Great food, it really stands out the Taiwan food's essence, loved it. Can't miss sesame bread, it takes 30 minutes to prepare, but worth the wait, because it is individually prepared after ordered, so it's super fresh and delicious read more

當你悟透時，就會發現，錢財不是最重要的，身體才是最珍貴的，好好的過生活，認真的愛自己，可以回憶過去的點點滴滴，但更要珍惜眼前的分分秒秒～ 這家嚐來，是一個對食物比較有要求的師姐特地帶我來的，因為大部分我介紹的餐廳都被她打槍，原來這家廚師是以前在美國華西街上班的員工，這間最有名的當然就是他們這個招牌蔥花大餅了，剛剛拿上來的時候，熱騰騰的，那滋味又Q 又香的呢，我注意到每桌都有點歐，每一道菜炒的都很棒，我個人非常喜歡豆酥鱈魚，跟涼拌土豆，其實我們點的每道都有水準，都好吃，真的，聽說酸辣湯才是真正的好喝的湯， 但是是小家庭經營，所以坐在那裡要非常有耐心，看得出來他們轉桌率非常的慢，人手很少，脾氣壞，很急躁，肚子餓久會罵人的就不要去了，個性溫和些的，要是想試試新餐館， 可以找時間過來看看！ -- at Ahgoo's Kitchen. read more

When my family arrived they asked us to wait. Someone walked in afterwards and they sat them first. Looked like maybe they knew the staff. They came over and said "those people have a reservation." This place does not look like the type of place that takes reservations but does look like the type of place that would lie about someone having reservations. We tried ordering green onion pie. They said they ran out. Sure enough, the table they sat before us got an order. Staff lied again and said they preordered. Sad thing is my daughter listened to their conversation in mandarin and they had ordered it on the spot. Staff continued to lie and stood by what they said. Won't be coming back to be treated like this. read more

Large portions! Though prices are inflated due to pandemic, this is expected and the quality is good. Next time we'll try the seaweed fish fillet! But the shepherd's purse fish soup and fried rice noodles are homey and filling! Truly a mom and pop shop! read more

Heard about this place from a friend and they highly recommended the scallion thick bread. It was indeed very thick and had lots of layers. We would have preferred the layers to be cooked just a minute longer but it was still good. The portion for the fish was smaller than other places that charge about the same price. Service was good. Not much decor in the restaurant but we always like to support small mom and pop shops. Street parking is available. read more

MUST TRY! This is restaurant is a gem. The restaurant is clean, waitresses are nice, and the food is excellent (at least the ones I ordered today). 1. Signature green onion pie/pancake with sesame: OMG, it is SOOOOO good. The outside is crispy and full of sesame taste, and the inside is soft and has lots of green onions. Why? Because it is freshly made, and came out piping hot. Oh yeah, and it smelled heavenly! 2. Signature bean cured: It is a tasty dish. I ate it with the green onion pie with sesame but I think it will go really well with white rice. 3. Fried fish filet: It was crispy and yummy. This is a must try restaurant in my book. I will definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

Finally found another Taiwanese place I would definitely go back! This place is easy to miss, so make sure to keep an eye out for their sign and their pig statue outside. We ordered their hot and sour soup, not sour at all but they have vinegar in their condiments set. As a Hot n Sour connoisseur, I love their version. We also ordered the house special beancurd and the three cup kitchen. All their dishes look well made, ingredients are finely sliced and the flavors are on point. Nothing we ordered were too salty. We also had to wait for about 15mins for lunch on a Wednesday. The ambiance is definitely homely, the inside of the restaurant is simple and clean. Their prices are pretty high, but as I mentioned, they don't do short cuts on their cooking. I can't wait to try their other dishes! read more

I love food. But what really gets my thirst for something exotic is a diverse menu of dishes. Ahgoo does a fantastic job at that, having pig intestines, sesame bread, 3 cup dishes, and pretty much all of my childhood favorites. Unfortunately, it did deliver. Childhood dreams not fulfilled today, but I will tell you what happened. Had this place bookmarked for years. As a former resident of the SGV, I venture out this way on the weekends to support local. One Saturday in Dec 2021, I decided just to come here and order to go. But because I knew in advance of the language barrier, I thought I would order in person. When you come here, this place has a this simplicity to it. There is really not much to look at, no walls with art or menu and it just feels like a big dining room mostly with circular tables. But we're not here about the decor, I really wanted to order since I knew it would take a bit of time. After chasing down the auntie in the room before the kitchen, I broke out my Mandarin to order. 5 dishes and about $80 something dollar later, I was told it would be 55 minutes. Not a problem, I went to get boba down the street in Alhambra. But when I came back an hour later, the food was still not ready, I'm sure it was because of the sesame bread because it was the last item out and into my bag. Speaking of which, that first bite of the bread was delicious. I didn't want the bread to lose the crunch integrity since i was driving home to Orange County. But when I bit into it, a burst of oil was soaked around the interior of the bread. As it turned out, after trying the bread a day later, it was confirmed that it was either too much oil or just under-cooked. The bread wasn't fluffy on the inside like I am used to. The seaweed fish was just dry, you'll have better experience at Mama Lu's 501 Garvey location. Their salt and pepper pork chop was the best dish we got here, nothing was super fatty that you usually would get at other Chinese takeouts. And apparently, there must've been some slight miscommunication because the soup I got was not the one I thought. BTW, if you order soup to-go, it only comes in one size, the larger size. Not sure if these new owners are just plain busy, or not getting enough help. I do think lots of these issues I've experienced could be resolved perhaps with a couple more kitchen workers. Perhaps I will be back as a first customer one day and dine inside. That way, I can get my food the way it should be hopefully. read more

Delicious! I've been wanting to try this forever! Finally made it with my bf. Seaweed fish was super crispy, savory umami flavor. Green onion sesame pie took forever to be made and served but that's how you know super fresh! Crispy exterior with soft fluffy layers filled with green onions. Bamboo with pork very comforting home cooking kind of dish. The tables are kind of awkwardly placed in the room and has zero ambiance. The awkward silence of people murmuring in the table adjacent to us... because there is no music in the background Would come get back for fish! read more

This location had been occupied by one of those ancient American Chinese diners called Ye Loy for a long time. Whenever I used to drive by this place it would conjure up the image of brown sauce covered egg foo young and "chow mein" made with deep fried dough sticks (not to be confused with deep fried noodles) and bean sprouts. That's why I've never stopped in since Ahgoo's Kitchen opened up until I read about it on Eater LA. I'm really glad I finally gave this place a try. I think Ahgoo means uncle in Taiwanese so this is the uncle's kitchen and arguably one of most authentic Taiwanese diner I've been to in years. One of their most popular items is the green onion sesame pie and for good reasons. It's filled with lots of diced scallion inside the layers of fluffy dough. The sesame crust has a nice crunch to it, too. The fish fillet with bean sauce looked spicy but it's not really. In comparison to Szechuan cuisine Taiwanese cuisine is rather mild so the "spicy" dishes are generally fairly mild, which serves me perfectly. The fish is flavored with a little fermented black bean paste and a lot of fermented rice and garlic. It was my favorite out of the dishes I ordered. The assorted simmered combo is a mixture of sliced braised meats like beef shank, honeycomb tripe, tendon, dried tofu, and pig's ear tossed in a mild Szechuan peppercorn chili sauce. The level of saltiness and spiciness was just perfect. The Satay bbq beef with water spinach (aka ong choy) reminded me of the ones served at one of the night markets in Taiwan. The bottom line: everything I ordered was very authentic and tasty. I'll be going back to try other dishes. read more

If there's a 3.5 star rating I would place this restaurant with that rating. I must admit the food is quite tasty and the beef roll was one of the best I've eaten in the SGV and L.A. area. Here's my take on the whole dining experience, food service was slow, took about 20 minutes to get our food ordered and each dish came sparingly about 15-30 minutes apart. So basically you're getting full by drinking their tea and just finish eating one dish at a time when it get served. Besides the service, the green beans were delicious, perfect deep flavors and a bit chewy in a good way. The house green onion bread was a pillowy dream, I wish there were some kind of curry like dish to soak up the doughy deliciousness. The house special 3 cup intestine, squid, and chicken was complex and full of flavor. The ultimate star in our dining experience was the beef roll. The beef was perfectly tender, the sesame wrap was chewy and crunchy on the same note. It all gets infused with the cilantro, green onions, and plum sauce. I'm still savoring that perfect harmony of these flavors. What the restaurant needs to work on is definitely the waiting service, menu descriptions of each dish, and perhaps some better photos of the food since the menu options are limited. I would say the food is good and worth a shot to try, but bare with the food coming out slow and the slow service. read more

try it? ? Originally, their sesame flatbread and sesame crepes were very delicious, but today I am very very very disappointed! It was supposed to be pan fry, dry freight until it is totally done with a Crispy charred out site as soft inside texture! But today it is deep fried with dirty oil so the color was pretty coffee dark and very oily! Moss fish pieces are deep fried too much! Wisternoff fresh oil and totally overcooked dark color, hard and DRY! The salted egg yolk pumpkin slices was a total disaster! Limp, don't hold the texture! Just look at the degree of frying on the surface, some are cooked, some are raw, some are black, and some are light! No good flavor nor good smell of salted egg yolk! Only the dried shredded Bean curd and pork is up to the standard ! This is a restaurant where you won't want to come back again! Not tooo expensive! But Comparing the price you pay and the quality of the food, it is too expensive! My critic - big disappointment! ! read more

Large portions and tasty food are some The beef rolls and green onion sesame pie are so fluffy and soft. The beef rolls are filled with tender beef and its share of cilantro.

Ahgoo's Kitchen closed down in El Monte a while back and I was saddened by it because it had the best green onion sesame "pie" (芝麻大餅) with out having to travel far for it. I drove by the other day and saw the sign go up in this location. Not sure if they relocated but their menu looks the same as the one in El Monte. Tried it today and boy am I glad I did! The green onion sesame pie is not so much of a pie we think of. There's no meat or hidden gem inside. This as you see you- green onion in layers of fluffy salted dough. The best part is the outside is crunchy with sesame sprinkled all over it. To accompany the green onion sesame pie, I ordered the stir fry squid and lamb. Both dishes were flagrant and moist. Also got the salt and peppered fried seaweed fillet. I usually put more white pepper over this place at other locations but this place it's good as it is. I also got the beef roll. I really try to cut back on the carbs but when at ahgoo's kitchen, you just got to go all in! They take phone orders and if you don't speak mandarin. It's easiest to order by the number of each dish listed in the menu pictures I've posted. The order took about 40 minutes and waited about 10 more minutes when I got there. I don't mind it because the lady was super nice and even gave me a hot fresh batch of the pie. Crunchy fluffy salted flag aren't green onion goodness! Try it out! read more

Food: Ordered the fried string beans (#30), green onion sesame pie (#43), fish fillet with bean paste (#52). The fried string beans had a lot of flavor with the pork bits but a bit salty for my taste. Would be great on top of rice. Green onion sesame pie was like what all other reviews say.. Crisp on the outside and soft in the inside. I could taste the green onions pretty well throughout the bread! The fish fillet was also flavorful. Definitely has a small kick to it, but not too spicy which I liked. Portions are also ginormous and everything was fresh! If you want someone to taste really home-y style food that reminds them of China/Taiwan, definitely order from here! I ordered for my dad and grandma, and they both liked the green onion sesame pie a lot! I definitely want to try the beef wrap (#45), water spinach (#27), seaweed fish fillet (#51) next time! Parking: Easy to park on Las Tunas out in front of the store. Advice/Comments: ・Only 2 staff in the store so be patient! (chef cooking and lady doing all the customer service) ・The lady does not speak English.. Luckily, Saturday Chinese school helped me so I could say which number dish I wanted in Chinese and point at the item at the store. If you can't speak Mandarin, you should go with a friend who can speak basic Mandarin, or go to the store so you can point at the menu. When speaking to her in Chinese, she was really sweet! ・May need to call a couple times because people are constantly calling in. ・Will have to wait at least 30 minutes to get food. That's what the lady was telling everyone. read more

There were so many recommendations, we could not pass getting take out from here. As a vegetarian, I ordered a green onion cake and an order of vegetarian dumplings. They also had different side dishes like potato shreds that could be ordered. I absolutely LOVED the green onion pancake. It was so fluffy and thick and full of flavor. It is worth the price. The vege dumplings were delicious as well and filled with I believe shepherd's purse and vermicelli. They gave a side of black vinegar and crunchy hot sauce. The hot sauce has a slight ma la flavor to it which was sooo good. Take out was at a table at the front door. No sit in available yet, and cash! There is a bell to ring if no one is there. read more

Went for dinner on a Thursday. It's a small shop, literally run by a husband and wife duo, serving around 8 tables plus to go orders. So, service is what it is. But the food is so good! It's a little pricy, but it's really quality food and hand made! Imagine if you could make this at home, you wouldn't skimp on the fresh fish or the beef or anything yummy, right? Well, they don't either, so it's worth the price and the wait. We loved the Shepard's purse fish soup with plenty of fish, the freshly made sesame green onion bread, the seaweed fish with just light batter,and the beef roll with plenty of sauce, cilantro, and beef and the wrap was freshly made. We also got the three cup chicken, which my dad said was very authentic, but my mom complained about the tiny crushed bones in the dish, and the salt and pepper ribs were ok. Because it's just the husband and wife duo, do expect a long meal if it's busy. Overall, it was delicious, worth the long wait, and we'll be back! read more

First time visiting Ahgoo's Kitchen in their new location. Felt the need to update my review because they no longer make 2 of 3 killer things that I LOVED (no beef noodle soup or the fish dumplings!!) So, that kind of threw me for a loop so I ended up ordering a hodgepodge of dishes. I still think Ahgoo's deserves a 4 even though the menu has changed. We ordered: *A-Cai: No complaints here on a A-Cai -- one of my favorite veggies. Not too oily at all & I thought it was a really big portion. *Taiwanese Fried Noodle: There's nothing special about this dish but it reminds me of Taiwanese street food with the cabbage, carrots and shrooms and lots of white pepper! I have a soft spot in my belly for yellow round noods like these. Not a must order but definitely a crow d favorite. *Seafood Pork Dumplings: Although I was bummed they didn't have the fish version, this seafood pork one was just as tasty! The dumpling skin was clearly handmade but really refined and thin. Impressive! *Steamed Brisket: This was on the Chef's Special White Board and it was a last minute add. It was actually really tasty. The brisket tasted just like really tender, flavorful like the beef in beef noodle soup! Loved the light broth and addition of ginger. *Pan Fried Scallion Pancake: Full transparency that there's a special connection for me with fluffy scallion pancakes like this. My grandmother used to make this all the time growing up & Ahgoo's version is amazing/reminiscent of her version. I get that this carbo-heavy version isn't for everyone BUT if you're up for something fluffy, delicious, and different, then try it! read more

We ordered dinner for takeout from Ahgoo's because who can resist the appeal of the fat scallion sesame bread? The bread is great, a mixture of fluffy, crispy on the bottom, layers, with good scallion flavor. I don't speak Mandarin and their English is limited so perhaps it was a matter of miscommunication, but the entrees are just okay. The standout for me was the shredded pork with bamboo shoots. The flavor of the sauce was really subtle and delicious and I liked that they used fresh bamboo. The other 2 dishes were kind of meh. On an online menu, the salt and pepper pork chops were supposed to be seasoned with salted egg yolk but I didn't notice this at all. The sauteed shrimp was supposed to have a signature red hued sauce, but ours were colorless. read more

When I saw the beef rolls and onion pancake I know I had to order from this place. The pancake and beef rolls are the best one I had so far. The outside is crispy and the inside is filled with onions and the beef roll is filled with sliced tender beef. The seaweed fish filet was also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. We also got the steamed fish with tofu; this dish was too oily for my taste. The three cup squid was also very flavorful and is perfect with the onion pancake.

Been here a twice now and both times, I'd have to say I'm impressed! This review is for both visits and both times the taste have been consistent. The storefront is facing Las Tunas, a very busy street and if you're driving too fast it can be easily missed. The first time, I went in person to order and it took up to 40 minutes and the second time I decided to call in my order and pick up. PARKING: There is free street parking right up front and there is parking in the residential streets behind or across the street. FOOD: The food is authentic and taste very homey. What I noticed very quickly and love most is that for Chinese/ Taiwanese food from Aghoo's Kitchen is that it is not overly oily at all. There are so many times, I go eat Chinese food and the meal sits very heavy in my stomach for hours. Most of the to go portions are pretty big which means I have leftovers the next day and I look forward to it the follow day. Dry Fried String Beans- Tried this at many restaurants but not all can get it right! The string bean have minced pork and preserved veggies and most importantly the string beans have a crunch to each bite. Seaweed Fish Filet- The batter is light, thin, and mixed with a good amount of thin seaweed. Other places I've tried taste like a mouthful of batter or is doughy. The fish filet to batter combination is just right. Hot Tip, to reheat leftovers use a toaster oven so the taste is still crispy! Fried Pumpkin with Salted Egg Yolk- Interesting dish and was very curious about it. Tried it and really liked the taste. The salted Egg Yolks flavor was cooked in and lightly topped. The salted egg yolk taste is subtle. I would say the amount of to go on this one was smaller compare to the other dishes- a little disappointed and most likely won't order again. Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs- The pork ribs were fried and on the smaller side. I ordered this thinking this would be more steamed like dim sum. There is nothing special about this dish. I would pass on this and try something else next time. The Beef Wrap is double rolled and packed generously. The wrap is not too oily. Signature Green Onion Sesame Pie- A very good amount. The bite is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. This is a great compliment to a dish with sauce or soup which you can dip in and balance out the taste. PRICE: Compare to other Chinese restaurants, the price is on the slightly higher end. Both visits, my bill was around $50-$55 for 4 dishes. I'd say for the delicious taste, the portion for most of the dishes, the not overly greasy dishes, and the not making me feel sick after I eat is worth it! TOP DISHES TO TRY: Beef Roll, Signature Green Onion Sesame Pie, String Beans, and Seaweed Fish! Friendly service, tasty food, and nice staff I look forward to going back! read more

The food is way too oily. I was also given a simmered combination when I ordered a seafood combination.

I am not Taiwanese so I can't say how "authentic" this place is, but the food sure tastes good! They are famous for their green onion pie, which is basically Chinese focaccia bread! You must order as soon as you sit down. I have tried many of their other dishes, and my favorites are "assorted simmered combination" which is a mix of tofu, pig's ears, cured beef etc in spicy oil, and the fish filet in bean sauce, which is fish in a thick sauce that's kinda reminiscent of mapo tofu but it's less spicy. They are really, really delicious! The decor is sparse and the lady speaks very minimal English, but are these hallmark signs of a good immigrant place? :D Come and be a little adventurous, or check photos on here first. You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been here twice now and everything feels homemade like a auntie made it! The seaweed fried fish was not as fluffy as some places but tasted good and fish was fresh! Nice and crispy, but I made sure to leave the bag open to get while I drove home! Hot and sour soup was so good! It's full of pork, tofu, LILY bulbs!, bamboo, black fungus and egg. Almost like homemade! Loved it. On Choy beef satay was good but so many stems! Aghhhh. But on Choy does have a lot of stems? I duno, I will pass and get A-Tsai next time. The rice as $1 and filled the small container, I think enough for 2 people. The BEEF ROLL THO! Wow! So crispy, the bread is flavorful; the meats all shredded and the veggies too throughout for a balanced bite. Covid sucks, this place is good - giving it 5 stars! Can't wait to eat in one day. read more

Green onion cake is the best. No one even comes close to it. Other dishes were great as well.

Ahgoo's is where the old Ye Loy used to be on Las Tunas. Disclosure that I never been to the old one in El Monte, so it's my first time going to this place. Came during lunch time and was not crowded. Ordered the pork with bean curd(signature), green onion pancake(signature), and three cup combo. Price is PRICEY! More on that later. Let's start with bean curd and pork. Tastes aiight, but is super oily and the portion of pork and bean curd is not very well balanced. The bean curds were cut extremely well and soaked up the sauce(which gives it the flavor), but there was not enough (if any at all) pork to balance out the oiliness of the bean curd. In a lot of the northern Chinese restaurants they make this dish and those tastes much better in my opinion(and much cheaper!) Three cups combination came out next. Also very oily and the combination ingredients( intestines, chicken, and squid) were not very well prepared. The squid was overly cooked, while the chicken was under cooked because the chicken pieces were much bigger than the squids. The intestines were not cleaned thoroughly. I have been to many, many Taiwanese places that makes these much better(one of them is a beer house! And it is much cheaper!) The star of the show came out last, like 30 mins later last. I had high hopes for the green onion pancakes, but in my opinion it failed to deliver. Three reasons. One, the rising of the dough requires more caring. I could taste the baking soda while eating the pancake. But, the sesame and onion did balance it out a bit. Two, these are meant to supplement, like rice. Meaning that they have to go with something (like another dish or soup, because the pancakes don't have much flavors by themselves). If they come out last, then what do you eat it with??? It's like serving rice after all the dishes have been served and eaten..... And the most important thing(to me, at least) was the price. 3 dishes for 55 bucks?! I mean for that size? Yeah the pancake's portion was okay, but others were just regular size and tastes bleh. I failed to see the justification of charging exorbitant amount of moolah for something that offers no premium( in my opinion). For Taiwanese food, there are much better places that offers much more affordable menus in my opinion. But hey, we live the hype. Try the pancakes. This place is too rich for me. read more
