Pros -big portions -our server lady was very nice. -spicy dishes, we tried the fish and chicken were both good -there's watermelon/green bean soup as desserts after. Cons: -do not recommend dumplings from them! We had the cabbage one, and it tasted sour like old n pickled flavor.. read more

Extremely disappointing and disturbing experience. While dining here, we found what appeared to be a cockroach in our food after we had already eaten part of the meal. I immediately notified the restaurant and took clear photos of what we found. Management refunded our entire bill in cash, but what disappointed me most was how the situation was handled afterward. When I raised concerns about what we had just eaten and asked how they intended to address the incident, I was essentially told that there would be no further resolution and that I could seek medical attention if I felt unwell. Since the incident, I have personally experienced persistent nausea and loss of appetite when thinking about what happened. I have retained the original photos and have reported the incident to the appropriate health authorities. Finding something like this in food is disturbing enough, but I also expected the situation to be handled with greater concern and professionalism. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

Portions are very generous. Also, if you dine-in there's some complimentary self-serve dessert options. They also have a lot of options for their cold foods. We ordered a plate of the cold sliced pig ears. It was only $14.99 for an entire plate. Service was attentive as this was our first time here. Place was clean inside and plenty of space. read more

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. read more

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

We came close to closing time so it was empty inside. Staff greeted us right away and gave us the menu. They offer hot tea or water- we opted for the tea which was black tea. Their house special rice noodle in chicken broth seemed to be the popular item so we got that with less salt. Portion is great for the price at $15.99. It comes with some pieces of chicken, ham, two quail eggs, bok choy, bean curd, and bean sprouts. The noodles were cooked just right, very chewy. Ambiance was pretty quiet with occasion chatter from other customers and staff. 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 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

Food are big portions, but nothing stands out. Services not attentive. Kitchen looks messy, restrooms not well maintained, was smelly.

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

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

WARNING: DO NOT EAT HERE! Their cold dishes sent me straight to Urgent Care with food poisoning. That night was a nightmare--dizziness, vomiting, and non-stop diarrhea. By morning, I was in so much pain I couldn't even walk and had to get two painkiller shots at the clinic just to survive. I used to be a regular here, but after this, I'm never coming back. You are literally risking your health by eating here. Do yourself a favor and stay far away! 警惕！千萬別來吃！吃個涼菜直接讓我進 Urgent Care 食物中毒！半夜頭暈嘔吐拉肚子，隔天痛到不能走，挨了兩針止痛藥才活命。以前天天捧場，現在看見都怕。拿生命安全在吃這家店，老顧客良心奉勸：能走多遠走多遠，別給自己找罪受！ read more

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. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Service is great!!! Food was delicious!! Love the cold dishes like the cucumber, chicken feet, etc. the yunnan fried rice with beef jerky and egg was delicious as well as the pork blood and tofu with spicy soup base!! Place is good and casual 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

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
