    I ordered the fried chicken tenders and a braised beef noodle soup. It was good overall, service was good as well, one thing about the environment is it smell a bit like bleach and cleaning products..

    Beef soup noodles

    My wife was craving beef soup noodles, while I was craving some type of rice dish. I looked at various restaurants in this area, and saw an interesting and small restaurant in Alhambra. So I decided to come give Hero's Kitchen a try. The restaurant is very small, and the menu has some interesting translations. However the staff were super nice and explained all the questions about the menu. My wife, as expected, got the beef noodle soup. I got the braised pork rice that came with 3 poached eggs. The food took a while, but it was worth the wait. The braised pork rice was a bit on the salty side, but I loved the runny eggs and broke them into the rice. The restaurant allows one refill of rice, but the dish already had so much rice that I felt no reason to ask for refills. My wife did get a refill of broth though. Overall a solid restaurant, if a bit small, but the food was tasty.

    Fast food style, mostly I see to go customers (or p/u for 鸥鸟里呢orders delivery) 1). Stinky tofu: 0-star Terrible tofu as out of can! Tough skin Chewy no flavor! 2) Chicken rice-1star. Poor cooking skill. Rice and chicken gets no connection in flavors. Super Bad! It's not gonna be survived

    Foods was delicious. I recommend for others to try. I will be returning to try more of their dishes.

    I can't believe that I paid $14.99+tax for a full bowl of rice. 99 Ranch having better taste than here. My son who is a rice lover spat the rice right out. Sad.... Never coming back again.

    Long Jiang Pork Knuckle over rice

    Been craving for some comfort food and stumbled across this small place on Valley. The pork knuckle rice really hit the spot. It's pretty big portion and very flavorful. The sour pickled bean and fatty pork blended well into a good balance. It has a nice outdoor dining area. Not sure if it's dog friendly. My dogs gave a paw up for the pork knuckle. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

    mashed potato rice

    old school restaurant serving old school northern chinese street food. their mashed potato rice is so good. it's gooy, hearty and warm. perfect for winter night. the ambiance reminiscent of the old northern china street stalls. definitely will be back.

    Very good taste and food quality. Enjoy having lunch here. Rice dishes are all tasty. The waitress has a good attitude.

    Restaurant

    Everything is so good!! Good taste of foods and drinks. I highly recommend you to come if you're looking to explore authentic Chinese street food.

    Wow I wish I lived closer to this restaurant because I would be coming back here as a regular…read more Everything we ordered was delicious. The standouts for me were the dandan noodles and beef roll (I just love how much cilantro there was). The dandan noodles were super peanutty. The chili oil for the spicy wontons had a very nice kick to it that left my mouth tingling. I was so stunned when the green tea came out in the giant beer glass since I had no warning. My live reaction was just pure shock. Great value for that volume of green tea, it's shareable between two people maybe even three. I wonder how many oz are in that thing!!

    Some items here are the best like the popcorn chicken, fried squid, shao long bao, and fried bao…read more The squid is the best that I've had in the states. It tastes like the huge ones you get in China. It's tender and has a perfect batter to it. I even went back the following week to get that flavor in my mouth again. Everything else we ordered was soso. The udon noodles did not have much taste. The spicy wonton had a weird taste and spicy taste to it. The beef roll had no flavor. The meat was really tender, but the wrap was too soft. The beef noodle soup had tender meat in it, but didn't have much taste to it. It was very average. The service is good here. Very fast and polite. It is a small busy restaurant. Get ready to wait. HAPPY SQUIDING!

    The speed at which our dishes came out was in lightning. I was aghast at how fast we were served…read moreall four entrees in the time span of a bathroom trip in the hallway. Like holy smokes, are the chefs on steroids back there? A salute to their efficiency and time management. Family ordered the Thai fried rice, house special fish fillet, pork chop with Peking sauce, and a tofu dish I do not know the name of. The fish fillet was most definitely running the show here. It was heavenly with every bite. My brother and I had to practically restrain ourselves from demolishing the entire plate. Another deep nod to the chef's magnificent craftsmanship. Order this for a taste of no regrets. The servers were absolutely amazing. For a typical Chinese restaurant, it is pretty standard to be served and for the most part ignored unless you needed something specific. However, the servers here were right in the middle of the horrendous lunch rush, and yet they still managed to carry out gestures that genuinely touched me- one of the waitresses waited at the door and held it open for us when my mom returned from the restroom because they could see that my mom had limited mobility. The guy serving us also made sure he was always giving her ample room to move around amidst all the chaos and commotion of the restaurant. Considering the tables and chairs are inches apart from each other too, we were pretty cramped. I asked another worker for utensils later on, and he was genuinely so sweet going about it, patient and smiling. Service here really warmed my heart, which was such a bonus. The setting was probably the most intriguing part. I am not familiar about the history of this particular location, but considering the walls in the hallway had old newspaper articles and images of the establishment from who knows how many decades ago, I would say it's teetering on the edge of being a museum in itself. Makes for a cool peek into history, but the run down building and yellowing, stained walls in the hallway might throw some people off who are looking to dine somewhere that has kept more in stride with modern times. This visit was fantastic from beginning to end, and all the small details really made everything come together into a wonderful synopsis of food, family, and a little extra kindness.

    Date: September 18, 2026…read more Selections: Filet Mignon Cube French Style Orange Chicken Shrimp and Egg Rice Platter HK Style Lemon Black Tea Experience: This was my third time coming here and I'm finally taking time to review this place. This time around we had a party of 8 and there was a wait, so after putting our name down, we sat outside to wait to be called. Unfortunately, since our party was big, we had to sit at back to back booths or wait for the bigger tables to open up. We were tired and hungry from serving so we decided to do the back to back booth option instead of waiting around. Each of our tables ordered their own set of food to share and were charged separately, but the other table covered the bill for us. Our table ended up sharing the Filet Mignon Cube French Style, Orange Chicken, and Shrimp and Egg Rice Platter. It was a good amount of food for the 4 of us, which was technically three since my husband had already ate beforehand. Each of the dishes were great, but I could have sworn the orange chicken was different from the first time I got it with my husband. Instead of it looking like little nuggets of chicken similar to Panda Express, it was thin pieces of chicken pieces and had a creamy taste rather than a tangy one. We also felt that there were less Filet Mignon pieces than the last time we came, which was a bit of a bummer. I had ordered a HK Style Lemon Black Tea and it was a bit bitter and sweeter than expected, but the savory food helped solved that issue when drinking and eating at the same time. Had enough leftovers to make 4 separate lunches for work and will come back next time for the Tofu Mushroom dish I got the first time I came here cause it was my favorite.
