It was my first time having skewers and when i tell you i fell in love with this place. Not only is…read morethis place super cute with the traditional Chinese interior, the food tasted authentic too. We got the pork belly, lamb and chicken skin and to my surprise all 3 were so good it's literally so hard to choose a favorite. I think we had the PERFECT mix of flavors though with these 3 choices. we had a corn cheese (heavenly) too which i liked to wrap around the skewer sometimes. This was enough to feed my female friend and i. I enjoyed it so much i kept recommending it to my family and friends and even bf so i could have it again ASAP

I am a big fan of lamb, so was ecstatic when I saw that each order of lamb skewers came with 20…read more They're not large pieces of meat, but got the job done being decently moist with a nice layer of cumin and spicy seasoning. For skewers, we also ordered the squid, beef, and potato skewers which were all very tasty. Not alot of char but the meats were fairly tender. The golden pot was a pretty surprising hit at our table. The gold almost florescent broth has an interesting sour kick, almost like pickled veggies. Soup was a nice contrast to the meaty skewers and came with a variety of hot pot favorites like fish cake, imitation crab, napa cabbage, wood ear mushroom, vermicelli, and thinly sliced meat. Also when they see that you are running low on broth, they will pour some more in. This was especially helpful because they serve this over a fire which can evaporate alot of the soup. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated, and was even packed on a Monday night. Had a great experience and the food felt very familiar!

We've been exploring our new neighborhood recently and stumbled upon this hidden gem a few minutes…read moreaway from us. We were craving siomai and Peking duck for dinner. Fortunately, they serve both. We both love siomai, duck, and crispy salted squid so we ordered the trio. The siomai was fresh. Tasted as if it was just off a lunch cart. It's delicious and the serving size is quite generous. The price is unbeatable too. We really enjoyed its balanced taste. Sometimes, siomai can be a bit bland but this was packed with flavor. The Peking Duck was great too. Reminded us of our time in Hong Kong. Less oily but still delicious. The buns were great too. We both enjoyed every bite. The sauce was excellent too. It had sweetness to it from the pineapple sauce. The salted crispy squid is balanced. Salty yet a bit sweet. It's definitely more of the indulgent side of things. Best paired with rice. We skip the carbs that night, but we'll definitely order this again paired with something else. The service here is great. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. It doesn't feel like rushed service. Ambiance here feels like your typical Chinese restaurant. It's clean and you can tell it has aged over time. You're here for the good food though, not the aesthetics. This will definitely be our local go to. We genuinely enjoyed the food and can't wait to explore more of the menu during our next visit.

Came here on a Sunday to check out their dim sum menu. Once arrived, we were able to be seated…read moreright away as there were plenty of seating spaces. The menu includes your typical dim sum items, and pricing of each type of dim sum is color coded so you are aware of the cost. It does also have your traditional dim sum cart that come by your table to serve your popular dim sum dishes like Har Gaw (rice-skin dumpling with shrimp), etc. For items that are not in the push cart, you can order these directly with the waiter. For two people, we ordered steamed chicken feet, shu mai, shrimp rice rolls, ham sui gok (deep fried meat dumplings, and creamy egg yolk buns. Food wise, taste as expected and portion is plenty for two people. It's good enough if you are craving for dim sum locally, and don't have to travel all the way to SGV. Service wise, make sure when you wave down your server to order all your dishes, or it may take him/her a while to come back around. Pricing wise, great value considering the local area. Worth checking it out when in the area. Come and support our local businesses!

All of the items I've tried so far are great but I really enjoy dan dan noodles and the one here is amazing! It has a really nice, addicting heat to it. Another favorite are the beef rolls. It wasn't dry and there was a right amount of spread. The millet porridge surprised me (I'm used to white rice congee) - it was $1.99 and so comforting and cozy. It would probably be amazing to have when you're feeling under the weather. Also, when you order takeout, they line the container with foil for some items; it's a nice "not cheaping" out detail. In the age of trendy tiktok spots and consumerist gimmicks, it's refreshing to eat at a local mom and pop shop. Flavor Noodle House is run by an older couple, the kind woman is the server and her husband is the cook. (Note that she is currently recovering from an injury so please give grace and have patience when eating in.) I remember the first time I came here, I was moved by how nice service was. You can even feel the joy and kindheartedness through the phone when you're calling in to place an order. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist, but good hospitality goes a long way. I will definitely be back!

The best comment I got was being asked if I'm from Taiwan not because of my 'accent' but because Taiwanese people always order green onion pancake. It's just there's so much food I can eat in one sitting and she got me. Then came to talk me into the beef rolls as it's what they're famous for on top of noodles and rice noodles. I.. didn't need much convincing at that point to break my vegetarian diet. And boy, it was worth it. These beef rolls were the bees knees. The pancakes are homemade, generous marinated beef, just like what I grew up with down to the cilantro and scallion. I'm good for the next couple of years or until the next time I decide to donate blood and a chocolate chip cookie just won't cut it. Fried rice was perfect. If you're a fan of peas or green beans, you'd love the egg fried rice! Beef/beef tendon noodle soup was from what I heard and gather from the single half floating noodle left after too busy to talk by the end of the meal, delicious. The broth is made proper without cheats. Noshtalgia- satisfied. Very mom and pop shop right next to the long standing El Pollo Loco. I've heard their lamb noodle soup is also a headliner.

Tried their $10.99 Roast Duck over Rice and it had a good amount of flavorful roast duck with slightly crispy skin. It came with white rice and a side of simple steamed veggies. You can add $2 during lunch for a drink of your choice but I opted not to since they didn't have boba, only milk tea. A pretty solid bowl that I would get again. Perfect for a takeout lunch : 3

Overall, charming, low-key, and absolutely not to be slept on. My partner, whose favorite dish is and has always been spicy beef noodles, after one bite officially crowned their Spicy Beef Noodle as his new favorite, dethroning Noodle Street after a 3-year reign. And honestly... Fair. The broth is insanely deep and rich, and the wide hand-pulled noodles are fresh, long, bouncy, and soak up the flavor like they were built for it. As for me, it looks like my hunt for the perfect Spare Ribs ends here. Crisp on the outside (which I didn't even know was a thing for this dish), perfectly tender inside, and coated in a sauce that hits every pleasure center in my brain. I'd go back just for this dish. This and the Braised Eggplant with Green Beans. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was another win: crisp, light, and not cloyingly sweet. We also tried the Cauliflower Dry Pot, which was excellent, and overheard the table next to us raving about their Lamb Dry Pot.

Smaller side restaurant, located in a shopping plaza. Plenty of parking…read more Good service but may be limited in English. No problem, just point to the picture or item number. They quickly bring the dishes out after you order and regularly check in on the table and refill water. The dishes here are very good. Some typical Asian dishes but also some different flavors/dishes from the common Asian restaurant. The popular dish seems to be the Hot Oil Noodles. We got it with tomatoes and egg and it was really good! Great flavor and i think the noodles and freshly cut. Everything we ordered had great flavor. Portion sizes are good and the pricing is fair.

After trying multiple roast duck delis, I can confidently say Duck Palace is one of those places…read morethat quietly delivers exactly what you want--no gimmicks, just consistently well-executed classics this far east of SGV Let's start with what you're here for: the roast duck. This is where Duck Palace really earns its name. The skin hits that ideal balance--lightly crisp with a slight lacquered sheen--while the meat underneath stays juicy and flavorful without being overly fatty. It's not trying to be trendy or reinvent anything; it's just done right. The seasoning leans traditional Cantonese--savory, slightly sweet, and aromatic without being heavy-handed. I did not try the supporting dishes, but they had a good variety outside the roast duck. This is where you can tell whether a place is a one-hit wonder or a true kitchen. They had BBQ combo plates, stir-fried dishes, and various sides. Service here is efficient, is part of the charm. You're coming for good food, done well. Best to call in to reserve a duck ahead of time because they will sell out by mid-afternoon. The space itself is clean and straightforward--more casual than upscale--but comfortable enough for both quick meals and relaxed family meals. What I appreciate most about Duck Palace is the consistency. The price is reasonable for what you are paying for and the duck combo meal is enough to feed 2-3 people. Pro tips: - Go earlier in the day if you want the freshest roast selections. - Takeout holds up surprisingly well (the duck skin still has some integrity if you don't let it sit too long). - Great option when you want authentic flavors without driving deeper into the valley. - Discount for paying in cash Bottom line: If you're in Diamond Bar and craving authentic Cantonese roast meats, Duck Palace is a reliable go-to. It may not be flashy, but it delivers where it counts--and sometimes, that's exactly what you want.

Man this place is good. The duck tastes just like the ones in Hong Kong. I didn't get any of that…read more"duck taste", which is amazing. Most duck places in SGV still have the gamey taste of duck. My friend got the salted chicken, and that was delicious too. Their sets come with cold side dishes and rice. Overall I think Duck Palace is a great place for a very casual and quick meal. Note: You'll probably smell like food when you leave the restaurant though! Keep that in mind if you have to go somewhere else after.

Absolutely TERRIBLE experience. Do not waste your time or money here…read more The moment we walked into Fu's Restaurant, it felt like stepping into a sauna. It was 79 degrees inside, muggy, humid, and completely uncomfortable. We almost turned around and left immediately. The place was practically empty, which honestly should have been our first red flag. We decided to give them a chance anyway. Big mistake. My colleague and I were offered water or hot tea. We both ordered hot tea. The menu clearly says in English that hot tea is $2.99. Nowhere does it clearly explain in English that you will be charged differently depending on how many people drink it. When the bill came, we were charged $5 each. Apparently, there is some clarification written in Chinese, but how are customers who do not read Chinese supposed to know that? That is completely misleading. The tea portions were not larger, not special, nothing different. Just basic tea. The pricing felt deceptive. We also ordered popcorn chicken and chili wonton soup. Both came out in tiny portions that looked like appetizers, yet the menu does not clearly label them as such. For what we received, paying over $30 total felt ridiculous. The food itself was mediocre at best. Nothing memorable and definitely not worth the price. Because of the uncomfortable temperature, confusing pricing, small portions, and average food, we chose not to leave a tip. As we were walking out, the waiter chased us outside and pressured us about the zero tip. That is completely inappropriate. Tipping is not mandatory. It is earned. Confronting customers outside over a tip is unprofessional and embarrassing. Between the heat, the questionable menu pricing, the small portions, and being confronted outside, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. We will never be back. There are plenty of better places within the same plaza than to dine here. I don't expect this place to last long anyway.

The price point felt very fair, especially with the dumplings coming in at $14.85. Ambiance was casual and clean, jazz music with nice wall art. ​The food was good, the scallion pancakes were perfect for splitting between us. I also really appreciated the balanced portion control; it felt like just the right amount of food without being overwhelming. We were only ones in the restaurant near end of business on a Sunday night. Service speed was expected as cook to order. Definitely a good spot if you're looking for a simple and reasonable meal in Walnut or near Mt. San Antonio College. FYI photos are of the wall art, food was devoured.
