Top Asian Restaurant in West Covina
Manila Sunset Restaurant - West Covina
2550 Amar Rd a13, West Covina, CA 91792, United States
I went to this restaurant before it was remodeled and I really liked it. Last Thursday, I had lunch there since the good, old memories brought me there. However, I was very disappointed!The egg roll was only 1/3 size of the normal size and it was lacking the vegetables inside and over fried; the beef soup was in a very small cup and all the vegetables on the top was about to fall off the cup; the famous Philipino pancit or fry noodle, was not the authentic or original : there were only 3 pieces of small shrimps on the top, not even a small piece of egg or squid or cooked vegetables. The amount of food was very small and the beef in the soup was very tough. I spent 15 $ for lunch but I left half hungry.I miss the previous, old memory and the food in this same location, but not now.
Sweety Hut Thai Restaurants
1215 S Glendora Ave, West Covina, CA 91790, United States
Parking:The restaurant is conveniently located inside a plaza with 24 parking spots available (2 parking spots are reserved for the liquor store. It has green paint on the curb that says 5 min parking and 1 wheelchair accessible blue parking). However, even if the parking lot is full, there is street parking available on S Glendora Ave right next to it.Service:Upon entering Sweety Hut Thai, we were warmly greeted by Ken, our server for the night. Ken provided exceptional customer service throughout our dining experience, making us feel welcomed and attending to our needs. His friendly service and attentiveness added to the overall positive dining experience.Atmosphere:The place is easily identifiable within the plaza, thanks to the big Thai Restaurant sign on the building. The interior was clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant ambiance for diners. The restaurant was semi-empty, which may have been due to the drizzly weather or the late hour.Food & Pricing:Sweety Hut Thai offers a wide selection of Thai dishes to choose from. We ordered the Pad Thai combo, which came with fried wonton, salad, fried rice, and a complimentary veggie soup (only for dine-in) priced at $12.45. The Tom Yum soup, customizable in spice level (Mild/Medium/Hot/Extra Hot), also priced at $11.95, was particularly delicious. Additionally, we enjoyed the Pad See Ew with chicken for $11.95. Its worth noting that a 15% service charge applies for groups of 6 or more. Overall, the food was above average and budget-friendly priced.Overall:Sweety Hut Thai is a solid choice if youre craving Thai food. The combination of excellent service (Ken is the man!), budget-friendly pricing, and tasty dishes make it a worthwhile dining experience. This places closes at 10pm so whether youre a late-night eater or looking for a place to satisfy your Thai food cravings, this restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere and a menu with plenty of options to choose from.Attached are pictures of the outside building and inside.

Elephant Bar Restaurant
200 S Vincent Ave, West Covina, CA 91790, United States
People are friendly and the service is great. the cook preparing...eh, not so much. three times ive gotten the pot roast which tastes ok, but the carrots are always raw. stick w/the baked potato because the mashed tastes funny. the rib eye is definitely not worth it. for the price, they could at least cook it right. I asked for medium, but got well done. it didnt resemble a rib eye at all. salt and pepper might have helped. dont let the grill marks fool you. sizzler is better, and i dont care for sizzlers. the sauteed spinach was fine and the salad was good.all together I dont think well return. the quality has gone down. it might be due to the manager who wasnt sitting far. I wrote the comment about the steak on the receipt and he did nothing at all. weve been to a wide range of restaurants, price wise...its rare that well complain, has to be pretty bad. most mgrs care about how their food is received. not this one. it wasnt busy AND weve given this branch a lot of chances. a shame because the servers are very good and the bar seems great too.
CHEERS CAFE
1414 S Azusa Ave B1, West Covina, CA 91791, United States
Late night spot in West Covina which is great if youre looking for Asian meat skewers such as lamb and beef. This place closes around 11:00 so its open late considering most places in West Covina close at around 9:00I ordered lamb skewers which were great and fried chicken skin skewers which I absolutely loved. No its not a Japanese restaurant they did have me so soup and it was one of the better ones Ive had.
Tian You Feng Dumpling House
1428 S Azusa Ave Ste A, West Covina, CA 91791, United States
I entered Tian You Feng Dumpling House at 5pm when they opened with my sister and service dog, Canelo. We attempted to sit down and a staff member by the name of Michael Wang approached me and asked for my service dogs license. I responded with although my dog is licensed it is against the Federal ADA laws to ask for his license. May I have the owners name please? Another associate came out to reinforced what Michael was saying and said she would Google it to make sure that what I was saying was true. While she was googling, Michael went outside to a white Tesla parked directly in front of the restaurant and came back saying that they could not allow access unless I produced Canelos license. After Michael returned I asked again, may I have the owners name please? He responded with Im the owner and we have the right to refuse service to anyone. I exclaimed no you may not on the basis of discrimination! Thats very illegal in any state. At this time the other employee returns after having googled the law saying that I may be seated as long as my dog is a service dog. At this point in the conversation I was extremely uncomfortable and did not feel my food handling would be within safety standards if I had chose to continue with my meal at this establishment so I left. After going to my car and looking up the business owners public information on the Secretary of States website I, to no surprise, found that Michael was not the owner. A Li Liu was the name on most documents along with Marvin Hsu. I then returned into the restaurant and asked Michael whose names are on the business license and why did you lie about being the owner? He responded that he was the manager and sorry for lying.I really hope this facility comes to the understanding of what equal access laws are and abides by them so that everyone feels comfortable dining here. I do not recommend this place to anyone who has a service dog.
Cozy Thai Cuisine
2550 Amar Rd Ste 7, West Covina, CA 91792, United States
Updates:Jul 2022:A dishonest restaurant! I wrote $17.37 on my receipt but found I was charged $18.34 on my credit card. The restaurants I went to never charge me more than what I wrote. This is the first one. How can you do business if you are so dishonest?2 years ago:I used to be a loyal customer but got very offended by the attitude of the lady (I guess she is the owner) who took my order tonight. Before I begin my story, I need to say I am giving 5 stars to the chefs and servers. Called at 7:25pm for a Tom Yum noodle. The lady who answered the phone responded with “that's it?” in an angry and discriminatory tone. During the 40-minute of wait, all the people who arrived later than I do already got their orders. One thing I found in common though, they all walked away with a big order. It was then that I realized my small order was being discriminated against and placed till the last to be served. It then makes whole sense why she responded with “that's it” earlier. Feeling is so bad! What's wrong with ordering only one dish? Since you do not seem up to it, I will not place any from now on.
Panda Express
811 Plaza Dr, West Covina, CA 91790, United States
My wife and I looked forward to eating at Panda. We used to eat at their branch at Hacienda Heights. But we were at the mall, so we went to the food court. First, their food servings were smaller than usual. Seconds, they don't allow drink refills. Lastly, they did not have paper napkins. When my wife asked for the paper towels instead that was available, the woman server cannot but gave my wife torn pieces that were useless and gravely insulting. When I complained, she now suggested that we ask for napkins from the other food outlets. She was passing her problem to the customer. Only when I started to raise my voice did Steven, probably the manager, approached me. He apologized, gave me what the woman cannot, and promised to “talk” to her. I don't know if he would, but l also promised to give the a bad review. I was surprised that I was not the first or only one to give the place a bad review. I am very disappointed at Panda.
70s Saga Ramen & Curry
204 S Glendora Ave, West Covina, CA 91790, United States
It was late night, I was dying for some Japanese curry and sushi.Found this place online and I ordered to go for this places katsu curry and also rainbow roll. Their sushi rice are actually just regular rice, not seasoned which is kind of disappointing for a sushi place since it diminishes the flavor.The fishes they used in the roll are not the freshest fish, or the better area of the fish, as the fish tasted a bit off. I can see why this place didnt really collect the best review.Their curry was not bad, however the rice portion seem like it was more than the curry and meat for the price.Would order to go again for curry as there isnt many places that make curry now. However wont ever come back here for sushi to go since their rice is so bland and unflavored.
WaBa Grill
2500 S Azusa Ave, West Covina, CA 91792, United States
*Waba Response does not help* the portion size isn't fair. i go to the waba in Walnut and they actually use the whole bowl for the food. this location has a strong grip on the food for some reason. in photo i moved the chicken to one side to pour sauce on rice and with other locations i can barely put the chicken to one side. with this one, well u can see. i keep making the mistake to go to this location for convenience. next time i'll drive the extra three miles to go to walnut location for better fair portions. At walnut i can barely see the rice underneath. Amar location is BAD*waba response* they still made it very difficult to leave contact info. they're lying to make themselves look ‘accountable' no option to leave contact and when i do, i get email saying that isn't the way to contact them HAHA
China Bowl Express & Young Hawaiian BBQ
1232 W Francisquito Ave, West Covina, CA 91790, United States
I came here looking to see if the negative reviews are true.1. The staff was friendly and helpful. Most of the time people feel like staff is being rude by cutting straight to the point and going quickly, but this is just for times sake. I didnt feel rushed and their Covid prevention measures were good.2. I can see how many people say the bbq pork feels dry. It feels a tad dry but not inedible, still better than other places Ive had.3. The noodles are way better than previous places Ive had, maybe its just me but I think this place knocked it out of the park here.4. Its not Panda ExpressOverall Id say is a pretty good place foodwise and price. Very close to excellent.
