    Whole chicken
    Peggy Q.

    Dined at top one on a Thursday night with my family and what a nice new restaurant in the sgv. The restaurant is small but there was no wait when I went. They have great combo meals for a great prices. We got the combo b which came with a whole hainan chicken, clay pot rice, steam rice roll, seasonal veggies, and 3 ice lemon teas for $47! Honestly the chicken was delicious and juicy. Clay pot rice was good as well. Great value and taste. Only downside was wait time for food was long. It was only one lady running the whole floor so please be patient and understanding. Worth the wait!

    Duck Pancakes
    Brigitte L.

    Very hole in the wall spot in SGV. The shredded chicken was my favorite and was super fragrant and juicy. The Special Eel with Garlic Butter rice was yummy too. It's only rice and eel, but the eel and rice were flavored really well and we ended up demolishing all the rice. We were most excited for the crispy roast duck pancakes (a play on the beef rolls), but they were a bit small and dry for our liking. Overall, the food was delicious and the service was great!!

    Claypot rice with preserved meats
    Jimmy S.

    Came to Top One Kitchen Cuisine in Alhambra last Thursday night with my parents and it turned out to be such a great dinner. We ordered the shrimp rice noodle roll, Hainanese chicken rice, claypot rice with preserved meats, roasted duck wrap roll, and a beef belly and broccoli stir fry. Honestly, every dish was delicious. You can tell the flavors are traditional and made with care. The one that really stood out to us was the claypot rice. The bottom layer of rice was perfectly crispy and that soy sauce they use is crack. It soaked into the rice just right and gave it so much flavor. Definitely the must order item in my opinion. Service was excellent. It's a true mom and pop shop, which made the whole experience feel personal. The owner took her time explaining the menu and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Her husband is the chef and even came out to ask how everything tasted. I told him it reminded me of eating in Hong Kong and he just smiled. They both seemed genuinely appreciative, which made the meal even more special. I love supporting small family owned spots, especially when the food is this good. Parking can be a bit challenging since the lot is shared with a supermarket and other restaurants. The ambiance is a little outdated but totally acceptable, and the noise level was moderate so we could talk comfortably. Definitely coming back to try more items on the menu. If you're looking for authentic Cantonese flavors, this place is well worth a visit.

    My cousin recommended this place since it's fairly new. It's a nice diner offering a good variety of Chinese food and drinks. We ordered a few items to share. Unagi Bowl - Served in a stone pot. There was a lot of rice, which didn't quite balance the amount of unagi. The shoyu sauce may have been a bit too salty, likely to flavor the rice. Overall, not bad in taste. Hainanese Chicken - The meat was tasty and tender. Overall, not too bad for a first visit.

    No Amex accepted, visa or Mastercard only $39 with leftovers for another 1-2 meals! Secret hainan chicken $15 3.5/5 Large portion! Chicken is served cold, rice is ok. I liked the chili and the soy sauce the most. If the ginger scallion oil can be either a little less oily or more salty it'd be great. Shrimp rice roll with egg $10 3.5/5 One shrimp I got was a little fishy, but the others were fine and plump. The rice roll was a little thicker than Ayee, but you get a lot of product. Their sauce could maybe be a little saltier ?? Crispy roasted duck pancake $11 4/5 The best thing! Pancake is crisp and a little dense. Lots of duck and it wasn't gamey. Veggies help to bring some freshness. Service Very sweet. The daughter? Was very pleasant and the mom? Helped me pack my 3 dishes.

    Stopped by this spot to get their prawns again however, they removed it off the menu. Either they're testing out their menu or they've been switching out their chef. Whatever it is, it seems their menu is really inconsistent. Even their chicken rice didn't taste good. It was like yellow oiled up rice. Tonight we ordered Ancient method of shredded salt-baked chicken and it was a cold dish! If it says baked chicken on the menu, I'd assume it's a hot plate of chicken but no, it was cold as ice!! I asked her to recommend a few other dishes and she recommended beef w bitter melon and taishan cauliflower. Both are veggie dishes. We got both her recommended dishes and needless to say, we didn't finish both.

    Kimchi fried rice with clay pot chinese sausage and salted fish

    Second time here and this place still does not disappoint. The service is consistently welcoming, friendly, and top notch, which honestly makes the experience even better. The food is delicious, and the duck pancake is a must try. Easily a standout dish and worth coming back for alone. The ambiance is on the relaxed, quieter side, which I actually loved. Since it's a newer spot, it feels a bit like a hidden gem and hasn't been discovered yet. Perfect if you're looking for a chill meal without the chaos. If you're anywhere near the area, this place is absolutely worth checking out. Highly recommend.

    Beef short rib
    Louis C.

    Looking for a new place to try out and found Top One. It offers a mixture of Cantonese, northern Chinese and HK style western dishes. The lady who waited on us was super nice and attentive. The large beef short rib with red sauce seemed pretty popular based on Yelp reviews. It was very tender; but, it was a bit bland for me. The roast duck scallion pancake rolls were unique and tasty. The star of the meal was definitely the clay pot rice. It was very legit and had the proper burnt crust at the bottom. I'd come back again and again just for that.

    Top One is fairly new. They opened several months ago and I've been here once for dinner. I My experience was good and the dishes I tried beat my expectation. The restaurant is simple and casual. FOOD We asked them for recommendations and all of the recommendations (half-chicken dish, duck pancake roll, veggie dish) we went with were good. The curry wasn't spicy but it was still good. The portion sizes are also a bit larger than they seem. SERVICE Friendly and helpful PARKING Shared parking lot (free). Can sometimes be hard to find parking. Street parking is also available.

    Hainan Chicken Lunch - 6/2/26

    I was excited to tried this restaurant after seeing a recent post on SGV Eats. It turns out a total disappointment. I tried the $9.99 Lunch special Hainan Chicken. The plate came with a big scoop of rice with very little taste of chicken broth. The chicken were boneless with very little meat. I had 5 piece on my plate. Chicken was soft but tasteless. Sour cabbage underneath the chicken. Half a piece of hard boiled egg. You get your 3 sauces. I was still hungry after the small portion. Apparently, there's a minimum charge when using a credit card payment over $20. Otherwise they charged an extra $1 on your bill. Nowhere in the store was posted. So, I placed another lunch special per the recommendation of the owner. She recommended A5 BBQ pork and Chicken rice which was $10.99. When I received the take out. It was ultra light weight. Because I was given paper thin BBQ pork and 3 fatty chicken skins with paper thin white meat attached. I would not recommend this place to anyone. There's far better SGV deals elsewhere than trying to lure people with their $9.99 Lunch Special by filler in rice. With this prices and portion. I'd rather go to Sam Woo, We Chat Cafe, or Garden Cafe.

    Its small and cozy so can be a bit of a wait at peak hours bu the food is really good. I first came here after hearing about the eel curry rice which I like to try at every location that offers it and it was pretty good, also available with garlic fried rice instead if one isn't up for spicy. Hainan chicken can be ordered whole, half, or an entree with rice, very tender and flavorful and a must order for me every visit. The clay pot rice is well made here, good grains, good timing and fire control to get a nice crispy layer, my friend likes the freshwater eel topping and I go for the pork patties. We asked a waiter for recommendation and they suggested we try the roast duck roll, it feels like a cross between a pre-rolled Beijing Duck in pancake and a ShangDong beef pancake roll. Good food, try and visit off peak hours!

    PLEASANT AND YUMMY Excited to have a new delicious Cantonese food spot in town. Plenty of seats and cute vibes. Everything was freshly made and serve to order. I really enjoyed my lunch and got my rice noodle fix!! Solid hainan chicken and the duck wrap was soo good. The wrap was flakey and warm and the duck was tasty. Service was attentive and nice. Will be back!!

    Pork chung fun, good!
    Meryn D.

    The second time here and we ordered togo, we were sad about the food quality, the portion of the sweet and sour pork was very small, and they gave us fat meat that we couldn't eat. They didn't have beef chow fun so they gave us shabu beef meat chow fun, which tasted bad. The only thing was good was the rice noodles roll (cheung fun). We probably won't come here again.

The dark soy sauce, ginger sauce, and hot sauce were good accompaniments for the poached chicken. The rice had a delicious flavor from the chicken broth used during preparation. This is still the exemplary Hainan Chicken Rice that I use to compare others to. Shrimp Rolls came nine to an order. They were crispy with a good tasting filling and a mild spicy sauce. Great for sharing. My other favorite item is the Curry Beef Tendon Brisket. Their Malaysian style curry sauce is slightly lighter in color than before but still tasted the same. There were plenty of tender, gelatinous beef tendons in the curry and it was served with steamed rice topped with caramelized onions. The onions had a good flavor from the caramelization. Service was very polite and efficient. The dedicated parking lot across the street from the restaurant is very convenient.

They since have expanded and finally we were able to go. With that said, we ordered the Roti Prata ($5.99) - comes with only 1 pcs along with a very small portion of curry sauce to dip. Expensive for what it is. For entrees we got the Borneo Seafood 'From The Wok' (rice option, $17) but more like 'fried rice' consists of a few shrimps, strips of fish cake slices, and some fish ball halves; and their Gado Gado salad ($13) - a medley of fried tofu, some bean sprouts and cut cucumbers along with fried shallot toppings and peanut dressing, but the egg omitted. All were good but not great, well, actually the roti curry dipping was excellent but too bad it was so small. Excellent friendly staff. Seating was quick followed by their prompt ordering process, and alas, food came out fairly quickly. Why the 3-stars you might asks? I find the food price to be on the higher side for what they serve. $6 for a single piece of roti is a slight overkill considering we were used to getting two pieces accompanied with a much bigger bowl of curry compared to similar (Malaysian/Singaporean) restaurants. But this isn't the main issue.... The main (issue) surprise: There is an extra 3% credit-card surcharge on top of your bill which isn't noted anywhere as I found out after I got home. When the server came back with their little machine to pay, options were the 'tip' - starting with the usual at 18% so forth, and of course most tend to choose the first option, as I did. Brought my phone up close to device unit using Apple Pay and NFC kicks in! So in short, I paid 21% more on top of my regular bill. Question is, who doesn't use credit cards these days, or was it just another form of surcharge to cover employee health insurance to deter from mentioning? Be aware.

This restaurant is difficult to get parking because it is located inside a small plaza on the corner of Valley and Garfield. Fortunately, I found a parking space there. The restaurant is not particularly large, But there are many customers dining there. We ordered Garlic Cucumber, Braised Pork Rice, Garlic Water Spinach, Braised Beef Noodles, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Garlic Beef Cubes, and two Thai Milk Teas. I'm able to speak with the owner, who informs me that this restaurant does not use MSG or other ingredients. Everything is fresh and healthy. After tasting the food and the Braised Beef Noodles, I can tell it's really tasty and light, with no harsh components that make you thirsty and want to drink more water. So far, my family and I have really enjoyed the food here. Definitely will return and try other delicious foods next time.

    Prices and portions are fair in this little shop in Alhambra, and the pig ear here is cut thin and…read moremarinated in a classic chili sauce! Service is outstanding and very friendly, and the restroom is clean. Lots of free parking is available in the small lot outside. The restaurant is in a corner of the lot within unassuming outside exterior but very nice interior. The garlic cucumber was crunchy and light in marinade. I enjoyed the pig ear but prefer thicker cuts typically. It would be wonderful to come back to try other entrees.

    Not sure how many of these old fashioned Chinese restaurants are still in business these days but…read morethis place brings back memories... The place is small and furniture is a bit old. They take orders on paper and the bill also came on paper. Now, here's something that really brings back memories -- they way they make their Hainan Chicken -- most places make them with boneless meats (dark or white), which is easy to consume, of course; but this place make them with bones. I recall this was how Hainan chicken was made decades ago when I visited the Chinatown in Singapore. On that trip I learned that Man-Chan is an old city in the Hainan Province in China; and "Man Chan Chicken" is the origin of the worldly popular Hainan Chicken today. So, if you want some old fashion and AUTHENTIC Hainan Chicken, at an old fashion prices, this is the place!!

    Came for lunch on a Saturday and the place was a mess. Over half the tables hadn't been cleaned…read moreoff. The one guy working there didnt clean until more people came. The food is a mix of Cantonese Hong Kong Cafe style and Hainan. It came out quickly but was very disappointing. The Hainan chicken was tasty but mostly bone, barely any meat. The rice was ok. The french style filet mignon was good but the rice was literally ketchup rice with a little egg, pretty flavorless. And the meat was ok but way to much onion. The coconut "cake" was basic coconut jelly inside a hollowed coconut. Overall this was an extremely overpriced and disappointing meal. Would not return.
