We’ve eaten here many times over the years, and yesterday we came to celebrated a friend’s birthday with a feast, while some dishes were decent, some were okay and some weren’t good at all. The good: the Peking duck was sliced at our table side in very thin slices and tasted better than most here in SoCal, the black fungi (木耳） was one of the best in the area. The okay: beef ribs were good, tender and flavorful, cold fen (凉粉） and liver slices (夫妻肺片） were fine as well.The not-so-good: our highlight was supposed to be the king crab that came in at over $750. It was fresh, but lacked any discernible flavor, which was a real disappointment. The bamboo shoots had excellent texture, but again it lacked any flavor. There were a few other dishes that were kind of forgettable. The service was excellent as always here, so no complaints there. The corkage fee was a reasonable $20 per bottle for wines.

One of the best Chinese first date dinner restaurant in town, came here for a date the service was on point and the atmosphere of the restaurant is luxury. The food is great taste and their Peking duck is the best out of all I have tasted. Loved every single piece and wrap. Their lobster noodle is incredible deal. Had a great time here!

Are there a bunch of other cheaper alternatives around the area? Why bother with this ridiculously long line? Well, if you wanna' take your date in a dimly-lit spot to impress her, THIS IS IT! The food isn't bad. Would I like bigger portions? Sure, but that's not the point of coming here. Service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. They didn't speak too fast, and were very patient with us. The food is great! They're famous for the 小籠包 (Xiao Long Bao), so try those, but generally you can't go wrong. Really loved the Mango Snow dessert. Get it before they take that off their menu!

Where to start! We happened to get there at the right time to meet the very humble owner and his son, what nice and genuine people. We made reservations so we were seated pretty quickly. We had the cucumbers, green beans, bao buns, won tons (the pork version and the shrimp version), the chicken and noodles, the pork fried rice, the pork ribs, and the pepper steak. Every one of these delicious dishes was brought to the table by extremely courteous staff. The produce at the restaurant was fresh and crisp, the meats were savory and perfectly prepared. The ribs were savory, sweet and oh so tender. I think I dreamt of the garlic green beans. This was the best Asian cuisine I have had that I can remember. We followed up dinner with their amazing mango desert as well as the chocolate buns. Loved it! Thank you Din Tai Fung for an amazing experience.

Our weekend favorite choice is the Prime Rib Special. French style filet mignon is another favorite. Garden is really an amazing place. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner and there are endless choices of dishes to try. Be prepared to be hooked. Generally busy during meal time on weekends. Best is to go early or late. Order takeout is another choice.

A long time favorite of my parents and now me. No menu here sucks, all of them delicious in their own ways. The fried rice was wonderful and has that wok flavor and smoky taste. The chow fun was also very delicious, both being carbs not having an overwhelmingly salty or sweet flavor, making it wonderful as a side for the other menus. I admit the service here was completely chinese with the ignorant waiters who won’t give effort in the nicest service, but they are quick and they get the job done, filling our glasses quick and taking our order quickly. They were quite busy when we came in and when we called in before they picked up the phone and left it somewhere for us to listen to the atmosphere. The place feels nice always and although the floors may not be clean, our tables and our wares were clean. The prices are not overcharging for such a great meal. They also open at days where most places would close (christmas etc).

If you're a fan of authentic dumpling houses and bold flavors, this spot is a must-visit! 👍😋💯 It’s a small, unassuming hole-in-the-wall, but don’t let the size fool you the food is phenomenal. 🍜🤤👏 We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one delivered big on taste. 🥟🥢😋 I had the spicy fried rice (pro tip: it comes with chicken, even though it doesn’t say so on the menu). 🔥🌶️🍚 The flavor from the hot chili oil and black salted beans was out of this world. 🌎🌟✨ We also enjoyed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which were perfectly done. 💯😋👍 What really surprised me was the sautéed cabbage with Thai chili peppers so simple, yet packed with incredible flavor. 🥬🌶️🔥 The beef soup was hearty, and the spicy chicken dish with Sichuan and chili peppers brought the heat in all the right ways. 🍲🐔🌶️ Customer service was great, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. 💯😊👍 I will definitely be back. 🥳😋👏

We had lunch/brunch on Saturday. Arrived there around noon, and we were pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t crowded. We ordered four items on the menu. The dishes started to arrive, and we were happy that the portions were big. There were only two of us, and we tried to finish but couldn’t. Each dish was flavorful, and we loved it! I would definitely come back to try other dishes. There is a large parking area in the back of the restaurant.

Five stars for the amazing time I had with my Ad Gals. The service was great, quicker and friendlier than most places nearby ⭐️ My favorite dishes were the jellyfish and the eel 🤤 the marinade raw crab and the lightly fried fish filet are also good. Not sure what the sign at front is about but better safe than sorry 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🫶photos for your reference below.

Five of us dined together and ordered a total of ten dishes—three appetizers and seven mains. The dishes were all quite authentic, showcasing solid technique and balanced flavors. Appetizers included pickled radish, jellyfish with vinegar, and drunken chicken. The jellyfish stood out with its refreshing crunch and well-balanced acidity. The drunken chicken had a nicely layered wine marinade—aromatic but not overpowering. On to the main courses: cauliflower with smoked bacon in casserole, stir-fried fresh abalone with ginger and scallion, meatball stuffed with salted egg yolk, vermicelli in casserole, and glutinous shao mai, among others. The vermicelli casserole had excellent wok hei (wok fragrance), giving it that deep, smoky flavor we love. The meatball with salted egg yolk was rich and savory, and the abalone was tender with clean, bright seasoning. Every dish was well-prepared, and the overall meal felt comforting.

Came here with my friend tonight for dinner. I got the spicy beef broth and it was delicious. You grab what you want in your hotpot and weigh it. The variety of ingredients were plentiful and fresh. It’s $13.99/lb. This was perfect since you can customize each hotpot bowl how you desire. Also, the sauce bar was perfect.

We were out of our element, having never been to a hot pot before. But thanks to the manager, Andy, we had an amazing experience with outstanding customer service and the best soup noodles we’ve ever had—it was worth every cent! We were able to pick and choose our own proteins, noodles, and sauces. They would then weigh everything and calculate the price accordingly. It was the most delicious soup and noodles I’ve ever had—better than most ramen places! Huge thanks to Manager Andy for the excellent service. If you visit, you won’t be disappointed. You’ll always be greeted with a warm and friendly welcome.

I've been looking for a place to get close to the personal hot pot place I tried in Taipei a couple of years ago and this is it! We both got the mala dry pot (no soup) and the flavor was fantastic. There were a good number of szechuan peppercorn making it nice and numbing. The selection of meats, vegetables, noodles, etc. was much larger than the usual place we go. And the sauce bar had way more options too! Go in, put your name on the wait-list and wait for them to give you a table. Then you can go up and grab your food and get it weighed. They'll bring it to you by matching the number on a keychain thing. Pay at the end.

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with this place—I’ve gone at least four times now, and I still love it! It’s like Yogurtland but for hot pot, and I love that I can customize my bowl with all my favorite ingredients. I always go for the tom yum soup—it’s my go-to. A couple of pro tips: take less than you think you’ll eat—the bowl makes it seem like you’re getting less than you actually are. And definitely bring home the leftover broth so you can enjoy another round of hot pot later. I already can’t wait to go back!

I stumbled upon a newly opened hot pot restaurant. Previously, I had enjoyed dim sum at this location, but as I passed by, I was surprised to see it had transformed into an all-you-can-eat hot pot place. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try. Being a weekday, I figured I wouldn't overindulge with the all-you-can-eat option. While other set menus were pricier, they offered more variety. As a hot pot enthusiast who prefers lamb slices, I opted for the most affordable set menu at $29 per person. The menu boasted six soup bases, including a delicious fish maw chicken option. Unlimited drinks complemented the freely available beef and lamb slices, along with an assortment of vegetables for the hot pot. Their seafood impressed me—fresh large shrimp, fish slices, and shrimp paste offered excellent value. The spacious restaurant, though potentially empty-feeling during slow hours, featured comfortable seating and pristine tablecloths. A dizzying array of condiments awaited at the sauce station. Snacks, desserts, and sago pudding were also on offer, with desserts substantial enough to serve as main courses. The waiter's enthusiasm and friendliness contributed to an overall pleasant dining experience

I had mala hotpot today and it was really good. I ordered the least spicy broth and it was just right for me. This is a very authentic hotpot restaurant in Los Angeles! I chose the $29 dinner and I had beef, pork, lamb, seafood and all kinds of veggies. The food quality is good and all the servers were very attentive. Aside from the ingredients that you can cook in your soup, there are various side dishes, desserts, fruits, and condiments to choose from. It was a very enjoyable dining experience. Will definitely come back again soon!

Authentic Hong Kong cuisine that tastes more like mama's home cooking than restaurant food. All the pan fried and deep fried dishes are decent, but BBQ item is just soso and not very fresh (at 8pm). We order the following today: - HaGao = 👍🏻 Great - Deep fried fish fillet = Very tender and juicy, tastes great being served with tartar sauce. It's like the best fish & chips without the chips. - Jellyfish = The quality of jellyfish is rather disappointing, although the seasoning is good. - Roast pork = Cold, very dry, overcooked, but it's still seasoned well. - Stir fry broccoli with garlic = Tastes like homemade without too much grease or MSG. Everything tastes ok overall. Service is great, and they make us feel right at home. Even our hyper toddler is treated well with free mango puddings. Will recommend.

Delicious food with deflation pricing. Select lunch and dinner specials at $10.99 and $12.99 each Mon thru Fri. One of my favorites is the lobster noodle for $29.99. The lemon grass pork chop is another favorite at $10.99. They also serve dim sum daily until afternoon (3pm, I think). Call to check for dim sum hours. Chinese bbq such as roasted pork, Peking duck, and soy sauce chicken are available at the bbq section by the entrance. There are plenty of seatings inside and parking outside the plaza parking lot. Service is courteous and friendly. Will try other lunch and dinner specials on my next visit.

Food is fresh, still have a lot of MSG and not as good as Vancouver BC. In general it's better than most other cantonese establishments in LA Metropolitan .

Dim sum off a check list. Get the sampler, decent deal. Also the cheong fun with shrimp is really excellent. Fresh, steamy and chewy. Prices are par for the course but the portion for the steam rice rolls I thought was generous and the sampler platter was also good

"A Nostalgic Return to Arcadia's Chinese Fast-Casual Gem" Phoenix Food Boutique has long been the go-to spot for quick, quality Chinese cuisine in Arcadia. Returning after years away, I was eager to see if this childhood favorite still lived up to my memories. "Fast food Chinese with a gourmet twist" perfectly captures the essence of Phoenix Food Boutique. It's not your average takeout joint - the menu boasts an impressive array of small bites, classic dishes, and amazing desserts that elevate it above typical fast-casual fare. Signature dishes like the Hainan chicken have stood the test of time, consistently delivering flavor and comfort. The lettuce cups, a longtime favorite, didn't disappoint with their tasty filling, though they could benefit from a more interesting sauce than plain hoisin. The steamed fish with green onions showcases the kitchen's ability to handle delicate proteins, even if the overly sweet soy sauce missed the mark for my palate. However, the true star of the meal was the pig ear appetizer with tendons - a textural delight with the perfect balance of spice, crunch from peanuts, and freshness from green onions. The atmosphere on a quiet Monday lunch provided a peaceful backdrop for a father-son catch-up. Service was attentive, quickly resolving any oversights like forgotten sauces. Value-wise, prices have increased over the years, but generous portions and quality ingredients justify the cost. It remains a more affordable option compared to other local eateries. One area for improvement is their beverage selection. While diverse, many options like the lemongrass ginger tea are too sugar-heavy. Health-conscious diners might struggle to find a balanced choice, as even the 21 herbs tea swings to the opposite extreme of bitterness. "It's comforting to see this place still exists and maintains its quality," my dad remarked, echoing the sentiments of many loyal customers who've watched Phoenix Food Boutique evolve over the years. For those seeking a quick Chinese food fix in Arcadia, Phoenix Food Boutique offers a reliable blend of nostalgia and culinary craftsmanship. Just be prepared to navigate the menu carefully if you're watching your sugar intake. For a satisfying meal that bridges the gap between fast food and gourmet Chinese cuisine, this local institution is well worth a visit.

I usually come here for the dessert goods and drinks. They sell lunch/dinner items and always see people eating here. I love the mixed fruit drink! My kids love their cookies and egg custards. The service is always fast

Thank you Manuel for your excellent service and patience. You are very kind and I hope Panda Express appreciates good workers. 2/20/25 Delicious Family Meal along with lunar coupon.

I paid $18 for a ( 3 ) item combo and a large drink. Pricing Complaint: The way it is priced, you pay a large uprfront for a 2 sides and 1 item combo, then for 1.50 or so more you can get 2 item, then for another 1.50 or so, u can get 3 item, the same for the drink. IMO it is very manipulative pricing where anyone with basic math skills knows it is better to opt for the 3 item combo, the same for the drink. So u leave paying $18. I would highly recommend just going to a mom and pops Chinese fast food place in your city for more reasonable pricing. Out of general principal, I would just go buy food from the other vendors in the mall food court going forward. Atmosphere/ Towards closing all you hear is the mall janitors dragging metal chairs. They need felt pads under the chairs and tables. No fault of Panda Express. Ice / Toward the end of the night, my large drink that I paid movie theatre prices for had little to no ice. I ask for more ice in a cup. The cup gave me 4 tablespoons of ice. LMFAO. haha. Something is strange about this Panda Express. It feels like you are getting the short end of the stick in everyway possible. Refills/ Not only are you paying movie theatre prices for the large drink, they charge 1.50 for refills. Talk about nickel and diming you to death. This practice is an embarrassment. My food got cold/ They were out of chow mein. So I had to wait 5-7 minutes for it. Meanwhile they put my food in a bag on the counter while it got cold. Conclusion/ This place is an embarassment imo. Everything from the pricing, to the no refill policy, to them giving you little ice in your movie theatre priced drink, to my food getting cold. Do yourself a favor, if you feel like getting Chinese food, speak with your wallet. Go to a mom and pops Chinese food place in your city. Also, if you are eating in the mall, choose a different place to eat and support them, especially if they give free refills with a pricing structure that doesn't pressure the customer to upgrade.
