    4 Fish & Chip Combo
    Trace L.

    Food is very good deal for the money. I ordered 4 fish and chip combo for total of $13ish, enuf for both of us couple to share. They give us a lot of fries which i like cuz it was seasoned well and delish, fish was a bit heavy on the batter tho but still ok. The service was quick when i went in late like 30 mins before. Only thing i didnt like was the tar tar sauce was a bit too sour for my taste so i didn't really dip it at all. The inside was clean and unassuming, typical local mom n pop joint looks. Still pretty solid for the price.

    Shrimp Taco order
    Danny V.

    One of the main reasons I come here is for consistency of the great taste that made me come back for the past 10+ years. Although I find myself always ordering some shrimp at tacos here, every now and again I mix it up. The sauce they use in the shrimp tacos is very unique, kinda like enchilada sauce but with a twist. Pictures don't do it justice, you just have to try them.

    Beef bowl

    Horrible service. I only got two small strips of beef, and the cook was going to add more, but the boss told him no, it was okay. $15 for a bowl of rice!

    Fish Taco

    Had three fish tacos, great stuff. Very crispy. I just wish they sold them per taco because i wanted to try a shrimp one as well. Fries were very underwhelming. Hardly seasoned aside from a little salt, not very good.

    This place is super clean and all kitchen equipment are skinny clean stainless steel. Food is great as always. Friendly staff.

    Back entrance parking.  Nice and clean inside. Delicious food pick up .

    The restaurant itself is what you make it. if you're in a bad mood, come here, he will not be in a bad mood anymore. All the food is fresh the service can't be beat. The people are always in good moods, and always get your orders, correct. The ambience is well lit so you could see what you're eating. There's nothing to hide here very clean, and very inviting. We recently decided to try what my mom always gets and that is the chicken teriyaki bowl. It is delicious so you can just forget about Waba grill and Yoshinoya for that matter and just come on down to Joni's because they have the best teriyaki chicken bowl that I have ever tasted -- delicious don't ever take this off the menu. Exception always, always ask for a side of green onion for your chicken teriyaki.'n noBreaded Chicken Teriyaki Eight Piece Fish and Chips Horchata Korean BBQ Pork Short Rib Plate

Ambience was nice, good energy overall. Just heads up, parking can be rough. You can try Main Street or the lot if you get lucky. There is usually a waitlist too.

We really enjoyed the octopus tacos and the shrimp ceviche tostada - they give you extra tostadas and everything pairs perfectly with their draft beers! Veronica and the manager were very welcoming and accommodating considering it was our first time there! LOCATION: - Has a few tables inside and an outdoor patio with plenty of seating - really enjoyed the outdoor seating when it's good weather out! PARKING: - They have a small lot in the back with about 6 spots but plenty of street parking WAIT: -About a 20 min wait for a table for 3 on a Friday around 5 pm NOTES/DEALS: - They have social hour from 3-6 pm with discounts on drinks and draft beer! - Their paper menu is in Spanish but if you scan the QR code on the table or go on their website, they have it in Spanish + English!

We were…read moreable to call ahead earlier in the morning and ask if we could be on the wait list or reserve a table. They told us they could reserve a table for us at 6pm. We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.
