It's a great pleasure to dine at Hengry. As soon as I walked in, I know it's not just a restaurant. Starting from the owner's initial aspiration to bring solid Guizhou cuisine to LA and now they have successfully made Alhambra home for people who enjoy Miao's food. Must order - signature Miao's sour soup, Golden braised lamb, Fried tofu balls, Mushroom dry pot, & House fried rice. I also prefer to customize the menu with the owner/chefs. The private room provides great service, exceptional dining experience, and special orders of delicious food such as King Crabs or Lobsters in Miao's sour soup & the spot prawns etc. Recently they curated a few new items on the menu. I will definitely go back soon to taste their always-satisfying Guizhou food! read more

We always pass by this restaurant, so we finally tried it. WOW!! I'm blown away by the their superb, friendliness, professional, fun service! They offered us the private room for our large party to celebrate as a surprise when we arrived. Super generous. ** Make sure to call the restaurant to reserve for a large party ahead of time. *** The owner (Leo) is amazing and truly makes the whole experience feel so personal. They would ask to check if there's any specific dishes that we wanted as pre-order fresh from the market. Never had that done for us before at any restaurant. The dishes were all super tasteful for this specific Guizhou cuisine restaurant. It was our first time trying and we loved every single dishes. Who knew their cabbages were sooooo good!!?? Even a simple dish can be so memorable! They also offered us vegan options to some of their dishes as well on the menu. They are super accommodating with all dishes for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters here. Even my vegan friends loved their dishes! They also offered us 2 dishes on the house. Super nice group of people. Oh! The prices for all the dishes are so affordable, so definitely bring more friends here to try more dishes to split the bill. So many fun art decor and paintings at this restaurant. We would all definitely come back again and again! Thanks Leo and team for the amazing dinner experience! read more

I must've passed Hengry dozens of times and never noticed it. Located on Valley in Alhambra, Hengry blends in and doesn't look like much. But once inside, the eclectic artwork is a vibe. Cool, edgy, and interesting. We sat on a middle table with a loveseat looking chair and two puffy yellow chairs. Very comfortable and relaxing. Our server gave us a tablet to view the menu and place our order with the kitchen. Our server gave us a number of recommendations and we ended up ordering the following dishes: kung pao chicken (4/5) pretty tasty dish mapo tofu (3/5) tasty dish with a deep earthy flavor (I'd get this again) fish mint salad (3/5) no fish in this dish, the vegetable tastes like fish and mint. It's light, good acid and flavorful chicken dumplings (2/5) my least favorite dish. It was lukewarm and not very flavor Overall a nice dinner. Good portions of mostly tasty food and no complaints. Service was excellent! Our server was friendly, informative, and took great care of us. There's a parking lot adjacent and I think it's free. Would I return? Maybe if in the area. I'm interested in some of the other dishes and wouldn't mind trying the hot sour soup dishes. LOCATION: 4/5 FOOD: 3.5/5 SERVICE: 5/5 VALUE: 4/5 AMBIANCE: 5/5 CLEANLINESS: 4/5 PARKING: 4/5 read more

Came here for the 1st time after seeing it on IG. Had reservations so we were seated rght away. Nice, clean, and modern restaurant with Asian inspired art and eclectic furniture. Inside is not very big. Parking structure located in the back, shared with the motel. Servers are friendly and attentive. The food was good but spicy even though we ordered MILD. So be sure to say NO SPICY if needed. My favorite was the Miso Sour Soup with fish filets. It was very flavorful and appetizing. All their dishes were huge portions! The Pickled Chili Bullfrog was good but too spicy! It was so numbing. I wanted to keep eating but just couldn't. Next time I come back I will remember to order all Non Spicy. read more

We live right around the corner of this restaurant and have been wanting to try it for the longest, today, we came for lunch. Ordered a variety of items and love them all with a couple of exceptions - the smash cucumber salad definitely needed more flavor and seasoning and, the potato with crispy pork, definitely need more pork, regardless of this, the dishes are still very good. Love the atmosphere and decor. Great customer service, thanks Gary! Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu. Street parking available and parking available in the back, don't park at the corner shopping center, your car will be towed. Definitely recommend, come check it out! read more

Opens late at night is the biggest plus for us. The servers are always kind and knowledgeable. More importantly they are patient with dietary restrictions and slight deviations to their dishes. The taste is authentic and expertly made. The chef puts a lot of work into carefully crafted excellent dishes. Everything is superb, hence the high reviews. We frequently eat here despite not loving the area. read more

made a reservation on a sunday night which i highly recommend doing as they can get fully booked during peak dinner hours (6:30-8pm). the restaurant is pretty small and only has a few tables. food was pretty good but was not spicy/numbing at all. i'm not really complaining since i don't like numbing spice that much but flagging for those who yearn for numbing spice. all of the dishes were flavored well. my favorite was the sour fish soup which tasted just like tom yum soup but i love tom yum so i really enjoyed it. i also really liked the spicy chicken cold dish. it was super flavorful and again, not that spicy lol. the mapo tofu was my least favorite. it was flavorless and was just very meh. the service here was great. everyone was super nice and accommodating. the ambience is also very modern and artsy looking, a bit like a speakeasy vibe. read more

We had a reservation on a Saturday at 6:30pm and got seated right away. Each dish was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. Don't worry if you don't eat spicy - a lot of the dishes aren't that spicy although they do look pretty red in the pictures. - Miao Sour Soup - fish filet: not spicy and the filets are boneless! Fish filet are super tender and I love the veggies in there as well (bean sprouts, broccoli, among others) - sautéed vegetables with garlic sauce: the veggies are so fresh and the sauce is cooked to perfection! If you like garlic, this is a must! - dragon style chili oil roasted duck: duck is super tender and comes with lots of different varieties of veggies! It's not super spicy but does have a kick! Portion is really good! - orange zest mung bean soup: highly recommend! It's super refreshing with tons of mung beans at the bottom. It's not overly sweet at all and perfect to go along with the rest of the dishes. There aren't a ton of tables inside but there's one or two bigger tables if you have a big party! There's free parking shared with the motel. You'll see a sign outside - make sure you are not parking at the other lot to the left of the restaurant. read more

Hengry - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

This place is so freaking cute! The decor is like nothing else when coming into a Chinese restaurant. Food is more on the spicier side, but so tasty and yummy! My favorite was the soup with the fish! Gary was our person who guided us through the whole menu. He was the only one during lunch that was helping multiple tables and never felt that we were abandoned. Parking is right next door, cute little spot, highly recommend coming here with friends or even a party (they have a small party room fits 15 people)! read more

Went to Hengry Restaurant in Alhambra for a friend's birthday. The food was great but what I loved even more was the eclectic dining area. They had comfy chairs, vibrant colors, and original artwork on the walls. The place was giving upscale cafe vibes. It's the kind of place where you can eat and lounge for a while. The dishes were on the pricer side, as far as Chinese food goes. There were some chef specials that were out of our price range. The staff are wonderful and attentive. My favorite dishes were the crispy eggplant with shrimp paste and the sauté shrimp with sliced potatoes. I would definitely go back if I was entertaining or for a very special occasion. read more

This is an amazing spot. We are so excited to find this unique Yunnan restaurants in LA! The Miao sour soup - fish fillets is a must have! It has a unique sour tastes but not too overpowering. Their other dished are great too, we ordered the Charred chilli beef- spicy yet amazing. I think I don't need to drive down 2 hours to Chef fei, this one is good enough! I had salted vegetable with Garlic sauce ( we picked A choy)- it is surprisingly great- really such simplest dish tells you whether the cook is solid or not. Some extra background about Yunnan dishes: Yunnan sits between Sichuan and Thailand, so its dishes have the best of too worlds! People, come check it out! read more

** TLDR: Nice dinner spot with good vibes, good eats. Some dishes a tad too salty / spicy. Seating may feel "low" but otherwise enjoyed every visit here. Adding Hengry to my regular list of restaurant rotations! ** - - - - - - I discovered Hengry by accident and stopped by with a friend who never had Chinese food. Naturally, we ordered a ton of staples (stir fried veggies, Dragon-Style Chili wonton, potato appetizer, etc.) but of course had to get the House Fried Rice and Miao Sour Soup (Fish Fillet). The restaurant was packed when we walked in even at 7pm; thankfully, we were able to find a table for two within 20 minutes. Our server was very patient, and the iPad for ordering had Chinese and English. The atmosphere was very "loungey" and highly decorated - lightly lit to provide a more private / cozy atmosphere. The chairs were comfy, though at times too low for arms. We started with the Miao Sour Soup (Fish Fillet) which my friend devoured - and he hates fish! Needless to say, A+ for sweet and sour, not spicy at all. Our chilled potatoes were tasty, the perfect amount of flavor and crispy. The wontons? I generally pass on these, but they were GOOD. These are a tad on the spicier end, though I did enjoy the snow pea leaf. We had A-choy for veggies, and these were a classic, tasty staple that were flavored just right. The House Fried Rice... was very tasty but also a tad spicier than expected, sending my friend (who generally handles spice) into a barrage of coughs - definitely funny to witness. Paying was fairly straightforward, with tap as an option. Afterwards, the staff provided a coupon for a future visit, which I did revisit and try their Braised Pork Belly with Mustard Greens and Stir Fried beef. These were unfortunately both on the saltier end and weren't as tasty as the first visit. read more

I would've never found this hidden hole in a wall spot on my own, but my friends had a coupon so I was down to try & it's a bit of a mistake The spot is very cute. It's decorated like a lounge. Very hard to find, no signs on the back door. Service is good. Nothing wrong there. Best dishes for me were the eggs and the kung pao chicken. The shredded potatoes were flavored well, but very thick cut compared to home made. I usually love Szechuan cuisine and have it once a week, but this place was way too spicy for most of us and we all had . I had to call out of work the next day great if you like a challenge, but I definitely can't go back. read more

From the outside, doesn't look like much but once you set foot inside, it seems like you are transported elsewhere. The decor inside is top notch and worthy of a visit by itself. We arrived on the earlier side of dinner so were seated right away with few others inside. As time passed, there were several other parties, including a bigger event that was happening here. Seems like a place you can call ahead to try and reserve if you want some privacy while you dine. The menu is on an iPad, comes with plenty of pictures and you can place your order that way too. The food came out pretty quick though like I said, we were probably one of the fewer people here at the time of placing an order. The dishes are meant to be shared as the portion sizes are quite generous. If you aren't already familiar, this place highlights chilis in their cuisine and so many options will be on the spicier side, though in some cases the chili flavor might be more subtle but we accumulate as you keep eating. You should be able to order some dishes without spicy for the kids or spicy adverse people but I feel you would miss out on the true essence of this place. Bathrooms here are clean and nice. Parking shouldn't be too difficult with a parking lot on the west side of the place, entrance looks like you are going to a hotel/motel. I believe you can also park in front of the restaurant too, on the street. read more

this is hands down our new favorite Chinese restaurant in socal. food here is phenomenal. we tried the fermented bean curd, pork belly with dried veggies, fried potato pancake, pork and shishito stir fry, and shredded potato stir fry. absolute killer execution on all of the dishes, we didn't feel heavy as normal oily Chinese food does. we'll be back more to try other dishes! read more

​I usually don't gravitate toward authentic Chinese cuisine, especially when it comes to spicy dishes. However, I am thoroughly impressed by Hengry. ​I prefer my food simple, fresh, and mild but never bland, and they went above and beyond to accommodate my preferences. The ingredients are so high quality that they don't need heavy seasoning to mask them. The natural flavors really shine. The portion sizes are decent, and the owner is incredibly hospitable. You can tell he truly cares about the dining experience and makes you feel like a special guest from the moment you walk in. ​I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Love the name of this restaurant - if you are Hangry, come to Hengry! They serve up traditional Guizhou - Miao style cuisine, which is quite different than the "regular" Chinese food that one would associate with. For one, they specialize in Miao hot spicy soup, which contains the unique Guizhou-Miao pepper oil with a citrusy aroma. Leo (the owner) and his staff were welcoming and friendly throughout our dining experience. Leo was happy to explain the menu/dishes to us. You order on this tablet at the table; ours had a problem where after we submitted the order, it erased, prompting us to have to resubmit our orders. Other than this minor issue, our overall experience here was fantastic. The ambiance was eclectic, yet comforting. I didn't really get the art work around the walls of the restaurant, but it still worked. As for the food, don't judge - we ate like pigs ... 1. Twice-cooked Pork (5/5) Pork belly that's twice cooked meaning the pork is 1st boiled to tenderize the meat, followed by a 2nd cooking in a wok to make the edges crispy. Well it sure was cooked to perfect crisp and tenderness while giving off a pleasant spicy-roasted flavor. 2. House-fried rice (5/5) Seriously one of the best fried rices I've had. It's very fragrant and peppery, but not too salty. It contains pork-bacon, Chinese sausage, black beans, egg, and green onion. Pairs well with the salted duck dish 3. Salted Duck (5/5) Salt marinated duck that is then boiled/simmered in hot water and finally chilled to give it that dry-aged meat flavor, but yet tenderness and melt-in-your mouth skin. It paired perfectly with the housemate sweet-fermented spicy sauce. Also goes well with the house fried rice. 4. Sichuan Beef and Tripe (5/5) The beef and tripe were fresh and had a good smokey, sichuan pepper oil flavor. The added fresh cilatro and green onions added a refreshing herby kick. 5. Egg Foo Young (5/5) The name of this dish was a bit misleading because egg foo young usually means egg pancake omelette. This is actually steamed egg. The egg was steamed to perfection and it was not "eggy". It is served in light soy with sesame oil sauce and garnished with green onions. 6. Spicy Fish Mint Salad (4/5) Chinese lettuce with a dressing that seemed to be a combination of fish sauce, chili oil, mint, garlic and cilantro. When it first came out, it actually smelled like marijuana (skunk smell), but that quickly dissipated and then you just smell the pleasant aroma of sesame oil. It's kind of a weird dish, but in my opinion, it's unique and still quite enjoyable. Overall, it's light, refreshing, and minty. 7. Miao Sour Soup with lamb (5/5) The lamb was not too gamey, but it was a bit tough, mainly because it's been cooking in the hot pot. Unlike beef, lamb meat gets tougher the longer it cooks. Fortunately, it is sliced very thin, so it is still relatively easy to eat. The soup base was one-of-a-kind amazing made from crushing Miao peppers. It's very citrusy, tangy, and surprisingly, not too spicy despite the intense visual redness of it. The chili oil broth is the good fragrant - aromatic spicy, not just pure heat. This chili oil is unique in that it has a lemongrass flavor that gives the soup flavor that's reminiscent of tom yum. 8. Fried Stuffed Eggplant with Shrimp Paste (4.5/5) Never thought egg plant and shrimp paste would ever go together, but they made it work. The egg plant batter was fried to a perfect crisp and you can taste the batter dough flavor, which I personally like. My bestie said "it's almost like eating a cookie with shrimp inside" - lol. The house-made sweet-tangy sauce paired well reminding me a bit of eating sweet and sour fried fish fillet. 9. Stir-fried Kidney and Liver with Pickled Chili (5/5) Personally, I am not a fan of eating organ meats, but my bestie who does, said it was "good-quality, fresh kidney and liver. The sauce was gingery and spicy." Pairs well with the house fried rice 10. Fried Tofu Balls (5/5) Each order comes with 4 tofu balls. The tofu balls were lightly fried on the outside to a nice crisp, while the inside was tofuie and spongelike to absorb the heavenly spicy-tangy, cilantro-y, sesame oil sauce that came on the side. A+++ dining experience. We'll be coming back to try out more dishes. read more

Yes! It really is all that! Ambiance, service and food all 5 stars! The ambiance is really cool, I don't know how to describe it. Funky art, and modernist sofas and chairs to sit on. Very nice vibe! The owner recommended we try the fish soup - it's native to his home region. It was fantastic! Of all the dishes we had, this one really met the portion size for family style well. Everything else was delicious. Fried rice, scallion pancake, king pao chicken, and I can't remember the rest but it was all really good! And he was very informative, the service attentive, Friendly but not over bearing. We were there past close and never felt rushed. Group of 5, we each ordered an item, plus we had an appetizer and a few sodas. $134. Not bad for a place this memorable! read more

Hengry - Miao sour soup with Hot and Sour Fish Stew 2.5lb (酸汤鱼2.5磅) - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Took my parents here for dinner, which they were very skeptical about the place since the parking lot was at a motel. Not a very nice looking motel either haha. Walking inside the restaurant, its definitely way different than what you may expect. I actually like how the restaurant has a distinct 'hotel like' smell, not mainly like food. We ordered the Miao Sour Soup with Fish Fillet, Scallion Pancake, Fish Fragrant Shredded Pork, and this other Pork Belly dish. The customers here are also very diverse, a good amount of non-Asians, and more Chinese Chinese, so it does give it a authentic Chinese cuisine. So I never had this type of style before, so all the dishes to me were pretty sour. Everything was pretty interesting to try, but something i'm not quite used to? I think it's okay but maybe not for me haha. My mom actually really enjoyed the Miao Sour Soup, she enjoyed the soup a lot! The fish fillets were pretty soft. Scallion Pancake didn't taste too fried, which it actually tasted more flour-y? It was on the thicker batter side, but I feel like this could have been cooked longer. I think I may have enjoyed the shredded pork and the pork belly dish the most. Although, a lot of the dishes are verrryyy oily. Definitely makes you feel greasy after. Service was pretty good. The waiters here act quite elegant for just Chinese food. It's definitely an interesting spot to try! read more

Hengry - Miao Sour Soup with Fish Fillet and Scallion Pancake - Chinese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Tucked next to a hotel in Alhambra is a restaurant serving Guizhou / Miao style cuisine. I myself am not knowledgeable about this type of Chinese food but Leo provided excellent service and knowledge regarding it. If I'm remembering correctly, the regions distinct mountain peppers are pressed into an oil that provides (in my description) an intense almost citrusy flavor, as if Thai tom yum had a baby with Szechuan spice in a surprisingly refreshing yet hot and savory soup base. It results in an addictive flavor that I've honestly never had before! The decor and ambiance were fantastic as well and I appreciated the eclectic artworks strewn about the restaurant. Would definitely love to come back and try more regional specialties. read more

What a wonderful addition to the SGV food scene! My family and I had lunch here yesterday and we cannot say enough good things about our experience! Firstly, Leo, the owner, is a gem. Incredibly warm, hospitable, and helpful. The space is chic and inviting with interesting and eclectic art on the walls. And the FOOD! This was our first time trying Guizhou cuisine and we are now huge fans. We ordered: -- Potato pancakes -- Fried eggplant with shrimp paste -- Lettuce with sesame oil -- Pork with peppers (possibly shishito?) -- Charred beef with tofu We thoroughly enjoyed each and every dish and even ordered another pork w/ peppers and lettuce w/ sesame oil to take home! Oh, and Leo very kindly made us a bowl of their famous sour soup to try since we didn't order any. Super interesting and unusual dish. He also allowed us to try a few flavors of their ice cream (green tea, ube, strawberry), all of which were delicious but the green tea was the best. We enjoyed our meal and overall experience so much, we are already planning a trip back this coming weekend. And we live an hour away! So that should tell you how much we liked it. ;) read more

The owner (or partner) guy is very polite and friendly! He explained to me how the restaurant named Hengry as: Henry is hungry The only one waiter looks very busy doing the cleaning and dishes serving, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to any customers needs or asking if we need anything as of a courtesy's working in such of a higher-end restaurant... 1) Miao Sour Soup-fish filet 特色鳕魚酸湯：4.5-star Fish flakes are fresh n tender. Soup offers a light touch of fermented Roman tomato mixing w/similar to lemongrass kinda flavors to brings out the soul of this food items. Sliced Lotus root, seaweed, bean sprouts and wood fungus. It's not so greasy nor rich, yet it's very satisfied! 2). Fish Mint Salad 涼拌魚腥草 4-star I wd give it 5-star if it's not so salty... Crunchy marinated Fish Mint in sesame oil, vinegary sauces is very refreshing. 3). Sautés Mixed mushroom 4-star Various mushrooms, Especially Velvet mushroom is so delish. Love it as the dish did not come in watery as of other places... it's simple yet full of flavors. 4) scallion pan cake 4-star Crispy fluffy delish, it's perfectly to pair with/the above dishes! read more

Went here to celebrate pre-Thanksgiving dinner with some friends and we had a blast! Glad that they were able to squeeze us in for about 1-1.5hrs before 7pm reservation. The restaurant itself is not your typical Chinese restaurant, in our opinion, the restaurant is pretty fancy and very decorated with a lot of arts. We ordered about 5 different dishes, and all of them are delicious although some of them are too spicy for me. However, according to my friends who like spicy food, they are good. They have parking structure at the back and plenty of space too. read more

Let me just start by saying, this restaurant was so surprisingly good. We were genuinely blown out of our mind with how savory their dishes were. First with the chinese pancake, it tasted fresh, crispy and hot. I love my chinese pancakes like that 100% . Even though it wasn't the main dish, just baze on that, I gave it an A+. Then came the charred chilly beef, which was a classic Guaizhou dish, it was so tasty and the beef was so tender. It was not spicy per say, but it totally hit the right spot. We also ordered a miao Offal sour soup and that was so delightful with the broth with just the perfect taste of sourness which we mixed into our rice. And let's not forget the cured pork belly with bun, what an absolutely delicious guaizhou dish. With the cured pork belly sandwiched between the mini buns along with the chinese 炸菜in between, it tasted like heaven. Maybe that's a little exaggeration, but surely it was SO GOOD. Service was topnotch and ambience was cozy and the decor was nothing short of artistic vibe. Will be back with a huge group of people to try all other dishes. My main mission is to order all their dishes. Muahahahhahaha. read more

I had been eyeing this place for a while and finally got to try it for lunch. There was plenty of seating and no wait when we arrived for lunch on Wednesday. You order everything with an iPad at your table. The service was fast and friendly. There's plenty of parking behind the restaurant next to the hotel including covered parking and an upper level. We ordered: Miao Sour Soup with Fish Fillets: Very uniquely flavored tomato-based soup with pieces of white fish, mushrooms, lotus root, bean sprouts, seaweed, scallions, and other vegetables. It had a very strong lemongrass flavor. It looks spicy but it was not at all, as I think the red is from tomatoes. I've never had this combination of flavors before so it was definitely worth trying. The soup is served in a large metal dish with a flame keeping it hot. It's probably enough to serve 4 or 5 people. Potato Pancakes: An appetizer with 3 small potato pancakes which were crispy outside and kind of like mashed potatoes inside. Good. Came with a little bit of cabbage and chili powder. Scallion Pancake: I had thought this would be a different take than the usual but it was pretty standard, not a lot of flavor. Stir-Fried Crispy Pork With Diced Potato: Fried diced potatoes with small fried pork bits, chilies, scallions, garlic and ginger. Mostly potatoes. Just slightly spicy. Overall, a unique restaurant to check out if you're interested in trying different kinds of Chinese food. read more

Hengry serves bold and vibrant flavors of Guizhou cuisine. It is located in the City of Alhambra. I was previously here for a dinner event. The food was so good. I wanted to return to offer my patronage and support. I arrived at Hengry 15 minutes prior to closing. I got lucky and was able to still place an order. Upon entry, no one was at the hostess stand. A minute or so later, a staff member walked by and I asked him if I could place an order to-go. He asked me to wait and then he went inside the kitchen. Another young gentleman came out to take my order. He was the owner, Leo. He was pleasant and nice. I got a total of 3 dishes as shown below. Wait time was about 15 minutes or so which wasn't too bad. 1. Chinese Lettuce in Sesame Oil - Hands down the BEST vegetable dish ever! Very fresh and crunchy. It has a slight spicy kick to it especially with all the red chili peppers. Great portions. MUST GET EVERY TIME! 2. Stir-Fried Mixed Mushrooms with Red Pepper - Delicious with lots of different types of mushrooms. Flavor was on point! Good portions. Another MUST GET EVERY TIME! 3. Twice Cooked Pork - This one was okay. The pork slices were a little bit tough IMHO. Flavor was good though. I probably won't get this one again. Ambiance is beautiful with all the creative wall artwork. They have different kinds of indoor seating such as loungers, chairs, and bar stools. Inside space is very comfortable and relaxing. Free parking is available behind this restaurant. They do share the parking lot with the hotel to the right of them. Do not park in the plaza that is to the left of them as your car may be towed. Please read the signs. Highly recommend Hengry! If you're up for a new and exciting fine dining experience that comes with a creative twist in Guizhou style, this place is for you! read more

A fantastic dining experience! There is free parking, which is always nice and they seat you within five minutes of your arrival. It was full of people when we got there but they get everyone in and out and you don't feel rushed at all. There were even people sitting at the bar that was super friendly and they were talking about their favorites. They were clearly regulars. I got a Sauvignon Blanc at the bar and it was a generous pour. They have an iPad for you to put in your order to send to the kitchen and I'm telling you be ready to eat when you hit send because the food comes out within five minutes one after the other. It was amazing and we had such a feast! We even peaked in the private room, which looks stunning and very intimate. We love the insight, art of the restaurant, the LED fireplace , and all the abstract statement pieces. The owner and the manager Mark are so nice and friendly. They really make you feel comfortable and they are very relatable. Now let's get into the food: Chicken dumplings were a 10 out of 10. Can't go wrong with chicken and dumplings. A great flavor. Mix veggie soup was my favorite as it had cauliflower, bok choy, and other mixed veggies. The broth was so tasty, and it was shareable amongst three other people. The cucumber smash was a 10 out of 10. It was so light and refreshing. I love the garlic pieces in the dish and it wasn't overpowering at all. I even had leftovers to take home. The potato scallion pancake came out very fresh. It is light and fluffy. Not a dense writing at all. I like the scallion flavor and eating it with my rice. The mushroom sour soup came highly recommended by the manager. It was pretty good. Especially if you like mushrooms. All the mushrooms were cooked well and the soup was tasty but I wish it was spicier. They do have spicy options, however so I make it that next time. It is huge and shareable for a whole table. Highly recommend if you want something hardy The spicy fried rice was delicious. I wish it was spicier, but that's because I can handle a lot of spice. It was a great balance with the egg and other mixed ingredients. Rice was cooked perfectly. The jumbo shrimp was just what the name says. It wasn't seasoned or had really any flavor just regular steam jumbo shrimp. He came to soy sauce with clothes with garlic in it, which she gave it the flavor and eat it. Still very juicy and well picked shrimp quality. Kung PAO chicken was not my favorite, but I love the nuts in the dish. It had these chili pieces in it. I think that was throwing the flavor off to me, but it has a lot of spices in it so if you like spices and dishes for you. The bell peppers were well cooked in this dish. Everything I had was absolutely delicious. You must try that edamame with garlic as well and grab a drink as you're dying here. It is such a cool vibe for a date night or a group outing. I will be back! read more

A hidden gem in Alhambra! Was not expecting this from the outside looks. Food is very authentic, great flavors but not overly salty. And surprisingly not that spicy. Decor is superb, chairs and couches are comfy. Plenty of parking in the hotel next door. read more

Hengry curbed our hungriness! We loved our dinner so much. As someone who's not a huge fan of spicy food or mala, I throughly enjoyed every dish (even the spicy ones). Our standout favorites were the spicy fish stew, chinese lettuce, and cured pork belly. They were flavorful and deliciously balanced. For the kid in our group, we ordered the non-spicy hometown beef noodle. It was also very "clear" (like clear beef noodle soup). The staff was super helpful and accommodating. We came for my dad's birthday and enjoyed some complimentary ice cream after dinner. The interior was comfortable and nicely decorated with a pop-art type of feel. We had an amazing time and WILL BE BACK!! read more

Came here on Friday night. Didn't expect a full house. I waited about 30 minutes for a table of two. I will be sure to make rsvp next time. The restaurant has a refined, modern vibe filled with Guizhou-inspired art. I ordered: Miao Sour Soup - Fish Fillets ($28) Huge portion! Tangy, lemony flavor from Litsea cubeba oil -- so appetizing. Cured Pork Belly w/ Garlic Sprouts ($23) Homemade smoked pork belly, stir-fried with garlic sprouts -- super fragrant and perfect with rice. Fried Tofu Ball ($10) Many table had this appetizer. Crispy tofu fritters stuffed with seasoning inside. Potato Pancake ($9) Crispy outside, soft inside -- pairs perfectly with the pickled veggies & chili powder. House Fried Rice ($18) Grain by grain, packed with flavor. Chilled Spicy Chicken ($16) Classic red chili oil chicken -- spicy and addictive. I will probably come back for cured pork belly, chilled spicy chicken, and maybe try another kind of Miao sour soup. Service was excellent -- attentive and warm. They offered free lychee & matcha ice cream for birthday. Overall experience was great, food tasted decent, price was reasonable, ambience was nice. Restaurant shared parking with motel, read more

Stopped in for lunch on a whim; easy street parking, plus a lot in back. A very modern Chinese restaurant; I have to admit I'm not familiar with Guizhou cuisine, but everything we had was great. I especially liked the braised pork with mustard greens: tender and flavorful pork with mild mustard greens made a great combination. I'll have to go back to broaden my exposure to Guizhou food! read more

We ordered a sour fish soup but there were only two of us. Not a single regret as we finished it all. The flavoring was spot on and not too spicy or salty. Paired it with a pork belly with green mustard rice plate lunch special and we were very happy. Will return with more people. Food came out quickly! read more

I was in the area on July 23rd and decided to stop for dinner. When you step inside it's like an oasis and escape from the noise and traffic. The beautiful and artsy decor and furnishings are so colorful and comfy. Leo, the Owner, greeted me and ushered me to a table, even though I was dining alone and initially going to sit at the bar. He was so friendly and spoke about the recent Taste of Alhambra event that the restaurant participated in. I'm so sorry to have missed it, I will try to attend next year. I ordered the lettuce wraps, with stir-fried minced chicken and pickled cabbage, veggies and onions. The filling was nicely seasoned and tasty. I also had the pork and cabbage potstickers with green-onions and soy sauce for dipping (8 pieces in a single order).
