    Delicious cantonese dishes!!
    Darrel K.

    I honestly can't remember the last time I actually sat down and dined at a restaurant in Alhambra since moving to DTLA, but I really miss it. A good pal of mine took me to this spot on Valley Blvd, and it was surprisingly very good.. plus, the prices were super reasonable. We ordered the house special fried rice, spicy spare ribs, and century egg congee. It was so good that I went back the very next day for takeout!!

    The fried chicken with soysauce is the star at this place! The chicken is fried perfectly with crispy skin but not dry inside. The chicken lays on top of soysauce with some green onions. The next best thing is the beef chow fun.

    Sweet and sour pork
    Selene S.

    Came here for dinner this time and they were still pretty bustling around 7pm. There is plenty of parking outside. We were seated right away and they got us hot water. Their AC was on kind of high at the booths so I was freezing a bit and it also made the food turn cold fast. We ordered 3 dishes for 3 people and ate it family style. - Honey walnut shrimp ($21.95): good portion. The shrimp was nice and crispy with the perfect sweetness from the mayo (5/5) - Sweet and sour pork ($15.95): bite sized pieces of pork that can be kind of hard to chew depending on the piece. Sweet and sour sauce was on point (3/5) - Scallop mushroom crispy tofu ($17.50): good portion with soft tofu once you bite into the crispy exterior and paired deliciously with the thick savory sauce (5/5)

    Small, more casual version of Chinese banquet style restaurant with a million menu options. Their food is pretty decent and at a reasonable price. Service is not great but not terrible either. They only have a few lazy-susan tables, so if you want more of that banquet style experience you can try reserving in advance. Food: Fish fillets with broccoli - Honestly could not find this on the menu, just showed the waiter a Yelp picture and he went oh yeah sure. On the milder side, felt like a decently healthy option. Fish was cooked well, not overdone. Crispy pork chop - Delicious, full of umami, and perfectly crisp battered pork chop pieces; tastes exactly like those of similar restaurants. Seafood and mushroom soup - Good, deep flavor and good texture from seafood chunks and egg white ribbons. Comes with shrimp and some fish pieces and veggies. Not quite a clear broth type of situation, likely thickened with something for a silkier mouth feel. Scallop and crab egg white fried rice - Very good, one of the better renditions I've had. It had a great seafood flavor as I believe they were a little more generous with the dried scallop pieces. Stir fried Chinese broccoli - Well executed, stalks were still nice and crisp, and lots of flavor from the bits of dried fish that are tossed with it. One of my favorite dishes we ordered. Beef chow fun - A little lacking in flavor, and the beef was not very tender. Overall there's nothing that really stands out, no flavor highlights and gets old very fast. I think I would get a different noodle dish next time.

    #170: Sautéed On Choy with Garlic
    Carol M.

    11/01/2025: heeey Yelp, why only 3.4 stars for this amazing establishment?!? Our first time here, and I think we have chosen tonight's destination well! The interior dining room is absolutely PACKED and the outside patio is at capacity as well! Game 7 of the World Series probably doesn't hurt, they have the game on their screens. The wait wasn't bad at all, they quoted 20 minutes and it was only about 10 before we were seated. We noticed that my husband was the only non-Asian in the entire restaurant and I'm likely the only half-Asian... always a good sign when looking for truly authentic cuisine! IYKYK The dining room is bustling, the staff are hustling. The menu is extensive and Don says the experience is reminiscent of his business trips to Hong Kong. The aromas are heavenly, and I want to walk around from table to table with chopsticks in hand to sample absolutely everything! Under "Chef Recommendation", we ordered #1, House Special Crispy Chicken w/Stuffed Shrimp (half). Not exactly what we expected, but the skin was very crisp! We think maybe the shrimp is ground and formed with the chicken meat in to the skin? if served without knowing , you might think it was only chicken. Nice flavor and it's served with a plum sauce on the side. It could have used either a little more salt, or a second sauce option with perhaps vinegar, garlic and salt? Still good, but that would have elevated it to great! We also ordered #23, Deep Fried Squid with Spicy Salt. This was the star of our table! Perfectly crispy to the tooth, the calamari was tender, the batter is well seasoned and the fried scallions and garlic on top are (chef's kiss). For something green, #170 Sautéed On Choy with Garlic. Well executed, tender with just a little toothsome bite to the hollow stems. Plenty of garlic and a generous portion! note to self: Next time I'll branch out and try the versions with either the Spicy Bean Curd Sauce or the Salty Shrimp Paste. The service is fast. SO very fast! A little challenging to ask questions about the menu if you don't speak Chinese, but hey - I'm in their space! I see some have accused them of being unfriendly, but I didn't find that at all. They were all very attentive and kind! Needless to say, they've earned a bookmark from me and we will be back. I'd love to come with a larger group of 5 or more to take advantage of the big round tables with the Lazy Susan centers.

    Came here around 7pm on a Saturday for dinner with some friends. They were busy when we came in but luckily we didn't have to wait for a table. They many tables instead as well as outside patio seating. We were seated at a booth but it was right under the air conditoner vent so it was cold while we ate. They have restrooms here and it was actually pretty clean. It is a bit loud inside but it didn't bother me too much. Their menu has English and Chinese which is convenient. We ordered the Sweet Sour Pork (15.95), Scallop Mushroom Crispy Tofu (17.50), and the Walnut Shrimp (21.95). We also got the egg waffle (6.95) for to-go. The servers here speak Mandarin and Cantonese but I think you can easily get away ordering by pointing at the menu or using English. The server was pretty nice and came to take our order fast. We got hot water and ordered rice (4.50 per bowl), but the rice portion is pretty big since they didn't serve them in a bowl but the big red rice container. The dishes were served pretty fast which was good since we were starving. The walnut shrimp was nicely fried and had good amount of mayonnaise that didn't feel greasy. The crispy tofu was my favorite though since it is the soft tofu with perfectly fried crispy skin. The sweet and sour pork was just okay though, but it was nice that it didn't have bones. The portion for all three were reasonable for the price and the economy. The service is also great because they actually help pack your leftovers for you. Overall, this a great choice for Cantonese homestyle food to eat with family or friends. I will visit again. Would recommend!

    The food here is perfect. Place is not fancy but pleasant and cheerful. Service is so fast. It took less than 5 minutes for our food to arrive in bulk. 3 batches. This is my mom's favorite restaurant so even if it is far from us we don't mind driving. It is absolutely worth it.

    Fried chicken with green onions and soy sauce

    Several reviewers have suggested the Fried chicken with green onions and soy sauce. Yeah, it really is that good. It's a half chicken with plump, juicy, tender pieces, each with a thin, crispy skin. The soy sauce seasons it perfectly. It comes with rice, and for such a generous amount of protein, very reasonably priced. Service is prompt and friendly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and indoor seating is spacious.

    I've had this place bookmarked in my Yelp app for a long time, and I finally happened to be in the area, so I was like, OK let me stop in. I went in and placed an order for their chicken wings, which come with a generous container of rice and a drink. It was very reasonably priced--you get about 10 wings, and everything was under $15. I'll post a picture of what my receipt looked like. The chicken itself was pretty good. In my opinion, it could've been cooked just a little bit longer. The outside was very crunchy, but the inside wasn't quite as done as I would've liked. If they had kept it down for another 2-3 minutes, I probably would've loved it. I ate a couple of pieces on my drive back home which was about 45 minutes and once I got home, I just popped the rest in the oven to cook it a bit more. That said, the service was really great, and they were super busy. I think I went in about 10 minutes after they opened and still waited around 20 minutes for my food, which was totally fine. By the time I left, the entire parking lot was full, and the dining room was packed. I waited in my car, and it was probably around 11:30-11:40 by the time I got my food. Honestly, that speaks volumes for a restaurant to be that busy within the first 30 minutes of opening. One thing to note: they don't take Apple Pay. It's cash, Visa, or MasterCard only. They also don't take Discover, and I'm assuming they probably don't take American Express either likely because of the fees.

    We had lunch here today with a party of 15. They have a small private parking lot. It was busy at 12:30. Food was mostly good. Rating: Solid three Stars.

    DiamondLee R.

    The place was really dirty and rundown. And people on the patio were really noisy and they were smoky and it was disgusting . Some of the food was good. I really didn't like the eggplant but most of it tasted the same. The only thing I did enjoy was the walnut shrimp and the green beans, fish egg drop soup. Really fish taste. So if u don't like that I wouldn't eat it.

    Walnut shrimp
    Terrence S.

    Solid place for southern Chinese/Hong Kong food, they have all the standard dishes such as kung pao chicken, steamed vegetables, fish and shrimp. I like the walnut shrimp here, it's so big and juicy and there's a good quantity, along with walnuts The eggplant and fish hot pot also has got good flavor, full of garlic Service is pretty good, but like most Chinese places, is better if you know Cantonese. Sometimes can get pretty crowded here, and there's sometimes a lot of smokers sitting outdoors

    Martina T.

    Free parking. Fried whole fish was very good, fresh, crispy and flavorful. I didn't like the eggplant in the hot pot dish, too salty and not a hit. Noodles were delicious. Many options available on their menu. Booths and family tables with lazy Susan available. Good option for some Chinese food. Food comes out quickly.

The beef loc lac was tough, deep fried fish sauce tasted weird with their sweet sour sauce, pea sprouts which I was trying to change to another dish but couldn't, sure enough was so fibrous & chewy.

    I had a great experience at this small dim sum restaurant. It was refreshing to see as most dim sum…read moreplaces I've been to are in large banquet halls. Shoutout to David for being so personable, friendly, and helpful. He really made the atmosphere so lively. My favorites were the beef balls, ha gow and shu mai. Everything seemed like they were made to order besides a few things like the turnip cake and the cha siu bao (looked like they were under heat lamps near the register). Food came out quickly after ordering. The line was a bit long (30 min wait) on a Saturday at 1pm, but wasn't that bad because we stayed under the shade of the building. I really hope they open up a location in OC!

    Gotta say the last two times we've been have been a miss. One visit was just alright. The portions…read morefelt a lot smaller. The last time we went it was really bad. The man guy wasn't there either time and mane that's why? The women that were working really wrecked it for us. The turnip cake was cold and rubbery. We asked for a fresh one and the lady pointed at the dish and said "ye we just make". Bold face lie. I've eaten 10 of these over my visits and these were definitely not fresh. The potstickers were HALF the size they were from my first many visits. The shumai was so rubbery and warm. We didn't make it past one bite. The broccoli was fresh and tasted good. I'm not sure if we will be back. The last two times were so disappointing.

    We come here for the low price wonton noodles, steamed spareribs on steamed rice, and the beef rice…read morenoodle rolls. We also order their HK style lemon iced tea. It's pretty good here and they have complimentary refills! They're known for their rice noodle rolls here and you can order them, along with their small dim sum menu, all day long. The wonton noodles here were just $13.98! They come with 5 large wontons and vegetables over wonton noodles. I always recommend adding chili oil. The steamed spareribs on steamed rice have some bones, just like the ones you find at dim sum. But there's a lot of meat in the steamed rice bowl for a single person. Free parking in rear parking lot. Entrance at the front on Garvey Ave. They have 2 entrances in front now. Left door for to-go orders and right door for dine-in.

    Searched randomly in yelp and found this place and this was absolutely a great choice…read more Parking is at the back of the building which is shared with the other establishments. The staff are great, communication wise, it was a good service. They don't hover around your table. They let you eat in peace then check back every now and then. We ordered several dishes and each and every one of them were tasty. We came before lunch hour so not sure how busy this place gets. Are we going back? Absolutely! This is on my list to go especially for a weekend out.
