This restaurant is a must-visit for clay pot rice lovers. The rice arrives sizzling with a golden, crispy bottom and perfectly infused flavors. Their Chinese sausage and marinated pork combo is outstanding. The wait is worth it, as each pot is cooked to order. Pair your meal with their stir-fried veggies and homemade chili sauce for a complete experience. With its cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and attentive service, this spot delivers comfort food at its best.

Left work late tonight and New Elite is just 3 minutes west on Valley Blvd of my office. I was originally going to come try this restaurant yesterday night for Mid-Autumn Festival dinner but found out they are closed on Tuesday. We arrived at 7:30 and took a look at the menu and this is a Cantonese restaurant that serves dishes more specifically to my family’s region the Toisan (臺山) / Hoiping (開平) area of Guangdong. It was quite cool and chilly tonight and after looking at the menu, we decided on a soup and a claypot rice. Under the specialties we decided on the Tai Shan Style Salty Rice Ball (台山鹹湯圓) and the Quail & Preserved Meat Clay Pot Rice (鹌鹑腊味煲仔饭) to share. When the waitress came to take our order she asked us about a vegetable dish and recommended the Sautéed Preservee Chinese Pork Belly w/ Garlic Sprouts (腊味炒蒜苔). We were started off with some complimentary hot tea that was very fragrant and strong. First dish that came out was the Tai Shan Salty Rice Ball and it was a huge bowl for $13.90 and loaded with daikon strips, napa, salted chicken (steamed chicken that’s cured by being patted down in salt) , Chinese sausage, shiitake mushrooms, ginger, dried shrimp, green onions, cilantro and soft pillowy rice balls which are little dumplings made from the perfect mixture of glutinous rice flour and water. The broth was so warm & comforting to the stomach and soul yet flavorful with all the ingredients. The second dish that came was the claypot. We took off all the preserved meats and quail and vegetables to a separate plate poured on their special soy sauce and mixed. The rice was perfectly cooked and as always the crispy rice at the bottom was the best, it turns out the quail was preserved too. Lastly was the recommended garlic sprouts and it was the first time we ever had it and it was sautéed with some long beans and preserved Chinese pork belly (臘肉) and the garlic sprouts and long beans vibrantly green and sautéed with so much “wok hay” we could hear it from the kitchen. The garlic sprouts were crunchy and naturally sweet complimented with the long beans and thinly sliced preserved pork belly, a wonderful vegetable dish. Really appreciative of the recommendation. As we were packing our leftovers to go, we were given complimentary dessert which is 砵仔糕, a steamed dessert made from rice flour, starch and either white or brown sugar and molded into little cups and it gets the best Asian compliment that it’s “not too sweet”. It was my first time trying it but nostalgic for my mom who had it growing up in Hong Kong. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their soups, specialities, signature dishes, and even their lunch specials that’s served everyday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

This store has very good service and the food is delicious! Looking forward to coming again next time!

You think about getting ramen, but you want something healthier? Try rice noodles. LuDingJi will open your world to rice noodle soup. Parking is usually plenty, just go to their underground lot. The restaurant is relatively clean. Food is served pretty instantly, so that's great news for hangry (hungry and angry 🤣) customers. Servers are polite and friendly too. The only complaint I have is the lighting in this restaurant is kind of dark. To order, it's 3-step to get your bowl of rice noodle goodness: 1. Choose your soup base 2. Choose your entree 3. Choose your carbs, but really just get rice noodles! 👌 4. -- Side note: please get some add-ons as the dish doesn't come with many things. -- Food we ordered: - Tomato soup (8/10): For those who can't eat spice, this is Really REALLY GOOD! It's not too salty, the rice noodle textures were mildly chewy and tasty. I added fatty beef and some vegetables. Overall, the portion given is plenty. - Chili Pumpkin (10/10): A little spice, but this is probably my favorite hands down! The spice has a mild sweet-sour flavor to it. I really enjoyed this. - Shou Zhua Bing (6.5/10): This is basically roti canai with meat. I actually liked the dish. I gave it a low rating because I felt like the meat was cold but I thoroughly enjoyed the roti canai! Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants to try a ramen alternative. ✨🤤

Asian comfort food! Loved the verities and also enjoyed that they offered unlimited sweet potato porridge for dine in customers. Friendly service! Side note: Lunch is a better deal ($16.95+ tax for 3 items combo, $21.95 for 4 items as of Jan, 2025), considering they offer the same food all day

the portion was really underwhelming—barely enough to be filling. For nearly the same price, you can get a freshly made, full plate of food at a proper restaurant. This felt more like a snack than a meal. Not great value for the money. This plate, 2 tofu, more than 10 dollars

Some of the noodle dishes were OK, but the 蝦餃(Haa Gow) were pretty much purchased from the frozen section of the Shun Fat grocery store in the same complex, and heated up. Otherwise, it's OK. I think I need to give this place another shot to give them some more chances. Last time I ordered my to-go order around lunch time, they had like a 10-minute delay for some reason, and another guy was waiting for his food too.

It’s our first time here. The server was very friendly and recommended beef and tendon noodles. Very nice clear soup with freshly hand cut noodles.

If you’re not wanting to deal with the long lines at sit down dimsum places and don’t care for the occasional rush hour lines, this is your spot for TO-GO dimsum. Well it’s mine :) Some of the staff is friendly and some can be just very matter of fact. So don’t take it personal. You can pay via cash or credit card. You order at the start of the line and make your way from the pan fried stuff to the steamed stuff to finally the baked stuff. Most of the items have 3-4 items in one order. Prices are decent from all under $6, but everything has gone up in price this year. The food is OK, not gonna lie. It’s average and edible but not like amazing. But if you’re hungry and you want more, it’s good pretty good variety of basic stuff. They also have roasted pork and BBQ right next door in case you wanna take some to go. If you are hungry and want to eat there, they have plenty of tables that not very many people sit at right in front of the cafe, next to the supermarket. They do close on Wednesdays. There’s also plenty of parking in the shared lot.

The cashier is very bad service. They changed me wrong. Add a duck on my bill but I don't order and receive it. When I ask for why, the cashier who keep yelling at me in public and kept saying I took the duck. I am looking for a problem solution not the yelling without doing any checking. Very bad service and don't understand how this person can survive in her workplace and service to customer directly

Cheap, authentic Chinese food. The tables are often dirty, I suggest getting take out. The chicken here is amazing.

Literally got ignored. Was waiting Had people cut me and the lady literally saw me walk in first and then starts serving them up and ringing them up. Had to walk out this place. If ya don’t speak mandarin or canto you’re gonna have trouble here. the food looks horrible but it is cheap.

I have purchased from this restaurant for two years year. However, my recent experience was terrible and unbelievable. I bought some chicken feet on Saturday afternoon and put them in refrigerator. On Sunday night, I found MOLD!!!

I always stop by this place to get snacks when I'm in town. This is a great stop if you can eat really spicy snacks that pair well with a beer!

Fast and convenient, cheapest restaurant in that area, too greasy for most of food. Can be four stars if greasy improved.

I come here almost every day now love this place

This restaurant have the best roasted Duck very tasty crispy noodle was awesome seafood porridge was so yummy highly recommended 🥰🥰♥️we’re be back again.

The food was average. Their barbeque meats weren't as good as other Sam Woo (i think). Ordered porridge and walnut mayonnaise shrimp; the walnuts were soggy.

This is the first time we try panda express. it's not our meal which is abnormal sweet not real Chinese food. Service is good. people are nice :)

I ordered a 3 entree plate. Half rice and half chow mein, kung pao chicken, walnut shrimp and beef broccoli. Portions are a lot smaller. Chicken was uncooked. Had to wait, for them to process all their online orders first. The girl working in the front was super loud. I don’t recommend this Panda Location. Better off driving a little further.

For Chinese fast food, it was what I expected with a nod for the hot and sour soup, which is the only fresh made item I ordered. I did expect more based on some reviews and really wanted to try the spicy fried chicken and bbq pork. They were out of the bbq pork, but had the fried chicken, so went ahead with my order anyway. Also tried the pork ribs with black bean sauce and orange chicken. All three items were ok to good for steam table food, just not great. The fried rice and chow mein also tasted like it’s been there a while. The nice lady suggested I come before lunch for the bbq pork, which I’ll have to try. I’m guessing the other items will taste fresher too and will update my review.

I’ve gone for the last 12 years the food was always great but it got my whole family sick this time. Disappointed, I won’t be going back again. This is awful!

Wow....I haven't seen my sister for a month, and I made an appointment the first day. I ate a round of delicious food. My good friend came to change tables and ate another round. The business of this business is really booming. Make an appointment in advance to reserve a seat, there is no seat for Walking in. Good non-greasy dry mouth.

Best place in town for Northeastern Chinese bbq. The raw beef kebab is the bomb! I love everything we ordered.
