This is a small little place nestled in the corner of a strip mall. The food is relatively authentic Cantonese/Chinese. Plenty of seating inside but it isn't anything fancy (not that I expected fancy from the location). The thing that earns 5 stars is the quality of food for the price (we had 2 lunch special orders). With tax and tip it barely came to $30 and the food was pretty decent. The vermicelli was not crumbly, the veggies were fresh and the char-siu (bbq pork)/shrimp was not over cooked. The string beans were also crispy and flavorful. For $30, I'll take it and be back to try out their other dishes. The lady in the front was friendly enough but her English isn't great. Not a deal breaker for me but give them some patience when ordering. read more

Food is great and tastes traditional. Fairly priced. Come about once a week for their pan fried noodles with veggies.

I drove an hour to take my mom here for their Eel rice, and I was so glad that I spent the time! This is more than amazing! All the food we ordered were maximum food taste and authentic - almost the same as we had in Guangdong, China. Highly recommend to anyone who loves good Chinese food! Will definitely go there for more dishes again! read more

Ordered take out via yelp Order was prepared for pick up on time Food was warm and delicious Ordered house special fried rice, Beef chow fun, filet lignin, and honey walnut shrimp All was very delicious Not overly salty and seasoned lightly Will definitely try again read more

Food was good, above average, price is also a bit higher than other Chinese restaurants. They have a tricky pricing strategy here, seems the price differs based on how many people dine in. read more

They recently switched the name of the restaurant, and updated the menu selections slightly. The place is just like any other Chinese restaurants but a bit cleaner. The waitress though was super friendly. She would chat with us, and help us with our choice of selections. The food was good, but a bit pricy. We have yet to find a better Chinese restaurant in this proximity. read more

I strongly recommend this mom and pops restaurant. My wife and I love the family atmosphere the food was amazing The restaurant was clean and great customer service. read more

OMG! Where do I start? I've been here a couple of times now and I try something new each time. I have yet to try a dish that was not delicious. I have to use a fork because I can't pick up the food fast enough with chopsticks lol It is mandatory to get their fried rice and mushroom fries! So far my favorite dish has been the Filet Mignon that comes with mushrooms and bell peppers. It was so juicy and flavorful that I kept eating the mushrooms. Ironically, I do not even like mushrooms. I was shocked! The lemon tea is good, you can tell they do not skimp out on the tea The Thai tea is my favorite. For the amount of food you get, the pricing is reasonable. Customer service is good, very attentive and friendly Parking is easy to find making it a plus. read more

Ordered a Christmas feast and it was made and delivered promptly. We loved the spicy eggplant, crispy tofu, veggie lo mein and green beans. Appreciate the ability to make one of the dishes vegetarian from our request. Delicious meal! read more

One of the best Chinese cuisine in the area. Their food are very flavorful and have the right amount of seasoning. Me and my family did dine in once and it is very clean and tidy. The food arrived pretty fast. The waiter lady is super nice and would talk with us and recommend what food to get. read more

Normally this place is really good even for take out- but yesterday I ordered fried rice with no shrimp because I'm allergic and I got shrimp. The rice was not fresh, it was hard so I could tell it was overcooked of old rice. Nor the same. They gotta read the order for sure before they send it out. read more

This place is a rip off, I visited this place on Sunday July 10th I placed one order of walnut shrimp wich it's stated on the signage outside of the establishment. Woman behind counter gave me a price of $14.95 and when I received my bank statement she changed me $20.95, I called the restaurant. Conveniently. This restaurant didn't want to take accountability for there mistake and refused give me the difference. I will never visit this place again. Thieves... read more

This place is way overpriced for non-authentic eel rice! They put cilantro and not just ginger covering the authentic taste. The other dishes I ordered were just so so compare to other restaurants. $94 before tip for 3 low quality dishes is just rip-off for me! Two workers attending to customers on a busy Saturday dinner is ridiculous. I could have walked out after my meal and they would never noticed. I'm don't know why others giving 5 and 4 stars. Just beware! read more

The person who answered the phone and took the order was efficient and fluent in English which was refreshing. Some of the dishes were inconsistent, some bland, some salty, and other dishes that were ordered extra spicy weren't prepared as requested. I would go back as the food overall was good with a little bit of adjustment. read more

Food is fresh, service is great and ambiance is very calm... love their house fried rice(10 out of 10) it had bits of beef, chicken and shrimp in it with eggs & green onion... the salt n pepper pork is my favorite (10 out of 10)... salt n pepper fish so yummy (10 out of 10)... house noodles (8 out of 10) and their orange chicken (7 out of 10)... overall I give it a 5 star! Love the delicious food, good and attentive service and it's a hidden gem in Baldwin Park for sure!! read more

My husband and I love eating here! The food is amazing, and the wait staff is always so friendly. They give our son a lollipop every time we come in and really make him feel special. Even more importantly, the food comes out quickly and is always hot and fresh. We love the chow mein, honey and walnut shrimp, and the orange chicken. The green beans are also delicious! Just make sure you tell them if you don't want spice. I should also mention the ambiance. It's not too loud or obnoxious, and the design and setup is very tasteful. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try a good Chinese restaurant! read more

Good authentic Chinese food in an area that's not typically Chinese. Was able to get all kinds of Cantonese classics, like duck, pork, beef stew read more

Papa Lu's was the former Three's Kitchen. It's the same Cantonese-style dishes as Three's Kitchen.

Very tasty food but the prices don't match the location. Inside is clean. Staff was attentive.

Staff was nice, location is clean, taste was ok. Had pork chop with spicy salt, wonton soup, shrimp fried rice, and an order of beans stir fried with garlic (I forgot the actual name of this plate). read more

The staff is very friendly n efficient. The prices are ok and the food is more salty than I would have liked. The Singapore vermicelli is small in portion. The lamb stew is good. The pork shoulder is not too crispy and dry meat! read more

Great food! The business used be another name and still amazing choices. Fast (and I mean fast) confirmation of my order and delivery. Everything is packed neatly and delivered hot and fresh. Will order again no doubt. Thank you! read more

Good service, the dumplings was hot and delicious. Vegetables are fresh and cooked to perfection. I love how they have pictures on the menu and all over the walls so we can see how beautiful the dishes are. That way we can try different things that they have to offer. The lobster dish was yummy read more

First time ordering delivery...food came fast and hot! The roast duck was so moist tender and juicy with a nice crisp skin! Will definitely be ordering again! read more

New ownership ? I tried twice to at least get a second try, every time make everyone disappointed.

Delicious definitely coming back ate it on my 30 minute lunch break Kung Pao Chicken was Excellent just what I needed. Just wish my lunch was later so I could come more often. Very friendly service & Authentic. read more

A great spot for some classic Chinese dishes and to support a local family owned restaurant. The people there were very nice and attentive. Highly recommend the house special lobster, definitely worth the price. read more

Delicious food and great service I recommend this place. They offer free rice with your dishes which is a plus.

This is a hidden gem, it's a very simple traditional Chinese restaurant, but has some unique options on their menu. Must try mushroom fries!

This place is changing ownership very often, the prices are super high and the taste is not good. They charge for anything except water. Don't order the spicy wonton which had no taste at all. We ordered the mushroom with beef which was super salty, the waitresses were rude. Never will return. read more

The food is just lick your fingers good! Everything we tried was good. For your first time, just let the hostess recommend the dish if you're not experienced with Chinese food. Try it, you won't regret it. The personnel are very nice and helpful. The ambiance is traditional Chinese in California. read more
