Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. Do not waste your time or money here…read more The moment we walked into Fu's Restaurant, it felt like stepping into a sauna. It was 79 degrees inside, muggy, humid, and completely uncomfortable. We almost turned around and left immediately. The place was practically empty, which honestly should have been our first red flag. We decided to give them a chance anyway. Big mistake. My colleague and I were offered water or hot tea. We both ordered hot tea. The menu clearly says in English that hot tea is $2.99. Nowhere does it clearly explain in English that you will be charged differently depending on how many people drink it. When the bill came, we were charged $5 each. Apparently, there is some clarification written in Chinese, but how are customers who do not read Chinese supposed to know that? That is completely misleading. The tea portions were not larger, not special, nothing different. Just basic tea. The pricing felt deceptive. We also ordered popcorn chicken and chili wonton soup. Both came out in tiny portions that looked like appetizers, yet the menu does not clearly label them as such. For what we received, paying over $30 total felt ridiculous. The food itself was mediocre at best. Nothing memorable and definitely not worth the price. Because of the uncomfortable temperature, confusing pricing, small portions, and average food, we chose not to leave a tip. As we were walking out, the waiter chased us outside and pressured us about the zero tip. That is completely inappropriate. Tipping is not mandatory. It is earned. Confronting customers outside over a tip is unprofessional and embarrassing. Between the heat, the questionable menu pricing, the small portions, and being confronted outside, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. We will never be back. There are plenty of better places within the same plaza than to dine here. I don't expect this place to last long anyway.

Stopped by for dinner and tried the 8 piece pan fried fish dumplings with coriander and the…read morescallion pancakes ($8.95). The price point felt very fair, especially with the dumplings coming in at $14.85. Ambiance was casual and clean, jazz music with nice wall art. ​The food was good, the scallion pancakes were perfect for splitting between us. I also really appreciated the balanced portion control; it felt like just the right amount of food without being overwhelming. We were only ones in the restaurant near end of business on a Sunday night. Service speed was expected as cook to order. Definitely a good spot if you're looking for a simple and reasonable meal in Walnut or near Mt. San Antonio College. FYI photos are of the wall art, food was devoured.

Their menu has grown so much since they first opened. They also have lunch specials that come with miso soup, a chef salad, and unlimited steamed rice when you dine in. We ordered the seared salmon and avocado bowl and the Japanese chashu don. The salmon and avocado bowl had a bit too much sauce for me but, overall, we enjoyed our dishes. The inside is small with just a few tables and the staff is kind. If you're looking for a casual spot with a variety of food options I definitely recommend stopping by Picnic Time Cafe!

They also have a lot of new items on the menu. I first ordered the seared salmon Yubu and also ordered their Gunkan sushi. I picked a potato & corn salad and a crab & avocado sushi. The service was a little bit slow, because there were only 2 tables had customers. I've waited for my to-go order for about 20 minutes. However, the food was fresh and delicious, though. The server was friendly. I will go back there again to try other stuff on their new menu.

Their pan fried buns are…read morethe best I've had in OC (my fave in the US is in Flushing NY), so that's always a dish I have to order. Their mala beef noodle soups are solid, the broth is rich and the noodles are firm enough. The restaurant has very generous portions for their appetizers. The seaweed app is a heaping mountain and the popcorn chicken always comes on a large plate. Their drinks are also big so it's great to share with the group. There's generally no wait when we go, weekdays or weekend. Otherwise we get seated pretty quickly after a small wait. Service is super quick with piping hot dishes.

Thumbling (West Covina) ALWAYS overflows with customers. It's sincerely delicious and affordable,…read morebut the long wait times always dissuade me from dining in. However, if you order To-Go, the process is very EASY and smooth. On a weekday, I ordered the Crab Roe & Pork Xiao Long Bao ($15 - 8 Pieces), Fish & Coriander Dumplings ($14 - 8 Pieces), Shanghai Shrimp and Pork Wonton ($15), and Crab Meat Egg White Soup ($15) on the phone for To-Go. The lady on the phone spoke fluent English, and she spoke with an upbeat and cheerful personality. My food was ready for pickup in 30 minutes. Concerning parking, it's not too bad. Parking is available but competitive. The location has many cars searching for spots since this plaza includes the popular 85 degrees bakery. When I'd arrived that Monday, there was already a HUGE line of people waiting for Dine-In. I just walked in to approach the counter. Staff requested my phone number for pickup, and Staff moved very efficient and business-like. Regarding the food, it was DIVINE. The flavors and textures were impeccable. I happily feasted. The dumplings, wontons, and xia long bao all had the springy, sought-for texture. And each piece was STUFFED with fresh ingredients. SO TASTY! And the Crab Meat soup overflowed with crab and hot liquid which left me satisfied and full. I felt so happy... Overall, Thumbling (West Covina) continues to be a must-try if in the area. The food is very authentic, affordable, and delicious. Personally, I'd only order for To-Go since the crowds are a bit intense, but Thumbling (West Covina) deserves all the love. 5 out of 5. If curious, just go.

Visited 5/20/26 -…read moreBlack Pepper Udon with Chicken 17 Typically eat this with beef but it was decent with chicken, for those being mindful abt red meat! Flavor is good, I honestly thought it was Hong Kong cafe level good. - Chicken XLBs 11 I would definitely opt to get this in pork only moving forward. I would say this was almost passing.. Skin was on the thicker side so no spillage! - Pan Friend Pork Dumplings 10 Not pictured but I always have to get this. I love that they add a dumpling skirt and the presentation was beautiful. Usually a dumpling purist, who only uses vinegar but it comes with a thick sweet sauce that was too good to pass up! - Cucumber Salad 7 Standard, I love that the plated it like DTF. On the more flavorful side, if my picky vegetables eaters are wondering. Would get again. You queue outside with their touchpad, no yelp waitlist. You also order with QR code. The staff were SUPER tentative about the water. I went on a monday so not busy but be careful on weekends for long queues! Didn't get boba this time but usually opt for the fruit teas! If you are in the IE and dont want to go all the way into SGV, thumbling is the go to!

Today's options were sesame-garlic chicken, braised pork, or mushroom-bamboo fish. It came with the soup, rice, cabbage, bamboo and tomato-egg as sides. Everything was solid. Tasty, cooked well, and really the perfect lunch for me since it reminded me of evening childhood dinners. And for $11, it's really a steal.

It has been a LONG time since I've been here! My mother wanted some vegetarian/vegan food so I was…read moresearching for a good place to bring her and then I remembered SV. They used to have made-to-order food but now they switched to buffet style. It's small but it's special since it's the only veg buffet in the area. I think it's a wonderful and fun switch. I haven't had a "good" buffet experience since I started eating vegetarian 8 years ago!! When we go to a normal buffet, the options are so limited (even more when you're vegan) but it can't be helped if the rest of your party wants to go and aren't veg. The food tastes pretty decent and "clean." Nothing feels super artificial or incredibly greasy or unhealthy. I think the only thing I wasn't fond of was the bok choy because it was a tad over-salted. I would love to go back and try their instant ramen bar too! They had two noodle machines and a toppings bar. On the other side of it is where you can choose from three drinks and add in drink toppings as well. They had milk tea, a Taiwanese black tea, and an herbal tea. All drink options were on the sweeter side so if sweet isn't your thing then just stick to water! Service is mainly just when you walk in and pay for the food so I can't speak much on it. It's self-serve and you throw away your own plates, bowls, and utensils as they are disposable types. I personally think it'd be better to switch to reusable because it would make less waste but I suppose they offer what they can handle within their means. I would definitely come here again!

Big big fan of this Taiwanese establishment. Go-to order is the ruroufan (pictured: comes with rou song, ground meat, and suancai toppings that I got on the side) and popcorn chicken, and occasionally the bentos - honestly, can't go wrong here. I absolute adore the ru rou fan and I highly suggest ordering it for anyone new to this establishment. Popcorn chicken is great as well, and we'll also order one of the sizzling plate dishes. Never had it myself but my brother is a fan, and it always has the most delicious aroma wafting from the pan. Give this restaurant a shot and I promise you won't regret it

The beef was very thin and too soft...not the texture I expected. Noodle was overcooked. Also got the salt and pepper chicken...nice, big juicy pieces of chicken but needed more seasoning. Overall, not a bad choice if you are craving Taiwanese night market steaks since the choices are limited in So Cal. :)

The rice and minced pork was super good. Good sweetness and texture. The chow fun was good but I think I would have preferred soy sauce option over the black bean option.

I also like the ambiance and service was also pretty good! the food did not take that long to come out. Everything was pretty affordable and parking was really simple to find as well! Overall, I would recommend going to this place! I think most people would really enjoy it!
