The inside of the restaurant is simple and service is always ok to good. I ordered the Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly Bento Box. It came with lots of side dishes including soy sauce ground pork, veggies and soy sauce eggs. This bento box was nostalgic of my time spent as a young child in Taiwan.

I don't remember the last time I had freshly fried stinky tofu... probably in 2018 when I visited…read moreTaiwan. It's been a minute since I've been back and glad I was able to find stinky tofu at Tofu King. It was not busy on a Monday afternoon at 4PM, the owner was friendly and the food took a second to come out, but the stinky tofu was everything I remembered it to be - how you'd find them in Taiwan. Maybe slightly less stinky... it could be stinkier is what I meant. The veggies with rou zao - we had the a-choy, the bento box, the beef noodles - all were tasty! The restaurant was clean but quiet as we were the only customers at that time. We also had the grassy tea beverage and the popcorn chicken, the blood rice cake... all in all I'd recommend as they are legit Taiwanese flavor, just hope they stick around for a while... Not sure if it's the norm but the pricing was a bit steep. Definitely not comparing to Taiwan but a beef noodle in my experience has been typically under $20... but I'm not from California so I can't speak to it... just thought the $23-25 price tag was quite steep for a bowl of beef noodle... tasty but I had to ask for pickled mustard as it did not automatically comes with it.... Good luck to them!

However, once you get inside, the food they serve is truly impressive. We tried the beef noodles and the dumplings (both excellent, as expected), but the real standout was the cold noodles. They were absolutely novel! I hadn't tasted anything quite like them before, and they were an utter delight. Everything we ate hit every flavor note you could possibly want from a great Asian restaurant. I will definitely be back soon to explore the rest of their menu!

Saw the red bold letters driving by on Duarte Rd and immediately made plans to come here for Xi'an…read morefood! We don't usually see specific Xi'an food around all the time, so my fiancé and I were excited to come back. Now we know, Xi'an Foodie has delicious, authentic Xi'an food here at affordable prices as well. We go all out when we are trying somewhere new for the first time usually, so we got 5 dishes for less than $75 including tax and tip. We ordered the 1) Smashed Cucumber Salad 黄瓜, 2) Sesame Sauce Cold Spicy Noodle 凉拌辣面, 3) Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍, 4) Li Lao San's Cumin Lamb Hamburger / 李老三孜然羊汉堡, and 5) Youpo Noodles with Braised Beef Brisket, Beef Paste & Fried Eggs with Tomato / 油泼+三合一. First, they have the best Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) in SoCal that I've had - they are amazingly chewy and wide, and their tangy savory sauce is the best. When I think about liangpi, I'm definitely going to Xi'an food for another slurp of these noodles mmmm! I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful. They brought all of our dishes out in less than 10 minutes and our whole table was filled. We ordered way too much food, and we know it, so we got to take it all home to enjoy for another meal. We will definitely be coming back for their lamb stew, liang pi, and wide noodles!

I have been a long time fan of Ding's Garden. I went to their original location in Rowland Heights…read moremany moons ago but have been only returning to their Arcadia location.  There's so many good items on their menu but here are my usual go to: *XLB - juicy and full of flavor. definitely tastes great eating it fresh *fried pork chop (appetizer)  - perfect portion size and crunch.  *shanghai noodles - my kids love this dish and we usually have to order 2. *shrimp fried rice - this one is a good portion size and tastes great.  *pan fried wontons - this is my hubby's favorite. we like to dip this with the XLB dipping sauce. this is surprisingly pretty juicy too so be prepared for it to burst.  If you can't tell by now, this is a great go to spot to fill the belly and not break the bank. Staff are really nice and on top of it. A clean establishment and this Yelper definitely gives it 2 thumbs up.   Tips: Indoor seating only. Accepts credit card. Restroom available for customers. Ask for the sweet chili oil. That's the best, that they keep in a cold fridge. Made fresh and is a great addition to your dishes. Parking is shared with other local businesses i.e. Vons, subway, Yifang, etc.

My friend and I were craving Taiwanese food and came across this spot. We ordered the beef roll,…read morebeef noodle soup and the pork chop fried rice (not pictured, was too hungry). All of the dishes tasted so good. It had a comforting feeling to it. My favorite was the pork chop fried rice. The fried rice had wok hei to it and was flavorful. It didn't just taste like rice and eggs. The pork chop was also very tender! My friend's favorite was the beef noodle soup. He's Taiwanese and ranks this as one of the best ones he's ever had! The beef noodle soup was also flavorful and they give a good amount of tender beef pieces. The beef roll was just okay. The dough could've been a bit thicker and crunchier. It had the texture of a tortilla instead. Service was excellent! The server was quick and attentive. We received our food within 10 minutes of ordering. There is plenty of seating inside and parking is in a shared lot with other businesses. Would come back and would also recommend!

My fiancé and I surprised ourselves with this meal to be honest, and decided we have to come back to Mr. Champion more. We ordered 2 Lemon Iced Teas, because well, you just gotta when you are having Cantonese breakfast. This or a hot milk tea. To eat, their Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls (comes with 4 rolls) and a Pork & Preserved Egg Porridge. The Pork & Preserved Egg Porridge was just right - the right amount of rice and liquid, without the rice totally falling apart. It also had the perfect amount of pork and preserved egg that me and my fiancé weren't fighting over who gets more of what haha! Ok now, the only thing missing for me in the porridge was pickled veggies. Yes, I could've ordered pickled veggies, but I saw they were charging $2.30 for it for some reason. Is a side of pickled veggies really cost $2.30? Would this have made my porridge more enjoyable if I had it? Yes, because I am used to adding zha cai in my porridge so why not just add the pickled veggies to the price of the porridge and give the customer the option to add it or not on the side? *crying face* I understand I know just went on a tangent about pickled veggies, but I hope a reader can understand my dilemma haha! A great part of my day was to have enjoyed their Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls. They come with 4 per order, so if you are in a group of 2, it's perfect to share and enjoy 2 rolls per person. Their noodle rolls are probably the best I've had in the states. They are perfectly plump, tender, and slightly chewy. A little translucent, very delicate. They are what I imagine if I was having a dream of eating noodle rolls. So yes, if you visit here, definitely get their noodle rolls. They helped me with my dilemma about the pickled veggies with my porridge a lot haha! Their service was quick and efficient. We were seated in a minute and finished our meal in under 30 minutes. It's the perfect place for a quick breakfast that is affordable, delicious, and totally worth your wallet. I'll definitely see Mr. Champion soon!

We came around 10 am so we got seated right away. It's a pretty shall space inside. The rice rolls were about $6 a plate for 4 rolls each. It was pricey and not that special. The beef one was especially disappointing given that the meat is just small chunks sprinkled on top. As for the noodles, it was decent with a big portion of noodles for about $15. It comes with a few stalks of veggie and then some protein. The soup was pretty oily though, especially for the pickled veggie noodle one.

This mall is the place to be, plenty going on and such a huge selection of restaurants and a great food court too. We decided we wanted to do a sit-down restaurant instead of the food court. I took my friend to the outdoor section at this mall, which he hasn't been to in decades. We decided to go with this place for dinner. We sat outside since weather was beautiful, but there was seating available inside and outside with no wait time for a table for two. Ambiance here is nice. Service was good. I really appreciated the napkins they gave us in packets - so adorable and very sanitary. We ordered the Cumin Lamb and White Rice. It was delicious and portion sizing - perfect for two, not too much and not too little. Price to portion sizing was fair. Quality/taste/flavor - hits the spot. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for a nice Sichuan Cuisine spot in the area!

The staff was always nearby so we got to ask about closing the shade for the sun to not shine on us as well as how to order, drinks, and recommendations. We ordered the fish set combo menu, Dan Dan noodles, sesame noodles, and a kids meal, the set menu comes with the sauerkraut fish, cucumbers, crispy pork strips, cumin lamb, stir fry vegetables, beancurd sticks, spicy chicken, rice, and fried mochi. The kids meal was tomato and egg noodles which comes with 2 chicken wings, fruit (melon and cherry tomatoes), and broccoli. They had a rice version and beef fried rice as other options. The kids meal was so cute, it comes in an adorable plate with dividers, the only downside is the utensil which was a large spork didn't work well sticking up noodles or stabbing the broccoli. The fish was really good, spicy, not too oil, sour in a good way. The Dan Dan noodles were very good, it was missing the ground meat part of the sauce but the nutty flavor and numbing spice really kicked in nicely. The spicy chicken was very spicy, it gives you a tingly sensation at first and then a smooth heat at the back of your mouth. My favorite is cumin lamb, good ratio of lean and fatty parts, thinly sliced and seasoned well, served on a hot plate and sizzling. There was a hiccup with the kids meal so I served my son sesame noodles instead since he didn't want the rice but staff was quick to fix the mix up. Everything was delicious, service was great, and the wait was only a few minutes. Would come again but only if we are a group 6 or less. They had their own restroom which is great because most places in the mall don't have restrooms so you have to go out instead.
