    This is my family's favorite place to go. We've been coming here for years, and I just realize I don't have a review for this spot. This place means comfort food for us. I've usually only eaten here for dinner, but this is my first time trying out their lunch. Their price is reasonable and even better during lunch. Our must ordered dish is their House special steamed chicken. For today's lunch we also got their ong-choy with garlic, beef with string beans, and a lamb with green scallion dish. Flavors are good. Food came out quick. Service always been fine. My only complaint is that they have an outdoor seating area in the back of the restaurant where people smoke. Sometimes you get that strong cigarette smell when you're eating. It hasn't stopped us from coming here to eat.

    Delicious cantonese dishes!!

    I honestly can't remember the last time I actually sat down and dined at a restaurant in Alhambra since moving to DTLA, but I really miss it. A good pal of mine took me to this spot on Valley Blvd, and it was surprisingly very good.. plus, the prices were super reasonable. We ordered the house special fried rice, spicy spare ribs, and century egg congee. It was so good that I went back the very next day for takeout!!

    Came here for dinner this time and they were still pretty bustling around 7pm. There is plenty of parking outside. We were seated right away and they got us hot water. Their AC was on kind of high at the booths so I was freezing a bit and it also made the food turn cold fast. We ordered 3 dishes for 3 people and ate it family style. - Honey walnut shrimp ($21.95): good portion. The shrimp was nice and crispy with the perfect sweetness from the mayo (5/5) - Sweet and sour pork ($15.95): bite sized pieces of pork that can be kind of hard to chew depending on the piece. Sweet and sour sauce was on point (3/5) - Scallop mushroom crispy tofu ($17.50): good portion with soft tofu once you bite into the crispy exterior and paired deliciously with the thick savory sauce (5/5)

    Small, more casual version of Chinese banquet style restaurant with a million menu options. Their food is pretty decent and at a reasonable price. Service is not great but not terrible either. They only have a few lazy-susan tables, so if you want more of that banquet style experience you can try reserving in advance. Food: Fish fillets with broccoli - Honestly could not find this on the menu, just showed the waiter a Yelp picture and he went oh yeah sure. On the milder side, felt like a decently healthy option. Fish was cooked well, not overdone. Crispy pork chop - Delicious, full of umami, and perfectly crisp battered pork chop pieces; tastes exactly like those of similar restaurants. Seafood and mushroom soup - Good, deep flavor and good texture from seafood chunks and egg white ribbons. Comes with shrimp and some fish pieces and veggies. Not quite a clear broth type of situation, likely thickened with something for a silkier mouth feel. Scallop and crab egg white fried rice - Very good, one of the better renditions I've had. It had a great seafood flavor as I believe they were a little more generous with the dried scallop pieces. Stir fried Chinese broccoli - Well executed, stalks were still nice and crisp, and lots of flavor from the bits of dried fish that are tossed with it. One of my favorite dishes we ordered. Beef chow fun - A little lacking in flavor, and the beef was not very tender. Overall there's nothing that really stands out, no flavor highlights and gets old very fast. I think I would get a different noodle dish next time.

    #170: Sautéed On Choy with Garlic
    Carol M.

    11/01/2025: heeey Yelp, why only 3.4 stars for this amazing establishment?!? Our first time here, and I think we have chosen tonight's destination well! The interior dining room is absolutely PACKED and the outside patio is at capacity as well! Game 7 of the World Series probably doesn't hurt, they have the game on their screens. The wait wasn't bad at all, they quoted 20 minutes and it was only about 10 before we were seated. We noticed that my husband was the only non-Asian in the entire restaurant and I'm likely the only half-Asian... always a good sign when looking for truly authentic cuisine! IYKYK The dining room is bustling, the staff are hustling. The menu is extensive and Don says the experience is reminiscent of his business trips to Hong Kong. The aromas are heavenly, and I want to walk around from table to table with chopsticks in hand to sample absolutely everything! Under "Chef Recommendation", we ordered #1, House Special Crispy Chicken w/Stuffed Shrimp (half). Not exactly what we expected, but the skin was very crisp! We think maybe the shrimp is ground and formed with the chicken meat in to the skin? if served without knowing , you might think it was only chicken. Nice flavor and it's served with a plum sauce on the side. It could have used either a little more salt, or a second sauce option with perhaps vinegar, garlic and salt? Still good, but that would have elevated it to great! We also ordered #23, Deep Fried Squid with Spicy Salt. This was the star of our table! Perfectly crispy to the tooth, the calamari was tender, the batter is well seasoned and the fried scallions and garlic on top are (chef's kiss). For something green, #170 Sautéed On Choy with Garlic. Well executed, tender with just a little toothsome bite to the hollow stems. Plenty of garlic and a generous portion! note to self: Next time I'll branch out and try the versions with either the Spicy Bean Curd Sauce or the Salty Shrimp Paste. The service is fast. SO very fast! A little challenging to ask questions about the menu if you don't speak Chinese, but hey - I'm in their space! I see some have accused them of being unfriendly, but I didn't find that at all. They were all very attentive and kind! Needless to say, they've earned a bookmark from me and we will be back. I'd love to come with a larger group of 5 or more to take advantage of the big round tables with the Lazy Susan centers.

    China Bistro delivered a memorable experience, starting with their crispy chicken in onion and soy sauce--my personal favorite, crisp perfection on a plate. My sweet-and-sour-loving friend (the "play it safe" type) was actually spot-on: that dish was surprisingly crisp and balanced. Now, the Mapo Tofu could've used a life preserver--a bit too dry for my liking. Service was fast, and the ambiance? Classic inside, relaxed outside, with the smoker-friendly patio. And with their diverse menu, you won't run out of new dishes to try--though I'll be back for that crispy chicken every time.

    Came here around 7pm on a Saturday for dinner with some friends. They were busy when we came in but luckily we didn't have to wait for a table. They many tables instead as well as outside patio seating. We were seated at a booth but it was right under the air conditoner vent so it was cold while we ate. They have restrooms here and it was actually pretty clean. It is a bit loud inside but it didn't bother me too much. Their menu has English and Chinese which is convenient. We ordered the Sweet Sour Pork (15.95), Scallop Mushroom Crispy Tofu (17.50), and the Walnut Shrimp (21.95). We also got the egg waffle (6.95) for to-go. The servers here speak Mandarin and Cantonese but I think you can easily get away ordering by pointing at the menu or using English. The server was pretty nice and came to take our order fast. We got hot water and ordered rice (4.50 per bowl), but the rice portion is pretty big since they didn't serve them in a bowl but the big red rice container. The dishes were served pretty fast which was good since we were starving. The walnut shrimp was nicely fried and had good amount of mayonnaise that didn't feel greasy. The crispy tofu was my favorite though since it is the soft tofu with perfectly fried crispy skin. The sweet and sour pork was just okay though, but it was nice that it didn't have bones. The portion for all three were reasonable for the price and the economy. The service is also great because they actually help pack your leftovers for you. Overall, this a great choice for Cantonese homestyle food to eat with family or friends. I will visit again. Would recommend!

    The fried chicken with soysauce is the star at this place! The chicken is fried perfectly with crispy skin but not dry inside. The chicken lays on top of soysauce with some green onions. The next best thing is the beef chow fun.

    Orange peel chicken and house special fried rice
    Andrea D.

    Food is very fresh, delicious and definitely family style. They service was okay. We had about 3 different waiters while we were there for lunch. If you go to dine in I would recommend staying away from the back patio tables. When we were there somebody was smoking out on the patio, everytime the doors would open all you could smell was smoke. It wasn't very appetizing. I would have given 5 stats but they charged 6.00 for tea. I mean come on hot water and a tea bag? Overall it was food that got us to come back, however we did a pick up order.

    The food here is perfect. Place is not fancy but pleasant and cheerful. Service is so fast. It took less than 5 minutes for our food to arrive in bulk. 3 batches. This is my mom's favorite restaurant so even if it is far from us we don't mind driving. It is absolutely worth it.

    Seafood and tofu clay pot
    Chris K.

    For casual Chinese/Cantonese food dining, China Bistro stands out among the rest, offering good hearty foods at competitive prices!! I've been coming here for almost twenty years, since when I couldn't afford eating out too often. My favorite dish is definitely the deep fried crispy chicken with scallion and soy sauce. It's the reason why I keep coming back. I've been ordering this dish for as long as I remember. From what I know, the chicken has been marinated in soy sauce before it's deep fried, thus it is so flavorful. Absolutely delicious over white rice, especially after adding some of the scallions and soy sauce! I wouldn't recommend the "crispy deep fried chicken" as it isn't as tasty. They are two completely different dishes! Make sure to mention scallions and soy sauce upon ordering. I ordered the seafood and tofu clay pot as well. It's pretty solid. They offer lunch specials for less than $15 a dish with a huge menu to choose from. Great selections!! Service is decent. No complaints here, keeping in mind it's a casual Chinese restaurant. The interior is fair, while the building itself used to be a McDonald's decades ago. It's pretty spacious as they have large booths and big round tables as well. There is an outdoor dining area next to the parking lot. I myself prefer dining indoor, away from the streets.

    I've had this place bookmarked in my Yelp app for a long time, and I finally happened to be in the area, so I was like, OK let me stop in. I went in and placed an order for their chicken wings, which come with a generous container of rice and a drink. It was very reasonably priced--you get about 10 wings, and everything was under $15. I'll post a picture of what my receipt looked like. The chicken itself was pretty good. In my opinion, it could've been cooked just a little bit longer. The outside was very crunchy, but the inside wasn't quite as done as I would've liked. If they had kept it down for another 2-3 minutes, I probably would've loved it. I ate a couple of pieces on my drive back home which was about 45 minutes and once I got home, I just popped the rest in the oven to cook it a bit more. That said, the service was really great, and they were super busy. I think I went in about 10 minutes after they opened and still waited around 20 minutes for my food, which was totally fine. By the time I left, the entire parking lot was full, and the dining room was packed. I waited in my car, and it was probably around 11:30-11:40 by the time I got my food. Honestly, that speaks volumes for a restaurant to be that busy within the first 30 minutes of opening. One thing to note: they don't take Apple Pay. It's cash, Visa, or MasterCard only. They also don't take Discover, and I'm assuming they probably don't take American Express either likely because of the fees.

    We had lunch here today with a party of 15. They have a small private parking lot. It was busy at 12:30. Food was mostly good. Rating: Solid three Stars.

    HK Macau Bistro is located in a small strip mall off of Las Tunas Drive, with a small parking lot…read moreshared by other businesses (Cathy's Bakery, Chong Qing and Four Sea Restaurant). Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to get a late dinner on a Saturday night. We walked in around 8:45 pm and were acknowledged by an employee after waiting for maybe 5 minutes asking if we would like a table. But the strange thing was that I had told the the employee who acknowledged me that I wanted a table for 2, he didn't sit us. He looked like he was trying to clean the table but then just walked away... but luckily another employee saw us and asked how many for a table. But anyway, after looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: A11: Fish Siu Mai with Rice Roll, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered this dish, which was plenty for one person (this dish is found under the appetizer section of the menu). I actually really love rice noodles and also fish siu mai so this was a great combination for me. And the peanut and soy sauce mixture poured all over reminds me of when I had freshly made rice noodle in Hong Kong many years ago. But my husband would prefer the rice noodle not to have any of the sauce (or on the side so he can maybe just dip it if he wanted to). I think this dish could use less of the peanut soy sauce mixture too but I still overall really liked this dish. D9: Grilled Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, $16.99 prior to tax- This dish comes with your choice of either steamed white rice or noodle. My husband decided to have rice. He thought the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. He also really liked the black pepper sauce that he picked to go with the pork chop (I know you can also pick a mushroom sauce but I don't recall if there was a 3rd sauce you can choose from or not). Portion wise, this is more than enough for one person since you are getting 2 pork chops. This is actually one of my mom's favorite dishes to order when she goes to any Hong Kong style cafes too. ----------------------------------- (Total= $34.23 after tax, prior to tip) Service was minimal. I spoke both Cantonese and English (well actually my husband spoke English and I spoke in Cantonese. I am just trying to make myself speak Cantonese more) so you shouldn't really have a problem ordering here. I really like the food and I am glad this place does open late. And it was pretty busy as time progressed while we were here. We also saw a few large groups come in and the staff moving quickly to put tables together to accommodate these big groups. Overall, we had a positive dining experience and would come back.

    Food: 3/5 Service: 2/5…read moreAmbiance: 3/5 This review is based solely on my personal experience, particularly regarding the service I received today is not a food critique. I've been here before, but today (7/29) was by far my worst experience. I was seated at approximately 10:15 AM, but for more than 20 minutes, no staff member came by to ask if I was ready to order. During that time, I saw staff members cleaning the table next to me on the left and being attentive to the table on my right, while no one checked on me. With breakfast service nearing its end, I finally had to flag down a staff member for assistance, and I was told to wait. My order was eventually taken at 10:55 AM -- more than 30 minutes after I was seated. What made the experience even more frustrating was that right after my order was taken, the table next to me was cleaned and a new guest was seated. A staff member approached her almost immediately to take her order. I left feeling overlooked and neglected. The way I was treated compared with the guests around me was extremely disappointing and made me feel as though I was being disregarded. I've been here before and had a better experience, which is why today's service was especially disappointing. I hope management will take this feedback seriously and ensure that all guests receive the same level of attentiveness and respect.

Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it.

(4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

The partitions reminded me a lot of Covid times, but it did create this semi intimate space for each table to have better conversation with each other. We came with 5 people and ordered 4 dishes to share. The average of each dish was about 30 dollars but the portions are extremely generous. The fish maw, shrimp paste, dried shrimp, mustard greens hot pot came out first. They were out of fish maw and wouldn't replace the ingredient with anything else or give us a discount, so we just had shrimp and greens in the soup. The soup had a good balance of fish and seafood flavours and went well with the slightly bitter mustard greens. The fried black tiger prawn with dried fish and garlic came next alongside the dried scallop and egg white fried rice. The prawns were such a visually stunning dish and the aroma was incredible! The prawns were huge, slightly juicy and packed a ton of flavour, it paired well with the egg white fried rice. The chestnut chicken hotpot came out last. It was a nice, hearty, umami dish. The chestnut and green onions melted in your mouth, which was great, but the chicken itself was a little dry and had lots of bones in it. Overall everything was well cooked and tasty, but nothing was a particular standout. It just felt a bit expensive for what you get. Lobster was $40/lb and minimum of 4lbs so we didn't try it, but it looked great from peeking at other tables. I'd recommend coming with a large group of people so you can split a variety of seafood to try.

    Henry's Cuisine is technically a Cantonese restaurant, but there are many dishes on the menu which…read moreare a fusion of Cantonese Chinese and Vietnamese cooking styles. We had a family get-together and were able to order a variety of dishes. Our table ordered chestnut and chicken in a clay pot, bean curd in brown sauce, water spinach with spicy beans, Vietnamese-style deep-fried fish, sautéed clams with black bean, and the House Special Vietnamese-style sautéed lobster with braised soft noodles. The first five dishes were delivered quickly, giving us time to enjoy them before the lobster and noodles arrived. I think the lobster came last because of the prep time--and because it was the meal's grand finale. When you order as many dishes as we did, it wouldn't be unusual to prefer some items over others. But on this occasion, I couldn't find fault with a single dish. I also suspect that this restaurant is geared toward group meals, as the serving size of each plate is quite large.

If you know, you know. Forget standing in a line long enough to finish 8 Mile waiting for the "real" dim sum experience-this spot is too busy quietly running circles around the competition. Little Kanupe and I started the morning absolutely hangry (one of my baby soldiers) after striking out at another place (we'll leave them unnamed to protect the innocent). One quick Yelp audible later and we landed at HK Dim Sum. Best comeback since B-Rabbit dropped the mic. The first thing you'll notice is the size of the hand cared for master pieces. Run here for a quick FIFA break, but dont think you're ordering "a little something." Every bite delivers. The chow mein was memorable, so memorable with that wok hay kiss on every noodle just right. Smoky, savory, and ridiculously addictive. Every dish hit with that same "one more bite" energy, and somehow everything showed up almost before we finished ordering. No carts, no gimmicks, no unnecessary fanfare, just legit dim sum crazy great flavor. HK Dim Sum earned a rock-solid five stars. Din Tai Fung is King in most circles, but this place is the Daenerys Dragon Queen dominator. I'm so happy to be part of this sharing of secrets. BTW get the Shumai, chowmein and har gow as starters. Explore the menu. I'm comin back soon and i'm near TJ lol.

They have a new menu and we ordered the Minced Pork & Egg Rice. This is the non-gravy/sauce version like some local restaurants are starting to do. Break the runny egg yolk and mix everything together. It was pretty good. We also ordered the pan fried turnip cake which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's better than many dim sum restaurant versions. Also got their beef rice roll again. Their rice rolls are always a hit. Don't forget to order their HK lemon iced tea on the side. It pairs well with everything especially on a hot summer day. Good air conditioning. Lots of indoor seating. Great service. Highly recommend!

Interior is hardly decorated but has statement black and red tables and chairs haha. No one was dining in, but it seemed like Steam Fresh was popular for takeout. For us, a black sesame roll (could be a snack or dessert), four orders of steamed pork siu mai, two orders of juicy pork dumplings (soup dumplings), and a beef chow fun with soy sauce dish totaled to a little over $55. Everything came out piping hot and packaged well for takeout. We only waited about 15min, which was not bad at all. We really liked the siu mai and chow fun. Both were savory and addicting. Siu mai were especially juicy and meaty; they definitely satisfied our dim sum cravings. Soup dumplings were ok - I found the wrapper to be doughy and the filling kinda plain. The black sesame roll had an interesting rolled look and a sticky, chewy, jelly-like texture. It tasted like lightly sweetened black sesame paste mixed into what seemed like a combination of mochi and agar. The small parking lot in the back is free. We got lucky finding a spot in the late morning, but when we were ready to back out after getting our food, cars were either circling the lot or waiting for someone to leave.
