I came here for a Nihaody event with line dancing, mahjong, and a late-night DJ. The night was quite eventful, and I thought everything was organized pretty well. There were over 10 mahjong tables set up around the venue. They also had a nice selection of vendors, with tacos outside and ice cream inside. Drinks were pricey at around $18 each, but that's kind of expected. Overall, I would come back here for another event. Parking - No issues, as their lot is fairly large. read more

I was there for New Wave 80s party. The promoting party is great! DJ was awesome. The crowd was great! The place was not bad! It was big but hot. My one point is to the bartender there. He didn't really know English and so I tried to speak to him in chinese. He didn't smile the whole night. First when we ordered drinks, he told us to input orders to their iPad ourselves. The second time around, i was trying to teach the ppl in line how to order but he ran back jacked the iPad, flipped it and slammed the iPad on the table then ran off. Then I saw him filming the party while there's a long line waiting for drinks. First we are able to order shots then later say we can only order bottles. The venue needs to be organized and maybe train the people there! read more

I came here this past Friday, Feb. 20th, for an event hosted by the SoCal Boba Run Club in which they had line dancing, mahjong and for the last hour or so (12am till 1am), a rave. The whole event was incredibly fun and well put together, the ambiance was semi well lit up during the first few hours and then the lights were fully dimmed down for the last hour (during the rave part). The staff was friendly, courteous and professional, some even helped some friends and I learn the basics of mahjong. As for food, I was too busy dancing, talking to people and trying to learn mahjong, so all I had was a soda and it was great. Will definitely be back for any future events. 10/10 venue. read more

My friends and I came by for mahjong night through East Never Loses' "Taipei Summer Night". Parking was decent, though some parked at the unofficial overflow across the street. There was a line to purchase tickets for those that didn't get them early on. Tables covered in red or flowery patterns were set up outside with plastic chairs, so they got the look just right. These were intended for more beginner friendly games, while the inside hosted seasoned players. Beautifully decorated with red lights and lanterns, fog machines, decorative trees, and wooden furniture, the interior definitely left an impression. The DJ was pumping out Cantopop from the 80s, while later on in the evening karaoke for those so inclined. On the flip side, the overall air was not too well-ventilated, and the guy's restroom was kinda dirty. My friends and I played several rounds of mahjong, learning the Taiwanese style. Waiting at times got hectic, though I'll have to admit it's funny to see new players in hysterics over their volatile luck. The number people that came out for this event might have been more than anyone could have imagined. Still, these are the vibes you'd want to get people young and younger into mahjong and old school cool. read more

I love how this place is decorated. It has mad China vibes and makes me nostalgic for when I used to live there. It has lots of dark wood and red lanterns and statues. There's no smoking signs all around but many people flout it and smoke inside. They usually have someone performing on the stage either a singer or some DJs playing like EDM stuff. It's a bit on the expensive side especially since it's in Alhambra and not like in LA but this place is a vibe. They got small plates you can order to snack on while you play dice games and shoot the shit with your friends. Service is pretty good for a Chinese place. Theres a lamp on the table and you can just wave it to get a servers attention. read more

Went for an event. Love the look in this place. Such great potential. But BIG NO to overpriced well-alcohol and mainstream beers. Maybe thats all this place has permit for and sure they gotta make a profit but then I might as well drink mini Fireball malt liquor bottles. The servers were polite enough, seemed a little lost. Hope there is more in store for this place. read more

We have only been to Jianghu twice; both times for mahjong events (By East Never Loses & Secret Mahjong Society). We don't know what Jianghu is usually like, only that the decor and spaciousness are perfect for mahjong, with the tables all being square for a start. The lighting is also not too bad and there is a separate stage area for the DJ and dancing. Unfortunately on both occasions there was no food available, and the drinks at the limited bar were phenomenally expensive. A bottle of Corona was $15! read more

One of my favorites that I love. Randomly came on a Saturday night and although the place was empty, me & my friend had the best time. They have small bites in case you get hungry. It is more of Asian spot but everyone was welcoming and the ambiance was pleasant . Definitely will be stopping by again read more

Completely surprised and impressed by this venue. Came for a birthday and had a blast. First part of the night had singers/band on stage performing mostly Chinese songs. I didn't recognize any of the music but the people around me seemed to really love it. Around midnight DJ EKG came on and really killed it!! Prices seemed a bit high for the area but cheaper than LA, $300 for a bottle of Hennessy and $80-$100 for 12 beers. $100 minimum for a small table in the middle of the restaurant and $500 for a larger booth on the side. Crowd was mostly groups of friends and mainly males. read more

We checked out this place on a whim (on a wednesday LOL) it was hip-hop night and I've never had so much fun and be surprised at how much potential this club/bar/restaurant has to be so much more! It's definitely an experience and gives me hidden gem in plain sight - this place is a hop and a skip from target. You walk in and are immediately met with a statue of buddha to your right and several other sizeable statues and i mean I personally think it had a lot of design though put into it and I appreciate it. They have Liar's Dice (for anyone who is curious of what it's called) a game that I haven't played since living in San Francisco! The people working here are pretty chill (as long as you're chill) some days though they make you pay upfront which is fine but a little inconvenient when you order as you go. Shoutout to security who is always welcoming! the food menu is limited but it does seem to change based on the few times we've come. Don't forget to check-in to claim your free shot! Also shoutout to Hao, because he's been putting those music events together! read more

Definitely a cool spot that popped up in Alhambra. We came on a Thursday night and there was a live band playing from 10-12am then a DJ 12-2am. I was pleasantly surprised at how diverse it was inside and it was a cool crowd. Cover was $10. They have imported beer and they have some generic cocktails. We had the Freestyle cocktail and it was a Maitai and I would recommend that. They only had one bartender, so the service was quite slow that day. The only negative for me was they allowed smoking inside, which was ironic because they have a led sign up for no smoking. So if you're sensitive to cigarettes, be aware of that there's smoking inside. Large parking lot, so parking wasn't an issue. Overall, fun spot. Staff were also pretty cool. read more

A confusing, but distinctly Chinese experience that was missing a few key ingredients. Came with family after a Chinese dinner (karaoke in a private room, anyone?) and wanted to continue the "high" but was disappointed with the vibes. It feels Chinese. It looks very cool in pictures (and I hear in films etc as backdrop), but is it actually fun? Uhhh... There's really no cocktails. It's too loud to hear each other. It's too loud to even play games (we tried playing dice and when you drop them--good luck finding them in the darkness under weird shaped tables). It's dark and loud but then the tables don't really have privacy so you're kind of out in the open (lounges would be more discreet). I think it was too late for food and they didn't have snack options. Boo. The alcohol menu was like beer, wine (why Caymus? So random), and liquor bottles (but not a lot to mix with it). The music was decent but it's almost like you'd have to be on drugs to enjoy it. And even though we were a random assortment, not dressed to party, we still got invited to drink with others (at their tables). Why? Because they were missing the key ingredients in these clubs (that China always has): party girls. Clubs in China will offer free table service and entrance fees for a group of party people to raise the vibes and dance. Definitely needing that here. And some promoters. So night club vibes with restaurant menus and lounge seating. Pass. read more

Beautiful decor... lots of red and gold, cute artificial Sakura trees... art pieces on various walls and statues throughout. Feels like a nightclub but more calm than it looks. I appreciate the effort made toward ambiance. They offer limited finger foods and alcohol... good customer service. Don't like that they allow smoking inside despite all the No Smoking signage... band wasn't bad, particularly the male singer was pretty good... but why slow ballads? Why slow sappy songs... it was Chinese New Year on a Saturday night... but did appreciate the DJ... however disappointingly low crowd... where's the love at, SGV!! This place deserves more love... maybe they need to promote more? Consider marketing to non-Asians too... and hire a more diverse staff... if this place was located in DTLA, Ktown, Santa Monica or West Hollywood, it would be lit. Location is everything. In any case, appreciate the hospitality! read more

This place is a hidden gem!!!!! We just hosted our parents' anniversary dinner here and this place has got it all. It's a modern Chinese vibe with a stage, sound system, lounge booths with easy to order food with QR code. They were very accommodating to our large party, food was ready in a timely manner, & they kindly delivered on all requests. Thank you, Jianghu, for making this night special for our parents. read more

Went here for the second time and it was a fun experience! Friday night at 11:30p, they had a live band singing Chinese songs (they did like 2 English covers), then at 12a the DJ started with some EDM which was a lot of fun. The servers don't speak much English as a FYI but we ordered on the app and that was great. The drinks were decent - not so many options but all good. It was pretty empty like only total 20 ppl there and it's a huge space - would be great for a big group or people who want a little less hectic experience. read more

I have been way too busy to keep up with my reviews lately, but I felt compelled to write one for Jianghu Bistro. I came here this past Friday night (9/10/21) and had a complete blast. This might be my new favorite bar in all of Los Angeles. The vibes and atmosphere are truly one of a kind. I believe this club/bar/restaurant just opened, but you wouldn't think so based on the service. I couldn't believe how quick and efficient the ordering/payment process was, or how fast the food/drinks came out. All of the servers we interacted with were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, as well. We arrived around 10:15pm, and most of the tables were still open. It did start to fill up a little once the DJ started, but the space itself is huge, so finding a table here shouldn't be an issue (at least for now, while this place is still brand new). Every table seemed to be having a great time. The energy/ambience is really on point. The music started to get a little too loud as we were finishing our last round, but the DJ was good. My only real complaint about Jianghu is the pricing. 4 small bottles of Tsingtao came out to ~$42 (after tax/tip), which is about $10.50 per beer. They are listed as $8 on the menu, but they charge an automatic 20% tip on every order. I didn't see any IPAs on the menu. There is a small discount if you buy beer by the dozen, which most of the tables were doing. If it wasn't just the two of us, we probably would have done that. Aside from the drinks, the food here is actually surprisingly great for a late night spot. I thought the spicy beef dish that we ordered was exceptional, though again, quite pricey for the quantity. Between the decor, atmosphere, drinks, food, and impeccable service, I loved my first experience at Jianghu Bistro. I really cannot wait to come back. I only wish I lived closer, and that the prices were just a little bit lower. Each table also comes with a fairly simple dice game (I forget the name), which I hadn't played since I visited Chengdu. It definitely added a lot of fun. Next time, I will come with a larger group. read more

Came here to see Madeye Moody play on a Thursday night. Wasn't sure what to expect and I am leaving kinda confused as to what this place is supposed to be. The place is definitely themed and well decorated. The drinks were a good size and not too expensive. The service was also great - really friendly and attentive. I don't know if it is just because it is a Thursday night but the place was basically empty :(. I guess I just don't really get what they are going for. There are a ton of tables since they serve real food here, but they have a DJ and clubbing lights. I don't really see a defined dance floor either. Overall, a really cool place but would probably only come back for the band bc they were great! read more

Went to a standup comedy show and it was disappointing. Granted they tried to make it interest with its decor but the show is bad. No one was funny. It costs $50 a person with advertised with meal included but the show only ran an hr when it supposed to be 2 hrs. I guess I should feel lucky given how bad the "comedians" are. I'd give them a pass since it's first time but cannot excuse the restaurant . Saying $50 with meal but all we got is stale beef fried rice after waiting an hour and a half. The show was already done for half an hr by that time. They also only bring it out because we asked about food multiple times. I wonder if the rice is leftovers because the beef is dry as jerky. The rice is salty. I don't know how the restaurant is normally but buyer beware. That's all I have to say read more

Environment: it's a pretty place to take picture with and hang out with friends and have some drink Food: all of them are delicious, but a little bit pricy. Pan fried rabbit are so good Drink: unfortunately they don't have cocktail yet, so we didn't drink, they have a good deal now, bud light is $2 per bottle and $20 for a dozen, other than this, are pricy but you come for the experience, right? Service: 20% service fee charge, I'm ok with it, cuz the server were very nice to us~ Cons: the DJ was way too loud, my friend and I need to scream to each other. ( good to bring a friend you want to date with~ cuz you have to get closer to each other) read more

Pretty fun G. Music is a little too loud, but overall the atmosphere and food is great.

This place has cool decor but other than that its a pass for me. The drink menu were limited and doesnt have any special. The music were ok, but the vibe is kinda dead. There werent many ppl there on a friday night. More than of the crowd were friends with the DJ. I didn't like that they have a $100 minimum for a table when theres barely any business as is. read more

What a surprise when I walked in during a weeknight. The atmosphere makes you feel like your in the Eastern culture. There was live music and the food was so good.

I would still go back and order new items all over again.. read more

I came across this spot on Yelp. I honestly didn't know what to expect because there was only one review and the pictures didn't really show much. I thought it was just a regular Chinese restaurant.

Recently came here on a weekend evening and it is quickly becoming a new favorite. Great vibe and delicious food that is very reasonably priced, and most importantly, it is not smoky at all inside like a lot of the other bistros offering kabobs. Very clean establishment and tastefully decorated. Definitely a hidden gem if you are looking for a relaxing and casual nighttime hang-out place. Highly recommend! read more

Very interesting spot. A friend and I were looking for late night Chinese when this popped up. I guess after 10 on the weekends it's a club. The music was unpleasantly loud and random, but the energy was still fun. Unfortunately people were smoking inside with little ventilation. There was a cover, but if you follow them on IG They let you in for free. The reason for 4 stars is the FOOD! WOW! The menu is limited at night. We had the spicy dumplings in chili sauce omg, it was oily but sooo good. My friend and I were drinking the sauce we got a Long Island that took a while but was strong and tasty. Can't remember the exact item but I think it was the beef bulgogi super delish. I will have to come back in the day when it's a regular restaurant. Great food. read more
