When we came in, we were greeted right away and brought to our seats. The place was quite empty, so there was a wonder of why, except at the same time, there is no wondering cause there are so many places to eat at. We came at 2pm, and they close at 3-5pm for their lunch break, but they were fully engaged with our experience of the restaurant. We ordered chicken fried noodle with handmade noodles, stewed beef tendon noodle soup with knife-edged noodles, and pork with leek boiled dumplings. Everything was good! The chicken chow-mein was great! The wok char on it was perfect. The flavors were well defined. The dish came together harmoniously. The veggies were well cooked. Everything on this was perfect. The tendon soup only came with tendon. I thought it would come with some beef chunks too, but nope, just tendon. No complaints, just a realization for the next visit to order more correctly. It was good too. The knife edge noodles were perfectly chewy too. The pork-leek dumplings are just what you'd expect. They are well flavored if you eat them before anything else. But if you should eat it after other stuff, be prepared to use some vinegar, chili, and or white pepper to get more flavor into them to match up with the stack of flavors from the other foods. Just make sure you eat these as an appetizer as they should be. Definitely coming back again, it's good, simple, real, and not costly food! Just good stuff! read more

Local mom and pop shop serving noodles, buns, dumplings. They have the best price for pan fried buns ($17.20 after tax for 10 - large size) filled with pork and shrimp. Everything is made to order. Overall I liked that it wasn't overly greasy but the bun part is quite thick. The filling was flavorful but I wish it were juicier (didn't have the classic soup spilling out as you bite it). They also sell a lot of frozen dumplings and wontons. There is a parking lot in front. Card requires $20 transaction. read more

JTYH Restaurant - Beef rolls with cucumbers inside - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

JTYH is located in a small plaza next to Starbucks with its own parking lot. This Mom and Pop run restaurant is a hidden gem in the SGV. If you are looking for Chinese food, definitely come and check this place out. We actually came to this restaurant twice in a span of 2 weeks, so this review will cover both times. The service was quick and the owners were very nice and courteous. The ambiance felt like a cozy sit down restaurant. During our first visit, we ordered pan fried dumplings with pork, beef stewed noodle soup with knife cut noodles, and don don noodles with hand pulled noodles. Just a quick tip - some noodle dishes allow you to choose between two types of noodles. One type is the knife cut noodles, which is a larger, thicker, and chewier type of noodle. The other type of noodle is the hand pulled noodle, which is your thin noodles. The pan fried dumplings with pork were your typical fried dumplings and were okay. The beef stewed noodle soup was pretty good. My wife enjoyed the knife cut noodles and the soupy base. One thing that I noticed with this dish was that there were a good amount of pickled vegetables within the broth, which my wife also enjoyed. The Dan Dan noodles with hand pulled noodles was definitely the star of the show. Personally, I enjoyed the thin noodles much more than the thicker knife cut noodles. The Dan Dan noodles come with spicy sauce base and peanuts, a combination that was very tasty. Make sure you mix it well before you eat it! On our second visit, we ordered the pan-fried bun with pork, the Mooshu fried noodles, and, of course, the Dan Dan noodles again! The small order of pan fried bun with pork came with six buns. The buns were fried to a nice crisp and it had a generous amount of pork filling. The bread was a bit doughy, though, but definitely worth a try. The Mushu fried noodles were delicious. I really enjoyed the egg mixed with vegetables and shredded pork pieces that were on top of the noodles. Lastly, we ordered the Dan Dan noodles again because they're so Dan good! Overall, we would definitely return to try the other items on the menu! read more

I've been coming here for many years, and I've come to appreciate the food they provide. The food is not haute cuisine, but food that reminds you of home. Noodles that have a delicious springiness in the bite, pan fried buns with a crisp base and tender, savory pork interior. These are foods that invite all who want comforting and satisfying food. I hope to continue enjoying the food for many years to come and I am grateful for being able to enjoy one of the many gems that adorn the San Gabriel Valley. Suggested dishes: pan fried buns, hand cut noodles. Mooshu Cat ear (shaped noodles), beef roll, their tomato and dough soup (in Chinese it's called 麵疙瘩/ 面疙瘩; it's conceptually similar to western style chicken and dumpling soup, or even gnocchi) Many dishes are made to order, so be aware that good things take time. If you don't want to wait, takeout is a viable option. read more

I think this was a throwaway place that a friend mentioned as an option for a dinner one night and another friend was like "oo I'm down for some cat ear pasta". I had no idea what that was, but went along with it and this has become a favorite. I don't know enough about Chinese food to say this is super authentic or super good, but I enjoy this spot a lot. The food to me is solid. The "Mooshu Cat Ears" is a delicious noodle dish. The Pan Fried Bun with Pork is my favorite. I get a Large even if it's just me and my wife. We take the left overs home and they actually heat up decently well. I never learn my lesson and bite into them too early and burn myself. I don't care, I'm not going to wait for it. The Cumin Lamb is excellent as well, but it's a lot of cumin and peppers and not a lot of lamb. It tastes so good on a trip with friends they demanded we order a second one and I happily obliged. The only thing I'm not super in love with that we regularly get is the beef roll. I think it's okay, but I can enjoy even a bad beef roll. Service is OK, it's a family run hole in the wall spot. They're friendly, take your order, then mostly leave you alone. It makes it a surprisingly nice spot to catch up with friends or family. It's not a luxurious spot, but I took my parents here and they had some reservations given appearance but enjoyed the food enough to say it was a good pick. read more

After a couple of years of coming here, I realized I haven't written a review for them yet. Shameful. I discovered them a while back when I was across the street at a dentist's office. Looked them up in Yelp and brought my family back to try them out, and immediately liked them. They specialize in handmade noodles, especially knife cut. Though there are several in the SGV, JTYH seems to have that great chewy texture ( or Q ) Add some high heat wok flavor and you got yourself some very tasty noodles. Their soup noodles are also very good, with the same chewy consistency. Besides noodles, they also have handmade dumplings. On a few occasions when we walked in, they're at a table by the kitchen making them. I've tried their stir fried noodles, soup noodles, scallion pancakes, beef rolls and other items, and I've always leave with a happy and full stomach. JTYH is the place to go for some authentic handmade noodles. I hate to say they're a hidden gem but I've only seen them busy once. They share a small parking lot with a meat market next door but usually there's no problem finding a spot. Check their hours on Yelp because they take a break in the afternoons. It's a little out of the way for me to eat here but I'd gladly take the drive then go somewhere that's closer, but not as good. Plus, I love supporting small family businesses. read more

Came here in a Sunday before it closed for the afternoon. Ordered the lamb noodle soup, beef rolls and three ingredient dumplings. The dumplings were pretty good with the vinegar and chili oil. Three ingredient dumplings included pork, shrimp and egg. It was an interesting combo to say the least but it was good! The beef rolls were pretty good but my only complaint was it had cucumbers. The specific ingredients were not listed out in the menu but I never had cucumbers in beef rolls before so I didn't give it much thought when I was ordering lol. Other than that, it was good! The lamb noodle was only okay. There was plenty of noodles, lamb and veggies but the flavor was just okay. It wasn't bland or anything but the flavor was somewhat lacking. I would definitely come back to try out their other menu items. My uncle ordered the beef noodle which I've had before that I like! Service was also quick and attentive. The place was small so getting the servers attention was no problem. Parking lot is available in the front. read more

Portions are pretty generous for the price. If you're eating inside. It can get pretty warm with the stuffiness of the summer heat. Nevertheless, what brought me to here was the hand cut shaved noodles. There were a lot of pictures of people ordering mooshu cat ears. It's essentially a mix of fried scrambled egg with mushrooms on top. Their portion size for the pig ears is definitely bigger than what most other Chinese restaurants serve. Lamb had that great smokiness to it without the overpowering game to it. read more

Small restaurant/ cafe that specializes in noodles and dumplings. And more specifically, shanxi knife-cut noodles. The place feels family owned and operated and this was reflected in the friendly, warm service. I came in on a cold evening, looking for some warm soup. So I ordered the beef noodle soup. I ended choosing the thinner, hand stretched noodles (as apposed to the thicker knife cut variety), because it seemed like it would go better in the soup. The noodles were very well done and chewy. Great texture to go along with the comforting spicy broth. I also ordered fish and leek dumplings. Great flavor and structure. I took most to go because the two dishes I ordered was a lot of food. I enjoyed the vibe here. While I was eating, there were two ladies preparing dumplings off to the side. It reminded me of my mom and aunt when I visit my parents. So there was a nostalgic factor. Like a lot of other restaurants in the area that I really enjoy, this place feels like a great value for delicious noodles and dumplings because of their great selection and very reasonable prices. read more

This place was busy. The food was very good and the service was good. The price is average. I think this place is overlooked by people because there are a lot of noodle places in this area. The noodles here are freshly made and the wonton that I had was full of flavor that you want in a dumpling. I think what could have been better was the beef in the noodle could have been cooked a little longer to make it more tender. But the noodles and dumpling were spot on. I hope they can improve on the beef because that would be important to my family and me to enjoy our noodle dishes. read more

This place needs more credit. I definitely prefer this spot over Noodle express on New and Valley. From the delicious sides and fresh cut noodles, I left thinking what im going to get next time. The sesame noodles are crazyyyyy good. Chewy and toasty, it's a must. Beef rolls are also on point. It has a small parking lot but you can always park on the street. It's rarely busy, so it won't be a problem. read more

Parking: JYTH is located in a small plaza with limited parking next to Starbucks. Service: The restaurant is family owned and the people are very nice. It takes a while for them to prepare the food since there are not many people on the staff. Interior: The interior looks relatively new. It was not very crowded when I went to pick up my order. It looks like most people order takeout. Food: I got the pan fried bun with pork and pan fried bun with leek. They probably make one of the best pan fried buns in the area. The buns were huge, not too greasy, crispy on the bottom, fluffy inside, and stuffed full of filling. You can order a small portion with six pieces or large with ten. I will definitely be back to try their noodles. read more

JTYH Restaurant - Pan fried bun with pork (L) and pan fried bun with leek (L) - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

Haven't been to teh restaurant for a long long time and was happy to see their new decor and almost new menu! The server was very friendly and helped us with the order. I was thinking about the moo- shu shrimp and he immediately explained their moo-shu dish doesn't come with the pancake wrap; for me, a moo-shu without pancake is just another stir-fried veggie!! I appreciated him for the reminder! Mom was craving for the stir-fried pancake with veggies, a very home-style dish but hard to find in LA. JTYH's stir-fried pancake was delicious!! A generous portion of mixed veggies and the pancake slices were crispy not soaking in sauces. My thick knive-cut noodle was a bit oily, but still had great flavor! The beef pancake roll has a good balance of sliced beef and lots of scallion, cucumber, and cilantro. We also bought their frozen hand-made dumplings in Fish ($26 for 50 pcs) it was yummy as well. Overall, the restaurant offers great food at a reasonable price. A good local spot worth the support! read more

I wouldn't think I would enjoy Chinese food this much as I had been staying in Taiwan half the time in the past 2 years and have all the good Chinese restaurants within reach. Came here mainly to get frozen dumplings and wontons for lazy days when I don't feel want to cook. The exterior of the restaurant is very dated but once inside, it's clean and has more Chinese themed decoration than I had expected. Ordered frozen dumplings and wonton, also ordered few dishes to go, Mooshu fried noodle with knife cut noodles, beef roll and beef/tendon noodle soup with knife cut noodles. The lady took my order was very friendly and told me to sit while waiting Bec knife cut noodle will take a while to "cut". My love for knife cut noodle started when I was maybe in college or high school when there's knife cut noodle shop near NTU. But years later I am without motivation to brace the hot humid weather to go out of my way for food. I tried UberEat once but by the time it got to my hand, the noodles were already soggy. Food was well packed, stewed beef soup and noodles were in separated container, I like seeing how well food was packed to get a idea if someone who made the food sloppy. Everything was delicious and I am truly enjoying the food:) since there's nothing I would like to complain, definitely a 5 stars! read more

Wow this place exceeded my expectations! My so and I shared everything and we still had extra. For appetizers we got the cucumbers and pig ear. There was a lot for a cold side dish which was great. The pig ear was sliced thicker than the other ones I had. It also had cilantro and red bell peppers that added more flavor to the dish. I would definitely recommend the beef roll here. The cucumber beef and cilantro worked so well together with the outside being perfectly flaky and delicious. You can tell the knife cut noodles were handmade. Perfectly seasoned as you mix in all the ingredients with cucumber egg beef and savory sesame sauce. The lady was super nice and food was delivered pretty quickly. The restaurant was clean and spacious with plenty of parking outside. I would definitely come back to try more dishes! read more

Highly recommend! read more

This is an amazing place. It is the only beef noodle I eat in LA. I've tried a lot and since Demon King / Blue Samurai closed, I couldn't find a place to satisfy my fix. (I am rather picky for beef noodles) My recommendation is beef / tendon noodle soup with knife cut noodles. Second dish is chow mein with hand pulled noodles. read more

This is definitely my definition of a "Mom N'Pop" little S-hole in the wall kinda joint! I've been coming here for years since one of my good high-school friends introduced me to this hidden gem. This family owned business has weathered through the economic storms of the past and present. I am grateful that they are still in business and still serving good nothern Chinese/Taiwanese cuisine at a fair price. My two must haves here on the menu is the beef fried dumplings and their house made hand made beef noodle soup with chunks of beed stew and tendon. The flavors are authentic and very tasty. I have tried several other dishes on their menu and they have never disappointed. I will always come back and support this business for as long as they remain open. P.S. Their customer service may not be superb but that's typical of Asian places like these. I come for the good food not the quality of the people serving it. read more

Old school, northern Chinese cuisine from the Shanxi province. They specialize in their knife-cut noodles, with that signature chewiness (yum), but I didn't get a chance to try it yet. Went on a Sunday night with my family, and although they always have guests, it's never packed and we never have to wait, which my family appreciates. Ordered the smashed garlic cucumber, pig ears, beef roll, fried leek buns, pork and chive dumplings, and sweet and sour soup - all delicious, and would absolutely recommend-order. Also, our waitress was attentive and speedy. Btw, Jonathan Gold spoke highly of the Shanxi noodles when he came here - another reason to try them! read more

Unknown but great foods! The buns are awesome and so does the noodle. I love the lamb meat jiaozi! Price is right.

my favorite knife cut noodles in la! i get the beef tendon noodle soup - the broth is balanced, light, beefy and herbacious, the noodles are perfect. tendon is soft and tender. the meal i always think about on tuesdays (the day they're closed) read more

This is probably long overdue, but I believe I'm going to go ahead and bump this hole in the wall up to 5 stars ... I feel like this place has really grown on me in the past few years. It probably helps that one of the ladies who works here seems to recognize me when I visit now. :D The value and quality of food here is remarkably high - you still can get a delicious and filling "home-made" meal here for not too much money, even as the fiat printing machine goes "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". I stop here not only to dine in, but I am also a *huge* fan of their frozen dumplings that I get to go (to be stashed and later cooked at home - or more often, at work), which are not only still quite affordable (a sack of 50 Pork and Leek dumplings has only increased $1 in price in roughly the last 2 years), but very tasty and filling. These hand-made dumplings (which are produced *in front of you* in the dining area, often as you eat) are definitely of FAR superior quality to the commercially-produced frozen dumplings that are sold at 99 Ranch, GW, and the likes. It seems like every time I visit, there are few to no diners inside (no need to wait in line, relatively quiet and secluded dining environment), and there are always plenty of available parking spaces (no delays in hunting for a spot). If you have not yet ... I highly encourage you to give JTYH a try, I'm confident you will enjoy your meal! :) read more

This is one of my go to place for dumplings and noodles. My go to dishes are the hot and sour noodles, xiao long bao, beef roll, the mushu noodles and the cucumber appetizer. I don't like the knife cut noodles though since they always splash all over me when it falls off my chopsticks but that's just a personal preference so I go with the regular noodles. Noodles are hand made. I love their hot and sour noodles. Its different than the typical hot and sour soup and isn't that oily szechuan stuff. Xiao long bao is soupy, beef roll has lots of flavor and refreshing cause they put a lot of cucumbers and they stir fry the wrap and not fry like other restaurants. Frying the wrap makes the roll in general hard. The mushu noodles is noodles cooked with eggs, black fungus. Something I haven't seen at any other noodle restaurant in the SGV. This is family run restaurant. Service is good. They have a small parking lot. They have a $25 minimum for credit card. Also, they just renovated last week and the interior looks really really nice. It gives a feel like you went back to olden day China. read more

I head out to San Gabriel Valley from the Westside with the wife & kids a few times a month for authentic Chinese food. I'm an immigrant with a mom & a grandma who is/was excellent at cooking Northern Chinese dishes. If you find yourself in the Rosemead-area, I'd recommend a little hole-in-the-wall called JTYH (on Valley Blvd.). They make all of their noodles and dumplings from scratch and you can even buy frozen dumplings to go (around $25 for a bag of 50; I buy 3-4 bags per visit (bring a cooler)). You'll often see the family that runs this restaurant hand-making dumplings and bao at a table in the small dining room. It can be intimidating to go to a new place with unfamiliar food, so I'll make a few recs. Try the cat ear mushu (no, not real cat ears, silly- the hand-made pasta resembles an ear), the three-ingredient dumplings (pan-fried), the fried pork buns, and the knife-cut noodles with lamb. Their small dining room is now open for dine-in (no outdoor seating). They take credit cards and speak good English. Bon Appetit! read more

I really do love their food. But sometimes they really do take forever.. We ALLLLWAYS get their mushu cat ears. It's tiny pieces of dough that curl and look like cat (kitty) ears but literally freaks people out cuz of the name. The noodles are stir fried in a soy sauce base and topped with eggs scrambled with veggies and meat. Always a hit! We also get their simmer soup with knife cut noodles, pan fried buns (juicy goodness with crispy bottoms), and ask what veggies they have if we feel like being healthy. They have a small indoor dining area we use to eat in before Covid but even back then, most people did take out I think. The area is small and fits maybe 2-3 small parties(?) If you like spicy, they also have toothpick lamb that was delicious read more

At the corner of a lot, easy to miss, and next to a butcher shop, this place is a hidden gem! Wow. The exterior is an extremely unassuming little noodle shop, but the flavor and texture of the noodles/ dumplings packs a punch. I have been on a hunt for good handmade noodles and decided to give this place a shot. Came on a quiet Monday and there was one other table. The Dan Dan noodles and Zajiang Mien were delicious- perfectly spiced and a hint of mala on the former. We also got the beef noodle soup which was really good as well. I spied a regional specialty on their menu- handmade "Cat Ears" noodles (basically the Asian version of orecchiette pasta) . I am going to get that next time because you can't find that anywhere else! The dumplings were amazing. The filling inside was super generous and the skin was handmade chewiness and thin. They also have a number of buns that I want to try next time! read more

COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. The staff also wear gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has no outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are also sanitizing in between customers. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: They have a super tiny parking lot. Like seriously. You can only fit about 15 to 20 cars here. If the lot is full, park in the lot next door and walk over. The spots are tiny and tight. So be careful. Food: The food here is bomb! I have been coming here for the past 10 years or so and I love it. My family and I ordered their (10) soup dumplings aka xiao long baos. The soup dumplings were very juicy and delicious. Their scallion pancakes were nice and crispy. Their pan fried dumplings were also very crunchy and juicy too. Their beef rolls were packed with meat and cilantro, cucumbers, and scallions. So delicious. Staff: The staff here are super friendly and nice. I called in to order and they said that my order would be ready in about 15 to 20 minutes. It was all ready for me when I went to pick it up 20 minutes later. I paid in cash. They have a $20 minimum for credit card usage. If your order is below $20, you MUST pay in cash. read more

LOVEDDDD the red chili oil wontons! LOVED. I always try this dish where restaurants serve it in hopes of finding the ONE style I like - here it's very close to the Din Tai Fung style with less sugar and a better price. They also use a good handmade wonton with delicious filling. A lot of places mess up on their use of wontons and sauce. LOVED the lamb noodle soup!! I generally love lamb across the board, and they do it really well here - clear broth style, hand made noodles, no gamey taste/smell (so my mom says as she can be more sensitive to it). Greaaat price. Decor is cute and makes it feel like you are in a traditional Chinese old street. We came an hour right before closing on a Wednesday and they are not busy at all. Service was immediate and straightforward. They busy themselves by hand folding their dumplings on the side. read more
