I think they put too much dark soy sauce for coloring. the soup came last in a big clay bowl. tasty but the veggie is a little too soft/overcooked, and not enough bamboo shoots. when we asked for check, the server asked if we'd like to have some chinese dumpling desserts, compliments of the house. of course!!! it was another big bowl of sweet soup with egg flowers and lots of small sesame stuffed tang guan (dumpling). perfect ending!! this place is a staple in the n neighborhood for a long time. the food was always on par and price is reasonable. however, this time I felt the the presentation and flavors were not the same as before. we will still come back when we feel like a quick Shanghainese food.

Overall, it's one of our go-to spots for an affordable and filling lunch.

Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving authentic Chinese food

I visited this restaurant twice before its permanent closure on April 15, 2026. Some dishes were…read moreexcellent, while others were just average. Szechwan DanDan Dry Noodles w/ Peanuts: Excellent. It was a bowl of dry noodles topped with green onions, crushed peanuts, and sesame sauce. It tasted like an upgraded version of sesame noodles with a better texture. Ding's Special Cold Plate: Excellent. This signature appetizer platter was one of the restaurant's best. It included five items: dried tofu, seaweed, pig ear, beef tripe, and spicy beef shank. Fried Pork Chop + Green Mustard Fried Rice + Spiced Eggs: A must-order. The fried rice had great "wok hei" (breath of the wok). The fried pork chop, which had a bit of fat, was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The juiciness and the texture of the melted fat were perfectly handled without being greasy. Shanghai Sesame Fermented Rice Dumpling Soup: A must-order. The portion was huge and enough for four people. It used mini tangyuan (rice balls) with sesame filling, and the combination of osmanthus powder, fermented rice, and egg drop was excellent. Also, it wasn't overly thickened with starch like at other restaurants. Soybean with Bean Curd Leaves: Very good. The moisture was reduced to just the right level, and the flavor was as satisfying as a meat dish. In addition, unlike the cold appetizers served elsewhere, this one was served hot. Braised Pork Belly: Good. It came with two translucent-looking spiced eggs and four pieces of pork belly. The sweet sauce was well-absorbed, and the meat was stewed until it was quite tender with almost no "porky" smell. Overall, it was a good dish, but the version at Blue Magpie in Arcadia is even better. The following dishes were good but not must-tries: Pan-Fried Dumplings, Steamed Dumplings, Stir-fried Rice Cakes, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup, Fish Fillets in Rice Wine Sauce, and Stir-fried Spinach with Garlic. Steamed Stinky Tofu: Highly not recommended! Is this even Jiangzhe cuisine? It tasted more like Sichuan-style poached stinky tofu. It was way too salty, so much so that I stopped eating after about 60% and didn't even have the desire to take the leftovers home. Shanghai Style Salted Chicken: Highly not recommended! The chicken texture was quite dry, and the worst part was the abundance of small bone fragments. I was afraid to chew too hard for fear of damaging my teeth. 趕在 2026 年 4 月 15 日正式結業前造訪了兩次。整體而言，部分菜色表現亮眼，部分則較為普通。 大合特色擔擔麵：大推。拌入蔥花、花生碎與芝麻醬的乾拌麵，嚐著像口感更精緻的升級版麻醬麵。 攪和攪和：大推，本店必點招牌拼盤。含豆乾、海帶、豬耳、牛肚和麻辣牛腱五種綜合滷味。 醇香排骨雪菜炒飯滷蛋：必點。帶有鑊氣的菜飯，帶點肥肉的炸排，外層酥脆內層軟嫩，汁水感和融化油脂感都處理的極佳且不膩。 上海芝麻酒釀小湯圓：必點。份量頗多足夠四人吃。芝麻小湯圓配桂花蜜與酒釀蛋花。此外，完全不像其他店家會摻過多勾芡。 雪菜毛豆百頁：很不錯。水分收得恰到好處，美味完全不輸葷食。此外，不同於一般常見的冷盤做法，這道是以熱菜呈現，更有鑊氣。 紅燒肉：不錯。含兩顆晶瑩剔透的滷蛋與四塊燒肉；甜口醬汁入味，肉質燉煮得夠軟爛且幾無豬腥味，整體水準不錯。只是，阿凱迪亞的藍鵲仍稍勝一籌。 中規中矩但沒到非吃不可：生煎包、小籠包、炒年糕、牛肉麵、蝦豬大餛飩、糟溜魚片、蒜蓉炒菠菜。 蒸臭豆腐：超雷絕不推薦！這是江浙菜嗎？怎麼嚐著像川式水煮臭豆腐。太鹹了，鹹到我只吃了六成左右就不碰了，連打包帶走的慾望都沒有。 脆皮鹹水風雞：非常不推！雞肉口感偏柴，最討厭的是，容易吃到細小碎骨，我都不敢大力咀嚼怕傷牙。

The menu is pretty limited, but the veggie pork rice was so good. Everything braised was sweet, but not too sweet, just like traditional Shanghainese food. My fave item was the shengjianbao; tasty like Kang Kang Shau May, but with a crispier bottom and only 4 an order so I don't have to eat too many at once. Obs, the ambiance isn't great, but there was plenty of parking and it was fun to people watch the different dumpling stands. Oh, and props to the people there for letting us order about 10 min before their official opening time; friendly service!

Rice and tendon are flavorful and they're paired nicely with the lesser flavored preserved cabbage and soup. That's the thing that most food lack is balance. When a dish is too strong you need something bland to turn it down. That's my definition of a balance diet. The plan fried buns is slightly burned on the bottom but still juicy in the inside. It's comparable to or local Kang Kang restaurant.

My family and I we went to The New Golden City in Rowland Heights today, and the experience was…read morejust average. The tables are very close together, which makes dining uncomfortable and difficult. While we were eating, a waitress pushed a cleaning cart/station into the limited space to clean the table next to us, bumping into my chair twice. I had to get up and move so she could pass, which was inconvenient while eating our meal. In terms of cuisine, the majority of the dishes today appeared dull and flavorless. We still enjoyed the House Chicken, but the portion was substantially smaller than before. Overall, the food was okay this time. I'm hoping they can enhance table spacing, service flow, and food consistency because the dining experience might be much better.

They raised their luncheon prices. What else is new. The whole world is in an inflationary mode. I tried two standard spicy dishes, Kung pao chicken and egg plant in garlic sauce. Not authentic flavor, not as bad as Cantonese cook makes it, but not that good. I know this because I used to owe a Szechuan Chinese food restaurant. They used too many side vegetables. There are bell peppers in both dishes. The eggplant had also water chestnuts, tree mushrooms and bamboo shoots--not a good combination. There is a mild hint of hot spice in both dishes, but nothing over powering. The eggplant has a bit of sour taste as well. Hot and sour are what the eggplant should taste like. All in all, it is ok. If you absolutely have no other place to go eat, this place will feed your stomach. Ray out!

For a more modern Chinese dining experience, I think this place is pretty solid. The standout for me was the dried scallop fried rice; wonderfully seasoned and tasted very traditional! The pan fried buns were not very juicy, no complaints about the other items (XLB, garlic string beans, custard buns, pan fried dumplings). Our food came out very quickly! I think that the family style aspect struggles a bit due to a lack of table space/lazy Susan. My party was sat at the very back, near the kitchen, so it was almost unbearably hot. I think the area would have benefited from ceiling fans. Otherwise, if you enjoy traditional flavors in a modernized storefront, this place is a great contender!

There's certainly many vegetarian dishes, as well as some vegan options. This restaurant is perfect for those who have a party looking for classic Chinese food at affordable prices. We've dined here on multiple occasions when we're craving something authentic and tasty, and Tasty BBQ has always risen to the occasion. My favorite items have been the Braised Tofu, Tofu with Bamboo, Green Onion Oil Noodles, and Cabbage. They also have set combos where you can order four dishes with a soup for $50. We were able to swap out some of the meat forward dishes with something vegetarian. This a no frills mom and pop restaurant, that's clean, and simply decorated. Portion sizes are large, and service is quick, but note that there might be some take out orders ahead of you even if the store isn't packed. There's easy parking in the lot, but it might be rather full depending on when you're planning on stopping by. I was able to pay via cash or credit card and did not experience a cash only dining experience that another Yelper reported.
