My go to items that I order are the large teas. The passion fruit or mango teas are gigantic. They do make it sweet though so I end up ordering a couple of cup of ice water and add the tea into it. Then we always get a non spicy popcorn chicken and I'll get a side of the chili powder so I can share this with the kids. We love the pan fried dumplings and XIAO long bay too. It's best to come during the week or else there's always a wait during the weekend. I feel like during the week the wait staff has some time to focus on their customers and to refill drinks and get napkins etc.....

First time visiting here and the restaurant reminds me of pp pop but better (both food and…read moreservice)! We were lucky and got seated immediately as there was no wait. Pan fried dumpling (sheng jian bao) - Surprisingly good! tasty, juicy inside with lots of broth. Popcorn chicken - decent as well, generous portions with good meaty chunks Wonton in red chilli oil - It was decent but I wish it had a little bit of vinegar to add some tang. Soup dumpling/ Xiao long bao - This was okay, skin was a little thick but generous fillings with lots of soup House noodle soup - Broth was very tasty and it was a comforting soup dish, but nothing to rave about. Devil spicy beef noodle - Was expecting this to be super spicy, but honestly the spice level is just medium and it was more mala (numbing spice) than just regular spice. Overall meal portions are reasonably generous. Will return again.

Think made-to-order elevated food court Chinese-ISH-style dishes. SERVICE: when we first walked in, the guy bussing tables onto his cart made eye contact, then COMPLETELY IGNORED US despite it being obvious that we were there for dinner. off-putting, i ALMOST WALKED OUT :/ Once we chased someone down and got seated, our waiter was super FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. Food came out quickly and piping hot. FOOD: PORTIONS-what stands out is the HUGE PORTIONS, one plate could probably feed to and perhaps three moderate eaters. QUALITY-unusually and OVERWHELMINGLY OILY. Way more than I would've expected, and detracted from the eating experience. **Cheese WonTon-wrappers were FRIED CRISP AND TENDER, but the decent dollop of cream cheese filling was overwhelming. **KUNG POW CHICKEN was the BEST DISH we had, barely spicy but it hid the oiliness better somehow. **NOODLE (?chow fun) SHRIMP was difficult to eat, and the EXCESSIVE GREASE COATED MY TONGUE so bad the i couldn't taste the shrimp or veggies. **BLACK BEAN BEEF was fair. OILY BUT FLAVORFUL. veggies were nicely cooked still crunchy, but the HARSH ONIONS were overpowering. sweet or milder onions would let me taste the other ingredients more. the beef itself was tender and tasty. I personally won't be returning, but I see the value due to large portions and moderate prices. i'd gladly sacrifice quantity for higher quality.

Since there are multiple locations, we debated between the South Gate and Whittier spots because they're both about the same distance from us in Montebello. For our first visit, I'm really glad we chose this location. The shopping center is huge, so finding parking was easy, even though the area was busy. When we walked in, the restaurant was pretty crowded. All of the booths were occupied, and only a few tables were available, so we waited about five minutes while a staff member cleaned a booth for us. Once seated, we looked over the menu and ordered the egg rolls and garlic truffle fries to start. For our entrées, we chose the ribeye pho and chicken pho. The server was kind enough to offer me a sample of the salted coffee. I had already had coffee earlier in the day, so I didn't order one, but I'm glad I tried it because I'll definitely be getting one next time. Instead, I ordered the cucumber limonade. Overall, we had a great experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout our meal. The food was delicious, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're looking for a good late-night pho spot.

The price is pretty reasonable for the amount of food you get. - Egg Roll (2 pcs only) for $5.99 - Freshly fried (let it cool for a bit), comes with lettuce, radish, and fish sauce. It's very flavorful. - Pho rare steak (P12) $13.99- Love it that my broth is hot, very flavorful, lots of noodle, meat was so-so.

How you gonna eat pasta without a fork or spoon? Took away stars for that and the vibe inside the restaurant. Notice in my photo I had to go home where I could use my own fork. Bad if you want to eat there because it was so loud I was grateful I was eating alone and wasn't trying to have a conversation with anyone. They seriously need to put something on the walls and ceiling to lower all the echo and reverb. Impossible noise, absolutely not the sound level you want when you're trying to eat inside a restaurant. No wonder the dining room was empty that time I ate it there. But the food is good

This is what I ordered: Chengdu Jajiang Mian ($13): the portion size for this good for the pricepoint. Since it was a to-go order, the chili oil came on the side. I liked that I could decide how much to add to the noodles. Noodle texture wasn't too chewy nor did it snap apart easily. 4/5 stars Steamed Egg w/ Minced Pork ($5): this was a delicious steamed egg. Would recommend. 4/5 stars Popcorn Chicken ($8): It tasted good, but I don't think I got a fresh batch. I think it was sitting under a heat lamp for a bit. Also, it was pricey for the amount they give. 3.5/stars. There is free parking on site and the servers were nice and, it seems, the kitchen staff are quite quick with orders.
