplings: (3/5 stars). The skin has good thickness. The filling tasted good but the edges of some of the dumplings were dry. (2) Braised beef noodle soup (4.5/5 stars). Beef was tender and flavorful. Broth was also flavorful. I liked the noodles too but if the noodles were hand made and have a bit more chewiness to it, it would get a perfect score of 5/5 stars on my review. (3) Beef roll (5/5 stars). Delicious beef roll. It has a lot of beef filling. Everything was well seasoned. (4) Noodle with meat in brown sauce (3/5 stars). There was not enough sauce and it is under seasoned. Not very flavorful. Mediocre dish. (5) Popcorn chicken (4/5 stars). It has a nice taste. I think it would have tasted better if I was dining at the restaurant. Fried chicken usually doesn't taste as good on take outs. I enjoyed this take out meal. I would like to go back to dine at the restaurant to get a more accurate taste of their offerings.
