Top Asian Restaurant in La Verne
Siamese Restaurant
1544 Foothill Blvd #3434, La Verne, CA 91750, United States
Ive been coming here since I was a baby and this restaurant is the single reason for my obsession with Thai food. I judge all others by this standard. As Ive grown and my tastes have changed, Ive been able to try new dishes and Ive always enjoyed them. Obviously, in the 30 years Ive been eating their food, recipes and dishes have changed, but Ive never been disappointed, as I have with many other Thai places. This is what I consider home style cooking. Its a warm, inviting place with good people and good food. My personal favorites are the massaman chicken, rice noodle soup with chicken, and chili fish. Unfortunately, I dont see the massaman curry on their menu anymore. Its a shame because Ive never found another restaurant that could match their flavor. I hope they bring it back.As an edit, I see someone complained about high prices for tiny portions of average food. I find that insane. Their prices are comparable to other Thai restaurants, if not better (theres nothing I hate more than a pretentious Thai place). Also, Ive taken many people here who also have strong opinions on Thai food and they all loved it. Ive never seen someone Ive taken be unsatisfied with the taste, or the portion. Lastly, my family doesnt order individually, we order family style. We order one dish per person, and sometimes an appetizer or soup. It comes out to about $12 per person and we all leave completely stuffed, sometimes even have leftovers, and were all gluttons. When I go by myself, I can order 2 dishes to go, make my own rice, and have enough for a few meals. I usually portion it out at home and freeze it, then reheat and eat with a side salad. It all freezes and reheats really well.
Aoki Japanese Restaurant
2307 D St, La Verne, CA 91750, United States
The food at the place is generally ok, however the service and atmosphere are terrible. Today I went to the restaurant for the first time and when I went to order and said I didnt know some of the dishes there and had asked if there were portions with two units, the woman simply didnt explain, asked me to decide what to order and told me I turned around, and it said that there were no two-piece dishes, although the menu said that there were, even some of the ones I had asked about, that they were not missing. When I commented to a teacher what he thought of a certain place, he also complained that the place was pretty bad. The second time I ordered, this time for delivery, I just didnt order from another Asian restaurant, because the last one in La Verne, Wang, was about to close and wouldnt be open until the next day. The other Japanese restaurants that I found much more interesting, super close to here, didnt deliver because they were in another city

I have eaten here n taken out the food several times but unfortunately the service has gotten worse time after time.I just picked up 2 plates with 2 items each with even their additional fee menu items so here is the frustration I felt tonite.First the person who was serving the plates was acting like she was counting how many Chow Mein noodles or how many pieces of Angus beef or how many pieces of chicken and vegetables go into each plate. Being cheap shows through loud and clear. I remember hearing the person after me ask that if she could put more of the items in their plates because they didnt think that they were getting enough.Second by the time I got to the cash register the guy who was putting the items together said anything else youd like and I said no he tried to push me into buying drinks and I said no but I would like two egg rolls and hot sauce hot mustard Chopsticks and soy sauce. He kept repeating how much the food cost without even handing me over the bag. Once I saw the bag it was barely fitting the two styrofoam boxes in it, it did not have the egg rolls nor the soy sauce hot sauce or chopsticks. He asked me a second time for the money and I had to stop and said that I needed a bigger bag as I mentioned before because the items are not even fitting in well. One of the other employees heard me complain and said thats just give him a bigger bag.Once the items were put into the larger bag he said $22.02 and I said I heard you, I have the money in my hand, let me put all the stuff together first. Then we exchanged the money and I left. When I checked the contents of the bag in the car, I noticed that he has short-changed me the fortune cookies. He was so much in a hurry to collect the money that wasnt focusing on taking care of the customer and making sure to give the customer everything that he needs to put in the bag.The food is consistently good but the service has gone downhill a lot. The prices have gone up for the portions theyre serving. This is what would kill the restaurant business. If I dont feel that Im getting good value for when I pay for I dont care how good the food is if the service is horrible, I will not return.Hopefully perhaps management will see this review and do something about it or theyre going to lose customers left and right.
Flame Broiler
1548 Foothill Blvd, La Verne, CA 91750, United States
This place is horrible. Been there twice. First time i ordered veggie bowl w white meat but the guy was trying to charge me for extra meat instead of just for white meat. When i told him i didnt want extra meat he said well thats the only way i can charge for white meat. He said thats how the system works. Obviously he didnt know how to use the system. I had to order regular meat just so i wouldnt be charged for extra meat. Second time i went i ordered online due to the first time issue. When i arrived they said they didnt have any online orders. Then tells me he cant do broccoli and carrots only, because hes low on broccoli and would have to go into next days stock to use broccoli. When i finally got my food he says i cant stay there because he has to clean the store. I asked if he was closed, he said no but we have to clean so you cant eat here. I asked him if they do this everyday at this time, he said yes. I told him i was there the other day at the same time and no one got kicked out. His only response was well they are suppose to. This has been a bad experience for the 2 times Ive been there. Should have never gone back after the first time. Whoever owns this location should not own this place. Obviously they dont know how to manage or how to keep their staff properly trained. Surprised this place is still running with the reviews i have read. Should have reviewed this place before i went there.
WaBa Grill
2855 Foothill Blvd, La Verne, CA 91750, United States
The food was good today, there was a small piece of plastic mixed in with my chicken though. I have been getting curbside pick up at this location for years. I had to call three times before anyone answered the gentleman that answered told me I needed to come in to get my food, when I went in, I asked are you no longer doing curbside he said he was new and had only been working a month and no one has told him about curbside. The woman that was behind the counter chimed in rudely and said I've been working here a year and we have never done curbside. Well curbside is still available service option labeled on Google, so if there is new management, they need to change that or train their employees. Not only that while I was questioning them about curbside the new worker was asking me what my name was just to get me out of there. This is not the customer service that I'm used to at this location. Hopefully this issue will be fixed. Part of the reason why I like going to this location is because of curbside option.
Flying Rice

The Bowls were colorful, full of asst. vegetables, fried egg, tender cooked meat, brown or white rice and a choice of six different sauces. Choose your level of spice from wimpy American to Korean oh my God hot. We will definitely go back for more. This is a new restaurant serving Korean Asian food specializing in pork belly, bibibop and other delectable healthy Korean dishes. Lunch and dinner service. Walk up to the counter to order your food have a seat in the delightful waitress will bring it to you and tell you about the different sauces they have available to go with your tasty Bowl. You will not be disappointed.

Caf Wang Chinese Fusion & Bar
2316 D St, La Verne, CA 91750, United States
Not a great first impression. Ordered 2 dishes for take out: pork fried rice, Mapo tofu. Ended up throwing away one dish, and had to season the other for enjoyment.Ordered ahead via phone. 15 minute pick up time was good. Upon arrival, I waited about 10 minutes to be greeted as there were no staff members up front.The food...For the record, Mapo tofu is a favorite dish of mine, and my significant other. The Mapo Tofu here had a very thick, heavy chili oil which really washed out the flavors, and created am unenjoyable texture. Myself and my significant other couldnt eat it. Had to toss it. Got the impression the chili oils and tofu were not cooked together. Tofu was really blan, and the chili did not mix well.The fried rice was decent. The fried rice was either blan, or our pallets were disrupted from the Mapo Tofu. I had to add salt to enjoy the fried rice.Honestly, I would give a 1 star, but I havent tried all their dishes. To be frank, I dont know if I would want to return. Maybe one day, after some time has passed.
Bowl House
2075 3rd St, La Verne, CA 91750, United States
Recently this place has become my hidden gem. I am absolutely obsessed with this little restaurant nestled in downtown La Verne. The food is absolutely fantastic, and the owners are criminally under charging for their generous portions and delicious food. However, I think im most impressed about how much the owners care for their customers. My sister and I went to get coffee from nambah, and we came back to wait for our food. The owner saw that we had our drinks and without even asking, included coffee biscuits/cookies in our bag to enjoy with our beverages. My sister and I were absolutely baffled at the generosity because this is the type of treatment you'd see in places abroad. But we felt totally welcomed, cared after, and most importantly viewed as people rather than customers. I have been going here once or twice a week for the past 2 months and they haven't failed me once.
