    Their cold noodles are really tasty, and the Chinese hamburger is also delicious flavorful and satisfying. However, I found the portion of chicken in the big plate chicken to be a bit too small. The flavor was great, but I do hope they can improve on the portion size. The restaurant itself is small, but the service is friendly and attentive, which made the dining experience more enjoyable.

    10. Special hot chili oil noodle w/ pork and vegetables (noodles were mixed already lol)
    Arianne M.

    We came on a Tuesday evening and it was quaint and empty but service was nice and welcoming. They answered our questions regarding to the certain dishes. Friend ordered the #10 spicy chili oil noodles with pork w/ vegetables and I ordered the #19 cumin lamb noodles. I enjoyed my dish's flavors, but I'm not fond with the noodles. It had a nice bite but not as chewy like these typical noodles would. As for my friend's dish, it's a bit bland and the cut of the noodles were a bit confusing (some are small, some are big where it's half cut). We felt bad that the noodles cuts were inconsistent and some of the noodles were thick which didn't soak in the flavors very well. I do like the value of this place so we'll give this place another chance again later on.

    The chicken noodle stew mentioned. "# 1"
    David B.

    Decided to try this new place a couple of nights ago. Me and my friend try restaurants at least 3 times a week. So we are fairly picky. This place exceeded our expectations. It is really fantastic. Very family run. Very fresh and homemade food. I had there "# 1" dish, stewed chicken that had carrots potatoes peppers onions with homemade noodles. (The noodles were so good that I wanted more. They have a more noodle option. Next time I'll do that). The chicken is boned which honestly I usually don't like. But the quality of the chicken was so high that I was fine with the bones. The flavor of the dish was incredible. My friend had a chicken fried rice that was also excellent. The cucumber salad was good but pretty much the same as you get everywhere in SGV. Service was very friendly and as I said, literally a family husband wife w a little kid. All in all, a great experience. I'll be back soon. Highly recommended.

    Special Braised Beef Noodle Soup

    This is a hole in the wall restaurant in an unassuming plaza, but the food we ordered really hit the spot! We got the Xian Style Cold Noodle with Chili Oil, Beef Noodle Soup, and Spicy Dragon Roll. The cold noodle dish was delicious - had some mild heat and the tanginess was refreshing. We also enjoyed the beef noodle soup which was homey. We will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu!

    Very delicious recommended Foods are clean and taste good Atmosphere is good too Young owner is chef

    Finally tried this hole-in-the-wall Chinese/sushi restaurant that I've been curious about! Employees speak Mandarin but I was able to order by pointing. The Xian Style Cold Noodle with Chili Oil and Cold Noodle Sesame Sauce were delicious - perfect noodle texture and a delightful sesame sauce with a hint of vinegar. The Salmon Lover and Pink Lady sushi, despite the slightly mushy rice, won me over with the quality and presentation. Located in an unassuming plaza, this spot did not disappoint. Will come back to explore more of their menu - a hidden delight in our neighborhood!

    Cumin flavored lamb hamburger
    Alien Ham m.

    Tasty food. Friendly owner. Highly recommended! P.S. the noodles were so tasty that I forgot to take pictures at the beginning.

    Lamb Burger

    The chefs here are amazing, dedicated to quality! The stir-fried cabbage is amazing - absolutely order! I had to order a lamb burger too! Excellent soups too

    Chef hard at work

    We ordered noodles in soup with beef as well as pork. Pretty good. The pork hamburger and cumin beef hamburger are good, slightly pricey. We also ordered the sushi combo that comes with 1 special roll and an assortment of 6 nigiri (mix and match salmon, eel, or tuna). The salmon nigiri was fresh, and the rest of the sushi was good. The service was great. The waitress had good recommendations, as well as spoke mandarin, english, and cantonese. I ordered 2 salmon and 1 tuna in the combo, but the chef swapped 1 salmon for tuna by mistake. He apologized and gave me two more salmon nigiri, pretty generous and great attitude.

    Beef noodle soup
    Kristine T.

    We love this quaint place with the chef coming to greet and talk with us! He's so nice! Most of all, the food was so delicious! We had the spicy fried fish, which was fried super crispy, then cooked in the sichuan soup with tofu, spam (yay!), cilantro and other veg you can choose. Their pork bun was so yummy! The bun was the right thickness n the pork was super juicy, flavorful and tender. The beef noodle soup was good with a twist. Overall, it was a really good experience.

    Service was great, seemed like there was only 2 guys working there the night we visited. Place smells crazy heavy is cumin! I would recommend the Chinese dishes, and just the nigiri. All the special rolls came with California roll base and I don't know how they mix the crab but it was not good. For me personally, it became inedible. Our favorite dish of the night was actually the most unexpected. Simple fried cabbage! So much umami taste and just enough mala. Deducted extra stars because the entire time we were eating, the men rotated smoke breaks constantly! It wasn't just disturbing how much they smoked but a bit disgusting to know they are handling our meal after smoking

    Yes, there's sushi and Chinese food at this restaurant. Don't expect authentic sushi but it honestly hits the spot. Generous portions here and the prices are good. Service was good although we were the only table. They served us loose leaf tea in a kettle so that was a nice touch. Parking was plentiful during dinner time (6-7ish). I think most of the other businesses in the plaza are already closed and this is the only place open. I think this is a great place if you have a sushi craving but also want a nice bowl of Chinese beef noodle soup. Haha. Overall, food is tasty and taste freshly made.

    Northwest Big Plate Chicken

    This is a gem of a place. I had the Northwest Big Plate Kitchen, Beef roll and Xian style Liangpi, which was flavorful and superb. You could tell a lot of care went into the preparation. The decor is a little plain but the service is wonderfully warm and friendly. It's located in a quiet place but away from the super busy parts of Alhambra and easy to park. I look forward to coming back many times.

Old notes for self -- New Year Day, and certain holidays have no lunch special. The SO did like these dishes before too. #26 Sauteed squid with black bean sauce. #57 Preserved vegetables with pork intestine. Jellyfish cold appetizer is decent from here too.

Our first item, the popcorn chicken, was divine - medium and fried to perfection, couldn't ask for better! The xiao long bao was next on the list, and these featured a more thick but still chewy skin. Unfortunately, two of ours were served "stuck together" which led to them breaking - sad! The last item, the beef rolls, were amazing as well. Not only is it a timeless classic, but the beef wasn't too dry. Between these tasty bites, we also shared a honey lemon green tea. My friend warned me about these mug sizes, and yes... one is probably enough for a table of four to share! This drink was super sweet, and it was definitely in need of dilution to be drinkable. Once your belly is full, though, good luck getting out! The space inside is fairly tight but nonetheless well worth a visit! Easily one of the best popcorn chicken in town!

I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.

Baked Sole over Rice (Cream Sauce): This is one of my guilty pleasures. I think they hit par when it comes to this. You get a decent amount of fish, the cream sauce doesn't overpower the overall vibe of the dish, and the cheese is just the right amount. I think it'll fill up the average person. Seafood Tofu Hotpot (comes with white rice): Again, another dish that's difficult to improve outside of using better ingredients. They did enough to make it good while keeping it at a fair price point. It's a good mix of seafood, tofu, and vegetables, and the sauce was the right blend. Curry Beef Brisket Flank (comes with white rice): The wildcard of the restaurant. People who love curry would say that it's not spicy enough, and people who just enjoy the curry flavor without the heat will just be able to tolerate the heat level. The gamble comes from the meat to tendon ratio, which I feel isn't standardized. If you enjoy both, then it shouldn't matter. But as a beef enjoyer who is not that big on tendons, it's a gamble. Signature Fish Fillet (comes with white rice): It's the classic sweet and salty blend in most Chinese restaurants that I find addicting. This place has a more peppery feel to it. It's gonna be hard to eat a lot of it, but those bites before you're sick and tired of the flavor bomb will be worth it. French Style Diced Beef Tenderloin (comes with white rice): I'm not gonna lie. I've had this in far too many Chinese restaurants. I have a hard time differentiating between all of them. What I'll tell you is that the beef is on the peppery end, but it's super soft. If you love slightly undercooked onions and mushrooms, you're in luck. Egg Tofu with Enoki Mushrooms (comes with white rice): Another Chinese restaurant classic that I find impossible to differentiate, but never have I ever been disappointed when ordering this. I will tell you that this is one of the perfect dishes to order if you're dining with vegetarians. Crispy Salt & Pepper Fish Fillet: They weren't lying when they said salt & pepper. It's a very salty piece of fried fish, and the peppers they tossed in there have a decent amount of heat. I'd stay away from this. Crispy Shrimp Spring Rolls: It's the appetizer for the kids (or adults who are being introduced to Chinese food). I'd only get this if someone really wants it or wants to try it. Salted Egg Shrimp: Normally, salted egg _______ is a luxurious delicacy. It's heavily sinful, but also very good. Unfortunately, this place's version is missing something. It's almost like they forgot an ingredient when mixing the sauce, so the overall flavor profile isn't popping out. It's a shame, I was expecting more. Shrimp Fried Rice: Stock standard. It's good, the shrimp pieces are sizable, and it's a good option for people who won't want white rice (which is included in many of the dishes) Hainanese Chicken w/ Rice: Many restaurants get this wrong, mainly just by giving boiled chicken and white rice, then just giving the correct sauces. This place doesn't do that. They get the chicken right, they get the rice right, and they at least got the ginger and scallion sauce, which was good. Overall, a good dish. Hong Kong Egg Waffle: This is supposed to be a dessert, but they served it along with the other food. By the time we got to this, it was already cold. The taste was decent though. Service: Classic Chinese restaurant with better standards. You order, and they give you what you asked for. Don't expect much, and they won't disappoint. Ambiance: It's giving Hong Kong food court x street side dining kind of vibe. I think people who've been to Hong Kong will understand and appreciate the vibe, while those who haven't will just have to take my word for it.
