    This place deserves way more foot traffic. The lunch specials have amazing value and 2-3 entrees can feed a family. Not too mention it is very delicious.

    Roasted Duck
    Ricky S.

    This review is for the roasted duck. I've been hunting for slighty cheaper price duck cause while Sam Woo is reallt good but their price has gone up tremendously. I came accross this Bbq place while I was in the plaza and decided to try it. I was so surprised! It's on the small side restaurant but seems cozy. Their duck quality was 8/10 and cheaper price! I will be back to try some other dishes.

    The waitress said the menu is wrong, the green beans is supposed to be spicy

    After I took my car in for service, I was looking for a restaurant that specializes in stir fry udon beef noodle, there were several places but it was kinda far from where I was. So I decided to just try the roast duck here, since is my first time eat here , I asked the owner if I can sample a small plate of roast duck and char shu, of course I paid for it. If I like it, I'll buy half duck and 1 pound of char shu for my family. When I enter the restaurant, it looks outdated and cluttered with boxes right next to the register, they should consider moving those plates/to go containers to the back or something, it feels like you're in a poor place. Anyway, I ordered the Mongolian beef, I thought it came with noodles but it didn't. Then I ordered the green beans, on the menu, it doesn't say is spicy but it was. Then the owner brought my bbq sampler with sweet dipping sauce, it has 3 pieces of roast duck and 4 pieces of char shu. Duck was ok, but the char shu was dry even with some fat on the sides. They served it with white rice. The young waitress there spoke pretty good English, but the older lady and older man don't really speak English but they do speak Cantonese and Mandarin. I asked the waitress why the menu showed the green beans as not spicy and she said the menu is wrong lol, that's funny. Maybe they didn't update their menu. After I paid and tipped, I went to ask about the duck and was about to order half but i wanted them to cut the whole duck that was hanging and I don't want the other half piece that was already cut. I don't know how long the other half was sitting there but she said no, she can't cut the whole one unless I buy the whole duck, she says the other half was only been sitting there for 10 minutes. Hmmm. I'm not really sure about that, so I didn't get it. Then her attitude changed to something that is a little condescending/rude...like I don't care if you want it or not, we not cutting that whole duck, take it or leave it. Will I be back ? no, even though I like both the Mongolian beef and green beans even though they were a little spicy. But thanks for the samples. I'm updating to a 1 star since I gave them 4 star about 23 hours ago and the owner says I'm poor. I came into the restaurant wanting a specific item and I'm by myself. I wanted the Mongolian beef with noodles and try their bbq, I also ordered the fry green beans. I'm fine with the Mongolian beef without the noodles. I been to many Chinese bbq restaurants and they do cut the duck that you pick like Kim Tar in City of Industry. And I do understand Cantonese, I just didn't appreciate the young waitress condescending attitude about not cut a new duck. But to have the owner calling me poor because I ordered the lunch special for $9.99, if that's the case, then don't put it as lunch special. And I'm sure all your food are fresh. And don't worry about me coming back because I would NEVER step foot in your restaurant again and I would advise others not to either unless you want a nasty attitude from the owner. There's plenty of places to eat and have better service like the restaurant across from them, Ocean Bao. Don't come here, owners have horrible attitude. Instead of taking customers criticism and try to improve their restaurant, they call you names and tell you not to come back. Good luck

    The food was ok. I think it could be better. Beef noodle soup. Wasn't my favorite dish. I felt like the beef wasn't cool right to be tender. It was too hard to chew on it. The service was great tho. The waitress was very attentive but overall I give this place just an ok

    Variety of hot and ready food

    Food is finger licking delicious. I get the half roasted duck and pork belly. Service is mediocre. I always get laughed at by the ladys behind the counter. They crack jokes in their language. Because waiting customers laugh as well. Ambiance is not appealing,

    If you're lazy to cook and craving some Chinese food, this is a pretty good place to go to. They have lunch specials that give really big portions for cheap but the normal menu pricing isn't too shabby either. The workers here are Cantonese speakers but they know enough English to help you order and understand what you want. I came and got some family style foods that comes with a bin of white rice which they will refill if you need more. Food not only comes with complimentary white rice but your choice of hot tea or my favorite, iced sweetened chrysanthemum tea! Pretty quiet with no music but doesn't mean you can't be loud and talk. Definitely should give it a try if you want authentic Chinese food and even if you're on a budget. See my pics if you want to know what I feasted on!

    Peking duck

    Very flavorful; would come back. The service was fast. And the ambiance was very peaceful.

    Prove that dasher cancelled

    I ordered on DoorDash, order was canceled by dasher so DoorDash give me refund and tell me to reorder, now they called me and ask me why I canceled the order, I said I didn't it was the dasher who probably stole the food. They said ok they will prepare my new order. And guess what? They don't even bother putting the meat inside, it was a dry piece of duck leg cut in 3 pieces, I hope you guys get shut down, so unprofessional.

    I would give this restaurant zero stars. Do not come here unless you want to get angry. I ordered a Fish Flavored Eggplant but they served me a Pork Eggplant instead. When I pointed out the mistake to the waiter, I expected them to bring me the correct dish. However, I was disappointed to find that the kitchen simply altered the taste of the same dish and served it back to me. The taste and presentation were still wrong. This not only failed to correct the error but also felt like an unethical attempt to deceive a customer. Never never back to this restaurant again.

    Yummy food! Reasonable price! Friendly staffs. The place is also clean. Definitely will come back!

    Braised Tofu

    First time trying Sunny Shine BBQ lunch special and it was pretty good! Their lunch special ends around 4pm so there's time after running errands on a Saturday to grab lunch. I've been to this place a few times to grab their chicken, BBQ pork, or roast duck. I remember their chickens were super plump and full of flavor. Meaning they were bigger than your Sam Woos; however time has changed. It's a good place to go if you're looking for BBQ roast pork or chicken. This restaurant is located in El Monte on Peck Road, right across from Ocean Bo (the place that sells dim sum) and Mana Tea House. The parking there can get really busy and the parking spots are really narrow. Especially during the lunch rush, the parking lot can get really packed. The service there is good, since I ordered to go I can't say about their wait service. Food comes out piping hot and smells so delicious. On this visit, I ordered Beef Chow Fun (dry style), Braised Tofu, Orange Peel Chicken and the Fish Filet in Black Bean Sauce. Also, as a bonus for their lunch special includes a box of complementary white rice. Most dishes on the menu are $9.99 or under. Overall it was a pleasant visit and the food was good. Especially if you're super hungry, it hits the spot just right. My only sad downside is that the boxes are not packed full like other restaurants. There was not a lot of fish filet in the Fish Filet Black Bean Sauce or a lot of chicken in the Orange Peel Chicken Dish. I guess times are tough and our dollars don't go as far anymore. The food is great, I just hoped for more food. The verdict, definitely coming back to try more dishes!

    I walked by to pick up food from corner beef noodle and it reminded me about this place. I haven't been here for 3-4 years bit I remember the food being decent. I walked in to just ask for a menu. They were so nice and welcoming when I walked I that I decided to make my way back soon for lunch! Food: Milder flavors. Less oil than most places. The fried fish was about $8. Absolute steal to get that for $8. Service: Very friendly staff. I'm not use to the meat guy being so courteous. Usually they're a bit rough and rugged when they ask you what you want. Price: Under $10 lunch deals. Some items in the $6 range!! Food: 4 Service: 5 Price: 5

    I would give them zero star if I could! Be careful if you pay with card! They will charge 22% tips without asking customer permission? We only ordered four dishes and each of them is average around 16 dollars only. I can not understand how come I ended up paying 90 something! When I asked how much they charge me for tips, the lady just looked at me without an answer. So I asked for the receipt with details breakdown, she is not willing to show me the receipt. I told her it is illegal to charge me tips without my permission, and I can call police! Then she showed me the receipts with attitude. I found the total before tax is only 69, plus 10% tax it should come out of 75. I found she charged me $15 for tips! When I questioned her, she trying to explain me she only charged 15%? Excuse me, 15% of 100 is 15, how you can get 15 tips with 75? It is totally unacceptable and NOT recommend this place for sure! It is illegal and unethical to cheat on customers bill! I used to come here a lot, it is my first time to come here since they changed the management. The previous owner offered better service and tasted much better! Today the roasted duck and pork belly is totally code! In the past they were always swerved as hot dish. The kong bao shrimp tasted weird, it is not normal Kong Bo flavor at all. And the peanuts is half cooked. The salty pepper pork chop and house special clam are ok.

We originally were hoping for 7 or 7:30, but based on how busy and popular this place is I can see why they said no. Come early and get seated right away and there's still ample parking in their parking lot. By the time we left at 7:30p, the lot was packed and people circling around hoping to snag a spot from folks leaving. The restaurant is pretty large and has about 3 rooms with different size tables and booths. No matter the size of your party, there's a table that will accommodate. The staff were very nice and attentive and FAST! We had our food out probably 15 min after we put in our order! Now...on to the food. We ordered one of the set menus for our party of 7 and it was spot on! As you can see in the pictures we had all the "classics". Our set meal could easily be enjoyed by at least 10 people. We had so many leftovers! The food was all well prepared and sufficiently seasoned. Portions of each dish was plentiful and everyone will be able to get enough to satisfy. My favorite items: lobster (duh!), kung pao chicken, pork chops, and shaking beef. The seafood soup is a great starter, and don't forget to add a little vinegar and pepper! Great restaurant in the SGV. This location is much bigger than their Rowland Heights restaurant, but the food is exactly the same. This is a great alternative to the popular Newport Seafood, so don't sleep on this place!

Came at 530 pm on a tuesday, and there wasen't anyone here yet. Afterwards it filled up quickly!! The main thing I dont like about this place is they dont have the prices on what your ordering. Which I'll get too at the end. Like any other Chinese restaurant, their menu is super extensive. I love how they have a little bit of everything. And its very well organized too. We ordered the following: 1. Crab and fish maw soup- this soup was amazing. It was just the right temp. Got me sweating. Can easily feed 12 people. Great amount of maw. The consistency is just right. Tasted so good!! 2. Small lobster special- on a bed of noodles. It was about 5 lbs. Cooked well. Could do without. Basically flavors. And it was expensive!! About $30 a lb. So this one dish cost basically the same amount as all the other dishes. Which was just too much. If I knew it was that much I would definitely not have ordered it. 3. Walnut shrimp- not the best walnut shrimp I've had. But it was ok. 4. Garlic shrimp- this shrimp dish was ok. Too many bell peppers and onions. It was just ok. 5. Mongolian beef- flavors were not that great. Very tender though. Could've been better. 6. Sea trout- this was amazing!! I love the sauce. Fish was so soft and tender. The heat, the spice, the sweetness. Some of that sauce in white rice was just perfection. It was really really good. Best dish of what we ordered. 7. Kung pao chicken- this was a really good dish. Crispy bits of chicken. But so soft and tender inside. I love the sauce that it was in. It was by far one of the highlights of the meal. It was good food. Price for everything (except the lobster) was pretty good. Food tasted amazing for the most part. Typical Chinese customer service. Pay at the front. Massively large portions. Solid authentic Chinese food.

However, if you want to try something a little different, there are some "traditional" Kaiping specialties that I haven't seen on menus anywhere else. I've always come with my family and have received great service because my dad knows the staff. They speak my home dialect so I'm sure there's some bias there. Foodwise, I've tried quite a bit and haven't had any dishes that didn't hit the mark for me. Standouts for me are the big claypot yellow eel rice, their specialty roast goose (the 2 dishes just listed may require a preorder but again, my dad usually handles all the ordering), their beansprout with pig intestine, and their egg plant with salted fish. The claypot rice is ordered by the kilo so really is a big party dish but has nice succulent pieces of eel, really well cooked rice, and then of course the crispy rice at the bottom. The goose is very flavorful and not super gamey, it has more of a meaty texture and bite than the younger poultry an American pallette may be used to so word of warning. I really like the beansprout with pig intestine, again not really gamey but very savory with very tender, fatty pieces of intestine (highly recommend even if you're hesitant with intestine). The eggplant with salted fish is also intensely savory with a pungency from the salted fish that may seem like a lot but melds really well with the sauce and overall flavor of the dish. Though I haven't tried every dish on their menu, I've tried quite a bit and can confidently say they'll bring out some tasty Chinese dishes.

    Honestly when you're craving Authentic Chinese food in the Baldwin Park area this is the spot! I…read morelove their House Special noodles with shrimp, beef, the works... it's filling thick noodles reminds me of Mongolian style noodles but enough to feed about 3-4 people in your family if you share. When walk in, there is enough tables on the side to sit down but the service is always warm and nice. I also like to order the house special (soup) style dumplings that are pork filled even though I generally don't eat pork, these dumplings are ground pork and delish and what you would want in a juicy dumpling. The dumpling soup 7/10 I'm not much of a Szechuan flavor girl. I do like it but I don't like it being drenched in it so much. Basically, watch out for the numbness and spiciness in this dish, although the lady taking my order did try to forewarn me by asking for my spice levels before hand. (: otherwise, great choices and great fix for Chinese cuisine! I always seem to order to go so I don't have any pics to attach to this review, but I hope to return soon to update my review.

    I usually go to NBC Seafood because I love the cart experience, but this place had been on my list…read morefor awhile so finally decided to try it out. Parking was easy on a Sun afternoon. We arrive around 2pm and there was no wait. You order off a form and the food arrives quickly because they have most of it pre-made and ready for take out in the back. Here are my thoughts on the following: - har gow: decent and STUFFED with shrimp - siu mai: super juicy and probably the best siu mai I've ever had - shrimp rice roll: decent, nothing to write home about - ham sui gok (deep fried meat dumpling): good, but not as airy as I like them, but still good - soy sauce chow mein: super bland - egg tarts: one of them was perfect, the other two were too runny like they hadn't been set properly, but the custard was sweet and balanced perfectly with the flaky crust - egg yolk bun: my bf really liked these, but I thought the filling was a tad too grainy for my liking All in all, I was pretty impressed with Ocean Bo and would recommend.

    Dined in for lunch on 4/26 with a group of 5 people around 1:00 pm. It was busy and we had to wait…read more20 minutes before being seated. Parking: plenty of spots in the lot even if the restaurants are full Food: We ordered a lot of food and it was delicious. Some items that stood out were the red chicken feet, siu mai, and har gow. The food tasted fresh and it is probably one of the best in El Monte.
