    Cured pork face meat with radish slices
    Ed Y.

    I'm super surprised how good this restaurant is. In general I think Bay Area Chinese food sucks compared to SoCal and I often drive down to SoCal just because I miss more authentic Chinese food there. However I can honestly say this restaurant is just as good as the best Hunan/Sichuan food from the San Gabriel area. This used to be a different Sichuan dry pot restaurant that was so so and I really haven't gone back since the new one opened up. The name is also really misleading because many Taiwanese restaurant use Grandma as the name. As a foodie this restaurant is legit. It's in a small plaza shared with another Taiwanese restaurant so parking can be difficult but there are plenty of street parking right next to the restaurant. The interior is clean and well organized. The service is prompt and good enough. They ask for reviews but didn't promise some freebie for a semi fake 5 star review which is great. I never leave a good review just for a freebie because my integrity is way more expensive than freebies. The food is phenomenal and authentic in every way. The frogs are tender and the spices are not overwhelming and brings out the flavor of the frog meat just right. The cured pork (pig face meat) is very rare in the states. It's also cured properly to give the authentic hunan flavor. They also mix it with raddish slices which is also rare in most Chinese restaurants here in the states. Even the conch with bamboo shots surprised me in how thin the slices of the conches are. It's also flavored without being too spicy nor too salty. Everything is on point. I do wish they used better white rice but that alone is not enough for me to take off any stars. This is just a wonderful restaurant that's on par with my favorite hunan restaurant in San Gabriel and I'm so glad I found it because I'm sure going to go back every week now.

    Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent, albeit a touch shady and unsafe...more on that later. Parking was available in the private lot or on nearby surface streets. The interior of the restaurant was like visiting China. Staff were quick to greet as well as inform us of a promotion that there would be complimentary goods if good reviews were posted about them online...yikes...maybe it's cultural. The side emergency exit door was used for storage...definitely a safety hazard. I'm sure the fire marshall would be interested in seeing this...again...maybe cultural? Started off with the salt and pepper fish fillets and they were surprisingly decent. The fish was light and the breading was also light. Loved how they had some peppers to complement the dish. The sauteed eggplant with shrimp paste was quite tasty. Surprisingly, the flavors were quite bold, just like in SE Asia. It was on the oily side though. Ordering was done via the QR code and gratuity selections started at 15% after tax. ~$22/head after tax and gratuity for dinner with plenty of leftovers!

    Started eating to quickly haha

    Delicious and staff takes care of you very well I would highly recommend this restaurant it is small and has a home style feel so it's not an elegant place but food and service is excellent

    The food is sooo great! I went there for lunch/dinner multiple times and they have special dishes and new dishes every week the service is also very good. I highly recommend fish/shrimp/pork ribs - yummy yummy!

    Too salty

    I was driving by and it smells good. I stopped to order lunch. The lady that took my order was super nice. But the chicken was overly salty. The chicken was all salt.

    La Zi Ji / Spicy Chicken - ~$13

    Food (4/5) Great food but it is on the saltier side for some dishes. For our hungry party of three, we ordered the Fish Fillets with Tofu ($15.95), Grilled Cauliflower with Smoked Pork ($13.95), Stir-Fried Rice with Smoked Pork, Spicy Chicken (forgot the exact name, but in pinyin it's "La Zi Ji"). Fish Fillets with Tofu (5/5) was soft, yummy, and seasoned well (not salty). The Grilled Cauliflower (4/5) was also delicious, though I wished that they adjusted the seasoning to account for the saltiness of the smoked pork. The Stir-Fried Rice (5/5) had great "wok hei". The Spicy Chicken (4/5) was good though I would try something else next time. Price (5/5) Entrees range from $15-20, reasonable given the portion size. Wait Time (5/5) Came for a weekday dinner around 530pm and it was empty. It filled up a bit afterwards. Service (4/5) Service was good, they were fairly attentive. We were seated a little aways from the server area but they were managed to provide everything we needed for the most part. Also appreciated that they didn't check-in on us too much during dinner. Ambiance (4/5) No concerns, clean and well-it. There's lots of tables and seats available. Parking/Access (5/5) Parking lot in front. There's plenty of parking available nearby. Just down the street from the shopping plaza with Daiso, Marukai Market, etc. I'd definitely be back if I was in the area. This restaurant is more on the 4-stars side for me overall because some dishes were quite salty.

    Ok a few things to clear up right from the start... We went their website and clicked on Place Order Now. This takes you to the Beyond Menu site. We order and are told to pick up in 35 mins. When we picked it up, they have a hard time finding the order (eventually do), tell me not to order that way next time, and give me a card with a QR code to use next time. Umm, change your web site? The food was salty and seemed to have MSG. Other Yelpers claim you should put "special requests" like less salt, no msg, no peanuts, etc in the comments. Wish I'd seen that beforehand. Warning: I was thirsty for hours afterwards. On to the food... Deep fried chicken wings: spicy! And a gazillion peppers. Wings themselves were crunchy with a decent taste but too spicy for me. Mongolian Chicken: also spicy but not as bad. The chicken was kinda mushy -- maybe from the MSG. We found a small bone so at least we know it's real chicken. Kung Pao Chicken: you expect this to be spicy but it was actually less spicy than the Mongolian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I like this dish the best. Napa Cabbage with Fried Tofu: messy and unremarkable. pass Pork fried rice: flakes rather than chunks of pork. Fried rice was good. We'll probably give this place another chance but it doesn't seem like our go to Chinese takeout.

    Tasty food, reasonable pricing, and very attentive staff. And there's never a wait when I go. This place is truly a hidden gem.

    I went to Grandma's Kitchen for lunch on a weekend afternoon. The restaurant wasn't very crowded, so we were seated right away, and the service was fairly quick. We ordered three dishes. The first was a steamed tofu and fish dish, but it was rather bland and lacked the fresh flavor you'd expect from fish; we left about half of it uneaten. The second dish was a smashed eggplant with chili, which was quite oily. Guests are supposed to crush the ingredients in a clay pot themselves, but the pot was small and hard to work with. Finally, for dessert, we had glutinous rice balls in rice wine, which was actually very good--sweet but not overly so, and generously portioned.

    Steamed Fish Fillets with Tofu()

    I have been on the look out for a GOOD Chinese-styled steamed fish and this place had a lot of good reviews. Upon arrival, there was a big crowd of people waiting to be seated. Seems to be really popular on the weekends. I scanned a QR code inside and ordered on 39miles. Definitely order ahead because they estimated 30 minutes for pickup orders. I ordered the Steamed Fish Fillets with Tofu. It comes in a huge aluminum tray and it seems to be steamed in a light soy sauce. The dish is overall very simple and easy to eat. I think it was cooked perfectly, but the sauce could have been elevated. It was a little plain. Overall great value and authentic food.

Had a great experience prior to this with a friend so I wanted to bring my mom to try. My experience from the service however was a little uncomfortable. When I went with my mom there was no customers. The server seated us at the bench closest to the wall (the table was pushed into the bench against the wall so we had to move it.) Apparently a lot of the legs on some of the tables and benches are wobbly so they put things under to balance it. The servers told us to move it back under the table since we pushed the table out to sit into the bench. My mom is older and she has a hard time walking, she asked to switch to another table where the benches and tables were already spaced out properly because it is hard for her to bend down and move the things under the table legs. The server gave my mom an attitude and asked why two people couldn't fit into our current table.
