Earthen Restaurant in Hacienda Heights

Used to know the previous owners well and loved their food growing up. I still wanted to try this place with the new owners because there are some dishes that are the same from before. The food wasn’t the same but the house special chicken seemed similar and the other foods were very good too. We just didn’t like the black sauce jajangmein, it’s definitely not Korean Chinese style like before but everything else was good. There are many Chinese restaurants in this plaza but only this place has many customers. Remember they are closed between 3-5 pm. We had dessert first at Meet Fresh waiting for them to reopen.

Ive been coming here for most of my (relatively speaking) short life and theyve almost always treated my family and me very well. The 蔥油餅 (scallion pancakes) are a must order i usually see it on at least 3/4 of all the tables everytime I come by, super crispy fluffy still cant replicate them myself. We always order fish dumplings and usually the house chicken or sliced beef (we used to order house chicken more cause my grandma loved it but the chicken has been becoming more and more boney/gibletty). The food is more similar to Taiwanese Chinese food. Staff is friendly (though I just let my family order i cant speak mando) and the place is fairly clean. Easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants.

Monday 12/4/23 Dinner at Earthern Restaurant in Hacienda Heights with my cousin. Good Chinese foods. One the the best jelly fish dish I’ve ever had; crunchy, sweet, salty, and flavorful paired with cucumbers. The shredded pork with bamboo shoots were savory with the crunch of the bamboo shoots paired it with perfectly.The restaurant has a nice and clean decor.David YoungRestaurant Enthusiast

Visiting another business around town and decided to try this restaurant. Excellent food, fresh ingredients, and excellent service. It was early in the afternoon, so we were the first ones in. It was amazing to hear our food being cooked on the wok amd the aroma reach our table. The green onion pancakes are delicious, better than other places around this area. Highly recommend.

Food is a bit on the salty side. The onion pancake and house chicken are good. I didnt care for the other food ordered. Pan fried dumplings were not too salty but the steamed ones were salty without flavor.

Decent Taiwanese food in Hacienda Heights area. I understand this is a go to Taiwanese restaurant for the locals.I too like their food. We ordered 3 dishes that included egg plant, pot stickers, and a mushu pork. The first twos were very tasty and flavorful, but the mushu pork was a bit bland with no taste. Normally this dish should have plenty of hoisin sauce but it seemed like they were very stingy on the sauce.Besides the above three dishes, the restaurant seems to offer many popular Taiwanese food. So if you have a craving for Taiwanese food, this is a place that should be able to satisfy you needs.The reason I gave this a three stars because the service is terrible. The two girls there were very rude. Our patronage was seen as an inconvenience for them. When we asked for the menu, they didn’t even acknowledge our existing, we were transparent to them. We felt ignored and humiliated. It took them a long time to produce our bill. I am not coming back for sure. We don’t need the abuse.

Decent restaurant to stop by for a casual meal. Would recommend their green onion pancake and soup noodles. Ever since they changed ownership a few years ago the food quality has been slowly degrading while prices have increased. The service is still good. They do have weekday lunch menus. I do like that their menu has a photo of each dish so you have an idea of what it looks like. Located in the 99 ranch market shopping center.

Okay so I’ve been coming here for 15 years and this place is THE BEST CHINESE FOOD YOU’LL FIND AROUND!! Seriously, mouth watering quality and it never disappoints. ALWAYS consistent flavor. NO wait times. GREAT for family/friend gatherings or by yourself. FRIENDLY STAFF. Highly recommend to anyone. Must-try dishes: bean curd with pork, green onion pancake.

The good is yummy good service. Everything is delicious should be back soon ordered 6 dish

Earthen has changed owners & from what I can tell, cooks. B4 Covid, Ive always ordered the Sliced Chicken in Sichuan sauce & steamed rice. I went back and the plate was a bit bland with lots of oil in the sauce. It was ok but overly oily. See pic.Note: Lunch specials are avail Mon - Fri.
