    Fish Ball Soup lukewarm and bland, boiled beef brisket bland and over bed of bean sprouts, veggies bland. Awful meal.
    Rita C H.

    They're usually "average". Last night's family meal was a fail. Family meal is for 4 people. $33 is a very affordable price these days. But I suppose their low price is reflected on their foods quality. We ordered their March 4 family meal. It consisted of Fish Ball Soup, Garlic Chicken, Boiled Beef Brisket, and Seasonal Vegetables. All the items were lukewarm. Felt like the order probably had been sitting out for at least an hour. Fish Ball Soup was plain and flavorless. The napa cabbage was not fresh and the soup contained 4 fish balls. Each family member got one fish ball each. Garlic Chicken was the most flavorful of the meal and even that it was not the best. Boiled Beef Brisket was plain and flavorless and was over a bed of bean sprouts. We had to add some sauce to it to make it flavorful. 2/3 bean sprouts & 1/3 beef. There was no mention of bean sprouts on the menu. They really should've called it Boiled Beef Slices & Bean Sprouts. Seasonal Vegetables looked promising but it was also plain and flavorless. We had to add our own salt to make it tasty. It was so disappointing. Don't think we'll be ordering their family meals any time soon.

    Cafe Fusion has a large Taiwanese menu selection, and they offer free delivery for $65+ in many cities such as Pasadena, Glendale, Calabasas, Glendale, West LA, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and Porter Ranch. They offer prix fixe menu $50 that lets you pick 3 entrees, 1 soup, and rice. My favorites are the Taiwanese loofah with cherry shrimp 絲瓜, salted egg pumpkin 鹹蛋南瓜, 五更腸旺, three cups basil eggplants and tofu, and garlic "dragon whiskers" veggies. In general, deep fried food doesn't fare as well for takeout so go for stir fried, boiled, and marinated dishes instead. Their full menu is also available to choose from. They also sell frozen goods, fresh produce, and a few pantry soy sauces. Support woman owned business. They are very hardworking and delivering to many cities far away.

    Their Ba bao Rice is very unpalatable, they put pumpkin seeds on it. I never heard anyone make ba bao rice with pumpkin seeds. and the vegetarian buns have no taste at all. If you eat them, you will wonder if you have the coronavirus. so be careful what you order at this restaurant.

    4.7 stars for Cafe Fusion! They have awesome lunch special deals! I can't find milk fish anywhere else (and deboned at that). They have lots of options on their menu. Plus, their dishes are super authentically Taiwanese! Not too greasy either. Great food and great service! Definitely recommend it if you want to satisfy your Taiwanese food cravings.

    Such a great find for authentic Taiwanese Good at Cafe Fusion! They currently have few tables outside in tents or offer to-go. The menu is impressive. It probably has few hundred different items in total! It spans from different protein items to vegetables. We had a group of 5 people but ordered 10 items haha The food was served in to-go containers so the leftover were easy to pack home. The portion of each item wasn't too big, so it was great to try out many dishes here. Few of my favorites - fried pumpkin with salted egg, boiled whole squid with five flavors sauce, tofu with bamboo shoots, and fried rice. Honestly, every dish here was so delicious. It was great to share with a group of friends. We can't wait to come back again!

    Eel noodles & black chicken soup
    Vivian C.

    Very disappointed by the food, especially the portions at this restaurant. I never leave bad reviews on mom & pop shops like this, but I feel like I need to share my experience. The menu is very Taiwanese (I grew up in Taiwan), but the flavor is quite lacking. We got 2 black chicken soup and 2 eel noodles, and it came out to almost $50. The chicken soup is SO little for $6, and the eel noodles had so little eel, and the eel pieces were very mushy from being frozen. I want all the Taiwanese places to do well, but given there's so many restaurants in SGV that actually deliver great quality and prices, this place is at most 1.5 stars

    Everything here is absolutely delicious and every dish is cooked perfectly. I highly recommend the fried pork. The meat is tender and juicy and pairs perfectly with a bowl of rice.

    Introduction: Café Fusion is a rarity in Arcadia in the sense that in Arcadia very few good restaurants exist. The current Café Fusion is under new management; the original Owner of Café Fusion has relocated to the City of Industry. The old Café Fusion's culinary execution was okay when they first started out then the quality descends shortly after; the new Café Fusion's culinary execution is a lot better overall. The restaurant is predominantly Taiwanese with certain aspects of Asian Fusion. Within SGV, three legitimate Taiwanese restaurants exist: Kingschop in city of Industry, Golden Leaf in San Gabriel, and Café Fusion. Amongst the three, Café Fusion's the best. Golden Leaf's culinary execution is legitimate and on point but Café Fusion's approach is smoother and more refined. Foods: The things I have tried are as follows: Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables: Café Fusion's pork belly with preserved vegetables is one of the best ones I have had thus far. The pork belly is lean at the bottom but without being dry; the upper layer of fat is not too fatty but rather adequately and satisfyingly so. The preserved vegetables are of good quality. This dish goes great when paired with rice. Sticky Rice with Dungeness Crab: The glutinous rice is flavorful and marinaded well. Each bite bear notes of shiitake mushroom, shredded pork, dry shrimp, and umami from the crab. The crab itself is relatively fresh. The price for this dish is $47 and it is on the pricier spectrum; it's best one orders this dish for a special occasion such as a potluck or party: guests will be delighted and the dish will surely turn some heads. Spicy Pork Intestine and Pork Blood in Pot: The spice level for this dish is adequate and mellow; it's not the kind of spiciness that's overly aggressive. It's flavorful and all the ingredients used are of good quality. I especially enjoy the pork blood: the texture of the blood is tender and soft while other establishments' pork blood tends to be over-cooked. Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetable Buns: Buns to Asians are as burgers are to non-Asians: we eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snack. A good bun is hard to find: the skin has to be soft as opposed to rough, and the ingredients have to be fresh as well as of good quality. Too many establishments get the skin to ingredients ratio wrong; meaning there's too much skin relative to the amount of ingredients. Often the skin is rough too. In addition, usually the ingredients inside are of subpar quality. Café Fusion's pork belly with preserved vegetable buns are different. The skin of the buns is plump and soft. The pork inside the buns is fresh, tender, and succulent. The preserved vegetables are noticeably fresh as well. Chicken in Wine and Sesame Oil Soup with a side of thin noodles: The chicken in wine and sesame oil soup is legitimate. The taste of the wine is distinctly present and the sesame oil adds fragrance to the soup overall. The broth is flavorful, mellow, wholesome, and bears depth. One thing good about this soup is that it's not too oily. Ambiance: Casual Service: Adequate Price: Reasonable depending on what you get.

    black cod fish (10/10 would recommend)
    Tiffany H.

    I've been here a couple of times and I always tend to forget about this gem! They have lots of options on their menu - which is always a plus. I came with my boyfriend and cousin and we ordered the braised pork, clams (salty IMO), black cod fish, and chinese celery with squid (wasn't a fan). The braised pork was SO tender and juicy. I was a little skeptical when it first came out as it was drenched in sauce, which I thought was going to be very salty. However, I was very impressed - I had to scoop extra sauce on my plate cause it was that good. I will definitely be ordering this again. The black cod fish was also a great decision of our dinner. I loved the way it was cooked and how much sauce it comes with. It'd be great with rice! All four dishes for about $100 - which I think is a steal for the quality and quantity of the food. I'll have to keep this restaurant in mind when I'm craving cheap and good food! Parking can be found on the back side of the restaurant. Service was mediocre as they took a little longer than expected to hand us menus.

    On Saturday night a large group of us went to Cafe Fusion for some Taiwanese food. Cafe Fusion is consistently the best Taiwanese cuisine ( not street food ) in L.A. Always authentic always good. Arthur, the owner is always there and keeps the quality of his food up to standards. We ordered the following: Black Cod my favorite always great Smoked and steamed Goose Kidney in rice wine and vermicelli Three cups chittlins and tofu Okra A Choi Bitter melon with slated duck egg Fried sticky rice Make reservations if you have a large party, the lines to get a table at 7 pm are long. 5 bottles of wine and a table of great friends = great evening.

    Spicy Fish Filet
    Emily C.

    We usually go out of TC/Arcadia to get Chinese food, but some places around here are worth a try. We found this place next to a Shanghai restaurant at the corner and decided to have lunch here. The seaweed with garlic small appetizer dish they give you is very garlicky but quite nice. Service was alright. They don't seem to really care about you, but then again, it's a Chinese place so I never expect stellar service. There was a lady who kept adjusting a little flower in a small white vase behind my seat. She looked to be an owner or manager. I really would not have even looked above me and cared whether or not there was a flower there, but whatever floats your boat. Spicy fish filet was alright. I've had better and the fish was a bit overcooked. Three cup chicken was not as flavorful and was very tender and not as dry as other places. I prefer a drier kind, so I wasn't impressed. You had to actually dip the chicken into the sauce and that's when the taste was pretty good. I really wouldn't pay that much for the dishes here that could really be made better at other places and cost less as well. Eh, not going to be back.

Can't go wrong with this staple. The one you dish that we did try was the grilled lemongrass pork chop. We don't usually order this but decided to give it a try this time. It was decent but more on the savory side. Overall, we were glad to find a restaurant with dinner specials. Given the price point and the standard types of Hong Kong styled food that were offered, I think we would return to try their other items on the special menu.

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.

I really liked the deluxe version because it felt more filling and had a good amount of protein from the minced pork, chashu, and poached egg.

The mazesoba was a bit on the salty side, but it wasn't something that bothered me. The seaweed and fish powder added extra depth and helped give the bowl more variety, while the green onions added a nice texture and freshness.

We walked into a casual ramen shop atmosphere, the kind of place that works well for a quick and satisfying meal rather than a long dining experience. The space is functional and focused, with a menu centered around different variations of mazesoba along with a few sides and drinks. The main reason to visit is the mazesoba, and it delivers a completely different experience from typical ramen. The noodles have a chewy texture and are meant to be mixed thoroughly with the toppings, sauce, and egg yolk to bring everything together. We tried the Nagoya-style combination of spicy minced pork, green onions, seaweed, garlic, and other toppings, and found the bowl rich and layered, with each bite getting better as everything blended together. The deluxe versions add more toppings and make the dish feel more complete, while the spice level can be adjusted depending on how much heat you prefer. The richness of the sauce and toppings is balanced by the brightness of the egg yolk and the crunch of the onions, keeping the dish from feeling one-dimensional. The restaurant also offers options like takoyaki and matcha drinks, which add variety to the meal. The matcha latte is a nice contrast to the heavier noodle dishes, while the sides work well for sharing or adding something extra to the table. Since mazesoba is naturally a heavier dish, the balance of toppings and textures helps keep the meal from feeling too rich, and the sides offer a lighter counterpoint. Service is quick and the experience moves efficiently, which fits the casual style of the restaurant. Menya Hanabi can get crowded during busy hours, and waits are possible, but the focused menu and flavorful bowls make it worth adding to a noodle rotation. It is a great spot if you want to try something different from traditional ramen, delivering a meal that feels both intentional and satisfying, with a concept that is simple but executed in a way that makes the noodles stand out.

    Definitely recommend dining in rather than taking out!…read more Decided to give this spot another try and I had a much better experience eating at the restaurant than ordering takeout! Arrived on a Saturday at noon and it was slightly busy but service was attentive and friendly. Loved that the open kitchen setup so I could see the staff making the noodles from scratch! Got the Spicy Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup ($16.50) and I really enjoyed it. I loved that the spice level could be adjusted so I got the mild. There were 4 different noodle options - standard round, flat, knife cut, and triangle. I got the knife cut and it was so fresh and chewy. The broth was rich and flavorful without being too salty or spicy. Wish there were more chunks of beef shank and tendon but not a big deal! Really enjoyed how the beef tendon was very tender and not too fatty. However, the beef shank was a bit too dry and rough in texture for my preference. Overall, I enjoyed the noodles and the broth, as well as the beef tendon! The Signature Beef Noodle Soup ($15.50) was good. Really enjoyed the noodles since I got knife cut so it was very fresh and chewy! Definitely recommend their knife cut noodles! The broth was slightly too salty and I wasn't a big fan of the broth because it tasted a bit minty due to some of the herbs and spices used perhaps? I didn't like the beef since it was too dry and rough but I still ate it all because I don't like wasting food. Overall, I definitely enjoyed the Spicy Beef and Tendon Noodle Soup more than the Signature Beef Noodle Soup. Also, I liked the noodles much more than the broth and beef.

    I haven't been back to jazz cat in years! There is another location in city of industry. I believe…read morethe San Gabriel one closed down. Used to go to the city of industry location more and the place was busy back then during my high school and college days! I came to jazz cat for dinner around 6 pm and there was not many people. We were seated immediately. They now have an AYCE option but we got the à la carte option instead. Service was good and attentive. The servers came to check up on us from time to time and refilled our broths without us asking. The price did increase but it is still a good option for affordable hotpot without feeling the need to purchase AYCE and the added pressure to finish so much food to avoid leftovers. Miss those days when jazz cat would be busier and you would have to wait in line to get a spot. There are too many hotpot options available now.

    I came on a Saturday around 4 PM and there was no wait at all! I was happy there was a parking lot…read moreso parking is not an issue at all. This was an interesting shabu shabu place and we opted to not to AYCE since we weren't that hungry. Here, you pick the type of meat, then the broth, then a sauce to pair it with. I got the beef regular, japanese spicy miso and the spicy sesame. Everything was really good and I really liked my broth. I just wish this place had a sauce bar or something more customizable like other hotpot places. The beef was very tender and soaked flavor nicely. The Japanese Spicy Miso wasn't too spicy but I liked the richness of the broth. The amount of veggies was decent and they even add a little bit of noodles to it!

    Visit this spot at the Glendora Market, staff were super sweet and attentive. I got a build your…read moreown Pho bowl which gives you the option to pick 3 proteins. It was my first time having tendon and omg was it amazing! The broth and the selections of meat with all the sauces just made the soup more satisfying. The ambiance of the place was fresh and not over crowded! We did go on a Monday during lunch hours and it was fairly quiet.

    I ate here twice in one week…read more The first time I visited, I tried the bún bò Huế ($19.99). It comes with a ton of meat: sliced beef shank, pork cha lua + beef tendon. For being in a food hall in Glendora, this was a pretty good bowl of bbh. - it has rich umami broth though it could have stood for more vermicelli noodles. I was most surprised by the amount of beef tendon. In fact, I asked for a side of fish sauce to dip the tendon lol. On my second visit, I built my own phở bowl ($17.48). You get a choice of 3 meats, so I chose wagyu steak, wagyu eye round, and brisket. I thought the meat quality was great. The broth, on the other hand, was having an off night I think. It had a very strong star anise flavor and the broth could have use a little skimming. And Broth offers a variety of interesting phở variations that I'd like to try. I like that there are so many different Vietnamese dishes umbrella-ed under one establishment. I'll definitely be back.
