The Congee is located in the same plaza as Kang Kang Food Court with a shared lot with other…read morerestaurants and businesses. On a Saturday evening, my husband and I decided to grab dinner here. Because we parked in the shared parking lot, we entered the restaurant through the back. We were immediately greeted upon entering. After being seated and looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Fish Tofu Congee, $10.50 prior to tax- This meal truly nourished my soul because I was really sick a few days before and hardly ate anything. The congee was nice and hot and thick, just the way I like it. Portion wise, this is perfect for 2- 3 people to share. But again because I had not eaten much for the last few days, I ended up eating most of it (lol, had not realized how hungry I was until I was eating this). My husband did enjoy this congee too. Beef Stew Noodle Soup, $14.95 prior to tax- My husband ordered this dish and thought the soup was flavorful and the noodles had a nice chew. I also liked this dish and thought it was delicious. My husband finished most of this dish. ------------------------------ (Total= $28.10 after tax, prior to tip) Service was friendly. And because the restaurant is on the small side, it was very easy to get a server's attention if you needed something. Although I did speak mostly Cantonese when I was here (I am actually trying to make myself speak Cantonese more), you can order in English. So you shouldn't have any trouble when you dine here. Overall, coming to The Congee was the right choice for dinner and so glad we did. I do see myself coming back here for another meal in the near future. Please note that there is a unisex restaurant towards the back of the restaurant, right next to the back entrance/ exit. The restroom itself had all the basic essentials (running water, toilet paper, paper towels and soap) but wasn't the cleanest. It was decent at best.

I chose to order the Spicy Salt Wings appetizer based on the positive reviews I had seen on Yelp…read more However, I must admit that I did not find the wings to my liking. They lacked both the expected spiciness and the salty flavor. I believe I had anticipated a taste similar to crispy spicy salted pork chops. After just one bite, I decided to take the remainder home with the intention of making them crispier myself. The Shrimp Wonton Noodles in Soup certainly deserve a five-star rating. The dish featured four generously sized shrimp wontons, all amply filled with shrimp. I did sample the noodles, but unfortunately, I was too satiated to fully appreciate them. I am looking forward to returning for the Shrimp Wonton Noodles in Soup.

One day, I decided to come here for lunch with my family. The restaurant is quite small but also quite cozy. The air conditioning was ok, could have been stronger. The staff were very accommodating. My favorite item to get was the Chinese sausage steamed rice. The dish also included red onions and bell peppers which added a lot to the flavor of the dish. There was a generous portion of Chinese sausage. I also loved the seafood soup noodles with shacha sauce. The sauce was not too spicy and went well with the soup. The soup dumplings were ok, but solid. Same with the zhajiangmian. The steamed rice was my favorite part of the meal, and I would come back just for that.

Guilin noodles restaurant on Valley Blvd. This place serves specialty noodles from Guilin China…read more These noodles are on the thicker side also like the ones that are used in Vietnamese bun bo hue. Husband and I tried out the dry Guilin noodles and also the beef noodle soup, both were super good. The food is on the lighter side since there is a topping bar. You can mix and match the topping and seasoning to your taste. All the pickles at the topping bars were good. They even have some side dishes at the bar like cucumber salad and seaweed salad. Restaurant is super clean compared to other Guilin noodles places. Service is pretty much self serve. You ordered through a QR code at your table then they will call your number when your food is ready. There might be a language barrier, the waitress doesn't seem like they speak English.

When the food is ready, they call you to the counter. You can add your own condiments, like pickled veggies, hot sauce, roasted peanuts, etc. I loved the cut up pickled beans. I tried the dry-tossed noodle $13.99, which lets you choose three types of meat. The crispy pork was most flavorful, but I really enjoyed the beef shank slices. It came with half a braised egg. I also tried some of the braised beef noodle soup. The soup was flavorful, and the beef was tender! It was light in color, not like the dark Taiwanese braised beef. Service was ok. The lady spoke in Mandarin that was really fast. You can self-serve water from their Coway filter.

I choose this restaurant because they are open late, we arrived 1am and servers still choose to seat us! I like that the servers speak Cantonese and take requests seriously. After seeing they have beef brisket noodles I requested extra tendon because that is my one of my favorites... not only did they deliver but they blew it out of the park. Portions are large for the price we got a congee as well and it could feed two people. Parking is plentiful, sharing lot with Embassy.

Chicken wing is still ok however rest of the food is too plain and it's like don't enough seasoning. The vegetables is not boiled enough still to hard.

I hope they would fix the dish and maybe i would comeback and try again!

Amazing! My mom is from Hunan and I was born there and the food here is very very authentic and…read moreeven elevated. This is the best Hunan restaurant we've had in the US. We ordered the pumpkin leaves in chicken broth, the stinky tofu, and the signature spicy stir fried frog meat. The pumpkin leaves were so tender and they added century egg and spam to impart a unique flavor to the chicken broth. Thank goodness this dish was not spicy at all. The stinky tofu sauce felt authentic like the ones in Changsha but it was barely stinky, just tasted like a regular fried tofu in a sauce. The sauce was pretty good. Not spicy, probably would not get it again though since it's not stinky enough. We got "mild spicy" for our frog dish and it was still very very spicy!! It tastes so good but I couldn't eat more than 2 bites before I had to quit! They gave real generous pieces of frog too, no fillers. The frog seemed fresh, not frozen. It tasted like very tender chicken. The pepper flavor and how they chop up the pieces of meat is just like dishes you can get in Hunan and how my mom cooks her chicken (we don't cook frog at home). The ingredients are very high quality. This would be a more upscale restaurant in Hunan due to the quality of the ingredients. Honestly, I've been to many Michelin star restaurants as well, Asian cuisine included. The quality and taste of the dishes here to me is Bib Gourmand level. Hope the inspectors can check it out. There seems to be another Dong Ting Chun close by in SGV and the food doesn't look like it is on the same level. Dong Ting is a famous lake in Hunan so perhaps everyone rips the name off of each other. Don't be fooled, they do not seem to be related. You're not going to find basic run of the mill Chinese dishes like fried lo mein or garlic pea sprouts here like what you can find in a Fusion chain like Ding Tai Fung. The other restaurant on Valley Blvd has the basic Chinese dishes where this location has only recipes with authentic flavors and ingredients. Again be aware I don't think they are a chain/same owners. 我妈妈是湖南人，这家餐厅是我们在美国吃过最正宗的湖南菜馆。食材货真价实，新鲜又地道。虽然臭豆腐还不够臭，不过我们每一道菜都很喜欢。我妈妈平时嘴很挑，但她对这家餐厅很满意。我这个吃货觉得，它的水准达到了米其林必比登推荐的水平。

The good: -Service was nice when they did come by…read more -The free peanut appetizer was tasty and mildly spicy. -After a dish was remade without any spicy, it was incredibly delicious and I would come back just for this. I recommend erring on the side of doing NO spicy. The bad: -The AC was really mid while it was 100+ degrees outside. -No water refills until we almost finished eating the super spicy food. -Their "mild" spicy is VERY VERY SPICY! There was nothing mild about it! The staff confirmed that our dishes were "mild" but kindly offered to remake it as no spicy. I understand that spicy is a signature flavor for Hunan food, but I did ask for mild, which should have meant "please don't use chili peppers as the main ingredient in my seafood dish". -The dish called "Tea Oil Fried Local Chicken" was literally 80% spicy peppers and aromatics, and 20% chicken carcass BONES. This was extremely disappointing because the flavors were great, but there was only tiny niblets of meat that we could find throughout. I wouldn't have minded the bone-in chicken if there was any meat on the bones. Instead, it was all sharp shredded bones like eating razor blade without any satisfaction of meat. The whole $20+ dish was basically inedible and a waste of money.

It has that "hole in the wall" vibe, but the dining area has nice ambience and it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. We ordered the beef and broccoli (with rice) and the chicken chow fun. Both were delicious, flavorful, and came in huge portions -- we even had leftovers. Our total was about $35 before tip, which is amazing for the quality. Highly recommend this spot. It deserves a line out the door, but for now it's our little secret. We'll definitely be back!

I asked for extra vegetables with the kung pao chicken, and they added them without charging extra. Both dishes were really good. On my most recent visit, we dined in and ordered the mixed vegetables, orange chicken, and wonton noodle soup with beef brisket. We've had the wontons before, and they're always good and taste authentic. The beef brisket was tender, the wontons were delicious, and they put plenty of fresh bok choy. It was our first time trying the mixed vegetables and orange chicken. The vegetables were fresh, crisp, and flavorful. The dish also included pieces of Chinese sausage and squid. The orange chicken was sliced very thin, and the batter was extra crispy. We enjoyed it, but it's different from the typical orange chicken you'd find at most Chinese fast food restaurants. The customer service is really good here. At the end of our meal, we were offered a complimentary dessert, which was a sweet soup made with sweet potato and egg. It was good and reminded me of a sweet version of egg drop soup.

SGV classic for Chinese Vietnamese meal. Got #3 on the menu (with egg noodle and thick rice…read morenoodle), which is served with shrimp, fish cake, minced pork and kidney, etc. My friend who recommended this place has been coming for years and he also really likes the hainanese chicken rice here. Also get the Chinese donut to dip it in the noodle broth for extra carbs ;) Portion was big. Service is what you'd expect at a mom and pop joint. They do rush you to order once you get seated so be ready! Take out containers are self service. Credit card accepted.

Me and my girlfriend went here after the recommendation from one of our friends while we were in Rosemead, and we were perfectly surprised. Very delicious, service was really quick, and it has that authentic charm that most Chinese/Vietnamese noodle houses are known for. We got two soups, both of which we thought were really great in terms of portion size and price. Adding to that, nothing like a nice set of steamed veggies and oyster sauce to really capture that freshy goodness. If you're interested in trying some really warm, delicious food right after a long night out and you need some of that really good bath, I highly, highly recommend Mian Nghia.

Will surely come back and order the rice rolls.
