    This place is a cute cafe Menu has a variety of options which I really like. I picked the combo with cured meat and sausage. And a soup of pork rib in hairy fig. Everything tastes good. It also comes with a turtle herbal jelly. Service is slow though because only one lady was working. And for this portion the price of $25 is more expensive than those in this area.

    Omurice + Chicken Katsu Curry
    Channing J.

    Came here with a friend one night on a weekday. I ordered the Omurice and chicken katsu curry set which came with a side salad. Note that there's white rice covered under the omurice. While the visual presentation was appealing, the flavors didn't really meet my expectation. The curry was mild in flavor, the omurice was not seasoned at all (texture was nice though), and the katsu was just okay. This seemed to be a cantonese style interpretation of omurice since there was no indicator of japanese influence other than how the egg was cooked. My friend ordered the pork rib in a clay pot and he let me try some - it also lacked flavor. There's street parking in front of the shop and the service was good. I wouldn't come back here again but I'm glad I came to support a local business.

    Restaurant is small but clean. Family owned. Service is great. Food is delicious! We ordered 2 special steamed rice combo and a dessert. * Cantonese stewed beef brisket with daikon along with hairy fig soup with pork ribs * Cantonese cured meat steamed rice along with coconut chicken soup * Souffle pancakes with sea salt cheese foam Definitely recommend to try this place

    Finally got a chance to take my parents and family here after trying it out with a friend. Small little family owned cafe that is lively and bustling with laughter and good eats. My dad had a hard time picking with so many choices and ended up getting the chicken curry katsu with egg and the handmade meatball soup to try. My mom got the combo chicken steam rice with silkie chicken herbal soup and herbal jelly. Hubby got chicken wings and roti with curry. I got sausage and pork belly steam rice with silkie chicken herbal soup and upgraded my drink to sea salt foam coffee (love how it's no sweetened). Hubby and dad go the Macau coffee and that was excellent too! Got the double milk skin steamed pudding and the tofu pudding at the end to try and both were so smooth and silky in texture and very lightly sweetened. We did have to wait a bit to get seated since the place isn't very big, but service was quick and friendly. Definitely a place to go for quick eats that's delicious and decently priced.

    Really cute little cafe. There was a pretty good combo special that I ordered that included katsu rice + a drink. Not bad, but it also didn't blow me away. Service was good and quick. Decent amount of seating was available.

    Cantonese Cured Meat Steamed Rice

    I discovered Y.our Cafe while browsing this side of town, a side I rarely venture to. Surprisingly, this was right between H Mart and torotea, two well-known spots in this side of town. How was it missed? Long streets with well-known gems, that's how. Parking was fairly easy either on the streets or in the large lot in the back. I had their Cantonese Cured Meat Steamed Rice, and this is honestly THE solution to the clay pot rice for one, something that is difficult to find. (Most places, you'll want to have a party of at least 3.) What's impressive is that they've captured a way to reproduce the dish and all its authentic flavors without the clay pot - and serving size for one, the sweet and savory, the perfect combination. Like most spots, service was absent after the entree was served, though that's understandable, since this was a restaurant-cafe hybrid. There are other classic, authentic, ethnic staples here to recommend on the menu as well, for those interested.

    Cured meat pot and moral mushroom soup with herbal jelly turtle--part of the set
    Danica T.

    My google map GPS brought me to the backdoor of this authentic cafe that has the loveliest herbal soups and some tasty clay pot rice bowls. The restaurant was warm, but it smelled of really delicious foods brewing. The staff is very welcoming and our waiter wanted to make sure we had a good experience so he made sure we would be satisfied with our meals including letting us know that the dessert (herbal jelly turtle with a glaze of honey) that came with the set meal would be pretty bitter and offered to swap it out for a soda, but we decided to stick with the cute jello. I got the cured meats pot that had chinese sausage and small cured pork belly slices. It came with a sauce you can drizzle over the meal for additional flavor. I liked the cured meats but they definitely tasted a little different than the lap cheong I'm used to. The highlight of the meal was definitely the moral mushroom and ginseng chicken soup which my friend ordered. These soups were straight out of my grandmother's kitchen--moral mushroom soup was savory, heart warming and had plenty of mushroom and pork to eat. My friend's ginseng black chicken soup was so refreshing, if I were sick it would feel like the perfect remedy. Powerful and delicious. The herbal jello turtle was really adorable! I would heed his warning when he says it's bitter, but the honey helps and after the first 2 bites, you kind of get used to the bitterness. Overall had a really great experience here and thought the price of the set was reasonable given the variety of food, would come back to try other soups!

    Definitely a hidden gem! I've bookmarked Y.out Cafe on Yelp for quite some time but never had the opportunity to come try it out. I am so glad I finally had the chance to tonight! My experience was absolutely a 10/10! The restaurant appears to be family owned. My server was very friendly and super attentive. He checked in on my table often and even offered us refills on our drinks. I ordered the Steamed Rice combo with soup of choice and desert, as well as their hand made Beef Balls soup. The Beef Balls was WOW-ZERS! Definitely worth the $17! The steamed rice was very delicious as well. Lemon iced tea was just as refreshing. I highly recommend Y.our Cafe and will definitely be back regularly.

    Chicken curry katsu
    Marcel T.

    Y.our cafe came up in my search for Japanese curry, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken katsu curry, but it leaned more toward a Chinese-style preparation rather than traditional Japanese katsu curry like you'd find at Curry House. It felt more like a Cantonese café interpretation than authentic Japanese curry. The service was decent, especially if you speak Cantonese. Communication seemed smoother for those customers. The ambiance is that of a small, mom-and-pop café which was simple and casual. Overall, it wasn't quite what I was looking for in terms of Japanese curry. There are better options out there if you're specifically craving authentic Japanese-style katsu curry.

    We liked the food, the quality was good. The soups were excellent the steamed rice dishes were also good. The ambiance was a cute hole in the wall reminiscing the old Hong Kong and Macau, service was okay. This was my second time there. If I'm in the area I will try it again. We also had the soufflé pancakes (sesame), it wasn't anything to write home about but it wasn't bad either. I prefer the ones I've had in Little Tokyo personally.

    Used the Yelp "Surprise Me" feature and ended up here! Small cafe style restaurant featuring different mix of Japanese and Cantonese style dishes. Set lunch menu available for lunch, most of which includes a drink. Flavors ranged from mild to just right in the dishes we ordered. They also have good looking coffee, drinks and desserts. I plan to come back and try other items. Limited street parking in the front and small lot in the back.

    Oyako Don combo
    Ross W.

    It was not easy spotting this restaurant, nondescript as one of the many businesses on Huntington Drive. I tried the combo - pot rice, soup & dessert. The chicken & mushroom rice was tasty, reminiscent of the kind served at yum cha. I just wish it came with more sauce. The sauce makes the dish. Unfortunately I don't recall the type of soup I selected, but it was comforting & satisfying. Herbal jelly was the dessert, so the server kindly offered a beverage as an alternative. I gladly accepted a lemon tea. Hubby ordered a combo too. The OyakioDon was good, and it came with a small salad plus fries. We liked that the fries were very crispy. Service was friendly. We recommend this small business!

    Cured meat steam rice with black chicken soup
    Christina L.

    Super cute little restaurant located in San Marino! There is a parking in the back with plenty of space. The service was quick and friendly. I enjoyed the food and the drink. I highly recommend coming here to support this small business.

No carts, no gimmicks, no unnecessary fanfare, just legit dim sum crazy great flavor. HK Dim Sum earned a rock-solid five stars.

The 4 of us especially liked the white fish with basil and the shrimp with snow peas. The rice noodles with seafood and the kung pao were also good. That said, we like our food spicier, so we asked for chili oil and limes. Some dishes did have vegetables, but when I go again I'll order a vegetable dish. Service was stellar - personal, but never intrusive. I liked that we were seated immediately and still given time for our late guests to arrive. Food arrived quickly once we ordered. They were gracious about splitting the tab afterwards, but could easily have asked whether we wanted separate checks since we were 3 unrelated sets of adults that arrived separately. So, what could have been better? The chafing spoons were too small and too few, leaving us to pull the chafing plate to the edge of the lazy Susan and scrape. My dinner plate was too small, so I made a bit of a mess while eating. The main room is noisy, even with some empty tables, Next time I'll ask for a table in the quiet section (to the right when coming in the main door.) I've driven past Newport Seafood many times and not gone in because the parking lot was already full, and it's not my style to park elsewhere and walk over. However, on Monday at 5 PM, we found ample parking. All that said, Newport Seafood seemed at its best when serving special meals to large families all around us. I will think of them next time we celebrate a special family occasion.

Restaurant was not busy at the time, our food came out pretty quickly. At the end of the meal, they offered to help pack our leftover food along with sauce, superior service. Food 5/5 -Deep fried salted pig feet, this is a MUST get. I cannot emphasize enough how well executed this dish was, the pig feet came deboned. Skin was thin, crispy but still had a delicate layer of gelatinous fat under that's so addicting and great pairing with the complimentary pot of white rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the seasoning is not overwhelming but tasteful enough that keeps you wanting to go back for more. Great portion for sharing, however you may not want to share and just keep it all for yourself. -Salted fish and garlic chicken fried rice, rice was fragrant with the delicate saltiness from the dry aged salted fish. The dish is a combination of fine bits and pieces of fish, chicken and notable amount of ginger. I'm usually not a fan of ginger but I actually liked it for this dish, brought a comfortable level of sharpness to it. But if you really hate ginger, you might want to avoid as they're really fine pieces and would be impossible to avoid. -Sliced beef with Chinese broccoli, beef was tender and full of the wok flame flavor, vegetables were fresh and crunchy, no notes. Ambiance 5/5 -Restaurant was super quiet, I really liked how calm it was in there. Mostly comfortable booths around the perimeter and tables were all separated by clear dividers.

Let's start with the lobster. They have about 45 different ways you can have it prepared. We went with the traditional style without the noodles. We just couldn't justify paying another $20 for noodles, and honestly, I don't think we missed much. The lobster had plenty of flavor, but compared with other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I expected. Considering we paid around $180-$200 for the lobster alone, that was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Vietnamese-style fish with black pepper. The fish was good, but again, not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. We wanted to try the pea shoots, but they told us they were seasonal, so we ordered the garlic string beans instead. They were good and nicely garlicky, but nothing that made me say, "Wow!" The standout for me was the French-style filet mignon. It was cooked almost medium-rare, with lots of onions, and the flavor was really good. That dish came closest to earning five stars for me, although the portion was smaller than I expected. Our total bill was around $380, so for that price, I was expecting something much more exceptional. Service was fine. They changed our plates and took care of the little details, and luckily it wasn't very busy when we went. I've seen pictures of lines out the door, so I honestly don't know if we caught it on an off night or what the hype is about. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it wonderful or better than the other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried? Unfortunately, no. I'm glad we finally tried it because I had been curious for a long time, but would I come back? Most likely not. For all the hype and the price, I was expecting a lot more. I'm giving it 3 stars--good food, but not the amazing experience I was expecting from one of the top-rated lobster spots in the San Gabriel Valley. Parking is good.

For anyone getting off work, walking in here feels like being wrapped in a warm embrace by a friendly stranger. One bowl of this dessert brings sweetness to your tongue and warmth to your heart, instantly washing away all that workday burnout~

She seemed friendly, but not the most smiliest. They are known for their Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup so I got one of them. I saw Preserved Egg with Shredded Pork Congee so I had to get it, too. Lastly, I noticed another customer with an order of Black Sesame Paste... must get an order of that because I love black sesame. I decided to dine-in instead of take-out. This place isn't huge at all. It's a mom and pop whole in the wall very casual establishment with about 4 tables and some chairs. Definitely not a spot for large parties. Now to the food... Shrimp wonton noodles was quite authentic and deliciously good. Broth was light and clean without the msg flavor. Noodles were crisp and had a bouncy texture to it. WOW, wontons were the best! Good amount of quality pork and shrimp filling that was quite flavorfully seasoned. Loved it! Definitely recommend to all wonton egg noodle connoisseurs! Just one itty bitty gripe, portion was small for the price of almost $12. I felt I only got a few good bites from the bowl. I would still get it again though. I'm a sucker for great eats regardless of price LOL. Congee with tasty shredded pork and slightly salted preserved eggs was warm and savory with a soft silky texture and mild comforting flavor. I haven't had such an authentic congee in such a very long time. This is must get every time! It was worth the almost $10. I should have ordered one to-go... for sure next time. For the black sesame paste, this one was a bit of a disappointment. It was cold and not hot. Liquid was very thin. I'm used to thick black sesame. Taste was horrible. It was like eating expired black sesame grains. Did not like it at all. Will not get again. I almost tossed the whole thing away, but ended up adding some pre-packaged flavorful black sesame paste I had at my home pantry to thicken it. Afterwards, it tasted more decent like black sesame should taste. Will I be back? Yes, I'll be back for the wonton noodles and congee plus to try their other authentic Chinese dishes. They sell frozen wontons and dumplings, too. I will have to buy a bag or two of them next time. Thanks Hong Coffee & Bakery!
