Honestly so glad I tried Fu Restaurant in Walnut!…read more First off, you HAVE to get their $9.90 Colorful Over-Rice Plate. It was my first time having it and it was so good! The portion is actually huge--honestly big enough for two people to share. We ended up ordering 6 different dishes total and the whole bill was just barely over $100. That's insane value for LA! (Found out later the chef used to cook for the Olympics, no wonder the food tastes so legit!) The vibe inside is really clean, quiet, and nice for a casual date or hanging out with friends. Service was super sweet too. They kept checking on us, refilled our water non-stop, and made sure we liked everything. I also noticed a sign on the wall saying they offer free "Loving Meals" for anyone going through a hard time... such a thoughtful touch 10/10 recommend! Super tasty, cheap, and huge portions. I'm definitely coming back!

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.

The food was good, but the service was making me uncomfortable…read more The uni feast don bowl was good (10/10), generous portion for $40 ish. All the seafoods are fresh and taste natural. I also realized I actually don't like the taste of uni after the meal LOL, I prefer basic salmon sashimi. I like how you can more refills on the sides like salad and soup. All the sides taste fantastic as well. About the service... First, the lady was gaslighting me into thinking it was $60 for a uni rice bowl. I was skeptical and looked up online, the delivery app literally said $39 for the same bowl. I showed the online price to her and she said "I will give you the cheaper version of $39 but with less uni". Fine... when I finally got my meal and started eating, she started asking me some really personal questions, it made me really uncomfortable. I really love the food here but I won't go back again. I know her intention isn't harmful or bad, but I prefer to enjoy my meal in peace.

I came here because we love the Rosemead one. So my wife and I decided to give this one a try…read more Overall, food is okay, didn't taste like the Rosemead one, even though they are the same franchise. The waiter are rude, we were half way into our meal and they already gave us the check, and the waiter just stand there, WTF? The worse part was their food gave my wife caca-rrhea. I wouldn't go back to them, you guys can try it at your own risk.

I was craving noodles, so we had to stop by Mr. Dragon Noodle!…read more We ordered the beef noodle soup, and while I personally wasn't a huge fan of the noodles because they were a little too firm for my taste, the Angus beef tomato ramen was definitely a hit. We added pickled radish and bamboo shoots on the side, which made the noodle soup even better. We also ordered the xiao long bao, which came out juicy and delicious. I definitely recommend eating them while they're hot because once they cool down, the wrapper starts to harden and they're just not quite as good. For drinks, we got the honey lemon green tea, and it came in a huge jug! It was easily shareable between two people, so I thought it was a really good value for the price. Service was amazing as well. We came around 6 PM on a Sunday night and only waited about 5 minutes. It wasn't too busy, and there was plenty of parking available at that time, which was really nice. There's also underground parking if the plaza lot gets full. Would definitely come back again, especially for the Angus beef tomato ramen and xiao long bao!

I came for brunch with my sister and it is already packed. Luckily we were able to get seated…read morepretty quickly. There is a QR code that you can scan which will give you the digital menu which you can order off of right away without having to wait for the waiter. If you're not sure on what to order the menu tells you what is their popular dishes to help give you an idea of what's good. We order the marinated cucumber salad, Shanghai spicy shrimp and pork wontons, pan fried pork dumplings, pork xiao long bao, and the beef tenderloin udon with black pepper. My favorites were the Shanghai spicy shrimp and pork wontons and the beef tenderloin udon with black pepper. Both are considered spicy dishes but I have a weak spicy tolerance and I did not think that they were spicy at all! The pan fried dumpling skirt was crispy and instantly melts in your mouth. The xiao long baos have a small amount of soup within and the cucumber salad was so refreshing. The food comes out quick! The staff work quick to ensure you get all of your food fast. This place is one of my favorite spots to grab some dumplings. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to Thumbling for about 4 years, and it used to be one of my favorite restaurants…read more Unfortunately, it's gone downhill. The sesame peanut noodles have been disappointing the last three times I've ordered them. They barely add any sauce anymore, so the noodles taste bland. Instead, they throw in a ton of minced garlic and especially minced ginger, which completely overpowers the dish. It doesn't taste anything like it used to. The service has also gotten worse. I asked an employee in Spanish if I could have a straw. She acted like she didn't understand me, so I asked again in English, and she still said she didn't understand. I just said never mind. But a few minutes later, my aunt asked the same employee in Spanish for more water, and suddenly she understood perfectly. That honestly left me confused. The employees also come off as rude and unfriendly. Then, when it's time to pay, they practically shove the tablet in your face while standing there watching you. We were a party of four, yet there was a $16 gratuity added, and on top of that they asked us how much extra tip we wanted to leave. It feels like you're being pressured into tipping twice instead of it being your choice. It's honestly sad because this place used to be so good. I've noticed fewer people eating there lately, and if the food quality and customer service keep getting worse, I can see why. I hope management takes this seriously and brings Thumbling back to what it used to be.

3.5 stars. No frills hole in the wall place…read more The menu changes everyday and it is 11 dollars after tax. I just ate the leftover from yesterday and it was still good. Not that greasy!

I should hit this place for lunch more often since it's to close to my office…read more It's a generous box for lunch and comes with a soup that reminds me of meals my Mom would cook while I was growing up. 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.

The mainstays such as the porridge and lightly brothed side dishes are also things I look forward to. From various melons (veggie eg winter) and radishes and tofu, there are so many tasty options. There's usually a few wok'ed dishes but also a few fried goodies like taro sesame balls and crispy meatless meatballs. I also like the soup available tho I usually skip it unless it's hot n sour. There's also a ramen bar but I can do that at home as last resort meal, so I never understood why ppl do this. But thats just my opinion. But my favorite thing is the dessert and beverage bar. You can make boba milk tea with fresh boba and milk tea on tap. There's usually two other tea options in addition but the highlight for me is the shaved ice. With all the toppings to boot. Grass jelly, tiger sugar, condensed milk, custard and more. I can't describe how this always makes me excited to no end. Especially in the summer. The price has gone up to $16/person for dinner now, but as always no tip necessary so it's still a crazy deal in my opinion. The seating area is also small so if the higher prices keep crowds down, I'm totally fine with that.

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

3.5 stars…read more Environment is not fancy, a bit dark even during daylight. Staff is friendly but seems overwhelmed. Sizzling steaks (got chicken and beef) were okay. 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. :)

My daughter I ordered 3 separate dishes to share and my favorite was the Baked Cream Sauce Fish Fillet with Rice. Hers was the Baked Chicken with Pasta. Also got the Curry Chicken and surprisingly, it had more chicken than potatoes (fine with me since I am not a huge fan of potatoes). Their iced Lemon Tea passed my taste test. Decor here, like other Hong Kong cafes, is cute with replicas such as an old school phone booth and various memorabilia. Since I was born in Hong Kong, it sure made me felt a bit nostalgic. I look forward to coming back soon to try out their breakfast menu.

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. The crispy noodles had a really good texture that I really liked, but I wish they were in a diff sauce. A more savory soy sauce or a more salty peanut sauce would have been great. 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!
