I really wanted to love Couwami Asian Fusion!…read more The small, family run restaurant cozily braided into a strip mall one block south of the 210 FWY on Azusa had piqued my interest when I'd ferried an Uber Eats order from there on SAT. Interest captured by the vivid scents wafting from the kitchen and the mostly positive Yelp reviews, I boomeranged back 24 hrs later to place my maiden order. I went with Shanghai Egg Rolls and the Yang Chow Fried Rice, but I'd asked them to substitute more chicken and Chinese sausage for the shrimp, as your favorite Yelp correspondent has never enjoyed shrimp in any form other than cocktails. The staff is exceedingly nice!!! Owner/proprietor JOSEPH and his wife skate around as balls of determined energy, but with welcoming smiles affixed to their faces. The prices are pretty reasonable- My tab for a generous multi-protein entree and appetizer was $19.34 including taxes. But can we please have a conversation about the flavors? Couwami partisans! Tell me-- Did your faithful correspondent order the wrong items?! My Shanghai Egg Rolls were undercooked, limp and flaccid. The flavors were solid but the texture was so off-putting and uncharacteristic for a typical egg rolls, that I could barely get them down. The Yang Chow Fried Rice was also undercooked- I'm used to fried rice that has a toasted, beigy-yellow finish with chicken or pork cooked to at least medium to medium well doneness. My entree was, as the picture attest, a faint ivory hue and I actually hadta toss it in my skillet for five minutes to toast up the rice and finish cooking the tendrils of chicken, which were served medium rare, a micro-degree above pink but with the unpleasant mouth feel of sushi. Not exactly the way you'd expect your proteins to be prepared! I'm a huge believer in redemption. And judging by the hundreds of 4.2 level reviews on Yelp, I suppose its possible I just caught the cook on a bad night or ordered the WDT (Wrong Damn Thing)...twice! I'd normally accord two stars but will bump this up to three based on the utter civility and decency that Joseph and his staff extended to me.

This place is located inside Haven City Market. It was my first time here! So many options to…read morechoose from and this caught our eye since is Asian-fusion food and was also easy to spot since it is near the entrance. We had the following dishes: * Belly 2 Belly - Overall, this dish this good. But I think the pork belly needs to be crispier. * Tusino (Tusilog) - It is usually spelled as "Tocino". Another yummy dish. The only thing that my friend was not satisfied about is the vinegar. It was kind of watered down. Both dishes had spinach on it, making the dish healthier. Good customer service too and we got our food in a few minutes.

FOOD: I ordered the Tusino Bowl on a Friday night. The fried egg had some whites that were still…read moreuncooked. The tocino was about 90/10 lean/fatty, but not very flavorful. The vinegar was not vinegary. I suspected it was watered down. There were sliced grape tomatoes and cucumber included but they didn't seem seasoned and were bland. SERVICE: The person who took my order was helpful but distracted by the other things he had to do. I waited less than 10 minutes for the text saying my food was ready. AMBIANCE: I'll save the ambiance review for the Haven City Yelp page since this business is not directly responsible for that.

I was very curious about this place after reading my Yelp buddy Kevin M.'s review, so my wife and I…read moredecided to visit this restaurant. Located in a busy neighborhood of El Monte, CA, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Limited parking is available behind the restaurant, and street parking is an option if you can find a space. Upon entering, I immediately noticed how clean, well-organized, and modern everything looked. The electronic menu board is clearly and prominently displayed as you walk in. The menu is quite extensive, with options including wraps, salads, bowls, breakfast items, smoothies, and meal-prepped dishes with chicken, beef, salmon, tofu, and much more. I was impressed by the variety of choices and portions. My wife ordered an Asian chicken salad and garlic edamame, while I had a house salad with chicken and shrimp, plus a strawberry-banana smoothie and (2) protein donuts. Each dish was absolutely delicious. The lettuce in our salads was crunchy and fresh, the chicken and shrimp were flavorful and well-seasoned, the garlic edamame was tasty and cooked perfectly, and my banana and strawberry smoothie--let's just say I wish I had another one right now, as I loved it! If I may make a small suggestion: please chop the lettuce into smaller pieces, as the lettuce on both our plates contained large pieces that we had to cut ourselves. Despite this minor item, it was a positive dining experience, and we definitely plan to return soon to try other items on the menu.

I had the Chicken Pad Thai (medium spicy if you request it). My goodness. Delicious. Good portion too. Never tried Sticky Mango Rice, perfect. Just the perfect dessert to a good meal. It's like arroz con leche for you latinos. Thai coffee. Perfect.

This was my first time trying Thai food. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted and seated…read moreimmediately. I was very excited to try this place, as it has a very high rating on Yelp. This restaurant has a cozy, welcoming, and friendly ambiance. It's not too fancy, but it's pleasant enough for lunch or dinner. The dining area is moderately sized, not huge or upscale, but comfortable for most groups. I decided to try the Kung Pao chicken, the Chow Mein with vegetables, the Crispy Bomb, and the Hot & Spicy Fried Rice. Let's start with the Kung Pao chicken. Kung Pao chicken is generally a stir-fried dish made with chicken, zucchini, onion, bell peppers, peanuts, and sometimes spicy dried peppers. This restaurant has its own twist on the dish and uses a spicy roasted chili garlic soy base rather than the sweeter, more Americanized Chinese versions. The chicken was tender and very flavorful. Let's talk about the Chow Mein next. This restaurant allows you to order this dish with your choice of protein or just vegetables. I chose to order it with just vegetables. The noodles were perfectly cooked, but I found the dish a bit too salty for my taste. Next up is the Crispy Bomb. The Crispy Bomb is a mixed appetizer sampler that includes two egg rolls, two shrimp tempura, two cream cheese wontons, and three fried potstickers. This appetizer offers a generous and satisfying mix if you want a variety of crispy bites. It was the perfect way to start my meal. Last but not least, the Hot & Spicy Fried Rice. This was by far the star of the show. The rice is cooked with egg, chili, onion, bell peppers, and basil leaves for extra heat and Thai flair. I chose to add chicken to this dish. You are also allowed to choose a spice level, and I selected the second-highest level. This dish was savory with a noticeable heat from the chilies, aromatic from the basil leaves, and balanced with tender stir-fried rice and vegetables. I have been craving this dish again ever since I tried it. Now, let's talk about the service. This is where my final score takes a slight hit. My server seemed a bit moody at first, but she mellowed out toward the end. One major issue was that she was not attentive. Most of the times she checked in were when I was about to finish my meal. I also never got my drink refilled because of this. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, so I was surprised by the lack of attentiveness. Overall, this restaurant is a solid choice for authentic, tasty Thai food. I would like to give it another try in the near future, and I hope the service improves by then. Ratings: Kung Pao - 4/5 Chow Mein - 3.5/5 Crispy Bomb - 4/5 Hot & Spicy Fried Rice - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Service - 2.5/5

I decided to get a house favorite bowl - the Fiesta Chicken Bowl and it was delish. Ingredients were fresh and portions were generous! I love the combination of ingredients in this bowl - all things i love like brussel sprouts, chicken, corn, and Kim chi in a bowl. Or as my kids would call it - mom food. You also have the option of doing a "Build your own Bowl" experience - very much like a Chipotle but with Korean based ingredients. Customers really get a good value from here which probably explains the long lines at this counter vs. the one next door. This will definitely be one of my go-tos when I'm at Haven City!

I went there last week to satisfy my Chicken Teriyaki fix and to sit down and enjoy the Soccer game on my cell phone.
