I was actually here for something else. But they were surprisingly cheap and caught my attention at $8 for one item. Food was good. Chicken was a bit saltier but it was super delicious with white rice. The radish though was a bit older than expected so it was harder to bite. Downside: only cash/zelle/venmo read more

I used to come to this food court a lot back before Covid. This place has stayed the longest and hasn't moved! This place serves fast food Chinese style dishes that you can see, you can also order dishes à la carte but it's easy to just do the item combo deal (comes with rice/noodles and soup). I like seeing all the dishes displayed, the place looks better than before and less crowded of things in the back. They changed the menu display as well and it looks much simpler. For $15 I got 4 item combo (chicken, rice noodles, pork stew, eggplant). No drinks. I asked for noodles and rice (if you ask for extra rice instead it's $2 extra). So total was around $17. First, dining in means you get a tray with a pate of all the foods rather than a to go box. We ate at a table and they had extra bowls and cups for water if you ask. I think the noodles and rice were too hard or al dente, must be because it dried out from staying out too long(?). The chicken was the best dish, it was on the bone with a sweet and salty sauce which my son ate some too! Pork stew had radishes and was pretty good (just lots of bones so be careful). The eggplant was soft and flavorful from soaking up the sauce, a little spicy but not enough for me to avoid. The rice noodles (called ants climbing tree ? in mandarin) were a little spicy and also dry, but because it is mixed with the other dishes in the plate it eventually sailed up the liquid and rehydrated. The soup was vegetable soup? It tastes like water, might be to cleanse the palate instead of a soup. Overall, I liked the food, it was still good and I would come again for a quick meal! read more

Good value Chinese food, Fast and easy to-go. The soup is very bland, but you could say it washes your palate. The noodles were a bit tough like it was under cooked. Everything else on the plate was pretty good. The lady helping us was nice and helpful. The food court is bright and spacious, it has soft classical music playing on the speakers read more

Not your Panda Express when it comes to fast casual Chinese food. I appreciate this place I grew up eating at because of the diversity of items at a somewhat reasonable price. However, every time I eat here, their quality seems to vary and not in a good way. Their way of serving you is super efficient though and it's coupled by the other amazing Asian food stalls within the food court. read more

We got the 3 dishes with soup option and got 2 pan fried buns. The pan fried buns were good. There were a lot of dishes to try, lots of variety to choose from. We got the chow mein, bitter melon with squid, and greens. Big portions. The soup was really plain haha. Overall, great place to try multiple items. I also thought it was really cute how a customer waiting in line and one of the workers greeted each other like buddies. Definitely a frequent customer and bonded. You never know where you make friends! (: read more

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli - 3 items, 1 soup - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

My Mom and I have been wanting to check out the President Square Food Court located at President Square in Arcadia. We got our chance this past rainy weekend. We go places... rain or shine LOL. We had dinner plans with family that same day so we didn't want to eat too much for lunch. We decided on Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli for a quick lunch. They have trays of Chinese food items with veggies and proteins ready to be selected for your plate... similar to Panda Express concept. They offer individual dishes as well. Btw, they are a CASH ONLY establishment. We went with a 2 items plate with white rice + side of simple broth for $9.98 + tax. They also have 1, 3, and 4 items plate at different prices. There is an option for noodles if you don't want rice. I saw about 20+ variety of items you can choose from. Pretty good choices available (check out my photos). Fish tofu and broccoli were our 2 choices. Fish tofu lacked flavor and spice just a little bit. Good chunks of fish and lots of tofu though. Fresh big, crunchy, and cold broccoli heads. I appreciate the lady staff informing us that the broccoli is a cold item and asked if we were okay with it. Yes, we were okay with it. Thank you Miss! My Mom drank the broth... it was okay. Staff was friendly. Service was very quick. Price is a little bit higher than other similar food vendors. Nice, clean, and comfy interior seating shared with the other businesses in the food court. I appreciate the cleaniness of the food court. There is only one set of trash bins for use... they happen to be near the front of this restaurant. Restrooms are available to the right of Vua Kho Bo (dried snacks and tea vendor). I can see my Mom and I coming back here to eat for a quick lunch in the future. Thanks! read more

The only thing my parents and I get here is the deep fried stinky tofu -- and we've been doing it for literally the past 10 years. Inflation has really done a number on the price (hah), but even at the eye-watering $12.59 per plate of stinky tofu nowadays, it's still well worth it. It's pretty much impossible finding stinky tofu anywhere in the U.S., even in the SGV. I think Hsin Hsin Shau May's fried stinky tofu is the best I've had outside of Taiwan (and maybe even better than some of the stalls in Taiwan?). The smell hits you the moment you enter the food court. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love stinky tofu enough that the pungent odor alone makes my mouth water. What makes their stinky tofu so good is that they double-fry the tofu cubes, which are nice and chunky. The exterior is so crackly and crispy, but the tofu inside stays soft, moist, and juicy. The contrast in texture is what makes fried stinky tofu so great. I also like that they use a thick soy sauce rather than the watery kind some stinky tofu places in Taiwan use, which just makes it soggy. The spicy, pickled cabbage on the side could be fresher and tangier (they tend to use wiltier, outer cabbage leaves), but I'm not gonna split hairs here. This is a food court stand, so you order and pay first, and grab whatever table is nearby. They'll call out your order when it's ready. Cash only. read more

This shop is a hidden gem in Arcadia. I was recommended their stinky tofu by one of my friends. They didn't disappoint me at all. The tofu was very rich, crisp outside, and soft inside. Although the smell was not as stinky as I expected, I was happy with it. The house-made pickle was also on point. It really enhanced the flavors of the tofu and balanced out the fat. I also ordered the chive pancakes. They are not really pancakes, but they look more like empanadas. They were stuffed with chives and scrambled eggs inside. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of it, because when they fried it, the oil got trapped inside. Grease oozed out when biting. It was very greasy. Make sure you bring cash with you because they don't take credit cards. read more

$12.59 for 4-item combo with soup and rice/noodle. The hot deli items look more fresh and inviting than Kang Kang. They also have Shanghai fried buns but no one beats Kang Kang for that, even in Shanghai (as sworn by my Shanghainese friend). Cash or Venmo only. read more

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli - $12.57 4 item combo with soup and noodle or rice - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli - 4 combo plate - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

2nd time here. Both time disappointed. Very difficult that none of the staff speak even basic English. Only Mandarin. I applaud them for bringing different staff in an attempt to help, but none of them could. Basic.."Do you have rice rolls?" This last time since they couldn't figure what I needed, a guy came out and pointed to a sign.."braised pork". For.the.sake of saving time and least buy something for them trying to help me, I just agreed to purchase that For $8, this is their braised pork in the photo. About 3 tablespoons of minced pork cooked in a brown sauce over bed of rice with blanched broccoli. Nothing special. Bland and didnt look appealing. Ate few tablespoons and tossed out. Have no intentions to go back. read more

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli - Braised pork. - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

3.5/5 They take cash or Zelle! Food is good value for the money. It's in the greasier side given that it's so cheap, but very convenient and fast if you're in a hurry and want no frills. Each combo comes with a side of broth. The meatballs were very filling and packed with flavor. The lady working there kind of rushes you if you don't know what you want, but whatever! For my 2 item combo I got the fish and tofu, meatball, and chow mein. As of Jan 2026, it was $11.03 with tax. read more

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli - I chose fish and tofu (very mildly spicy) meatball, and chow mein for the 2 item combo. - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

$23 for two three item plates with your choice of noodles or fried rice! Cash or Zelle only. I knocked off one star for the inconvenience of not having credit card transactions and the protein selections are limited which is a downside if you prefer a lot of protein options with your meals. There is a lot of vegetarian options though! Noodles are a bit on the dry side but it's not that big of a deal. They are generous with portions and service is really quick. It is located in the cafeteria next to 99 ranch market so it shares a parking lot. read more

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli is located inside the President Square food court (same food court as Sunright. Since my husband skipped lunch and I had an early lunch (around 11 am), we decided to grab an early dinner, around 5:30 am on a Saturday. I haven't been to this eatery in such a long time. I think the last time I had them was when I was in junior high or high school. I decided to get their 3 item combo, which comes with your choice of rice or noodle, a small soup and your choice of 3 items from the steam table. I decided to get the tomato egg (a childhood favorite of mine), tofu in a brown sauce and garlic broccoli. I opted for steam rice to go with the sauce from the eggs and tofu. I didn't realize that I had chosen all vegetarian items (I am not vegetarian) but it was all delicious. My husband also liked some of my food (he ended up choosing food from another eatery) and agreed with me that the portion size of this meal is huge. The soup provided is on the bland side but I didn't mind it. My mom asked me to bring her home a 3 item combo as well, so I ended up choosing meatballs, eggplant and chicken. I also got her steamed rice. With the amount of food she got, it was enough to feed her 3 meals. She really enjoyed everything and told me that I will have to come back in the near future. ------------------------------- (Total= $23, CASH ONLY) Service was friendly and quick. The employees helping me on both occasions spoke both English and Mandarin, so you shouldn't have trouble ordering (or you could just point at the items you want, which could work too). There are other items besides dishes you can choose from the steam tray, but a lot of the items are food items that I grew up eating and wouldn't mind coming back here again. Just don't forget though, Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli is CASH ONLY if you do decide to grab a meal here. read more

Food: 7/10 Value: 6/10 Would I return? Most likely not. Got the 4 dish for $15. Normally I wouldn't be able to finish my food at other Chinese fast food take out styles where they stuff the food to the brim but not here. Was still hungry afterwards. Think I get more food at Panda Express. Portions are not that generous and kind of subpar. Like I only got two pieces of pork feet as one of my choices. All the portions for the other dishes were nothing special either. For the price and value this place kinda sucks considering the competition around where everyone else overfills food in those to go boxes except them. I usually go to these kind of places expecting two meals. This place was barely one meal. Having noodles as an option instead was a nice touch but that was prob the only good thing worth noting here. Food was just ok. Go anywhere else for 1.5-2x the amount of food. For $15 I should've just gone to Panda Express instead. At least I would've been full. read more

It's alright. Comparable to kang kangs Shau may in Alhambra. I would say kang kang is better and even cheaper but kang kang is cash only

There are so many Asian restaurants in the 626 so I have to try them all LOL. I ordered to go for a family of four dinner, you can also eat at the many indoor tables that are available. My order included the usual items, fried rice, chow mein, fish, and teriyaki style chicken. All the food was very good and it was already premade so it was quick service except for the fried rice they had to cook. The only drawback is cash only or you can also Zelle. read more

The beef noodle soup was soo good! Good portion of tender beef, veggies, and noodles. I was expecting very little protein but to my surprise they gave a lot! I'm not Taiwanese but I've had a lot of Taiwanese beef noodle soup, this was one of the best I've ever had. What made it so good was the broth and perfectly done noodles. I complimented the chef and he was so happy, and that made me happy. I drove 30 min to check out the food court and glad I picked this. If I'm in the area again, will definitely order again. FYI cash only read more

I can't express how amazing of a deal this place offers. For a stuffed container of delicious food for only $10 or less? Sign me up! I love their tofu and eggplant (2 separate dishes). Their chow mein is cooked really nicely too. Al dente! Their food is always flavorful, and the portions are generous. The prices are more than fair too. I've been many times and will keep returning! read more

First time trying Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli after shopping at the next door 99 Ranch Market. This restaurant is located inside of the food court going past Sunright. Inside this food court there's other small restaurants that serve various types of food. This particular shop caught my eye because they had already cooked food ready to order. Heads up, cash only! They have combo dishes, where you can get either rice/noodles with a few side dishes of protein. They also come with soup, which is nice. Portion sizes are pretty decent. For about $8~$9 you can get like a meal and a half or two meals if you choose all protein. I don't eat much in one sitting so it's like 2 meals in one. I would say that the quality of the food is ok. It's filling, it's bang for your buck. It's really basic food, like marinated chicken, tofu, veggies..etc. If you're lazy to make it yourself, you can order it here. If I'm stuck hungry after shopping at 99 Ranch I may come back to try their other dishes. read more

After spending the weekend in Big Bear, we stopped in Arcadia to get dinner before making the long drive back to Santa Barbara. It was a chilly day and I saw this place had beef noodle soup on the menu, so I decided to give it a try. They are located in President Square, a shopping plaza along Golden W Avenue. Parking is decent, with a good amount of spaces. The entrance to the food court is between Full House Seafood Restaurant and Sunright Tea Studio. Once you're inside, Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli is straight ahead. Indoor seating is plentiful; a lot of the neighboring food stalls appear to be permanently closed unfortunately. The serving style here resembles a cafeteria line. Simply let the staff know which entrees and/or sides you want to order. Most of the dishes were not labeled in English or Chinese, so you may have to ask questions if you're not very unfamiliar with the food. I saw chow mein, stir fry vegetables, mixed vegetables, mapo tofu, dumplings, fried rice, braised pork, and other chicken/beef entrees. Everything was very affordable. If my Google Translate is accurate, you can choose three entrees for under $10, and it comes with rice/porridge and soup on the side. They also have bowls of noodle soup for under $12. The beef noodle soup was heartwarming! Each piece of meat was soft and tender. There was a good amount of bok choy included. The broth was on the saltier and oilier side, but was manageable. While I'd say Northern Cafe has better noodles, the ones here were still satisfying. If you're trying to find a place that serves inexpensive and tasty food, look no further! read more

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli - Beef Noodle Soup ⋅ Arcadia, California - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

COVID Times: Open daily. You got me at cheap and authentic! Original 626 Chinese/Taiwanese Soul and Comfort Food. Anyone whose moved out of 626 have grown to deeply miss this type of food. I visit and load up at any chance I get. Hours: Daily 11am-7pm. Sundays they close early, no dinners. I've highly suggested them to offer delivery but I know it's difficult for small shops to invest in a driver. Food: Pick how many dishes you want. It'll include a rice, noodle or mix side AND a soup!!!! $7.81 for 3 choices $6.70 for 2 choices. $5.60 for 1 choice. I love the old school choices like eggs and tomatoes, string beans, 3 cup meat chicken, and eggplant. My significant other likes the meatballs, smoked chicken, and steam pork buns. For those who grew up with this cafeteria style Chinese food, you know what I mean when I say my mood dictates what I'll pick at the moment. Walk Up Order from either the 1. Front entrance, or 2. Back door along the alley behind the market. - Cash only. My favorite kind of ghetto fab mom a d pop shop. - Point at what you want, pas the cash, and they'll be back with change and your food in minutes. They just have to walk all the way into their store to get everything unless your visiting from the back door which would be faster. Language: Mandarin only, unless the older gentleman, or a younger kid is there (They speak perfect English). Menu: Pictures are on the table in Chinese and English. Just point at what you want. The staff will indicate if it's sold out or not. If this place was in LA, they would make a killing! Anything Chinese fast food out of 626 is most likely colonized by the local taste bud. In thai town, it's really thai flavors and versions of what they think is Chinese food, in Pico Rivera it's a latino taste bud, and any decent ethnic or diverse food in the westside is just a joke. read more

Wanted to like this place the food looks very good. I got a three combo plate service was very good. I got home my food was swimming in a pool of oil. I was wondering why it was so cheap. It was super oily. Won't be trying again read more

2022.11.28 Normally Cash only although you can use the handwritten Zelle option behind the register. Home style cafeteria, you do not have to speak Chinese as at least 50% of the customers just point. Nothing is labeled, you can ask and do your best to figure out what each item is if you are not familiar. Prices are great, under $8 for 2 item combo and a little over $9 for 3 item combo, Generous portions, decent flavors. We tried: Kung pao chicken (no peanuts included) Tofu and fish - slight spice although it looks basic Eggplant Tomato egg Duck Comes with a soup, broth with some veg. Rice or noodle option. If you get a three item the rice or noodle will come in a separate container. Decent place decent price. read more

Prices are up and portion size is way down here. Used to be my go to for this style of "choose your own" food but Kang Kang is a much better option now. And word to the wise -- avoid going around 5 pm or so when they are cleaning the floors in their space. Ignorance is bliss is something that applies here. read more

This is a great place to pick up some authentic Cantonese style take out without breaking the bank. It's located inside the sunright building, so it can be hard to find. They only take cash.

Decent, cheap, quick, take-out Chinese food. This place is part of the food court located in the same shopping center as the 99 Ranch Market, Ten Ren's Tea Time, and Full House Restaurant. There appeared to be over 20 different options laid out on hot plates. Everything looked good and freshly made, with a steady stream of business, even at 2PM in the afternoon. The ladies helping me behind the counter spoke little English, but pointing out what I wanted was sufficient. I chose 3 items (eggplant, beef stew and a tofu dish) for $4.99. It came with a small box of white rice and a bowl of soup. For only $5, I had a huge box of Chinese food and it tasted pretty decent. It fed me for two meals. Boba milk tea for only $0.99! It was definitely the cheapest I've ever seen. Even though the boba was terrible and the milk tea tasted weak, I reminded myself that it was only 99 cents. I'll have to remember to order the milk tea without boba next time. Price: 2 items - $3.99, 3 items - $4.99, 4 items - $5.99. I paid with cash, so I'm not sure if they accept credit cards. I'd assume cash only. A great value! I'll be back again. read more

Hsin Hsin Shau May Deli - $5 3-item combo - Chinese Near Me - Arcadia, California

Upon entering building and turning right to buy a drink at sunright, I noticed a strong Chinese herb smell. It was female ginseng (當歸). I initially only wanted a drink and ended buying a duck thin noodle with female ginseng soup. It was the right taste, not too strong, not too mild. It was only $11.99 and so worth it. Will definitely buy again and have it when it gets cold. Btw, the owners were nice and greeted us when they saw us. It was located inside a food court with many stores already out of business. Hopefully, it can stay in business during this hard time. read more

If you don't have a Taiwanese mother-in-law and are too lazy to cook, then here is your solution. $5.99 will get you a 3 item combo with soup and choice of white rice or noddles. I LOVE stir fried eggplant and it's consistently good here, never under cooked or too mushy. Garlic chicken is always a must here. Soup is usually garbage filler, but comes with the meal anyways. I wouldn't recommend eating here because it reeks of stinky tofu and an old folks home, but plenty of seating. CASH ONLY read more

Consistently yummy food! I love their tofu, eggplant, and broccoli with the complimentary chow mein.

I ordered 3 items and paid for three items but they only give me 2 items! Garbage disgusting place
