I have been a long time fan of Ding's Garden. I went to their original location in Rowland Heights…read moremany moons ago but have been only returning to their Arcadia location.  There's so many good items on their menu but here are my usual go to: *XLB - juicy and full of flavor. definitely tastes great eating it fresh *fried pork chop (appetizer)  - perfect portion size and crunch.  *shanghai noodles - my kids love this dish and we usually have to order 2. *shrimp fried rice - this one is a good portion size and tastes great.  *pan fried wontons - this is my hubby's favorite. we like to dip this with the XLB dipping sauce. this is surprisingly pretty juicy too so be prepared for it to burst.  If you can't tell by now, this is a great go to spot to fill the belly and not break the bank. Staff are really nice and on top of it. A clean establishment and this Yelper definitely gives it 2 thumbs up.   Tips: Indoor seating only. Accepts credit card. Restroom available for customers. Ask for the sweet chili oil. That's the best, that they keep in a cold fridge. Made fresh and is a great addition to your dishes. Parking is shared with other local businesses i.e. Vons, subway, Yifang, etc.

My friend and I were craving Taiwanese food and came across this spot. We ordered the beef roll,…read morebeef noodle soup and the pork chop fried rice (not pictured, was too hungry). All of the dishes tasted so good. It had a comforting feeling to it. My favorite was the pork chop fried rice. The fried rice had wok hei to it and was flavorful. It didn't just taste like rice and eggs. The pork chop was also very tender! My friend's favorite was the beef noodle soup. He's Taiwanese and ranks this as one of the best ones he's ever had! The beef noodle soup was also flavorful and they give a good amount of tender beef pieces. The beef roll was just okay. The dough could've been a bit thicker and crunchier. It had the texture of a tortilla instead. Service was excellent! The server was quick and attentive. We received our food within 10 minutes of ordering. There is plenty of seating inside and parking is in a shared lot with other businesses. Would come back and would also recommend!

Saw the red bold letters driving by on Duarte Rd and immediately made plans to come here for Xi'an…read morefood! We don't usually see specific Xi'an food around all the time, so my fiancé and I were excited to come back. Now we know, Xi'an Foodie has delicious, authentic Xi'an food here at affordable prices as well. We go all out when we are trying somewhere new for the first time usually, so we got 5 dishes for less than $75 including tax and tip. We ordered the 1) Smashed Cucumber Salad 黄瓜, 2) Sesame Sauce Cold Spicy Noodle 凉拌辣面, 3) Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍, 4) Li Lao San's Cumin Lamb Hamburger / 李老三孜然羊汉堡, and 5) Youpo Noodles with Braised Beef Brisket, Beef Paste & Fried Eggs with Tomato / 油泼+三合一. First, they have the best Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) in SoCal that I've had - they are amazingly chewy and wide, and their tangy savory sauce is the best. When I think about liangpi, I'm definitely going to Xi'an food for another slurp of these noodles mmmm! I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful. They brought all of our dishes out in less than 10 minutes and our whole table was filled. We ordered way too much food, and we know it, so we got to take it all home to enjoy for another meal. We will definitely be coming back for their lamb stew, liang pi, and wide noodles!

Tea smoked duck! Order it! It's smoky, crispy, juicy and , savory…read more My go to order: numbing spicy chicken nuggets, stinky tofu, and duck. The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces. The stinky tofu is fried and pairs perfectly with pungent garlic dipping sauce. The portions are generous and the price is super affordable. Most dishes range from 12.99 -15.99. The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

4/5 vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful:…read more Lin's Club is a small family owned restaurant located in that cramped plaza at the intersection of Sixth Street and Duarte near the border of Arcadia and Monrovia. They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

What we ordered: * Feast for 2 -- $72.95 * XL upgrade -- +$3 each * Seafood Trio -- added separately The Feast for 2 comes with 1 appetizer, 2 drinks, 2 broths, 2 large protein entrées, dessert, veggies, udon, and rice. The meat quality was really good, the seafood was fresh, and the portions were way more filling than I expected. I thought we might need AYCE to try a little bit of everything, but honestly, we were so full! What I liked most: * Individual hot pots * Everyone can choose their own broth * Comfortable for solo dining * Great for families * Relaxed atmosphere My kids sharing one pot usually turns into an argument, so having their own pot was a big plus for us. They also have lunch specials from 11 AM-2 PM, including shabu sets, bento boxes, and mini donburi bowls. There are fun drink options too, plus ice cream and colorful macaron ice cream for dessert. We had the watermelon & lychee drinks at the end instead of ice cream -- a refreshing way to finish the meal. Good to know: * Family Deal is takeout only * Free parking available * Street parking too Good quality, generous portions, and an easy, comfortable setup. I'd definitely come back
