There are also two large tv on the walls for entertainment. Parking was an ease as well, right next to the restaurant.

Was craving rice noodles so decided to give this place a try as it's been on my radar. I think it…read morewas okay, but not as amazing as I expected. Menu option is kind of limited. 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.

They have a new menu and we ordered the Minced Pork & Egg Rice. This is the non-gravy/sauce version like some local restaurants are starting to do. Break the runny egg yolk and mix everything together. It was pretty good. We also ordered the pan fried turnip cake which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's better than many dim sum restaurant versions. Also got their beef rice roll again. Their rice rolls are always a hit. Don't forget to order their HK lemon iced tea on the side. It pairs well with everything especially on a hot summer day. Good air conditioning. Lots of indoor seating. Great service. Highly recommend!

She cracks jokes with us and always gives us good recommendations! == AMBIANCE == It's a small place in an almost empty parking lot plaza. However, the inside feels like I'm in my grandma's house.

My go tos are the beef porridge and the wonton and beef noodle soup. The wontons are nice and big, and both dishes are the kind of comforting food I always find myself craving. Definitely one of my favorite comfort food spots in Alhambra. There's something special about going back to a place you grew up eating at and knowing the food is still just as good.

For the table I ordered: Fried wontons Wonton soup, no noodle Fried scallop congee Can of Sprite Beef stew noodle soups (to go) Fried scallop congee barely had any fried scallop in it. Wontons were huge! I noticed it was a full house during lunch. It was so hot inside. I was sweating nonstop. The AC is on 68 but I don't feel any air inside at all. If I come back I would order to go and eat at home.

From the outside, you can't tell the inside has really good space with booths plus tables and chairs, but it does. They weren't super busy at the time... about 5 tables occupied. I was greeted right away by the one server who was working the entire floor. Interior was clean and well lit. Atmosphere was comfortable. Menu has a variety of options... boiled dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, steamed mini buns, stir-fried noodles, regular noodles, rolls & pancakes, side dishes, rice, soup, and beverages. They also have frozen food to-go (just two items... dumplings and dezhou chicken). I got one Steamed Mini Buns (aka Xiao Long Bao), one Stir-Fried Noodles with pork, one Lamb Noodles Soup (with hand torn noodles), and one Jasmine Green Tea with honey. Yes, this seems like a lot of food for one person. I'm not a stranger to bringing food home for another meal. *Steamed Mini Buns - juicy with flavorful pork filling, adequate skin thickness, good size buns *Stir-Fried Noodles with pork - best dish out of the 3, good balance between pork, veggies, and noodles, mild spice level was perfect, portions were reasonable for the price *Lamb Noodles Soup - great amount of lamb and noodles, lamb was tender, noodles were a tad mushy on the edge... they need to be firmer, soup was savory *Jasmine Green Tea with honey - good size cup, tea was a bit bitter, probably needs more honey Food came out steaming hot and timely. Staff and service were wonderful. Yan, the server, was patient and helpful. He did an amazing job working the entire floor by himself. Thank you Yan! Highly recommend this place for their pan-dried and soup noodles. I would come back for more pan-fried noodles and try their pan-fried dumplings. Btw, cash, Zelle, or Venmo payment ONLY for bill total under $50. Bring cash if you don't plan to eat lots.

I have been coming here for years. I like the beef roll here. It doesn't disappoint…read more The beef and tendon noodle soup is sometimes a hit and miss. This time it was very good. I have had ones in previous visits that the beef was chewy, not tender. You have a choice of regular noodles or hand torn noodles. Hand torn noodles are more filling since the noodles are much thicker than the regular noodles. They are both good. It is a matter of preference. The minced pork with noodles (aka Jia Jiang mien) is also good. For this visit, I did not order dumplings. But their dumplings are usually good. The service is adequate but don't expect good service.

I most recently discovered one more noodle house located on Valley Blvd at Valley Square shopping center in Alhambra. YES, it is Sam's Noodle Station! I was super happy to find out that Sam's business hours are 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM daily. Sam's is now my favorite noodle house because they close later in the day compared to the other 3 noodle houses that closes earlier. Thank you Sam's! My Mom and I came here for a late Saturday lunch. Love the nice open clean place with lots of inside seating. Decor is very simple. Tables have chopsticks, spoons, and sauce dish plus various condiments. They will bring the green chili peppers and house-made satay sauce to the table. Love their spicy and tasty satay sauce! Menu had great noodle and rice choices. Prices were very reasonable. You can choose your preferred type of noodles. For certain dishes, you may choose how you want your noodles either soup inside the bowl or served "dry" with a tasty bowl of warm broth on the side. I have tried both versions and they are both very good. I went with my usual... Shrimp & Fish Fillet Egg Noodle Soup (dry-style). Huge portions of thick egg noodles with 4 fillet fishes (taste could have been better, slices could have been thicker), 4 big sweet shrimps, bean sprouts, green onions, and fried onions plus a small bowl of light and flavorful chicken broth. It was SO GOOD. I didn't have any leftovers. Btw, side of chives and bean sprouts are given upon request. My Mom tried the Hainan Chicken with Rice. Big chucks of chicken pieces, 3-4 tender Chinese broccoli stalk with leaves, and chicken flavored rice on a plate plus a small bowl of chicken broth. She enjoyed it very much. YUM! For take-out, I ordered 1 Filet Mignon with Egg Noodles for my youngest daughter. If she likes it, this may be our go-to for it. They also sell their amazing Sam's house-made satay chili sauce for $8.50. I couldn't resist and bought one jar. Super friendly lady staff who provided amazing and attentive service. She made sure we had all that we needed. She refilled my water without me asking. Thank you! Highly recommend Sam's! Looking forward to sharing this place with my family and friends. My Mom and I will be back for sure. P.S. CASH ONLY so bring your moola in bills.
