"Next time, I’m bringing someone special here." 🥢🍚✨

Hi everyone~ A true top-tier Chinese restaurant in LA — the kind where you walk in and instantly feel a sense of calm. It’s refined, elegant, and full of subtle charm — like poetry in motion. Very Eastern, very restrained, very sophisticated… yet with the fiery soul of Sichuan. The staff are sincere, the vibe is on point, and it’s perfect for gatherings, celebrations, birthdays, or simply treating yourself to a truly tasteful Sichuan meal. 🥢 🍚 Mountain House Rowland Heights 📍 18888 Labin Ct C101, Rowland Heights, CA 91748 🥢 Starting strong: "Three Sages of the Bamboo Grove" Three exquisite appetizers — perfect for the indecisive. Spicy Duck Tongue in Chili Oil — no gaminess, fully marinated, satisfying bite. Chili Bamboo Shoots — crisp, fresh, smooth chili aroma. Saliva Chicken — tender, chilled, wonderfully appetizing. As cold dishes, they perfectly balance refinement and flavor. 🔥 Blood Tofu with Pork Brain The brain is incredibly tender, the duck blood and tofu silky smooth — melting in your mouth. Spicy but not overpowering — the heat beautifully masks any richness. So fragrant you keep eating even while breathing fire! Perfect with rice 🍚 🍅 Pickled Pepper Bullfrog Surprisingly bright with a tangy tomato undertone — not your usual pickle-heavy flavor. The frog meat is fresh, tender, and bouncy — no off-taste at all. Spicy, savory, with crunchy bamboo shoots — an absolute must-order! 🐰 Braised Rabbit with Chili Flavor-packed! The rabbit is even more delicate than chicken, with a slight chew. Medium-high spice level, served with slippery konjac and delicious pickled mustard greens. 🐄 Signature Beef Fried Rice Dry, aromatic, well-seasoned — a reliable and satisfying staple. ❄️ Tipsy Ice Jelly Dessert A must-have after Sichuan food — plated like a delicate(bonsai) — beautiful but not overdone. Chilled, lightly sweet, the perfect refreshing finish. The ambiance here is just too elegant — Sichuan cuisine done masterfully without the noise. Soft lighting, gentle atmosphere, even the servers move quietly. We celebrated a friend’s birthday here 🎂 — livelier than Haidilao but with far more cultural charm. Leaves a strong impression: "They know how to pick a restaurant." Overall, this place delivers not just in taste — it elevates the entire dining experience. Leaving, I thought: "Next time, I’m bringing someone special here." #MountainHouseLA #SichuanCuisine #RefinedDining #RowlandHeightsEats #LAChineseFood
