    Beef burrito
    Gordon L.

    Tried this place for breakfast since it opens early (8am), and food overall was fresh and good! Food we had: 1. Beef burrito - the beef burrito was a nice portion, with a crispy exterior and nice sliced beef on the inside with sauce inside 2. Lamb and cilantro pancake - set of 4, comes out hot and bursting with juices, eat with caution, but very satisfying 3. Soy milk - fresh, unsweetened soy milk with a good portion (enough for two people) Overall we paid around ~$30 for our meal. Not bad overall, food was fresh and prepared within 15 minutes. We ordered to-go. One thing I think can be improved is the soy milk was given in a bowl takeout container instead of a cup which made it hard to drink from.

    Lamb and zucchini meat pie
    Lin F.

    Stopped by for some lamb and zucchini meat pies. Takes a while because everything is made to order but worth the wait. The skin is the perfect thickness, the filling is full of savory juices. I intended to eat half but convinced myself that it just wouldn't be the same if I took it home and let it cool. Just beware of the hot juices: wear an outfit you don't mind staining and nibble a hole and pour out the juices into your spoon like XLB. Your mouth will thank you. The cashier speaks English but you can also order from the QR code menu, which is in English.

    They take a 2 hour break in the middle of the day, so the hours can be a bit limited and this is a pretty popular restaurant. Only a table or 2 were still free. Despite this, our food came out pretty quickly. It's a bit of an aged restaurant, but you can tell it's a community staple and favorite and it's a small mom and pop restaurant. It's as they say, it's nostalgic, Chinese comfort food. Reminds me of going over to your family's house if anything for the ambiance. We got the: 1) Shredded Potato with Sauce: -One of my musts for appetizers. It's a cold dish, but it's refreshing and addicting, a bit oily, but the crunchy texture of the potatoes make up for it. Great palate cleanser between the hearty umami flavors and the carbs of the other dishes that we got. This was enough to share amongst 3 hungry adults. 2) Lamb and Green Onion Pancakes: -These are stuffed pan fried savory "pancakes". Think of a giant wheel hot pocket if that makes any sense. Filled to the brim. Super moist and juicy, soupy meat in the middle with green onion dispersed through out. It'll start leaking the soup so you can rub the exterior dough shell into it. -Love the slight crisp on the bottom and tops too. -A MUST if you are dining here. 3) Pork and Fennel Steam Buns: -I love fennel as an herb. Gives a slight licorice taste to the meat. Very earthy and yummy. 4) Lamb and Chinese Cabbage Buns: -Love lamb. Don't always see it in steamed buns either, so we had to get this. Slight sour taste from the cabbage too. Good stuff. The buns are hearty and perfectly steamed. Again, super juicy and filled with the juice of the meats. The shop was nice enough to throw in an extra of one of our buns. Thank you! If I don't miss the timing, I'll definitely stop by again.

    讓自己心態平和,會讓生活別有一番趣味,有時從容些,讓自己享受一個人的日子,靜聽風雨,慢看花開,安靜與熱鬧的日子,都可以是美麗的人生~ 今天是跟隨我家美麗的小師妹,也是美食駕到版主的腳步,來吃她大力推薦的餡餅, 吃餡餅,之前只知道爾灣的半畝圓, 生意很好,常常要等一陣子, 食神小師妹推薦的這家在 Alhambra, 專門做麵食的地方,聽了從小就是吃貨的食神師妹的話, 點了豬肉大蔥餡餅, 100 分,又香又好吃, 一點都不輸半畝圓,配上小米粥, 絕配!我們還點了個三鮮跟牛肉包子, 我跟朋友都覺得這包子外皮不錯,內餡三鮮就沒有豬肉大蔥好吃, 但牛肉的還行,兩個老人家, 這兩樣再加上小米粥, 豆漿,就吃不完, 包子的份量實在太大, 餡餅跟包子都有剩還帶回家了, 喜歡吃麵食的, 這個都是手工現作的, 時間會比較久一些,東西很好吃歐!

    Beef soup !!!
    Nike I.

    We landed here as a plan B. (Cuz the hipster spot down the street had a 40+ min wait!). I'm convinced THIS was the place we were SUPPOSED to be at all long. Let me run down what we had: Warm soy milk (yes, I'm told by our friends who lived in China, it's quick protein), cucumber salad (crunchy deliciousness), puffy bread (I'm sure I have the name wrong... great for dipping in the cuke garlic juice), lamb cilantro pie !!!! It's hotttttt steamy juicyyyyyyy flavorful and heavenlyyyyy!!! , beef soup (you want this!!! The noodles are just perfect and the beef is tender as is the baby book choy.... And we had dumplings .... Yesssss a must. Fishcake and beef dumplings. Both outstanding. By the time we left, there was a line outside. This place is small and homey. Lots of locals. I will be back. Drooling.

    NO FUSS DUMPLINGS yummy, satisfying, and meat filled dumplings. A hole in the wall with aunties in the back making great dumplings. Highly recommend the pancake pork dumplings. Crispy to almost perfection and so juicy! Not even that oily too. Quick service too.

    Pan Fried Pork Buns were my personal favorite. The Leak Dumplings were a close second. Definitely no frills restaurant offering an array of buns, pies and dumplings.

    Wonton soup, chive pocket
    Audrey F.

    A casual spot for dumplings and noodles. The spot is fairly small with around five or six tables. You order from a QR code, a waiter brings you your food, and you pay at the counter. Upon walking in, I was a little turned off because I noticed an odd smell and my table had soy sauce residue left on it, but I stayed because of the good reviews and because they make their dumplings in house. You can even see behind the counter the space where they make their dumplings and you can buy frozen dumplings to go. I tried the wonton soup, fried mini dumplings, and chive pockets and thought everything was tasty. The wontons and dumplings were definitely the highlights. They were savory, juicy, and porky. Everything is made fresh to order so they warn you that it could take 15 minutes for your food to come out but our dishes came out fairly quickly.

    MUST TRY!!! Everything was great here. The hot and sour soup was delicious, as well as all the dumplings (pan fried and steamed pork buns). I'm just surprised how fair the prices were. For 4 dumpling dishes, 1 noodle soup, 1 small soup, and 1 scallion pancake, the total was only $86 after tip and tax! The service and ambiance can't get more Chinese, which I love!

    Meat pie filled with beef and green onion
    Maria L.

    Today I was craving Chinese meat pie. I ordered the meat pie filled with beef and green onion , beef noodle soup and onion pancake to go. The order of meat pie comes in four pies. It was delicious. The beef noodle soup was also good. I did not liked the green onion pancake. It was kind of thick and it doesn't contain many layers. I would not order the green onion pancake again. But I would definitely order the meat pies and beef noodle soup again. This restaurant is very small. Seating for dine in is very limited. Service is very slow. If you are in a time crunch, call ahead to place your order and do take out instead of dining in at the restaurant.

    Sometimes you crave scallion pancakes and you find yourself in a quaint, hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant to fill your craving. Of course, my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I ordered way more than I could comfortably eat in a single sitting. I got scallion pancakes, beef and onion pies, and egg and chive pies. They were all so fresh and delicious, steaming hot and crispy. The beef and onion pies turned out to be full of juice, which was a surprise to me, but not a bad thing at all. The food takes a little time but it was well worth the wait. Service is kind and straightforward, which I appreciated. You order on your phone and pay with the server. All in all, a good experience, and worth coming back.

    Pancake with egg
    Yu W.

    Highly highly recommend for takeout because their dumplings and baos are simply incredible, whether hot or frozen. Reminds me of the ones my grandpa makes! Would not recommend dine in unless you plan to wait an hour after ordering to start getting your food. Middle aged lady at the cash register is also just so grumpy and rude, like you're bothering her by being there. Traditional Chinese restaurants aren't known for their friendliness, but she had by far the worst attitude of them all. The younger lady that took over (because we were that long for 4 dishes) was much friendlier and helpful.

    The food is delicious but a bit pricey! The place is very small and cramped, not suitable for a big party! I prefer to take out next time!

    Hidden Gem in Alhambra - Finally Tried It After 4 Years of Driving By!…read more I've lived in Alhambra for the last 4 years and drove past this place almost every day, always assuming it was just another hot pot spot. It never looked super busy, so I kept putting it off. Big mistake--don't let that happen to you like it did to me! We finally went in and ordered a bunch: the Spicy Beef Shank Rice Noodle, Rattan Pepper Sliced Beef Rice Noodle, Popcorn Chicken, Sesame Balls, Popping Brown Sugar Rice Cake, Fried Milk Rolls, and Fried Taro Balls. Everything was outstanding. The noodles were amazing--fresh, chewy, with high-quality ingredients you can really taste in every bite. The broths had that perfect spicy kick without being overwhelming, and the beef was super tender. My wife and I couldn't stop eating; literally everything we tried was delicious. She especially loved the Fried Taro Balls--they were crispy outside, soft and flavorful inside. The sides/snacks were all hits too: the Popcorn Chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, the Sesame Balls and Popping Brown Sugar Rice Cake brought great texture and sweetness, and the Fried Milk Rolls were a fun surprise. Service was top-notch--shoutout to Icey, who took such great care of us. One of the best and most attentive experiences we've had in a while. If you're in Alhambra and love good food, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't go wrong here--highly recommend! 5 stars all the way.

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.

On a Saturday evening, my husband and I decided to grab dinner here. Because we parked in the shared parking lot, we entered the restaurant through the back. We were immediately greeted upon entering. After being seated and looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Fish Tofu Congee, $10.50 prior to tax- This meal truly nourished my soul because I was really sick a few days before and hardly ate anything. The congee was nice and hot and thick, just the way I like it. Portion wise, this is perfect for 2- 3 people to share. But again because I had not eaten much for the last few days, I ended up eating most of it (lol, had not realized how hungry I was until I was eating this). My husband did enjoy this congee too. Beef Stew Noodle Soup, $14.95 prior to tax- My husband ordered this dish and thought the soup was flavorful and the noodles had a nice chew. I also liked this dish and thought it was delicious. My husband finished most of this dish. ------------------------------ (Total= $28.10 after tax, prior to tip) Service was friendly. And because the restaurant is on the small side, it was very easy to get a server's attention if you needed something. Although I did speak mostly Cantonese when I was here (I am actually trying to make myself speak Cantonese more), you can order in English. So you shouldn't have any trouble when you dine here. Overall, coming to The Congee was the right choice for dinner and so glad we did. I do see myself coming back here for another meal in the near future. Please note that there is a unisex restaurant towards the back of the restaurant, right next to the back entrance/ exit. The restroom itself had all the basic essentials (running water, toilet paper, paper towels and soap) but wasn't the cleanest. It was decent at best.

They lacked both the expected spiciness and the salty flavor. I believe I had anticipated a taste similar to crispy spicy salted pork chops. After just one bite, I decided to take the remainder home with the intention of making them crispier myself. The Shrimp Wonton Noodles in Soup certainly deserve a five-star rating. The dish featured four generously sized shrimp wontons, all amply filled with shrimp. I did sample the noodles, but unfortunately, I was too satiated to fully appreciate them. I am looking forward to returning for the Shrimp Wonton Noodles in Soup.
