    This place has some of the best bun rieu I've ever had in California, and their grilled meats are pretty tasty too! The service was quick, and the place was clean and bright. You know it's legit because there's always a lot of locals here with their families. There is an underground parking, but it can get pretty smelling sometimes - probably my biggest gripe about the place, and it's not even the actual restaurant itself. Highly recommend!

    I enjoyed the food here. The restaurant itself seems new and clean. The menu has beautiful photos with detail descriptions that make me wanna get everything. Service was efficient but not very friendly. Food was great and good portion size too. Definitely will come back to try other dishes.

    A cute fusion Chinese and Vietnamese spot! Came on a super hot day with my mom for the first time. My lovely nail tech suggested this place and it was good! Loved their egg rolls but the hot pot pho was def a bad choice it was soooo hot on this day lol I also got their crab bahn cahn udon it was good. I felt something was missing regarding flavors. From the bahn mi spot to this they are def expanding towards the El Monte side I feel! Def try the egg rolls and hot pot pho those we delish. Service was okay staff was plenty and came when need be

    Great flavors, big menu and a great manager. After reading the reviews, I decided to give this place a try on my only night in the Rosemead area. They had a Chinese menu and a Vietnamese menu. Honestly, it was a tough choice. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls , and the bun Bo nuong cha gio. The dishes were prepared with quality and patience. Lots of regulars in the restaurant it seemed. On this night , there were short staffed and I had to remind my server about my order a few times. The manager came out to apologize. She was a very good manager and handled things well. She offered me a discount, but I refused. Instead, she gave me a refreshing watermelon drink on the house. I will come back, next time I'm in town.

    We recently moved into the area. The pho restaurants here are thousands of times better than the pho restaurants near our prior residence. We visited Golden Delight upon recommendation from a nail tech. We were blown away by the taste and quality. This place has is now part of our rotation. Enjoy!

    Best pho and egg spring rolls in SGV! Parking is available in the lot behind it, and they sometimes have a long line. Come in odd hours to avoid lines. They have a rock/stone bowl that keeps the pho broth warm longer and makes it taste better.

    The restaurant has a sign in sheet, so make sure to put your name down when you get there. There's a parking lot on both sides of the building. The parking lot gets busy during the weekends. The food was good but the ac was not that high. It was really hot. I enjoyed the banh beo and the rice. The staff were efficient and fast. Lots of dishes on the menu to try. Nice decor and tables.

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. There is parking on the street as well as an underground parking behind the restaurant. The restaurant is very nice, bright, and clean. The decors were cool. We signed in to the waiting list. Waited outside and before long, we were called in and got our table. The staffs were courteous and friendly. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that also serve Chinese Foods. They have two sets of menus. One for Vietnamese dishes and the other one for Chinese dishes. Both menus offer a variety of selections. They even have Set Dinner Menu that comes with pre-set items. Have to give that a try one day. We ended up ordering the Bún Bò Huế and the Vietnamese Braised Fish. The Braised Fish did not come with steam rice, so we had to order the steam rice. For the drinks, we had the Peach Oolong Iced Tea and the 3-Colored Dessert. The Bún Bò Huế was very good. The Braised Fish was a little salty but still tasted good. The Peach Oolong Iced Tea was refreshing. The 3-Colored Dessert was very yummy. I enjoyed the sweet taste of it. They gave us orange slices for dessert on the house. The orange slices were so sweet and delicious. Will be back to try their other dishes I saw on their menus.

    Taste is Spot on ! So much choices.. vietnamese menu and Chinese good menu. Service is awesome we had like 5 different waiters coming to our table asking us if we needed anything and checking on us. It was mildly busy when we went and service was very attentive and quick . Pricing is reasonable and portion are generous which is hard combo go find these days . One of nicer vietnamese places we have been to. Parking is limited I mean barley any spaces in parking lot and underground and they are tiny spaces. Street parking at your own risk if you get what I mean. I can only imagine when it super busy how bad the parking is. But let me tell you it is worth the visit ! You will find something for everyone here. And again pricing is reasonable in an unreasonable pricing climate we are in today.

    There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant. Most people park on the nearby street. A solid spot for some Vietnamese food in the area. They seem to be quite popular as there was a wait the two times I went. They have lots of food options. The pho was solid but the meat portion was on the smaller side.

    Bun mam aka fermented fish vermicelli soup
    Melinda Q.

    There are very few Vietnamese restaurants that I've come across growing up in the SGV that offer the fermented fish vermicelli soup (aka bun mam) but Golden Delight does! This soup is so pungent that the only time I get to savor it is at home and the stink doesn't leave your home for a few days. So, it is to my delight that they offer it here during the weekdays. It is a nicely stacked bowl that has everything but the kitchen sink in it - roast pork belly, catfish, squid, eggplant, and stuffed jalapeno with fried fish cake. Very filling and reasonably priced! The only reason I gave this place a 4 instead of 5 rating is because you can only order certain items from the menu when they open. I wanted to get some Chinese food to-go for my husband, but was told by the server that the other items were only available beginning at 10 am, which is odd to me.

Each time I've gone or taken food to go, I feel massively dehydrated after that I get a headache if I don't drink enough water. Luckily the staff was pretty on top of refilling our waters, and they often switched out our plates for clean ones. We've been going for years, and they used to allow substitutions for the set menu. But on a recent visit, this didn't seem like it was a thing anymore.

Named in reference to a Chinese proverb (which names 36 monumental moments that a person experiences in their lifetime), Array offers upscale pan-Chinese cuisine intended to match the grandeur of monumental events. Now, Array joins a select group of ultra-premium SGV Chinese restaurants, offering an eclectic set of labor-intensive dishes hailing from Shanghai to Chongqing. From the outside, Array has wavy, avant-garde cement walls and a red carpet leading up to the sturdy, cast-metal double doors. Enter the opulent lobby, featuring a recessed ceiling light projecting through a thin layer of water and an LED whale illuminating a ceiling-high fountain. Past the fountain, you'll find a dimly lit dining room with nature motifs intermittently protecting against the otherwise dark, cavernous atmosphere. In contrast, private rooms along the periphery are comfortably bright and individually themed. Close the doors, and you almost entirely block out the ambient chatter and moody instrumental. I visited Array for a friend's birthday celebration. Across our feast, some of the consensus favorites were the Shanghai-Style Smoked Fish with Preserved Plums (crispy, sweet, and savory all in one) and the Stewed Sliced Fish in Wine Sauce (featuring fresh filets tossed in a thick, rich rice wine sauce). I also enjoyed the flavorful Crispy Prawns in Plum Sauce and the Teppanyaki Drunken Pork Neck. The signature Roast Duck was a show and craft in itself, artfully flambeed in baiju and smoked at table side, then served with the traditional accoutrements of pancakes, duck sauce, Asian pear, and brown sugar. Other dishes were on the better side of standard, including the Mapo Tofu with Ground Pork, the Snow Pea Leaves Stir Fry with Garlic, and the Spicy Vermicelli Hotpot (with some noodles crisping up against the stone bowl). The signature Sous-Vide Sichuan-Style Beef Short Ribs was more memorable for the plethora of spices and sauces on the sides, rather than the actual meat. Lastly, some items were one-dimensional or forgettable, including the bone-heavy Sizzling Chicken Clay Pot and Steamed Fish Ginger and Scallions; the starchy Stir-Fried Japanese Yam, Wood Ear and Pumpkin; and the plain Braised Pork and Vegetable Rice. The prices leaned toward premium (appetizers and veggies are ~$20, entrees are $30-40, and signature items reach $100); the service failed to match the prices, as some of our dishes were forgotten, and beverages were rarely refilled. The best dishes were excellent, but most plates didn't exceed "standard" by too much. I probably won't go out of my way to pay Array a repeat visit, but I will still be dreaming about that delicious rice wine-stewed fish.

Given that this place is definitely on the higher end in terms of price, I was expecting the dishes to be a little more unique and exquisite. Peking Duck - 6/10 Pretty standard. The duck skin was crispy and fatty, which was good, but the actual meat was a little dry. The wrapper was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Crispy Walnut Shrimp - 8/10 By far the best dish of the meal. The shrimp was lightly battered but incredibly crispy, and the walnuts were excellent and complemented the shrimp really well. The sweet melon was questionable, though. I couldn't quite understand the appeal of adding fruit to this dish. Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - 7/10 The filling was definitely up there in terms of flavor and quality, but the wrapper was far too thick for my liking. A thinner wrapper would have made a big difference. Seared Honey Glazed Cod - 5/10 Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The fish was very fishy, the sear wasn't particularly impressive, and the sauce didn't pair well with the cod. There were also chestnuts and what I believe were shallots, neither of which I really cared for. Overall, it's a beautiful establishment with great service and very impressive presentation. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't quite match the appearance or the price point for me. The Crispy Walnut Shrimp was the standout, but the other dishes were more average than I expected.

There are a few Canto cafés around here, but this one is definitely one of our favorites. Dim sum is pretty easy to find, but authentic Cantonese cafés are much more of a rare find. The lower reviews are probably due to the service, but in my opinion, a truly authentic Cantonese restaurant should have questionable service because that's exactly what you get at the good places in Hong Kong. The philosophy in Hong Kong is basically "food over service." If they're being too nice, they're probably overcompensating for something haha. Getting either the hot or iced milk tea or lemon tea is a MUST. It's the traditional way to do it, and they even offer unlimited refills! Just be warned that you might not sleep that night because Hong Kong-style tea is no joke when it comes to caffeine. Pro tip: If you get the lemon tea, you have to crush the lemons into the tea to get the right flavor! My friends and I are regulars here. They're open late, and the ambiance is so fun, with tables decorated with mahjong tiles and neon lights that basically scream Asia. The food is top tier and, in my opinion, some of the best Cantonese food you'll find in the U.S. Our go-to orders are the tomato baked rice dishes, stir-fried vegetables, 3-cup dishes, and brisket curries. For something sweet, we always share the classic Cantonese French toast with peanut butter inside or one of the pineapple buns. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for an authentic Canto café experience! :)

The lobster was cut and fried in a way that made the meat tucked inside the shell really easy to get to, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. And that gravy... I was literally sucking on the lobster shell trying to get every last bit. So, so good. We also had a stir-fried green vegetable--possibly watercress--and it was delicious.

Clams with Basil 5/10 - The flavor was decent, but the clams did not taste particularly fresh, which really took away from the dish. Pan-Fried Pork 2/10 - Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The pork didn't taste fresh, and the texture made it feel like it had been fried twice. The normally flavorful sauce it came with was also extremely bland. I'm actually very glad I came during lunch and paid lunch prices for these dishes. If I had paid dinner prices, I would have been extremely disappointed. The food from my previous visits weren't extraordinary, but at least it was "okay". However, after this visit, I have officially taken this restaurant off my rotation. I won't be returning.

    My friend and I went to Luyixian for lunch. This is actually my first time trying the food at…read moreLuyixian, and the food there was delicious! Luyixian is a gem located in the ABC plaza near the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Garfield Avenue. Luyixian serves a variety of soy-based dishes, regional Chinese comfort cuisine, and Zhejiang specialties. Luyixian is mostly known for their braised pork rice and beef noodle soup. The atmosphere there was nice and the staff there were very friendly. Parking can be found either inside the plaza building or underground. I ordered the braised beef rice. The braised beef rice was mouthwatering! It is like a home cooked meal. The braised beef was very tender and juicy. The beef is served with sauteed cabbage, pickled vegetables, hard-boiled egg, and a scoop of rice. The braised beef rice will taste even better when everything on the plate is mixed together. My dish took about 10 minutes to be served, which is quite quick. So far, my first time dining at Luyixian was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this gem to anyone who loves braised pork rice or other Chinese dishes!

    We were in the area, found this spot and ordered the beef noodle soup and fried rice…read more We came past 2pm on a Saturday and it wasn't busy. The place is clean and from the outside it looked small but there adequate seating. Service was fast. The soup was soooo good, the beef was melt in your mouth tender. The noodles were good as well as the fried rice. Straight forward - no frills good food.
