Didn't even know about this place until I search for dumplings on yelp…read more Let me tell you, now that I found it. I will definitely be frequenting this place a lot. I personally love their spicy wonton soup, but I've also tried the regular soup and the broth is amazing either way. I just prefer the spicier version. It's hard to really say what you should order here, I personally like the spicy wonton soup, but every single one of their appetizers that I have tried are amazing, unfortunately, I haven't tried too many of their main dishes as I tend to be a creature of habit, but I'm sure just like with all the appetizers that I've tried everything you order here will come out amazing. Anytime it's cold or starts to rain, this is my go to spot for a nice warm soup

It is located in a small plaza surrounded by other businesses, sitting right in the corner as you enter. Walking inside, the interior is reminiscent of classic Hong Kong style cafes, featuring various booths and large dining tables with tablecloths. You are greeted immediately by a BBQ station on the right, though it was not fully stocked with ducks or other roasted meats. Throughout the dining room, there are plenty of photos of the different dishes they offer. We had a party of eight to celebrate a birthday, and the staff was kind enough to hold our cake in the back for us. We ordered the following: Specialty Fried Fish: This was the absolute highlight of the evening. The fish was incredibly fresh, nicely fried, and contained roe inside. It was served on top of a soy and oil mix. The freshness of the fish really stood out. Golden Eel Clay Pot Rice (Large): The rice preparation was very unique. The pot was packed with plenty of eel, and the rice was already mixed for you when it arrived. The flavor was light and not heavy on soy sauce, with lots of fresh cilantro and onion mixed in. There were also plenty of crunchy rice bits on the side. A very solid dish. Tiger Prawns with Vermicelli: This was a bit on the salty side, but the prawns themselves were delicious and had a great light braised flavor. Ong Choy with Tofu Sauce: A great dish featuring crunchy greens stir fried in a light tofu sauce. Our entire party finished this plate. Stir Fried Green Beans: Another major highlight of the night. The green beans were perfectly blistered and coated in what tasted like an XO style sauce. It had a really unique and lightly spicy flavor. Honey Walnut Shrimp: Probably the lowest point of the meal. The shrimp are uniquely fried and layered on top of wonton strips, which I have never seen before. However, the walnuts tasted a bit old, making the dish just okay overall. Peking Pork Chop: These featured a nice sweet and tangy Peking sauce over the pork chops. The cuts of meat used were less fatty, which I really appreciated. Filet Mignon French Style: This dish was good, but my only complaint is that there was a lot of excess oil pooled at the bottom of the plate. Otherwise, it still tasted fine. Overall, this restaurant did it right. The food tasted noticeably lighter than many other Chinese restaurants I have been to. This was our first time here, except for two people in our group, so we were all very curious about how things would turn out. I would definitely come back to try other items on their menu.

Hao Cafe in Duarte is a…read morelittle off the beaten path, but after trying it, I can confidently say it's one of the better Hong Kong cafes around. A few things worth noting: - Get the BBQ pork. It was tender and incredibly juicy. Their BBQ meats are noticeably better than a more popular competitor -- juicy, flavorful, and not dry. - The breakfast 2-item combo is totally worth it. Generous portions and easily enough to share between 2-3 people. - The lemon iced tea and HK milk teas are refillable. - The restaurant itself is small, but so is the staff size, so expect things to move at a more relaxed pace. This is one of those places that may not be the first name that comes to mind when you're craving a HK cafe, but it should be on your list.

The xiao long bao is melt-in-your-mouth with a warm broth, the stir fried beef noodle has the perfect flavor palette, stir-fried green beans the perfect side, and shrimp fried rice was a great addition to more savory meat or vegetable dishes. The food quality is astounding as there was truly no difference from its counterpart and, as a big bonus, was almost half the price. Side note, my grandparents were so impressed that they took many business cards and kept pushing that they wanted to come back next week. The service is quick and the servers are friendly and always open for a chat or recommendation. Coming in here, I didn't realize that this was a Southern China establishment, and it was a nice surprise when waiters spoke Cantonese to us as it made my grandparents feel a lot more comfortable. The ambiance too was phenomenal as everything, from the cleanliness to the restaurant layout, felt warm and welcoming. As a whole, the environment supplemented the food really well into making the perfect meal experience. This really is the perfect Din Tai Fung dupe and I 100% recommend coming and trying out what you have always wanted to order at DTF but felt was too expensive.

So imagine trying to get any service when she has to attend to the other tables as well. She will leave you mid ordering to handle something in the kitchen to grab a dish then come back to take ur order later. They should just make this a counter register ordering spot. where you get a number and grab your food at the counter when its ready. Cuz i sure as heck wasnt tipping 15% for this service.

A pretty spacious place with lots of parking. Lots of tables inside with a private room in the back that held about 8 tables or so. The food let's see, let's break it down: Sweet & sour fish - 8/10 nice flavor, wish the fish was a little crispier Shaken beef - 8/10 nice flavor, tender sautee string beans - 8/10 decent salt & pepper squid - 1/10 - no flavor, batter was a little weird crispy chow mein - 1/10 - no flavor honey walnut shrimp - 6/10 not bad but also i've had way better Overall, I think its a decent place for what it is & where it is. Obviously if you go into the San Gabriel area there are way better places. BUT for being in Covina & I think the pricing was decent, it was cool. Service was okay, men only staff apparently. They were attentive, pretty funny too

Stopped by with my family for my brothers birthday. We were sat towards the back and noticed…read moreseveral sodas already on the table. After we started to skim the menu, I noticed that most of the menu items did not have pricing information clearly displayed. Since we were a large party, we decided to order the dinner package. At least that had a pricing displayed. Once the food arrived, it was extremely bland. Not only that but this was the most I've paid for mid-tier Chinese food in a while. Since when did Chinese food get so pricey? Pan fried noodles were ok, walnut shrimp was good, pork chops were decent but everything else was mid! Oh and those sodas are about $7,xx bux each so stick to hot tea. Also, they wrote in a suggested tip amount and underlined 16% but probably charged the 18%. It's also calculated after tax. It's supposed to be calculated based on pre-tax. I didn't want to fuss over the bill while the server stood over me. This will probably be the last time I step foot in this place. Not worth the price point at all.

Although these items did not taste spectacular, there's an admirable beauty with its satisfying texture and freshness. I arrived at Cr8zy Bao (West Covina) on Tuesday (around 9:15AM). This location requested 10 extra minutes to setup. After perusing its adjacent market, I returned. Cr8zy Bao (West Covina) was ready for business at 9:25AM. Staff is courteous and professional. Staff (name on receipt - Yaya) is helpful and hardworking. Yaya answered all my questions, and Yaya moved quickly. I ordered the King Steamed Meat Bao ($9.14 - 3pc) and 10 Won Bread ($5). The food was ready in 14 minutes and 54 seconds. The 10 Won Bread has three filling choices: mozzarella cheese, custard, or red bean. I selected the custard filling. The 10 Won Bread had a thin, crisp, and crunchy outer crust; its similar to a finely toasted waffle. Its inner layer is very soft and spongey. Breaking apart this toasted pastry, hot & gooey custard cream bursts forward. I enjoyed the sensation and mild-sweetness of this sticky, flowing liquid. The King Steamed Meat Bao also tasted freshly made. It avoids being dry; rather, its bun is supple, buoyant, and springy. Its filling tastes fresh and slightly savory. Its mashed meat and diced glass noodles add a pleasant bounce. Although the filling lacked any memorable taste, I appreciated how the filling wasn't salty. The King Steamed Meat Bao's filling reminded me of freshly mashed meatball. Regarding ambiance, it's nonexistent at Cr8zy Bao (West Covina). The location is a food stand in a market. Thankfully, its counters and floors are clean. Also, I felt safe since a security guard is stationed by the entrance. Fortunately, there's plenty of indoor and outdoor tables to use since it's connected to the Haven City Market. Bright, bubbly music appeared around 10AM; however, it was silent prior. Overall, Cr8zy Bao (West Covina) is a good experience. If you like baos and dumplings, this location is a solid choice. The portions are filling; the food is fresh; and its cooks put visible care into their items. 4.5 out of 5

The lady at the counter that took my order didn't speak any English. When I got my hotteok order,…read morethere was only one but the menu says there are 4. When I asked she had only charge me for a single one which was fine but another worker had to come check the order for me and explain the mix up. Got the cold noodles, I liked that the ice added to the noodle was iced broth so it didn't water down the soup. There's no meat at all, just cucumber, radish and half an egg. The noodles were gummy and stuck together in a giant clump which made it hard to eat. For $17 with no meat and overly soft noodles, this was not worth it. The cheese coin was a total disappointment. It was mostly mochi like breading and very little cheese that didn't have any pull to it. Not sure what cheese they used but it's not anything like the ones in Korea. The hotteok was the biggest disappointment and I'm glad they messed up and only charged me for one. It came like the cheese coin which was my first inkling something is wrong. The inside was also mostly mochi chewy bread with a very thin layer of something that is only a little bit sweet. Absolutely nothing like a real hotteok and did not look anything like the picture on the menu. This is a one and done for me.

Tian You Feng Dumpling House is a local neighborhood and family-owned Chinese eatery in West Covina…read morethat specializes in various dumplings. [Parking]: The dumpling house shares the same plaza parking lot as Tokyo Central in West Covina and our party had no issue finding an available parking spot. [Atmosphere]: A fairly standard no-frills Chinese restaurant setup with indoor tables only and our party was able to grab a table immediately at 7:30 PM on Saturday. [Menu]: Customers use a Sharpie to circle and place orders on a laminated menu. Yelp's top highlighted items are Beef Noodle Soup, Juicy Pork Dumplings, and Shrimp and Pork Wontons. The menu highlights recommended dishes with a thumbs-up icon and those dishes include #6 Braised Beef Noodle Soup, #14 Shrimp & Chicken Dumplings, #20 Shrimp & Pork Wontons in Chili Sauce, #21 Juicy Pork Dumplings (aka XLB), and #27 Pan-Fried Pork Buns. *** #6 Braised Beef Noodle Soup (mild - $14.99): S-tier broth and noodles. The noodles had soft texture and the broth was clear & flavorful. Spicy level was also just right. In addition, the broth did not taste particularly oily. The meat was good, but I prefer the beef tendon from some other SGV (San Gabriel Valley) beef noodle soup spots. #14 Shrimp & Chicken Dumpling (10 pieces - $12.99): Excellent chewy dough and I actually liked these dumplings more than the XLBs. I am also a fan of the garlic & oyster dipping sauce. S-tier dumplings. #21 Juicy Pork Dumpling (aka XLB 8 pieces - $13.49): Interesting broth with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. The dough was a bit thicker than I would have liked and the flavor was not as good as newer spots like Yum Long in Monterey Park, but still a solid A-tier dish. *** Overall a solid 4.5-star for the food (bonus points for the beef noodle soup and shrimp & chicken dumplings), bump up to 5-star for efficient service, easy parking, and no wait on weekends.
