    Truffle mushroom pappardelle
    Frank L.

    Food was delicious. Love the concept of doing some Chinese/Italian/Western dishes. They have Japanese Italian fusion dishes at other restaurants so why not Chinese. I hope they lean into that a lil more but if not their food is still really great and def worth a visit. Hits: Creamy mala seafood fettuccine- so creamy and the mala flavor was perfect. Enough flavor so that you know it's there and with none of the chili oil. Sandstorm chicken wings- perfectly cooked chicken wings. The batter has a slight twist to it. Grill steak veg grain bowl- omg I didn't expect to like this dish that much but it was so good. I know the description doesn't sound like it's anything crazy but the execution on the dish was so good I gotta recommend. Other dishes: African dan dan noodles- There was def dan dan flavor but ultimately it felt like the dish was missing something. I think it needs like green onions or ground beef to like bring it out. Truffle mushroom French omelette- Def worth trying. The eggs were super creamy. I just didn't list it as my fav cause I don't love truffle so much but if you do it's a great choice. Overall, samk brings a fairly unique twist to food in the area. I hope it sticks around and I'll def be back

    Located right next door to Hide Out Cafe, Pot & Wok has been renamed SAMK (after owners Sam and Kate). I personally think they should change it to SAM-K as the owner Kate pronounced it, as I had difficulty trying to initially pronounce it - I thought it was "Sam-kuh". Look for the little statue of the cool bear wearing shades and you've found it! The restaurant is on the smaller side, just a few tables to dine in. The owner is also the server as well as the pastry chef, so it's a full hands on operation, and I respect the hustle. SAMK offers fusion food, namely Asian with other entrees inspired from around the world like African Dan Dan Noodles, Sichuan Fried Chicken Sandwich, or Shawarma Chicken Bowl. My friend and I shared the Shawarma Chicken Bowl and the Truffle Mushroom Alfredo Fettuccine, and while I ordered the Elderflower Cold Brew to drink, she got the Earl Grey Milk Brew. The Fettuccine was fantastic - great umami flavor and the fettuccine seemed handmade, they were wide flat noodles, and not like the kind you get from the box. There was also a big mozzarella ball on top, which was nice to eat with the pasta. We both thought the shawarma bowl was ok. It was so colorful and beautiful with all the different vegetables, and came with 3 chicken skewers, however the chicken was dry, and overall the dish lacked flavor. It could probably be better if they used chicken thighs, so that it could be juicier and more flavorful. I decided to try the Elderflower Cold Brew as I was curious as to what that would taste like, and honestly, I didn't taste anything except cold brew. Besides having some flower pieces on the top of the drink, I couldn't distinguish any notable flavor profiles and it just tasted like regular iced coffee. I took a sip of my friends Earl Grey Milk Brew and that tasted better than my drink. We ordered a slice of sesame cheesecake for dessert. It was creamy and delicious and a great way to end the meal. Next time I'll have to try the tiramisu!

    Went to check out the new Lele Tea in Rowland Heights and spotted SAMK Steak & Pasta House right across the street -- couldn't resist! Just looking at the menu, you can tell the chef actually puts thought into the dishes -- definitely not your typical quick meal spot. Every plate has its own little twist. Sandstorm Chicken Wings -- The name got me first, and they did not disappoint. Super crispy coating with parmesan cheese and golden garlic breadcrumbs. Way more layered in flavor than your usual wings -- and yes, finger-licking good! Classic Bolognese Rigatoni -- Loved this one. The meat sauce is slow-cooked for 8 hours, so it's extra rich and flavorful, with chunky meat bits. Plenty of parmesan and fresh basil -- toss it all together and it's seriously satisfying. Arugula Salad with Sesame Dressing & Orange -- I'm a big arugula fan, and this salad was such a nice fresh bite. The sesame dressing is nutty and fragrant, the orange and radish add brightness, plus the sunflower seeds and crispy noodles give it a nice crunch. South American Spiced Thick-Cut Pork Chop -- This one's a must-try! Perfectly grilled with a bit of char, served with a tangy-spicy berry BBQ sauce. Juicy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. If you're tired of the same old American fast food, this spot is a fun creative twist worth trying!

    人生就是在花開花落之間,無數的美好已成了追憶,在得失悲喜之間,無數的過往也化為雲煙~ 羅蘭岡東方明珠廣場裡又開了家新餐廳, 上禮拜跟我插花班的學姐來探店,老闆娘是咖啡師與甜品師 , 所以飲料小有特色, 甜點我們三個都非常喜歡黑芝麻cheese 蛋糕,在這附近算是超高水準的表現,這道黑芝麻蛋糕真的要給老板娘拍拍手,非常推薦,他們的食材算中西混合Fusion 路線, 我們去的時候點的是非洲旦旦麵,椒鹽炸雞翅,台灣香腸炒飯,義大利松露pasta, 昨天看到朋友po 的又是完全不同的餐點, 有咖喱,有牛肉, 看來菜色很多,老闆一直有新菜出來, 忘了提她們的服務也不錯,喜歡試新店又不想跑太遠的美女們, 很適合跟閨蜜們來這小聚歐!

    Bolognese pasta
    Ryan S.

    This restaurant serves pasta with an Asian twist. I ordered the bolognese pasta which I thought was decent, but beet pricy for what they served. I definitely felt that the pasta needed more sauce because the noodles felt a little dry. Overall, the dish lacked flavor. This would be a convenient stop if you are in the area and craving Italian food, but I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here.

    Beef bowl
    Fawn R.

    Really good food!! Honestly yes Michelin quality, I will have to come back to try the desserts. I was very impressed because inside it kinda looks like a whole in the wall but the taste is there! Food might take a while but worth it. The owners are always working too so I like that, they care more!

    Such a great little restaurant with amazing food and wonderful staff. Located inside the Pearl Plaza in Rowland Heights. Not a fancy restaurant setting but it definitely has a fancy restaurant taste. The grilled steak rice bowl I ordered was delicious. The veggies were fresh and steak was tender and flavorful. The Truffle mushroom pasta was also amazing. We will definitely come back for more.

    Truffle Angus Fried Rice with Bone Marrow
    Christina X.

    My friends and I came here a few nights ago! I called in advance to make a reservation and we were seated outside. The girl who took care of us was attentive, giving us recommendations and answering any questions we had. I had the Truffle Angus Fried Rice with Bone Marrow. The flavors meshed so well together and I liked that it had a slight kick to it. I got a slice of the Black Sesame Basque Cheesecake on the house for my birthday, and I believe one of the owners came out wish me happy birthday when we lit a sparkler up. I'm excited to return to try their other dishes.

    Truffle mushroom fettuccine
    Jay C.

    I had high expectations for this place since reading the good reviews and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, to answering our questions, to ordering and eating the food, the whole experience was absolutely delightful! The food came out within a reasonable time and portions were filling. The drinks are average but all the dishes we ordered were delicious and tasty. I'm not a fan of cheesecake, but the dessert was so scrumptious, would definitely be coming back!

    Naijun W.

    All taste good :P Ordered Crispy Sour Spicy Brussel Sprouts, Truffle Mushroom Alfredo Fettuccine, Crawfish Angel Hair and Steak. You mush try the black sesame cheese cake!

    Tiramisu (A must for any tiramisu lover! Light, creamy)
    Caroline X.

    This place completely surprised me! We came on a Thursday night just expecting a casual family dinner. My daughter chose this restaurant, and honestly I didn't know what to expect,the menu looked different from the usual spots we go to. But every single dish turned out amazing. Who says pasta has to be best at an Italian restaurant, or that ribeye can only shine at a steakhouse? Here, the dishes feel like a thoughtful East meets West twist, and the flavors are even better than many traditional places. You can taste the creativity and the heart the chef (also the owner) puts into the food. Another thing I really love: everything was delicious without being overly salty,a detail that made the meal even more enjoyable. Simply put: everything was delicious. I'm usually a picky eater, but I'll definitely be coming back here often. Highly recommended!

    A little gem in RH. It's a husband and wife owned business. Sam is the chef and Kate is a pastry chef. It's their passion to create their own delicious plates All the food taste very good with nice presentation. We tried black sesame cheese cake which is full of flavor and not too sweet

    Jashley L.

    My mom and I shared a bowl of the mushroom truffle pasta and a steak & grain bowl. You get a satisfying mouthful bite from the wide pasta noodles covered in all that creamy flavorful sauce, & the steak was so soft to chew and perfectly cooked to medium rare perfection! even the rice & veggies in the steak bowl were full of flavor! This restaurant is owned by a couple and the name of the restaurant is named after them, which I thought was so sweet! I love when couples come together with their passions & they share it with the world you can tell the food is cooked with love! Thank you for the kind service & quality food you two!! I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu :)

We were even given rolls with butter as well. We actually chose this place because they have a cheese wheel and no one ended up ordering that. They also were very attentive and refilled our water without us asking. I got the rigatoni a las vodka with chicken, and my two other friends got the baked rigatoni and the fettuccine Alfredo. Our dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the chocolate Gelato and tiramasu for dessert. Those were a perfect night cap to our dinner and catch up session. The restaurant is deceptively big and had a whole back area, I am guessing for large parties. It was very clean and we were able to catch up without any issues. I definitely recommend coming here for the food and excellent service.

This is a tough review to write because it appears to be a family-run business, but hopefully the criticism is taken constructively. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt unwelcoming. There didn't seem to be a host or anyone greeting customers. We stood there somewhat aimlessly while employees behind the counter looked over at us without really acknowledging us or explaining where to go. One particularly strange thing we noticed was customers being turned away at the door and told there would be a wait, despite several tables appearing to be open. Then, about five minutes later, another couple walked in and was seated without any issue. Maybe there was an explanation for it, but from a customer's perspective, it was confusing and came across as very inconsistent. Unfortunately, the meal didn't improve things. The food was very bland and lacked the flavor I would expect from a good Italian restaurant. The bread we received tasted stale and was noticeably burnt. For comparison, I would honestly put the overall food quality below what you would expect from Olive Garden. Table service was almost nonexistent. Getting assistance throughout the meal was difficult, and even trying to pay the bill and leave felt like a journey. What concerned me even more was seeing several other customers spoken to in a way that came across as unnecessarily rude. I really wanted to understand why this place has such strong reviews, but based on our experience, I simply can't recommend it. Better hospitality, more consistent treatment of customers, more attentive service, and improvements to the food would go a long way.

The lady was nice and said she would upgrade me to a different type of pastrami that actually cost more. Well whatever this crap was it didn't taste like pastrami at all. I got one soft bread and one crispy bread and the crispy bread could've chipped a tooth on a normal mouth so thank God I've got implants. Both sandwiches were painfully boring and I wish I had something good to say. I'm not sure what was put in my wife's sandwich either when she got explosive diarrhea less than 10 minutes after eating her sandwich? The cold cuts tasted off and I wanna say that they were rotten because I've been burping it all day. Something positive? I guess the store looked nice on the inside? Anyhow, without a doubt I will not be back because if Subway can make a better sandwich than you guys you're in trouble. And subway sucks by the way. Claro's... nah More like stay "Clearo" of this place.

    If you're looking for delicious Italian food that's worth the drive, this place is definitely worth…read morevisiting in La Puente! We ordered the Chicken Alfredo, Chipotle Chicken Pasta, pizza, and salad, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the Chicken Alfredo was the standout. The sauce was incredibly rich, creamy, and full of flavor--honestly, I enjoyed it even more than Olive Garden's Alfredo! The atmosphere was another pleasant surprise. While the outside of the restaurant may not immediately catch your attention, don't let that fool you. The inside is beautifully decorated, cozy, and full of charm. It's a smaller restaurant, which made it feel welcoming and comfortable. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. We also loved watching the soccer game on the big screen while enjoying our meal. My only suggestion would be to give a little more attention to the restrooms. They could be cleaned more frequently, and making sure hand soap is always stocked would really enhance the overall experience. Overall, the amazing food, welcoming service, cozy atmosphere, and great portions make this restaurant an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be making the trip back to La Puente again!

Dani was the best server ever here- if you get here, you will be treated well FOR SURE! :) I grew up going to this Olive Garden, so I of course had to come here for dinner with my mom! I ensured to check in with the manager beforehand via call to ensure the outdoor patio was dog-friendly, to which they responded yes and to come by! We sat ourselves in the patio while my partner flagged a waiter to let them know we were outside, and were greeted warmly. Dani was our server and was so, so kind! She offered my dog water and got our drinks and food out fast, and never forgot to ask if we were doing well + needed refills. DRINKS: -Desert Pear Limonata -Strawberry Passionfruit Limonata APPETIZER: -Lasagna Fritta FOOD: -Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo -Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo -Eggplant Parmigiana -and of course the neverending bread and salad! Food was just pretty good, just as I remember it! Thank you Dani for the amazing service and for the memories, olive garden!
