It was my first time having tendon and omg was it amazing! The broth and the selections of meat with all the sauces just made the soup more satisfying. The ambiance of the place was fresh and not over crowded! We did go on a Monday during lunch hours and it was fairly quiet.

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 recommend Sands Chinese Restaurant (Irwindale). The food is fresh, fragrant, and filling. The…read moreflavor never overpowered its ingredients; rather, each dish was carefully cooked, highlighting the clean flavor of its fresh ingredients. My family and I left full and happy. (Important Note: Walk-ins are accepted, but reservations are preferred since it's a small location. There's also a "regular menu" and a "reservation menu." If customers want the more exciting menu options, customers must call 2 to 3 days ahead and reserve those dishes also. Concerning payment, this business only accepts Visa, Master Card, Cash, Zelle, and ApplePay.) My family and I arrived on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day (around 1PM). I'd made a reservation the day prior since I'd been searching for businesses that stayed open during Thanksgiving. Parking is very easy. The private lot is spacious with many spots. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Staff mostly spoke Mandarin; however, there was one staff member that could fluently speak English. Staff is very helpful and professional, and staff answered all our questions. We ordered seven dishes; all the dishes arrived within 38 minutes and 16 seconds. Good pace. The Salt & Pepper Fish Filet ($14) arrived in nine minutes. Then, six minutes later, the Beef Chow Fun ($13) and String Bean with Minced Chicken ($14) arrived. Then, 10 minutes later, the Combination Fried Rice ($17) and Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($17) arrived. Lastly, around 14 more minutes later, the Scallion Oil Chicken (Half - $17) and Almond Tea ($7) came. We happily devoured these delicious dishes. The Salt & Pepper Fish Filet had a thin, crisp crust with hot fish. It's gently seasoned. The Beef Chow Fun had springy, bouncy noodles. Its beef came very tender but a little lukewarm. The String Bean with Minced Chicken tasted clean and fresh; its chicken came tender and juicy. The Combination Fried Rice had plump shrimp, tender beef, and moist chicken. I especially loved how the rice felt hot & fluffy. It was well-seasoned. The Salt & Pepper Shrimp tasted crisp, plump, and well-salted; these shrimp were fried perfectly. The Scallion Oil Chicken tasted very tender and juicy. And the Almond Tea felt hot, velvety with the fresh aftertaste of almonds. Every meal felt clean and fresh. All in all, we appreciated how every dish lacked that overpowering/masking flavor. "TASTY!" Concerning ambiance, Sands Chinese Restaurant (Irwindale) is clean, sleek, and minimalistic. The tables and floors are very shiny. There's about seven tables inside. There's also a customer restroom in the back. The location is also well-ventilated as soft music plays in the background. Overall, my family and I had a lovely experience at Sands Chinese Restaurant (Irwindale). The food is fresh, filling, affordable, and delicious. If curious, I definitely recommend. 5 out of 5

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!

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.

The best part personally was the thai tea! I had been craving a good one for a while and this place genuinely blew me away :,) so many other places are a miss, with it either being too milky or not very tasty! I was so happy The Tom yum soup also hit the spot! It was sour but savory and had lots of shrimp! It reminded me of another restaurant in LA thats too far so this was perfect! I cant wait to show the rest of my family this spot Also the prices are so reasonable and at this point unbeatable with this economy
