LOVE LOVE LOOOOVEEEEE their tomato egg noodle dish…read more OH MY GAHHH. As a vegetarian it is rather hard to find a good tasty tomato egg noodle place in SGV. So many places here really cater to the meat eating crowd. But this place gives me and my meat eating friends a chance to have a tasty meal together! I 100% recommend getting their tomato egg noodle dish (not the soup version) with loads of their chili oil mixed into it. Heaven in each slurp! And you have the option to get your noodles in different types, my favorite is the knife cut noodles! Only downside is that this place (as many Asian restaurants in the 626 are) only accepts cash. So be sure to pull some cash before coming here. I do wish they take card since I rarely have cash on me but it's still worth the drive to find a nearby ATM to pull cash just to come here.

This place is epitome of a mom and pop shop. From then small Chinese restaurant feeling to a…read moregrandma who barely speaks English serving us. Food was very tasty and flavorful. This is what we ordered to share amongst two people: Bean curd strips (appetizer) - super refreshing because it was cold and if you put a sprinkle of the chili sauce, it's chefs kiss Bean paste noodles - I never really order or eat this but it was good! Cucumbers in this dish make it so refreshing too Beef noodle soup - very flavorful and strong soup base, it can be a bit salty but it's a good dish to share if you want variety Loved everything we ordered but obviously it was a bit too much food for us. This place is smart though because to limit the dishes, they just serve everything in to go boxes. Super convenient because we just paid and left with our to go food without bothering them to get a box for us. I don't speak mandarin too well but I managed to point and communicate slightly with my broken mandarin. This place is definitely a local place because everyone who came spoke mandarin. Parking is limited since it shares a lot with the other places in the plaza. Price came out to be $33 which I thought was really good for the portion you get. I would come back again!

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, especially when I'm craving a great chicken and…read morerice dish. They make it incredibly well, and what keeps me coming back is the consistency. I've been eating here since high school, and the flavor has remained exactly the same over the years--a rare quality that speaks to how much care they put into their food. The restaurant has a warm, family-owned atmosphere that makes you feel welcome every time you visit. It's the kind of place that has built a loyal customer base through good food, friendly service, and reliability. If you're looking for a comforting meal with flavors you can count on, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Price is reasonable and food taste heartwarming. Favorite dish : fried chicken & red tomato rice dish , Hainan chicken and rice. Sauce is amazingly delicious and unique. Beef cubes. Mapo tofu. Soups is alwyas complimentary.

I was craving Taiwanese breakfast, but I wanted to try something new for a change. I knew of this…read moreTaiwanese breakfast place fairly close to me, so I decided to stop by and give it a try. I came here with family for an early morning brunch. We ended up sharing fantuan (sticky rice roll), zhajiangmian (stir fried pork noodles) and also a jianbing (green onion and egg pancake with fried dough inside). We also got a cold sweet soy milk. The flavors were solid but fairly standard as far as Taiwanese food goes. I enjoyed the fantuan a lot with white rice and pork floss. The stir fried noodles were decent. The fried dough in the jianbing was a bit too soggy for me. Overall, solid breakfast place, but nothing ground breaking in any way.

I saw a several tables that had just one person eating alone. -Purple rice roll (fan tuan) $7.19 - I added a tea egg for $1.79 extra. They put half on each end of the rice roll. The rice was sweet and there was too much of it. I would have enjoyed more pickled veggies (suan cai). -Hot soy milk (unsweet) $2.99 - Good, average. Sugar on the side, add to taste. -House crepe $6.69 - My first time trying this and I don't think I'd get it again. It's a thin sheet of egg with salty sauce and the deep fried cruller (you tiao). Server spoke Mandarin with heavy Chinese accent. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom in the back.

My soymilk tastes burnt, and I don't think it's supposed to taste like that. They have a lot of Chinese pastries that are uncommon, so you need to ask them what are their filling.

We like the convenience of being able to buy the trays of frozen meat by the pound and they seem like fresh cuts. Honestly we haven't tried the lamb, as we are not a fan of lamb meat.

The menu was quite long but didnt have time to translate so Im not sure if there were different cuts or not but the meat was delicious and thin. $15.00 per set is a good amount of meat 1.5 LB per set 3 people couldn't finish 2 servings so that gives you an idea, its literally a mound of meat that comes semi frozen and ready to be boiled! Would definitely go back and try some more meats, the price is great and thin sliced so its easier to separate and hotpot it up for a party! They have meat balls there but didnt have time to figure out which was which The lady was nice but only speaks chinese so be patient or just whip out google translate!

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask…read more All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is decent. They do share the lot with several other establishments. The parking lot doesn't get full quickly. Parking spots are nice and wide. Food: I ordered one whole roasted duck for $25 and 1.7 lbs of crispy pork belly for like $42. The skin on the roasted duck is very crispy while the duck meat itself is very soft, tender, and juicy. You can taste the sweet and salty soy sauce in the meat. It tastes so satisfying. Yum! The crispy pork belly was extremely crispy, tender, and juicy. I love the top layer of golden and crackling skin. I love the crunching sound it makes whenever I bite into the pork belly. So fricken mouthwatering! Staff: The staff here are very meh. Let me elaborate. On the days that the mom / wife / owner isn't working, you'll have excellent service because her son is so kind, approachable, friendly, and courteous. He only works when his mom is out of commission or on vacation. The mom / wife / owner is very rude, mean, and blunt. When she works, expect yelling in the restaurant. She'll make rude comments about your look, and if you are overweight, she'll point it out and tell you to order more food if you ordered a little bit of food from her. Honestly, I ignore all of her mean and downright rude comments to me and everyone else because the food is just too good. I can put up with her rudeness for the delicious food. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. But they will automatically charge 2% if you use credit cards. They prefer cash.

Extremely disappointing experience. I will never ever recommend this place!!!…read moreI came here with a friend expecting a decent meal, but the entire experience was frustrating from start to finish. I ordered the $16 tomato and egg noodles, while my friend ordered the $17 zhajiang noodles. Before ordering, I specifically asked the owner whether I could get a noodle refill. He told me yes. After I finished my noodles, I asked for the refill and was suddenly told that only the zhajiang noodles could be refilled. If that is the restaurant's policy, it should have been clearly explained when I asked before ordering. Telling a customer "yes" first and then changing the answer after they have finished their meal is simply poor communication and poor service. The service was the worst part of the experience. My noodles took an unnecessarily long time to come out. More importantly, I felt that the owner treated me noticeably differently from my friend. He was friendly toward my friend but cold and impatient toward me, which made me feel genuinely unwelcome. I understand that tipping is customary in the US, but customers should not feel that the quality of service depends on how much they order or whether they leave a tip. I came here as a paying customer and expected basic courtesy. The food was also nowhere near worth the price. My $16 tomato and egg noodles were extremely basic, only noodles with tomato and egg and they sell it for $16!?? The flavor was nothing special and certainly did not justify the price. My friend's $17 zhajiang noodles had very little meat, and the meat was chopped into tiny pieces. For nearly $20 after tax and tip, this level of food is simply not acceptable to me. The value is poor. $16-17 for a basic bowl of noodles can be reasonable if the food, portion, service, or overall experience makes it worthwhile. Here, none of those things stood out. The ambiance was also underwhelming. There was nothing particularly comfortable, welcoming, or memorable about the dining environment that would justify the price. Combined with the poor service, the atmosphere made the meal feel even less enjoyable. What makes this experience especially frustrating is that I hadn't eaten all day. I came here genuinely hungry and looking forward to a good meal, only to leave feeling irritated and disappointed. There are plenty of other Chinese noodle restaurants in the area where I can spend $16-17 and actually feel like I received a meal worth paying for. For the price, the food is mediocre, the value is poor, the ambiance is unremarkable, and the service was unacceptable. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant, do not come!

They excel at rice bowls and rou jia mo (crispy flatbread meat sandwiches). Huanxi Signature Braised Pork Rice (Pork over Rice): Like pulled pork, the meat is shredded, tender, and surprisingly juicy. This hearty bowl of rice is filled with hidden treasures. It contains matchsticks of potato, cabbage, pickled long beans, and two creamy quail eggs. You select a chili sauce to top the meat. The green chili sauce tastes like a fire roasted hatch chili salsa. With smoky charred notes and strong garlic flavor, you'll definitely want some of it on each bite. Braised Pork Flatbread: The same tender meat is provided in pocket form. The flatbread is extra crispy with many layers and a dense texture. There's something irresistible about flavorful juicy meat in a crispy pastry. You'll want to unravel pieces of the warm flaky bread. Ordering: Mash the buttons on the screen of the kiosk and pay. Someone will call your name when the food is ready. Parking: The lot is small and usually paper with a steam of delivery drivers. There's plenty of street parking.
