Beef Tendon Skewer
Sandy C.

This is one of those no frills Chinese Skewers place. Bring cash if you are coming, they give you free 1lb crawfish if your party spends more 88 dollars and paying with cash. All the skewers were delicious, especially the pork and the lamb. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to the just right amount. We ordered many other things including octopus, chicken cartilage, and gizzards. Everything tasted good. They also have other entree and sides, including rice noodle soup, grilled cold noodles, and enoki mushroom in tinfoil. Those are great as well but the seasoning is more sweet and sour rather than spicy. The place is rather small so I think that's why there is only one waitress. She is kind but always busy. However, the major ordering is done through the QR code scanned webpage so the ordering shouldn't be an issue. Parking is quite difficult during the rush hour since the parking lot is small too. Overall it's a restaurant that's best for small group of friends gathering on a weekday.

They been here for years. Great flavor. A hidden gem for skewers in San Gabriel. Would definitely come back again and bring family and friends.

Grilled cold noodles
Amy Z.

Food was so good we were blown away. We ordered a combo for 3 people and it was a perfect amount. We really liked the pork skewers and the honey bread (all the skewers were amazing) the grilled cold noodles were alright. the wall art was super fun Would definitely come again!!!

Very good food and Very good service . Love this family style kitchen. It's my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles on this trip .

Grilled cold noodles 9.99

CASH! Like a Chinese version of Old Country Cafe. Simple fast late night comfort food open until 1am. Nothing spectacular but decent for late night non-bar food. Surprisingly, not bad compared to scary reviews. Accidentally came here because Lu's Garden was closed. Maybe we came at a good time? We visited on a weekday midnight. There was another couple dining in with 2 parties, 1 picked up and the order waited after ordering there. Everything was decent, and better than expected (vs scary reviews). Portions were small. Can't complain for food at midnight. Nothing much is opened in 626 after covid. And prices everywhere really have increased. Service? No one around so it was good for us? We didn't need anything extra, water or restroom. - $6.99 5 Skewers of lamb. Flavorful. Like how they grilled it to be just lightly crispy for some edges with decent texture and juicy/not try. Too many times, other places grill until too dry. - Staple foods like $9.99 grilled cold noodles (4 pieces) and $6.99 beef roll (2 piece) were good. The beef roll didn't look good but actually might be better than alot of out places. It was my 1st time trying grilled cold noodles which is a comfort food. It was an egg pancake with ham and onions. Onions were barely cooked. Loved the numbing sauce in it. It wasn't spicy. - $11.99 House fried rice was simple. Not too large in size. We'd probably order all 4 dishes again. They went well with each other.

Absolutely delicious. Take note of the skewer can!

Despite the other reviews... I'm ranking this as my number one spot for skewers. The staff was very friendly. Ambiance is homely. I haven't been to China yet, but it reminds me of various little diners in Vietnam, and to me, that was more comforting than any fancy or dimly lit diners that are a major thing here in the US. The food was great. We ordered a ton of lamb and intestine. Despite it being a a near 4 hour round trip to get there and back. I find it to be insanely worth it. It's also located less than a mile from the Tesla Superchargers, which is a huge bonus for a quick pitstop for Boba in that parking lot and using the restroom before heading back. If I lived closer, I'd be here once a week. No joke.

Food is pretty good, and it had a deal during the time when I visited. The service is okay. Had ordered a combo and 2 people ended up being full full

Beef and Lamb Skewers
Ivy C.

Ordered about 50 skewers, half Beef and half Lamb. These were honestly really good, a bit juicy and not drying. But the amount they give you per skewer, literally only half the skewer was filled... On top of that the pieces were so small. I would get if they fill the skewer half way if the pieces were larger but they're so itty bitty which made us feel like we were cheaper out for what we paid. Also got their beef rolls and this was literally so small... Portion was probably for one person, when one order of beef rolls at other place could feed about 3-4 people.

One of my fav things to eat are hot and steamy soup dumplings. Their soup dumplings were some of the juiciest and soupiest I've ever had . Qin's is a famous chain originating from Wuxi, China and this is their first North American location!

Assortment of skewers
Agnes H.

I was not impressed. Over-priced in my opinion. The skewers were dry and dead salty, not much flavoring other than salt. Do not recommend. Service was quick and fast. We ordered takeout and the lady was really nice and everything was packed nicely. I just didn't like the food.

Brandon L.

Ordered delivery from here since we were craving some good skewers and after looking at some photos and their menu I was highly interested in trying Qin's. We ordered the beef, bacon wrapped mushroom, pork, potato slices, and flour ball skewers. The seasoning is very delicious on these skewer choices. I really liked the beef it was cooked perfectly and the pork and bacon wrapped mushroom skewers were also very delicious I highly recommend trying these. Every meat was juicy and had a nice crispiness on the outside. The potato slices were cooked until soft and also had the right amount of seasoning on them. The prices aren't too bad either and is enough to leave you feeling satisfied. I'll definitely be ordering more from this place in the future.

Unbelievable so bad tasting! BBQ salty!!! shrimp no fresh, cucumber no sauce! The pastry sick!the noodles is shit! No food can be eat, waste my money and time!

Spicy Pork Rice Noodle
Kate G.

On my way home from work I decided to stop for some Chinese food. I originally pulled in to try the Chinese restaurant but they serve their food cafeteria style, which is not my thing, so I walked the plaza and entered the door under the 'Lucky Noodle' sign. Wow was I surprised! We have ordered the duck tongue(fabulous!), pork stomach, lamb testicles, and spicy pork rice noodle soup. Initially I lost all ability to breathe when I accidentally vaporized the spicy broth and inhaled. Once I recovered, I tried everything and it was GREAT! I am planning to come back as soon as possible! I look forward to coming back here often!

The cook and staff are from Tan Cang, but not my business to share. Some dishes that are fantastic and worth trying! Bo Luc Lac - so good if you dip with their salt pepper lime. I have not had better shaken beef Vegetable Deluxe - it comes with ching gong choi, gan lan, shitake mushroom, straw mushroom, carrots, bamboo. Any vegetable dish they make is good garlic stir fried Steamed Tilapia - This is my favorite. Just something about their soy sauce with fish over rice. I loved it so much that I recreated this dish at home. We ate this dish going up my mom would steam this often but she actually prefers the way I make it! I want to say their soy sauce is amazing but the fish is not always perfectly steamed. The last fish we had were a little tough. But that's not their standard. Usually very good! Clams with Basil - underrated dish, same with the fish this sauce is so tasty over rice! My mom can also make this dish at home but obviously minus the msg Lobster with yee meen - they are known for their lobster and if you love nooodles sauce coated you might want to add yee meen. My family LOVES this dish. No one makes it like they do. Kung Pao Chicken/Cashew Chicken - both amazingly made if you like a little more sweet and texture crunch I'd say KPC and if you want a lighter flavor go for CC

However everything was just ok. The lobster flavor was good but the meat felt overcooked. The crab had little flavor except on the shell itself and that was very salty. The crab meat also felt overcooked. We basically kept comparing this place to other similar Chinese seafood restaurants and unfortunately this one was rated the lowest in our opinion. My BILs both loved the fried rice though. Personally I found it very mid. Overall the food was just ok - tasty but nothing crazy amazing. Since there are other better Chinese places out in LA, I probably won't be back.

I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter. Highly recommend for party platters for fresh sashimi.

They are located in the same plaza as CVS, Tam's Noodle House and Dim Sum Box. There was sufficient amount of private parking for the plaza. When we first arrived, there was a lot of seats open.

I recommend coming early because they did get busy and by the time we left every table was filled. The energy here is definitely upbeat and a great place to hang and catch up with friends. We had an incredible feast and would come back to reorder all of the dishes we tried this visit and more: Goi Xoai Muc ($15.99) - Mango salad with squid. Very light and refreshing. This is an unripe mango thinly cut and mixed in with traditional Vietnamese herbs. It also comes with some shrimp chips to funnel up this delicious salad. Oc Mong Tay Mo Hanh ($18.99) - Razor clams grilled with scallion oil. One of the least flavorful items by compare. Both my friend and I felt like the scallion oil was very light on these razor clams but enjoyed it with the sauces from other dishes. Oc Mo Bo Toi ($24.99) - Fat snails prepared garlic butter style. Delicious. These bigger snails makes them easier to pick them out with the skewers they serve this with. Ngheu Xao Bo Toi ($16.99) - Clams prepared garlic butter style. Yum. Juicier compared to the snails and absorbs the sauce well. The clam shell makes it easy to scoop up the sauce and drink it. Oc Len Xao Dua ($16.99) - Sea snails in a coconut milk sauce. One of my favorites but I know it's one of the more difficult ones to eat, cause you'll have to suck on it really hard to get the snail out. But the sauce is delicious and unique. So Diep Trung Cut ($15.99) - Scallops with quail eggs. Highly recommended by staff, They mentioned this was a popular dish. Very decadent. It was a smidge too much food for 2 people but when I asked my friend if she would remove anything, she mentioned it was all a good variety for the meal.

Of all the Vietnamese sour soups we've had, this place was the best. It is like a savory version of a lemonade, where the sourness and sweetness is extremely intense, but perfectly balanced. I've tasted all sort items from this restaurant, from quail, to frogs, to snails, to cat fish, and everything has been executed to maximize the taste of the ingredient and sauce. Fish dishes would first be soft, flakely, moist, buttery, and then after the textures, you get hit with the intensities of the sauces. In French cuisine, sauce is king, and Vietnamese food is often times a blend of native and French techniques. This place's food quality punches well beyond it's patronage.
