I really wanted to love Couwami Asian Fusion!…read more The small, family run restaurant cozily braided into a strip mall one block south of the 210 FWY on Azusa had piqued my interest when I'd ferried an Uber Eats order from there on SAT. 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.

I've been coming to Golden Bowl for over 25 years, and it has never disappointed…read more Their chicken teriyaki bowl is hands down one of the best around--perfectly cooked chicken, great flavor, and always consistent. It's one of those meals you keep coming back for because you know exactly what you're going to get every time, and it always hits the spot. Beyond the food, there's something special about a place that's been this reliable for decades. Same great taste, same satisfying portions, and just an all-around solid go-to spot. If you're in the area and haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out!

JUST AWFUL!!! This…read moreused to be my go to place for really good Chicken Teriyaki. I went there last week to satisfy my Chicken Teriyaki fix and to sit down and enjoy the Soccer game on my cell phone. To start, it was super hot inside, apparently they don't belive in A/C, but worse than that the Chicken was stale and way overdone like it had been sitting ther for a while, same for the rice! I was a regular for years at this place, what's changed? it seems like they are on the cheep as far as food /service and restaurant quality. Needless to say, I cannot return to this dump in good faith! Beware! Bill Henley

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.

They also changed the restaurant a bit and made more room for people to sit and eat in. One thing I really liked is that their prices went DOWN from the last time I was there. They reduced prices and then added an extra charge if you wanted beef or seafood. In this economy I like that a lot. Don't charge the same for chicken that you would for beef or seafood. I look forward to my next visit.

This is hands down one of the best non LA brunch places around. I first discovered Namu from a deep…read moredive into Yelp for an extraordinary place to take my girlfriend for the morning. 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.

The ambience of this place was calming and cozy, and the interior was super well decorated. Very…read moreaesthetically pleasing. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The cafe was located in a parking plaza that had a good amount of space. Ordered the following: - Earl Grey Latte (with expresso) - Hochija Latte - Blueberry Matcha Latte - Blood Orange Espresso Tonic - Strawberry Lemonade - Namu Breakfast Plate - Jam & Riccota Toast - French Toast - Kimchi Pancake - Beef Burrito The drinks were aesthetically on point. 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!

We had the following dishes: * Belly 2 Belly - Overall, this dish this good. But I think the pork belly needs to be crispier. * Tusino (Tusilog) - It is usually spelled as "Tocino". Another yummy dish. The only thing that my friend was not satisfied about is the vinegar. It was kind of watered down. Both dishes had spinach on it, making the dish healthier. Good customer service too and we got our food in a few minutes.

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.
