    A small little shop that sells pork jerky! I love this stuff so I was glad that San Gabriel Valley had something like this. You can order the jerky by pound and you have a different selection of meats flavors to choose from. I ordered the Black Pepper Jerky, the Original Jerky, as well as the Spicy Jerky as well. Oh, I also got the Bacon Jerky too. The first thing that really stood out was the tenderness of the meat. It's so good. It's savory, its salty, its sweet. You kinda have all of that encompassed into the jerky, and you also get a good bang for your buck for the amount you get which I think is worth it. The jerky isn't cheap either so don't expect it to be like $10 or less. You can order it by 1/4, 1/2, or a pound. Anyways, this stuff was really good and I recommend coming here!

    Now that I've finally visited Fragrant Jerky, there's no turning back. I've had it bookmarked forever and finally visited to share some with my family. This type of jerky is sweet, sticky, and savory. The spicy versions are subtle and build at the end. While I wanted to buy everything, we opted to try the spicy beef, pepper beef, soft pork, and spicy pork bacon. I have only opened and tried 2. But so far I'm happy! My family (reluctant to go initially) now want to return to take back a few bags as gifts from CA. We tried the following: Soft pork (5/5) the pork is sweet yet savory, and soft but not mushy Spicy pork bacon (5/5) if you like fatty pork, this one delivers. The spicy taste is not apparent until the end as it finishes spicy. This is a small shop that has only a glass case showcasing the various jerky options. All are sold by the 1/4 lb, 1/2 lb, 1 lb, and prices are clearly marked. You have the option of leaving pieces whole or have the jerky cut (except bacon types). I left the pieces whole because I prefer cutting it myself (with kitchen scissors). But now I'm curious how the cut version looks. Service is efficient. The jerky is packaged in resealable bags. It all looks very clean, neat, and presentable. Good for gifts. Parking is ample even though most stalls were taken. I'll definitely returning and will likely be back many times for myself and my family. LOCATION: 4/5 FOOD: 5/5 SERVICE: 4/5 VALUE: 4/5 AMBIANCE: 4/5 PET FRIENDLY: n/a CLEANLINESS: 5/5 PARKING: 5/5

    Okay the original bacon is absolutely ridiculous. It's so freakin good it's unreal. Moist, chewy, sweet, fatty....just so good. And served warm as it should be. Both my parents grew up in Singapore and I remember standing in line for the jerky out there. People would wait in line for hours for the best place. So yummy. The original pork was pretty good. The spicy beef was good, the spicy seasoning on it made it very tasty which makes me really excited to try the spicy bacon next time. Highly recommend.

    This is one of my to go place in LA. I love their pork jerky. I bought it to share with my family and friends. They also love it. :)

    Beef, pork, and bacon jerky!

    Came highly recommended. I can't wait to try. They sell it by the quarter pound. About $30/pound.

    My preference for jerky is now forever altered thanks to Fragrant Jerky. I find myself coming back to this place if I'm ever in the area. They have a variety of jerky, all sweet, savory, fatty, and uniquely addicting. You're able to buy by the pound, and if you're like me who needs to walk out with more than one flavor, the $$ adds up. I always find myself with a bag of the original pork, but they do have spicy and non spicy options of both beef and pork.

    This is not my first purchase from them. I have bought from them six times in person and twice online. This is my second online purchase, but this time I never received their package. Not even the postman's vehicle showed up. I provided photos from our home camera, but they accused me of fraud and even insulted me. It's extremely absurd and ridiculous for me, I'm the buyer, they telling me to claim compensation from the post office,but they are the seller and the holder of the post office account. This after-sales service is the worst I have ever seen, without a doubt. Please do not buy from them. They even threatened me with my information? I have already decided to report this to the police.

    I got 1lb of the original pork jerky. It's good. I still prefer the ones from another place called Champion Provisions (inside Focus Plaza), but unfortunately, their business closed.

The 4 of us especially liked the white fish with basil and the shrimp with snow peas. The rice noodles with seafood and the kung pao were also good. That said, we like our food spicier, so we asked for chili oil and limes. Some dishes did have vegetables, but when I go again I'll order a vegetable dish. Service was stellar - personal, but never intrusive. I liked that we were seated immediately and still given time for our late guests to arrive. Food arrived quickly once we ordered. They were gracious about splitting the tab afterwards, but could easily have asked whether we wanted separate checks since we were 3 unrelated sets of adults that arrived separately. So, what could have been better? The chafing spoons were too small and too few, leaving us to pull the chafing plate to the edge of the lazy Susan and scrape. My dinner plate was too small, so I made a bit of a mess while eating. The main room is noisy, even with some empty tables, Next time I'll ask for a table in the quiet section (to the right when coming in the main door.) I've driven past Newport Seafood many times and not gone in because the parking lot was already full, and it's not my style to park elsewhere and walk over. However, on Monday at 5 PM, we found ample parking. All that said, Newport Seafood seemed at its best when serving special meals to large families all around us. I will think of them next time we celebrate a special family occasion.

    I recently came back here again for a quick Sunday dinner and here are some of the key highlights:…read more * Parking was easy this time as I was able to find an available spot in the parking lot immediately. * I was able to check in 5 minutes ahead of time via Yelp and only waited 5 more minutes in person before receiving a text that our table was ready on Sunday at 7:30 PM. * One of the most efficient services for Chinese restaurants in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) area as the staff wasted no time serving food, refilling water, and responding to a check request. * Ordered slightly different dishes this time and C1 Xiao Long Bao (juicy pork dumplings 8 pieces -$13.00) and C5 Beef Roll (6 pieces - $16.00) were A-tier dishes. Xiao Long Bao's flavor profile tasted more like steamed dumplings. Beef roll didn't taste as good as I remembered (probably because it had slightly less hoisin sauce), but it was still a good beef roll nonetheless. * Personally G4 Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon ($15.99) was a surprising discovery and an S-tier dish. Basically think of it as beef chow fun, but replace flat noodles with udon and add egg and bell pepper - excellent flavor profile. C3 Pan Fried Pork Bao (6 pieces - $13.00) were comparable to the ones from Kang Kang Food Court. 4.5 stars for the food with 4 items enough to feed 3 to 4 adults. I would say their noodle dishes like Beef Noodle Soup / Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon / Fujian Style Fried Vermicelli are slightly better than their dumpling dishes. Bump it up to 5-star for the excellent service. P.S. - There's another new location in Diamond Bar.

Second visit almost exactly 1 year later, and this place still doesn't disappoint!…read more We pulled in to the parking lot around 8pm on a Saturday night, and the very ample parking lot was packed to the gills. There are several restaurants in the lot, but Mr. Dragon Noodle House seemed to be the busiest with several groups of people waiting outside for a table. I called and was told they're open until 9pm, but if you arrive before 8:40pm they will still seat you and you can order and dine. He quoted a 10-20 minute wait which didn't seem possible, but we took a chance and placed our name on the waitlist. I love the tablets that most restaurants in SGV use. It's so efficient! The host handed us a laminated menu and an order form after we checked in so we could figure out what we wanted even before we sat down. They get high marks for efficiency! Within 10 minutes, we were called to our waiting table. They are a well oiled machine! As soon as a party leaves, a team of 3 smiling staff converge on the table to clear the dishes, clean the table and re-set for the next patrons. We ordered our drinks and a Popcorn Chicken appetizer. Hubby says this is the best popcorn chicken he's had to date, and he's a bit of a snob! No dipping sauces needed. He ordered "No Spicy" and they brought chili powder on the side. They fried what I believe was fresh basil with the chicken and it was so tasty, I would request extra next time! It's well seasoned and crispy. The portion is easily generous enough to share with 4 or more people. Their 0% Sugar Green Tea is served icy cold in a huge beer stein, and is so refreshing! A perfect accompaniment to the meal. It comes in many flavors as well but I didn't want anything sweet. We shared an order of their Hot Oil Shrimp, Pork & Cabbage wontons in a bowl. Delicious, but if you're not a heat seeker don't forget to request it "mild". Now for what I considered the star of the table, their House Special Beef Noodle Soup. This is a dish that I love and am always looking for the best bowl.. and Mr Dragon is high up there. Don't come at me, but we had heard the hype about Corner Beef Noodle House and tried theirs last year. In an evening without a crowd we were virtually ignored when we walked in and I had to accost someone to seat us. The soup wasn't nearly as good as Mr Dragon, and their service couldn't compare. I'll have to give them one more chance. There was no room for improvement at Mr Dragon Noodle House. Beefy broth, tender chunks of beef and perfectly bouncy noodles. Yum!

However, when the server started handing out numbers, they skipped us and gave a number to the people who arrived after us. We asked why we were skipped, and the server told us that the group behind us had four people while we only had two. The server specifically told us that it was okay because we would still be seated before them. Later, the group of four unexpectedly left. Instead of moving us forward, the restaurant gave their number to another party. That party was originally two people, but they were then allowed to change the number of people in their party and ended up being seated before us. We reminded the same server about what they had told us earlier -- that we would still be seated first. The response was basically, "There's nothing I can do. I only go by the numbers." That was extremely frustrating and confusing. If the restaurant only follows the numbers, then why were we skipped in the first place? And if the staff member told us we would still be seated first, why was that explanation completely ignored later? We were the first ones there and simply expected the waiting system to be fair and consistent. We weren't asking for special treatment -- we just wanted the same rules to apply to everyone. Unfortunately, the way this was handled left us feeling that the waiting system was unfair and that the staff did not take responsibility for what they had told us.

Almost any of their braised meat rice/noodles are just really good (popular ones are braised pork rice or braised chicken leg rice). Interior space is also very roomy and comfortable for big groups or cozy meals Parking is pretty easy since they have a lot in their back entrance and they used to let you park underground as well but the building's new management started closing the gates at 6pm because they're just sad and unfriendly human beings lol but luckily the surrounding area has many places to park.
