WHY I CAME HERE? My first time here. I found out about Fu Restaurant located in Walnut through a Yelp event that they held a while back. I didn't get confirmed in for the event which was no biggie. I still wanted to come here and check them out. So glad I did because their Taiwanese foods were amazingly delicious. YUMMY! FOOD: I wanted to try something different. Below were the dishes I chose. 1 Chinese okra - I have never eaten Chinese okra before so this was a new and exciting experience. It was all about the okras... lots of them. Portion was huge. The only thing that was odd about this dish was the after taste... I can't put a handle on it. I may have to ask them next time. 1 Eggplant with Basil - Wow, this was the BEST eggplant dish I have ever eaten! It was so very fresh. Huge chunks of eggplant. Flavor was on point. This is a MUST GET every time! Yum!! 1 Wontons with Chili Oil - This was just okay. Nothing special. 1 Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili - AMAZING! This was SO GOOD! Love the flavor and spice combo. Funny, I didn't eat this dish until one week later (I had a lot of other foods to eat LOL) and it was still good as if I had eaten it on day one. Imagine if I did... how much tastier it may have been. Yum! Anyhoo, this is another MUST GET if you love fish. I do LOL. 1 Mapo Tofu with Pork - If you spend $58 or more, you get one complimentary mapo tofu dish. Cool! Thank you for the free dish! I've never been a big mapo tofu fan, but this was quite tasty. STAFF / SERVICE: I placed my order over the phone. The lady I spoke with seemed very nice and pleasant. I paid for my food upon arrival. I believe the lady was the owner. Sorry, I don't remember her name. She was more pleasant and friendly in person. Thank you miss for the warm hospitality and service! INTERIOR / AMBIANCE: Very bright and welcoming. Open space with lots of seating. EXTERIOR / PARKING: No outside seating for dining. Plenty of free parking. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE? My next visit will be dine-in if possible. I am ordering my eggplant and fish again plus other delicious dishes that's on the menu. YES, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Stop by after reading some good reviews about this place. . Came by during the lunch hour on a weekend but it wasn't busy, thankfully. We ordered almost everything on the menu (see photos). Reasonably priced and delicious. Every item was pretty standard in terms of taste and flavor, but that's a good thing. There was no disappointment. We even received a complimentary mopo tofu (not too spicy) for ordering some many items. The sweet and sour fish was a favorite. Inside was clean, modern, and new. Service was excellent. Fairly local for those who are in the area and students at Mt. SAC. Around the same area where the old Stater Brothers used to be, which is fairly quiet and plenty of parking. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Checked out Fu restaurant and recently got to try: scallion noodle, popcorn chicken, orange chicken, spicy wonton, spicy cucumber, mapo tofu and salt and pepper shrimp. My favorites were the mapo tofu, cilantro beef, and popcorn chicken! The mapo tofu had a great Szechuan flavor and the garlic beef was so tender! I normally am familiar with this inside a beef roll but I enjoyed that it was separate and was a good appetizer! Popcorn chicken had a great flavor too! The scallion noodles also had a nice flavor but is on the oilier side! The spicy wonton and shrimp were ok - not my favorite as it wasn't as flavorful as the other items. The spicy cucumber also had a nice bite to it and was refreshing! Great service and nice ambiance! Food came out quick!

Visited Fu Restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. We were greeted and given a table right away. The environment seemed very clean and welcoming. Alicia was our server and was on top of everything. We never had to ask for anything because she would ask us first! She was very friendly. Food: Chicken Fried Noodles were absolutely amazing. They were super flavorful and I couldn't get enough. Definitely 5/5 Wontons with Chili Oil were okay. I may be a snob when it comes to these because I order them everywhere. 3/5 Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and chili was sooooo good. I will definitely order this again. 5/5 Orange chicken was ok. I wanted it to be sweeter or more orange flavor if that makes sense. 3/5 Sweet and Sour Rib were delicious. 5/5 Shrimp fried rice was super yummy. 5/5 AM choi was a nicely flavored vegetable to get. 4/5 Salt pepper shrimp could have used a little more seasoning. 4/5 I HIGHLY recommend this place. I loved a majority of the food I tasted and there is still so much more of their menu to try! The portion sizes are great too. This place is definitely a hidden gem that I will be returning to. The vibe, service, and food were all amazing.

Ordered to-go and it was bit of a disappointment. Beef stew noodle - noodles were very starchy and powdery, no green onions or cilantro, soup was just OK. However, the beef stew cubes were great and tender. Twice cooked pork- oily and very salty. Filled with cabbage and peppers, with very little pork Garlic A Choi- not much garlic but it was decent, can't mess up veggies much Shredded pork and bean curd- way too much corn starch Way better and more flavorful Chinese restaurants around. Maybe other dishes are better but the staples I typically order weren't great (but not absolutely terrible).

This new Taiwanese restaurant replaced and OG family favorite Taiwanese restaurant. The place is definitely a family owned business with minimal staff during the grand opening period. There menu has a majority of classic dishes with VERY classic flavors, as mom says. There is only one auntie working the front of house so be patient with her as she literally has to do everything herself in this huge restaurant. She does an excellent job however! The food was delicious and one of the best in the SGV area if you've tried other places. We got: The signature 3 cup chicken is delicious with crunky bone-in chicken thighs with perfect seasoning. Excellent with rice with just enough amounts of savoriness The Egg plant basil, another signature item has exactly the flavor profile of what the dish is suppose to taste like. The egg plant is super fried tender and very aromatic with the fried basil and perfect soy to sweet ratio. Yes that was the exact feedback mom said too and she uses this dish as the measuring stick for many restaurants. Kung Pao Chicken. Another measuring stick for any Shanghainese/Taiwanese restaurant and skill level of the chef. The dish was perfectly dry/wetness level with just the amount of ratio of meat to veggie with seasoning to oyster sauce. Not too salty or too sweet. ALMOST better then moms, highly recommended. Oyster Pancake. This one was very different from the majority of other restaurants, even the night market versions in Taiwan. The base has layer of chopped napa instead of Taiwanese lettuce so gives the dish more veggie bite. The oysters are large and plentiful with the perfect red sauce and glutinous rice flour. Beef Roll: This item was our least favorite. It does have a very thick crispy onion pancake crust with ALOT of perfectly tender sliced beef. The issue with the dish is the sauce or lack of actually. It's missing the sweet/tangy amount of oyster sauce inside with the freshness of the large amounts of chopped cilantro that make this dish awesome. Yes its good but they need more sauce, otherwise its literally a dry beef onion pancake roll. Overall we did love the food and service here and absolutely will come again to support our local Taiwanese small businesses! Yes they have delicious winter melon too!

Fu Restaurant is located in the Walnut Hills Village just across the way from Mount San Antonio College. But despite being at the corner of Amar Road and Grand Avenue, this restaurant has managed to float under the radar with just 44 reviews and a 4.2 star rating. Seeing this, I decided to give them a try on a Thursday evening in hopes of finding a new spot to eat. For this to-go order, I decided to give the House Special Chicken ($16.95) and Sausage Fried Rice ($15.95) a try. And although each dish had a few surprises inside, the portion of food did not seem to be much. Looking at the House Special Chicken first, each piece of chicken was of a moderate cubed size which made for a palatable dish. Made up of the chicken and some ginger, the dish was rather simple as well. But with most pieces having fragments of bones between the meat, the portion of chicken was less than anticipated. Moving on to the fried rice, I did enjoy the sliced pieces of thick sausage inside the dish. But with only a reserved amount of carrots, peas, and eggs, the dish relied on the rice to give it substance. Eating these two together, I was able to feel full between one meal to another. But if I only could only order one of these dishes, I would have left hungry! Looking at a price to portion aspect, I would order something else. Although the food's portion left much to be desired, the flavors of the food were simple and on point. For starters, each piece of the House Special Chicken had a subtle sweet undertone. And with the inclusion of the ginger, the chicken was somewhat spicy. Because the meat was moist, it really made the difference in the quality. As for the fried rice, the grains of rice themselves had a light soy sauce flavor which set a subtle savory bar. Throwing in the sausage added a heavier sweet taste to the rice that helped a lot to bridge the gap between the rice and chicken. To this though, the peas, carrots, and eggs, did not have much of an impact because of how little of these there were in the ingredient mix. From a holistic taste perspective, both dishes were both simple and flavorful which really made each taste of higher quality compared to your typical Chinese restaurant. Fu Restaurant has something good going on in their kitchen with some great tasting food. For those looking for something simple and food that tastes of home, this spot will definitely satisfy that craving. But with a price to portion ratio that is smaller than others in the area, I would argue Fu Restaurant's House Special Chicken and Sausage Fried Rice deserve a middle-of-the-pack 3 star rating. The food is by no means bad, not by a long shot. However, an increase in portion size would help it compete with other spots in the area. Good start, just keep going guys!

Had a Door Dash gift card that I received as a gift. Ended up ordering from here since they had a buy one get one free special on certain items. Everything was packaged nicely and food items were still hot and fresh. For the buy one get one free item, we got the beef noodle soup. Price wise it was great, the beef noodle soup itself was just okay. The other items we ordered were very good. We got the beef roll, popcorn chicken, and sweet & sour pork ribs. Beef roll was my favorite. Ordered to go but did pick up at restaurant instead of delivery. The restaurant itself is clean and fresh - I think they remodeled not too long ago. Worker was really friendly and made sure my order was good to go. Nice neighborhood restaurant.

不喜歡你的人，不管你做什麼，他都不會喜歡你，真的無需太在意，反而應該讓喜歡你的人，覺得他們真有眼光，才是值得你努力的方向～ 很多朋友喜歡吃熱炒，炒菜，但是在羅蘭崗附近， 其實能吃的就是那幾家，前兩天到Walnut 探店，我們點的三道菜， 酸菜魚片，上海小排，跟清炒絲瓜，結果三道都好好吃，這也有點令我驚訝，本來不抱太大希望的，其實這家店讓我最感動的地方，是他們貼一進門的地方，有提供愛心餐，在美國我倒是第一次看到，現在通膨那麼厲害， 相信每個小老百姓或多或少都有被影響到， 尤其比較弱勢的家庭，日子應該是更難， 店家能有這樣的愛心， 非常值得讚揚，如果你也喜歡吃熱炒， 也許該給這樣有善行的店家一個機會試試，就在以前大聲公的那個位置

I was attracted by the restaurant's decor and decided to give this newly opened place a try. The staff is very friendly. I tried the following items: Popcorn Chicken Rice: The side dishes were very plain and disappointing. Some of the larger pieces of chicken seemed undercooked, so I didn't eat them, but the flavor was good. Unfortunately, there weren't any spicy options available. Beef Roll: The flavor was average. It would have been better with some sauce. Stir-fried Rice Cake: The only item I would recommend, definitely worth trying.

Came to one of our favorite restaurant in this plaza, the food here is always delicious. We ordered the pictures I posted below but instead of going through each one, I'll just say that it was delicious! Although, a take out would diminish the taste a bit but that's the same with any other restaurant. Will definitely come back every now and then.

Found a gem in walnut, came here with a craving of the Shanghainese food. A must order dish is their fried rice cake with mixed beef bits radish and shrimp. Loved their vibe and the service was quick and friendly. Enjoyed all the dishes with no disappointment, the price was fair and portions were big!
