We ordered a Hainan chicken plate, shrimp eggrolls appetizer, and porridge…read more Chicken was excellent! They use "walking" chicken which is a different flavor from regular bigger chickens. 3 sauces came with it - all average. The scallion ginger sauce is mostly oii and scallions. No ginger flavor. Shrimp eggrolls were small easy crunchy bites but little to no shrimp. Rice and porridge were below average. I expected more flavor in the chicken rice. And the porridge was very watery and lacked salt. Come and buy chicken only. (But even then, it's pricey for a small portion.....)

It's a one and done place. The chicken skin was a little cold when I got back and it was tasteless…read more Hainan chicken has flavor along with the rice but that was missing in this dish. Many pieces of chicken were undercooked which made me feel uncomfortable. The ginger & garlic, soy sauce and the chili sauce were all watered down which is funny because that gives additional flavor to the dish. I was hoping it was worthy a return to this establishment, but I will definitely avoid this place. This strip mall has gone down tremendously over the years. I got less food and paid more than Cluck2go. The quality is worse than mediocre which is sad. When I walked into the place it was empty but granted it was around 4pm. A fly or two was circling inside the restaurant which is a bad sign when walking into an establishment. I ended up chucking that meal to the trash after a couple of bites. I don't recommend this place at all. The establishment needs a new cook.

Tried their $10.99 Roast Duck over Rice and it had a good amount of flavorful roast duck with slightly crispy skin. It came with white rice and a side of simple steamed veggies.

Some of the best chicken I've had recently came from a stop we almost didn't make at Burd Chicken…read more We were in the area for a softball tournament and by the time it wrapped up we were starving. This place happened to be on the way home, so we decided to give it a shot and I'm really glad we did. We ordered the lemongrass chicken and the crispy chicken, and both were excellent. The chicken itself was incredibly flavorful and cooked perfectly. The garlic rice was another standout! Fragrant, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The plate also came with a small cup of broth, which was a nice complement to the meal, although it was a little mild for my personal taste. The only downside for us was the portion balance. A large portion of the plate is filled with raw cabbage, which makes the dish appear bigger than it actually is. While the rice portion was good, the protein felt a bit limited. We're also not big fans of plain raw cabbage, so we ended up leaving all of it behind. If it had been seasoned or lightly blanched, it might have felt more like a thoughtful side rather than filler. That said, the flavor of the chicken and the rice alone would bring me back. If you're looking for something quick and tasty, this is definitely a great stop. But if you're coming in absolutely starving, the portion-to-price ratio might leave you wishing for a bit more.

The rice however was the star of our dishes and we loved how flavorful and perfectly cooked the rice was.

Service was fine and the restaurant had good vibe.

This is one of our family favorites when we're craving some delicious HK food in the Rowland area…read more It's located in the old 99 cent plaza on the corner of Nogales/Colima at the very end. The parking is VERY bad here but you'll find parking if you go farther towards the supermarket side. Yes there is always a wait here especially on peak weekend hours but the lines move very fast. You do ideally need a mandarin/cantonese speaking person however since majority of the staff don't speak english if you need help. The menu is huge with all your traditional HK cafe foods including a separate breakfast and lunch menu. The must have beginner items are the Iced Lemon Tea or the HK Milk Tea. They have changed the policy so you only get ONE refill now then you'll be charged for the 2nd refill! There on-going promotion is BOGO 1/2 steamed chicken or add $3 if you want soy sauce chicken. A very common deal in the rowland area however this place isn't the BEST for steam chicken since its abit lacking in meat and flavor buts till a good deal for larger parties. The other go-to items here are the walnut shrimp, french style filet mignon, egg plant with garlic sauce casserole. Get the short rib version if you want more protein! All of these dishes are super authentic and delicious and very consistent every time! There are secret menu items not on the menu like the stir fry two types of noodle with salted vermicelli(咸魚肉片炒雙麵/炒雙營). It's a classic HK dish with thin egg noodle and chow mein noodle mixed together. This chow mein becomes super crispy while the egg noodle remains soft. The saltiness of the salted fish goes great as the main carb. The service here is great with very attentive waiters. Yes you need to be aggressive to get there attention like at all Cantonese restaurants! This place is great for small groups to very large parties since they large tables and even private rooms available too.

Even with the crowd, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the service moved at a good pace. The restaurant has a warm, lively atmosphere that feels casual but still nice enough for dinner with friends or family. We ordered the Eggplant Basil and the papaya salad.

It was so good that I completely forgot to take a picture before we finished it! Overall, we had a great experience and really enjoyed both the food and atmosphere. Definitely a solid spot in Diamond Bar, and I'd come back to try more dishes.

Parking is also easy to find as well. It was such a happier experience coming here vs going to Kim Ky. I used to drive down to the 626 to Kim Ky get my TeoChew noodles fix but not anymore after coming to NoodleMii. It's only a few mins from my house and now my favorite spot if i'm craving for home style noodle soup. House Bowl #1 is my favorite!! I love how the soup comes very hot, plenty of soup, noodles, and a lot of fresh toppings. The best part is that it's only $12.25 for a HUGE bowl!!! Next time I'm coming by for the dry noodles!! My server was super nice and brought everything I needed with a smile and even special accommodation for my son without me asking! It was just so freshing and such a pleasant experience! it's been a long time since I had such a perfect experience!!!! I will always remember the moment and am already looking forward to coming back again soon.

We stumbled upon NoodleMii on Yelp and it looked very similar to Kim Ky. I grew up eating these type of teow chew noodles so it's an all time fave! We both ordered 1 house special with soup and 1 dry house special. I like to mix and match my noodles so I got the wide rice noodles and the thicker yellow noodles. You can ask for both for no upcharge! The fish ball was SO soft and chewy. It tasted really fresh. They also give a lot of noodles. We both agreed that we preferred the soup variation. The dry noodle lacked flavor even though it was tossed in soy sauce. We couldn't pinpoint what it was missing. The soup was flavorful and tastes pretty close to Kim Ky's version. Price point was also very reasonable. I'd come back if I'm too lazy to drive to 626!

Their HK style food is authentic and delicious. We started with the hot and sour soup and it is literally the best version we have ever had. It had a bit of the Szechuan numbing spice and was a huge portion so we took half home. We also ordered their steamed rice rolls with shrimp and chive and you can tell it was made fresh by the wrinkles in the rice paper. The last item we ordered was their chinese sausage clay pot. It was exactly what we were craving. Crispy rice all along the edges with perfectly steamed rice, chinese broccoli and crispy chinese sausage. It was hard to choose because their menu was huge and we came late so we missed the pineapple buns but definitely need to try it next time. I also saw everyone ordering the lemon iced tea and realized it's because they do free refills! That's another need to try. I felt the value was really great and we definitely are coming back. Service was also great. The waiters quickly came over when you waved them down and they checked on you just the right amount of time. The decor inside is very cute and I love the retro style. Only complaint I would have is that we sat on the left side of the restaurant and there were quite a few mosquitos on the booth so we ended up sitting on one side.

It took about ten minutes for us to get a booth table, but we were waiting inside. The staff member called numbers firstly in Cantonese then in English. After we sat down, the waiting line persisted past 1 pm. Similarly, the bustling loudness continued on during the course of our meal. Food arrived quickly, however. The price point for the delicious food is competitive. We got French-style filet mignon ($18.99), braised tofu in brown sauce ($14.99), chicken chow mein ($14.99), and a steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork ($5.99). A pot of rice was included in our meal. The steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork was a nice appetizer that arrived first. I enjoyed how the French-style filet mignon was garnished with Thai basil, black pepper, and ginger. The meat was flavorful and tender. The braised tofu in brown sauce was consistently hot on the inside. The delicious brown sauce soaked throughout the vegetables. The chicken chow mein didn't have a lot of sauce, but it was still delicious with a lot of meat included. Overall, it would be nice to visit again outside of a peak time because the food prices are competitive. The menu is expansive, and the breakfast selections look interesting. The atmosphere during the Sunday lunch peak time was consistently bustling. I think the restaurant started to play Chinese music loudly at random points so that people could finish dining more quickly.
