    This is long overdue. Draft needed to be shared hehe. Been here several times now and it's always delicious and made with attention to detail. Eduardo the owner is ALWAYS very attentive and full of joy to serve us. He checks on us to make sure everything is ok with our orders. Kiren the other owner has been awesome too, since our first visit. She was concerned my daughter wasn't eating. Also, always checking in on us. She remembered us the second time we came and asked if my daughter if she was doing better because the first time we were there she had morning sickness so she couldn't enjoy her food. I love finding hidden GEMS, especially Mexican restaurants, with real Mexican food!! What can I say ?! We love it ! Five times here. No regrets. Always good. Food is delicious! Service is AWESOME! Always so friendly, warm, & helpful since the first time we found them. . :D Can't believe it took me so long to find this hidden gem living nearby and around here all the time. How did I find it ?? Well, how do I, and we all, find all my / our favorite restaurants? I Yelped of course !!! :D I was in the area looking for a good place to eat. I yelped Mexican food and TA DA ! I would have never found it, since it's sort of hidden in an area less traveled, in the shopping center across from the West Covina Mall, behind sushiholics & The Bundt place. Same center where Panera is & Sushiholics, except it's on the back side street, on California Ave. I would have never walked over there, on the backside of the shopping center. Just happy to have found it now! Besides GREAT SERVICE, GREAT FOOD ! We are suckers for birria. So 1st time here we had birria chilaquiles with over medium eggs plate, quesabirria, and ramen birria hehe ! YUMMM Yes, it was good, a little spicy for me, but good. I always have to clarify how I want my eggs at restaurants because believe it or not some cooks don't understand that over medium means soft yolks. They sometimes bring me over hard and that's not what I ordered. Over medium eggs have to be just right! No runny whites and no hard yolk. I explained that to Eduardo when ordering because I didn't want hard or soft; runny & gooey whites ewww. So I'm always very specific. Eduardo said no problem, if we don't get them right we can remake them for you. :D Woohooo ! They were perfect! Not many places get it right the first time, so they always remake them, but not here ! PERFECTION !! Thank you Eduardo!! I was happy ! Can't forget about the coffee!!! Oooh coffee! We love coffee so when the owner told us iced coffee ! Whoa ! Our eyes lit up ! YESSSSS please! It was good as well and when she saw we had finished it, she offered us a free refill. Thank you my new friend! You're the best !!! You made our day !!! We were like we're coming back !!! 2nd time, I had bulgogi breakfast bowl with over medium eggs ! I love eggs with beef ! Who doesn't ?! lol Eggs were perfect ! Beef was perfect too ! My grandson ate all my bulgogi though lol! I guess he liked it too. 3rd time on Friday 7/25/25 Eduardo always very cheerful & welcoming :) I ordered the chicken salad lunch, daughter ordered the green pozole! She's a sucker for green pozole hehe. I loved my salad! It was perfect! The chicken was perfect, pulled pieces with a green dressing that was whoa soooo YUMMMM ! This is making me hungry now. Daughter said pozole was good too Of course we will be back !! Need to try to yellow curry ! Next couple times had to order some previously had dishes like Birria ramen, tacos, pozole and chicken salad. Eduardo also accommodated my grandson, as he loves chicken but we get him grilled chicken. So he made a kids version of the chicken salad and it was just perfect and delicious too. PS good spot for kids too. They have a Foosball table ! So when they get antsy, they can go play! Kids love it and play every time. Great thinking! Thank you for this addition to your restaurant ! It's a plus for us with little ones because it helps with their impatience. This is GOLD !! Thank you Eduardo and Kiren ! We will be back next time we're looking for yummy Mexican food or are nearby. Have you tried ? Let me know if you stop by. I'd love to know what was your favorite dish. Happy eating & happy Yelping ! SYOY or IG ;) PS Support small family owned pro American businesses.

    I've been wanting to try Sabino's Kitchen for a while because the sign outside always advertises a weekday special and it really caught my attention. I finally went, and I'm honestly a little disappointed. The first red flag was realizing we weren't even offered that special. We ordered straight off the regular menu without anyone mentioning it, which made me question why it's promoted so heavily outside. Our waitress was very kind, but the drinks were almost undrinkable. I'm really trying not to be harsh, but I don't know what happened with them because they tasted off in a way that made me feel like it wasn't worth the money. I ordered enchiladas and flautas and they were just okay, nothing bad but nothing memorable. What really got to me was how cold everything felt, especially the beans. Cold beans in a dine-in restaurant just don't make sense. Nothing on the plate was hot enough to feel freshly made. While we were eating I also noticed the restaurant had this strong dirty mop smell, almost like a towel that's been sitting too long. It was hard to ignore and it affected the whole experience. From my seat I could even see some seasonings and part of the kitchen through a curtain and it made me uncomfortable because it didn't feel very controlled or clean. I went to check the restroom and that honestly confirmed it. It wasn't clean at all, which confused me because the place wasn't busy. If it's slow, cleanliness should be the easiest thing to keep up with. I tried to distract myself by playing foosball, which I thought was a cute touch, but the table was broken too. It's little things like that that add up and make the visit feel careless, especially for a business you want to support. I will say the owner or chef came out to check on guests, which was very courteous and genuinely appreciated. That effort is the main reason I'm giving three stars instead of less. I really wanted to like this place, but based on what I experienced I don't think I'll be back.

    Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) offers freshly cooked, affordable food. I ordered the Chilaquiles ($16) with asada/beef (extra $2). I selected red and green sauce. For its accompanying eggs, I selected scrambled. It's a lot of food! I arrived at Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) on Saturday (around 9AM / opening time). It's located across the street from West Covina Mall. It's hidden in the back corner, neighboring a Yogurtland. Parking is simple since its lot is wide. I was seated immediately. Customers can also find menus near the front counter. Staff (receipt said Kiren) is professional and welcoming. Kiren answered all my questions, and Kiren worked quickly. I ordered the Chilaquiles ($16) with asada/beef (extra $2). The food arrived within 10 minutes and 57 seconds. Very fast! I genuinely enjoyed my meal. Its scrambled eggs arrived big, thick, and soft. In addition, the chilaquiles' tangy red & green sauces, gentle & stretchy mozzarella cheese, and fresh & crisp chips were delicious. Its asada/beef also came thick with a satisfying bite. It's a delicious composition of flavors when eaten altogether. If I were to nitpick, the ingredients tasted lackluster when eaten individually. The carne/beef is dry and coarse. The scrambled eggs are bland and almost rubbery. And the beans were watery, thin, and wet. I did not enjoy those mushy beans. Those mushy beans had a processed sweet flavor which brought an off-putting perfume aftertaste. Concerning ambiance, Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) is gorgeous. Its interior is surprisingly upscale. I adored its vibrant, hanging plants. The furniture and tables also looked shiny and well-maintained. This location even has a foosball table near its side. Its beauty is almost undercut with how bland and forgettable its exterior appears Sabino Kitchen (West Covina) is also very clean, well-ventilated, and spacious. I was somewhat mesmerized by its three spinning ceiling fans and three powerful bolted fans as they blew a storm of fresh wind. The ceiling is also very tall. And the location also has several flat screen TVs. These televisions played the news channel and the soccer channel in Espanol. No music played at Sabino Kitchen (West Covina); rather, the main sounds derived from its loud TVs. (Quick Note: Customers are expected to walk to the front counter for payment.) Overall, I had a pleasant dining experience at Sabino Kitchen (West Covina). The food is huge, affordable, and cooked well. I left full and satisfied. If nearby, I happily recommend. 4.5 out of 5

    I wanted brunch but, didn't want to drive too far. Yelp guided me here and I wasn't disappointed! The restaurant is spacious with cute decor and although the doors were open, it wasn't uncomfortably hot inside. They have a couple of fans running so it was a nice breeze. We were seated immediately and browsed their menu. I love that this restaurant is fusion. You can get Curry, Birria or Pancakes! To drink I ordered the iced coffee and my mother ordered the Cafe De Olla. We both loved the coffee, I even took one to go. I decided to go with the Birria plate. It came with rice, beans and tortillas. The portion is super generous and overall the dish was delicious. The beef was tender and the rice and beans were really good! Mom ordered the Chilaquiles with Birria and she cleared her damn plate. I appreciate that everything seems to be homemade including their complimentary salsa and chips. I will definitely come bank to try other options. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast, brunch or dinner. Please be patient, staff is limited but, I didn't mind waiting a bit for a great experience.

    Red Chilaquiles were amazing !! The staff are very friendly , great service ! Its also very clean ! 10 out of 10 !

    Everything was amazing !! Friendly staff, food was delicious ! I ordered the red chilaquiles and my son had the pancakes with bacon !! Very clean !

    Chicharron plate, with egg on the side.
    Victoria M.

    Stopped in for a Sunday breakfast with my son and my guy. I ordered chilaquiles, my guy ordered Chicharron plate. I ordered cafe de olla, which was delicious, my son an ice coffee, and my guy a regular coffee. Service was great, food was good but this time the plate was loaded. My guy didn't care for his chicharron plate, he said "the sauce was tangy, soury tasting." He didn't send it back, but he ate the beans and potatoes, the tortillas were like quesadillas, which he was shocked because he thought it was just tortillas, what a nice surprise. My son had the same as me, and his plate was almost empty. I tapped out because the serving was huge, I was satisfied. The service was a 5+, the ambience was another 5+ but a 4 for the chicharron plate. Maybe it was slightly off. Will definitely come back again..

    Super amazing place and such a hidden gem. Not only they serve great Mexican food, but to our delight they serve really good Mexican Asian fusion dishes as well as some authentic Indonesian food. The Birria Ramen is to die for and really well executed. The Nasi Uduk (Indonesian rice dish typically eaten for breakfast or brunch but good anytime of the day if you ask me) is very tasty and quite authentic. Service is friendly and good but can be a bit slow at least when we're there. Place is spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommended.

    Picture with the chef!
    Tristan L.

    Honestly, Sabino Kitchen in West Covina never misses. I've been coming here for the past 2 years--ever since I turned 21--and it's become one of my go-to spots. The Asian-Mexican fusion is crazy good... like, who knew those flavors could go together so perfectly? I brought my girlfriend here for her 21st and she fell in love too. We got the birria ramen, huevos rancheros, and the mimosa flight--everything was . You can taste how fresh and intentional everything is. Major shoutout to the chef and his mom, seriously the best duo ever. You can feel the love in every bite. The whole vibe is super homey and welcoming, like you're eating at a friend's house who just happens to be an amazing chef. If you're in the area and haven't checked this place out yet--go now. You'll thank yourself later.

    Went here early morning with a group of 6! Super cute interior. I believe this place is like a Mexican/Indonesian fusion. I loved that the menu had a variety of things, but not too many where it gets overwhelming. Everyone loved whatever they ordered. I really liked that the lady that took our order (i think she's the owner!!) was super nice, patient, and willing to describe the different unique dishes to someone like me who is so indecisive!

    First time coming here and everything was amazing. The inside is well-lit with natural light, has hanging flower decor, and a foosball table. All of the food we ordered came out in a timely manner and was so good and comforting, my favorite was the chilaquiles with asada. The staff were so warm and welcoming. The main person in the front was one of the owners and she provided good care and hospitality to my family and I. Haven't had good service and food like this in a while, I highly recommend coming here!!

I came across legitimate great reviews and pictures that back it up. For it being Korean, it definitely tickled my curiosity. The food and service held up to my expectations. I won't go into all the details about all the different items that I loved from the menu. If you're a first timer, just go with the Namu Plate. My favorite has always been the fried kale (kale chips) on that plate. I dream about it every couple of weeks. It's that good. That item alone should define what Namu Kitchen is all about. The service is great despite the fact that on busy days, they can be a bit understaffed. That has never bothered me just because I know they are a locally owned restaurant. We're all trying to make ends meet in this economy and that's okay! They work hard to bring you their best every single time. The vibe has always been welcoming. No longer will you have to fight for street parking, go through one way streets, and wait hours just to eat at a hyped Los Angeles brunch place. Save your time and check out Heaven City next door once you close the bill.

Each of the drinks really depended on the individual and what the person felt like. Some of the drinks like the strawberry lemonade or blood orange expresso tonic were more on the refreshing side. The other lattes were more on the creamer side but tasted good! The food all looked and tasted good. If you are leaning more towards sweets; then the Jam & Riccota Toast (the half was pretty filling) or the French Toast. The other breakfast food were more on the savory side if that is what you are feeling for the day. Overall it was good and my friends really loved it! I would like to try some of their other menu items!

Interest captured by the vivid scents wafting from the kitchen and the mostly positive Yelp reviews, I boomeranged back 24 hrs later to place my maiden order. I went with Shanghai Egg Rolls and the Yang Chow Fried Rice, but I'd asked them to substitute more chicken and Chinese sausage for the shrimp, as your favorite Yelp correspondent has never enjoyed shrimp in any form other than cocktails. The staff is exceedingly nice!!! Owner/proprietor JOSEPH and his wife skate around as balls of determined energy, but with welcoming smiles affixed to their faces. The prices are pretty reasonable- My tab for a generous multi-protein entree and appetizer was $19.34 including taxes. But can we please have a conversation about the flavors? Couwami partisans! Tell me-- Did your faithful correspondent order the wrong items?! My Shanghai Egg Rolls were undercooked, limp and flaccid. The flavors were solid but the texture was so off-putting and uncharacteristic for a typical egg rolls, that I could barely get them down. The Yang Chow Fried Rice was also undercooked- I'm used to fried rice that has a toasted, beigy-yellow finish with chicken or pork cooked to at least medium to medium well doneness. My entree was, as the picture attest, a faint ivory hue and I actually hadta toss it in my skillet for five minutes to toast up the rice and finish cooking the tendrils of chicken, which were served medium rare, a micro-degree above pink but with the unpleasant mouth feel of sushi. Not exactly the way you'd expect your proteins to be prepared! I'm a huge believer in redemption. And judging by the hundreds of 4.2 level reviews on Yelp, I suppose its possible I just caught the cook on a bad night or ordered the WDT (Wrong Damn Thing)...twice! I'd normally accord two stars but will bump this up to three based on the utter civility and decency that Joseph and his staff extended to me.

There wasn't much flavor overall with the dish, and the mala was very mild (for reference, I can handle medium spice levels at other restaurants). The seafood quality was okay for the price.

The service was what I'd describe as classic Chinese restaurant service. The waitress came across as a little rushed and occasionally seemed slightly annoyed, but she was still attentive and accommodated everything we asked for without any issues. Our food came out at a reasonable pace, and we never felt forgotten or had to chase anyone down. The atmosphere had its own unique charm. The restaurant was playing early-2000s hip-hop while a Chinese gangster drama played on the TV, which made for an unexpectedly entertaining backdrop. The restroom was also clean, which is always appreciated. My only real criticism is the sweet and sour pork. The batter itself was crispy and well executed, but too many of the pieces were mostly breading wrapped around bone with very little meat. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. Even with that one miss, everything else was strong enough that we left very satisfied.

    Tried the beef chow mein, beef brisket and tripe combo for appetizer, and typhoon garlic spare…read moreribs. The beef chow mein was good-- while it was lacking some wok hay, the noodles were fried to perfection. Flavor was lacking as well. The beef brisket was tender and the flavor was there but it was slightly tangy/sour-- on the border of doing bad? I've never had this dish taste sour. The typhoon ribs were filled with fried garlic and the ribs came out hot and crispy! I recommend this dish if you like salt and pepper shrimp/chicken-- this is a fun alrernative Service was better than the avg Chinese restaurant. We were 1/3 parties so I'm not sure if it changes when it gets busy. There's plenty of parking.

    First time at B Nutritious. The food was good, and made fresh to order. The wait time was about…read more10-15 minutes, but our smoothies (not pictured) were ready in less than 10. The staff was so friendly and sweet, answered our questions about ingredients and macros, and overall seemed very knowledgeable. Their parking lot was a little tricky but we easily found free street parking during the lunch hour.

    I was very curious about this place after reading my Yelp buddy Kevin M.'s review, so my wife and I…read moredecided to visit this restaurant. Located in a busy neighborhood of El Monte, CA, this restaurant was a pleasant surprise. Limited parking is available behind the restaurant, and street parking is an option if you can find a space. Upon entering, I immediately noticed how clean, well-organized, and modern everything looked. The electronic menu board is clearly and prominently displayed as you walk in. The menu is quite extensive, with options including wraps, salads, bowls, breakfast items, smoothies, and meal-prepped dishes with chicken, beef, salmon, tofu, and much more. I was impressed by the variety of choices and portions. My wife ordered an Asian chicken salad and garlic edamame, while I had a house salad with chicken and shrimp, plus a strawberry-banana smoothie and (2) protein donuts. Each dish was absolutely delicious. The lettuce in our salads was crunchy and fresh, the chicken and shrimp were flavorful and well-seasoned, the garlic edamame was tasty and cooked perfectly, and my banana and strawberry smoothie--let's just say I wish I had another one right now, as I loved it! If I may make a small suggestion: please chop the lettuce into smaller pieces, as the lettuce on both our plates contained large pieces that we had to cut ourselves. Despite this minor item, it was a positive dining experience, and we definitely plan to return soon to try other items on the menu.
