The service and food was great. Love the unique spices used. I got the lamb shank plate but substituted with a grilled shank. I didn't realize lamb ribs were almost entirely fat. The pickled carrots are really good too. Plenty of parking.

Phenomenal grilled lamb rib and shank combo. So tender and seasoned to perfection, even the rice. The pickled veggies is a well-balanced complement. The included soup with winter melon was a great addition to the cool weather in SoCal. Casual dining scene, ordering through the phone and able to pay on there as well.

Great food and great service nice ambiance. Great quality meat. Must try it out experience.

The food is a little pricey but I genuinely think it's worth it. I recommend getting the grilled lamb ribs because the grilled fat renders it crispy, and it comes with a dry spice rub that gives it a flavorful kick, not at all spicy. Everything comes out piping hot which is also a great touch. The cherry on top is how quick the food arrives, which is incredibly satisfying service. Another added bonus is they offer disposable gloves so you can avoid greasy hands. There are 4 big tables inside as well as bar seating along the wall, and a few outdoor tables as well, with calm ambient music playing to serenade your deliciously special yet casual meal.

First time here after a friend's recommendation, and wow--this place is basically a love letter to lamb. The menu is simple, straightforward, and very confident about it (as it should be). My mom ordered the lamb skewers, and let me tell you... this was the best lamb we've had since eating it in China 20 years ago. That's a bold statement, but the skewers earned it. Big portions, perfectly seasoned, and zero dryness. I went with the lamb shank plate, and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender with absolutely none of that gamey smell people worry about. My favorite part? The rice. It soaked up all the lamb and carrot juices like it knew exactly what its job was. I could've eaten a whole bowl of just that. They also give you these small side dishes--pickled garlic, carrot, and cucumber--which made the meal feel extra thoughtful. Overall, just a fantastic food experience. My only suggestion: please expand and open more dining areas--this place deserves more space for all the lamb lovers out there.

The textbook example of doing a few things really well. We tried the lamb ribs, lamb shank and grilled skewers - essentially the whole menu and it was simple and delicious and felt like a warm hug. The braised lamb cuts were fall off the bone tender and the skewers were a spicy/chewy contrast. The lamb is high quality and not gamey at all. Service also was so genuinely kind and felt like we were being hosted by a friend (though it was our first time there). I really wanted to try the yogurt dessert but was too stuffed - something to look forward to next time!

We ordered the lamb shank, ribs, and skewers and all were delicious. My kids loved it as well! My kids are 11, 11, & 12. Staff were very friendly & we were seated right away. Restaurant was a bit small but it was not busy when we came and it was also clean. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others.

Grilled Ribs and Shank
Thomas T.

Absolutely love this spot in San Gabriel and it's no different at this location as well. Perfectly tender lamb cuts every time with no gameyness! It's truly my guilty pleasure... every week LOL be sure to try the Shank + Rib combo then get it grilled on the next visit it's life changing!! Simple no frills quaint spot for some quality food, it's basically a weekly ritual to come here

We found M Joy in Anaheim because we were craving for some lamb shank. We got there on a Sunday afternoon; it wasn't busy but tables were never empty. We asked the cashier what was good for first timer, she recommended #3, rib and shank, both broiled and grilled. We also got extra grilled ribs because why not. The set came with rice with lamb fat, soup, fresh pickled veggies, hot oil and extra crushed seasoned hot peppers. For drinks, we got the salty milk tea to share, you can drink it hot or over ice. We recommend drink it hot, it was creamy, salty, and addicting. The dish size was pretty big. It was a bit pricy, but we were full from it. We really loved the grilled lamb. They were crispy outside and tender juicy inside. It wasn't even gamey, and one spoon of the hot oil and pepper dipped lamb, rice, and pickled veggies, a bite of heaven. Overall we had a fantastic experience. The cashier was friendly and helpful, even had a little social chat. Food was just delicious and unique. Definitely a return spot for us since we still want to try their lamb skewers. They also have a restaurant in SGV. If you order more than 2 combos, you can get rice refill for free.

05 Lamb Skewers Combo Plate

Nice 3-Lamb Skewer combo plate, savory and spicy seasoning on the lamb. The pickled red onions and the marinated grated carrots paired well to cool down the heat from the spices, but not overwhelmingly spicy. The rice also was very fluffy, buttery, and seasoned well with bits of carrots. Simple, yet full of so many doffrent bold flavors. Definitley hit thr spot. Will be back tk try rhe lamb shank. Clean cozy spot finalize midday lunch.

Wow! Amazing quality lamb good lamb is hard to find and we drive 40 min for this place All natural New Zealand halal lamb ! You can taste the difference

Jerome A.

The food was so good! We had the delicious lamb and rib here steamed and it was melting off the bone. Highly recommend it! And service was good, fast and easy. Small restaurant but easily able to accommodate our family and easily located in the plaza. Servers are friendly !

Rib And Shank (For One)
Kristine Y.

Very simple setting for such a delicious meal! The rest itself is small, bright and clean. You order using their QR code. The food itself was delicious! The lamb was so darn tender you just needed a fork. The seasonings were spot on yummy. We had the lamb served all three ways and honestly you can't go wrong with any of them. I myself liked the grilled shank the best. Loved their dipping seasoning so much I wanted to take it home! Don't forget to wash down your meal with their tea and for sure try their yogurt. The yogurt was just the right texture and sweetness!

Raising Cane's is one of our absolute go to comfort food spots. The chicken is always hot, crispy,…read moreand perfectly cooked, and the consistency is what keeps us coming back every time. When we want something simple, satisfying, and guaranteed to be good, Cane's never disappoints. The service is fast and friendly, the portions are filling, and that Cane's sauce just makes everything better. It's the kind of place you can rely on for a feel good meal any day. Definitely one of our favorites.

I had to wait a while for them to fulfill my order. I was supposed to have a large drink with the Caniac Combo and the 3 Finger Combo got a regular drink. I told them specifically which drink I wanted large and which drink I wanted as a regular. Well, they gave me both drinks in a REGULAR cup. At this point, I was so flustered that I didn't notice until AFTER I had left. I am so frustrated. 12/9/25 Used my gift card today I received from a student. Hands down best chicken ever! My current favorite is the 3 Finger Combo: 3 tenders, crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, and a fountain drink for under $12. My son is VERY picky when it comes to chicken tenders (usually just eating the breading and not the chicken). However, he ate EVERYTHING! Their sauce is also a MUST! I suggest ordering additional original sauces for your order. I love dipping my toast in it too! Pricing is very reasonable compared to other fast food restaurants. The quality is definitely there! I've only been to the drive thru (there are 2 lanes). Highly recommend!

We ordered at the counter. The wait to order was short. The service staff were fast and efficient. We found a booth and waited for our order. The restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were okay. There was a water leak in the men's room that made the floor wet in one area. The restaurant was decorated nicely. It had a nice diner vibe. The noise level was okay, We ordered a Junior Burger, a Bacon Burger Combo and a side of French Fries. Our granddaughter requested the Hamburger Kid's Meal with Apple Juice. Our order was ready rather quickly. All the food came out hot. The Bacon Burger and Junior Burger tasted good. Both were flavorful and were well dressed. The buns were good. The fries were just okay. Not great but not bad. The granddaughter loved her meal. She ate over half of the hamburger (pretty good for her age). She ate all of her fries and part of mine. The portions on the Kid's meal were generous. The added bonus were the two lollipops that came with. This meal was in a kid friendly paper bag. The price was a bit up there but that's pretty much standard at most burger places.
