I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon.

Upon an arriving, you will find Caramelo's located to the far left of a big shopping center. There is plenty of parking in the area, but if you want to secure something close by try to arrive early- especially before brunch time. The service here is always great in my experience! I do my best to try something new every time and I haven't had any complaints about any of the foods. Although, my Go-To is always a nice French toast or if I'm feeling something savory, a yummy sandwich. Other than my go-to order, my favorite thing is their style of potatoes. They are so yummy and flavorful & something different, other than the typical hash-brown style served in many other breakfast spots. They have plenty of seating options as they have expanded their location, but still get very busy so plan accordingly!

The steak itself was about a 6/10, but the chimichurri sauce really elevated the dish and brought it up to an 8/10 for me. I also had the opportunity to sit outside, which made for a very enjoyable dining experience. There's something nice about having breakfast in the fresh air on a beautiful day. The service was quick as well food came out fast. My server (Tere) was awesome--friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. If you're looking for a good breakfast spot with a relaxed atmosphere, I recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back. P.S. It's a bit pricy for two we spent $70

Could not have been happier. From the moment we walked through the heavy wooden door (fancy!) until we left- the host, the waitress, server, manager and even the owner were amazingly attentive and welcoming. When it's your birthday they put a nice sign at your table and everyone stops by to wish you an amazing bday. They also check in to make sure you're having a good time and enjoying your delicious meal. Now for the food: fresh, al dente and tasty. All adjectives you want running through your mind after the first bitesss. We ordered stuffed mushroom- hot and nicely seasoned. Mushrooms not overcooked and stuffing not overly cheesy. The shrimp linguine another hit with fresh tomatoes and jumbo shrimp with a nice snap. The light seasoning with lots of garlic was just perfect. We also ordered the beef short ribs. My friend said it melted on her mouth and the fresh mash potatoes- just right. Did I mention the portions were huge! Lots of goodies to take with us. To add to the dining experience we watched as patrons steadily came and went throughout the evening. You can tell this is a favorite for many. There were High-5s, handshakes and lots of "Welcome back friends!" Just an overall beautifully decked out neighborhood restaurant with so much heart and soul. I heard that the restaurant has been handed down from their grandparents... I'm sure they would be very proud. Highly recommend.

This is our second time here at Chan Kee on Golden Springs Drive. The place looks very dead/dark,…read moreand not like what it was over a year ago. Furnitures and decorations have been rearranged. It feels like they have more than enough seats & tables inside. Food prices are still reasonably affordable and foods are still delicious/authentic in taste. There used to be more employees inside, but today, we didn't see staffing at front counter. Ordered at self service kiosk. I had the all day daily breakfast quick fix: two eggs, hash brown, and toasted garlic baguettes. Simple breakfast much under $10. If I add a meat/sausage/SPAM/etc., I would pay a few bucks more. Everything tasted exactly as expected. Older Uncle cooking inside was busy and multiple tasking as usual with online app takeout orders. The beef macaroni soup was also exactly as described and comes with a beverage of choice (iced honey lemon beverage for us). Huge food portions. Good flavors. No complaints. Very satisfied. Maybe we are more simple to please with general Hong Kong street comfort foods. Overall, I do hope they can stay open and not shutdown like other locations during high inflation times. It's been comfortable dining inside each time. Uncles inside are hardworking folks. There were much lesser cars in the parking lot too. Different vibes compared to the first visit. Still yummy here.

I wanted to try Chan Kee in Monrovia but they closed down before I got the chance to. My friend who's had CK before said they've changed their menu and it was now pretty overwhelming. We ordered a congee with a side of saucy rice noodle rolls and a wonton beef stew noodle soup to share. You basically order the base (congee or noodle) then add the options for an extra charge. Each entree/side/drink combo came about to nearly $20. The rice noodles and wonton noodles were pretty good. They give alot of congee but taste was just okay. Decor was cute. Food didn't take too long to come out considering there was only one person working and it was also a random Monday afternoon. Overall, just okay and I feel like I could get tastier food for better prices in the mpk/sg/alhambra area.

The Short Rib chilaquiles are very tasty, and the flavors complemented each other so well. I would definitely get this again. It was a somewhat large plate so easily shareable between 2! I ordered the Mexican Mocha latte with oat milk, and it wasn't the most flavorful - it was a mild flavor. I liked it but wasn't my favorite. My mom ordered the steak & eggs, and she thought it was very filling and tasty. A little plain though but to be expected with a steak and eggs, she was expecting a thicker cut.

I ordered an avocado toast (like their namesake) with smoked salmon on top and it was delicious. There was a good amount of avocado and smoked salmon. The cucumbers helped to add a much needed crunch. I had the choice of sourdough bread, and I wish the bread was more sour. For the side, I had the hash brown chips. The hash browns chips were so yummy it deserves its own paragraph. If you are a fan of crispy fries, this is it. I loved to each these chips with ketchup and some Tabasco sauce. I found myself disappointed there weren't more hashbrown chips, not because I wasn't full, but because my taste buds wanted more!

Popping Yolk Café in Hacienda Heights is in the same plaza as Grab a Crab. You can't miss them…read more They are in the corner of the plaza with a bright yellow building. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. This is a fairly casual brunch. They assign you a table, give you menus, but you'll have to order and pay at the front. Not much service after you order and they drop off your food. My boyfriend has their Classic Breakfast ($18.20) and I had their Kimchi Butter Fried Chicken Benedict ($19.20). The food took a while to come out, and they came out pretty spread apart. I noticed with the other tables how one person would be halfway through by the time the other person's food came. My boyfriend's food came out before mines and I told him to eat first but he wanted to wait for me. Both of the meal came with a side salad and potatoes. I was most look forward to the salad but I was disappointed with how overly dressed and sour it was. Very imbalanced. I've been to other Popping Yolk cafes so I know it isn't meant to be this sour. Their plating also makes all the dressing leak onto the rest of the meal. Depending on what you get it can make it soggy and/or change the intended flavor profile. My boyfriend really likes their potatoes here. It's nice and crispy. It can make you full. They overly salted my potatoes so I didn't want much of it either. As for my kimchi butter fried chicken benedict... Mhmm... as a new item I HOPE they are still working through it. They put a kimchi layer directly onto the English muffin making it soggy immediately... Even on the first bite it was already soggy. By the time I was onto the second half, I just removed the muffin because it was inedible. The tasty was good. I liked the flavor combination but the execution was the big issue. The sauce and everything just made the fried chicken soft and soggy too. I want crispiness when I hear fried chicken. Oh yeah! My boyfriend also got a Pepsi ($3.25). On their menu it says the sodas are refillable. The whole time we were there I didn't see staff checking on anyone's refillable drinks. If you're expecting the refill, you might be disappointed. The experience is very casual and lackluster but the pricing is definitely on the high side. I'm not a fan.
