Bale Valley Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Reason for visiting: lunch Date/time of visit: Tuesday afternoon, around noon Parking: limited parking in the front, some in the back, and on the street. Better to park on the street; the parking in the back is tight (small spaces) and the front is limited due to parking reserved for other businesses. Party size: 2 Environment/ambience: not too busy. Restaurant was relatively clean, as was the restroom. Service: prompt and quick. They don't come around often; one of those places you come in for a quick bite and leave. Pay at the front. Mostly Asian people Food: had the shrimp, crab, meat, pork with with wonton rice noodle soup (HỦ TIẾU HOÀNH THÁNH, TÔM, CUA, THỊT), which was pretty good (with the soup, not dry). Lemonade is also good. Cost: not too bad, 2 people...

Yesterday I found a small metal fragment from a metallic sponge in my Number 30 soup. It was in the food that I was already chewing, and I had to pull it out of my mouth. You can imagine the horror that swept over me as I realized what I had almost ingested. Fearing for our health, my girlfriend and I immediately stopped eating, payed for everything except the soup, and left. I caution everyone to think twice before choosing to go here, and if you do, double check your dish before proceeding to eat. It’s a shame that I have to label this restaurant as a health hazard, because what little food I did get to eat before stopping...

We were there for dinner. I did not remember what item numbers were the noodles we ordered, but I definitely remembered that the deep fried chicken with broken rice was the best. I ordered that everytime I go there.. seriously EVERY TIME!! LOL But my mom, who ordered the dry egg noodles ( soup on the side) with shrimps & crab meat. She was satisfied with her order. My friend ordered the rice noodles soup with pork and shrimp, was also satisfied with her order. The egg rolls were also very good!

Between us, we only pay under 60 bucks for 4 items! Which was really good!
