I have to say this bubble tea shop totally exceeded my expectations. The drinks here are genuinely…read morehigh quality, not those overly sweet artificial-tasting ones that flood so many places. Every cup is freshly made right when you order, and you can really tell they use premium tea leaves and fresh milk instead of cheap powder creamer. My favorite part is how well-balanced the flavors are. The tea aroma stays strong and clear, not buried under piles of sugar. The boba pearls are perfectly chewy -- soft on the inside with just the right bounce, never too hard or mushy. I love that they let you fully customize sugar level and ice amount, so you can make the drink exactly how you like it.

If you're looking for actual Japanese products, you're best going to Mitsuwa which is an only a couple miles away.

Miao Yun isn't one of those flashy modern markets, it's the kind of place people recommend because the quality is consistently amazing and the owner genuinely cares. & the owner is the sweetest uncle ever! He's attentive, warm, remembers preferences, gives great recommendations, and somehow always steers me toward something good. I usually ask for fattier cuts of meat and he NEVER misses. The quality of the sliced meats here is honestly better and fresher than what I've gotten from a lot of larger Asian markets in SGV, and the pricing is better too. This is basically my one-stop shop for hot pot night. Frozen sliced meats, fish balls, condiments & sauces, noodles, etc... the store has pretty much everything you need. The selection is great and it's easy to walk out with your entire spread planned. Also worth mentioning: plenty of parking in the outdoor lot, which makes stocking up way less stressful. What keeps me coming back though isn't just the quality or pricing - it's the service. In an area with endless food options, it's rare to find a place that still feels this personal. You can tell the owner truly cares that you leave happy. One of my favorite hidden gems in SGV and a place I'll keep coming back to forever

This shops shares the same parking lot with Costco Alhambra so you know what to expect when it comes to how quickly you can get in and out of here. If stopping just for chicken, I park along Palm Ave just outside of the lot and walk over since the shop is alongside Palm Ave. The chickens are always fresh like you'd get at one of their locations that handles live poultry and they also sell an assortment of fresh vegetables and basic groceries and ingredients. They do fit quite a bit into such a compact store space. They do accept cash/debit/credit card here.

I remember when it was the Diner on Main and, since then, the interior has been remodeled. The interior is comfortable, clean, and the lighting makes the place quite intimate. As for the food, I thought it was very well-seasoned without being too salty. These were the dishes we got: Chicken Salad ($28): A cold chicken salad with fried taro strips, pickled peppers, shredded carrots, cilantro, and sweet pickled onions. I thought this would be very bland, but it turned out to be my favorite dish because of how refreshing it is. The chicken is boiled like hainan chicken and seasoned with a light, tangy sauce. Everything went well together. 4.5/5 stars Orange Chicken ($18): This is a pretty typical orange chicken. I don't think it wow'd me, but I liked that it wasn't overly breaded. 4/5 stars Black Pepper Filet Mignon with Mushrooms ($25): I'm not a huge mushroom person, but I really liked the mushrooms here. It was a combo of oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms with cubed filet mignon. The beef was also really tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth. 4/5 stars Shrimp in XO sauce ($25): This dish was slightly spicier than I expected, but it was also pretty good. The size of the shrimp was huge and the vegetables were on point. It had snap peas, bell peppers, and mountain potato (aka Japanese mountain yam). 4/5 stars The service was very attentive and the owner of the restaurant was very kind. The owner helped us mix the chicken salad at the beginning of our meal and helped my mom cut her birthday cake at the end of the meal. 5/5 stars for service. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

We don't live too far from here my sister and I decided to stop in and check it out since it was fairly new to open up a couple of weeks ago. Decided to check it out and we got extremely lucky I was able to find a parking spot here. We typically go to the store on on Huntington and San Gabriel and sounds a little closer to home and thought that the parking would be a little bit easier here but we were dead wrong. I feel like the parking is a little bit worse and there's a lot more cars being able to come in from different directions so if felt more chaotic here for sure. The store is pretty big and it took over another supermarket chain location. But everything is pretty standard and felt pretty big here. What can always be expected are some great snacks and food items here at trader Joe's. It was fun buying something unique sounding and finding a new favorite item to buy. Are the big fan of the ostrich motif on the wall. South Pasadena used to do a lot of ostrich races back in the day or not even that far back. But it has strong ties to the community. So that's subtle nod the decor is pretty neat. I'll have to do research about other locations now that I know they do Easter eggs like this. The store seemed fairly big so it didn't seem too crowded and there was a lot of registers open. I feel like the biggest bottleneck could be finding parking but that's not a new thing for trader Joe's typically.

Right next door, find Uncle Fung Coffee Stall, his daughter's tribute to her Indonesian roots. Here, relax in the retro-modern space and enjoy coffee and tea with an Indonesian flair. The vibe feels timeless. The paint-speckled brick walls and polished tiled floors starkly contrast the heirloom porcelain and framed Indonesian memorabilia. Small square tables and metal chairs are crammed into the narrow space. Close to opening, seats are plentiful, and serene pop blends with the espresso machine; later in the morning, the air is filled with chatter, and the queue stretches to the door. Of the drinks, our go-to has been The Putu, a pandan-forward latte that isn't too sweet. But don't sleep on the Indonesian pastries. I particularly enjoyed the Dadar Gulung, a vibrant green pandan crepe filled with sweet coconut. The scarlet, tortoise-shaped Angku Kueh is stuffed with an addictive mung bean filling. The Talan Ubi sweet potato-and-coconut treats tasted like fall. The Kueh Lupis, a sticky rice triangle with a side of palm sugar syrup, sports a spot-on Q texture, but is one-dimensional in flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Pastries cost about ~$3-5, while specialty beverages run in the $7-8 range. The location is stellar (just steps away from the Alhambra Farmers Market), and the coffeehouse fare is uniquely crave-worthy. In all, Uncle Fung is a key member of Alhambra's specialty coffee scene, and it cracks my regular rotation.

It was excellent! We also ordered Putu Ayu, Chiffon pandan and banana bread. The putu Ayu was outstanding. The chiffon pandan was very fluffy, fragrant and freshly baked. Banana bread was moist and rich in flavor. The staff were very nice. The service was fast. We enjoyed our drinks and desserts. We really had a great time.
