    Orange Peel Chicken Lunch
    Erick G.

    I use to go to Grandview ALL the time as a kid back when this place use to be on California Blvd across from Huntington Hospital. They also have another Grandview Palace over in the east side of Pasadena next to guitar center. Grandview is a Pasadena Classic. I came in during lunch time on Friday morning and it was generally pretty slow. We were sat quickly next to a window. The busser/ Server was very attentive and had a strong sense of urgency. Water refill happened instantly and he could anticipate our needs as they came. We ordered and the food came out suspiciously quick. Maybe like 10 minutes tops but it felt like 5. I gave my fiancé the eyebrow raise and said "we probably got some leftovers or something that was sitting out. This came out way too quick" but then we took our first bites and our food was sooo goood. The orange chicken was a bit too acidic but salt fixed that up. Overall 25$ for all this food is a steal so no complaints here. Street Parking is kind of rough in old town Colorado but there are parking structures all around within walking distance. Ambiance was pretty chill and casual. You can tell this place is really only recognized by the Pasadena locals and the elders who heard of this place back in the day. It was generally an older crowd. The outdated interior and worn out menus had a certain type of charm to it but with food prices that low I wouldn't expect a huge renovation on the establishment or material any time soon. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    Egg Drop Soup - sooo oily!

    This is was my families go to spot for Chinese food, but ever since they moved the food is totally different. I ordered 2 soups today and the egg drop soup is like drinking oil. The food is usually so fresh and flavorful. I have now gone to the new location 3 times and I think it's time to find a new spot.

    Delicious Chinese food!! This is a great restaurant, it's very casual but the food is delicious. The portions are good and food arrives very quick. We've gone here a few times and honestly everything that we've tried we liked. We've been to high end Asian food and if honestly doesn't compare. This food is by far the best and the prices are great too. I definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area.

    We have been visiting this spot for years with my in laws. The food is very good and it comes out piping hot and tastes delicious. Our fav is the special fish dish. It's like battered and fried fish in a yummy savory soy and garlic sauce. The walnut prawns are also crispy and delicious too. I love the pan fried noodles they use, they are thick and they will add extra sauce if you request. The service is friendly and they are kind. Oh one time they saw Casey affleck here on Christmas! So hey maybe he's a regular? Hah.

    Dropped by here since we were in the neighborhood and it looked good. From the reviews and vibe, it…read moreseemed like it would be a lot like Joy in Highland Park. Unfortunately, it's nothing like Joy. Parking wasn't too easy on a weekday afternoon. We had to park across the street on a residential street. But, hey, parking at Joy is a pain too. Maybe that's a good sign. We walked in. No line (unlike Joy). But the layout and ordering system is very much like Joy. They even have the cooler with drinks to the right when you walk in the door. Some of the menu items sounded similar to Joy, so we were pretty excited to give them a try. I went for the vegan tofu over rice and a side cucumber/tofu salad. My wife ordered the pork belly over rice and the chicken wings. We both also got a black cold-brew coffee. The total: $68.51. Oof. I think Joy is cheaper. Food came out quickly, just like Joy. The cucumber salad had baked tofu in it (rather than tofu skin), and the cucumbers were just chopped up into tiny pieces, rather than smashed, which is the way I prefer it. While there was supposed to be chili-crisp oil on it, it was actually pretty bland. Meh. Next for me came the (vegan) tofu over rice. It included some pickled vegetables, which kind overpowered the dish. It was a strange choice. I've had pickled vegetables with Chinese food before (my wife is from Hong Kong), but these kind of overpowered the dish. It also included some carrots, which I think were also pickled, giving the dish a sort of Vietnamese vibe, but not in a good way. It was pretty much all I could taste. Adding a little chili oil helped balance the flavors a bit, but not much. As a pescatarian, I couldn't try my wife's dish. But it was basically the same as mine, and she was just as underwhelmed. She said the chicken wings were the best part of her meal, but they certainly weren't amazing. In conclusion, the chicken wings were OK and the cold-brew coffee was delicious. I think this place is mostly catering to average white hipsters who come for the vibe, rather than people looking for authentic Taiwanese street food. I really wanted to like this place, because it does have a cool vibe, and everyone working there seems nice. But unlike Joy, this meal just made me sad.

Bowls of steamed rice cost $2.50, and we each got one. Portions are generously large and worth the cost; we took leftovers home. The tea offered to us tasted good. The slippery shrimp had a nice crisp with a pleasant blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors. There's a slight spice from the red chili that felt mild on my tongue. This was our first time trying out the dish, and we liked it the most. The orange chicken tasted solid, and it had a slightly crispy texture. For some reason, the rice had an aftertaste I wasn't familiar with, but it was still fresh. There was a fortune cookie at the end of our meal. I'd come back for the slippery shrimp and order something other than the orange chicken. The restaurant opened at 11:30 am, and we were one of the first customers to dine in. The ambience was quiet and relaxed, but they got busier as many more people arrived. Service was good as the staff packed our leftovers in containers for us. Our server asked us where we were from as he was used to seeing regulars during the time we visited. Before we exited, we took some time to see framed photos of celebrities who visited Yang Chow before, including Conan O'Brien and Magic Johnson.

    Perfect family dim sum experience for us…read more We took out my parents and in-laws for dim sum: my parents' very first time ever. We did wait about an hour, but honestly I didn't mind at all because it gave us a chance to relax, talk, and catch up as a family. Once we were seated, my parents were immediately impressed with the decor: elegant and cultural without feeling overly modern or cold. And can we talk about the tea kettles? They looked like literal pieces of art being poured at the table. Ordering was super easy with the QR code system, so my husband handled the whole spread: shumai dumplings, chicken feet, sesame balls, and more. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The ENTIRE table agreed on one thing: the chili oil condiment deserves to be sold in bottles to take home. It was that good. Smoky, just the right amount of spicy, and addictive. Now for the real test: my in-laws. They've been to *many* dim sum places and are not easily impressed. They declared this place to have the best chicken feet that they've ever had: meat easily sucked off the bone, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and perfectly seasoned. High praise coming from dim sum veterans. Most importantly, my parents' first dim sum experience couldn't have been better. They loved everything from the ambiance to the food to the overall experience. My husband and I want to come back to explore more of the menu because there's clearly so much more to try

The service is consistently great... attentive, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Fair warning for anyone new to Sichuan cuisine, the dominant flavor is "spicy". That said, the dishes are not just about heat... they're layered, aromatic, and incredibly well-balanced. Every dish I've tried has been outstanding, both in flavor and presentation. If you're a fan of bold, authentic flavors and reliable service, this spot is definitely worth visiting. Tip - If you're new to the cuisine, I strongly recommend getting everything MILD spicy. I've been told by some of my colleagues that MILD spicy is still pretty spicy, so be warned. With that said, strongly recommend the dishes below. Lamb with Cumin 11/10 - My favorite dish here by far. Aromatic, flavorful, and the spices are just on point. Dan Dan Noodles 9/10 - Solid and consistently good. The sauce is properly seasoned and truly compliments the perfectly cooked noodles. Shredded Cabbage with Pork 9/10 - Not to be confused with twice cooked pork. This dish is so simple and bland looking, but it's packed with flavor... so good! Garlic Pork Belly 8/10 - This is a cold dish. The meat was perfectly cooked and properly coated in chili oil. Solid and consistently good.
