    Salted fish and chicken rice vermicelli
    Allyson D.

    In the Square food court and been going here for years! Super fresh and most things are $10. The chef is really good and his food has really good "wok hay"= wok fire!

    Located in a food court, this place was pretty good. I tried out the pork & preserved egg porridge and it was definitely one of the best porridges I've had. They throw in some sesame oil on top which really gives it a nice slight nutty flavor. Super hot and soothing for the soul. Also got the beef and wonton noodle soup and it was pretty good as well. The beef was tender and wontons filling were juicy. Pretty standard bowl of soup but delicious. The prices here are certainly reasonable and on the lower end but it is cash only.

    The soup base lacked a little flavor otherwise was delicious. The bell pepper with beef noodles was incredibly flavored, and the perfect mix of textures.

    Wonton noodle soup
    Vicki C.

    Damn near perfect wonton noodle soup. Six large wonton with big pieces of bouncy shrimp and smooth pork filling, big pieces of Chinese broccoli, and egg noodles not overcooked. Not too salty and not oily. Haven't tried their other items but I think they would be solid based on the wonton soup.

    sauce n container surcharge

    finally i have been calling since 7.7.2024 today i m here n ordered the wet seafood stir fried rice noodle. total $11 CASH. the taste is okay i can taste little of work rice noodle flavored (鑊味 ) i think if they stir fry the noodle a little longer (with fire on) like golden rice noodle n add a little dark soy sauce in it to make the appearance better also i don't think they should charge $0.25 for a pack of soy sauce. i dont think i will order from them. i think ZHOU restaurant next to it or golden ox restaurant are better

    The preserved egg and pork porridge was amazing! Love the flavor and the brisket beef wonton noodles was good, but could be better.

    $5 bucks for dumpling and beef tendon noodle

    If you're looking for some cheap and quick eats, come to this place. You can find rice or egg noodle soup, fried noodle or rice to eat. Food ranges between $4-$6. A number will be given to you after ordering so they can call it out loud when food is ready. Cash only, however, there is an ATM in the plaza. I came here with my relatives, we had three people in our party and we ordered 2 bowls of beef tendon / wonton noodle soup and a fish ball rice noodle soup , plus a stir fried soy sauce egg noodle and the total was less than $20. The price is worth what you're paying, the portion servings are HUGE. Has a parking lot, avoid parking when it's lunch time because it's madness. Try street parking

    Options! It is always good to have many. If you cannot find a dish you like here, there is bound to be something you will within footsteps at adjacent restaurants. It is hard to fathom not finding a dish you would like here, however, with 137 items on its menu: consisting of lo mein, fried noodles, soup noodles, porridges, soup, rice dishes, fried rice, popular Chinese dishes and appetizers. Located in the Square Market food court in Rosemead. There are a handful of Chinese noodle houses to choose from. Perhaps the most popular spot to eat, judging by the longer lines and wait time to get your order. What they do right: all dishes are made-to-order, plentiful and cheap! I notice prices are generally at least a dollar less than other noodle houses that prepare many of the same dishes. Certainly, this gets noticed and contributes to its popularity. The Beef Brisket Noodle Soup ($4), Beef Chow Fun with Soy Sauce ($5.75) and Chicken Chow Mein with Crispy Noodle in Black Bean Sauce in Gravy ($5.75) are all good choices but the beef chow fun was easily the best of the three. The noodles were fresh and bouncy, the beef slices were well sauteed: good flavor, not too sweet or heavy with sauce. From my perspective, there are better Chinese noodle houses but few can match their prices. A good choice if you are looking for some variety, a "penny pincher" or just on a tight budget. CASH ONLY. There is an ATM machine, however, located in the food court.

    ***The Fast and the Furious Crispy Noodle!*** Fast, Furious, Hot and Cheap ($4.90 Lunch/Dinner)! Located in the food court, the Yelp Monocle found this spot for us. No English sign. Imagine a couple of white dudes walking around pointing their phone at the shops while searching for something in a completely Asian mall. We did get looks. We were the tourists. Finally, one smile and it was dead center where the Monocle guided us to.. Xi Guan Noodle House. Friendly smiles, kind advice, and $4.90 later and the food came out Fast and Furious. This steaming hot and extra crispy noodle with yummy sauce, your choice of meat and veggies was unbelievable in quality and quantity! I am a fan! If you do not know what the Yelp Monocle is.. You must find out!

    No store sign...in English.  That's ok! Food is not in English either.
    Robert P.

    Xi Guan is a powerful little kitchen, and pretty cheap, which a working man can appreciate. There's no store sign in English, but that's ok, the food is not English either. Ha! For me, few things are better than having Chinese food surrounded by Chinese, or Indian food surrounded by Indians, and so on. For cheap AND huge portions, try Hi Pie Shau May down the road. No shame in that, it's just that Xi Guan is a bit higher quality and more modest portions. Nice big menu too! Has been on my Bookmark list ever since it earned 5 stars from some illustrious Yelpers. If you can get past everyone playing bumper cars in the parking lot--what is it with the drivers at this shopping center?, Xi Guan is more than worth repeat visits to go down the menu.

    Seafood porridge and soy sauce stir fried rice rolls
    Eva I.

    It's been a while since I came to this food court that Xi Guan Noodle House is located at. It feels nostalgic coming back after years have passed. This still is a popular spot for locals to grab a cheap quick bite and also seniors to chill and meet up with their friends. The number of food stalls here haven't changed over the years, and certain dishes are priced just like the old days. I came wanting to try Tasty Food's Hainan Chicken, but they were sold out until dinner time. We decided to order from Xi Guan since it has pictures for this soy sauce stir fried rice rolls special and we just wanted classic comforting Cantonese food. We placed an order for the rice rolls and porridge (total cost around $11) and was told it would take 45 minutes. The wait was manageable since the food court is adjacent to a supermarket. We killed time there and came back to piping hot food. For the price, the food was satisfying. The porridge had pieces of fish and squid that were tender and fresh, and the rice rolls were flavorful without being overly greasy. The price and portion more than justify the longer wait.

    Beef stew chow mein. $5.50 is as cheap as it gets!!
    Sam T.

    Whoa whoa! I don't care if this is a food court! These are dirt cheap prices!! I was in the area for lunch so I dropped by the food court in this shopping center. I geared towards this place thanks to Yelp. I did take 3 - 4 minutes of starring at this place up and down to make sure this was the one. The place does not have an English sign. Food: Now I've had food in this food court before. I like allof the vendors except Har Lam Kee because their food has a weird after taste to it. The food at Xi Guan Noodle House is exceptionally good. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a pan fried noodle. They must use a basket of some sort because the noodle was fried in a perfect round shape. I order beef stew pan fried noodles which had a few bok choys in there. Noodles fried perfect. Beef stew was delicious! Service: I didn't come to the food court for amazing service. To my surprise I connected with the chef because he speaks my father's dialect (something you don't see too often in the 626). Very friendly guy. The gal who took my money on the other hand gave me a few eye rolls for no reason and was on the phone the whole time. Environment: You're sitting out in the food court area. People are walking and starring at what you're eating. Not the most comfortable place but for the price who can complain? Price: $5.50 for a freshly cooked dish. $5.50....$5.50! $2.95 for chicken porridge with the fried donut things. WOW..... Food: 5 Service: 4 Environment: 3 Price: 5

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.

    I wasn't expecting a single beef rib to be this impressive. The first thing that caught my…read moreattention was the size. It looked like something straight out of a food show. Thankfully, the taste lived up to the appearance. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It came right off the bone without falling apart completely, which gave it a really satisfying texture. What I liked most was that the beef itself was the star of the dish. It had a rich, smoky flavor and didn't rely on heavy seasoning or sauce to stand out. The lime wedges on the side were a surprisingly good addition and helped balance the richness of the meat. This was one of those dishes that made everyone at the table stop talking for a moment and just enjoy the food.

It's the kind of spot where even simple dishes feel satisfying and consistent, and nothing felt like a miss. Love their XLBs! The restaurant was also noticeably clean, including the bathroom, which was well maintained and better than expected. There is however a long wait, me and my friend ended up waiting an hour one time, and 1.5 hour another time. Parking can be a bit limited during peak meal hours since the plaza has a lot of other popular eateries, so it might take a little patience to find a spot if you come during rush time. Outside of that, it's manageable. Service was friendly and efficient even when it was busy, and the overall vibe was welcoming.

The Peking duck lived up to the hype. I liked that they use pancakes instead of the buns, and building each bite with hoisin, green onion, cucumber, duck meat, and crispy skin gave a great mix of textures and flavors. The other dishes were solid too. The pea sprouts were fresh and loaded with garlicky flavor without being overpowering. The shrimp fried rice was probably one of the best value dishes we ordered at around $13 -- lots of shrimp mixed throughout and a great filler for the table. The honey walnut shrimp was unique because it came with melon, which added a refreshing touch. The shrimp itself was super crispy and I appreciated that it wasn't drowning in sauce or overly sweet. The French style beef was another standout -- packed with fresh peppers and the meat was incredibly tender. Overall, you really can't go wrong ordering here.

The sweet and sour pork was unfortunately a disaster. The pork was sliced paper-thin--so thin that it felt like I was mostly eating batter with barely any meat. I was also disappointed they took the sweet and sour fish off the menu because that dish was amazing a few months ago. The five-color noodles were light, clean, and refreshing. The pork elbow was delicious with a fun, tender texture. The fish maw soup was very good and comforting, though it could have used a little more seasoning. Other than that, it was delicious. The steamed sea bass with soy sauce was incredibly soft and fragrant--a definite must-order. The scallops with vermicelli noodles were another hit: fresh, clean flavors and perfectly cooked scallops. My only suggestion would be to cut the noodles, as they came in one big clump and were difficult to serve. We ordered the beef fried rice but were given lamb instead. It was a bit gamier than expected, but still tasty. The black fungus with tofu was also excellent--well seasoned and full of flavor. Overall, there were a few misses, but the Peking duck, sea bass, scallops, pork elbow, and black fungus with tofu made the meal worth coming back for.

My family and I used to religiously eat lobster noodles whenever we made a trip down to SoCal. The pick of the bunch was 100% Newport Seafood- no negotiations, no contemplations. Unfortunately, the last handful of times have left me extremely disappointed and heavily annoyed. The cost and wait times do not reflect what is actually being provided and most of our food ends up being left behind because it simply isn't worth the calories. In all honestly, I've grown a phobia w/ that specific restaurant at this point because of the countless letdowns. My initial taste of Boston Lobster was about 3 years ago and I had the most enjoyable meal. Due to our LA trip coming to an end, my BD thought we should do it big with some lobster noodles- for good old time's sake. I absolutely refused to go anywhere unless we would be giving Boston Lobster a visit! Sure enough, they did not disappoint! Dinner for 3 adults and 1 toddler consisted of: *Boston House Special Lobster [no spice] + Garlic Noodles for an additional fee. Medium Size 5-6lbs minimally. *French Style Beef Cube *Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves We ate like mf'n KINGS!! Each and every dish was spectacular- even the greens! While we should have gone with the small sized lobster, I'm proud to say we went down with an honorable fight. Lmao!! The lobster was cooked to perfection- meat was sweet, succulent, and so darn tender. The garlic noodles soaked up all of the delicious lobster flavors and were not overcooked and mush. The bo luc lac was flavorful, juicy, and complimented the bed of lettuce, onions, & tomatoes so well. The snow pea leaves weren't tough and old- this truly was a simply yet magical dish. Service was on point and the staff continually came by to swap out our plates full of lobster shells. Above all, there was no wait with our initial arrival. Parking is easy given the fact that BL has a pretty big parking lot specifically for them. 5/5 stars!! We dropped over 3 bills here and it didn't even hurt. Lmao- this place is that damn good! Don't sleep on this joint, y'all. Boston Lobster is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese/Vietnamese cuisine. This spot should be so much more hyped than it actually is!
