Such a hidden gem! Made the drive up from Irvine and it was worth every mile…read more If you come here, you HAVE to get the Beef Tongue Rice. The cuts are perfectly thick and tender, and mixing it with the runny egg is incredibly satisfying. Even better than my usual go-to spots. We also tried the Taiwanese Mini Hot Pot--the broth is mild, but their Shacha dipping sauce is super authentic and hits the spot. The Stir-fried Water Spinach had great wok hei, too. But the real plot twist was the Pineapple Bun with Butter. I normally skip these because I find them too sweet, but theirs is a game-changer. Extremely crispy on the outside with that perfect slice of cold butter melting inside. Great portions, quick service, and a very comfortable environment to just sit down and enjoy a solid meal with friends. Highly recommend!

This place was quite good. I had never been to a Hong Kong Cafe before and I thought it was very on…read morethe nose that it this place was named Hong Kong cafe. The rice and minced pork was super good. Good sweetness and texture. The chow fun was good but I think I would have preferred soy sauce option over the black bean option. The crispy noodles had a really good texture that I really liked, but I wish they were in a diff sauce. A more savory soy sauce or a more salty peanut sauce would have been great. I also like the ambiance and service was also pretty good! the food did not take that long to come out. Everything was pretty affordable and parking was really simple to find as well! Overall, I would recommend going to this place! I think most people would really enjoy it!

Sometimes we drive up from Irvine just to go to Mr Dragon Noodle House. Their pan fried buns are…read morethe best I've had in OC (my fave in the US is in Flushing NY), so that's always a dish I have to order. Their mala beef noodle soups are solid, the broth is rich and the noodles are firm enough. The restaurant has very generous portions for their appetizers. The seaweed app is a heaping mountain and the popcorn chicken always comes on a large plate. Their drinks are also big so it's great to share with the group. There's generally no wait when we go, weekdays or weekend. Otherwise we get seated pretty quickly after a small wait. Service is super quick with piping hot dishes.

Their dan dan noodles with rice noodles was savory, with that lovely peanut base sauce. Their Crab & pork xiao lou bao is super delicious. Their skin is thin and the soup inside just fills your mouth. Honestly i think it's better than Din tai fung for that alone. The beef tomato noodle was filled with thick, tender beef chunks, and the diced tomato was actually sauted with savory seasoning. You can see many locals come here to enjoy excellent quality comfort food. From Ordering to being served was a matter of minutes. Great for limited lunch break people! Very clean, simply decorated place.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Alicia makes the wintemelon tea fresh. You can taste the difference. I will be going back.

Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. Do not waste your time or money here…read more The moment we walked into Fu's Restaurant, it felt like stepping into a sauna. It was 79 degrees inside, muggy, humid, and completely uncomfortable. We almost turned around and left immediately. The place was practically empty, which honestly should have been our first red flag. We decided to give them a chance anyway. Big mistake. My colleague and I were offered water or hot tea. We both ordered hot tea. The menu clearly says in English that hot tea is $2.99. Nowhere does it clearly explain in English that you will be charged differently depending on how many people drink it. When the bill came, we were charged $5 each. Apparently, there is some clarification written in Chinese, but how are customers who do not read Chinese supposed to know that? That is completely misleading. The tea portions were not larger, not special, nothing different. Just basic tea. The pricing felt deceptive. We also ordered popcorn chicken and chili wonton soup. Both came out in tiny portions that looked like appetizers, yet the menu does not clearly label them as such. For what we received, paying over $30 total felt ridiculous. The food itself was mediocre at best. Nothing memorable and definitely not worth the price. Because of the uncomfortable temperature, confusing pricing, small portions, and average food, we chose not to leave a tip. As we were walking out, the waiter chased us outside and pressured us about the zero tip. That is completely inappropriate. Tipping is not mandatory. It is earned. Confronting customers outside over a tip is unprofessional and embarrassing. Between the heat, the questionable menu pricing, the small portions, and being confronted outside, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. We will never be back. There are plenty of better places within the same plaza than to dine here. I don't expect this place to last long anyway.

Typical mom and pop restaurant quality food, great experience, top tier service (which is rare for a Chinese restaurant) but the food tasted just alright. XLBs at the BOGO rate is a steal~ Not as good as your top tier XLB places since it can get kind of oily if you keep eating but still a solid B tier.

Don't let the surroundings deter you from not trying their authentic soups & dumplings. It's good comfort food. With only a few tables inside, dining patrons gather early in the morning for breakfast and most do takeout orders. They also carry frozen dumplings available for purchase. Prices are reasonable and the person behind the cash register is nice. Service is quick and plates are cleared right away. Get-your-own-water at the table in front. *Hearty, savory & filling pork wonton soup- 4 stars *Pan fried pork & shrimp with chives dumpling- 4 stars

Noticed most orders are to go order. Service was quite fast. It's not super crowded but they have steady customer. Mostly regular customers. Food comes in big portion and very reasonable price. Taste is not bad. No additional MSG is added. A true hidden gem.

The servers were very polite and made sure they checked on us regularly.

Was trying to find a soy milk place in RH area. This place pops out during search…read more The store is located in a shopping mall, so parking wasn't an issue. Although there was only one lady working in the front, she actually was able to run everything(taking the orders, clean the tables, packing the food and refill essentials/food) very well. On top of it, super high positive energy when greeting the customers. One of the main reasons this place reserved the 5-stars reviews. Place is clean and was label. After you placed and paid for the order, just simplely find a table, kitchen will bring the order to you, and you can start serving yourself with 4 great selection of congees (personally 八宝粥 and 小米粥 were my favorites), plus soy milk. I didn't try the side dishes this time. Surely will come back to try it out next time. They have sugar and salt on the side, so you can add according to your own taste. Neither congee nor soy was salted/sweetened, so if you prefer more flavor, definely grab a seasoning dish, and load up the sugars to your likes. They don't have cold soy milk, and don't sell fried donut(油条). That's the only complains I got. Overall, a great breakfast/lunch place.

I just discovered a Chinese restaurant located inside a strip mall at the intersection of Fullerton…read moreand Colima. They specialize in freshly steamed buns (baozi) and feature an all-you-can-eat congee bar. The lady working there speaks Mandarin; she asked if it was my first time, and I told her it was. For just $3, you get unlimited soup and congee with four different varieties to choose from. For an extra $2.50, you get unlimited refills from a selection of four cold side dishes. They also offer à la carte steamed baos, wontons, and dumplings for dine-in or takeout. I didn't have much of an appetite today, so I skipped the buns and just ordered the congee and appetizers. My bill came out to only $5.50 plus tax, which is ridiculously cheap! For the congee, the options were Century Egg & Lean Pork, Eight Treasure, Millet, and Hulatang (Spicy Pepper Soup). I tried the Century Egg & Lean Pork congee, but the texture was a bit watery, and the flavor was somewhat bland. The Hulatang (hot pepper soup) was a little too thick and jelly-like. While the Millet congee was also on the bland side, I actually really enjoyed the texture. I skipped the Eight Treasure congee this time. Honestly, at $3 for all-you-can-eat congee, it sounds too good to be true, so I didn't have high expectations for the quality. However, I really liked the cold side dishes bar! They had all my favorites, including Liángbàn Tǔdòusī (shredded potato salad), shredded wood ear mushroom salad, and spicy cucumber salad. I will definitely go back next time to try their dumplings, wontons, and baozi.

Their business hours are 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays, and they stay open until 4:00 p.m. on weekends. We ordered the Har Gow, Shiu Mai, Steamed Chicken Feet, Sesame Balls, and the Steamed Sausage & Sticky Bun. Everything was authentic, freshly prepared, and delicious. The Har Gow and Shiu Mai were notably large and high quality. My personal favorite is the Steam Sausage & Sticky Bun. It's a traditional Hong Kong dish that is becoming rare even in HK, so finding it here was a treat. This place is a true hidden gem in West Covina. The pricing starts from $5.88, and most dishes are about $5.93, and a few dishes are $6-8. They now have a Mother's Day promotion from May 1-12: Buy one, get one free on Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai or Crab Meat). P.S. You can also order it online via their website. https://www.shenghuidimsum.com/

We just tried the Tea Time Special at Delicious Food Corner in Diamond Bar yesterday. Although we…read morehave been there many times, we never had the chance to try this specific special before. When we arrived at 3 p.m., the restaurant was not packed, allowing us to hang out comfortably with friends since it wasn't busy. The Tea Time Special is available for both dine-in and takeout from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. They offer a total of eight choices, and they are all $11.95 each.The special also includes a free drink: coffee, milk tea, Chinese tea, or Iced Lemon Tea. You can also upgrade to a Frozen Red Bean Drink for an extra $1.50. It is a very good deal! The options (A-H) include: A) Hong Kong Style Wonton Noodle Soup B) Home Style Stir-Fried Silver Pin Noodles C) Fried Chicken Wings w/ Spicy Salt (3) & Pasta with Bolognese Sauce D) Mixed Fishball & Fish Paste Sliced Rice Noodle Soup E) Scallion Oil Pork Chop w/ Rice F) Stir-Fried Beef Spaghetti G) Curry Chicken w/ Roti Canai H) Coriander Minced Beef Vermicelli in Soup I chose the Home Style Stir-Fried Silver Pin Noodles first. I had tried them before for breakfast, and they tasted great, and not many places make this popular Hong Kong dish. We also ordered the Curry Chicken w/ Roti Canai and the Fried Chicken Wings w/ Spicy Salt & Pasta with Bolognese Sauce.All of our orders arrived quickly and tasted delicious. I especially loved their curry. The fried chicken wings were good, but there were only three pieces as advertised. While the pasta wasn't bad, I do wish the dish came with more chicken wings instead.I definitely want to try their other Tea Time Specials next time. The service was excellent. Our server refilled our iced lemon tea a couple of times and even gave us a to-go cup for the road.

Instead we ordered a seafood crispy noodle dish, chicken wings, and char siu pork, duck, and pork belly dishes to satisfy our Asian food cravings. My boyfriend and I both agree that the noodles were the best, followed by the chicken wings, and lastly the meat dish. I wasn't impressed by the chewy texture of the char siu. Overall, service was good, portions were decent, and pricing was on par with the rate of inflation. We got takeaway and enjoyed our leftovers for dinner. Would come back still for canto comfort food cravings.
