    A small little shop that sells pork jerky! I love this stuff so I was glad that San Gabriel Valley had something like this. You can order the jerky by pound and you have a different selection of meats flavors to choose from. I ordered the Black Pepper Jerky, the Original Jerky, as well as the Spicy Jerky as well. Oh, I also got the Bacon Jerky too. The first thing that really stood out was the tenderness of the meat. It's so good. It's savory, its salty, its sweet. You kinda have all of that encompassed into the jerky, and you also get a good bang for your buck for the amount you get which I think is worth it. The jerky isn't cheap either so don't expect it to be like $10 or less. You can order it by 1/4, 1/2, or a pound. Anyways, this stuff was really good and I recommend coming here!

    Now that I've finally visited Fragrant Jerky, there's no turning back. I've had it bookmarked forever and finally visited to share some with my family. This type of jerky is sweet, sticky, and savory. The spicy versions are subtle and build at the end. While I wanted to buy everything, we opted to try the spicy beef, pepper beef, soft pork, and spicy pork bacon. I have only opened and tried 2. But so far I'm happy! My family (reluctant to go initially) now want to return to take back a few bags as gifts from CA. We tried the following: Soft pork (5/5) the pork is sweet yet savory, and soft but not mushy Spicy pork bacon (5/5) if you like fatty pork, this one delivers. The spicy taste is not apparent until the end as it finishes spicy. This is a small shop that has only a glass case showcasing the various jerky options. All are sold by the 1/4 lb, 1/2 lb, 1 lb, and prices are clearly marked. You have the option of leaving pieces whole or have the jerky cut (except bacon types). I left the pieces whole because I prefer cutting it myself (with kitchen scissors). But now I'm curious how the cut version looks. Service is efficient. The jerky is packaged in resealable bags. It all looks very clean, neat, and presentable. Good for gifts. Parking is ample even though most stalls were taken. I'll definitely returning and will likely be back many times for myself and my family. LOCATION: 4/5 FOOD: 5/5 SERVICE: 4/5 VALUE: 4/5 AMBIANCE: 4/5 PET FRIENDLY: n/a CLEANLINESS: 5/5 PARKING: 5/5

    Okay the original bacon is absolutely ridiculous. It's so freakin good it's unreal. Moist, chewy, sweet, fatty....just so good. And served warm as it should be. Both my parents grew up in Singapore and I remember standing in line for the jerky out there. People would wait in line for hours for the best place. So yummy. The original pork was pretty good. The spicy beef was good, the spicy seasoning on it made it very tasty which makes me really excited to try the spicy bacon next time. Highly recommend.

    This is one of my to go place in LA. I love their pork jerky. I bought it to share with my family and friends. They also love it. :)

    Beef, pork, and bacon jerky!

    Came highly recommended. I can't wait to try. They sell it by the quarter pound. About $30/pound.

    My preference for jerky is now forever altered thanks to Fragrant Jerky. I find myself coming back to this place if I'm ever in the area. They have a variety of jerky, all sweet, savory, fatty, and uniquely addicting. You're able to buy by the pound, and if you're like me who needs to walk out with more than one flavor, the $$ adds up. I always find myself with a bag of the original pork, but they do have spicy and non spicy options of both beef and pork.

    This is not my first purchase from them. I have bought from them six times in person and twice online. This is my second online purchase, but this time I never received their package. Not even the postman's vehicle showed up. I provided photos from our home camera, but they accused me of fraud and even insulted me. It's extremely absurd and ridiculous for me, I'm the buyer, they telling me to claim compensation from the post office,but they are the seller and the holder of the post office account. This after-sales service is the worst I have ever seen, without a doubt. Please do not buy from them. They even threatened me with my information? I have already decided to report this to the police.

    I got 1lb of the original pork jerky. It's good. I still prefer the ones from another place called Champion Provisions (inside Focus Plaza), but unfortunately, their business closed.

    Really enjoyed Borneo Eatery. We ordered the Singapore Laksa, Nasi Campur, and Roti Prata and…read morepretty much cleaned everything up. The Singapore Laksa was my favorite. The curry broth was creamy, spicy, and packed with flavor. It came with shrimp, fish cake, tofu, egg, corn, bean sprouts, and noodles, so there was a lot in that bowl. There was actually an error with our order, but our server was so apologetic and immediately had the kitchen remake it. We didn't ask or complain, she just wanted to make it right. Really appreciated that. The Nasi Campur was great too. Rice with BBQ pork, Chinese sausage, fried chicken, and egg. Lots of different flavors on one plate and good if you want to try a little bit of everything. Roti Prata is always hard for me to pass up. Crispy and flaky on the outside, chewy inside, and that curry sauce they give you for dipping is so good. We finished that pretty quickly. Good food and even better service. Mistakes happen, especially at restaurants. How they handle them matters more to me, and our server handled ours perfectly. Would definitely come back.

Food came out quickly and was quite good. Singapore Laksa (6/10) - the curry was rather thin and lacking in flavor but maybe that's because it's intended to be more of a soup. I would've preferred rice on the side instead of rice noodles. Next time I would get the actual curry instead of this, but that is just personal preference Roti (8/10) - probably the best thing we had. It was simple but very delicious, flakey and decadent. The curry sauce was much thicker and paired along well, giving a sweet and mildly spicy flavor Nasi Campur (7/10) - the first bite was delicious, but gradually became more monotonous after each bite. I think the ratio of fried chicken thigh to the sausage and cha siu was slightly off, adding to the repetitive nature of the dish. Overall, it was still quite good

They have so many different options, including rice dishes, sauces, fried chips, snacks, and Indonesian drinks. I actually think some of their dishes taste a lot better than some of the Indonesian restaurants we've tried in SoCal. Everything is always freshly made, and the flavors really remind me of home. My friends and I usually get the banana-wrapped rice with beef rendang or the chicken version. We also tried the nasi kucing with octopus, and it was really good! The only downside I'd say about the rice plates is that I wish they gave more meat and less rice, especially with the larger wrapped ones. The prices definitely aren't cheap for these meals, but the food does taste good. We also tried their fried banana topped with cheese and Ceres, and it was chef's kiss. It was so good that I regret not getting more! This is a place we always used to visit when we lived in SoCal, and we still make a point to stop by whenever we're visiting down there now that we've moved to the Bay Area. There are still so many other dishes from this place that I haven't tried yet, but I definitely will the next time I visit! Parking is first come first serve and it's free. Sometimes during the weekend, it gets packed. There are limited outdoor seatings in front of the shop and no indoor seatings. They have microwave inside for you to heat the food and water as well. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in the area. If you're craving authentic Indonesian flavors that remind you of home, this is definitely worth a visit.

I think we will need to go back and try a few more dishes and we liked the desserts.

Restaurant was not busy at the time, our food came out pretty quickly. At the end of the meal, they offered to help pack our leftover food along with sauce, superior service. Food 5/5 -Deep fried salted pig feet, this is a MUST get. I cannot emphasize enough how well executed this dish was, the pig feet came deboned. Skin was thin, crispy but still had a delicate layer of gelatinous fat under that's so addicting and great pairing with the complimentary pot of white rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the seasoning is not overwhelming but tasteful enough that keeps you wanting to go back for more. Great portion for sharing, however you may not want to share and just keep it all for yourself. -Salted fish and garlic chicken fried rice, rice was fragrant with the delicate saltiness from the dry aged salted fish. The dish is a combination of fine bits and pieces of fish, chicken and notable amount of ginger. I'm usually not a fan of ginger but I actually liked it for this dish, brought a comfortable level of sharpness to it. But if you really hate ginger, you might want to avoid as they're really fine pieces and would be impossible to avoid. -Sliced beef with Chinese broccoli, beef was tender and full of the wok flame flavor, vegetables were fresh and crunchy, no notes. Ambiance 5/5 -Restaurant was super quiet, I really liked how calm it was in there. Mostly comfortable booths around the perimeter and tables were all separated by clear dividers.

Let's start with the lobster. They have about 45 different ways you can have it prepared. We went with the traditional style without the noodles. We just couldn't justify paying another $20 for noodles, and honestly, I don't think we missed much. The lobster had plenty of flavor, but compared with other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I expected. Considering we paid around $180-$200 for the lobster alone, that was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Vietnamese-style fish with black pepper. The fish was good, but again, not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. We wanted to try the pea shoots, but they told us they were seasonal, so we ordered the garlic string beans instead. They were good and nicely garlicky, but nothing that made me say, "Wow!" The standout for me was the French-style filet mignon. It was cooked almost medium-rare, with lots of onions, and the flavor was really good. That dish came closest to earning five stars for me, although the portion was smaller than I expected. Our total bill was around $380, so for that price, I was expecting something much more exceptional. Service was fine. They changed our plates and took care of the little details, and luckily it wasn't very busy when we went. I've seen pictures of lines out the door, so I honestly don't know if we caught it on an off night or what the hype is about. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it wonderful or better than the other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried? Unfortunately, no. I'm glad we finally tried it because I had been curious for a long time, but would I come back? Most likely not. For all the hype and the price, I was expecting a lot more. I'm giving it 3 stars--good food, but not the amazing experience I was expecting from one of the top-rated lobster spots in the San Gabriel Valley. Parking is good.

Not a problem, the lunch menu was equally enticing. A 2-course offering for $25. I started with the Thai Prawn Ceviche. This course was wonderfully balanced, not too acidic, also a nice touch of sweetness and plump flavorful prawns. For the main, my selection was the Beef Truffle Wok-Seared Noodles. I was delighted that they were round noodles and they arrived at my table stirred in a dark sauce with sliced beef pieces on top. A small porcelain decanter was also supplied, containing the truffle oil. I poured it over my noodles. The beef was tender, moist and could be cut with the usual provided table knife. The whole dish was a winner, from start to finish. Service here, as expected, was well executed. Need to be aware of the parking though. There is a public garage around the corner that is advertised for this establishment and a few others. Problem is, that Star Leaf validates only for 1-hour, while their neighbors do so, for 2-hours. I addressed this issue with the manager at my last visit and this time too. The answer I got was not convincing to suggest that they care, or will do something about it, anytime soon. Oh well.
