    Bombay style Indian!
    Massoum S.

    Visited little India in Artesia. This restaurant was highly recommend see by a lady at the grocery store next door whom regularly drives here from San Diego to eat here. Pak was our waiter very friendly. Great menu Very clean! The food was amazing. I had their goat and garlic nan. Others had chicken curry, fish tandoori. Chicken masala. All delicious!! If you are in the area, be sure and try it!

    Quick review: most things were pretty good. Vegetarian review: - paneer tikka masala: standard and good. - saag paneer: full of paneer - biryani: not as flavorful as I would have liked, but still not bad

    Looking for a weekend buffet where you can try a bit of everything at a great price -- or just a fun family spot everyone will love? Nanking Indian Buffet hits the spot for just $20! A great variety -- curry chicken, fried rice, grilled drumsticks, and desserts like mango mousse and fresh fruit. We also tried their mango lassi -- super fresh and delicious! And the best part? The live band and performances! They sang happy birthday to a guest and had a beautiful dancer who engaged my little one -- she absolutely loved it! Such a special family memory. Ig: socalhkfoodies

    Mango lassi
    Kanak G.

    This thing looks like it understood the assignment and then arrived in full Shah Rukh Khan 90s charisma: dramatic, sweet, impossible to ignore, and somehow both over-the-top and perfect at the same time. The mango is rich and velvety, the color alone promising grandeur before the first sip even lands, and that swirl on top feels like the beverage equivalent of a cinematic entrance. It is not merely a mango lassi; it is a full performance. Like Baadshah, it has flair. It has confidence. It has that slightly extra quality that stops being "too much" and becomes exactly right. Creamy, bright, and indulgent, it hits with the same kind of joyful energy that made those 90s SRK moments so iconic. One sip in, and suddenly life has background music. This mango lassi does not ask for attention. It commands it. Five stars, a standing ovation, and possibly its own title card.

    Chicken 65

    My third time here and the place is great. Tucked away in a small plaza with plenty of parking is this gem of a restaurant. Chicken 65 is flavorful. Their paneer tikka masala is perfection. The biryani is everything I could ever ask for. I got the chicken one and it's great. Come here for their buffet! They got a nice selection and if they have something not on their buffet menu--you can order from the menu as well. Their mango lassi is so good. Arguably the best one I've ever had at all of the Indian restaurants I've been to. I dream about this from time to time. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating. There's a TV showcasing music videos. Right now it's FIFA season, there's a soccer game playing. It's clean here. Service here is great. They're very polite and very attentive to your table. If you are looking for an Indian restaurant to go to--COME HERE!

    Paneer
    Jason S.

    We had dinner here the other night. There is plenty of available parking. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting. The service was very friendly. We started with a mango lassi to drink. It is a delicious yogurt smoothie and you will need it to help with some of the spices later on. We got a garlic naan and some paneer. The naan was huge and the paneer was warm and delicious. The two pair so well together. We got the Kung Pao Cashew Chicken. Spicy and delicious with lot of chicken and vegetables. We also got some steamed rice to go with this. The hakka noodles were next. These are lo mein noodles prepared Bombay style. A large portion and warm and comforting lo main. Last we got the chicken Szechuan momo. This is a Nepali dish. Momo is the word for dumplings. After this I only want my dumplings prepared Szechuan style. The delicious spices made me keep going back for more. A great place for Indo-Chinese food. It changed the way I look at Chinese food and the different ways to combine it with other cuisines.

    This place is in a great corner spot. Plenty of parking when my friend and I got there! We got there right at opening, and everyone was very welcoming when we went in. As soon as we were seated they gave us waters, and they were able to give us great recommendations! It's a decently sized restaurant inside, they had light and dark contrasting colors, which is nice to see. Just a few things we ordered: Royal Lassi - this Mango yogurt drink is very smooth, and refreshing. I wouldn't mind having this as a dessert drink. Basamati Rice - I love rice, this was cooked perfectly, the best complement to the main meal. Kung Pao Cashew Chicken (dry) - this has to be my favorite version of Kung Pao chicken. The spices and seasonings were great. The chicken was tender. The veggies were amazing (water chestnuts are my favorite ) Chicken Szechuan Momos - oh my goodness, I can't with this dish, it's just too good. The chicken filling in the dish, just everything about it was amazing! Everything here, amazing, if you love Indian and Chinese food, please try this place out, you won't be disappointed!

    Throwback to when dine-in Chinese food was king!…read more There's something special about walking into a place that reminds you of childhood, and this spot absolutely delivers. The service is consistently exceptional, but what keeps bringing me back are the generous family portions, quality food, and incredible value. For a date night, we ordered: Family Orange Chicken Family Beef & Broccoli Fried Rice Steamed Rice 1 Egg Roll 2 Fried Shrimp Hot Tea 2 Sprites Total: $33. With the cost of everything going up these days, finding a place where you can enjoy a great meal, leave satisfied, and not feel like you just emptied your wallet is becoming increasingly rare. And the portions? Huge. We actually had enough left over for lunch the next day, which makes that $33 feel like an even better deal. For me, this is what good neighborhood Chinese food should be: great service, generous portions, quality food, reasonable prices, and that nostalgic feeling that takes you right back to being a kid. Absolutely love this place. We'll definitely be back!

    I was craving Chinese food that wasn't fast food style and finally decided to try Golden Phoenix…read moreafter driving by this plaza plenty of times before. I ordered online for pickup, which was easy enough. There was a small service fee, but nothing crazy. The Mongolian Beef lunch special is available every day from 11-3 and the value is kind of nuts. The portion was massive, easily enough to feed two people. The container was basically 3/4 beef stir-fry and 1/4 rice, plus soup. The beef was tender, seasoned well and had some wok hei. With that said, I had a misc carry out order, but the Mongolian beef didn't fully survive the drive. I was starving, so I became a parking lot goblin for a few bites. I also tried the orange chicken because I originally wanted the phoenix chicken after seeing it mentioned a lot in reviews, but they didn't have it. The orange chicken was... orange chicken heh. Fried well, seasoned well and tender. It leaned more sweet and salty than aggressively citrusy. The salt and pepper pork chops were great. Fried to perfection, lots of flavor, seasoned well and tender enough. Just a heads-up, there are bones. I got it medium spicy, but there really wasn't much heat at all, so maybe go above medium if you want actual heat? One of favorite dishes, done well. The green bean chicken was good. Green beans a bit overcooked and the chicken was tender. Wok hei most present in this dish. Simple. Service was no-frills but polite, which was totally fine for pickup. Oh, the entrees also comes with plain rice, but I've never been too fond of rice at Chinese food restaurants and this one didn't change my mind. The place itself is small and tucked away in a busy plaza, with a few booths and dining tables. There were a couple families dining in when I went, so it has that quiet local spot feel. Overall, Golden Phoenix satiated my cravings. Generous portions and quality that's above average. Nothing fancy. Food survived the car drive back, fried stuff held it's structure. I'd come back again.

She did not let me down as we walked in and noticed how truly authentic it was going to look. Chinese decor on the walls and boxes of restaurant supples in the corners. Just as it should be. The bonus was that they had a TV showing the NBA Finals when we arrived. Pretty nice touch and in the back of the restaurant so as not to distract everyone. We went with a couple of our favorite dishes to run along and the Chicken Lo Mein was pretty good. Crispy pieces of chicken and soft noodles and veggies to go with it. We chose to get Mongolian Beef and it was absolutely fantastic. Crispy celery, green onions and decent sized pieces of meat in a terrific sauce. I would love to try to replicate that. My wife wanted a shrimp dish so she ordered the honey walnut and it even looked good to me when they brought it. She loves egg rolls, so she got a four piece and said they were pretty good. My biggest wow of the visit was their vegetable fried rice. MY GOD. I dont know what they season or flavor it with, but every fork full of rice that i ate, it was this sense of flavor that reminded me of butter or something else. I really loved the sensation i experienced from this particular dish. I am really curious on what it actually is. I will definitely be ordering out or coming in for Chinese because that reminded of many other places that put out fantastic dishes.

    This place was pretty good! It's a great spot to grab a quick Chinese dinner with the family…read more The food was flavorful, and the portions were a good size, especially if you're coming with a bigger group. We had plenty to share, which is always a plus. The restaurant has a nice family-style vibe, but it's a lot smaller inside than it looks from the outside. If it's busy, it can feel pretty cramped, and you'll probably have to squeeze between tables and chairs to get around. If it's not crowded though, it's much easier to move around. The service was fast, which I appreciated. The only downside was the food runner who brought out our meals. He wasn't very friendly and kind of just set the plates down wherever there was space, even on top of the plates we were already using. It felt a little careless and took away from an otherwise good experience. Overall, the food was definitely the highlight, but because of that experience with the service, it'll probably be a while before I come back.

    What I Ordered: Juicy Pork Dumplings ($11.99)…read morePan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp dumplings ($12.99) Wonton in Spicy Sauce ($11.50) Chicken Fried Rice ($12.99) Dry fried string bean ($13.50) Orange Chicken ($14.99) Kung Pao Shrimp ($18.99) Dan dan noodle ($13.99) Beef roll pancake ($12.99) Spring rolls ($3.50) Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba Food: The Pan Fried Chinese Chives Pork Shrimp Dumplings. I absolutely loved the crispy bottom layer because it added such a satisfying crunch to every bite. The inside stayed really juicy and flavorful with a good balance of pork, shrimp, and chives. The Juicy Pork Dumplings had soup inside, which was rich and savory. I've had soup dumplings before where the wrapper breaks apart too easily, but these held together nicely while still staying soft and delicate. The Wonton in Spicy Sauce was my personal favorite from the entire meal. The spicy sauce flavor was savory with a little sweetness. I'm typically not good with spice, so this is at a spice level that should be very manageable for everyone. I absolutely loved the spicy sauce, so I started putting it on everything. Definitely put the sauce on the chicken fried rice! The Chicken Fried Rice was a great dish to pair with everything else that we ordered. With several orders of entrees, a solid rice dish is a must order for any Chinese meal. The rice had a nice savory flavor that I enjoyed, and there was a generous amount of chicken mixed throughout the dish. I even asked the waitress if they do anything special with the fried rice because it tasted better than many other restaurants. It felt comforting and balanced compared to some of the heavier dishes. The Dry Fried String Beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crispness while still being tender. The garlic and seasoning gave them so much flavor that it honestly didn't even feel like I was eating vegetables. I do have to note that these were very much on the salty side, so if you don't like foods that are too salty, I would choose a different dish. The Orange Chicken was really crispy and juicy, which I appreciated because soggy orange chicken is always disappointing to me. The sauce had a nice citrus flavor while still keeping that classic sweet savory taste. The Spring Rolls were simple with vegetable filling on the inside with a crispy outside. I would try a different appetizer next time. The Kung Pao Shrimp was packed with flavor and had a really satisfying combination of textures. The shrimp were tender, and the peanuts added a great crunch to the dish. I thought the sauce had a really nice balance of spice and savoriness without becoming overwhelming. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Beef Roll Pancake. The pancake itself was nice and chewy throughout each bite. The sliced beef with green onions and sauce all wrapped together made every bite really flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba. I really liked that the jasmine tea flavor was noticeable instead of being overly sweet like some milk teas can be. The boba had a soft chewy texture, and the drink itself paired perfectly with the spicy and savory dishes from the meal. Staff: All of the staff members were quick and friendly Ambiance: Indoor seating only. A good amount of parking in the parking lot that is shared with other shops in the plaza.

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the overall experience was better than I anticipated. The seasoning was a little strong, and some dishes had a fairly familiar, standardized taste. Nothing was bad, and everything was prepared well, but I do feel a little disappointed when the authentic flavors of traditional Chinese food become less noticeable. There were four of us, and we ordered about eight or nine of their most popular dishes. My parents really enjoyed the food. I have worked in China before, so I may be a little more sensitive and particular when it comes to Chinese food. Overall, the restaurant has good reviews, the prices are reasonable, and it was a pretty good dining experience.

    Sam Woo Cafe: satisfying, flavorful, and worth the wait if you time it right. Love at first visit!…read more Sam Woo Cafe in Artesia is order-from-the-picture-menu dim sum, not cart service. You fill out a short form at the podium (party size, name, phone) and join an electronic queue. Texts update your status, but stay close; tables free up in clusters after a long wait. Go early for lunch or expect a crowd. The dining room is bright and comfortable but gets noisy once full. I ordered: - Pork & Shrimp Shiu Mai (two orders of 5) - Scallop with Shrimp Dumplings (3) - Shrimp with Chives Dumplings (3) - Steamed BBQ Pork Buns (3) - Baked Egg Custard tarts (3) - Young Chow Fried Rice with added Lap Cheong (cured pork, +$2) Everything was good. Standouts were the scallop-shrimp dumplings and the pork & shrimp shiu mai. The Young Chow Fried Rice with the extra Lap Cheong was excellent. The baked egg custard tarts were textbook and remain a personal favorite since childhood. A neighboring older Chinese woman offered me a sample of the Pork Hame Sui Gok; it was outstanding and I will order it next time. I shared some of my extras with her in return. Service was attentive, Ricky was quick with food and drinks. The same woman had already told me "he's the best." I deliberately ordered extra for leftovers (dinner that night and breakfast before an early flight home to the Carson Valley). Will definitely return and have added it to my Long Beach Yelp collection.

    Strip mall dim sum…read more I guess don't judge this place into you step in and try it. When I walked in and saw the outside I was wondering why my friends choose this place, it looked from the outside like a small shop, but when I walked in it was way bigger and authentic. Jokes on me. Ordered a bunch of dim sum dishes, everything came out quickly. They even have dessert samples in the front. In San Francisco they would never have dessert samples at a dim sum place so that was a plus for our group. Tea is around $5 a pot. Potstickers were a hit and so was the beef chow fun. Those were 5/5 The beef jook is a skip, kind of tasted runny like powder and no real flavor with weird small bits of beef that looked like bacon bits. 2/10 Other than that the dim sum was solid amd came out hot and fresh. Same with the Chinese broccoli. Skip the lemon iced tea. Tasted like it was from a packet and it was horrible. 0/10 Would definitely come back for their dim sum though.
