    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 ALSO, THE BLACK MENU POSTED ON THE WALL IS OUTDATED - PLEASE REFER TO THE PAPER MENU VERSION.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
    Erik G.

    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.

I feel like you get a mixed bag with servers. Most are super nice but we once had a server who didn't even ask my family how they wanted their eggs done, which was kind of weird.

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.

Restaurant was not busy at the time, our food came out pretty quickly. At the end of the meal, they offered to help pack our leftover food along with sauce, superior service.

Skin was thin, crispy but still had a delicate layer of gelatinous fat under that's so addicting and great pairing with the complimentary pot of white rice.

Let's start with the lobster. They have about 45 different ways you can have it prepared. We went with the traditional style without the noodles. We just couldn't justify paying another $20 for noodles, and honestly, I don't think we missed much. The lobster had plenty of flavor, but compared with other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I expected. Considering we paid around $180-$200 for the lobster alone, that was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Vietnamese-style fish with black pepper. The fish was good, but again, not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. 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.
