东镇老火锅 Flower Peppers — Restaurant in City of Industry

We visited SoCal specifically because a friend told us that they have the grilled frog in copper pot dish. We drove down in 6 hours to try it so why only 3 stars? Well, first of all, let's talk about false advertisement. The grilled frog in copper pot has three key ingredients: frogs, grilled, copper pot. However, we got a spicy frog in Sichuan sauce in an aluminum pan. The lame excuse is that it's due to covid but there is no way the frogs are grilled. They are not even breaded properly. It's so different not only from the real deal it's a completely different dish. The frogs are at least fresh which is all I will say. For about $80 it's a huge letdown. The services were good as we were offered free coconut juice but I couldn't add more stars because the other dishes weren't anything special either. The 小炒肉 or stir-fried sliced pork is my judge of how good a restaurant is and it's only so so. It's not bad but not worth driving more than 30 minutes for. The Sichuan fried pork also is not crispy enough to be any special as even Haidilao has better version. It's not a bad restaurant but not special enough to warrant a return visit when there are so many...

以前来这里，查看review，发现一个星，觉得不公平。今天再次来，觉得一个星都偏多。 ●正像有人说的，服务态度真是差劲，而且恶心。如下： ●以前发现他们推荐好的非常贵的菜，没觉得怎样。现在读了好多老饕的评价，看来真是他们在推销高价的东西。我们有同感。 ●今天最恶心：我们2:40进店，女waitress领位入座后，来个男的问几个人就餐。发现我们人少，就说"你们可以坐下order及eat，但是必须在20-30之内离开"。（此处行略1000字，觉得20-30min连order及炒菜都不行，何况是enjoy）。 ●其实，他就是觉得我们人少，变相赶我走。而且太多恶心，恶劣，比逼着顾客pay tip及买高价食物还差劲。 I was here previous，with soso experience，for 2 or 3 stars. I feel so bad for them, I see they got one star ONLY from a lot of costomers. But I feel one star is too much already with my experience from today.

From my experience in the past, They are indeed having interests to push everyone for expensive items. Very bad.

What's my experience today is that I came in and I was LED to a seat by a female waitress, 14:40 （ they have to close at 3 PM for break）. After we sat down at the table, a waiter came over asking us as to how many we are, and telling us with a rude attitude and tone "if you order/eat here, at 2:50pm, you have to leave at 3:20pm", as soon as he asked and knew we only have 2 persons. I told him 20 minutes are not even enough to cook my foods. He did not care at all.

be cautious: they mislead you to buy expensive items expensive items, as experienced before, but not this time because they do not have a chance at all. :） Bad attitude Do not come here if you don't want to be...

This Szechuan restaurant is incredible, very authentic flavor and so many dishes to choose from. The food is delicious, fragrant, flavorful, and has a nice level of spiciness due to the use of the Szechuan peppercorn (also known as the flower pepper). It’s recommended that you come here with a big group of friends or family so that you can try as many items as possible. The service is also great, very friendly...
