Authentic Northwest Chinese Cuisine is Back in Rowland Heights! ๐๐ฅ
The beloved Northwest Chinese snack spot Aipapa has reopened in a bigger, brighter space next to Ranch 99 in Rowland Heights! They even have live performances in the evenings ๐ค. Every friend I know whoโs tried Aipapa absolutely raves about it โ and yes, it gets packed during peak hours! Weekend nights often have lines, but you can skip the wait by ordering via Panda Express ๐ผ with a sweet 50% off discount! ๐ Aipapa Frozen Yogurt Their house-fermented yogurt is a must-try โ mixed with sweet fermented barley and frozen till slightly icy โ๏ธ. Itโs tangy, slightly sweet, with a hint of rice wine flavor. Iโd drive to Rowland Heights just for this! They also serve San Pao Tai (a classic Chinese tea) and Sweet Barley Milk Tea โ both delicious! ๐ Spicy Lamb Burger Packed with grilled cumin-spiced lamb โ so much meat itโs almost bursting out! The bread is thick and sturdy, soaking up all the savory lamb juices. One of these alone could fill you up! ๐ Mains We Loved: Beef Over Rice: Tastes just like the cumin beef and onion stir-fry from old-school Lanzhou noodle shops ๐ง ๐ Lamb Soup with Vermicelli & Flatbread: A rich, slow-cooked broth. Add chili oil for extra flavor! Lanzhou Potato Noodles: A signature dish you wonโt find anywhere else ๐ ๐ Hand-Torn Lamb Leg Tender, non-gamey lamb served with onions, garlic, and chili-salt dip. So flavorful and not greasy at all! โ No-tip policy โ service is great, and you serve yourself sauces and cutlery ๐ต We spent just ~$20 per person ๐ฅก Got the yogurt to-go via Panda for only $4! ๐ Aipapa (Ai Hu Zi) 18495 Colima Rd, Ste 8, Rowland Heights, CA 91748 #AipapaLA #NorthwestChinese #RowlandHeightsEats #NoTipNeeded #LADeals
