My colleague drove pass this restaurant one day and suggested that we go and try it out. It is a casual restaurant with minimal but cosy decorations. The staff can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. They offer a good varieties of food choices. I love that they have many of my hometown dishes. We ordered Pork Ribs Steam Rice Noodle, Fried Tofu with Minced Fish and Chicken Clay Pot. They all taste good, but I wish they give a bigger portion, especially the Tofu with Minced Fish is very thin. We paid $53 (not including tips) for 3 dishes and a lemon tea, which is a bit expensive for a casual restaurant in SGV.

I saw this restaurant on Yelp for a while, but I never got to give it a try. I finally decided to come here for brunch one day. KP actually stands for Kai Ping, a city in Guandong, China. I don't know much about Kai Ping, but I generally like Cantonese food, so I decided to give this restaurant a try. The restaurant is super clean. There are not a ton of restaurant staff there, but the staff are nonetheless very attentive. We ended up sharing a preserved meat steamed rice, the combination pan fried tofu and pepper with minced fish, and the beef offal noodles. Everything was overall solid. The steamed rice was fairly standard, nothing stand out, but still solid. The tofu and peppers were really good, not as good as the ones in Hong Kong though. The noodles had a unique flavor.

Yellow Eel Clay Pot Rice

So this was a pleasant surprise on my recent trip home, a Chinese restaurant that specializes in Kaiping food. As a Kaiping boy myself, it warmed my heart to see my tiny city of origin being represented. What is Kaiping food exactly, I can't say how it differs greatly from general Canto food but it definitely had some dishes I've never had outside of Kaiping or home made by my parents. The space itself is rather small but its a bright, casual spot that is reminiscent of side street restaurants in Kaiping, except like 1000x cleaner and up to US health code standards. We were quickly sat but the restaurant filled up shortly after we sat (~12pm on a Tuesday afternoon). Our waitress took our order, let us know claypot will take a little longer, which we were ok with. Food was all coming out fresh, as it was ready so yes, food did take a bit longer than normal ~10-20 mins for all food to arrive but I'm not complaining. Food wise, we ordered the yellow eel clay pot rice, pepper/tofu with minced fish, KP style fried chicken wings, and stir fried pork offal. I enjoyed all the dishes and found them to taste "cleaner" than in Kaiping which meant it didn't quite hit the nostalgia factor for me. That doesn't mean the food isn't in and of itself good though. We were provided a wintermelon soup that was a great starter, light but flavorful. The pork offal was cooked wonderfully and each of the various cuts seemed to be cooked well, with none being overly chewy or undercooked and the sauce was very flavorful and savory. The KP chicken wings were not something I've had before but it had the like classic Canto tangerine peel flavor (Canto kids that ate those little packets of dried tangerine peels as snacks unite). The wings were very crisp and juicy overall and though not a dish I grew up with, definitely something I'd come back for. The clay pot was done very well with a nice amount of crispy rice on the bottom, flavorful and tender eel, and perfectly cooked individual rice grains (a sign of a truly well done clay pot). The panfried tofu/peppers with minced fish was also great and a dish I miss greatly. Everything was well fried and flavored and nothing was burnt or even charred. I'd suggest adding some white pepper to taste for that true experience (granted I don't think they care about your personal preference in Kaiping so feel free to just heap it on). I'm glad my hometown is getting some representation in the SGV. I hear my home dialect now and then around but it was a new experience hearing everyone speak my home dialect while out in the states. I may be biased but I'd recommend this spot for general Canto food but specifically their clay pot and tofu/peppers with minced fish. The latter isn't common outside of Kaiping (to my knowledge) so it was a welcome surprise.

We ordered beef offal dry noodle and chicken and mushroom covered in leaf. It wasn't the best chicken pieces but at least the flavoring is there. They serve savoring tang yuan here!!! I always crave that randomly so I'll be back to try this. It wasn't busy when we first walked in but people started trickling in as we were eating. Plenty parking in the front of the restaurant shared with other establishments in the plaza.

This review includes my experience of my two visits. A relatively new restaurant in town that specialize in Kai Ping cuisine. The place is small, simple, and cozy. The interior design if filled with creative and unique Chinese characters and food pictures. Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Meat: The cauliflower is nicely cooked (soft but still crunchy). It is nicely seasoned, not salty at all. A great veggie selection. This dish was ordered on both of my visits. Beef Brisket Steamed Vermicelli: The noodle comes with a fair amount of beef briskets. The noodle is lightly seasoned with the sauce on top, there are also white pepper and siracha on the side. A different option to eat noodles. Pan-Fried Tofu with Minced Fish & Pan-Fried Pepper with Minced Fish: A must try dish! Very traditional dish. The minced fish is nicely seasoned, and a well combo with green pepper and tofu. It is not overly fried, and not very oily. Chicken Clay Pot: Love this chicken clay pot. Compared to other similar chicken pot in canto/hong Kong restaurants, this is one of my favorite. The chicken is nicely seasoned and tender. It is not salty! Definitely recommend this if you enjoy eating chickens. The onions along with it are also tasty. Steam Chicken with Mushroom: I had high hopes in this dish, but it was REALLY salty. We had trouble finishing this dish. The waitress misunderstood this dish with the steamed rice with chicken and mushrooms, so make sure to state it clearly when ordering. However, I don't recommend this dish because it was too salty. And there's no aroma from the (bamboo) leaves. The chicken is tender, just hope they can improve the flavor of this dish. Steam Rice with Chicken and Mushroom + Soup: I love this steamed rice! The chicken and mushrooms are nicely cooked and flavored, and come with a great amount. Definitely recommend on trying this. Another great chicken dish. Steam Rice with Beef & Pickled Mustard + Soup: I didn't quit enjoy this one. The beef is not tender, quit hard and chewy. The pickled mustard that they used is spicy and sour. I don't recommend on trying this one. Beef Offal Noodle Soup: The noodle comes with a nice amount of beef offal. The noodle is cooked to the perfect texture, and nicely flavored. Overall, my two experiences at KP Town were great. It's a family run restaurant, so the wait time may be longer during busy times. During our second visit, one of our order was made wrong (Steamed Chicken with mushrooms), the owner apologized and served the correct order. Due to the long wait, they gave us a free lemon tea. The service is very friendly and welcoming. I hope they can expand their menu with more options. FYI, the portion of their food can be quit small for large parties.

Stir fried pork offal with ginger and scallions
Jimmy S.

This unassuming place where the unfortunate golden mile bowling closed is a gem. The crystals dumplings were small and delicious and packed full of flavor. The stir fried pork offal with ginger and scallions was very tender and a large portion. The mixture of vegetables and the pork was very generous. My friend ordered the KP town bbq pork rice and soup which the soup was very homely and soothing while the pork rice itself was very flavorful. The staff was very attentive and the lemon iced tea was great! Not too sugary and they even gave us refills! Parking is easy and the place is easy to get into. The store is a tad bit cold with their AC but their decor and demeanor is very friendly!

Went in for their clay pot rice. But to my surprise, they actually serve a Guangzhou style clay pot, not necessarily Hong Kong style clay pot. It was delicious none the less and my family got their roast duck special. It was so savory with so much meat packed on it! This place does NOT skimp out on the meat!! I love their speedy service to refill my lemon teas and iced HK milk teas.

Another new open Chinese restaurant in area but glad is not another very spicy restaurant next to bowl alley. Many available parking. Owners are very friendly. Place is small but many tables and clean. Paper togo menu with many dishes that I could decide quickly. I ordered 1 appetizer, 1 main dish and 1 soup for 2 people. Foods portion is decent. Stired fry tofu with mince fish and pepper with mince fish. Little spice of white pepper. It's pretty good , but make sure to eat with sauce Pork stomach with chicken and white pepper soup. Pork stomach doesnt have any smell and soft. It's big pot that we couldn't finished. We like this soup very much. It's still good for next day but add noodles. Chicken claypot take longer to cook than I thought but worth for wait. It's have deep flavor and chicken is tender. Chicken come with bones, so watch out. Later, I noticed there not much veggies. I ordered stired fry lettuce with garlic. This is also good. After tried all dishes and overall is goods I decide order foods togo. Another pork stomach chicken soup, stream pork rib (pork is so tender and flavor just right) and clear dumplings (its kind sweet and seem like peanut mix meat, but not sure. Please ask if you allergic to nut)

Portions not as generous as some of the Asian places around. They keep running promotions on ubereat for bogo but the price really ended up paying for two of the same item. Flavor was fine.

This KP Town Cuisine is located inside a strip plaza on Valley and New Ave. in Alhambra. (next to the Bowling alley and 101 Noodle Express) It just opened about 2 months ago and its specialty is Kaiping-style food. The place is small but cozy with some cute Chinese signs in simplified Chinese. My mom and I ordered the Braised Duck Noodle Soup ($13.99) and KP Town crystal dumplings ($10.99). For the Braised Duck Noodles, we picked dry noodles instead of noodle soup and you can choose flat noodles/vermicelli/rice noodles/egg noodles. We waited for 30 minutes then our orders came. The crystal dumplings were mini dumplings and it had 18 pieces inside. It was a small dish and the fillings inside were also tiny. The fillings inside had chopped peanuts. (Make sure you are not allergic to peanuts). The taste was okay but we did not think that it was worth the price. For the Braised duck noodles, they gave a good portion of noodles and the taste was not bad but the braised ducks were chopped into so tiny and did not have much meat (maybe only a few pieces). They need to improve the service, the food portions, and quality.

Luyixian is a gem located in the ABC plaza near the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Garfield Avenue. Luyixian serves a variety of soy-based dishes, regional Chinese comfort cuisine, and Zhejiang specialties. Luyixian is mostly known for their braised pork rice and beef noodle soup. The atmosphere there was nice and the staff there were very friendly. Parking can be found either inside the plaza building or underground. I ordered the braised beef rice. The braised beef rice was mouthwatering! It is like a home cooked meal. The braised beef was very tender and juicy. The beef is served with sauteed cabbage, pickled vegetables, hard-boiled egg, and a scoop of rice. The braised beef rice will taste even better when everything on the plate is mixed together. My dish took about 10 minutes to be served, which is quite quick. So far, my first time dining at Luyixian was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this gem to anyone who loves braised pork rice or other Chinese dishes!

I went with the tomato and sliced beef for $14.99. This came with bean sprouts, which I wasn't aware of, and there was a lot of bean sprouts inside - almost as much as there was rice noodle. Not a fan of bean sprouts but will eat if I need to, but in this case - it totally overwhelmed the dish. There also wasn't enough rice noodle for me. Everything else was good, but that kinda blew it for me. Also got the spicy soup with beef and tomatoes. This is more of a gentle burn in spice they slowly works its way up. It's good if you like spice. Restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived but got a good amount of customers by the time we were leaving. Workers are friendly. Not sure if I'd be back though. Lots of street parking or a small lot to the side.

The only downside is they don't have their AC on during the summer. I remember one time I was sweating while eating and it was very uncomfortable.

Beef roll looked more like a giant taco but was also excellent. In the most convoluted sequence of restaurant occupancy in the annals of Chinese restaurants in the United States, Noodle King has supplanted Rice Hero/Hero's Kitchen/In Joy Lunch in Alhambra in the space formerly occupied by a different restaurant named Noodle King in the 1980s and 1990s. There's a lot to explain here. I used the compound name for the previous occupant because the name on the front entrance was Rice Hero, the back entrance said Hero's Kitchen and the digital menus said In Joy Lunch. I say the old restaurant was supplanted, not replaced, because the old restaurant sort of still hangs around, with a tiny sheet of paper with all 3 old names taped to the front door, and many old dishes still on the menu. Why the three names I don't know. In Joy Lunch had been a popup that operated during lunch hour serving Dongbei food in a space in YYDS Fried Strings in Rosemead. In Joy Lunch then struck out on their own last year with this space in Alhambra, adding the new names. The old Noodle King had been a Taiwanese noodle fixture before moving out in 2003. Since the new Noodle King also serves some of the Rice Hero/Hero's Kitchen/In Joy Lunch items, the same name seems to be just a coincidence. But despite holdover menu items the staff clearly say they're a new restaurant, with the Noodle King himself greeting you at the front entrance and the signage in both front and back now say Noodle King.

Menu has a variety of options... boiled dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, steamed mini buns, stir-fried noodles, regular noodles, rolls & pancakes, side dishes, rice, soup, and beverages. They also have frozen food to-go (just two items... dumplings and dezhou chicken).

Staff and service were wonderful. Yan, the server, was patient and helpful. He did an amazing job working the entire floor by himself. Thank you Yan!
