Hsiang Yuen Restaurant — Restaurant in Artesia

Foods are really good.

The reasons why I gave them 3 stars are that the servers were awful, the utensils were dirty and flies were flying on the table.

It was my first time visiting. So, I asked the server which one was better between black bean noodles and Jjambbong. (Last time I went to a Jjambbong restaurant, but Jjambbong was really bad and black bean noodles were more delicious)

I wanted her to recommend me one of those that they are confident with and good at. She told me that these two are totally different and what I meant with the embarrassing face. It seems like she didn't get my point at all. It was fine. She looked like a Chinese Korean. But the most uncomfortable thing was that after she got our order and went back to the counter, she was sarcastic and gossiping about my question to her co-worker and laughing loudly so that the cook even asked her what was going on. I can hear enough of what they are saying, and I saw her. She noticed it, and they started speaking in Chinese. Is it normal for servers to gossip and be savage to customers so loudly that the customer can even notice what they are saying?

음식은 맛있는데 서버하시는 분들이 무례함. 식기가...

The family was in the mood for some Korean Chinese food and the place closer to my house was closed so we found this place. With good reviews we decided to try it. For those that grew up with Korean Chinese food, this place is just like what you remember from back in the day. They didn't try to modernize anything and just kept it as is, just like it's supposed to be. Everything was good and it tasted fresh. I usually don't order Mongolian beef as most times, the meat is very chewy, but it wasn't here. It was tender and flavored very nicely. We also ordered the Noodles with Black Bean Sauce Noodle aka Jajangmyeon. I liked it but it wasn't great. My family on the other hand thought that it was great. The Sweet & Sour pork and the Fried Shrimp with hot garlic sauce were crunchy despite us ordering to go. Their portion size was also good. I find most places charge more AND reduce the portion size but here, although the prices did increase, the portion size is still good. That's a big plus in my book. Overall, I would come back here again and would recommend...

I ordered take out from Hsiang Yuen tonight for the first time and WOW I will definitely be back. My order was black bean sauce noodles, beef chow mein, and orange chicken. The food was prepared and ready to go on time when I arrived. I was greeted like a family member and helped quickly with a smile. It made me feel good, like I chose a great restaurant who cares about all customers. When I got home I realized that the food was packaged in a very smart way. The orange chicken was separated from its sauce and so was the black bean and noodles. This method kept the food from being soggy, I was impressed. As I started mixing everything up... The aroma was mouth water. I was NOT surprised when every bite was top tier cuisine. They even threw in some delicious kimchi. Not too strong, just right.

Both my wife and I agreed to rate this place five stars. We ate until full and still have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. I can't wait for those 😁

Thank you HY team. You earned a repeat...
