    From my Iceland trip
    Tawny L.

    Im so glad they have ICELANDIC HOT DOGS!! I've been craving one ever since I visited a couple years ago. The taste of these hot dogs is so unique and "clean" and exactly like the ones I've had in Iceland !! Perhaps even better bc of the toppings,, I am so glad. I think the value for this is great! I will visit again. Highly recommended :)

    Yum and delicious Good stuff. Lobster roll is packed and the chips are crunchy and full of flavor

    This is my first time to try its lobster sandwich and is delicious. They put a generous amount of lobster meat on the bread. It also added truffle oil to make it taste so good. The lady that serve me provide excellent service.

    It's nice to have lobster rolls in the area. Located on Valley Blvd. You can't miss this truck when driving by. But it sucks you have to take it home or eat it in your car since there's really nowhere to eat it. The lady in the truck is really nice. The lobster roll was good, buttery and soft. Can't go wrong w a good lobster roll but for the price, I think I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant.

    Fries / 薯条
    Yongxian W.

    I had bought the fries thinking it'd be a small plate and like the picture on the truck but I was so pleasantly surprised at the portion size. It's absolutely huge and well seasoned. The food truck seemed to be managed by just one person but I think the food is definitely worth the wait and she was really nice and gave out chocolate freebies along with my order!

    Delicious lobster rolls! The lobster was fresh, perfectly cooked judging from the texture. Would definitely get it again. The douhua tofu pudding desert was also refreshingly good as a dessert. The fish from the fish and chips' batter was a little undercooked on the inside as it was moist/mushy where it touched the fish. But that's alright because the lobster roll and douhua make up for it tenfold! The only woman working had such great service and energy. I had never had the tofu pudding before, so she gave it to me for free on the house which was so nice of her! Check them out!

    Mouth watering and hit the spot on Saturday night in San Gabriel, Definitely coming back for this Lobster Roll from Lobster Zen Food Truck, $26 bucks with Shrimp Chips if you check in and the Lady was a sweetheart

    The lobster roll is very delicious, and the lobster meat is huge chunk. The lobster soup is also quite tasty. They also have fried squid and clam chowder here. Parking is also convenient

    Came to the Rosemead location to celebrate a family member's birthday on a Friday evening. 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!

    Been looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant. Haven't been to one in a while. This place was…read morerecommended to us by a friend. 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.
