    Stopped by on Sunday, 4/19/26. I believe this is my first time trying this place out - it's been such a long time since I've been inside this food court plaza (maybe in over a decade). Located inside the GW Supermarket, there are other foodie places adjacent as well and they are all extremely affordable! THIS PLACE ACCEPTS CASH ONLY. ALSO, THE BLACK MENU POSTED ON THE WALL IS OUTDATED - PLEASE REFER TO THE PAPER MENU VERSION. I ordered the following to go: - 1 seafood with chow mein (crispy noodle) = $12 (however in the paper menu it says $11.50, I believe they charged me an extra $0.50 since I opted in for the crispy noodle instead of the soft noodle) - 1 yang chow fried rice = $10 - 1 beef chow mein = $11 SUBTOTAL = $33 TAX = $3.20 OVERALL TOTAL = $36.20 The wait time took around 10 minutes. It gets really hot in the dining area so you might be a bit uncomfortable dining indoors and/or waiting for your order. THE MOST AFFORDABLE PLACE YOU CAN FIND - AUTHENTIC CHINESE FOOD.

    Located in a food court in a supermarket with other popular food stalls. You honestly have to try each stall but this tends to be the busiest one. Affordable Chinese food that will keep you full without making you go in debt. Recommend their wonton noodle soup and their crispy noodle with beef. It's #10 on their photo menu.

    Wonton Noodles Soup
    Ben P.

    Located at the Food Court inside the Garvey Square Shopping Center. This little mom and pop restaurant, serving a variety of Chinese food, cook to order. You order the food at the counter. They will call your number when your order is ready. You can eat there at the food court or order to go. I ordered the Wonton Noodles Soup. The portion was pretty good for the price. It was delicious. Noodles was tasty and their Wonton is bigger than most places that serve Wonton Noodles Soup. The broth was light. They gave you the chilli oil to spice up the flavor. The ambiance is ok. Since this is in the food court area, seating can be tough to find during lunch time. Overall, the food is good. I suggest you get the food to go instead.

    stewed brisket wonton lo mein

    I've wanted to come here for a long time, but my wife wasn't interested. Conveniently located in the GW Supermarket food hall, they specialize in Cantonese-style dishes. You won't find a better deal in the area! It's a great value. I ordered the stewed brisket wonton lo mein, as a friend, Cindy S., had it before. I should have read her review more carefully; she said it was decent, and that's exactly how I felt. The dumplings were okay, but I found a hard piece of cartilage in one, which I had to spit out. I'm glad my son wasn't eating it, as it could be a choking hazard. The egg noodles were also okay, nothing special. The best part was the brisket smothered in gravy. Overall, it was a decent dish, but I wouldn't go there for it. If I do go back, I'll try their #1 bestseller, the wonton noodle soup.

    Harlam kitchen is pretty decent for what it is. Located in a food court, we decided to give it a try. The menu is pretty simple with many variations of similar dishes. In terms of the food we got these. Chinese Donut Roll with Rice Sheet - I actually enjoyed this. It's simple but good. Pretty inexpensive too. (4.5/5) Wonton and Beef Stew Noodle Soup - It's not the best noodle soup I've had but its pretty decent. Comes in plastic bowl, not sure if it was going to melt or not since the soup was piping hot. Wontons were aight and beef stew was tasty. (3.5/5) Beef with Fried Noodles - I enjoyed this. Simple but the noodles were crispy and the gravy was tasty. (4/5) Overall solid food for a pretty good price. They are cash only so if you plan to come, make sure to bring cash.

    So disappointed

    This used to be my go-to for wonton noodle soup but it is under new management as of last year and it's not the same anymore unfortunately! This spot is located inside the food court of GW Supermarket so parking can be chaotic! It has a big parking lot but it's shared with many other businesses. Service was okay, not too friendly or welcoming Menu is very extensive and has a good variety of chow mein, lo mein, rice noodles, fried rice, and wonton noodle soup. Pricing is reasonable ($10-12+). Got the wonton noodle soup ($7.75) and was very disappointed. The wontons used to be huge and stuffed with pork, big pieces of shrimp, and super delicious. Not only have the wontons shrunk in size but there is hardly any shrimp and pork inside! It also doesn't taste as delicious as it used to. It tastes dry and flavorless now unfortunately. The noodles are very hard to chew and just not the same. Won't recommend or return

    Located in the food court of the square market shopping plaza, this is definitely a bond fide low key and underrated Cantonese hole in the wall. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the quality of the food and the taste has never changed. Known for their delicious broth and traditional Cantonese dishes, you will not be disappointed. The go to dishes are the wonton noodle soup (with varieties of different types of meat), chicken curry, rice sheet noodle with Chinese donut, and their dry beef chow mien/ chow fun. Service is speedy and efficient. Ask for their chili sauces to compliment their delicious dishes. Plenty of parking but the plaza can get busy on the weekends. Lastly, cash only.

    the wonton soup is good, but for me nothing special to it. the beef tripe is just ok for me.

    Wonton Noodle Soup and Rice Noodle Rolls
    Eric H.

    I haven't been to Harlam's Kitchen in many years, not since it used to have its own brick-and-mortar store. I thought Harlam's Kitchen was long gone but found out they relocated inside the GW Supermarket food court. Of course, I had to try them out again and reminisce about how good their 'jaleung' is. I ordered a Wonton Noodle Soup, Rice Noodle Rolls, Congee with Fish Fillet, and Chinese Donut with Rice Sheet Roll. My ultimate comfort food bundle! Everything tasted great, and I was surprised it all came out of that tiny food court kitchen. The only thing missing was more sauce on the rice noodle rolls, like sriracha, peanut sauce, and hoisin sauce. The food court is dingy and vacant, but don't let that fool you. The food here is solid and still retains the same recipes as years ago. I am excited to try their stir-fry dishes next time I visit again.

    Soy sauce chow mein, or "fried noodles chow mein"
    Jasmine N.

    It's been so many years since I've eaten here (back when there was an arcade next door). Back in the day their soy sauce chow mein was actually good, with a lot of wok hei, and supposedly they had changed owners a while back so it's not the same anymore but let's give it a try again. Definitely lighter in flavor, not as dark, not as enough wok hei as before but there were some noodle bits that charred a little more. They give a little container of chili oil but I honestly prefer it with sriracha. It's not the same as what I remember but it's still not bad, especially for the price of $6.50.

    Did they close down due to covid? Every time we try to go, we stop by or give them a call, it just rings and goes to a full answering machine. A letter on their gate in front says they'll be closed until March or April but that was months ago.?

    Stopped by 9/6/20 and they were closed. Asked a shop nearby and was told they've been closed since March.

It was our first time at Tam's and we weren't disappointed at all! Tam's has a breakfast menu with plenty of options. The two of us ordered two breakfast combos and each came with a drink, two appetizers and an entrée. My hubby ordered the cold Hong Kong milk tea, which required a $1 surcharge for cold drinks. I ordered the hot Hong Kong milk tea. Both milk teas were delicious--no complaints at all! We both ordered their jook and for our appetizers, we ended up trying all four options since each combo lets you choose two appetizers. Everything was yummy and the portions were generous enough for two people. If you're a party of three and aren't big eaters, I'd recommend ordering just two breakfast combos. There's a parking lot outside since the restaurant is located in a small shopping plaza, so parking wasn't an issue. I'll definitely bookmark this place for future visits whenever I'm in the area.

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.

Finally, I made the journey. And arrived for lunch, on a weekday. To come here and not order their iconic Signature dish, the House Special Newport Style Lobster, would be a sin. Imagine a trip that was almost 40 miles and an hour of traffic (one way), with no reward. It was time to experience the real thing. The signature dish. Walking in solo, I was given a booth. I liked that. On seating, I ordered a beverage to quench my thirst, catch my bearings and breath. Almost immediately, the servers kept bugging me to order. The place was barely 1/4th occupied. Whats the hurry. After all this, I had to repeatedly tell them, that i had already spoken with a server, regarding my order. Just wanted to relax first, catch my breath, sip my beverage. Coming here, I was aware that their tank lobsters would be in the 4-6 pound range. Good for, and ordered by, at least 3-4 people. So when I, as a solo diner, ordered a 4-pound lobster (with no other choice), just for myself, they began to leave me alone and give me more respect. The cut up wok prepared, House Special Newport Style Lobster, arrives wonderfully presented, with heaps of leeks, scallions and jalapenos. My kind of recipe. Truly unique and exceptional. There is no sauce, and only a mild flavor, yet tasty. My biggest concern here was (after reading numerous internet reviews), that the lobster would be rubbery and dry. Not so for me. I lucked out. Problem here is, while there is lots of meat (a 4 pound lobster will yield at the most, about a pound of meat), they do not have, or provide, the essential lobster cutlery, to do justice to this beautiful crustacean. I did ask though. They did not seem to care and told me to use my fork. LOL. Steamed rice is complimentary. So is a soup, with sweet and sour, being the only choice (I did not like this). Either way, my plan was to take leftovers (there was a lot), home, where I possess high class lobster cracking tools. And thank heavens I did. They were most useful, to crack and dig into all the lobster meat, that would have been inaccessible at the restaurant. With additional TLC, the leftovers held up well, to provide several additional lobster meals. Need to go back to try their enticing and reasonably priced variety of lunch specials (more seafood, choices minus lobster). Another sought after box on my list, is now checked.

We wanted to try the pea shoots, but they told us they were seasonal, so we ordered the garlic string beans instead. They were good and nicely garlicky, but nothing that made me say, "Wow!" The standout for me was the French-style filet mignon. It was cooked almost medium-rare, with lots of onions, and the flavor was really good. That dish came closest to earning five stars for me, although the portion was smaller than I expected. Our total bill was around $380, so for that price, I was expecting something much more exceptional. Service was fine. They changed our plates and took care of the little details, and luckily it wasn't very busy when we went. I've seen pictures of lines out the door, so I honestly don't know if we caught it on an off night or what the hype is about. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it wonderful or better than the other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried? Unfortunately, no. I'm glad we finally tried it because I had been curious for a long time, but would I come back? Most likely not. For all the hype and the price, I was expecting a lot more. I'm giving it 3 stars--good food, but not the amazing experience I was expecting from one of the top-rated lobster spots in the San Gabriel Valley. Parking is good.

    First of all Super Fly TNT full stop. HK Dim Sum is one of those tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss-it!…read moreThe cafe is tucked away amongst the cult-food hood of the San Gabriel Valley. 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.
