It's gotten chilly in L.A. recently, perfect for visiting Jiao Yan! 🍲

📍 A new spot just opened in Temple City Passed by today and decided to try it—what a pleasant surprise! Right at the entrance, I noticed their extensive 9.99💰 specials menu! Ordered the Mapo Tofu and Beijing-style shredded pork—both were delicious, no disappointments at all! 😋 The Mapo Tofu was fragrant, spicy, and perfect with rice, while the shredded pork had just the right sweet-salty balance, especially tasty wrapped in pancakes! With the cold weather lately, their Golden Soup Pork Tripe and Chicken was absolutely amazing! 🍗 The broth was rich and golden—just looking at it warmed me up, and one sip heated my whole body! ❤️🔥 It even comes with a hotpot-like nine-grid assortment of sides 👉 mushrooms, veggies, chicken, meatballs, tofu skin… you name it! The sauce station was fully stocked too—mixing my own dip was the soul of the meal! 💫 The golden soup, tripe, and chicken were all perfect for dipping No major letdowns with any dishes—highly recommended! 👍 #JiaoYan #LosAngeles #LAFood #SanGabrielFoodExplore #RowlandHeights
