Their cold dish appetizers are the best here! My go tos are the spicy chili oil pork ears, beef, and braised pig head. I crave this dish about once a month because the contrasting textures of the tender meat, gelatinous skin, and crunchy cartilage makes a great snack.

Cold side dishes

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.

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.

All kinds of appetizer selections

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.

One of the best restaurants for spicy but flavorful food. Their vegetarian hot and sour noodle soup is one of the best in town. The portions are also huge especially the noodles. It is a great item to share so you can try other dishes. Their stir fried veggies are always a hit and their service is always fast. It is a reasonable price restaurant.

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.

111. Lamb Dry Pot
Mai R.

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.

Side dish: shredded potato, garlic cucumber, spicy marinated fried tofu
Darren L.

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.

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.

But as for the food itself, the standouts would be the fried shrimp and the lobster. The shrimp is perfectly fried and I enjoy how soft the shell is. I like the lobster alot too. I personally prefer the way it's prepared at Henry's, but Newport's is still pretty decent. For the most part, the food is overloaded with MSG. Each time I've gone or taken food to go, I feel massively dehydrated after that I get a headache if I don't drink enough water. Luckily the staff was pretty on top of refilling our waters, and they often switched out our plates for clean ones. We've been going for years, and they used to allow substitutions for the set menu. But on a recent visit, this didn't seem like it was a thing anymore.

They have a waitlist available on Yelp, but I guess it wasn't necessary since there was no wait when I arrived. Super spacious inside, more spacious than the Diamond Bar location. The food was served fairly quickly. Beef roll was good, lots of beef, but I wish the actual roll itself had some crispiness to it. It was pretty soft. Braised beef and tendon noodle soup was spicy!! I didn't order it as spicy and the menu also did not indicate it was a spice dish, so not sure why it was spicy. The soup still tasted very good though and the beef and tendons were very soft and juicy. It could use a bit more veggies. Fortunately, the extra beef and tendons I got on the side were not spicy. Xiao long baos were good. Classic go-to dim sum dish every time. The skin isn't too thick. Great flavor with some vinegar and soy sauce. Hot Oil Shrimp Pork with Chinese Cabbage Wonton was ever spicier but this was expected. However, there was a weird taste like it's not very fresh or there was some tap water taste to it. I could hardly eat even one of them with the weird taste so strong. Overall very disappointed and not likely to come back to this location. The parking is pretty small and packed as it is shared with other businesses in the area. The back had more parking spaces fortunately.

Their…read morebreakfast combos range from $12.99-$14.99, making them a reasonably priced option for a satisfying breakfast. I ordered the steak and egg with pineapple bun and Hong Kong-style milk tea. The steak was just okay, seasoned, cooked thru, not chewy, I wasn't expecting anything too fancy for $14.99 HK café breakfast combo. The milk tea, however, was smooth and enjoyable! The abalone chicken congee combo with steamed rice rolls, fried dough stick, and milk tea seemed like a great value for $12.99. The congee was flavorful and definitely one of the highlights. The ambience really gives off Hong Kong and Macau café vibes, making it feel like a little trip back to HK. Service was attentive, and I especially appreciated how quickly the server refilled my milk tea. Overall, a nice spot for Hong Kong-style comfort food and a casual breakfast! 4 stars for the food and 1 more star for affordable value.

We flagged a server down and they got us a ticket for a number to wait. There's a bit of a wait, but also a steady flow of guests coming in and out. Once you're seated you'll experience a huge menu with a huge variety of food to choose from. We were excited about a lot of the options, but had a tough time narrowing it down. We ended up picking Yangzhou fried rice, Eggplant casserole with salted fish and minced chicken, and a meat combo of Bbq pork and steamed chicken. The food came out steaming hot, and the portions were incredibly generous. All the dishes were really flavourful and well cooked, reminded me of food I grew up eating in Hong Kong. My boyfriend who normally hates eggplant actually ate and enjoyed the eggplant casserole! If you are looking for some hearty, delicious, great value Cantonese food, this is the spot for you. Just know that it's a no frills kind of restaurant. I'm definitely coming back to try their other dishes!

The cook and staff are from Tan Cang, but not my business to share. Some dishes that are fantastic and worth trying! Bo Luc Lac - so good if you dip with their salt pepper lime. I have not had better shaken beef Vegetable Deluxe - it comes with ching gong choi, gan lan, shitake mushroom, straw mushroom, carrots, bamboo. Any vegetable dish they make is good garlic stir fried Steamed Tilapia - This is my favorite. Just something about their soy sauce with fish over rice. I loved it so much that I recreated this dish at home. We ate this dish going up my mom would steam this often but she actually prefers the way I make it! I want to say their soy sauce is amazing but the fish is not always perfectly steamed. The last fish we had were a little tough. But that's not their standard. Usually very good! Clams with Basil - underrated dish, same with the fish this sauce is so tasty over rice! My mom can also make this dish at home but obviously minus the msg Lobster with yee meen - they are known for their lobster and if you love nooodles sauce coated you might want to add yee meen. My family LOVES this dish. No one makes it like they do.

However everything was just ok. The lobster flavor was good but the meat felt overcooked. The crab had little flavor except on the shell itself and that was very salty. The crab meat also felt overcooked. We basically kept comparing this place to other similar Chinese seafood restaurants and unfortunately this one was rated the lowest in our opinion. My BILs both loved the fried rice though. Personally I found it very mid. Overall the food was just ok - tasty but nothing crazy amazing. Since there are other better Chinese places out in LA, I probably won't be back.
