Acc Chinese Fast Food — Restaurant in Alhambra

This was one of the most disappointing meals that I have ever had.

While walking around the area, I frequently bypass ACC Chinese Fast Food and always make a mental note to try it since I like trying new places. I come inside with my brother and we are immediately greeted by a Chinese man who politely seats us and asks for what we want. I ended up ordering #64, the smoked fish combo, for $6.40 while my brother orders #63, the beef combo.

We chat for a bit and look around at the restaurant while waiting for our order. It is your typical cozy mom and pop shop -- nothing too out of the ordinary. When the dish comes out, both of us were surprised at how little food it was for the price. Essentially, I was given 2 small pieces of fish, some steamed vegetables, an egg, a slab of rice, and a few drops of mustard greens. When I ate the food, everything was either cold or lukewarm -- except for the soup that was provided to us. There wasn't much flavor in anything at all either. The soup was on the salty side, the vegetables were just steamed without any seasoning, the fish had sauce but was also cold, and, lastly, the egg was okay.

The part that I thought was most appalling was the fact that the fish was heated in a microwave. I could tell as the styrofoam plate had markings that showed that the sauce ate into the plate. Not only is this bad because the fish was still cold, but they're also serving me styrofoam in my food -- which is a carcinogen.

As a side note, while we are eating, another customer comes into the restaurant and orders roast duck. When they bring it out, I looked over my shoulder and could tell that the roast duck was amazingly prepared. It looked juicy and the skin looked crisp.

All in all, from what I ordered, I was sad to pay $8 (including tip) for what I ordered. Even after finishing my food, I was still hungry and decided to eat more at home. I have no intent on coming back here again (though the employees...

As much as I want to support this local mom&pop restaurant and stores, I feel the public deserve an honest review.

About this place: 1.) The 2% fee is added after tax, meaning you are paying additional fee for tax and food. 2.) Overall very salty food, and meat (ordered beef and duck) taste gamey. So I'm still debating if I should come back for veggies only.

Only came here once. I was going visit at least a few times before the end of purchase before posting a review. Because I can tell they did their best to keep this place clean and neat (although the overall grading is B, but that probably has something to do with the hanging pig LOL), up to date (accept credit card with a fee), and the price seems fair.

However, I don't like the way things end, and can't vouch for both the food and the prices shown. So here's my experience and the rating.

I ordered the stirred fried A-veggie with minced garlic, a couple of duck head, wings, collar, and beef type trio. Had a little chat and feel connected with the auntie lady and she said my total is $30ish but she'll round down to $28. My math is bad But it doesn't sound too far off, so I agreed. She was happy and want to give me free rice, I told her I don't need that. While waiting for food, I did the calculation and my total should be $23.79 before tax and fee. I didn't know where the $30 cam from. I only get to confirm the two main dishes because another comes for a Togo order. The answer I got was I forgot the tax. I didn't think she understand me, and she told me to be happy to end the conversation. I really feel for them, so I smile and left. Oh, and very little beef tripe; ended up dumping 70% of that dish.

It's rough for small restaurants to survive nowadays. And they must have something good to survive until now. But I don't feel like not able to trust the price signs and checking numbers over and over again, so, maybe you'll have better luck than I. Be happy and...

Small family business; come support them.

Okay to excellent food!!! Good price!!! The serving size to price ratio is excellent. Cozy location. Decent seating quantity. Decent seating quality. The food taste varies. The soy sauce packet was tasteless and a waste of money for the business. The lady who works the front is nice. Service is great.

I came in calling out if anyone was here. No one answered for the longest time. I could hear the cook was busy cooking. I'm not sure why but the other staff were busy; the lady was nice when she came out. The food exceeded my expectations and is better than most restaurants. I'm surprised this place doesn't have more customers.

I'd likely visit when I'm nearby :)

The 2nd time I ordered chicken fried rice, it was mediocre...if they could consistently make the fried rice as good as the 1st visit, they would have a line out the door and people reserving them for weekend catering!!!
