Oxtail Pho
Ran C.

A coworker who loves this place recommended it - otherwise, I would have never known about it because when I think Vietnamese food, Little Saigon (Westminster) automatically comes to mind. Not that this place is any closer but now I know of it in case I'm around and craving it. Starting with parking - I guess there's a lot behind but I parked on the residential side street. It was free and I didn't see any restrictions (signs). There's street parking on the main drag but I'm not a fan of trying to park or pull out when cars are doing freeway speeds on surface streets. Walked in and immediately seated. Glad I got there when I did because shortly after I was seated, the crowd hit and diners were standing waiting for a seat. I got there before the lunch crowd. It's my first time and it was on a Sunday so I can't tell you what their peak times are. Call and ask or chat with a regular. Service was find. When needed, I waved someone down. Typical service I expect from a Vietnamese restaurant. As for the food, I ordered too much. I ended up taking a bunch home, mostly the rolls. I don't like soup to go. Noodles would have gotten too soggy ... But I enjoyed it to the point I know I'll go back. The broth hit me on the first sip. It felt like a punch of flavor that woke up my taste buds in a really good way. I took several sips before putting my Pho together to start eating. At other places, I'm used to getting a portion of how many rolls were served here. I ended up eating half of each, taking the rest home. I like that they were balanced with ingredients - I wasn't looking whether something was missing or not. I could tell with each bite. I really enjoyed this place and I only wish it was closer.

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

My wife wanted to try out the banh canh cua so we came down to Golden Delight to give it a try. Oddly she went with her current favorite dish: bun rieu, and I got the banh canh cua with a side of Chinese donuts. Let's start by saying that we got there around 3pm and parked on a small street on the side. Once we walked in, we were greeted and seated almost right away. The original guy took or drink orders and gave us time since my wife wanted to look over the menu. The decor was clean and more modern than many restaurants in the area, but it does have that dated vibe to it. Later, a nice server named Esther came by and got our orders. It took about 10-15 minutes before our orders all came out, but everything was hot and in order. She enjoyed the bun rieu and the portion was plentiful. They were out of the pork rib meat and another item for that dish, but she enjoyed it anyways. I found the banh canh cua nice and tasty. It had a nice umami flavor and a thicker broth that went perfect with the Chinese donut. The banh canh texture was decent and the shrimp pieces were quite tender. The only thing about the service that wasn't stellar was that we weren't able to get a water refill by the time we were heading out, and it took a bit to flag someone down to pay our check. I can blame our server too much as it appears that she was on break, but there were other workers around prepping for the afternoon crowd. Otherwise, our first visit here was pretty good and we would likely return in the future.

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.

ya'll... when i tell you this banh canh changed the trajectory of my life. genuinely such a well-made, hearty noodle soup dish. i think about this dish on the daily

Elocin T.

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.

But as for the food itself, the standouts would be the fried shrimp and the lobster. The shrimp is perfectly fried and I enjoy how soft the shell is. I like the lobster alot too. I personally prefer the way it's prepared at Henry's, but Newport's is still pretty decent. For the most part, the food is overloaded with MSG. 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.

I had the Lunch Set C menu, which came with a full table's worth of food for about 5 people for $158. The service was top tier, and the waiters were attentive but not overbearing. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a high end Chinese restaurant. The ambiance is dark, but each table had its own bright lighting, so it didn't feel too dark. Now for the food, here are my thoughts. Snowflake Beef with Garlic - Came in an interesting box grill, and it was perfectly cooked. Medium-rare with a slightly crispy outside and a tender, soft inside. Very flavorful. (5/5) Array 35 Signature Roast Duck - Best duck I've had. Crispy skin, and the meat was so flavorful. It came with wraps, veggies, and hoisin sauce. This is a must get. (5/5) Cold Mixed Cucumber, Century Egg, Eggplant - This is an interesting dish, but I love century egg, and this was actually amazing. No weird taste at all. (5/5) Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce - Tender meat in a nice, spicy sauce. It's delicious. (5/5) Braised Black Cod with Potato Starch Sheets - Perfectly cooked cod, and I really enjoyed the potato noodles. So good and flavorful. (5/5) Seasonal Steamed Dimsum - This was a veggie bao, and it was so good, especially for being vegetarian. (4.5/5) Homemade Shrimp Paste with Hotpot - A simple dish, but the flavors were good. It came in a steaming pot that kept everything warm. Delicious. (4.5/5) Stir Fried Seasonal Veggies - These were stir fried string beans, and they were good. Perfectly cooked and seasoned well. (4.5/5) Snow Fungus Pear Soup - A nice dessert that comes with the set. It came with 5 bowls and was super refreshing and tasty. (5/5) Normally, I have something to say about the food, but everything here was absolutely delicious. Yes, it's a pricey experience, but the ambiance, food, and service make it worth it for special occasions. Parking - They share a lot, which was pretty plentiful when I visited.

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! :)

Not sure why this place is called Boston Lobster, but this outstanding restaurant in the San…read moreGabriel Valley focuses on Cantonese and Vietnamese flavors. Their signature dish - their "house special lobster"- is the most flavorful preparation of lobster that one can have. The lobster is fried and the juicy bites of meat is layered with garlic, green onions, and sweetness. If you're lucky, you might get some roe, which gives extra salinity. An order of lobster presently costs $34/lb and a "small lobster" will weigh 3-4 lbs; therefore, I only order this signature dish for special occasions. Even if you don't want lobster, don't fret as the rest of the menu is equally delicious. Their "yang chow fried rice", crab and fish maw soup, beef loc lac, and clams with basil sauce are all personal favorites. I love their lunch specials as their entrees come with rice, but at a slightly lower price. The food is top notch, and it brings amazing Vietnamese and Cantonese flavors to this location in the San Gabriel Valley. For a special occasion with my wife or with a group, this is always a winning pick.

Thankfully, they were incredibly gracious and accommodating when we showed up. The food is served family style, so we got to sample a little bit of everything. The filet mignon medallions were delectable--tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. And the Lobster Noodles! This was my first time trying them and they absolutely delivered. 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. Simple, savory, and cooked just right. I loved having something fresh and green alongside all the richer dishes. Great food, warm service, and such a fun meal to share with a group. I'll definitely be back.

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.
