    Mala catfish
    Jenny H.

    They had a parking lot so that was great! We were a few minutes early since they opened at 12 on Sunday but they let us in early haha. The waitress was so kind and sweet. They have a patio, but let us dine inside with our dog. We had him in a stroller and laid a blanket out on the booth seating :) our dog is pretty chill so that helped too. The waitress even got our dog some water. The shrimp was so good, huge, and crispy! Eggplant was delicious and flavorful. Scallop fries rice was good - I ate it with the eggplant sauce. The mala catfish was absolutely delicious and spicy! It had noodles in it too. Had a very pleasant experience here and would recommend to anyone. The food is more pricey but 100% worth it and so delicious. And they had a cocktail menu too. So you can tell this place is more fancy restaurant. I wanted to try some but had a whole day ahead of me haha

    I've recently started an annual tradition of having a Friendsgiving and gift exchange party, and I wanted to do it at a place that was friendly for groups. I saw that Kue's had large tables and private rooms, and decided to get a reservation here. I was hoping to get the private room, but instead we got a table in the regular dining area. We made a reservation for 7:30 PM, but I think the staff overbooked and we couldn't even sit at our table until 8:00 PM. We had a table of 13, fortunately some people arrived late so it was ok that we started late. The staff were nice enough, but I wish we did not have to wait for seating. I asked my friend, who was a regular here, to order the food. She really enjoys Cantonese food. We had a wide variety of dishes. My favorite was the scallion chicken. The chicken skin was included with the chicken meat itself. The chicken was juicy and went well with the scallions and vegetables. The cha siu was also quite juicy, using fatty pork belly, but definitely different from traditional Cantonese cha siu. The sweet and sour pork was ok, I've had better in San Gabriel Valley. I loved the clay pot rice and also the crispy rice soup. Everything overall was solid.

    Came here for the first time in July with friends. Finding that most of the food was delicious, my husband and I brought his laments here to try it out. Definitely a place to try. The service the first time seemed better than the second time,but I assume because it was more busier the second time we dined in. Almost everything we ate was delicious. The only thing I'd stay away from is the Crispy Pork Belly. It was super dry and I found it odd that the dipping sauce was condensed milk. Another note is that the you can taste the wok hei in the Beef Chow Fun, but there was something missing from the flavor. Overall, i'dstill go back.

    Celebrating birthday with friends at Kue's was a great experience! Private room was nice and quiet, service was excellent, and all the dishes were delicious. I especially love the coconut chicken soup, wasabi vinaigrette fungus, and clay pot fish.

    It was my 2nd time dining in yesterday. Came here last time with my BF and the food was pretty good and decided to take my family here yesterday for Father's Day. Making reservations was easy. Just called it in and reserved it for a specific time. However, the 2nd time I got to try more different dishes as we had more people. But the food was lacking. It was either too salty or oily. The only best dish that we enjoyed was the Chicken salad. It had shredded chicken carrots, red onions, garlic, cilantro, tomato, peanuts and thinly shredded fried taro strips. It was mixed in this sesame vinaigrette dressing that made it very good. Very good appetizer. Salty Fish Eggplant clay pot was full of oil and had no taste. Choy Sum veggie dish was ok. It was shiny with oil with lots of garlic. The garlic part is fine because I love garlic but when you bit into the vegetable, it was tough. Not the crunch when you bite it so it was disappointing. Beef Chow Fun did not taste as good as the first time. It had the "wok hey" from cooking but it lacked the taste. Steamed whole fish in the bed of Garlic was good. But can taste the fishiness. It was topped with lots of ginger scallion sauce on top. Crispy pork belly was ok. It came with a side of condensed milk for dipping which I thought was interesting but the taste together was good. The only complaint was the pieces were cut too big. We had to cut it up so everyone can try a piece. Fried Tofu and garlic wings were a hit for the little kids. Would totally recommend that! Golden Yolk prawns were huge! It was good but too much salty egg yolk sauce. It became salty. Overall, the service was ok. We had to ask for our water to be refilled and catch their attention. Not sure if it was because it was holiday and not enough staff but for the price of the dishes and restaurant the service should be on top. I feel like you can get these dishes at other Chinese restaurants for a lot cheaper but I can see they try to make the dishes a little more upscale here because of the price. If you want to give this place a try, go for happy hour and you don't need to pay as much. Other than that, I don't give this place high hopes.

    My friend and I were walking down Main Street in Alhambra and stumbled upon this new restaurant and bar. Drinks: 5/5 We came here for just for their drinks and did not get any food. We got their dragon mule and the cove. Both drinks were exceptionally strong but tasty. For the cove, it was a rum based drink and tasted really good but had pretty high alcohol content. I would definitely recommend it. The mule was pretty standard but still good. Service: 5/5 We got seated right away at the bar when we got in. The bar tender was welcoming and introduced us to their drinks and happy hour. Our drinks came out pretty quick. Ambiance: 5/5 This place was great for drinks. It's upscale and the bar seating was really elegant. I would definitely come back here to try their food and happy hour.

    Chow fun
    Gordon L.

    Went during happy hour (9pm - 12am midnight) Nice booth seating, comfortable atmosphere Called restaurant, staff speaks Cantonese Servers were polite Food: -Beef Chow Fun ($15): tasted pretty good, can't go wrong with classic chinese style chow fun -Chicken wings ($11): crispy and hot, nice texture -mixed stir fry vegetable ($22): good mix of different vegetables, but too pricey imo for what you get Beef chow fun and chicken wings were a reasonable price for the happy hour menu, overall had an enjoyable meal, would come back again for happy hour but I think their regular menu prices are way too expensive Love how they are open till midnight, and you can hang out there

    Hot and Sour Soup for 2, Black Pepper Mignon Beef with Mushroom
    Katie K.

    Came in because I won a $50 gift card and I'm so glad I had the chance to try this restaurant. We got three dishes: Sautéed Choy Sum, Black Pepper Mignon Beef with Mushroom, & Hot and Sour Soup for 2. Each one was full of flavor and were great in portions. I can't wait to come back to try their other dishes.

    Free parking structure on 1st street. Plenty of free street parking. Decor was very nice. Came on a Sunday during Happy Hour with no wait. Got the Garlic Pepper Crispy Chicken Wings for $11 and the Beef Chow Fun for $15. Both dishes were amazing, but too oily. The Garlic Pepper Crispy Chicken Wings was really good and definitely and must order. This is place is on the pricier side. Would come back once in a while.

    Fried   Crispy Tofu
    Jacqueline T.

    We came to Kue's last weekend to finally try the restaurant since they open in November. We made reservation for a big party. Plenty of parking in the lot and it was no problem. When we walked in, we felt the casual ambience with a bar, music and the TV playing sports. The menu has a good variety of appetizers food for HH. For dinner, they also have some unique dishes. We tried the roasted Brussels sprouts, hand shredded chicken salad- this is very delicious, the barbecue pork, friend tofu, fried eggplant, sauté filet mignon with mushroom, kung pao shrimp and the pan fried carport truffle. All in all the food tastes delicious, a little in the salty side. The prices are reasonable. There are many good dishes and HH that I'd like to return and try.

    TLDR: Amazing late night snack and drink location, exactly what Alhambra needed! Amazing appetizers, with many TASTY recommendations. I will admit they err on the saltier side. For the lighter seasoning folks, I recommend asking for "light salt." And all at an AFFORDABLE cost in this economy? Yes, sign me up! - - - - - - Kue's, a recent addition to Alhambra, is exactly what Alhambra needed, especially near Main St. For starters, night life is fairly quiet in SGV. At the time of visit (St. Patrick's Day), they had a Happy Hour menu which had a ton of nice appetizers and lightly discounted drinks. I personally had a draft beer (Sapporo) as it's my go-to, but my party ordered their Truffle Fries, Fried Tofu, Garlic Brussel Sprouts, and Fried Calamari. Between these options, I have to admit the BEST appetizers were in fact: Garlic Brussel Sprouts - garlic was just right, all roasted to perfection. This was too salty, though. Fried Calmari - Lightly fried, barely a hint of grease, and a good portion for the price. Tasty, too, with their sauce, though the sauce wasn't as remarkable. Truffle Fries - a bit limp, not too crunchy and rather disappointed in this one. The truffle was a nice to dip, but I didn't enjoy this one too much either. Fried Tofu - a tad expensive, it better be worth it... and wow it was worth it! The tofu was masterfully prepared, with a light layer of breading and perfectly cooked tofu. How perfect? I even deconstructed it for a picture! Between the attentive waiter and potential manager / owner serving us, I was impressed with their professionalism and etiquette. Each action was meticulous, and their work was CLEAN. Will definitely be back!

    KUES restaurant and Bar Mazda have a very skillful chef who makes the authentic Chinese Cantonese cuisine, his Avalon is as delicious as the Hong abalone King! We have ordered a lot of Chinese food each everyone reach my standard of them high heat floating wok , which makes the flavor contains really tasty smell ! We will have cake. In fact, very seldom very few chef can have this kind of a skill to stirfry quick fast over really high heat to make the heat and flavor pantry inside Food and Veggie.! All of my friends are very satisfied with the food and service! Ken the manager is a very professional manager who trained the server, very professional! We love the big bar The restaurant is beautiful from outside, but if you come inside, you will be amazed by the long far, booth sitting are very comfortable! One thing I love is that they have two private rooms for distinguished guests! I think the pricing with the warm friendly service and Decor it's worth trying! And I definitely will come back again

    GREAT DRINKS AND COZY AND CHIC VIBES We stopped by for our first time to get drinks. They have a LNY cocktail menus for $12 each. Ordered the mango treasure and the mandarin mule and they tasted so good. I honestly wanted to order another mango treasure. We also couldn't resist the truffle oil fries. Its dipping sauce was delicious and umami with the fries. LNY drinks end on Sunday so make sure to check it out before then. We were very happy with our date and can't wait to come back and try the food; the menu is huge and has a lot of yummy entrees. Their daily cocktail menu looked great too. Great way to start the new year!

My partner enjoyed the New England IPA and said it was good! Service was excellent. The bartenders there were all kind and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside the food hall and the bar section is a dedicated 21+ section so there is some dedicated bar seating. They have last call at 9:30 since they close at 10 pm on Fridays so we made sure to get our last orders in. There is plenty of parking on the side and behind the food hall and on the street. Would come back!

    The Lucky Tiki in Highland Park is the sister location of the original Lucky Tiki in West…read moreHollywood. This spot opened about a year ago, and has a cool speakeasy style entrance at the Highland Park Bowl bowling alley. It is a small space, and I would highly recommend making a reservation on Resy. You have 90 minutes to drink and dine. I parked behind the bowling alley where there is a medium sized pay parking lot. Park in a space, remember your space number painted on the ground, and go to the pay station at the end of the lot. I found the parking machine to be extremely finicky as did other people. After ten minutes of failure, I ended up moving my car to another space, and then it worked. This has nothing to do with the Lucky Tiki, but FYI if you park there. We walked around to the front of the bowling alley, and checked in. Seating options include at the bar, tiki hut booths, and high top tables. The décor inside is a tiki lovers paradise. The room has a high ceiling with many tiki lamps, floats, puffer fish, tiki huts, thatch, ropes, barrels, netting, carvings, a hanging canoe, and a large tiki right in the middle of the space. In addition to the great décor, when you order certain drinks, special effects are triggered. There was also great tiki music playing all evening. We sat at the bar since we always enjoy talking to the bartenders. We actually ran into Skipper Christian in the parking lot on the way in, and he ended up being our main bartender, with Nick and Jo also working behind the bar. We put in a food order right away. The chicken potstickers ($12) came with five tasty bites, and the garlic teriyaki dipping sauce was good. We also had the giant pretzel ($16) which comes with mustard, beer cheese, and ranch sauces. This was excellent, and the perfect filling snack before a bunch of drinks. My first drink was the Siren's Song (Flor de Cana Eco rum, lemon juice, cassis, Oloroso sherry, apricot foam topper, $19). This drink is served in a great mermaid with skull mug and triggers special sound effects and bubbles fill the air. Those bubbles on top of the drink had a great light citrusy apricot flavor, probably the best flavored bubbles I've ever had. The drink itself was very good and balanced with some complexity. She wasn't sure what to order at first, and Christian asked her what flavors she liked. He ended up making a spin on a Tradewinds with some mango and pineapple to go along with the apricot and coconut. It was nicely balanced and not too sweet, even with all that fruit in there. My second drink was the Sun of Suns (Tierra de Acre mezcal, coconut cream, Giffard mango liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, $17). This was coconut and pineapple forward with some good smokiness in the background. Her second drink was the Whatever Floats Your Boat (Ford's gin, lemon juice, velvet falernum, orgeat, passion fruit syrup, guava soda, topped with hazelnut passion fruit foam, $19). It is served in a cool boat mug, and triggers thunder sound effects and lighted mechanical Polynesian tiki characters paddling a canoe over the bar. This was another good balanced drink. It was a little gin forward and the passion fruit popped out, maybe from being both in the drink and the foam top. That creamy hazelnut passion fruit form on top is delicious. I'd happily have a glass of that on its own. We were still a little hungry so we ordered the Hawaiian pizza (marinara, diced pepperoni, red onion, pineapple chunks, hot capicola ham, $16). It was another good tasting, perfectly sized snack, and the crust was light and airy. We were already fifteen minutes over our time limit, but we got the green light to stay longer to order a third drink to share. We ordered the Tiki Diablo (Flor de Cana Eco rum, Worthy Park 109 rum, Alma Tepecha chile liqueur, orange juice, lime juice, mango syrup, guava soda, $24). This drink serves two people, is served in a cool volcano bowl with glowing red lava around it, and comes with a fire show. Unfortunately, right after it was served, the host came over and said we were over our time and had to leave shortly. Christian made up for it by giving us two tall pours to go enjoy in the bowling alley bar area which was fine. We were happy we got some extra time inside. The drink was also very good, balanced with a little complexity. We had a great time. There is so much great décor to look at. The drinks and food were very good, and some of the the drink presentations and special effects were the icing on the cake. All of the bartenders were very friendly and a lot of fun. We purchased up a few zombie glasses to take home as a souvenir. I'd definitely recommend visiting the Lucky Tiki in Highland Park!

I didn't fancy the flavor and this is a very popular drink so it stinks up the place every time it gets served to someone. Dark Magic $18 - Objectively not a bad drink but too tart for my partner and I didn't prefer the flavor. Service 5/5 Standard service. Our waitress got us some free shots, very kind. :) Ambiance 4/5 I love the vibes, the darkness, the decor. It's just too stinky and smokey whenever they serve the Painkiller.

    Where do I even begin with 28 West? I've been coming here for years -- back when going out in…read moreAlhambra was actually a thing people did without feeling like a sociological anomaly. Then COVID happened. And apparently, it broke everyone my age. Suddenly, the same people who used to tear up a dance floor decided that swiping right on a 4-inch screen was a perfectly acceptable substitute for human interaction. Grown adults -- mortgage-paying, tax-filing adults -- choosing video games and dating apps over actual nightlife. Remarkable. Truly, the evolution of our species is breathtaking. Me? I stayed the course. Solo mission, no apologies. The group hangouts are a distant memory at this point -- not complaining, just calling it like it is. Sometimes you're the last soldier standing, and you march anyway. Now, the bar itself -- genuinely solid. Great craft beer selection on tap, good vibes, and enough character to keep you entertained. My only gripe? It's so popular that I occasionally run into family members or friends, which has a way of aggressively killing the lone wolf aesthetic I've carefully cultivated. Fair warning: they pour some dangerously strong IPAs. Depending on your tolerance, those high ABVs will either make for a legendary night or a very confusing conversation with an ER nurse. Choose wisely. And the prices? Let's just say if you're cool with your entire paycheck evaporating in a single evening, you'll walk out either completely forgotten or the most memorable person in the room. Either way -- you big spender, you.

    Price: Scales depending on what you order. Basic beers are on the lower end while craft beers,…read moreincluding local Ohana Brewing Company selections on tap, typically range around $8 to $10. Food is available although the menu has not been explored yet. Location: Convenient spot in Alhambra with nearby parking on either end of the block. Free two hour parking is available until 5pm and then parking tends to open up more freely into the evening. Ambiance: Sports bar atmosphere. Seating includes bar stools, standard tables, high top seating, and lounge type areas. Audio quality comes with deep bass and clear sound, with DJs featured some nights. Lighting is on the dimmer side with illuminated bar signs and tvs creating most of the glow. Menu: Full bar selection including cocktails, canned beers, taps, and food. Service: Consistently strong with staff fulfilling orders even during busy shifts.
