All were delish. The dumplings were so good made with handmade dumpling wrapper having the perfect thickness and "chew" and the right proportion of meat filling. The big mouth pork pancakes was to die for. First bite was heaven... with the crispy sesame shao-bing outside and the pork filling inside. The chef definitely knows how to bake. The sesame Chinese pancake was out of the world with the layers of "man tou" like dough that was dense but not heavy and had a pleasantly chewy center. We had the dan dan noodles as well with the handmade thick noodles. The handmade noodles were al dente and had the perfect chew. The sauce was a bit sweet, but overall decent. Def will be back the next time I have a dumpling craving.

As I bit into each dumpling, juices dribbled down my lip. The filling tasted sweet & savory. YUM! I arrived at Manduyo (San Gabriel) on a Tuesday (around 6:54PM). Parking is very easy. The parking lot is very spacious and big. Staff interaction is minimum. Customers primarily order at the self-service kiosk. Customers can input their cell number or wait for Staff to call out their receipt's number. I really appreciated how the self-service kiosk with print out paper receipts. My food took about seven minutes. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Beef Bulgogi Dumplings ($8.50 - 6 Pieces). It was fried perfectly, and the filling was satisfying & plump. Its interior reminded me of a lightly sweetened bulgogi sausage. It was prepared well. On ambiance, there's plenty of clean tables and comfortable seating. It's located inside the well-managed Blossom Market Hall, so I felt safe and comfortable as I dined. Overall, Manduyo (San Gabriel) is a good option. I left happy and satisfied. 4.7 out of 5

As a Southern California Filipina, born and raised in San Diego, and with a chef for a father, I have had the pleasure of trying various styles of kare-kare. Alongside the kare-kare, the bagoong (cooked shrimp paste) is equally important. I wouldn't even consider eating kare-kare without bagoong. If the bagoong is not up to par, the kare-kare is not as satisfying. This was my very first experience with Crispy Kare-Kare, and I am definitely planning to return to Almuchow to savor one of my favorite Filipino dishes again. Bagoong is an acquired taste. My husband dislikes its aroma and flavor, which is why he doesn't particularly enjoy kare-kare. The quality of the kare-kare is intrinsically linked to the bagoong. If the bagoong is not prepared correctly, it can diminish the entire dish. I am definitely looking forward to returning for their Crispy Kare-Kare!

The flavors brought me right back to Manila--it honestly felt like having a taste of home again! The portions were satisfying, and everything was enjoyable. The only small thing I would mention is that the calamansi juice was a little watered down and could have had a stronger calamansi flavor. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try more dishes. Highly recommended if you're craving authentic Filipino comfort food!

The rice didn't taste like anything and the shrimp hadn't been deveined. Although it's not necessary to devein the shrimp since once cooked the bacteria dies, it was still kind of gross.

I…read morewas specifically looking for authentic HK-style food and had actually looked at a few of the more well-known Hong Kong cafés around SGV, but I liked this menu much more. I was texting with Ivy before the party and she was so easy to work with. She was even willing to customize some things for us, and the prices were very reasonable. They also delivered all the way to La Cañada, which was a huge help. The food was honestly so good and everyone at the party loved it. You can tell there's a lot of care put into how everything is prepared. The corn fish was one of my favorites, the sauce came separately so the fish stayed crispy, it wasn't overly breaded, and it didn't get soggy. The pork chop was really juicy and tender. The curry fish balls tasted super authentic, and the Swiss chicken wings and hand-shredded chicken were both marinated really well and had a lot of flavor. I've had food from a lot of HK cafés around the area and I actually think this was better than many of the bigger, more well-known ones. It just felt more carefully made and thought out. Ivy was amazing throughout the whole process too. Really happy to support a mom-owned small business, and I would definitely order from them again for another party.

The eel-to-rice-to-sauce ratio was perfect. Salmon Crunch Roll: Super filling and delicious! They definitely don't skimp on the ingredients. Combo C: 10/10! All the sashimi was great, but the salmon was especially fresh, thick-cut, and melted in my mouth. Generous portions and amazing value for the price! I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu because it was just THAT good. Highly, highly recommend!

When I say this place serves fresh salmon (even though I know salmon is flash frozen), I mean it. It's fresh! The nigiri also came with a side of wasabi, ginger, and soy sauce. Because everything is expensive in LA, I think the price-to-taste ration was great. This spot is located in a market hall with lots of available seating and has a private parking lot.

You just have to find what you want, they do have a decent offering of veggie options too but if you like meat they have lots of meat options, like curry chicken, shanghai lion head, kung pao, etc. Don't have too high expectations, just go in hungry and you will be satisfied.

They have around 20 to 25 items to choose from, but a lot of them seem pretty similar in style. I ended up getting Chinese chives, vermicelli, pork wrapped in tofu skin, and some kind of pork chop. The food was a bit on the salty side and pretty greasy overall. The free milk tea was watered down and sweet, but hey, free is free. The lady working there was nice though and gave generous portions. Overall it was just okay for me. The price is definitely good, I paid under $15 for a 4 item combo which is a solid deal for the amount of food. But with the saltiness and greasiness, I don't really see myself coming back.
