I hope the boss is reading this because it will make them way ahead of his competition (see baked pork chop over rice comment)
First let me mentioned that I'm from Nor Cal, so I don't have the luxury to try every HK style bistro to compare. I've been to 6 most popular one in LA and a few of them been around for ages. This one is new and it's my first time here. I'd say, I will come back here again just because it's better than all those are tried.
Borscht Soup - I liked it. I've had better. But it's close enough that I enjoyed it. It's still missing certain flavor than the one I had in HK... But not sure what it is. Still not bad.
Baked Portuguese style chicken rice - This was a surprise. We thought we ordered 焗葡國雞飯 but it turned out to be baked chicken in Portuguese sauce and then steam rice on the side. Usually, they stirred fried the rice and put the sauce on top and baked it. I think the waiter put the order wrong nonetheless, it's delicious though! The flavor is good chicken is tender using dark meat.
Baked chicken steak over rice red sauce - The reason why I ordered chicken steak and not pork chop is because they are stupid. They refused to use pork cutlet for the pork chop (deep fried breaded boneless pork chop). It's stupid because they offered pork cutlet on other dish so I ordered to pay more but they said no can't do. May be it's the waiter issue again. The red sauce is ok. Again I've tasted better bury it's not bad. I wanted to say it lacks a little Worcestershire sauce and sugar (Did I just gave out the secret recipe for red sauce?😅)
Crab fried rice - It's not like a traditional crab fried rice. The fried rice for good wok air 鑊氣 but the flavor is not what I expected. If they want to do crab fried rice Thai style, we need fish sauce 魚露. It looked like they do it with topiko. Those is the...
Read moreThis is a busy and noisy restaurant. Taste of food/ drinks: 4.5 stars; Selection on the menu: 5 stars; Price, and serving portion: 5 stars Recommendation: the steak combo (I got pan-fried fish fillet and cubes of fillet mignon, sided with corn) with complimentary soup of choice. They offers refillable hot/iced drinks for $1.99 if you order the special lunch/dinner menu items (ranges from $9-14 each). Don’t miss the iced red beans in milk tea. The ginger and chicken fried rice looks bland but packed with flavors. I requested for extra green onion when I place the order.
Service: 4 stars; attentive, friendly and “effective”, they don’t let you wait. During the meal hours, the waiters sit the customers before the cleaned table is dryf. Orders are delivered from the kitchen to the tables at the speed of 120 steps per minute. Soup is hot, drinks are ice cold. Bathroom, floor, and...
Read moreE.A.T Bistro at San Gabriel Blvd & Garvey the worst cafe in San Gabriel Valley, today We went to this cafe for breakfast with friend, I ordered a French toast and a ice lemon tea, the French toast indicated on the menu has Three slice, see attach photos, it's not considered three slice, it's only 1& 1/2 slice,
Andother main concern, the syrup with the french toast, it has been someone used it and inside is empty, It is ridiculously mistake or the waiter do it by purpose?! see attach photo! so I called the waiter, and the waiter responsed the syrup may leaking, Come on, if this is really leaking, how come there is nothing left inside, this is absolutely someone used this syrup before, and the waiter just take it back to the next customer, it make me feel vomit at...
