Second time coming here and as a local from Whittier I'll be honest, I was skeptical at first. The…read moreDowney location didn't live up to the hype for me, felt like it was more about the banda vibe than the food. But this spot changed that. The tostada mixta had really solid savory flavor and the tacos sinaloense were on point. Definitely worth it if you're looking for both good food and a good vibe. Ambience was nice, good energy overall. Just heads up, parking can be rough. You can try Main Street or the lot if you get lucky. There is usually a waitlist too. Overall, I'll be coming back and can see this becoming a regular spot.

We really enjoyed the octopus tacos and the shrimp ceviche tostada - they give you extra tostadas and everything pairs perfectly with their draft beers! Veronica and the manager were very welcoming and accommodating considering it was our first time there! LOCATION: - Has a few tables inside and an outdoor patio with plenty of seating - really enjoyed the outdoor seating when it's good weather out! PARKING: - They have a small lot in the back with about 6 spots but plenty of street parking WAIT: -About a 20 min wait for a table for 3 on a Friday around 5 pm NOTES/DEALS: - They have social hour from 3-6 pm with discounts on drinks and draft beer! - Their paper menu is in Spanish but if you scan the QR code on the table or go on their website, they have it in Spanish + English!

By this time, we already new what we wanted to order so we placed the order together with the drinks. The server do apologize for the long wait, which I'm glad he acknowledged! After this everything went from 0 to 60 in no time! The beers came out iced cold, shortly after the fresh oysters, followed by the piping hot seasoned fries and calamari and finally the shrimp and clams... the best part of this entire experience was the piping HOT food, and everything was so GOOD! My husband and friend enjoyed the free fried Oreo with ice cream, nice touch, Stinking CF, nice touch ! I loved the HH items on the menu and the lunch specials, good to know. Although, the parking lot is small, we were able to find street parking. We will definitely return!

The service is always amazing. They do get sometimes busy and it's sometimes a 1 woman show taking the orders and giving the orders but she's a doll! There's probably at least 3 TVs playing sports. Go Dodgers! They have a wide variety of Dodger bobble heads and memorabilia all over it. Oh and there's also an outdoor area along with heaters!

Today was the second time we visited and were not even acknowledged when we arrived. The first time we waited for a little under 10 minutes without even a hello. We left! Today, i went back and asked for the wait time after having waited for 3 min without acknowledgment so I asked on the side and i got an ambiguous answer. When i asked for clarification ... nothing. I left. I am not sure that we will go back any time soon considering the myriad of alternatives around the area. Hopefully they can get different people in the front of the restaurant with at least a little more people skills. 2 stars as the food is good.

It was loud! Other than that issue, everything else was AMAZING, including the GREAT service offered by our waiter. Our waiter, Fernando was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Thank you for the tip-notch service. This was a very positive dining experience.

We ordered an asada torta and a shrimp burrito, and the food came out quickly (about 8 minutes), which was a plus. I'll be honest--the torta threw me off a bit. It had ham in it, which I wasn't expecting, and the flavor just felt a little unusual to me. I'm used to pastor having that classic red color and flavor, so this one didn't quite match what I had in mind. Overall, it was a fast and convenient stop, but the food didn't fully hit the mark for me personally.

My only hesitation with the food would be towards their steaks, which are often overcooked, dry and tend to be on the tougher side (despite me always ordering medium rare), so I do go elsewhere when I'm craving a tender, juicy steak. All their seafood, pasta, burger, and brunch dishes and desserts are top notch. Great beer selection, delicious wines and a couple of cocktail options. Definitely check it out if you're in Whittier!

We were…read moreable to call ahead earlier in the morning and ask if we could be on the wait list or reserve a table. They told us they could reserve a table for us at 6pm. We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Been looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant. Haven't been to one in a while. This place was…read morerecommended to us by a friend. Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.
