Come over here every so often, quality of food is just ok, but somehow they've becoming quite cheap on their portion. And they only take cash. The lady boss is quite rude sometimes, although her husband that runs the kitchen is rather polite. I wish they can change a bit and make the environment less hostile and tense. Because she sometimes yell at her daughter that's sitting in the corner read more

Kingchops - Taiwanese Near Me - Industry, California

A small snug joint that reminds me of everything that is TW. I want to just walk in with slippers but I'd look odd exiting. Pork chop noodles is what I come here for when I need the comfort food. I haven't gotten a chance to try the pork chop rice yet but one can only imagine it to be just as good. I like what they do with their chops, slightly (emphasize slightly) breaded unlike some places that like to offer a smidgen of meat with the batter. Additional Worcester sauce can be asked for on the side! I think its gotten a little more pricey but hey, what can you expect with this lovely economy we have going on here. Their hours are a little on the odd side and they are $$ only so visit your shoe box stash or local ATM before going. read more

Kingchops - Taiwanese Near Me - Industry, California

cash only :l It's a little bit hole in the wall, super easy to miss. It's in the plaza with Pho-Ha on Gale across from Home Depot and it's a little to the left of Pho-Ha. I've been here with several taiwanese friends and they say the flavor of their pork chops are pretty similar, NOT EXACT but pretty similar to the ones they have in Taiwan. For me, yeah it's not bad but it's just a okay pork chop, nothing too special and the price isn't cheap for a small restaurant with pretty average portions. It's about $7-9 for a pork chop combo and compared to the rest of the places around Rowland area, that's a little steep for their portions. Not bad, but nothing special here for me. They also have a variety of side dishes that are pretty good and authentic as well. Recommend if you like the Jin Yuan porkchops in Taiwan and can't find anything authentic here. read more

This place is a good addition to this plaza. The food is very tasty and the service was nice. We had the pork chop with the noodle, both dry and with soup. Noodles were good but the pork chop is fabulous. Ima get the pork chops a la carte next time...maybe 2 of them. :) read more

Kingchops - Taiwanese Near Me - Industry, California

Mom and pop shop that offers a small list of easy and fast Taiwanese style plates. After trying their noodles, chicken leg rice and pork chop rice, I really recommend the pork chop rice. I don't think I will come there for anything else. Honestly, even with the rise in food prices, it's still a little bit expensive considering its location and what you get. I think it should be under $7 out the door. The side dishes are so so and could be much improved on but the pork chop is MONEY. That being said, I will still come here. I love the family owned and made food. It's small, gets packed, and the parking is hit or miss. Be prepared! Tip: CASH ONLY read more

*I'm glad to find Jin Yuan back open in business. *The pork chop rice is the same as the famous Jin Yuan in Taiwan. It's friend with a very light breading, drizzled with Worcester sauce. *It's slightly pricer and portion is about asian-size, at about $7.30 per plate, but the quality is worth it. read more

I've read and heard about this place, and it lives up to the hype as far as the pork chop rice goes. It's well fried. Good flavor. And you get the luxury of walking home smelling like it, whether you realized it or not. I got the chicken as well, and I thought it was just as good. They use chicken thigh and drum, so you get to relish in the dark meat. I didn't think the owners were rude or mean. It's just a self service type, and most people go in there knowing what they want. CASH ONLY btw. read more

Be still my heart. No frills straight forward authentic amazingly delicious Taiwanese food. I loved everything, especially loved the meatball in chilli sauce and the porkchop on rice. I will definitely be back for more! Don't go if you are looking for ambience cause they don't got none! read more

Kingchops - Taiwanese Near Me - Industry, California

This review is strictly for their pork chop rice which I assume is their specialty. Maybe I don't have the knowledge of what authentic real taiwanese fried pork chop is supposed to be like but I though this place to be pretty underwhelming. First of all they only gave me 4 strips of pork chop to go with the plate. At $7.50, the size and amount was pretty skeptical but hey if the quality warrants it then go ahead. The pork chops though were not that crispy and while the taste wasn't bad, I felt like it was average at best. Plate comes with broccoli, rice with the mince beef on top, some saucy tofu type stuff, and soup. All of which don't really stand out as anything special. I would put this place to be on par with any regular old taiwanese cafe out in the rowland/hacienda/diamond bar area. Just average, aka 3 stars. Tip: Cash only read more

Great pork chop rice but they never have the bamboo salad. How could they always be sold out ...? read more

If you are looking for pork chop rice, look no further. This place is the King of pork chop rice. Of course you can have your pork chops with noodles too. For this establishment, this is their specialty and they do it very well. Some people might say, "It is just pork chop." For such a simple dish, majority of the other restaurants can't get it right. So what is so special about KingChop? Deep fried to perfecion; crispy outside juicy tender meat inside; unique flavor that doesn't overwhelm your taste buds; and the consistency that has brought me back time after time. It doesn't get any better than that. read more

Kingchops - Pork Chop Rice done right... =) - Taiwanese Near Me - Industry, California

We were referred here by a friend who seems to love it. Having tried the Jin Yuan chain in Taiwan, I have some expectation that this place is authentic. Don't get me wrong, this place tastes pretty good, but I don't understand what is the hype. It is really hard to mess up friend pork chops, and I don't feel like their pork chop tastes extra good. They are authentic in the sense that the taste and the sauce are more or less Taiwanese, but really now, it's not like Taiwanese restaurants are lacking in Rowland. What bugs me the most is that it is quite expensive for relatively little amount of food. I see some complaints about the service -- no gripe for me on this topic. They are not mean or rude or anything, they are just middle-age Asian who aren't caring about your every single need, which I like. Just leave me alone when I'm eating! read more

Love their pork chops (well marinated and crispy)!!!!: 5 stars! Noodle soup is a tad bit bland though (tasted like noodles in water): 2 stars Workers are extremely nurturing and friendly: 5 stars read more

Quite simple, really. I (Born in Florida) asked my dad (Taiwan, born and raised) what the best pork chop rice is in the area. He said this place. We drove from Arcadia to here and I would have to say the trip was worth it. Easily the best, if not the top 2 pork chop rice places I've had. Ever. If there are any pai-gu-fan connoisseurs out there who need the comparison for decision making purposes let's do this. (Subjective opinions here, don't get your panties in a bunch if I offend your favorite) It's the perfect amount of flavoring, especially with the worchestershire sauce. It's not as salty as Simbala's. The texture is also better than Simbala's, which I feel is too floury and leaves this weird aftertaste as well. The pork chops here are also just the right amount of crispiness. Not too oily so you feel like you're developing atherosclerosis upon leaving as you would at Liang's kitchen (there are a few, but the ones I've been to were all waaaay too oily). It's been awhile since I've been to Ding Tai Fung, but from what I recall the pork chops at DTF were not fried ENOUGH. Too... 'dainty'. This had no such issues. Long story short... this stuff has just the right amount of everything. Best pork chop rice I've ever had and I've had a few of them. i had no problems with service. Only wish their water had ice in it, and their cups were larger. read more

It is really good and definitely one of the best in near Rowland Heights areas. I usually order to go because it is small inside and normally pack of people. They make the fry fly high... read more

I love their pork chop and chicken leg rice or noodle. They taste almost the same as the Gin Yuan Pai Gu in Taiwan. I give them one less of a star because the size of their chicken leg is inconsistent. There were two times I got a super small box of chicken leg. However, I'm still a fan. Food is good and price is reasonable. read more

Decent food, but the lady owner is the rudest. Ordered take out but decided to eat there and she came over to tell me I have to leave tip if I'm dining in. Believe it or not, I was planning to leave a tip based on dine in etiquette. Brought it up to her she shouldn't tell customers to leave tip and was given excuses with major attitude. So rude and unprofessional. read more

BEST pork chop I've ever had in the US. Side dishes are also very good. Friendly staffs. I'll definitely come back for the good food! read more

Kingchops - Bamboo Salad - Taiwanese Near Me - Industry, California

Review is based on service. Very poor experience. Waitress does not take order. Waits awhile and finally takes my order. My food was only delivered partially. When the missing entree was pointed out after 20 minutes they figured out it was never cooked. Wait another 15 minutes for pork chop to be delivered but missing the soup. Soup finally comes but waitress never asks about what to drink. go get my own ice water from the dispenser. FAIL. Finally the check is triple of what l ordered. Obviously incorrect bill. read more

Kingchops - 饭都吃快完了 鸡腿等了半小时 这 操他妈的是什么破店 做的如此失败 不如关起来算了 - Taiwanese Near Me - Industry, California

The food is pretty good, but it feels like you are eating at someone's house. The husband and wife owners are constantly bickering in front of customers. We come here every few weeks and it's always the same arguments over and over again. Have to check behind me to see if there is a film crew because it feels like a bad reality show. read more

Excellent pork chop noodles or rice!!! Good egg rolls!! Same as in Taipei. Not fancy, but clean, reasonable price!! read more

Love this restaurant. they have the best pork chop in LA. love their Bamboo shoots. the pork chop is juicy, tender and flavorful! highly recommend their Pork chop! read more

Why 5 stars? Because it maintains its high quality during this pandemic. I was originally headed for Take-out from Lu's Garden nearby but it was closed during this time. So, I came to Kingchop in hope its opened for take-out. I have ordered lots of take-out during this pandemic period, more than 85% of time, quality of food went down. But Kingchop earned my 5- stars. read more

Worst service ever! The lady was so rude and had an attitude. The food was just ok. Will never come again.

A quick stop in for local Taiwanese food. The service is good, they have complementary iced green tea which is actually very delicious and refreshing. They are known for the pork chop rice which I would definitely recommend. They've got it down to a science. The pork chop is perfectly crisp on the outside but tender and moist on the inside and piping hot. The seasoning is perfect as well. It goes perfectly with warm white rice, veggies, and a marinated egg. I look forward to every stop in here! read more

Jin Yuan is a very small and cozy eatery that's right next to Ramen Yukinoya. One might overlook the small sign that says Jin Yuan! Their food is pretty good, however I think their prices could be lower. We ordered to-go: 1) Chicken Leg Rice- This comes with minced pork on rice and veggies. They put the chicken leg in another box. I think it wouldn't hurt if they give more rice with the meal, but the chicken leg was fried to the perfect crisp. There was not too much batter and you can actually taste the chicken (unlike those other places where they just fry it into a ball of who knows what). 2) Pork Chop Rice- This comes with minced pork on rice and veggies. They put the pork chop in another box. I noticed that the porkchop looked smaller than the chicken leg. Again, this is only lightly fried and I think they give more rice when you take it to-go. 3) Chicken Leg Dry Noodle- You must tell them to switch it to dry noodle because it's not on the menu. I think ordering their noodles is more worth it than getting the rice because they give more (amount-wise). Also, the dry noodles were topped with minced pork and was very tasty. It had a garlic taste to it and I honestly think this was the best combination out of the three. They put the chicken leg in another box. I felt like my chicken was too salty salty though. You could probably ask them to lower the sodium beforehand. 4) Bamboo with Mayo- This was very overpriced and you could make it at home by yourself. However, it's a traditional Taiwanese side dish so it was still good. 5) Stewed Bamboo Shoots- These were perfectly seasoned and they cook it in a slow cooker. I wouldn't recommend buying this though because it's overpriced for the amount you get, as well. Anyways, the server was very nice and she had a conversation with my family in Taiwanese. We waited about 10 minutes for our to-go to finish cooking, because they freshly fried our meats. Their menu is limited but I would recommend eating here! read more

Holy sh*t this place is legit. But for $7.50 for a pork chop rice/ noodle soup it better be. The pork chop tasted like music in my mouth, it was hands down the best pork chop I've ever had at a Taiwanese restaurant in LA. I had the paigu mien (pork chop noodle soup) and the noodle soup was good, I liked that they give you pickled veggies and a soy sauce egg in the soup. We also ordered the bamboo salad, steamed bamboo, and cold seaweed. All the side dishes were delicious, I especially liked the seaweed and steamed bamboo. I'm salivating just thinking about the pork chop again. It was tender, perfectly seasoned, and fried to perfection without tasting oily. I could have ate that just on its own and be satisfied. The restaurant's name in Chinese basically says "Jin Yuan Pork Chop", so that's what you need to order when you're here. If you feel like having anything else then don't come here, this isn't the typical Taiwanese restaurant that serves all the traditional dishes. read more

so after finally deciding to move our SW flight from LAX to SJC on a raining day since it was supposed to leave at 8:20pm on friday night but was moved to 11:30 (and actually ended up really leaving at 1:30am!!)...we went to dinner. thought we'd try this place for its pork chop rice. it's a small little cafe with a limited menu. food is delicious!! ordered the pork chop rice and chicken leg rice. it was hot, temperature-wise, and fried to perfection. they came with rice, veggie (napa cabbage), and sour veggie (i don't know how to translate "swooan tsai" exactly). i liked the fact that this place did not oversalt anything. also had the tofu with thousand year old egg. yummy as well. i'll be back to jin yuan to try noodle dishes and more good stuff!! read more

The pork chop rice and chicken rice is the way to go here. It's got veggies, ground beef on top of the rice and then the fried pork chop goodness. It's a comfort food for me. Makes me think of taiwan. It's cool because you can call in and just pick it up. So fast. Note that it's cash only. I'm always making an atm pit stop beforehand. read more

Hidden inside a strip mall, this Taiwanese pork chop place is pretty darn good! My dad always comes here, and raves about the pork chop noodle soup. The pork chop and the noodle soup is served separately. There's also a minced pork rice option too for those who don't want noodle soup. I got the chicken leg noodle soup for my first visit here. I did snag a piece of my dad's pork chop and it was very tasty. A bit salty but that's expected for a fried Taiwanese pork chop. My chicken leg was delicious. It was 3 big pieces of bone-in chicken legs. Super juicy and crispy. I thought the chicken was more flavorful than the pork actually. I would most definitely come here again for the food! It's also reasonably priced which is a major plus! read more

Does not taste like what they advertise, overprice, rude, price are higher than their menu, will never go back ever again!

Definitely the best porkchops and chicken rice (Taiwanese style) in all of SGV & inland empire. I always get the chicken over the pork because it's juicier. Not the cheapest Taiwanese bento you can buy, but worth it for a satisfying lunch. Portions are not big, so you might want to get some classic side dishes with your meal. read more

New ownership! Bad policies... during lunch hour, wife went alone to get lunch. Sat first in a 4 person table. With more people coming in, two customers were added to the table without asking her, but at this point it is understandable due to the lunch hour crunch, although she felt she should have been asked. Now there are 3 people on this 4 seat table. A bit later as she was just starting to eat, one waiting customer, male, wanted to take the seat in front of my wife, and instead of asking her, asked the other male customer in front of him if he was going to take the seat. This customer whom arrived first, said politely that he thought due to my wife being female, he thought he'd wait. However the former just said: "oh, then I am taking the seat." to the store manager and sat down without another word. Of course my wife just left the barely touched meal and asked for the check. The female and male owners came apologizing: "sorry there was nothing we could do", to which my wife said: "yes there was, you could've simply told him to wait." A side note: Meanwhile another table of 4 had only 2 people on, but were not bothered or asked probably because they looked US-born. read more

BF really likes the pork chops here. Also had the cucumbers.

I had a long history with KingChop as a loyal customer. I remembered eating at KingChop with my parents when I was a teenage in Taiwan. We all enjoyed the food and home-cooking environment. Fast forward to the US. I am still a regular patron. The previous Taiwanese owner/lady was always polite, warm and very educated. She franchised this Restaurant to a new owner and opened up a KingChop in the city of Irvine. One day of this week I happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to check it out again. The service was horrible. I had a very unpleasant encounter with the new owner/lady. For some unknown reasons she was hostile, rude and almost mean-spirited toward her workers. Never again to be a patron there. read more

The pork chops are amazing! My parents are from Taiwan and they claim that this is the best Taiwanese cuisine in city of industry

First time here because my co worker told me about they have really good pork chop! It's kinda the disappointed, their pork chop tasted sour not and less flavor! read more

Got the fried pork chop. It was cooked very well, however I felt it lacked seasoning. Food was okay overall and price was okay. Do try their complimentary tea though. Tastes similar to one of the drinks from happy lemon a couple doors down. read more

I do not understand why everyone is raving about this place. Nothing is fresh. Not even close to food in Taiwan. This owner uses the microwave to warm up everything, pork chop, chicken legs, curry....he could might as well bought the deep fried pork from some distributor. Restaurant food needs to be authentic and fresh. The only thing that is cooked in the back kitchen is the soup. He doesn't wash hands between handling the food (microwaving) and the cash he collects. Worst is no bathroom available. read more

Really bad experience,service sucks there,they serve the food no in order,do not want to ever come back again!
