Major Dumpling is a great spot for XLB…read more Honestly, this outshines other "major" dumpling spots with long lines. We enjoyed this more so than the two big ones from South Coast Plaza and were stunned by the quality of their food here. We enjoyed every bite. We couldn't find a flaw in any of their dishes. Each dish was flavorful and you just couldn't get enough. The serving size is generous too. You really get your moneys worth here. The service here is excellent too. They only had one server here when we visited but she gave great service to everyone in the restaurant. She was attentive and very hospitable which made our experience even more pleasant. The place is fairly small and the overall aesthetics of the restaurant is fine. You're here for the food, not the ambiance. Skip those long lines and go here instead. Trust me, it's worth the visit.

We ordered the trifecta Chinese food of Yummies, namely, XLB, beef rolls, and potstickers. I'm happy to say that they were all delicious and the XLB's were folded in a special distinct pattern that differ from the typical shape you find at DTF and elsewhere. and I had good conversations with my friend, what else could you ask for?

I ordered a pork banh mi and shrimp spring rolls to go and I'll give it a 3.6/5 stars…read more I parked right in front of the establishment and order at the front counter right away. The food took around 10-15 mins and I brought it home to eat right away. The pork banh mi was delicious and I even went back another day to try out the beef banh mi (equally as delicious). I loved the pate sauce and the juicy meat in the banh mi. The baguette was also crunchy and the jalapenos added a nice kick to the sandwich. The spring rolls were a little less desirable and dry. Despite the peanut sauce it came with, I did not really enjoy the rolls as the meat and noodles were dry. I would not order those again, but the banh mis were delicious. I'd give the banh mis themselves a 4/5 but I lowered the rating solely because of the spring rolls.

First time I've ever had this dish. Pleasantly surprised…read more Got the spicy miso and the Champion, also the Yuzu tea. Everything was great. Tea wasn't overly sweetened, and quite pleasant and refreshing. The tea didn't have the bitter yuzu aftertaste that some people don't like. The server turned out to be one of the managers and he was great! Helped us decided and didn't try to upsell us towards anything crazy. I don't forget the rice at the end. Reminds me of a creole pan roast. Location was clean and simple. Can't wait to go back.

This restaurant has been sitting in my bookmarks for awhile, so had to finally give them a try…read more They serve both regular soup ramen and mazesoba. However, I would highly recommend their mazesoba as it is one of few spots that serves such a niche dish. Mazesoba is a dry ramen dish that incorporates garnishes along with meats and sauces topped with a runny soft boiled egg. The waitress was absolutely amazing with her friendliness and patience with my friends and I. The waitress recommended their Chanpion and Saikoro Mazesobas. I opted for the Champion and it sure was absolutely mindblowing with its texture and flavor. This spot will definitely be somewhere I will be returning to. Recommend! Note: There is a odd smell within the restaurant, but beyond that, this spot is solid.

Fu Restaurant is a fantastic hidden gem in Walnut that serves incredibly authentic, warm, and…read morecomforting homestyle Chinese dishes. The restaurant has a very grounded, down-to-earth vibe with piping hot food that makes you feel right at home. I was pleasantly surprised to learn from the owners that they previously provided catering services during the domestic Olympic and Paralympic Games in China, and they now also handle conference meals and boxed lunches here in LA. This solid culinary background really shines through in their reliable approach. Whether you are grabbing a quick solo meal or sharing a few dishes with friends, this is a highly recommended spot for genuine flavors. Taste: I was initially curious about the "Colorful Rice Bowl" and whether it would actually live up to the name, but it definitely did! It's packed with a half braised egg, tofu, minced meat, tomato and egg stir-fry, broccoli, and cold seaweed salad. It's a perfect balance of meat and veggies, making it a very filling and nutritious choice. The Three-Cup Chicken was rich with sauce and deeply flavorful, perfect for mixing with rice. The Shanghai Spare Ribs had a slightly crispy exterior with a generous coating of sweet and sour sauce. The Satay Beef was exceptionally tender with a prominent, savory flavor. To balance out the hot dishes, the Mapo Tofu was silky and well-seasoned, while the Cold Beef Salad was refreshing and appetizing. Ambiance: The restaurant is not a massive space, but it feels cozy and welcoming. The dishes are served piping hot, which adds to the comforting, home-style dining experience. It's a great spot whether you're grabbing a quick solo meal or sitting down to order a few dishes with friends. Price: The value is fantastic. The Colorful Rice Bowl is only $9.90, and considering the generous portion size and variety of ingredients, it's a steal. The other homestyle dishes are also very reasonably priced for the quality and portion sizes you get. Service: The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Chatting with them about their professional catering background really made the experience special. It's clear they have a lot of culinary experience, which reflects in their attentive and reliable service. Recommended: I highly recommend the Colorful Rice Bowl ($9.90) for anyone dining alone or looking for a quick, well-rounded meal. If you're sharing, definitely try the Three-Cup Chicken, Shanghai Spare Ribs, and Satay Beef. The Mapo Tofu and Cold Beef Salad are also great additions to round out the table. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving some warm, authentic homestyle Chinese food!

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.

Its about $5/$6 a pocket and I do think that they're pretty stacked. I got here right at opening and probably waited around 20 minutes for my food. There's so many toppings to choose from but I think my top 4 would have to be the fresh salmon, fresh ginger tuna, grilled bulgogi & fluffy egg.

The place is small but neatly arranged with a few round white tables in the middle and some square ones on the sides. Chiller containing variety of drinks on one side of the wall and the water self service on the other wall. We approached the order desk equipped with a monitor where you can place your order and pay. The pricing is affordable and presentation was pretty good. The person behind the counter was helpful in showing us how to order. He did not even rush us at all even though the line was already getting longer. Delivery of the order was quick. They were all fresh and delicious. It would have been better though if their rice is fluffier not a bit dry. Another comment for improvement is to be generous with those special higher priced pieces like the Crabmon and chunkier pieces of salmon like in the photo. After we have eaten, we ordered another batch to take home. Yes, definitely a must to try and worth visiting again to get the other items to enjoy. Hopefully next time we go, the rice will be better and bigger topping portions that's fair for its price.

I ate here twice in one week…read more The first time I visited, I tried the bún bò Huế ($19.99). It comes with a ton of meat: sliced beef shank, pork cha lua + beef tendon. For being in a food hall in Glendora, this was a pretty good bowl of bbh. It has rich umami broth though it could have stood for more vermicelli noodles. I was most surprised by the amount of beef tendon. In fact, I asked for a side of fish sauce to dip the tendon lol. On my second visit, I built my own phở bowl ($17.48). You get a choice of 3 meats, so I chose wagyu steak, wagyu eye round, and brisket. I thought the meat quality was great. The broth, on the other hand, was having an off night I think. It had a very strong star anise flavor and the broth could have use a little skimming. And Broth offers a variety of interesting phở variations that I'd like to try. I like that there are so many different Vietnamese dishes umbrella-ed under one establishment. I'll definitely be back.

I understand that working a service job may not be your dream job but don't make it seem like a chore to take an order or bring food out. There was only one guy working and it was so hard to get his attention to even get a refill of water. When he did actually come to take an order, he didn't speak much and was so quiet you had to strain to hear him. He was mostly on his phone (to be expected when the restaurant is emptied out). Food was okay, on the smaller side for the amount you need to pay. I'd rather just go to Pot on Fire even though its a different cuisine.
