    Salt and Pepper Pork Chop
    Heather R.

    Century Dragon in Burbank is one of my longtime favorite spots in LA--I've been coming here for about 10 years, and I'll still happily drive out from the South Bay just for their Orange Tofu. It's always perfectly crispy and easily one of the best versions I've had anywhere. This visit, we also ordered the Sautéed Green Beans, Fish Fillet with Black Bean Sauce, and the Salt & Pepper Pork Chops with garlic and jalapeños--everything was so flavorful and comforting. The menu is huge, and even though I keep coming back for the orange tofu, I'm excited to branch out and try more dishes next time. Consistently delicious and absolutely worth the drive!

    BBQ Pork

    Street parking available. The restaurant is small but has plenty of seating. The menu has all the expected dishes.' For a Chinese restaurant, they have a lunch special everyday except holidays. Serving size of portions were very filling and a great value. Ordered a bbq pork appetizer which was a good size shared dish. Soup was hot and savory. Lunch special came with soup, rice, spring roll and an array of entrees to choose from. I tried the shrimp in lobster sauce and the overall flavor was good, mixed the rice in to sauce. Husband ordered the orange chicken spicy it had flavorful but didn't get the waterworks running. The staff was friendly, and gave good recommendations. Overall found a nice new place to enjoy a good lunch at.

    Man, a staple of Burbank. No matter how many times I come up here, have to go to this little bit of goodness every time! Smacks you with the deliciousness of the Asian cuisine. Service is always above and beyond when we go there. It's a small little nook with about a 8-10 tables and booths. If you love Asian food, gotta eat here.

    Place is decent. I'd say average across the board. The breading on the lemon chicken fell off every time I picked it up. The lemon sauce was okay. They forgot to bring out the appetizer and started making it after I had my main dish in front of me. The server was kind but maybe a bit forgetful. I did enjoy the soup quite a bit. I got a lovely fortune. I'd never complain if I was forced to eat here but I would also never go out of my way to go here either. Average and that's alright!

    Steamed Mixed Vegetable
    Tammy M.

    The mixed vegetables was a large portion, which was great, however the beef and broccoli with slightly on the smaller side, which looked more like a lunch special as opposed to a dinner plate but overall, it wasn't bad! Atmosphere was pleasant and air conditioned. I'll go back!

    Shrimp Fried Rice / Kung Pao Chicken
    Fahad H.

    We were welcomed by the Super friendly Gentleman and the lady who runs this place Tried their Vegetable Fried Rice (very good) & Spicy Beef (excellent must try dish)! Also if you're a Chili Oil fan like me then they sell them in jars for $5.99 which is really really good! If you're in the Burbank area then this place will NOT disappoint you, you'll find good food and most importantly great kind people here !!!

    Black Pepper Chicken, Chow Fun, Pork Fried Rice
    Abbey Q.

    Prices are pretty dang good for Chinese, but some of the dishes reaaaally lack flavor. We've tried this place twice and end up adding soy sauce to the noodles and fried rice. The main chicken and beef dishes are good though.

    Bad tasting food and poor ingredients, did not include rice and there was no indication that you need to order it separately.

    I have been craving Thai Food for the past 2 days now. I've been to this charming, cozy, pretty…read morerestaurant too many times over the years, but not for the last 3 years. According to other reviews that I have read earlier today, the restaurant is under new management/ownership. Walked in today around 4:45pm and got a very nice, warm welcome from Alex - the owner himself. He told me to have a seat anywhere that I wanted, so I did. Alex himself took my order and the food came out pretty quickly and fast. I was very hungry so I got 2 main entrées and their regular small salad with peanut dressing. Ordered their Pad See Ew with beef & shrimp that also came with well cooked broccoli. I also got their crab fried rice and stayed with my water. Both entrees were cooked really well and were hot & tasty. My only complaint was that the beef was a bit overcooked and hard to chew. A lot of to-go orders and delivery/pick up by 3rd parties. Place was SPOTLESS CLEAN, including their gender neutral restroom. They also had nice decor all around. I really enjoyed my lunch and the portions being HUGE, took the rest home for my son to eat. Parking shared with 100 businesses:-) Thank you Alex & Noodle Monster!

Their Thai iced coffee is SO GOOD. It's pretty sweet, but had lots of strong coffee to offset the sweetness a bit. The gyoza and the shrimp rolls were amazing! Also loved the sauces they were served with. For my main I got the Pad woon sen and I felt like it lacked flavor. The chicken was also pretty dry and there wasn't much of it on the plate. Their menu is so big I would definitely come back and give it another try! Food was ready super fast. Great for take out or dine in!

    I haven't even finished my meal and I had to come and tell you all how good it is…read more This is my 3rd time to this restaurant and next time I think I'll eat there for the experience. Usually I have a Bahn Mi but today I was craving Pho. My go to Pho spot is a little bit of a drive and I was looking for something in walking distance. No regrets. Today I had the Oxtail Pho + Vietnamese Coffee which ended up being about $28 and worth every penny. Let me tell you I am just so grateful for how delicious is but almost sad i've almost eaten it all. Let's begin with the location. Parking is tight but one thing about Lankershim/Magnolia is the side streets is your friend. Don't stress about parking bc you will find it. Inside the restaurant is very very cute, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Today they had Michal Jackson playing. Big fan! Big fan! The portion size is just right for me. It had enough to fill me up for one sitting and a little left over when my tummy settles and i'm ready for more. The broth is soooo yummy, I can't even explain it. Idk whose grandmother passed that recipe down but I love her. Now let's get into the actual Oxtail. wow, it was actually the biggest oxtail piece I think I have ever had in my life and it was so good. I am going to attach a photo bc this isn't regular Pho baby this herrrrr! (excuse the chunks I bit out, I realized it was so good I needed to tell yall ) They must love me and knew I needed this comfort meal bc there was a few pieces in there. Thank youuuuu Anywho, whether you're by yourself, on a date, with family or friends I definitely suggest checking them out. And you better be nice too bc I think it's family owned, they're lovely. Enjoy!

    Ate here for the first time tonight. I live less than 10 mins away but honestly if I had realized…read moreit was where it is before I left the house I would have picked somewhere else. The parking in this area of NoHo is terrible and I avoid it like the plague. That being said - was the food worth the 10-12 minutes of driving around looking for a spot and the 4.5 block walk (which I didn't mind at all)? Mmmmm not really. The food was very good but not special. It is not a full service restaurant - you order at a counter and the water is self-serve. You get a number and they bring the food to your table. The dine-in area is pretty rudimentary with wooden tables and benches. Lots of space and a decent amount of seating. But we were there around 8:15p on a Wed and they close at 9pm. They make no qualms about putting up the chairs around you and prepping to close, which makes one feel a bit unwelcome. I've worked in several restaurants and this is usually frowned upon. IMO, customers should come first and be treated with respect for spending their hard earned money in your establishment. Not like: we got your money now please leave. I'd go back if I were conveniently in the hood already but not sure I'd go out of my way to hurry back, otherwise.

    A super solid place to stop by, especially before catching a movie at The Burbank 16…read more I literally walk pass by this place all the time on my way to the movie theater. Finally got a chance to come-in & I'm glad that I did. Although, I have my "go-to whole-in-the-wall Vietnamese" place in the SFV, there's always room for more businesses to support & Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen - Burbank definitely deserves your patronage. It's a welcome step-up from your typical no-frills Vietnamese place, so the vibe / decor is especially great if you're introducing someone to Vietnamese cuisine for their first time. FOOD **PRO TIP: Go "Family-Style" = split multiple dishes amongst your table so you can have the opportunity to try multiple delishes dishes at once. That's the move. Shaken Beef Garlic Noodles - 9.2 / 10 **GET THIS DISH!!!!!** I did my "due diligence" before coming here & I 100% knew that I wanted to try this particular dish as soon as I came into the restaurant. In fact, the person whom I came here with wanted this too. (She didn't tell me in-advance). Needless to say, when multiple people have the exact same dish in-mind, you know that this is a good sign. Strips of lean, tender, juicy, quality, tenderloin steak, well-sautéed onions, plenty of garlic, served on top of a bed of al dente noodles. What's not to love? It's like eating a big, bowl, or spaghetti, but without the overpowering tomato sauce. Don't let the simplicity fool you. Yeah, I could very, well likely make this dish as home, but sometime it' just nice to leave some things to the pros. You can't go wrong with this dish. It sounds delicious in theory & it delivers on all fronts in reality. Spicy Garlic Chicken Rice - 8.9 / 10 A nice counterpoint to the heavier beef dishes that are offered, the well-seasoned, not-overly dry, but not-too spicy chicken is substantial. Round that off with an adequate portion of perfectly-steamed white rice & some fresh veggies (your standard pickled carrots, daikon radish, & lettuce), & you got yourself a solid chicken dish. Grilled Ribeye Steak Sandwich - 9.1 / 10 I hadn't had breakfast, so I was definitely craving a bit more to satisfy my hunger. This beef variant of a traditional Vietnamese Bahn-Mi hit the spot. Since I'm used to eating more economical + fattier cuts of beef for my bahn-mi, it's a rather welcome + modern twist to be using more premium cuts of steak (I honestly might steal this move the next time I whip-up a bahn-mi at home). It was hearty & you can definitely tell that the quality is there. I could be mistaken, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some fish sauce that was used to marinade the steak. It makes for such a well-rounded, savory flavor. The crisp veggies, & aromatic cilantro round-out all taste sensations on a fresh baguette. In many ways, this is the fancier, upgraded, "Rolls Royce", of a typical whole-in-the wall Vietnamese spot's bahn-mi, & that is sometimes what you want. I would definitely get this again, especially if I was on-the-go. DRINKS Mango Jasmine Iced Tea - 8.9 / 10 Don't sleep on Mama Hong's handcrafted beverages. The mango jasmine iced tea provides everything that I want in a thirst-quenching drink. You get the tropical tones of the mango offset by the herbaceous jasmine of the tea. I really appreciate that it's not overly sweet. I especially dig that their handcrafted beverages come in customized branded plastic packaging with that soda-can lever-opener-style lid. You just don't get that anywhere. The staff is beyond accommodating. Shout-out to Mariska for being such a friendly & warm server. Granted, I came on a Sunday afternoon (around 2pm-3:30pm), don't be surprised if you have to wait because I can see this place being quite the trendy spot. Granted it's casual, it's still feels a bit nicer/fancier than the more relaxed bars, fast-casual spots in the surrounding area. You can't go wrong with Mama Hong's Vietnamese Kitchen - Burbank. A solid choice, indeed.

The banh mi has no jalapenos, half the sandwich is daikon and carrots with a cucumber and the thinnest layer of overcooked beef on top. I ordered last month 2 banh mi and egg rolls. Banh mi had no jalapenos either, the egg rolls were missing lettuce wraps and the sauce was half the to go container. I've eaten here in person and received lettuce when eating in the restaurant, their yelp photos show lettuce wraps with the egg rolls. But every time i ordered egg rolls for takeout it is missing lettuce wraps. The one time i ordered and got the lettuce wraps with egg rolls, i had to explicitly tell them to add it that time. I thought this placed served the food as it should be in their culture? I've held back leaving a bad review of this place because i thought they would somehow improve or it was a one off mistake but this was the final straw. Consistently screwing up or intentionally holding back ingredients on takeout orders crazy. How much are you actually saving by with holding lettuce, sauce, and jalapenos??? This place used to be good, now it's just another above average spot. If you want banh mi, go somewhere else and be less disappointed.
