We refer to this place as the THICC SCALLION BREAD place. They have a specialty bread that's got a nice pan-fried sesame crust and tons of green onions that is hard to find nowadays. They also make a great red yeasted pork belly and spinach fried fish that many places don't make anymore. We often get take out here, just be sure to call in. read more

Ahgoo's Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Temple City, California

My family has been ordering from here recently after seeing it highlighted on multiple platforms! I will say the flavor of the food is an A+. The cost is a bit high, however you get some amazing tasting food. Our go-to is the green onion pancake and the beef roll. Can't go wrong with either! 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

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

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

A little mom and pop restaurant that we love getting take out from! Never really dined in here but this is a repeat for to go. They are most famous for their green onion pancake. Definitely recommend if you are looking for some yummy Chinese food. read more

I come for one thing only - the delicious thick green onion sesame pancake. I call it in about 15 mins prior to pick up and it is piping hot, ready to go in a nice to go box. It rarely survives much of the drive home with the fam. Crunchy on the outside, nice texture chewy on the inside. They have a great setup in front, a table to take your order or give you your pickup. We've come a few times in the pandemic, and have bought multiples to make the trip worth it from the west side. They freeze well and heat up well if you have a nice convection or table top toaster/oven!! read more

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

So gooood..... Best green onion pie ever in LA area ! Crispy and loaded with green onions! Many other restaurants not offering extra green onions even if you pay for it. Eggplant very delicious and hot (熱炒)！ highly recommend! I love their hot and sour soup too! Parking in rear and can walk in from back door or park in the front curb side. read more

Ahgoo's Kitchen - signature green onion sesame pie, hot and sour soup, and house special bean curd - Chinese Near Me - Temple City, California

Nice family restaurant with home style food. Staff are very friendly. Definitely one of the best beef rolls around. We also like their Taiwanese fried noodle and Westlake soup. The green onion sesame pie is also good - very much like focaccia. I'm looking forward to working our way through the menu. read more

Why is the sesame green onion pie $12.95!? Did you look at the photos!! They are massive and delicious!! Crispy on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside. These things come out piping hot out of the kitchen so they will still be fresh and hot by the time you get them home if you live close by. Get your chili oil ready and start salivating because its going to make your stomach rumble as soon as you pick them up smell the intoxicating aroma of freshly made onion pie's. read more

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

Delicious and authentic Taiwanese food! Highly recommend their hot and sour soup. It tastes just like the ones in Taiwan. They are flexible in making dishes to be vegetarian too. Highly recommend. read more

The food was delicious. Everything that we order was very flavorful, but not too salty or greasy. Service was fast and friendly. This is a small restaurant and got packed quick right when it open at 11. So my advice to you is either go right when it open to avoid any wait. There are people that actually have made reservation for this place. Food comes out steamy hot so you know it's freshly made to order. I will definitely come back again to try other stuff I didn't get to order this time around. Oh, one last thing the serving was pretty big for the price of they charge. read more

I've relied on Yelp for quite some time now in helping me determine places to eat at. And to be honest, the ratings for restaurants have almost always been accurate. But, this place is one of the few I completely disagree with the rating. 3.5 stars?! I was first introduced to Ahgoo's Kitchen by my family, and by now I've visited more times than I can remember. We first started coming when they were at their old location and throughout the years, the food quality has remained the same. I order the same dishes every time I'm here. I MUST, and will repeat, MUST order the Beef Rolls. Other must tries are: Green Onion Sesame Pancake, Fish Filet with bean sauce and the Green Beans w/ Pork and Garlic. The Beef Rolls are the best I've had A N Y W H E R E and I've tried it at plenty of restaurants. I've told many people that there are only 2 times that I've truly had the talked-about "FoodGasm" - firstly, when I had Ichiran Ramen in Japan, and the second time: biting into Ahgoo's Kitchen's Beef Roll (one thing to note: when they are busy, they do not make the beef roll since it takes so long to prepare). The other dishes I mentioned are all amazing as well. I don't think you can go wrong with any dish here. Prices are definitely on the higher end compared to your traditional asian restaurant. The entire meals that I mentioned here (4 dishes) was $60 after tax and tips. But with all these positive notes, there is still one major flaw: the wait times. If you visit during peak hours, you will be waiting for 45+ minutes just to get one dish. Even with the long wait times, I continue to and will continue to come back often. This place is a MUST try! read more

Ahgoo's Kitchen is a Taiwanese / Northern Chinese restaurant (think 101 Noodle Express / Luscious Dumplings) located in a strip mall. I still don't know why my friends picked this place (I have a feeling my friends read an article about this restaurant from the LA Weekly - http://www.laweekly.com/restaurants/massive-green-onion-pancakes-and-one-of-the-best-beef-noodle-soups-in-la-at-ahgoos-kitchen-5495340), but hey I couldn't say no when I learned that this place has beef noodle soup (in fact it is one of the ONLY two noodle options - the other noodle option is fried rice noodle). Other items include dumplings and various Taiwanese / Northern Chinese cold dishes. The service isn't exactly efficient, but each table comes with complimentary bean sprouts pickled daikon. *** Pan Fried Sesame Green Onion Cake ($9.95): One of their signature dishes. Personally it was one of the better green onion cakes that I have had (not to mention the huge portion) - crusty on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Typically green onion cakes don't have too much flavors, but that's just how these green onion cakes taste like. Beef Stew with Home Made Noodle ($8.95): This is another one of their signature dishes. Flavorful but slightly watery broth. Good chewy noodle and excellent beef tendon. I like Sinbala's beef noodle soup because it had a slightly stronger flavor, but overall Ahgoo's Kitchen beef noodle soup is one of the better versions that you will find in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley). Pork and Napa Dumplings (10 pieces, $8.95): These steamed dumplings weren't too shabby. *** This mom-and-pop restaurant has pretty decent food and I would recommend this restaurant if you are a fan of 101 Noodle Express or Luscious Dumplings. read more

I've been wanting to try Ahgoo's for awhile, but I haven't been able to since they have odd hours and were closed for a really long holiday. On my third try, I finally was able to try Ahgoo's food. The restaurant is pretty tiny - only a few small tables (maybe 6-8), and the food takes awhile to come out of the kitchen. We were lucky enough to get a table right before the lunch crowd came in - since everybody had just gotten seated and was waiting for the food, they had to wait by the door and on random chairs before some tables opened up. They're located in a very small plaza on Valley Blvd. It's very easy to miss if you drive too fast. The lights were all turned off when we went - probably to keep it feeling cool since it was incredibly hot that day. They only have a limited selection of items on their menu, one of which is their famous beef noodle soup. Unfortunately, they had run out of this item that day. I guess they make enough to last them several days, and since they aren't open on Mondays and Tuesdays, they don't make more once they run out. This was pretty much the only item I was looking forward to trying, so I was already disappointed after hearing that news. Pan fried sesame green onion cake - $9.95 For ten bucks, I expected to be wowed by their green onion cake. People all over Yelp mention that this is one of their best items, so I had really high expectations. Don't think I'm a fan of their green onion cake - I prefer the thin, crispy kind at Mama Lu's over this soft, fluffy and pretty much tasteless onion cake. It takes awhile to cook, and I can definitely appreciate the amount of work that goes into preparing this dish, but it just wasn't the dish for me. There were 8 pieces of the cake, with the top and bottom having that crispy pan-fried texture with a good amount of sesame sprinkled on. The inside was soft and fluffy with a ton of green onion mixed in. But even with all that green onion, I found myself having to dip it into vinegar to get some taste. Don't think I'd order this again. Beef roll - $8.95 Their beef roll is pretty tasty. There are six slices of the roll; again, the top and bottom layer is crispy with sesame. Some restaurants have a ton of cilantro and barbeque sauce slathered into their beef rolls, but I actually appreciated the amount of ingredients (and the ratio of everything) inside of Ahgoo's beef rolls. Good amount of cilantro, some green onion, and a good amount of meat (which had good taste and flavor. I also liked that the crispiness of the roll was folded into the beef roll itself, giving an overall nice crunch when I bit into the roll. I would recommend ordering this dish. Pork and napa dumpling (ten pieces) - $8.95 Meh, I'm not a big dumpling fan, but I didn't really like the taste of their dumplings. The inside was a bit too salty for me, making it hard to enjoy the dumpling. I did like the thickness of the dumpling skin, but overall - not a dish I'd order. I like that this place comes with complimentary appetizers of some beansprouts and pickled cabbage. We actually waited for our food for over thirty minutes, which is kinda unreasonable considering the amount of people they have waiting in line. I think they need to rethink their food making concept because it seems like they cook orders based on when the orders are received in the kitchen. But honestly, if two tables are eating dumplings, why not make two orders at once? Saves time and money! This place is also cash only. Saw two women order a bunch of dishes and end up eating only a portion of the soup and a very tiny portion of some fried noodle dish. Made me wonder if it was that bad that they didn't even ask for a to-go box to take home the leftovers! tl;dr - A bit disappointed by Ahgoo's considering I had very high expectations. Really sad I didn't get to try their beef noodle soup, but I was able to try their popular pan fried sesame green onion cake (which was disappointing). Probably won't come back on a weekend and aim for a Wednesday or Thursday to ensure that they still have beef noodle soup in stock. read more

Love Ahgoo's! They are in a small run down plaza so don't judge the restaurant by its facade! Order the fat green onion pancake right when you get in because it takes longer to make than their other dishes. It is also their most famous dish and I believe they have a couple of articles written about it :). We ordered, of course, the green onion pancake (A MUST TRY--every table had at least one order of it so that says something), fish dumplings, fried pumpkin with salty egg yolk, minced fish soup, sauté shrimp (my favorite), and their shredded pork with bean curd. Everything was absolutely amazing: perfectly seasoned and hot from the stove. They also give you two complimentary small dishes in the beginning so the wait for your main dishes seems very short. Service is a little slow--you have to remind them once or twice to bring the check but they are very busy. Keep in mind they take a break from 2 PM to 5 PM so if you don't want to wait in a crowd for dinner, be there at 5! Amazing food so definitely worth a try! read more

We had a craving for Ahgoo's signature Green Onion Sesame pie! However, we worried about losing the fluffiness and freshness of the pie after the long drive home with the takeout. As it turned out, the pies tasted as good as ordering and eating in the restaurant. We ordered two green onion sesame pies (very fluffy, soft, tasty, fulfilling, and moist dough), beef wrap (crisp, ample beef), sesame thin pizza (a bit oily but tasty), and Taiwanese fried rice noodle (love the noodle!). However, there were challenges with the takeout! When we called and put in the order for the two pies, we were told that they would be made fresh and take at least 45 minutes. Since they closed between 3 pm and 5 pm, we had to time carefully when to order and when to pick up for the lunch or dinner. But the wait was well worth it! The lady was very nice and polite and should not be criticized for her language. After all, she is operating a small business during this pandemic. Thumbs up! One additional note: Cash only! read more

The wait is not worthy!!! I only went there because my mom wanted to have the stirred fried vermicelli and the green onion bread. Ordered our dishes about 6:00pm, the green onion bread arrived in 25 minutes and then nothing. Waited for another 30 minutes before our 3 dishes made it to our table; 4th dish never came. We're out of there by 7:45pm. Never wanted to come back again. The price was on the high side, portion was small and tasted too salty. Not to mention the service was nonexistent. They really deserve a one star for the green onion bread. read more

Expect a long wait for food to be prepared regardless of dine in or take out. I always end up waiting for an additional 30 minutes when they told me the food will be ready for pick up. Never fail.) The experience is the same even whether they just opened for the day (11:30am) or early evening (5:30-6pm.) We were there recently and arrived at 5:30 pm for early dinner. After ordering a bunch of dishes, the server told us there is only one bowl of white rice left for the entire evening. We wouldn't be as upset if the server was honest and upfront before we started ordering. Come on, which Chinese restaurant ran out of rice at 5:30pm?! read more

I will recommend people who want authentic Taiwanese food and have a lot of time. I called this place @11 and they told me about 20 minutes to pick up. I went there around 11:30 and they still missing dishes. I don't know how busy they were (only 4 ppl dine in at that time) but I still waited another 5-10 minutes. I have to say the food is good but be patient if you are eating there. read more

My mom and I came in around 6:20 PM today. No need to wait. We ordered Stir-fry water celery (炒空心菜), stewed chicken with ginger and wine in casserole (三杯雞), and green onion sesame pie (蔥花芝麻大餅). Stir-fry water celery: average, nothing special. Stewed chicken with ginger and wine: the chicken is too dry, no flavor Green onion sesame pie: no flavor, even though they put a lot of green onion, I didn't taste green onion flavor at all If you have many time to waste, you can come and try. We wait more than 20 mins for our first dish-stir-fry water celery come out. We wait another 20 mins for the pie. My mom said she saw it is busy and always long line to wait. Now we know why, not because the foods are delicious, but the foods come out too slow. Not recommended and will not come back read more

Definitely coming back soon (: read more

This place is new to temple city. Apparently it was in El Monte before, but I have never been to that location. Anyways, ok.. so the wait time is pretty long. Me and my friend waited to be seated for like 20mins ish since it was busy, which is kinda ok lol. This place is good for parties of two to four people. There's only three big tables that can have big parties which is understandable since it's a small place. I just gotta say I give huge props to the two workers. Customers were throwing questions and orders at them left and right and they kept their cool. I would of been like "gurl you can wait a sec". But they were fast despite it being busy. The only problem was that customers orders kept flowing so that lead the kitchen to be slow. It took maybe 20 mins for one dish out of three to come out. Me and my friend are patient so that wasn't that bad... I guess lol. The total amount of time that we had to wait was an hour for everything to come out. That's pretty slow but once again there's only two workers and a bunch of customers. So understandable. Anyways onto the food!!! :3 So they're known for their green onion pancake (which they call pie for some reason lol). Every table had that ordered, which is nice because you don't really see that at other restaurants. We also ordered braised tofu, which is bomb af!! Reminds me of my best friends aunts cooking. Sooo good. Another dish we ordered was uh. Beef(?) I don't remember lmao. Overall the food was so good. When you arrive please write down your name on the white board by the entrance. It was a little confusing for the workers to know who was first and such. It's best to enter from the las tunas side. I mean you can enter through the back but there is a white board to write your name down lol. Overall I will come back.. just gotta keep the wait time in mind lmao read more

Pretty good Taiwanese / Mandarin style fare. Place is small and one waitress so service can be a bit slow when busy. Their beef noodle soup is good and a little spicy. Their dumplings were decent and their beef roll is really good. Their beef roll is made with a similar dough as their green onion pancake which is also very good. The green onion pancake is fluffier than other places and really good. Definitely coming back. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough! An unassuming and easy place to miss on Las Tunas. I ordered take out a few times by calling my order in and everything I've ordered so far is stellar. I usually get the thick scallion pancake, spicy fish filet, "3 cups" squid and the sautéed bamboo. I brought it to my parents house last time and they approved too (always hard to impress my dad when it comes to food because he always says he can make it better at home). When you arrive to pick up, street parking right in front of the restaurant is easy. There's a little table set up right when you enter and you can ring the bell on the table. The lady there is usually running around answering the phone and packing up to go orders in the back. Dinner for 4 usually falls right around $45 to $55. Will definitely be back. read more

Some people get their mid-life crisis early and I happened to be one of them. 2014 was a really rough year for me and I lost interest in so many things that once had significant value to me. I was walking in a fog and didn't exactly know what I wanted anymore. I struggled to write reviews (blaming it on a lack of inspiration). I struggled physically with a serious back injury that limited my ability to enjoy anything outdoors. I struggled with just about everything except this bloody tongue and stomach that DEMANDED attention regardless of excuses - valid or pathetic - to be sated. I was in deep mental fog when I first entered this establishment. An emotional wreck would be an understatement but a close friend and mentor chose to do another good deed - one of his endless list - by feeding me and talking to me. He did what a good father figure would do by making a GOOD meal available while saying the right things to encourage one to step out of the bloody fog. I barely remember his words - nor his wife's words. I do remember, however, the impression I had with the food here. Here's the thing: I always have found Taiwanese food to be absolutely BORING, ill-prepared, and something I rather skip than deal with. But here's the SECOND thing: I totally felt the completely opposite way while and after dining HERE and can't wait to visit LA again to eat here! You can taste the amount of dedication in the food. You can sense the devotion in each dish. You become aware that whoever the chef is preparing all these dishes care what his customer eats. And if you know my boss, who is Taiwanese, who is VERY hard to impress with food, and who is suddenly very fond of this little hole in the wall, the chef/owner must be doing something completely RIGHT. I won't discuss the food in depth. I'll just point out that it left me longing to return. I'll just mention that I ate more than I usually eat, which should say a lot. I'll even point out that they are the REAL reason I started writing Yelp reviews again. They are my new inspiration. SIDE STORY: We spoke with the chef/owner. We commended his ability to cook and to prepare and asked to know more about him and his background. It was a really good conversation but what sparked it all was when he shared the old philosophy of hard work and the American dream. He came with nothing but two hands that he believed in. He shared his endless hours (with 2 days in the week closed just to prep some of the other ingredients) alone working away in the kitchen (by the way, he alone prepped and cooked for more than 40 dishes in the 1 hour span I was there). He believes in hard work and you can see it in his forearms - completely *ripped*. He inspires me. People like him and small businesses like these are the real reason I pick up the pen (in this case, I type). 15/02LR read more

First time try out this Place, we went around 6pm and there's some other dining customers already. Only one waitress took care of the floor and she's very courtesy. 2 of our orders came out pretty quick and the pan fried noodles took a bit longer than usual, the waitress did apologize the delay. Foods are delicious, they don't have many items on the menu but seems like I like most of them. Definitely I will come back after for other dishes. Good place read more

You HAVE TO get the green onion pancakes. They are my number 1 spot for them because they are EXTREMELY crispy and moist in the middle. If you may not like chinese food, the green onion pancakes are something that you have to try!!

Cash only... The food here is really good, but I had to take off one star because we came during the middle of lunch hours 12:00 - 1:00 and ordered some dumplings and pot stickers and they said that there would be a 40 minute wait, because they were still making them. I'm not really sure what the hold up was, but there was only one other table occupied in the whole establishment. If I go back and have a better dining experience, I will bump up the rating on Yelp for this place. The fish soup was delicious and was made even better with a dash of white pepper. The seaweed fried fish was a bit bland, but once you dipped it in the sweet and sour sauce that it came with it was good. The Taiwan style chow mein was decent, but nothing extraordinary. The fungus cold dish we ordered was pretty good. The dumplings and pot stickers are great and they obviously hand make them at the place. I just hope that they start making them in the morning when they open up, so that there isn't a long wait for them when you order them. read more

A friend of mine had posted the sesame green onion cake on instagram and I knew I had to go and try it. I have been obsessed with making my own green onion pancake after the pandemic/quarantine hite but I knew I couldn't make it on that level. Some obstacles for comning here included, lunch and dinner hours - they closed from 3-5 so I had to come here at 5. I called right when they opened to place my order (was coming from my sister's place in San Gabriel which was only 10 minutes away.) A chinese lady picked up and didn't speak a lick of English! Great, so I called back 5 minutes later and she put this guy on. So I placed my order for the sesame green onion cake, the fried seaweed fish, the pork dumplings and some string beans. He said it would take 25 minutes because of the pancakes. So I left my sister's place, got there and parked in 10 minutes. A lady was sitting outside waiting for her order. I had my dog, so I left her in the car to pay. Same lady who didn't speak English took my payment and then I waited another 20 mins for my food. Took it home and had to reheat when my BF got home. It was still pretty good - the sesame green onion cake was fluffly and delicious. As were the fried fish, string beans and pork dumplings (no Din Tai Fung or Mama Lu's). A bit challenging when they don't have English speaking workers, but I guess its tougher in a Pandemic. read more
