    must have!
    Connie D.

    For the love of duck! I can't believe what I just found! It's like a hidden gem! So, you know how we always had to drive all the way to Alhambra just to get our hands on our favorite Chinese food? Well, guess what? I stumbled upon this place on Yelp, ! I've been around this complex for ages, but I never even noticed it. But now, I'm telling you, it's a must-try! The star of the show - their fried duck! It's absolutely yummers! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I know it might be a bit hesitant to try the place because it's quiet, doesn't look engaging to come in but it's worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They've got some really tasty options too. Parking is a lot, we just call them and pick up the food, so eating there vibe I cannot share a lot. oh well, my fellow Glendale peeps, I highly recommend checking out this place. It's a hidden gem that you won't want to miss.

    Finally a legit Chinese restaurant in Glendale! Huge menu, fresh ingredients, great service! Had the steamed chicken dumplings, vegetable tofu soup, orange chicken, and walnut shrimp. Amazingly, that qualified us to get a special house lobster for only $6.99! All of the food was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and made with high quality ingredients. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room is clean, there's plenty of free parking, and a kiosk at the for if you want to only order for takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back!

    I have been coming here for years. My family loves it. The food is very flavorful and the staff is always very kind and welcoming.

    Only complaint about this business is the inconsistency of the items put in to their dishes.

    Is this California Wok in Glendale in the same owner management family as the California Wok that used to be open in Los Alamitos :D?

    Solid 3.5 (A-Ok)…read more This is a cute restaurant on Foothill, super close to Descanso Gardens. PARKING. There is a huge lot out back. A few spots on the street too. SEATING super comfy space inside with great views of the surrounding mountains. There are plenty of tables for bigger parties to push together. FOOD Lots of options for the vegetarians in your party. You can omit egg for some to be vegan. Adding Gluten to your dish will cost more than meat option? (-1 Star). Tasty dishes. Spice level is very good. Spicy = spicy. The recipes are a little on the sweeter side here. Overall nice flavors and well cooked greens. Blistered cherry tomatoes in Pad Kee Mao were excellent. PORTIONS are pretty small. **This was not a "lunch special". I finished the Thai iced tea in one long sip. (Small glass, filled with ice when tea was done) SERVICE Fantastic. Both servers that came to the table were super friendly and attentive. ** We were the only people in there until we got the check. One other patron was picking up an order to go. PRICE Perfect "date lunch" prices for the portions. The restaurant atmosphere and convenience close to Descanso Gardens makes it a great choice.

Try their Pad Krad Tiem or Garlic beef! So so good.. But everything they make is delicious. Close to the 210 and Angeles Crest Higjway ao easy to get off the freeway and go one block down to foothill and turn right and go a block and pull a u turn and there it is. Parking lot in back for free or also free street parking. Open sunday at noon too. Love it!!! Going today and so looking forward to it.

This place is basic, nothing fancy and there's really no ambiance or special feelings associated with it - it's just an old-looking sit-down and serve establishment. The few people sitting to eat were random; I was there to order to-go. After asking what was the patrons favorite dish(es) the lady quickly pointed out the most expensive items on the menu. Of course she did. My eyes rolled but I was polite and decided to order something I recognized and wouldn't hate myself for in the morning. Chicken Teriyaki Can of coke My bill came to $34.23 Ahem! What? Why does a plate of Chicken Teriyaki cost so much? And why $3 for a can of coke? I just cannot wrap my head around it. This isn't a fancy restaurant at all! In fact, it's as basic as it gets with no ambiance or warmth. I cannot recommend this place at all. The food was pretty poor and nowhere near on par with classy eats that try to reach that $$ figure. Montrose is certainly a place where there are people with money and no taste...looking for reasons to spend it willy-nilly. I thought I took a photo of the plate when I got home. Guess not. Avoid if you aren't made of money and prefer well-prepared meals, not quick, mushy fast-foodish stuff.
