    Absolutely loved this place! Every dish was packed with flavor, but the sizzling beef with Chinese celery stole the show. The beef was juicy and tender, coated in a savory, slightly peppery sauce. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic, comforting Chinese food!

    Everything was good. Quite a wait for Saturday night, as expected. The atmosphere and set up is like Asian street style restaurants. They also got ktv rooms for those that love to sing and squeeze in some good food. The pitcher of Sapporo was pretty good, didn't taste watered down like other places. The classic HK style stir fry flat noodles with beef was also on point. Love to come back and try other dishes.

    The grilled lamb skewers and chicken wing were delicious, nicely seasoned, and served hot from the grill. The meat was juicy with a smoky, slightly spicy flavor, and the grilled vegetables were a great addition. This is a fun spot for late-night food with friends.

    Came in on a weekday evening around 9:30 PM. Very chill, laid-back vibes- kind of like casual Chinese street food with Chinese music in the background. We were seated right away, and the service was friendly. We tried the beef and lamb skewers, which were flavorful and tender. The large family-style beef stew was a solid choice too- great portion size and bold, savory flavors. Also ordered the tomato beef stew, which was a nice change of flavor with its tangy kick. The restaurant is located in a plaza, so parking wasn't difficult. It's open late (till 2 AM), so this is a perfect late-night spot to grab a bite. Would return for the vibes and the solid food!

    The food is very authentic, it taste almost like what you can find in street food vendor in China, however, they are heavily seasoned and a bit on the greasy side. It is good to have it once a while. Service is prompt and good. The decor has a good vibe

    Every dish hit our taste buds perfectly! It was so delicious that we didn't even have time to eat the complimentary side dishes Highly recommended -- we'll definitely be back next time!

    I can't believe I've never been here before! The entrance is a bit of a hole in the wall, but the interior is impressive! There's a giant bumblebee statue in the lobby as you walk in & the restaurant has Hong Kong eatery vibes. There's also a late night karaoke room that looks amazing for parties! The food is really good here! I was very impressed by the hotpot where they put in chicken then the giant oysters . The smashed tomato beef, the garlic seafood, and the shredded chicken salad are must tries. I definitely coming with a group here to experience all the shareable family style dishes. They also have cool drinks like the sangria lit on . Service was very attentive and nice for a Hong Kong styled restaurant, we were very pleased by the experience.

    this used to be my favorite skewer restaurant in the SGV but they recently took out my favorite/one of their most popular items (the duck blood). Their portion sizes have also slightly decreased, and the place feels a little colder than before. The staff are still friendly but it doesn't hit as hard anymore.

    This place is so cute! They have outdoor patio and indoor and I think they also have 4 private kareoke rooms? Their skewers all tasted so good and fresh, their intestine, beef, and even their dishes tasted good. Will be back!

    It's located on the second floor of the Life Plaza. There's outdoor seating, indoor seating, and there's private karaoke rooms too. You can waitlist on the tablet in the waiting area and for our party of 2 we waited maybe 5 minutes maximum. Each table has a little "cart" next to it with the call button, utensils, extra dishes, hand sanitizer, a pitcher of water, napkins, and the spicy and cumin powder. We also got a complimentary dish of these yummy chips that remind me of Bugles but in rectangular form. Ordering occurs through Chowbus with the QR code on the table. All the food comes with a picture, and you just add things to your cart, hit submit, you'll hear a ding from the back of the restaurant, and the servers will bring the food to your table. If you want to order more or dessert for later on, you can keep adding stuff to your cart. When you're ready to pay just select that you are and a worker will come to facilitate you with that. Most of the items on the menu are freshly made/grilled so it may take a bit of time, so it might be best to stagger your orders or plan accordingly. In the mean time there's C-pop playing, people just vibing hardcore (playing this dice game with each other), huge projector screen playing Chinese dubbed Poke'mon and Kung Fu Panda, and they even have a Chinese mask dance here too! Did NOT expect that since I've only seen it at fancy rich people looking restaurants like The X Pot by Wagyu House or like Haidilao or something. I would never expect to see that at a beer / karaoke bar, but this was the BEST mask dance performance in comparison to the fancier restaurants I've seen it at. WAY MORE interaction with audience, the performer also tossed freebies into the crowd, and did a viral Tiktok/Douyin dance. The performance also felt longer too. HUGE W for our group hands down. For food we got the: 1) Snails: -Unfortunately, I've already forgotten the exact name of this dish but it's the appetizer version and not the main course version. This comes with 8 snails. -The snails are drenched in their delicious sauce that's made with garlic, green onions, a bit of chili pepper, and cilantro. There's a nice tangy sour, but rich taste to the sauce and it was so good that we started drizzling it on our separate bowls of white rice afterwards. -The snails are a tad more difficult to take out of their shells and their "foot" is still attached so make sure to spit that out, but overall, they're fairly tender and taste great with the sauce. None of that weird sandiness that you get with mollusk sometimes. For the cost and the amount of snails we got, this was a great appetizer. 2) Duck Blood: -You can choose between the options of spicy or sour/spicy, we opted for sour/spicy to get the best of both flavor profiles. -I have never actually tried duck blood (only pork blood) before this and the dish is actually quite different than the image on Chowbus. It's not just a tray of sliced duck blood but a stew of sliced duck blood with glass noodles and onions. -The duck blood is very silky and smooth and doesn't crumble like pork blood. There is also less of an iron taste. We enjoyed this a lot. -The noodles absorbed the mostly sour but slightly spicy (it is very subtle) soup and was flavored nicely. -Didn't expect that form this dish so was pleasantly surprised. 3) Skewers (chicken gizzard - 4 pieces, lamb - 4 pieces, 1 piece Chinese sausage, 1 piece sweet sausage - Taiwanese style): -You have the standard spicy and cumin powder at your table for skewers. The gizzards had a nice slight crunch to them and the lamb was tender and moist. You can't go wrong with foods in weiner form so that was good too. -Great snack type food if you're not super hungry. 4) Chocolate Mushroom Pudding: -That's not what the official name of the menu item is, but when you see it on the menu, you'll immediately recognize it. -Super cute and unique, I've never had a dessert like this before and I honestly say that it's better than the American equivalent of a "dirt cake or pudding". -You have a chocolate top and vanilla stem mushroom made of icy ice cream (it's not as creamy so you tell it was milk/liquid frozen in a mold, but still good) on a bed of almond pudding with dirt from crushed Oreos and Ovaltine, and there's rainbow fruit jellies scattered about. -It's a tasty dish that utilizes a lot of different dessert flavors and textures. Super good and a worth to try dish for sure. Already planning to head back one day with some people who can drink and will definitely try more of their menu.

I love a good dive bar, so I was genuinely excited to check this place out with friends. As Pasadena locals, we were hoping to find a new nearby local spot. When we ordered our drinks, the bartender told us, "$10, cash only." No problem, we were perfectly happy to pay cash. Less than five minutes after receiving our drinks, we were met with glares, negative attitudes, and a bartender who came back and said, "Yeah, that's $10." We were confused because we hadn't been told to pay immediately and thought we could settle up after finishing our drinks. She then gestured toward the ATM, snapped her fingers, and said, "Make it snappy," before rolling her eyes and walking away. The service was so rude and unwelcoming that I left no tip, the first time I've ever done that. The atmosphere also felt unwelcoming to anyone who wasn't a regular. If you're new to the area or hoping to enjoy a drink with friends, don't expect a warm reception. We won't be back.

There is plenty of seating inside the food hall and the bar section is a dedicated 21+ section so there is some dedicated bar seating. They have last call at 9:30 since they close at 10 pm on Fridays so we made sure to get our last orders in. There is plenty of parking on the side and behind the food hall and on the street.

Because the wait time was too long for that, we decided to try The Dive Oyster Bar -- and man are we sure glad we did. We got a total of five items: a bowl of clam chowder, the soft shell crab appetizer, the roasta, the traditional pan roast with the house speciality protein (with the crab on the side because of my dad's crab allergy), and the jambalaya, which for the last three we ate with medium heat. We shared everything (except for the crab appetizer because, again, crab allergy for dad) and found the food to be delicious, with each entree coming out tasting better than the last. Personally, the roasta was my favorite with the pan roast as a close second. Very flavorful dishes with medium heat being a good level for us (wasn't spicy for our Korean palates). Service was great, our server (unfortunately forgot his name) was attentive and quick with our requests, and although he forgot a side of rice, it was for the best as the food had settled in our stomachs by then and we were content with what we ordered. The restaurant itself is well maintained with ample table space and appropriate lighting, though the music from the evening DJ was a tad bit too loud to hear from across the table. Not a big mood killer for us, though mostly because the good was that good. We're not from this area, so the odds of coming here again are relatively slim -- but should the opportunity present itself, it'll be more than fate this time to take us through these doors once again.
