"I had a wonderful evening with the outdoor seating they offered. I indulged in a variety of meats, including brisket, filet mignon, and beef tongue, all of which were incredibly delicious. They have a great selection of meats, and I'm thinking this could become my new favorite all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ place, even surpassing Road to Seoul and Gen BBQ. The dinner was priced at $29.99."

"I would have given them a 0 out of 5 if that option was available. After having lunch at Taipei Bistro, I decided to purchase dessert. Originally, I had planned to eat it at home but then I thought, why not try it at the restaurant? I even offered to clean the table myself. However, when I politely asked if I could eat the dessert there, a younger woman gave me a bitter smile and remained silent. The older woman then angrily said, "Just let me know if you want to eat here next time!!!! I can bring the dessert over to your table!!" I was taken aback. It was disappointing that they didn't just ask for tips instead of rudely responding. I will not be returning to this place and do not recommend it to others. The service was terrible and not worth our hard-earned money. This is by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to."

"It 's an interesting space- a bar and a restaurant all very closely put together so there 's not a lot of walking space. Parking is very limited. Food did take some time to come out but I wasn 't that hungry and had ordered the Sneaky Pork appetizer. Now I was skeptical- why is it 'sneaky '? The answer is that the SPICE is sneaky. You 're fine chewing it but when you once you swallow your bite, the heat erupts from the spicy oil coating your throat. Texture of the pork and vegetables were great though; and I must say the vegetables hold onto that spicy oil better than the pork so it was even hotter to eat the vegetables. I had to order an extra bowl of rice just to make it less spicy and give me more food. Overall it was pretty good if you like spicy. Not quite numbing like szechuan/sichuan spice but close."

"The restaurant appears to be run by three efficient individuals: a cook and two hostesses. The service is what you'd expect from a mom-and-pop shop—reasonable and friendly. We ordered the classic ginger black chicken soup, reminiscent of how my dad would make it. The blend of ginger and chicken was perfect, offering generous portions for two to four people. I loved it so much that I even ordered an extra bowl to take home! Next, we tried the traditional clay pots, which included Chinese sausage with pork rib, salted fish with beef patty, and catfish with black bean sauce. Each dish came with a generous serving of rice and a small bowl of classic sweet soy sauce. - **Chinese Sausage with Pork Rib (4/5):** This dish was tasty, but the vegetable accompaniment was two broccoli stalks, which was a bit puzzling. I expected bok choy and mushrooms instead. - **Salted Fish with Beef Patty (5/5):** This was a delightful surprise! It tasted amazing with bits of chopped jalapeño and julienned ginger. The combination was rock solid! - **Catfish with Black Bean Sauce (3/5):** Unfortunately, this dish was the least satisfying. It had potential, but it was let down by a couple of thin slices of catfish, bland broccoli, and an overwhelming amount of bean sauce. Overall, I left the restaurant happy and already planning my next visit in the coming weeks to try more of their soups!"

"Bubble Republic has become one of my favorite boba places in SGV for a few reasons:1. Drinks. I'd rate their drinks 4/5 stars; they're good and the boba tastes great in terms of chewiness, sweetness, and consistency. But nothing stands out otherwise. Still, I never had a bad drink from here, both fruit teas and milk teas. I'm looking forward to trying some of their more adventurous options next time.2. Food choices! They have tons of great dishes that are awesome comfort foods. The minced meat rice combo comes in a small portion that ensures you don't feel bloated, but still get a good balanced meal. The tomato beef stew hits the spot if you're hankering for a hot dish on a cold or rainy day; the taste reminded me of my childhood! Other dishes like the fish fillet rice bowl comes in a bento that's sure to leave leftovers for the next day. Many of these dishes also have a combo option for a cheaper tea drink as well, which compliments their food perfectly. Definitely must-try!3. Ambience. The place is often filled with people working or hanging out and enjoying themselves. It has such a cozy cafe-like atmosphere that, combined wit the food and drinks I mentioned earlier, really encourages you to stay and visit often.Be warned, the lot is a bit small for parking sometimes but there's always street parking that's not too hard or difficult to find. If you're ever in the area, stop by and give Bubble Republic a try!"

"After hearing from our neighbor about the fantastic food at this restaurant, we finally decided to give it a try today with a takeout order. Since it was our first time ordering here, I was a bit unsure about what to choose. We browsed their online menu and discovered a wide selection of authentic Vietnamese dishes. Being a fan of Vietnamese cuisine, I wanted to order several items, but my wife suggested focusing on just one dish to avoid overeating at lunchtime. I ended up ordering the broken rice with BBQ pork and shrimp paste. The flavors were genuinely delicious and authentic; however, I did have one complaint: the pork could have used a little more grilling. I prefer my pork slightly charred for that authentic taste. My wife ordered a vermicelli bowl with chicken and shrimp paste, and after trying a bite, I must say it was outstanding and perfectly flavored. We also decided to add some extra egg rolls to our order. This restaurant is one of the few in San Gabriel Valley that makes egg rolls with rice paper. Trust me, egg rolls wrapped in rice paper offer a uniquely crunchy and chewy texture, just like they do in Vietnam. We also got an iced coffee with milk and a cold red bean drink, both of which are very popular in Vietnam. When we visited Vietnam before the pandemic, we enjoyed iced coffee every morning from a shop near our hotel. We definitely plan to return to explore more of their menu!"

"I love B&R, but there is one major complaint I have with this particular location. I rarely go in to grab a quick cone or scoop in a bowl. When I'm swinging by any of their locations I'm going in to pick up a quick couple quarts of their prepackaged offerings. While most places are always well stocked of the ones you would expect to find like Pralines and Cream , Rocky Road or one of their seasonal favorites like Baseball Nut. That is not the case here, in fact just the opposite. It appears that stocking that area is very low on their priority list.Considering that there is a Handel's Homemade Ice Cream just a few blocks away who are much faster at packing a quart of more exotic flavors they may want to rethink that philosophy."

"Previously, I wasn’t a big fan of ice pops or vegan "ice cream" due to their texture, but that changed after trying Nomad's pops. Their creamy, vegan options are so rich that you wouldn't guess they're dairy-free. The selection of flavors is incredible, and my kids absolutely adore them. As a cook and baker, I admire the creativity behind their combinations and offerings. I particularly enjoy the seasonal flavors, which provide a fresh experience with every visit. The open kitchen layout offers a transparent view into the shop's cleanliness since there’s no hiding during production. It’s quite common to see employees preparing and packaging the pops right before your eyes. I also appreciate their catering service—staff are consistently friendly and professional. I once ordered a large batch of pops for a PTA event and rented the ice pop cart for another fundraiser, and everyone was thrilled. While they do offer a few dairy options, the majority are vegan or dairy-free, making it an excellent choice whether you're looking to try something new or need good dairy-free desserts. The flavor and dietary information are cleverly engraved on the sticks displayed in the case (V=Vegan, DF=Dairy-free, NCS=No Cane Sugar, etc.). A bonus for those with gluten sensitivities: ALL of their pops are gluten-free! If you follow their Instagram @NomadIcePops, you’ll see they host fundraisers a couple of times a year, with a portion of proceeds supporting the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and environmental initiatives. It’s a wonderful small business to support. Additionally, Nomad offers custom flavors and personalized sticks engraved for occasions like birthdays, baby showers, or corporate events. Any gathering with Nomad Ice Pops is sure to impress and bring joy!"

"The restaurant is very expensive for the quality and quantity of food. The taro vermicelli was really good, but the oyster vermicelli was lukewarm and mediocre. The green onion pancake was terrible, tasting more like naan with minimal green onion. I love naan, but not when I'm expecting Taiwanese green onion pancakes. The stinky tofu was not very stinky and a bit too sweet. The drunken chicken was good, but it came in four large pieces instead of the expected smaller cuts. The oyster omelet was also mediocre."

"Our waitress then neglected to check on our order. We were there for Dine LA, expecting our meal to be served in courses. Instead, the chicken wings (which were quite good), tofu skin, and vegetable spears all arrived at the same time. We also ordered a short rib skewer and three filet mignon skewers. Both were well-seasoned and tasty, although I preferred the short rib. A few minutes later, three of our entrees—Wagyu and asparagus—arrived while we had hardly started on our appetizers, and our table was a bit cramped for all the dishes. I wouldn’t recommend the Wagyu and asparagus as the presentation and taste were unimpressive; it was just small cubes of meat with asparagus. While I waited for the rice to arrive, I sampled some of the schnapps, which was lukewarm. After several minutes without the rice, we asked a server about it. We waited a bit longer, and still no rice, so I asked the busser for assistance and he finally brought it over. I had previously asked for chili paste, but the waitress had forgotten it, so I had to remind her again. We also didn’t receive the short ribs until 40-45 minutes after the first three entrees were served. I had asked two different staff members to check on them, and they both said they would be out soon. Ironically, other tables that were seated after us received their short ribs at the same time as I did. To be fair, the short ribs were impressive and presented beautifully, but overall, it wasn’t worth the $40 per person for Dine LA."

"Ate some spicy chicken, pork, and fried noodles. Food is ok, seems like home-style cooking than what I usually get from a restaurant though. Good for making you full if you're in the area, but I wouldn't make the drive back again just to eat it. I think the atmosphere of the restaurant could be enhanced with some quiet music instead of it being silent. Cleanliness could be improved maybe, there were ants."

"The only downside is the somewhat unfriendly staff. If you speak Cantonese, they’re welcoming and chatty; if you speak Mandarin, you might get a half-smile, and if you only speak English, well, you’ll likely get a rather indifferent response. It seems a bit much to expect them to greet their customers, doesn’t it? Kee Wah operates as a self-serve bakery. Just grab a tray and some tongs and fill it to the brim with all the delightful goodies. While most items are self-service, the hot treats like egg custards and meat buns are kept in an enclosed warmer and need to be retrieved by the staff. Kee Wah is part of a chain, and I believe there are a couple of other locations in the San Gabriel Valley. If you’re ever craving some delicious Chinese baked goods, it’s definitely worth making a detour to Kee Wah. So good!"

"Mr. Kuso Cafe truly embodies the spirit of Taiwan with an impressive selection of Taiwanese-inspired snacks. My personal favorites include: 1. Fried Pork Blood Rice Cake, which is a delightful dish featuring a crispy rice cake bursting with flavor. 2. Pork Cheek Meat in Garlic Sauce, where the tender meat is perfectly complemented by the rich, aromatic garlic sauce. 3. The Duck Blood Spicy Sticky Tofu Combo is an absolute must-try. The only drawback I found was the early closing time for dinner at 8:15 PM, which can be a bit early for those who enjoy a relaxed evening meal. However, the exceptional dining experience more than compensates for this minor issue."

"Small Taiwanese restaurant/tea shop located next to grocery outlet and Bhanu Indian restaurant. There are only about seven small tables available so this is not a great place for larger groups. They are known for their fresh teas and Taiwanese food. Service is friendly and pretty quick, and they Chinese/Taiwanese music playing in the background.Food/Drinks: Jasmine Green Tea: I stuck with a plain jasmine green tea with less ice and less sugar. I asked for the less bitter choice between the jasmine green tea and assam black tea, and the server told me the jasmine green tea is less bitter. But I still felt that it was bitter and wasn't a huge fan. I think next time I'll try the Assam black tea. Popcorn chicken: My favorite item we tried. They make it with fresh basil and I really enjoyed eating the crispy basil leaves that came with the chicken. We got spicy level and wasn't that spicy. Came in a good sized portion to share. Basil chicken with lo mein: they called this 3 cup chicken (3 杯雞 but it does not taste like that. If anything, it taste more like a chicken and ginger stirfry with lots of green onions and some basil. But I really enjoyed the lo mein, which is stirfried with a caramelized onion sauce. Slightly sweet and savory. The Railroad pork: the pork chop is made with a garlic and ginger marinade. It is soft soft with a layer of breading, and we got it served over rice. I wasn't a fan of this, despite everyone's raving review, the race was a bit dry, and the pork chop is just standard to me. Comes with corn and veggies. Bringing takeout is easy because they serve you the food in the to go boxes already, so they just give you a lid and you're out the door. I think next time I might try the pork Katsu, braised pork, or beef noodle stew."

"This restaurant is like a more affordable version of Din Tai Fung. They offer a variety of dishes similar to what DTF has. I first heard about this place on Mike Chan's YouTube channel, where he raved about their huge xiao long bao. My wife and I decided to try it out today (5/19/2022) and Mike Chan was right - the xiao long bao here is just as good as DTF. The skin of the xlb tasted exactly the same as DTF. They also serve potstickers and scallion pancakes, but the star of the show is definitely their huge xiao long bao. It's about 9 inches in size, filled with delicious fillings, and steamed to perfection in a bamboo steam. The recommended way to enjoy it is to drink the soup inside first with a boba straw and then enjoy the skin with the crab meat. It's absolutely delicious and a must-try at this restaurant. The only slight difference I noticed compared to DTF was the sweet and sour sauce. It's not as flavorful as DTF's, but still tasty. The vinegar was missing from the ribs, but the scallion pancakes were crispy and delicious. The regular xiao long bao was fantastic as well, with no noticeable difference from DTF. The prices here are very reasonable, with the xiao long bao costing about 30% less than DTF. The decor could use some updating, but the service was fast and attentive."

"This place is much smaller than the other locations that I have gone to. It is also one of the few locations that tries to upsell. The first person could not understand me. The second person had no problem understanding me. She also had no problem suggesting numerous other items for me to buy. I asked for their pomelo mango pudding, and I guess they renamed it to something else. I believe she called it a tropical pudding. I usually purchase their mixed fruit tapioca drink, but this time I bought something else that she suggested. It was a rolled mango dessert wrapped in white dessicated coconut. The fresh mango was not sweet and ripe. I should have purchased the mixed fruit tapioca drink."

"Okay guys, this place probably is five stars but I'm giving it four stars because I only had one drink, the Japanese brown rice tea which was pretty excellent. The reason why I'm giving it four stars for now is I always like to try one more drink and the four stars whose price considered. I think it's very expensive for a very small drink. Otherwise, the two quality was good, that atmosphere was pretty unique especially with the Chinese lanterns, and the service was fine, they're nothing special."
