Miao Yun isn't one of those flashy modern markets, it's the kind of place people recommend because the quality is consistently amazing and the owner genuinely cares. & the owner is the sweetest uncle ever! He's attentive, warm, remembers preferences, gives great recommendations, and somehow always steers me toward something good. I usually ask for fattier cuts of meat and he NEVER misses. The quality of the sliced meats here is honestly better and fresher than what I've gotten from a lot of larger Asian markets in SGV, and the pricing is better too. This is basically my one-stop shop for hot pot night. Frozen sliced meats, fish balls, condiments & sauces, noodles, etc... the store has pretty much everything you need. The selection is great and it's easy to walk out with your entire spread planned. Also worth mentioning: plenty of parking in the outdoor lot, which makes stocking up way less stressful. What keeps me coming back though isn't just the quality or pricing - it's the service. In an area with endless food options, it's rare to find a place that still feels this personal. You can tell the owner truly cares that you leave happy. One of my favorite hidden gems in SGV and a place I'll keep coming back to forever

Since she's pescatarian, we wanted to make sure she felt accommodated, and it was incredibly easy to find plenty of delicious options for both her and her guests. The whole ordering process was smooth and completely stress-free. OMG--the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with care. On top of that, the decor and presentation were stunning--the aesthetics really elevated the entire experience. Pickup was also seamless and efficient, which made everything even better. Overall, I highly recommend them for anyone looking for amazing food and beautiful presentation!

Delicia handled the food, tables, chairs, linens, florals and dessert! Oh and by the way the food is amazing! I loved the Alfredo pasta and chicken piccata and I couldn't stop eating the desserts. We had the tiramisu cups, cheesecake bites and a chocolate tart. The arrangements were so beautiful, from the food to the florals. She took my theme and ran with it. Everything looked meticulously done. Khalil was such a nice help all night and Jasmin was the best support ever. She really provided so much support to my mother who was hosting the event for me. You guys book Delicia, seriously you won't have to worry about anything.

I picked up their classic egg tarts, Portuguese-style egg tarts, and the honey bun. The egg tarts…read morewere the highlight for me--the custard was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet, while the crust had a nice buttery, flaky texture. The Portuguese-style tart had that beautiful caramelized top that added an extra layer of flavor. Everything looked fresh and beautifully baked, and the pastries had that comforting Hong Kong bakery style that makes you want to keep coming back for more. The bakery itself is small and more of a grab-and-go spot, but the service was quick and friendly. Their egg tarts are also popular enough that they can sell out, especially on busy weekends, so going earlier is a good idea. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Monterey Park and love traditional Chinese/Hong Kong pastries. The egg tarts are a must-try!

I highly recommend their Pineapple BBQ Pork Bun ($3.75), BBQ Pork Pie ($3.25), Curry Beef Pie ($3.25), and Hot Dog Bun ($2.40). Their egg tarts are also a winner, but I don't always get it because I prefer savory items. This place accepts cards and parking is plenty!

So far so good…read more... Stopped in today to get information regarding an order of 150-200-lbs.of meat for a "small" birthday party. Armando was very polite and answered my questions, offing a quote and what I need to do to place the order etc. I also had to call twice to follow up on a couple of items, each time the person on the phone was attentive and curious. November 9/10 I will pick up my order, hopefully I'll be able to offer up a solid and complete review based on the product. We will have a chief & sue-chief who will be cooking, baking and catering this event so they will know if the meat is of a high quality. I will return and report on the service and quality of the meats! I may even take a photo since I notice no photos were listed!

We arrived when they opened at 5p and sat in one of their communal tables. It was a hot day and the AC wasn't up to the challenge. With the oven, the crowd and weather, it was rather warm inside. However, I guess it replicated an authentic dining experience in Italy. The restaurant became packed shortly afterwards and the conversations and laughter echoed vibrantly. It felt like we were in Italy. Our server, Alfred, was a pro and a delight. He took care of us without breaking a sweat and always with a smile. We tried many pizzas, salads and pastas. Everything was delish. What really caught my eye was the ribeye steak, which we didn't try. It's a monster ribeye at a very reasonable price. It looked amazing. I have no doubt I will be scarfing down one of those in the near future. I highly recommend a visit if you haven't been. Go hungry and know the portions are generous.

I usually place an order through their Instagram DMs a few weeks in advance for holidays. You can ask for their excel spreadsheet and they'll send it to you with prices and this same spreadsheet updates every year! There is also a little deposit for holiday pick up depending on the size of your order. Their sashimi platter is beautiful, fresh, delicious, and always a party favorite. I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter. Highly recommend for party platters for fresh sashimi.

I thought it tasted quite good. Maybe not like the old Tito Tacos in Culver City but very close. Perhaps if you put the Tito's salsa on the taco it would be almost the same.

The service was friendly. It felt like you're going to a family friend's house and they were feeding you. I ordered from the counter and took a seat inside. Not a lot of seating, but there is seating. I got the taco dorado (or hard shell taco) and got some taquitos as well. I even got to try their green and red chile which I think is their specialty. The flavors and textures here are great. The taco and the kiddos had a great crunch. And there was definitely a lot of flavor and spice coming from the chiles. I really love old school spots like this. There's also a good amount of parking around on the street. It's an odd shaped parking lot so I just parked on the street to avoid a possible awkward entrance/ exit.

I spent quite a bit of time with the lady working there, and she recommended the one I purchased. When I got home and opened the box, I was shocked. The product had a foul smell, and to my horror, a live worm crawled out. It was disgusting and completely unacceptable. I couldn't believe a store would sell something like this to its customers. This experience has seriously damaged my trust in this store. The quality control is clearly lacking, and the customer service is nothing like it used to be. The staff no longer seem interested in helping customers--they act as if they're the owner's relatives and don't care about providing good service. Very disappointed!
