Beef w/ red rice (I think Americans like to call it shaken beef?)
Joann V.

3.5 stars I think this might be my second time eating here. The first time I tried this restaurant was maybe back in 2021, when we had a family friend in town. I don't remember what we ordered that time, but I do remember that nothing has changed. It is still a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant. My mom thinks it's a Chiu Chow restaurant, but there's Vietnamese translation, so it could mixed. We're not sure. This time, these are what my mom and I ordered: Shaken Beef w/ Red Rice ($18.95): if you like your steak at medium rare, this place does a decent shaken beef. Personally, I took most of the beef home to cook again b/c I do prefer it medium-well/well-done. Otherwise, the beef was tasty and the red rice was satisfying. Portion was huge. 4/5 stars House Chow Fun ($16.95): Mom ordered the wet version. It came with beef, chicken, shrimp, canned mushrooms, bean sprouts, and some greens. It is tasty fresh, but it does get soggy if you got leftovers to take home. 3.5/5 stars Free parking on site, but parking is small and limited. If you're normally a solo diner, there is a good chance you'll be sharing a table with other solo diners during lunch/dinner rushes. I thought it was good and would definitely come back. I would recommend to anyone who isn't squeamish about hole-in-the-wall mom-n-pops.

CASH ONLY Decided to give this spot a try and was pleasantly surprised. It's a small, cozy restaurant with attentive and friendly service. I ordered their promotional dine-in-only noodle dish with thick yellow noodles, and it did not disappoint. The dish was flavorful and generously portioned, loaded with tender pork, ground meat, boiled shrimp, and crispy fried shrimp for a great mix of textures. It also came with a side of soup! Overall, a solid experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

Just another hidden gem that's been there for 50 years.. most importantly it tasted exactly the same after all these years..everything's as fresh as it gets. Places I hope they will be in business forever

Tried this place twice in two weeks! LOL Both times, good experience. Good food, great flavors, and filling. It reminds me of Kim Kee Noodle House. I like this place cause it's more open space. The Kim Kee in MPK is pretty small. Please note, this place also only accepts cash. Remember to bring cash if you wanna stop by!

We came here for lunch on a weekday to get our Teochew/Chiu Chow noodles fix. We haven't been here since the pandemic. The restaurant used to be Kim Lee before they rebranded. The interior is small and looks old but decently clean. This is a casual noodle eatery spot for the locals. Reasonable price with generous portions. Staffs were warm, friendly, and efficient. The waitress gave us extra soup to go with our leftovers. We usually get the house special rice noodle soup. The soup broth is light and flavorful. It comes with a lot of toppings; shrimps, fish cakes, fish balls, chicken, kidney, and ground pork. There's different types of noodles that you can choose from. The green hot pepper on the table is very fresh and the satay sauce is delicious, they paired well with the noodles. This is a "CASH ONLY" restaurant!

bo luc lac
Maddie D.

if you are in the 626 area I definely reccomend stopping by here! I feel like this restraunt is such an underrated gem. my family comes here every weekend to get the bo luc lac (lol we get 3 orders each time) and every time we come it always hits. the portions are HUGE, comes with a soup, tomato rice, and beef cubes. The beef cubes are so tasty and so soft and tender, they quite literally melt in your mouth. omg and the rice is actually so yum. I actually am not the biggest fan of rice, but this rice I can eat like everyday and will not get sick of it. the rice is just so tasty and goes so well with the beef. definely reccomend mixing in some satay and eating jt with the beef and rice.

Soup noodle and rice dish restaurant offering a range of cuisine styles from Chiu Chow, Vietnamese to Cantonese. Service is attentive and fast. One of the specialities here is their kidney dish, but I found it needed a bit more flavor in preparation. Noodles bowl sizes are generous.

The restaurant was desolate on a Sunday evening, which has been the scene for the past few months. Not that many customers are eating here. I ordered a beef and shrimp soup with vermicelli and egg noodles, it came out fast and tasted decent. However, I did not expect to have to pay $16 for it because on the poster on the wall, the exact thing I ordered was $11. I am confused why there is inaccurate pricing. And they took cash only without telling me beforehand.

Diced Filet Mignon with Black Pepper Sauce and Tomato Rice.
Cindy S.

The "House Special Noodles" and "Filet Mignon Cubes" are popular items on the menu and recommended. House Special Noodles with soup included on the side were pretty bland by itself for my taste. I added their housemade XO sauce or shacha sauce from the condiment caddy on the table and it was so much better. Their Pan Fried Chives Cake was delicious! Sam's Noodle Station specializes in Chinese regional Chiu-Chow/Teo Chew noodles. Specifically Chiu-Chow- Vietnamese. Noodles and Appetizers are what I like here, but there are other dishes you can try to see what suits your palate. This place has a second location called: Macky Noodles in Monrovia, Ca. CASH ONLY!

A super great option to Kim Ky or Kim Tar. Wonderful hole in the wall that serves Chiu Chow Noodles. The wait goes by uber fast; I promise. Patrons eat and leave. They know the drill. Most patrons (probably 85-90%) that was there were regulars. You can tell because they don't need to read the menu and/or Boss Lady remembers their order. Boss Lady has impressive memory and super efficient. The noodles come out quick and hot. The only thing I would do differently on my next visit would be to skip the 'dry' noodle option. Will return for sure!

Our first time trying Sam's Noodle Station. My mom and I went there on the weekend, and it's located inside a strip mall on Valley in Alhambra. Parking can be difficult coz they have many businesses in the plaza. We both ordered their #1 House Special Rice Noodles, and I picked the mixed noodle with round yellow noodles and rice vermicelli. It had 3 shrimps, some fish balls, chicken meat, pork kidney, etc. It's similar to Kim Ky, but the food quality was not as good as Kim Ky's, and their soup broth was not as flavorful. The shrimps were fresh, though. It was lacking flavor overall.

Plenty of meat and is lite and refreshing
Sven T.

I was in Gardena this afternoon and at first I wanted ribeye steak, then Vietnamese pho and then the pork kidney noodles that I haven't had for awhile so i yelp it in Alhambra because I needed to buy some things close by. From ribeye steak to pork kidney noodles, haha that's funny. Anyway, there were a couple of places that had them but they closed early and this is the only place that is open till 7 pm, when I first walked in, there was nobody inside besides the lady owner sitting at the table and she spoke Cantonese, Mandarin and English. First I spoke Cantonese but then she said something I didn't understand so we spoke English lol. I want the pork kidney noodles with some extra pork kidneys, I didn't know it was one big plate of it. I got the noodles with rice noodles, I don't like the yellow egg noodles. It was good, the broth was lite and refreshing, I think is a chicken broth, I could be wrong. There's only 1 pieces of pork kidney in the whole bowl and it was tough like it was cooked too long and it got chewy. There was a couple of shrimp, some chicken breast pieces and minced pork with beans sprouts. I felt like it was missing something because I had it before at another restaurant. The taste was a little different but still satisfying. The pork kidney strips were great but is a little too oily. There was some cut up lettuce on the bottom of the dish and some ginger with scallions on top of the sliced pork kidneys, I think it was oily because it was poured on top with the soy sauce, is a good flavor but still too oily for me. It reminds me of the days when I would chopped the cabbage and cooked it with garlic and soy sauce with lots of oil, it makes a good side dish when you're poor and living in Santa Monica by the beach lol. The lady was really nice and she doesn't come over to check up on you but is a small restaurant, is ok. Then it got busy, a couple of people came in and she got a couple of to go orders. Is a good environment and the price is fair. There's other restaurants and shops in the plaza too, there's plenty of parking but is tight.

Beef and tendon wide noodle soup

This beef and tendon wide noodle soup was recommended by the waitress as I didnt know what to order, too many choices. This was really good,and the chef definitely did not skim on the beef tendon.

Diced Filet Mignon with Black Pepper Sauce. Very good.

Not sure why this place is called Boston Lobster, but this outstanding restaurant in the San…read moreGabriel Valley focuses on Cantonese and Vietnamese flavors. Their signature dish - their "house special lobster"- is the most flavorful preparation of lobster that one can have. The lobster is fried and the juicy bites of meat is layered with garlic, green onions, and sweetness. If you're lucky, you might get some roe, which gives extra salinity. An order of lobster presently costs $34/lb and a "small lobster" will weigh 3-4 lbs; therefore, I only order this signature dish for special occasions. Even if you don't want lobster, don't fret as the rest of the menu is equally delicious. Their "yang chow fried rice", crab and fish maw soup, beef loc lac, and clams with basil sauce are all personal favorites. I love their lunch specials as their entrees come with rice, but at a slightly lower price. The food is top notch, and it brings amazing Vietnamese and Cantonese flavors to this location in the San Gabriel Valley. For a special occasion with my wife or with a group, this is always a winning pick.

First time at Boston Lobster on Lower Azusa Road and I was impressed!…read more I went with my son for a one-year-old's birthday party and somehow managed to arrive an HOUR late ‍. Thankfully, they were incredibly gracious and accommodating when we showed up. The food is served family style, so we got to sample a little bit of everything. The filet mignon medallions were delectable--tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. And the Lobster Noodles! This was my first time trying them and they absolutely delivered. The lobster was cut and fried in a way that made the meat tucked inside the shell really easy to get to, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. And that gravy... I was literally sucking on the lobster shell trying to get every last bit. So, so good. We also had a stir-fried green vegetable--possibly watercress--and it was delicious. Simple, savory, and cooked just right. I loved having something fresh and green alongside all the richer dishes. Great food, warm service, and such a fun meal to share with a group. I'll definitely be back.

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. Next time we'll need to come back with more friends to try more of their dishes.

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.
