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.

I ordered their famous pork buckle over rice. it's a self service place as you order at the counter, take your own utensils and water. food was served right away, in a plastic to go bowls. the pork knuckles were chopped to pieces so it's easy to eat, also included are 2 braised quail eggs and pickle beans. meat was tender and flavorful, sides are good as well. a good place to grab something fast. would come back to try other dishes.

For folks who want shabu but can't do AYCE, shabubu is the spot! The a5 wagyu is sliced to order and you can even see it through the window!

It actually got even better after cooking all the meat and vegetables in it. For the meat, we tried the Wagyu beef, beef tongue, USDA Prime ribeye, plus the seafood platter. The Wagyu was definitely my favorite. Really nice marbling, super tender, and you only need to cook it for a few seconds. The Prime ribeye was also very good and had a nice beef flavor. Beef tongue had a different texture but was surprisingly good in hot pot. I also liked that the vegetable set comes with a good mix of veggies, tofu, corn and noodles, so you really get a complete meal. If you're into shabu shabu and like trying different quality cuts of beef instead of just AYCE, this place is worth checking out. I would come back again, especially for the Wagyu and Hotate Chicken broth.

They're not as crowded as they used to pre-covid days, but that's always a plus on my end as a customer due to not having to wait for a table. I can describe them as a Hole-In-The-Wall kind of bar as they are definitely not trendy and updated (Think: Christmas decorations all year round). They have Bogo deals on their beer and you get to save any un-redeemed pitcher for your next visit. Highly recommended for anyone to just want to chill with their friends and have a good time playing Liar Dice.

I've been coming to Sunny Shine BBQ for years to pick up their roast duck and roast pork, which…read morehave always been reliable favorites. This was my first time trying their special lunch menu ranging $9.99 - &13.55 instead of just ordering BBQ meats. We ordered several dishes to share: * Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs * Braised Pork with Aged Vegetables * String Bean Chicken * Egg Tofu with Mushrooms * Stir-Fried Lettuce with Fermented Bean Curd * Spicy Vermicelli Pot with Clams, Scallops & Egg White * Steamed Giant Clams with Silky Egg * Salted Fish & Chicken Tofu Pot For an extra $5, we also added a small box of their brine duck, which was a nice addition. The lunch portions were reasonable for the price, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. Parking was also easy to find during weekend lunch, which made the experience convenient. The Salt & Pepper Pork Ribs had a slightly sour taste that made us question whether it was fresh, so we couldn't finish that dish. It was disappointing because everything else was fairly decent. Overall, despite of the pork ribs, I still think Sunny Shine BBQ is a solid neighborhood, family-owned restaurant, especially for their BBQ meats that I've enjoyed over the years. Very friendly service, quiet ambiance, and convenient location have always kept me coming back.

It has a small parking lot right out front in sort of a sketchy neighborhood, which El Monte is known to be. But I like hole-in-the-wall places that serve good food and at reasonable prices. The restaurant is small and looks very much like a mom & pop shop. Nothing fancy. The young waitress was very nice and the pho I got was tasty and the broth unctuous, served with basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños and lime, everything for an solid pho noodle soup! The spring rolls were also delicious. All in all, I would come back again, if in the area, usually when I drop off my car at Longo.

Still very authentic, they give you culantro so you know they know what it is. 5/5: delicious. Spot on flavoring, auntie or mom def made this recipe. On the pricey side but once you eat it you forget about the price. Overall, happy I drove from Pasadena to eat here. They def deserve the business. Only constructive feedback, noodles need to cooked a few seconds longer. Very Al dente to the point it didn't cook much more in the hot broth even after a few min. Might just be a personal preference, but worth taking into consideration for future customers. Thank you! Our Baby loved it all!

Walked in... then walked right back out. There was an older Asian lady with a short pixie haircut working the front. She looked like the only person around. I stood there for a few minutes waiting to be served. She looked at me. I looked at her. She walked back to the register. Then she went to serve a table and looked at me. I looked back. Then she walked back to the register and turned her back to me. I walked over to the menu. She looked at me again. I looked back. At that point, it felt like we were in one of those romantic K-dramas where two people keep exchanging glances... except nobody ever said a word. Then she went to help someone else without so much as a "Hi," or an "I'll be with you in a minute." So I took the hint and walked out. For the first time in my life that I left a restaurant without ordering because of a silent staring contest. That was definitely... interesting. Onto the next adventure.
