    It's true that all the old Chinese folks have been flocking to this restaurant. My parents come here a lot with their various social circles for the deals. Is it a deal? Hot pots are $20-30 or per lb market price. Is the decor great? Half the ceiling and walls remain unfinished. Blue marking tape denote unfinished work. It smells of industrial cleaner in some corners. Was the fish tender? Yes Fresh? It seem so, but harder to tell given it's in soupy broth and dosed with lots of cumin. Tasty? Enough so If my parents want to come here, I'd join. Would I invite others here? No

    Great lunch specials at $9.99 from 11am-5pm every day including weekend. I placed a take out order at the restaurant in the late afternoon and my food was ready in about 15-20 min. Ordered 4 items. BBQ pork fried rice which is delicious. Very flavorful, slightly oily but in a good way. Filet mignon with black pepper sauce - also delicious. Sautéed string bean with minced meat - another delicious item. The string beans are chopped up which I didn't expect - still delicious. Lastly, Pork chop with spicy salt. This one was a disappointment. There was a lack of seasoning - almost like they forgot to season it. But overall, very good food at great prices and portion size. Also gave 2 large boxes of white rice. Total before tip was $43 and it's easily enough food for 3-4 people or meals. The parking lot in front is small but there's also a rear lot and street parking. They also have dinner specials.

    This is my go to place for lunch special. I just see that they have dinner special as well. Everything tasted great here for lunch so I would think dinner is the same. They just did a remodel and have new table, chairs and flooring etc inside. It's really nice to see that they can offer great price while able to upkeep the restaurant.

    We stopped by after hearing they offer $9.99 lunch dishes, and this little mom-and-pop Chinese spot definitely delivered good value. SERVICE: 4/5 We arrived just after the lunch rush, so there was almost no wait. The staff were friendly, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. FOOD: 4/5 The dishes were delicious and exactly what you'd expect from classic Chinese comfort food. A couple items leaned a bit salty, but overall everything was satisfying and flavorful. PARKING: 3/5 The parking lot is quite small, so coming during peak hours might be tricky. You may need to grab street parking if it gets busy.

    The hot new place all the older people are talking about. All of our parents keep talking about the great lunch special. We didn't end up making it for lunch special but we came for our Chinese new year dinner on the weekend before CNY. Big mistake. We came early but it still got crowded and on top of that people were rude and service was awful. I mean I've been to tons of Chinese restaurants growing up and service isn't always the best but they usually get the job done, food is good and so you don't mind that there are no pleasantries. No, not here. Food wasn't great and at times there wasn't any at all. We were missing two dishes even when we finished the rest of our meal and they kept saying it was coming and wouldn't even apologize for the delay or offer to cancel it. I mean we literally finished all our other dishes and had to go boxes and they still had us sitting there waiting for two other dishes we ordered forever ago. The waitress and honestly all the staff were beyond rude which is even worse for a CNY dinner. I get you're busy but even still, all the unhappiness was unnecessary. Just stop taking customers and close early if you can't keep up and you're gonna have a bad attitude about it. The chicken clay pot rice had small bones in the small pieces of chicken, if you can even call it chicken. It was more like chicken bones with tiny slivers of meat. I don't care how great the supposed lunch special is, I'm never coming back here. I'd rather take my business elsewhere. I think one table legit just got up and left after briefly sitting down with some menus. The only good thing I can say about this place is the fish soup my mother in law ordered kept coming with soup refills even when she was packing it to go. It was a little peppery and definitely tasted better than it looked. Btw the sign on the restaurant says something other than "Boiling Seafood Wok" but the sign on the plaza is that and that's what your gps will route you to. It's just some variation of the name, I forget exactly what but the sign above the doors is just slightly different.

    UPDATED MENU & PRICES. New name Boiling Stone Fish? Also, place looks really nice inside after recent remodel. I have only ordered to go in the past, but dined in yesterday as we brought a friend to try this place. Arrived just after 11am. Ordered 5 dishes for a party of 3 with plenty left over to take home: squid with spicy salt, shrimp with tofu, sweet & sour chicken, fish with black bean sauce, string bean with mince meat. All were delicious and plentiful portions. Service was excellent, professional, friendly. Was provided ice water, forks, chili sauce, to go boxes without having to ask more than once or twice). Didn't feel rushed. My friends enjoyed the food as well and liked the decor inside. All agreed a place we would go again.

    This is my first time having dinner at Boiling Seafood Wok. Parking may be a challenge as the parking lot is small. The restaurant offers special dinner dishes at $14.99. We opt for its regular dinner menu as it offers more choices. The highlight of the dinner is the fish hot pot. The fish is fresh, and the broth that accompanies it is delicious. You can also get a free broth refill. The rest of the dishes are delicious, and the waiter offers excellent service.

    Their lunch special is $9.99 and totally worth every dollar for its quality food! Affordable meals for the family! It's in a small little corner plaza with limited parking spaces; however, parking in rear and streets are available. Prepare for crowds as soon as they open their door!

    House Special Boiling Cod Soup
    Sandy N.

    Came here Saturday with a party of four for lunch and got seated right away. We ordered House Special Boiling Cod Soup and Green Beans. The House Special Boiling Cod was flavorful. Though the fish did not taste fresh, they added a generous amount of it. The soup base was delicious and not salty at all. As for the green beans, it was super salty. It was so salty to the point where I couldn't eat it alone and even with rice without chug a great amount of water. Other than that, it wasn't overcooked and green beans itself was fresh. Service is fast. Parking was simple since there was additional parking in the back. Restaurant can be suited for a large party since they have large tables available. Overall, I feel like it was still worth a try since the food does have some sort of authenticity. I also do hope to be back since this is one of my partner's favorite spots. I'm just hoping the day I went is one of their off days and is not considered their regular cooking.

    String bean with fish (lunch special), seafood and tofu in claypot, beef chow mien, rock fish hotpot
    Amy L.

    We came on a sunday at lunch time and waited 40 minutes to be seated, 15 minutes to order food and another 40 minutes to receive all the dishes we ordered. We were ignored, provided with dirty utensils/bowls and pots of yellow water they call tea. Some major things: The fish hotpot was definitely not worth 75$.. It was greasy, random vegetable chunks/cuts and too much alcohol. I am not sure how this is their famous dish. We ordered a 2lb fish for 5 people but there was barely any meat for each person. The menu said that it was 17.99$/lb but the total came out totally different. The stir fried string bean with fish fillet lunch special dish was 9.99$. It was greasy, they used frozen fish and the beans were fried in oil leaving this weird skin texture on the outside. It was lacking a lot of flavors. The seafood and tofu in claypot was 17.99$ but a total rip off. There were about 6 pieces of small tofu cubes, 4-5 frozen fish fillets (same as the string beans stirfry), 3 shrimps, 5-6 cuttlefish/squid. It was loaded with cabbage at the bottom. The dish mainly tasted of oil and toubanjiang sauce. The beef chow-mien was super greasy, uneven coating of soy sauce and flavor. The beef slices were tenderized to the point that it's not really beef anymore? You can't really taste any beef. There is also no wok hei, a big disappointment. Would not recommend wasting time and money here.

    3.5/5 in general. In short, everything tastes pretty good except for their signature dish (boiling fish) which is kinda ironic.. 4,5/5 Roasted pigeon : tender but compact meat. Kinda tastes like roasted duck but tighter meat. Love it. A bit pricy for this amount of meat for me tho. 5/5 Califlower: crunchy but flavorful. 1/5 boiling dish: the fish was pretty loose and fell apart the bone super easily. It just doesn't look fresh to us and it's $70... it sounded like a fresh fish when they selling it cause they were like "how many pound of the fish you like". Also my friends are all feeling it's less than 3 pounds that we ordered.

    Short while ago, I came across this restaurant on Yelp. The reviews mentioned great food and daily lunch specials, plus something that's unheard of these days, a ling list of specials for only $10. So on a day when we had nothing planned for lunch, we came here to try them out. The parking lot is shared with other businesses. The closest spots are tight and need a little maneuvering skills to get in. The outside and interior is not fancy at all. Just your average Chinese restaurant. The service is similar to a design style I like: minimalist. It's almost like they made an effort to exchange as little words as possible and avoid any facial expressions. For lunch, we went with their specials menu: Filet mignon in black pepper sauce: nice color in the beef but we all know it's not filet mignon. The beef was lacking compared to the onions they filled the plate with. Some pieces were tender, some were chewy. 3/5.(see my photo) Chicken fried rice: decent wok flavor and generous with the chicken. We opted out of scallions or any of the frozen diced veggies. 3.5/5 String beans and chicken: An even amount of chicken vs. beans. Flavor isn't bad. 3.5/5 Seafood tofu hot pot. Decent amount of fish and shrimp with tofu. Good flavor. 4/5. They served complimentary soup, but my soup spoon tasted like dishwater, as if they just fished it out of the sink. One sip was enough for me to thoroughly inspect every bowl plate or cup. Whenever we ask for anything, like water or the rice that was supposed to come with the lunch specials, we had to ask twice. They accept credit cards, but charge .75 extra. And then they tell me they cannot put the tip on the card so we have to use cash. OK, I get why, but what if I didn't bring cash? So the food was pretty decent, not much to rave or complain about. But for me, I very much prefer supporting businesses with good people that actually appreciate their customers a bit. Will I come back? Who knows, but I'm in no hurry that's for certain.

    Ken is an amazing server. I love the food here. Always amazing. That pot if fish always chef kiss. The soup is so amazing I kept drinking a lot. Another thing I 100% recommend from this place is that green bean! Do not order regular green bean. I don't know the english name for the beans but show them the picture and I'm sure they'll let you know what it is. I came on a Friday lunch and definitely no wait. Will always come back!!!!!! Thank you!

    From what time to what time do they have lunch specials available?

    Lunch specials end at 5pm and cost $8.99. Just went there today.

    Is this place permanently closed? I've been trying to call them since January... :(

    As of 4/2, they are open now. Just called and ordered takeout.

    Is this place still buy four item get one free fish?

    They said they're not doing this anymore due to Covid making business more slow. However, they still have their lunch specials from 12-5pm daily and provide free soup. They gave me soup and rice with all my dishes for take out.

    Is the place still open to do take out?

    Yes definitely!! Give them a call or order online

Service was really fast, got seated quick and they were fast to take our orders which was crazy at first but they were on it with service so I appreciated that. Even the food came out pretty fast. Saw that the Beef Noodle Soup was good so I had to try it, the beef broth was delicious and I love bok choy so they had me at bok choy! Beef was nicely cooked too, I liked it! Dan Dan noodles were okay and it felt like it was spicy peanut butter but still good, just not my favorite. But the pork dumplings (xiao long bao) was YUMMY. It really hit the spot when we grabbed one each and the warmth and taste was delicious. Definitely my favorite! Pork and crab dumplings were good too!

We also had a lot of questions about the menu, and they were super helpful there too.

Delightfully understated atmosphere with unique tiles throughout the decor, and we loved that we could hear each other talk and enjoy each other's company. Our server was amazing, she was so knowledgeable while being personable and extremely funny. I assume she's the cook's wife based on the other reviews - I arrived a little after my aunts, so I didn't get a full introduction since they had already secured a table and had ordered some drinks while looking over the menu. I had my eye on 3 different meat dishes - the Roasted Duck Breast, the New Zealand Lamb, and the Angus Beef Ribeye Steak - and my aunts also had each picked 1 of those, so we went family style, and it did not disappoint!! The chef knows how to cook each type of meat to perfection, and the searing pans are doing exactly what they need to be doing! The Roast Duck Breast was AMAZING as cooked to the recommended medium, with delicious crispy skin. The Angus Beef Ribeye Steak at medium rare was as tasty as it was gorgeous! And the New Zealand Lamb was PERFECTION, down to the bone. We also got the gourmet macaroni and cheese as an add-on side, since all the meals come with mashed potatoes and various veggies, and I was in heaven! As someone who used to work at the Disney Parks and frequented the steakhouses and other fine dining both here and in Orlando, Sage Bistro is giving Disney a run for its money when it comes to high-quality meat dishes! The prices reflect both the cut of the meats and the skill of preparation, with it averaging to about $50 each across the 3 of us, which is pretty reasonable for top-tier quality! The only thing I had to be careful about was that many of the dishes have mushrooms, and my throat gets itchy if I eat most mushrooms, so I had to avoid those dishes. During our meal, when I mentioned it to our server for future visits, she was great at noting which dishes could completely be modified to have no mushrooms while also being realistic about acknowledging the dishes that cannot be, which sadly includes the Braised Short Rib that sounds out of this world. But I can have the Beef Rib Soup, so I definitely want to try that next because I WILL BE BACK!!! They also offer takeaway, and were very generous in giving us each a coupon card to use for ordering through their website.

The Braised Fish did not come with steam rice, so we had to order the steam rice. For the drinks, we had the Peach Oolong Iced Tea and the 3-Colored Dessert. The Bún Bò Huế was very good. The Braised Fish was a little salty but still tasted good. The Peach Oolong Iced Tea was refreshing. The 3-Colored Dessert was very yummy. I enjoyed the sweet taste of it. They gave us orange slices for dessert on the house. The orange slices were so sweet and delicious. Will be back to try their other dishes I saw on their menus.

    There are very few Vietnamese restaurants that I've come across growing up in the SGV that offer…read morethe fermented fish vermicelli soup (aka bun mam) but Golden Delight does! This soup is so pungent that the only time I get to savor it is at home and the stink doesn't leave your home for a few days. So, it is to my delight that they offer it here during the weekdays. It is a nicely stacked bowl that has everything but the kitchen sink in it - roast pork belly, catfish, squid, eggplant, and stuffed jalapeno with fried fish cake. Very filling and reasonably priced! The only reason I gave this place a 4 instead of 5 rating is because you can only order certain items from the menu when they open. I wanted to get some Chinese food to-go for my husband, but was told by the server that the other items were only available beginning at 10 am, which is odd to me.

    Wow, this might be my favorite bite of the year. I fell in love with literally everything here. My…read moretwo favorite dishes were the steak and eggs and the cornmeal mochi pancake. I don't usually get scrambled eggs, but this was so velvety and soft, it was heaven sent. the steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The pancake was also very pillowy and had an amazing chewy to it. No syrup is needed. Also, didn't leave here without mentioning the hash brown. it was also amazing, get one if you can! Service was phenomenal. The restaurant isn't necessarily the biggest, and a wait is to be expected. But boy, i can't stress enough how good the beer is.

It was not the food I expected - a lot of it isn't all that Asian, but all of it is delicious! The Chicken Liver Mousse is rich and fatty, meant to be lavishly smeared. Yang's Fried Chicken Wings are simple...and simply irresistible. Most people who don't like salmon have never had good salmon, and I think the Salmon & Ikura Bowl could make anyone like salmon. There's also a Breakfast Plate with all the basics for those who just want that. The super-crispy hash brown cake is the best part, and the hanger steak is perfection. I'd love to come back for dinner - the menu is impressive, and if this is lunch, I'd love to see what other awesome things they can make!

    I was very curious about this place after reading my Yelp buddy Kevin M.'s review, so my wife and I…read moredecided to visit this restaurant. Located in a busy neighborhood of El Monte, CA, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Limited parking is available behind the restaurant, and street parking is an option if you can find a space. Upon entering, I immediately noticed how clean, well-organized, and modern everything looked. The electronic menu board is clearly and prominently displayed as you walk in. The menu is quite extensive, with options including wraps, salads, bowls, breakfast items, smoothies, and meal-prepped dishes with chicken, beef, salmon, tofu, and much more. I was impressed by the variety of choices and portions. My wife ordered an Asian chicken salad and garlic edamame, while I had a house salad with chicken and shrimp, plus a strawberry-banana smoothie and (2) protein donuts. Each dish was absolutely delicious. The lettuce in our salads was crunchy and fresh, the chicken and shrimp were flavorful and well-seasoned, the garlic edamame was tasty and cooked perfectly, and my banana and strawberry smoothie--let's just say I wish I had another one right now, as I loved it! If I may make a small suggestion: please chop the lettuce into smaller pieces, as the lettuce on both our plates contained large pieces that we had to cut ourselves. Despite this minor item, it was a positive dining experience, and we definitely plan to return soon to try other items on the menu.

    Came by for lunch. Street parking was available. This place is very clean. There was a line, but…read morethe line moved quickly. I ordered sesame chicken with sweet potato. The chicken was pretty dry, and the sweet potato has a lot of root in it. The food gave me a very "healthy" feeling that it was not oily. They also do meal prep, which is good for people who are too busy to cook. A lot of options are available.

I like my cartilage gelatinous. -Steamed Spare Ribs: Also needs to be cooked longer. The meat was very chewy and hard to get off the bone. -Shrimp with Chive Rice Roll: Came without chives. Asked about chives and was told they ran out of chives. I wish they had told us they were out of chives, we would've ordered the beef roll instead. -Sauteed Green Beans Lunch Special: Super salty. My mom said they took a shortcut and deep fried the green beans and then threw them in the wok, but because of this, it's missing wok hei. -Steamed Tilapia Lunch Special: Not bad, some sections overcooked and lots of scales found here and there. Bill came out to $44 and change. They have a promo at $50, would've appreciated being told that, I would've ordered 1 more dish just to be able to spin a wheel for funsies haha At the end of the day, I get it, it's busy, but I'd rather they take longer to cook something than give it to me faster at the expense of quality. Looks like they prioritize speed over quality. Might come back for dinner, since it was good last time but a hard pass on dim sum and lunch specials here.
