Haven't been here in a while, but this review is mainly for their cold dish appetizer bar which is pretty popular. When I went there was a small line just for that section. The cold dishes are solid and they have a good variety of both vegetables and meats. I usually load up on about 3 items, mostly meat. My go tos are the chili oil pig ears, pork tongue, and the fuqi feipian (beef and tripe in chili oil). They also sell a bunch of frozen items like xiao long bao and dumplings if you want to take something home. Overall a really solid spot if you're craving these kinds of cold appetizers. Pair it with a bowl of rice and you're good. read more

MY FAVORITE PLACE. Whenever it's the weekend and I'm in the mood for a takeaway, this is one of my go to places! My go to orders is the spicy fish filet, spicy pork blood and pork intestine, dan dan noodles, or the cold cuts. I order for pick up, go home and have everything with rice and beer. Sooo gooood. The cold cut bar is filled with goodies. Spicy pig ear, kidneys, pork cheek, spicy tripe, etc and various vegetables. I love this place for sure. :) The restaraunt is a nice little spot located in a plaza with many other businesses and a shared lot. There is plenty of seating and the staff is always kind and ready to help. They do sell frozen dumplings which is a big plus! Next time I'm there, I'm gonna have to grab some of the XLB. :) Definitely recommend this to anyone who loves SPICY FOOD!! read more

I love supporting mom and pop restaurants in the SGV. Yunnan Restaurant offers authentic Yunnan cuisine such as the Yunnan crossing bridge rice noodles and appetizer cold dishes. I did find the food a little bit on the salty side, but I'm generally more sensitive to salt. It's located in a busy plaza, so parking can get tough during busy times like the weekend. The park spots are also really small, so I recommend trying to find street parking if the plaza is really busy. read more

I haven't dined in here yet, but a friend recommended this spot for their takeout appetizers and side dishes. You can choose three veggie options for only $9.99 plus tax, and they pack the container so full it looks like a little mountain! I've already stopped by twice recently. My go-to selections are the shredded potatoes, seaweed salad, cucumbers, tofu skin, mustard greens, oyster mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and spicy tofu. They make great side dishes, or I'll just eat them with rice. The portion is so generous that it usually lasts my husband and me at least two meals. I'm hoping to come back soon to actually dine in and try their noodles and other menu items. read more

This review is just for the amazing selection of appetizer/cold dishes as we didn't have a chance to try out their noodles and other foods. They have a wide selections of vegetarian and meat appetizers, ranging from seaweed and dried tofu, to pig ears and gizzards. They have one standard size of to go boxes, and you can pick 1-3 either vegetarian or meat items for each box, the vegetarian box is $11.04 and meat box is $15.46 with tax. Service is prompt, the appetizers lasts a few days in the frig and taste is delicious! Parking: located in the same shopping center as the 168 Market, there are plenty of free parking. read more

Authentic, fresh, delicious. Friendly owner and staff. Everything in the deli case and from the kitchen was a chef's kiss. Thank you Yunnan Restaurant! read more

Yunnan Restaurant in San Gabriel is similar to their original store in Monterey Park in their menu but their side dish counter is smaller with less items. You can choose 3 side meat dishes for $15 vegetarian for $11 or mix for $13. They pile on the items so definitely a good value. We usually get the signature Yunnan crossing bridge rice noodles. This location is smaller and not as popular as the Monterey Park store. Plenty of parking in the large shopping center. read more

First time trying this restaurant and I am so glad I did. We had the lamb dry pot and a tofu with seafood dis. The lamb dry pot is so flavorful and perfectly cooked, the tofu is tender and mildly flavored, perfectly balanced the spiciness of the lamb dry pot. We will be coming her more often since the price is very reasonable and portion is generous. read more

I'm always wary of places with a big menu but man! Yunnan restaurant does it so well, my parents come here all the time and the food is always consistent. I love the cumin lamb and the cucumbers. Their deli takeout table is a great deal too. Service is not bad for an Asian restaurant but maybe that's because they recognize us and we tip well haha. read more

100%漂亮饭！老板人很好，菜非常好吃！This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Everything I've tried here has been consistently delicious, and the quality never misses. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and you can tell real care goes into every dish. I loved it so much that I already know I'll be coming back again and again. Honestly, if I could, I'd order at least 100 Calderon steaks--that's how good it is. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a spot they'll want to make their new go-to. read more

This is one of those restaurants I go to when I want take out and need something quick. They have a lot of cold appetizer dishes laid out in a fast food style out front. All of the cold dishes are really delicious. I especially like the kidneys and pig ear. The kitchen can also make all kinds of Szechuan dishes. The rattan chilli fish is really good and the spicy dish with the duck blood and big intestines. I wished I knew what it was called in English. Service is fast and efficient. The restaurant itself is small but clean. I don't think I've ever seen anyone sit down and eat though even though there are tables available. Overall, great for takeout! read more

I underestimate how well done the majority of the hot dishes here are. The Spicy Boiled Fish is far more flavorful than the same dish at practically every other restaurant. It could be garlic, or MSG, but whatever it is works great. I like that it's not watery, but rather more saucey which goes well with rice. The Mapo Tofu is the most flavorful I've tried as well with the perfect balance of numbing, spicy, and other flavors. You really can't go wrong with any of the hot dishes. The cold dishes I feel could be tastier but they're adequate, while the cucumbers are quite a large chunk so it's not pleasant to bite. read more

I've been going to the Yunnan Restaurant in Monterey Park since high school. This location is close to my mom's and the food is still bomb. My favorite is their beef jerky. The noodles are also popular here. Service is great and everyone is so welcoming there. The decor is also very unique. read more

I ordered 3 different of rice noodles, a cold side dish, and salt and pepper fish fillet to go. But when the food arrived home, there was a huge wad of tissue inside the noodles. I almost threw up just looking at it--so disgusting. I threw all the food away and didn't dare to eat it. read more

If you're craving something warm and hearty, check out this place on E. Las Tunas Dr. Their Yunnan-style noodles in a savory bone broth are just what you need. I loved the depth of flavor in the soup - it felt like a homemade meal away from home. read more

One of my favorite spot for hot noodle soup. Their cold dishes, pig ear and pig tongue, are delicious.

This restaurant is in a strip mall with many popular places and parking is always a challenge. There is street parking near by. We have only ever gotten the cold cuts here. We like them a lot. Sometimes they cause indigestion, but we still like them. You can get three items either meat or veggies for a set price. We usually get one of each. The veggies choices include: seaweed, two differ kinds of mushrooms, tofu, American celery, fungus, and cucumber. The meat choices include: intestines, pig ears, beef lung, beef tongue, chicken feet, and chicken gizzards. Some meat and veggie choices are spicy. The veggies go bad in 2-3 days, so eat them fast. We have never seen them crowded, so it is typically pretty quiet. The people who work here seem to be Mandarin mainlanders, so it helps to speak Chinese to order. read more

Great little spot for some grab and go cold dishes. I was really craving spicy pork ears so I found this place on Yelp. They have a variety of cold cut dishes some seaweed to pork gizzard and you can pick up to the three for a take out combo. They also have a small dining area where you can order hot food as well. I picked up a combo of spicy pork ear, pork kidneys, and beef shank& tendons. It definitely hit the spot, I was pleasantly surprised that my favorite was the kidney, it was tender and quite light and flavorful. read more

Terrible customer service. The dumb cashier (some Chinese woman wearing a red sweater) was deceptive from start to finish. I showed this broad a picture of dao xiao mian and asked if they make it, so she points to something so clearly wrong on the menu. Then after I told her to look closer, she acted like something clicked in her brain and pointed to something on the menu that looked more reasonable.\ So I ordered the dish, but it turned out to be something completely different in the end. When I told her this, she just shrugged it off and had no sense of accountability with a "oh well, too bad" sort of response. I asked for a refund and she said she couldn't do that either. Obviously, I'm not going to throw away food, so I was stuck with an order that the cashier wrongly guided me to. I'll never order from here or step foot into their establishment again. The food wasn't even good in my opinion. Far too oily and salty. I would not recommend coming here and would give them 0 stars if it were possible. read more

This is definitely my go to for the style of food. Always quick fresh and affordable. Can't go wrong with the many cold dishes here so tasty. read more

Their house rise noodles is my top 1 from the menu! Very delicious and aesthetically pleasing! The aunties there are really nice and caring! Would definitely come back again! read more

1. Cold dish: you can choose all vegetarian, mix of non veggie/veggie, or all non-vegetarian. I chose bitter melon, spicy tofu and celery with tofu. They were all good, not to mention this contributed to my daily veggie intake . 2. Spicy two delicacy (shui zhu liang yang): you get to choose what 2 protein to add to your spicy "bowl", beef, pork, fish filet...etc., and i chose beef and fish filet. Man, it was delicious! 3. Spicy beef (yu xiang rou si): The restaurant is very generous with the pork strips. The dish is very tasty and good with rice. 4. San xian guo ba: i really don't know how to translate this and i can remember what the menu callwd it‍. In short, San xian = three seafood and guo ba = rice cake. This is a good dish and I don't see in a lot of restaurants. The dish came with squid, fish filet and shrimp. This actually had a lot of sauce and can be eaten as a soup . All the dishes I had were very good, very tasty. read more

This place is pretty good! Prices are decent. I came here for dinner. The cold dishes were amazing. I had some tripe, Mr & Mrs Smith, and some vinegar-y mushroom dish. They were all delicious! Szechuan style water boiled fish was good, but it could have been spicier. The fish portion was very generous. This was very "xia fan", meaning really good with eating a lot of rice. Fried intestines were good too. They ran out of pea leaves, so they suggested string beans. The beans weren't that good though. I think they tasted old or maybe they weren't fried well. The lamb with cumin was good. This dish came out more wet / saucy than I am used to. Still good though! All of this food fed five adults for $108-ish (with tax, no tip). I hope to be back to try more Yunan-style food! read more

My friends and I were chased out for not giving a tip when the service was very normal. They didn't ask us if the food was great. They didn't refill our water. When my friend ordered in English, the waitress rolled her eyes. Then the same friend didn't get the tea that was ordered read more

Surprising find of this Yunnan restaurant in San Gabriel. This restaurant specializes in round rice noodle soup. All noodle dishes made up of rice noodle and fillings. There are spicy ones and non spicy options. The house special rice noodle was what we had for lunch. The bowl was huge and we shared among three of us. The broth was clear and delicious. The noodle were soft and chewy. We also ordered the spicy beef rice noodle as well. Unlike the taiwanese version of the spicy beef noodle, the broth was not that spicy and the beef was more bland than the heavily marinated beef in the Taiwanese noodle. In addition to Yunnan style rice noodles, they also offer dumplings, potstickers and scallion pancakes. These are all good and tasty. I think the chef is from Northern China where the cuisine emphases spiciness and heavy sauce. The best dish we had was their sautéed egg plant with garlic. They don't use a lot of oil to cook the egg plant but the dish is very flavorful and tasty. The restaurant also offers ready made to go cold dishes that include vegetables and snack foods such chili oil pig ear, chicken feet, spicy beef and tripes. For three items, they can choose any of them on display and pay only$8.99. We also got a bag of frozen potsticker to go after lunch. The service was very good and our server was very friendly. She speaks both mandarin and Cantonese. The decor is more of old school as there is not much. Parking can be challenging as the 168 super market takes up most of the parking spaces. read more

Great service. The food was very tasty. The meat was very good. My husband enjoyed all the seafood too.. I Like the little buns with sweet sauce!!! read more

Stopped by since their to-go cold dishes looked great and the wait wasn't too long. The woman who was packing up the orders and handling checkout was running on low patience but she wasn't mean when I chose to speak with my hands instead of Mandarin lol. I got the pig ears, some type of heart/liver and marinated beef slices. All the dishes were packed to the brim but nothing leaked! For the price of about $14-$15 for 3-items containing meat in at least one choice, the price is not bad and this is a great option for a quick bite to pair with warm rice at home. Parking is ample, shared with other businesses. The restaurant only had one party when I went but it's a bit dimly lit so I think take-out would be ideal if you're shooting for ambience. Would definitely visit again to try their other cold dishes, I do wish some items were a bit saltier or less sweet but it's super small and overall, I would come whenever I have the chance. read more

Love the cold dishes! So many varieties! A few dishes a little bit on the saltier side. Their dumplings are great too!! Those frozen ones come convenient on a busy day when stocked up at home. Their stir fry dishes are very tasty too! One of my favorite places to go for cold dishes, actually the only one. The SG location is better in my opinion as compared to the MP original one. MP ones are super salty to my taste. read more

This place might not as good as the other branch, but it's still nice. The offer the same menu and same great service.
