Its located inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace. Theres actually a large Japanese food court in the back of the grocery store. Very authentic Japanese food vendors. This place specializes in dim sum, bao buns, and some Chinese food. The shu-mai pork dim sum is good and made from scratch when you order it. The Xiao Long Bao are average, not enough broth inside. The BBQ pork Bao Buns are good. Excellent Orange chicken, ask for extra garlic. The Chow Mein is ok but somewhat flavorless. It needs a hit of soy sauce, and the chicken is a bit dry. You can choose the thin or thick egg noodle for the Chow Mein. I prefer the thin noodle. Egg drop soup is nice. Minus a star because cash only.

Good food for its price, cash only. However, there’s this guy that takes your orders has bad attitude and acts super annoyed for no reason. I was attracted by their cheap drinks and simply asked which drinks was for that price, ordered the drink and he just kept yelling at me “what size, what size.” Dudes gotta chill. Made an usually pleasant experience there uncomfortable.

Worst Dim Sum Ive ever had.Meat is not fresh,flavor is awful and there is NO SAUCE. Hainan chicken flavor is ok but again Bad meat and not fresh.Plus,the guy at the counter would yell at you if he doesnt understand what you are saying.

Very mediocre quality food for high prices. Bbq Pork buns were mostly bun and almost no meat very long wait times with almost no customers. The surrounding restaurants have far better offerings.

Been going here for years, recent year has gone downhill. Uneven food quality. E.g. Today, the white rice was too hard, like a hard gummy bear. Sometimes the fish used tastes fine, sometimes gross. Just yesterday, got roast duck (tough, dry - old), wonton (tough wrapper, pork inside barely edible), bean curd (same as usual, decent), bbq bun (not the freshest, filling not great). Years ago, they had delicious lobster tail and everything was delicious and always good. This past year, hit and miss. Some days its all good, some days its throw away before you finish.

Rated this place before with more stars but these last few visits been a waste of time. they keep closing the kitchen sooner even though it says last order is 7. this time I arrived a bit before 6:45 and the guy says its too late. so I dont know when the last order is, it depends how they feel I guess.

The chow fun I had was very sweet and did not have bean sprouts that Im used to having in chow fun everywhere else. The people that worked there looked a bit miserable and did not smile, but the guy at the register accepted my cash payment with two hands (a very humbled gesture).

Food great. You go to the window, so no real service. Order came up in a timely fashion. Atmosphere is a food court that is clean

Surprisingly good Hainan chicken at a Japanese food court.Dim sum isnt bad either, but its definitely short of the better (or even some of the average) places in San Gabriel Valley. Honestly the hainan chicken isnt going to threaten the upper tier of places... but as said, it was a pleasant surprise!
