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

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!!!

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.

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

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!

But as for the food itself, the standouts would be the fried shrimp and the lobster. The shrimp is perfectly fried and I enjoy how soft the shell is. I like the lobster alot too. I personally prefer the way it's prepared at Henry's, but Newport's is still pretty decent. For the most part, the food is overloaded with MSG. Each time I've gone or taken food to go, I feel massively dehydrated after that I get a headache if I don't drink enough water. Luckily the staff was pretty on top of refilling our waters, and they often switched out our plates for clean ones. We've been going for years, and they used to allow substitutions for the set menu. But on a recent visit, this didn't seem like it was a thing anymore.

Our bowl came with sesame sauce, seasoned minced pork, pickled greens, julienned cucumber, and bean sprouts, all piled over the noodles so you mix it yourself.

It arrives as a full bone-in platter, sliced and dusted with spices, with lime slices and a green dipping sauce on the side. For that price it was a good deal. Overall, decent food at a fair price, and we were happy with the selection. Small bonus: the music was good.

The Peking duck is still a stand out. Depending on the amount of people we love adding the signature crispy grouper with the sweet and chill or the short ribs. I love the Chengdu Style Green Bean Jelly. It's spicy numbing with a bit of tartness. They recently revamped their menu adding a lot of new things and their drinks list has grown substantially. Their grilled on the bone beef rib is excellent and new jellyfish appetizer has a wonderful crunch. We haven't tried every menu item because we always get at least one duck which takes up space but we are always aiming to try one new thing each time.

Given that this place is definitely on the higher end in terms of price, I was expecting the dishes to be a little more unique and exquisite. Peking Duck - 6/10 Pretty standard. The duck skin was crispy and fatty, which was good, but the actual meat was a little dry. The wrapper was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Crispy Walnut Shrimp - 8/10 By far the best dish of the meal. The shrimp was lightly battered but incredibly crispy, and the walnuts were excellent and complemented the shrimp really well. The sweet melon was questionable, though. I couldn't quite understand the appeal of adding fruit to this dish. Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - 7/10 The filling was definitely up there in terms of flavor and quality, but the wrapper was far too thick for my liking. A thinner wrapper would have made a big difference. Seared Honey Glazed Cod - 5/10 Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The fish was very fishy, the sear wasn't particularly impressive, and the sauce didn't pair well with the cod. There were also chestnuts and what I believe were shallots, neither of which I really cared for. Overall, it's a beautiful establishment with great service and very impressive presentation. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't quite match the appearance or the price point for me. The Crispy Walnut Shrimp was the standout, but the other dishes were more average than I expected.

We flagged a server down and they got us a ticket for a number to wait. There's a bit of a wait, but also a steady flow of guests coming in and out. Once you're seated you'll experience a huge menu with a huge variety of food to choose from. We were excited about a lot of the options, but had a tough time narrowing it down. We ended up picking Yangzhou fried rice, Eggplant casserole with salted fish and minced chicken, and a meat combo of Bbq pork and steamed chicken. The food came out steaming hot, and the portions were incredibly generous. All the dishes were really flavourful and well cooked, reminded me of food I grew up eating in Hong Kong. My boyfriend who normally hates eggplant actually ate and enjoyed the eggplant casserole! If you are looking for some hearty, delicious, great value Cantonese food, this is the spot for you. Just know that it's a no frills kind of restaurant. I'm definitely coming back to try their other dishes!

There are a few Canto cafés around here, but this one is definitely one of our favorites. Dim sum is pretty easy to find, but authentic Cantonese cafés are much more of a rare find. The lower reviews are probably due to the service, but in my opinion, a truly authentic Cantonese restaurant should have questionable service because that's exactly what you get at the good places in Hong Kong. The philosophy in Hong Kong is basically "food over service." If they're being too nice, they're probably overcompensating for something haha. Getting either the hot or iced milk tea or lemon tea is a MUST. It's the traditional way to do it, and they even offer unlimited refills! Just be warned that you might not sleep that night because Hong Kong-style tea is no joke when it comes to caffeine. Pro tip: If you get the lemon tea, you have to crush the lemons into the tea to get the right flavor! My friends and I are regulars here. They're open late, and the ambiance is so fun, with tables decorated with mahjong tiles and neon lights that basically scream Asia. The food is top tier and, in my opinion, some of the best Cantonese food you'll find in the U.S. Our go-to orders are the tomato baked rice dishes, stir-fried vegetables, 3-cup dishes, and brisket curries. For something sweet, we always share the classic Cantonese French toast with peanut butter inside or one of the pineapple buns. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for an authentic Canto café experience! :)

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!

Since there are other better Chinese places out in LA, I probably won't be back.
