Best KPortal Reviews
When we parked, we had trouble identifying the restaurant. From the parking lot, the only sign we saw said “海皇粥粉麵” and we were able to verify it was the right place by looking at old photos from other reviews on Google Maps.
Shrimp Won Ton Noodles in Soup ($12.90): The shrimp wontons are indeed as big as other reviewers said. The soup came with four giant wontons packed with shrimp. The soup was delicious as were the wontons with no off flavors that I've had before at other places serving similar style wontons. The gailan/jielan (Chinese broccoli) in the soup was super tender and worked really well with the dish.
Beef Stew Noodles in Soup ($12.90): The beef and tendon in this noodle soup were cooked to ultimate tenderness without the beef becoming stringy. Great flavor and excellent texture.
Fish Tofu with Special Sauce ($10.25): This tasted like and had the texture of a light fried fish ball. Interesting to try, but probably just the once for us. It was paired with a spicy topping that worked well with the fish tofu.
Special Pan Fried Rolls ($9.95): These are rice rolls are similar to steamed rice rolls but rolled tightly into cylinders and then pan fried and tossed in a sauce. It's like he fun / chow fun but many layers and rolled up. These were good, but we wished we spent $2 extra to get the Beef Stew Pan Fried Rolls.
Oyster Sauce with Vegetables ($7.25): This was tender gailan (Chinese broccoli) cut into thirds and topped with oyster sauce. They were tender and cooked just enough.
The bathroom situation was not ideal. The bathroom itself was locked (by accident). After they unlocked it, they cautioned not to use the lock on the door or the bathroom might end up locked again. There is a latch on the inside of the door to keep it from being opened when occupied. The bathroom is used for some cleaning storage and there were paper towels overflowing the wastebasket and no soap in the soap dispenser. After I informed them of the soap problem, they remedied it by putting a bottle of hand sanitizer in the bathroom.
I love congees. When I saw The Congee show up on my search results when I was in Alhambra. I want to try them. I was there before lunchtime. So I got a table right away. The restaurant is not very big. The service was okay. I like the food. The fish balls are very fresh, and the congee is very yummy! I know I'll be back!
Quick, simple food. Big wontons that were very satisfying to eat. Would recommend. Salt pepper chicken was fried fresh. It was pretty good too.
This is the restaurant we always visit when we come to LA. We ordered a Wonton noodle soup again this time, the Wontons still taste good ; however the soup base is tasteless. We felt very disappointed, and we will never go back again!
I drive for 1:30 m to get food for my employees and
I order pork congee add pork River also egg the server say I can't add too many I said but am willing to pay and she yelled in my bestie's face I know she try to explain but the manner and hospitality are in very rude and I also told her I need her to wrap my food with produce bag and make sure is secure because I have been having a bad experience before.
Here is my breakdown
Food is excellent fresh and super hot ( temperature )
Ambiance is normal
Service need to be improve
Compared to last visit, quality of food has gone downhill tremendously! The broth of both Wonton noodles & Stewed beef brisket noodles tasted very blend/ no taste. In addition, they used chuck steak instead of beef brisket possibly it was cheaper meat and more profit at their end. Although the wonton still maintain good quality, it was a very disappointed meals. My family & I will not return to this restaurant again!
HUGE Fish Balls and Shrimp Won Tons, did i say HUGE? yes HUGE. if you like big portions of noodles and food this the place for you. i did a youtubereviewvideo on my channel. Very Chinese place and that is a good thing.
The wonton wasn't bad at all but the congee with the black eggs is the best
