I usually pay attention to what kind of containers restaurants use when ordering takeout. This time, I ordered nearby because my child had class. It is obvious this restaurant cares more about saving money than customer health. Beef chow fun in Styrofoam is questionable, but putting freshly fried spring rolls directly into it without any foil lining is completely unacceptable. When we opened the food, the Styrofoam had already melted from the heat and oil. I had to throw it away for safety reasons. Absolutely frustrating and disappointing. ZERO stars. read more

Mr. Champion is located in the same plaza as CVS with a shared parking lot. I took my mom to Mr. Champion for a late breakfast this past Saturday. We came in around 10:45 am and waited only a little over 5 minutes for a table. We were given menus and ended up purchasing: Fish Porridge, $8.50 prior to tax- The portion size for this is enough for 2- 3 people. The porridge was good and seasoned well. I like that it was thick and I liked the fish in it. My mom also liked the porridge. We had some leftovers to take home, which is a fair portion to have reheated later on. Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll, $4.50 prior to tax- Mr. Champion is known for their rice rolls, so we knew we had to order some. We opted for the shrimp rice noodles, which came in an order of 4. The noodles were good and I liked that it also came with 4 larger pieces of shrimp. We both enjoyed these. Beef Rice Noodle Roll, $4.25 prior to tax- We also got the beef rice rolls for variety. Also just as tasty as the shrimp rice rolls. Hong Kong Milk Tea, $3.75 prior to tax- I opted for this milk tea and it was good. It was a good size for the price. There is a charge if you get a refill, but I thought the amount I had was enough for me. ---------------------------------- (Total= $23.15 after tax, prior to tip) Service was very friendly and service was attentive. The employees are able to speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English so you shouldn't have trouble ordering food here. Wait time for food was not that long and our meal was a very good experience. I will definitely be back here again in the near future. Please note that for any credit card transactions under $15, there will be a $0.50 charge. The unisex restroom was also clean during this visit. read more

We ordered beef brisket rice, stir-fried bean sprouts, and shredded pork rice noodles. The food was delicious and the portions were big. Prices are very reasonable. This is a small, family style restaurant with cute and cozy decor. The staff are friendly, and even though there aren't many seats and you might need to wait, it's worth it. It's a convenient spot near home, and I go there often. I really like it. read more

The rice noodles are no joke, tasty and highly affordable. We ordered the shrimp and barbecue pork and devoured them. We also had the Beef Tripe Honeycomb Noodles and Popcorn Chicken. Everything was good. Refills for Lemon Tea and Milk Tea are $1. Not much in terms of service, but this is a great option if you are a fan of rice noodles and/or looking for a cheap, quick and delicious meal. We will be back. read more

Mr. Champion makes a unique version of cheung fun, the rice noodle rolls you usually find in a dim sum cart. Here, they specialize in rice noodle rolls with more fillings than just pork, shrimp, and beef. The super thin, steamed rice noodle sheets are twisted and braided into skinny rope like strands. The one with shrimp wins marks for presentation. Instead of chopped shrimp as a filling, the big plump shrimps are placed right in top. It's still surrounded by a sweet light soy sauce. The thin and delicate noodles provide a texture that really sets this place apart. read more

Mr. Champion - Shrimp rice noodle roll - Cantonese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Such an affordable spot if you like rice rolls and porridge. Rice rolls still range from $4-6 but the portions were pretty reasonable. This time around I got the abalone and chicken porridge, and two rice rolls (beef stew & shrimp). They were pretty generous with the amount of abalone as well as chicken in the porridge and everything tasted great. The total price came out to be $24 for two people which is pretty good for dinner. Restaurant was pretty empty an hour before closing(I was the only person there) so hopefully business picks up. This is my go-to spot for great porridge. read more

I'd bump up to 3.5 stars for the rice noodle roll, service, affordable price, and large portions. Our party of 3 paid about $34 after tax and tip for 3 dishes, and we still had enough left over for two meals. Mr. Champion was a small but cozy restaurant located in a quiet plaza. There was a giant Rilakkuma plushie at the waiting area; the walls were a cute light blue. Service was very prompt. - Pork Rice Noodle Roll ($4.25). The noodles were soft yet chewy. The tasty sweet and soy-based sauced soaked into the scrunched up folds. The ground pork filling was lightly salted. I found the dish less heavy than rice noodle rolls at dim sum. I enjoyed the small bowl of ginger chicken soup that came on the side. The clear broth was topped with green onions. - XO Sauce Beef Stew & Honeycomb Tripe Lo Mein ($11.95). Although the beef was fork tender, it was overpowered by sweetness. The gravy fully saturated the thin egg noodles, which were cooked al dente. Some vegetables garnished the plate. - Yangzhou Fried Rice ($11.50). The taste was alright. I appreciated the reduced oil, but the texture of the rice was too soft for me. The fried rice was generously tossed with little plump shrimp, cubed char siu pork, and veggies. I prefer my eggs less broken up; here, they were as small as the grains of rice. read more

I've tried a variety of rice noodle spots over the years and this one is definitely one of the top ones. My cousin and I stopped by this restaurant for breakfast prior to our drive to The Getty and it didn't disappoint. Parking: huge parking lot with a good amount of empty spots. Ambiance: clean, and simple. There's only a few tables so during rush hour, you might to have wait for a spot to dine in. We loved the wall of floating shelves-it's quite unique. Service: excellent. Our orders were taken right away and ordering to food arrival time was short. Food: amazing, just the way I imagine steamed rice rolls to taste. We ordered a big bowl of chicken and abalone porridge to share and we both ordered the pork steamed rice roll with egg for ourself. We also got the fried donut to go with our porridge at the recommendation of the waitress. The food was delicious. Portion size was very good for the price we paid. If you want to experience what authentic steamed rice roll tastes like, this is the spot to visit. The food tastes just as good as the pictures I took. read more

I saw this place on yelp and it looked very tasty. We weren't too hungry so we shared the shrimp and beef rice rolls with the popcorn chicken. Both of the rice rolls were very soft and flavorful, ask for an extra side of their sauce and add in the chili oil. Be careful it's super spicy! The popcorn chicken were bite sized pieces but very moist and didn't need a sauce. I ate some along with the rice rolls. Super cheap place to eat if you just want a snack or something light read more

My boyfriend and I came to Mr. Champions for lunch and they were so busy I figure it should be good. Every table was taken and there were folks coming for togo pick ups. There was only 3 employees in the front, one staying at the cashier and 2 trying to take orders, serve food, and clear tables. It was a mess. It was a long wait, not because the patrons took too long, but because of the restaurants inefficiencies and an element of being understaffed. We had time to look at the menu while we were waiting so we were pretty much ready to order when we got seated. We shared their Beef Stew & Wonton Noodle Soup ($10.95) and a Pork & Preserved Egg Porridge ($8.50). For how busy this place is and how long we waited, I am not impressed. The beef was chewy and tough with a lot of fatty pieces. The wontons and the broth were pretty bland. I was surprised at the large pieces of pork they used in their porridge since typically the pork that comes in porridge is typically mince pork or shredded pork. Not a complaint but an observation. The porridge was pretty average. Considering how many other businesses serve the same dishes in this area, I don't intend to come back here to wait for long waits and mediocre food. read more

Great prices and quality. Breakfast recommended daily. Highly recommend on their porridge and Rice rolls.

I love this hidden gem. It's ran by a nice lady who is super kind and attentive. The interior is a little mom and pop shop with cute Rilakkuma decor. Their menu is simple and small with a whole page for porridge. I come here every time I'm sick, especially when I don't have an appetite because this porridge tastes homemade with love and the flavors are just so delicious and simple. The porridge here is a perfect hot portion of nourishing goodness. The rice in the porridge is disintegrated into an easy-to-digest soup and there are heaps of thinly sliced ginger. Whatever porridge you get will have heaps of toppings, unlike other places where they skimp. The prices here are impossible to beat, each large bowl of porridge is under $10 and they are such large filling bowls you'll leave happy and full. read more

Service was great, very friendly and attentive. Food was decently good, but the presentation of food could use a little work.

The best rice noodles rolls I've had. Will travel just for these. They are always fresh and delicious. They are soft and silky but yet chewy with a delicious bite. These are not traditional in the sense of rolled and filled with meat but the way they are prepared makes it the most delicious and satisfying rice noodle roll I've had. The protein will be on top and you can get to make your own perfect bite with rice noodle and protein. The sauce is also perfectly balanced - salty and slightly sweet. The Chinese donuts come out hot and fresh and if you're a pro, you'll eat the donut with the rice noodle for the ultimate perfect bite. The chicken wings here are a must order as well. Crispy, light and seasoned so well. Food comes out pretty fast and staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is small and quaint. read more

Yep, add it to the list of LA trusted establishments! Plenty of available parking was a nice start to our lunch. Upon entering the restaurant I noticed that there was a child's crayon drawing on the wall. Then we sat down & they threw chopsticks on the table and didn't greet us. This is the exact moment I knew the food was gonna be good. I was not disappointed in the slightest. We didn't expect the milk teas to be served in such a massive cup. Loved it & great value for money. Wontons in the soup we're very flavorful & the broth had great balance. Chicken wings came out straight from the fryer & were crispy, juicy and had the right amount of seasoning - plus I prefer flats over drums. Fried rice at first glance seems to be the least complex dish in terms of value for money but we ate about half & had tons left over. That plate is easily holding 1 large square styrofoam takeout containers worth of food. Check came out to $37 before tip & food came out relatively quickly. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Good Cantonese food, and good service. The food there is not expensive but delicious. Highly recommended.

First time trying Mr. Champion after seeing this place pop up on on my feed many times. I finally decided to give this place a try on a cold and rainy day. These are the days I'm craving warm soupy foods and anything comforting. I see a lot of photos of their rice noodles so I decided to give a couple of them a try. Also grabbed some wonton noodles to try as well. This place is borderline Arcadia/El Monte. It's right behind a CVS. There is a parking lot and plenty of parking. Their rice noodles were really interesting, the meat/toppings were found on the outside. Normally they are on the inside and all rolled? Like the shrimp was placed on the outside and same goes for the beef. It's a deconstructed rice noodle. You can pay extra to add additional toppings too, such as egg or bean sprout. The wonton noodles were okay... please add more flavor to the soup. It was kind of blandish. if you add soy sauce, then it ups the salty flavor a bit. The pork feet wonton noodle was the best. Don't let the word pork feet scare you. It's marinated very well and full of savory and sweet flavor. There are bones, but they are big enough to manage. Overall it was a decent visit. If I were to go back, it would be for the rice noodles or the pork feet wonton noodle soup. read more

Excellent services and porridge. I like the porridge to be super hot. Clean and nice ambiance.

Small restaurant in a plaza with plenty of parking. Service was attentive and quick. We got our food fairly quick after ordering. The rice noodle dishes were great. The rice noodle is thin and didn't feel heavy at all. The toppings were great with the rice noodle. Wasn't too much or too little. The soy sauce with a little bit of sweet went perfectly. The other noodle dishes were ok. Nothing special. The wontons were good but the broth was a bit salty. The stir fry beef noodles were pretty good and not overly oily. The lo mein was slathered in beef stew gravy which I liked. Overall a good place for rice noodles. Other dishes were ok. Maybe I'll go back to try the congee. The charged extra for refilling the ice tea which was different. Most places they don't charge for refill or it's listed on the menu ahead of time if they do. read more

I learned of this spot while looking for places that do great cheung fun (rice noodle rolls), and I got to stop by while in the area. We stopped by around 2:30pm on a Sunday, and there was plenty of parking (as another Yelper noted, it shares a parking lot with a CVS). It's not a huge place, but it has a number of tables (maybe 6-8?), and we didn't have any trouble with getting seating. The prices are definitely nice - we tried the pork rice roll, beef rice roll, Yangzhou fried rice, and Thai tea! Pork rice roll: soft and squishy! There wasn't a ton of pork, but it did the trick. The pork was pretty simple, and the sauce was a little sweet and a little salty. They also have chili oil available, and it adds a nice kick! Beef rice roll: same as the pork, but the beef seemed to be slightly more seasoned? It was a little sweeter, though not sweet! This was solid, too! Yangzhou fried rice: has bbq pork and little shrimps! We were thrown off by the paper plate it was served on, but the fried rice was good. My partner enjoyed the bbq pork bits in it and noted that there were a lot of the little shrimps! Thai tea: solid! Overall, we were glad we stopped by! Service was quick, and it's not a bad place to grab some food. :) read more

Decided to try something different on Sunday morning and this place didn't disappoint. We were in the area for some errands, and I found them on Yelp because we love Hongkong cafe style food!

Food are so delish and we would come again to try other stuff! Parking was easy as well. We also love the vibe there! read more

Super low key, no frills hk style cafe that has more of the breakfast-y vibes. The jooks are all really homey and nostalgic. It's lighter than the congee places on valley and is less fatty. The super star is honestly the rice noodle rolls! So soft and delicate and made fresh to order. Dim sum rice noodles don't stand a chance compared to these fresh, soft ones! Parking is easy in a lot, service is pretty as expected for a hk place, and it does get pretty crowded by noon on a weekend. read more

Where can you get a delicious and interesting lunch with a drink for under $15 anywhere in the USA in 2026, let alone in LA? This place. I wandered in looking for lunch and ordered a beef stew rice noodle roll with a ginger tea. That alone could have been a light lunch, but I was hungry and wanted to try another variety so got a shrimp one. The noodles had a great texture and the sauces were delicious and layered. Staff was friendly and helpful and the setting was casual and cheerful. read more

A decent brunch place to dine in. I love getting their rice rolls here. Not alot of places makes this besides dimsum restaurants. My favorite is the bbq pork rice roll. Very soft rice rolls and there are only 4 rolls per order. It is pricey for tasty. Also got their pork and preserved egg porridge which is good for some light meal. Love the the porrige is soft and has no chew. The pork and egg is a great protein addition to it. Make sure to add white pepper to it. The wonton noodle soup was ok. Not the best I had but decent. You will need to add chili oil to make it taste better. Overall a great place to have for lunch and I come here time to time. * If you come 6 or more people, there is a gratuity of 15% added to the bill. read more

I loved the fresh rice noodle rolls. We tried the bbq pork one and it was so delicate, fresh and yummy.

How was this place EMPTY when we were here on a Sunday evening?!? I was hesitant at first, but after our meal, I was shocked that more people weren't here! We ordered: Beef Rice Noodle/Popcorn Chicken/Fish Jook (and ordered another to take home)/Beef Chow Fun/Beef Noodle Soup. What a meal, we thoroughly enjoyed it all. The rice noodles were so soft and cooked so well. Popcorn chicken was lightly battered and fresh! Loved the seasoning. The Fish Jook was the best jook (congee/porridge) I've ever had; the flavor had depth and it wasn't too watery, it had substance. The Beef Chow Fun was the least thrilling dish (and loved it was served on a paper plate). It was good, but nothing too special. The Beef Noodle Stew was a bit salty, but still enjoyed the flavors and how tender the beef was. Also, their chili sauce is SPICY...delicious! I wish we lived closer because I'd come here a lot more! I do wish they wouldn't have us eat from Styrofoam bowls/plates...at least paper! read more

What's up: I heard this was THE place to get Cheung Fun (rice noodle roll). It's supposed to be one of the best in the area and I thought dinner time was a great time to try it out. Parking: This place is part of a strip mall that's sandwiched between Las Tunas Dr and Live Oak Ave; it's near the CVS. Parking is shared amongst the nearby businesses. I didn't have any issues finding parking when I went. Environment: Masks are required to enter. The place was small with a handful of tables. Looks like lots of people place to go orders because there were quite a few of them on the table waiting to get picked up. They are open for indoor dining but we opted to take our order to go. There was one staff member manning the shop and she was friendly. Restrooms are towards the back of the restaurant on the left of the kitchen area. Oh, and don't forget all the Rilakkuma bears lying around. Cute! What was ordered: - Beef Rice Noodle Roll (soft and smooth) - Fish Fillet Rice Noodle Roll (soft, fish pieces are placed on top of the cheung fun) - Beef Fried Rice (it was ok) - House Special Rice Noodle (a bit too much sauce for my taste, making it a bit soggy) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay for the Cheung Fun, Meh for everything else. The Beef Rice Noodle was my fav and I liked how the meat is scattered throughout the rice noodle so you get it in every bite. Come for the Cheung Fun and maybe the Rilakkuma? Hahaha. Credit cards are accepted, but there is an additional 50¢ charge for credit card purchases under $15. read more
