    Located in a food court in a supermarket with other popular food stalls. You honestly have to try each stall but this tends to be the busiest one. Affordable Chinese food that will keep you full without making you go in debt. Recommend their wonton noodle soup and their crispy noodle with beef. It's #10 on their photo menu.

    Wonton Noodles Soup
    Ben P.

    Located at the Food Court inside the Garvey Square Shopping Center. This little mom and pop restaurant, serving a variety of Chinese food, cook to order. You order the food at the counter. They will call your number when your order is ready. You can eat there at the food court or order to go. I ordered the Wonton Noodles Soup. The portion was pretty good for the price. It was delicious. Noodles was tasty and their Wonton is bigger than most places that serve Wonton Noodles Soup. The broth was light. They gave you the chilli oil to spice up the flavor. The ambiance is ok. Since this is in the food court area, seating can be tough to find during lunch time. Overall, the food is good. I suggest you get the food to go instead.

    stewed brisket wonton lo mein
    Erik G.

    I've wanted to come here for a long time, but my wife wasn't interested. Conveniently located in the GW Supermarket food hall, they specialize in Cantonese-style dishes. You won't find a better deal in the area! It's a great value. I ordered the stewed brisket wonton lo mein, as a friend, Cindy S., had it before. I should have read her review more carefully; she said it was decent, and that's exactly how I felt. The dumplings were okay, but I found a hard piece of cartilage in one, which I had to spit out. I'm glad my son wasn't eating it, as it could be a choking hazard. The egg noodles were also okay, nothing special. The best part was the brisket smothered in gravy. Overall, it was a decent dish, but I wouldn't go there for it. If I do go back, I'll try their #1 bestseller, the wonton noodle soup.

    Harlam kitchen is pretty decent for what it is. Located in a food court, we decided to give it a try. The menu is pretty simple with many variations of similar dishes. In terms of the food we got these. Chinese Donut Roll with Rice Sheet - I actually enjoyed this. It's simple but good. Pretty inexpensive too. (4.5/5) Wonton and Beef Stew Noodle Soup - It's not the best noodle soup I've had but its pretty decent. Comes in plastic bowl, not sure if it was going to melt or not since the soup was piping hot. Wontons were aight and beef stew was tasty. (3.5/5) Beef with Fried Noodles - I enjoyed this. Simple but the noodles were crispy and the gravy was tasty. (4/5) Overall solid food for a pretty good price. They are cash only so if you plan to come, make sure to bring cash.

    So disappointed

    This used to be my go-to for wonton noodle soup but it is under new management as of last year and it's not the same anymore unfortunately! This spot is located inside the food court of GW Supermarket so parking can be chaotic! It has a big parking lot but it's shared with many other businesses. Service was okay, not too friendly or welcoming Menu is very extensive and has a good variety of chow mein, lo mein, rice noodles, fried rice, and wonton noodle soup. Pricing is reasonable ($10-12+). Got the wonton noodle soup ($7.75) and was very disappointed. The wontons used to be huge and stuffed with pork, big pieces of shrimp, and super delicious. Not only have the wontons shrunk in size but there is hardly any shrimp and pork inside! It also doesn't taste as delicious as it used to. It tastes dry and flavorless now unfortunately. The noodles are very hard to chew and just not the same. Won't recommend or return

    Located in the food court of the square market shopping plaza, this is definitely a bond fide low key and underrated Cantonese hole in the wall. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the quality of the food and the taste has never changed. Known for their delicious broth and traditional Cantonese dishes, you will not be disappointed. The go to dishes are the wonton noodle soup (with varieties of different types of meat), chicken curry, rice sheet noodle with Chinese donut, and their dry beef chow mien/ chow fun. Service is speedy and efficient. Ask for their chili sauces to compliment their delicious dishes. Plenty of parking but the plaza can get busy on the weekends. Lastly, cash only.

    the wonton soup is good, but for me nothing special to it. the beef tripe is just ok for me.

    Wonton Noodle Soup and Rice Noodle Rolls
    Eric H.

    I haven't been to Harlam's Kitchen in many years, not since it used to have its own brick-and-mortar store. I thought Harlam's Kitchen was long gone but found out they relocated inside the GW Supermarket food court. Of course, I had to try them out again and reminisce about how good their 'jaleung' is. I ordered a Wonton Noodle Soup, Rice Noodle Rolls, Congee with Fish Fillet, and Chinese Donut with Rice Sheet Roll. My ultimate comfort food bundle! Everything tasted great, and I was surprised it all came out of that tiny food court kitchen. The only thing missing was more sauce on the rice noodle rolls, like sriracha, peanut sauce, and hoisin sauce. The food court is dingy and vacant, but don't let that fool you. The food here is solid and still retains the same recipes as years ago. I am excited to try their stir-fry dishes next time I visit again.

    Soy sauce chow mein, or "fried noodles chow mein"
    Jasmine N.

    It's been so many years since I've eaten here (back when there was an arcade next door). Back in the day their soy sauce chow mein was actually good, with a lot of wok hei, and supposedly they had changed owners a while back so it's not the same anymore but let's give it a try again. Definitely lighter in flavor, not as dark, not as enough wok hei as before but there were some noodle bits that charred a little more. They give a little container of chili oil but I honestly prefer it with sriracha. It's not the same as what I remember but it's still not bad, especially for the price of $6.50.

    I haven't been to Harlam's Kitchen for a while. They have been there for many years. I drove by to get breakfast at the GW Supermarket plaza on Garvey and San Gabriel Blvd in Rosemead. It's located inside of the food court. I checked the time on Yelp, and it says open at 10 a.m. but glad it was open when I arrived at around 9:30 a.m. The prices are very affordable from $7-$11. It's an authentic HK fast food place at the food court and most people get their wonton noodles, congee, steamed rice rolls, fried noodles, etc. I got their congee with pork & preserved egg and rice roll with fish fillet. The congee texture and flavor were good and had a lot of preserved egg and shredded pork meat inside. The steamed rice roll with fish fillet was okay, it had a lot of fish fillet in the fillings but the rice roll skins were thick though. It looked bland but tasted good with the sweet soy sauce. If you just wanna grab a cheap and authentic Cantonese-style breakfast or lunch for a to-go, this is a place for you. I would give them 3.5 stars to be fair (I round up to 4 stars). P.S. Cash only

    Did they close down due to covid? Every time we try to go, we stop by or give them a call, it just rings and goes to a full answering machine. A letter on their gate in front says they'll be closed until March or April but that was months ago.?

    Stopped by 9/6/20 and they were closed. Asked a shop nearby and was told they've been closed since March.

It was our first time at Tam's and we weren't disappointed at all! Tam's has a breakfast menu with plenty of options. The two of us ordered two breakfast combos and each came with a drink, two appetizers and an entrée. My hubby ordered the cold Hong Kong milk tea, which required a $1 surcharge for cold drinks. I ordered the hot Hong Kong milk tea. Both milk teas were delicious--no complaints at all! We both ordered their jook and for our appetizers, we ended up trying all four options since each combo lets you choose two appetizers. Everything was yummy and the portions were generous enough for two people. If you're a party of three and aren't big eaters, I'd recommend ordering just two breakfast combos. There's a parking lot outside since the restaurant is located in a small shopping plaza, so parking wasn't an issue. I'll definitely bookmark this place for future visits whenever I'm in the area. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They regularly checked on us to see if we needed more water. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, which was a nice option.

Their menu is huge so I'd love to try out some other items next time but the shrimp roll will always be a must!

Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to get a late dinner on a Saturday night. We walked in around 8:45 pm and were acknowledged by an employee after waiting for maybe 5 minutes asking if we would like a table. But the strange thing was that I had told the the employee who acknowledged me that I wanted a table for 2, he didn't sit us. He looked like he was trying to clean the table but then just walked away... but luckily another employee saw us and asked how many for a table. But anyway, after looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: A11: Fish Siu Mai with Rice Roll, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered this dish, which was plenty for one person (this dish is found under the appetizer section of the menu). I actually really love rice noodles and also fish siu mai so this was a great combination for me. And the peanut and soy sauce mixture poured all over reminds me of when I had freshly made rice noodle in Hong Kong many years ago. But my husband would prefer the rice noodle not to have any of the sauce (or on the side so he can maybe just dip it if he wanted to). I think this dish could use less of the peanut soy sauce mixture too but I still overall really liked this dish. D9: Grilled Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, $16.99 prior to tax- This dish comes with your choice of either steamed white rice or noodle. My husband decided to have rice. He thought the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. He also really liked the black pepper sauce that he picked to go with the pork chop (I know you can also pick a mushroom sauce but I don't recall if there was a 3rd sauce you can choose from or not). Portion wise, this is more than enough for one person since you are getting 2 pork chops. This is actually one of my mom's favorite dishes to order when she goes to any Hong Kong style cafes too. ----------------------------------- (Total= $34.23 after tax, prior to tip) Service was minimal. I spoke both Cantonese and English (well actually my husband spoke English and I spoke in Cantonese. I am just trying to make myself speak Cantonese more) so you shouldn't really have a problem ordering here. I really like the food and I am glad this place does open late. And it was pretty busy as time progressed while we were here. We also saw a few large groups come in and the staff moving quickly to put tables together to accommodate these big groups. Overall, we had a positive dining experience and would come back.

It is considered…read moreto be one of the best destinations for fresh seafood, with the accent on Chinese cuisine. What has shunned me from this place, is the distance and the traffic, from the SFV. Finally, I made the journey. And arrived for lunch, on a weekday. To come here and not order their iconic Signature dish, the House Special Newport Style Lobster, would be a sin. Imagine a trip that was almost 40 miles and an hour of traffic (one way), with no reward. It was time to experience the real thing. The signature dish. Walking in solo, I was given a booth. I liked that. On seating, I ordered a beverage to quench my thirst, catch my bearings and breath. Almost immediately, the servers kept bugging me to order. The place was barely 1/4th occupied. Whats the hurry. After all this, I had to repeatedly tell them, that i had already spoken with a server, regarding my order. Just wanted to relax first, catch my breath, sip my beverage. Coming here, I was aware that their tank lobsters would be in the 4-6 pound range. Good for, and ordered by, at least 3-4 people. So when I, as a solo diner, ordered a 4-pound lobster (with no other choice), just for myself, they began to leave me alone and give me more respect. The cut up wok prepared, House Special Newport Style Lobster, arrives wonderfully presented, with heaps of leeks, scallions and jalapenos. My kind of recipe. Truly unique and exceptional. There is no sauce, and only a mild flavor, yet tasty. My biggest concern here was (after reading numerous internet reviews), that the lobster would be rubbery and dry. Not so for me. I lucked out. Problem here is, while there is lots of meat (a 4 pound lobster will yield at the most, about a pound of meat), they do not have, or provide, the essential lobster cutlery, to do justice to this beautiful crustacean. I did ask though. They did not seem to care and told me to use my fork. LOL. Steamed rice is complimentary. So is a soup, with sweet and sour, being the only choice (I did not like this). Either way, my plan was to take leftovers (there was a lot), home, where I possess high class lobster cracking tools. And thank heavens I did. They were most useful, to crack and dig into all the lobster meat, that would have been inaccessible at the restaurant. With additional TLC, the leftovers held up well, to provide several additional lobster meals. Need to go back to try their enticing and reasonably priced variety of lunch specials (more seafood, choices minus lobster). Another sought after box on my list, is now checked.

The customer service is really good here. At the end of our meal, we were offered a complimentary dessert, which was a sweet soup made with sweet potato and egg.

The fish maw, shrimp paste, dried shrimp, mustard greens hot pot came out first. They were out of fish maw and wouldn't replace the ingredient with anything else or give us a discount, so we just had shrimp and greens in the soup. The soup had a good balance of fish and seafood flavours and went well with the slightly bitter mustard greens. The fried black tiger prawn with dried fish and garlic came next alongside the dried scallop and egg white fried rice. The prawns were such a visually stunning dish and the aroma was incredible! The prawns were huge, slightly juicy and packed a ton of flavour, it paired well with the egg white fried rice. The chestnut chicken hotpot came out last. It was a nice, hearty, umami dish. The chestnut and green onions melted in your mouth, which was great, but the chicken itself was a little dry and had lots of bones in it. Overall everything was well cooked and tasty, but nothing was a particular standout. It just felt a bit expensive for what you get. Lobster was $40/lb and minimum of 4lbs so we didn't try it, but it looked great from peeking at other tables. I'd recommend coming with a large group of people so you can split a variety of seafood to try.

If you know, you know. Forget standing in a line long enough to finish 8 Mile waiting for the "real" dim sum experience-this spot is too busy quietly running circles around the competition. Little Kanupe and I started the morning absolutely hangry (one of my baby soldiers) after striking out at another place (we'll leave them unnamed to protect the innocent). One quick Yelp audible later and we landed at HK Dim Sum. Best comeback since B-Rabbit dropped the mic. The first thing you'll notice is the size of the hand cared for master pieces. Run here for a quick FIFA break, but dont think you're ordering "a little something." Every bite delivers. The chow mein was memorable, so memorable with that wok hay kiss on every noodle just right. Smoky, savory, and ridiculously addictive. Every dish hit with that same "one more bite" energy, and somehow everything showed up almost before we finished ordering. No carts, no gimmicks, no unnecessary fanfare, just legit dim sum crazy great flavor. HK Dim Sum earned a rock-solid five stars. Din Tai Fung is King in most circles, but this place is the Daenerys Dragon Queen dominator. I'm so happy to be part of this sharing of secrets. BTW get the Shumai, chowmein and har gow as starters. Explore the menu. I'm comin back soon and i'm near TJ lol.

They have a new menu and we ordered the Minced Pork & Egg Rice. This is the non-gravy/sauce version like some local restaurants are starting to do. Break the runny egg yolk and mix everything together. It was pretty good. We also ordered the pan fried turnip cake which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's better than many dim sum restaurant versions. Also got their beef rice roll again. Their rice rolls are always a hit. Don't forget to order their HK lemon iced tea on the side. It pairs well with everything especially on a hot summer day. Good air conditioning. Lots of indoor seating. Great service. Highly recommend!

Interior is hardly decorated but has statement black and red tables and chairs haha. No one was dining in, but it seemed like Steam Fresh was popular for takeout. For us, a black sesame roll (could be a snack or dessert), four orders of steamed pork siu mai, two orders of juicy pork dumplings (soup dumplings), and a beef chow fun with soy sauce dish totaled to a little over $55. Everything came out piping hot and packaged well for takeout. We only waited about 15min, which was not bad at all. We really liked the siu mai and chow fun. Both were savory and addicting. Siu mai were especially juicy and meaty; they definitely satisfied our dim sum cravings. Soup dumplings were ok - I found the wrapper to be doughy and the filling kinda plain. The black sesame roll had an interesting rolled look and a sticky, chewy, jelly-like texture. It tasted like lightly sweetened black sesame paste mixed into what seemed like a combination of mochi and agar. The small parking lot in the back is free. We got lucky finding a spot in the late morning, but when we were ready to back out after getting our food, cars were either circling the lot or waiting for someone to leave.
