    I know it's not the most beautiful upkept restaurant bit it's certainly a great ma and pop place. The food is made fresh on thee spot, all there dishes are great and not heavy, because i get an upset stomach when i eat at fast food restaurants, who still does that anyway. the kun pow here is my favorite. The owner will come and chill and have a conversation while our food is being prepared. Please come by and support these good ol folks. They deserve it This is still a good chineese restaurant.

    I have been looking for a good Chinese food restaurant and I FOUND IT Food was FABULOUS I had the shrimp fried rice, black chicken bean sauce, shrimp in oyster sauce, and noodles. Perfection!! Service: it's a family style restaurant so it's small but owner was really nice and attentive. Go try this place!

    My absolute favorite other than my Mom's wonton soup.

    A small, hidden, modest gem, that deserves much attention! I have been ordering take out from this restaurant for the past couple of months and I have yet to be disappointed. Made to order. Fresh, well prepared Chinese food. From the wor wonton soup, to the fried rice, to the cream cheese wontons...everything has been so delicious and hit the spot on the dot! Service has always been friendly and efficient. Price point and portion sizes are perfect for a very hungry one or for two to happily share.

    If you search for Taiwanese food in LA/SGV, you're guaranteed to come across many glowing reviews…read morefor P.P. Pop. I'm afraid this is yet another one. I won't sugarcoat it, the wait to dine-in can be brutal. Especially in the summer. We came in for lunch on a Saturday, and ended up waiting about an hour. They use the old school method of assigning your party a number and calling it out once they have a table ready for you. Unfortunately, that means you have to stay pretty close by the door so you can hear your number being announced. There's no official waiting area or seating, so you're just kinda standing out in the sun if you came in the daytime. I'm all for old school charm, but it would be nice if they gave out buzzers or sent texts instead. That way, at the very least, you have the option to sit in your car with AC while you wait. We were there on a particularly hot day, and the staff handed out iced lemon waters while we waited, which was nice. While waiting, you're also able to fill out an ordering sheet that you hand to the staff once you're seated. We ordered the House Special Beef Noodle Soup ($15), the Spicy Braised Beef Noodle Soup ($15.50), and an Iced Milk Tea ($4). Both noodle dishes completely satisfied our cravings, and the price was perfectly reasonable. They also gave a good portion of meat, which I appreciated. The noodles had a nice bite to them and the broth itself didn't feel overly oily or heavy. The spice level was a good baseline, and nothing extreme. The milk tea was pretty standard, but not too sweet. I'd love to try some of their other most popular dishes! The interior isn't large, but also not too cramped. The staff are pretty active throughout the restaurant, but aren't too hard to flag down if you need something. Since the queue is usually long, I probably wouldn't choose this spot if you're trying to dine for an extended amount of time. However, I didn't see any of the staff trying to rush people out. Coming at an awkward time (late lunch/early dinner, or a weekday) is probably your best bet if you want to avoid the wait. If I was local to SGV, I'd make this one of my go-to spots, especially during the winter. Delicious, but beware of the wait! TikTok: @qtrinthejukebox Instagram: @qtrinthejukebox

    Wow I wish I lived closer to this restaurant because I would be coming back here as a regular…read more Everything we ordered was delicious. The standouts for me were the dandan noodles and beef roll (I just love how much cilantro there was). The dandan noodles were super peanutty. The chili oil for the spicy wontons had a very nice kick to it that left my mouth tingling. I was so stunned when the green tea came out in the giant beer glass since I had no warning. My live reaction was just pure shock. Great value for that volume of green tea, it's shareable between two people maybe even three. I wonder how many oz are in that thing!!

Like holy smokes, are the chefs on steroids back there? A salute to their efficiency and time management. Family ordered the Thai fried rice, house special fish fillet, pork chop with Peking sauce, and a tofu dish I do not know the name of. The fish fillet was most definitely running the show here. It was heavenly with every bite. My brother and I had to practically restrain ourselves from demolishing the entire plate. Another deep nod to the chef's magnificent craftsmanship. Order this for a taste of no regrets. The servers were absolutely amazing. For a typical Chinese restaurant, it is pretty standard to be served and for the most part ignored unless you needed something specific. However, the servers here were right in the middle of the horrendous lunch rush, and yet they still managed to carry out gestures that genuinely touched me- one of the waitresses waited at the door and held it open for us when my mom returned from the restroom because they could see that my mom had limited mobility. The guy serving us also made sure he was always giving her ample room to move around amidst all the chaos and commotion of the restaurant. Considering the tables and chairs are inches apart from each other too, we were pretty cramped. I asked another worker for utensils later on, and he was genuinely so sweet going about it, patient and smiling. Service here really warmed my heart, which was such a bonus. The setting was probably the most intriguing part. I am not familiar about the history of this particular location, but considering the walls in the hallway had old newspaper articles and images of the establishment from who knows how many decades ago, I would say it's teetering on the edge of being a museum in itself. Makes for a cool peek into history, but the run down building and yellowing, stained walls in the hallway might throw some people off who are looking to dine somewhere that has kept more in stride with modern times. This visit was fantastic from beginning to end, and all the small details really made everything come together into a wonderful synopsis of food, family, and a little extra kindness.

    Date: September 18, 2026…read more Selections: Filet Mignon Cube French Style Orange Chicken Shrimp and Egg Rice Platter HK Style Lemon Black Tea Experience: This was my third time coming here and I'm finally taking time to review this place. This time around we had a party of 8 and there was a wait, so after putting our name down, we sat outside to wait to be called. Unfortunately, since our party was big, we had to sit at back to back booths or wait for the bigger tables to open up. We were tired and hungry from serving so we decided to do the back to back booth option instead of waiting around. Each of our tables ordered their own set of food to share and were charged separately, but the other table covered the bill for us. Our table ended up sharing the Filet Mignon Cube French Style, Orange Chicken, and Shrimp and Egg Rice Platter. It was a good amount of food for the 4 of us, which was technically three since my husband had already ate beforehand. Each of the dishes were great, but I could have sworn the orange chicken was different from the first time I got it with my husband. Instead of it looking like little nuggets of chicken similar to Panda Express, it was thin pieces of chicken pieces and had a creamy taste rather than a tangy one. We also felt that there were less Filet Mignon pieces than the last time we came, which was a bit of a bummer. I had ordered a HK Style Lemon Black Tea and it was a bit bitter and sweeter than expected, but the savory food helped solved that issue when drinking and eating at the same time. Had enough leftovers to make 4 separate lunches for work and will come back next time for the Tofu Mushroom dish I got the first time I came here cause it was my favorite.
