This cafe is such a hidden gem in West Covina. Located behind the mall, they serve protein bowl,…read moresandwiches, and cookies. The ambiance is chill and welcoming, as well as the friendly staff when they bring my order. I tried their pastrami tri-tip sandwich with the salad. The sandwich and the salad are elevated in both the presentation and the flavor. The sandwich has a huge size with thick layer of meat combined with coleslaw and swiss cheese that enhance the flavor while keeping its juiciness, while the salad comes out fresh with a little touch of ranch dressing. I highly recommend this place and I am willing to come back to try their other dishes. P.s. sorry no pictures because I was too hungry to eat the sandwich

If…read moreI didn't read deeper into the reviews, I would've been walking through the mall aimlessly trying to find it. Walking into the restaurant, it was packed to the gills, which you can expect for a Friday night. The hostess informed me for quick service to order by the takeout area. The gentleman who took my order was kind and quick to assist me. Since there was going to be a wait, he offered me water, and I accepted. I ordered the Chicken Katsu bowl, which is delicious. It has all the ingredients that are mentioned. I am not one for condiments, but the dressing was pretty good. Whomever created this should definitely update and mention that to enjoy the food you'll have to enter a more than likely packed restaurant to enjoy. Other than that this is a great late night option for food.

It's always my go-to, and I keep coming back just for it. That being said, I have to be honest about the pasta. Every time I've tried it, it's been pretty bland and didn't have much flavor. I wish it had a little more seasoning because it has potential. Overall, the chicken Caesar sandwich is absolutely to die for, and I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Went here for lunch because a friend really wanted to try it, so I treated…read more The first impression wasn't great. The place looked run-down, the TVs weren't even set up, and there was a trash can sitting outside in the middle of the dining area. The person who greeted us was friendly, but other than that, nobody else was there. We ordered two chicken fettuccine Alfredo dishes, and one had broccoli added. For the broccoli upcharge, I got four pieces. That's definitely not worth paying extra for. We didn't order drinks, appetizers, or sides. The fettuccine itself was just okay--it lacked flavor. The "garlic bread" was the biggest surprise: two Hawaiian rolls with garlic butter. Seriously... what is that? Each pasta was listed at $17.95, yet my total came to $48, and the math just wasn't adding up. I wasn't given an itemized receipt, which made it even more frustrating. After noticing my reaction, they brought us a salad with lettuce that looked brown and a small side of pasta. I'm guessing it was their way of making up for it, but that doesn't justify charging me without being transparent. To make matters worse, the bathroom was dirty, which is always a major red flag. My friend really wanted to try the restaurant, so I just let it go and paid. Looking back, I shouldn't have. Moral of the story: If your gut tells you something feels off, trust it and walk away. Don't stay just to be polite--it's your hard-earned money. This experience taught me that from now on, if something doesn't feel right, I won't hesitate to leave, no matter who I'm with or where I am. Transparency is everything to me. If you're not honest with your customers or you overcharge people, you've already earned 1 star in my book. I can GUARANTEE this is my first and last time her, I'm surprised I didn't get food poisoning.

Flavors were strong and did not leave any type of saltiness in my mouth. Tried out these two items. Grilled Beef & Egg Roll Combo - This was pretty good. Simple dish but the protein were really good. Beef had a nice flavor and not chewy. Egg rolls surprisingly was good and the fillings were solid. (4.5/5) Oxtail Pho - Really enjoyed this dish and the broth was very flavorful. Oxtail pieces were slightly tender (not completely fall off the bone but it had a nice chew). Noodles weren't overcooked and loved that the to go bowl it came in was easily able to eat as is. (5/5) Need try the restaurant next time but this spot definitely serves up some tasty Vietnamese food.
