Tin Tin Restaurant — Restaurant in Rosemead

The lunch specials are now $10.95 from 11am - 6pm. We ordered a scrambled egg with shrimp, pea sprouts in broth, salt and pepper pork chop, hand shredded brown chicken and steam black cod with black soy beans. All the dishes were tasty and portions were generous. It comes with a big bowl of soup of the day and a big tub of long grain jasmine white rice. We arrived 5-7 minutes after they opened, the restaurant is already half full on Saturday. The restaurant is understaffed, we ask for a glass of ice water, it did not come until there were other tables that ordered similar items where the waitress eventually brought our ice water. The dishes also come in batches as well after we ordered. The 1st dish that came was the salt and pepper pork chops, since there about 5-6 tables ordered a similar item. The second dish that came was the scrambled egg with shrimp. We saw the waiter carrying 4 plates of the same scrambled egg with shrimp and distributing it to the table around us. While we were eating there were lots of customers coming in or calling in for placing to-go orders. The kitchen staff is overwhelmed and the rest of our food is now running behind. We have to wave down the waiter and waitress a few times to check on the remainder of our order.

Some customers even know which drawer to open for utensils, plastic bags, spoons, small...

The food prices are awesome. The food serving isn't a lot compared to other asian restaurants I've been to. I'm not sure if it's only for certain dish or all of them. I don't like their service it took like 30-35min for them to serve us the first dish and we order like 4 dishes and only serve us one every 5-10min. The waitresses are not friendly either. It was horrible service so no star for that. You need to spend at least 2hours when coming here and it wasn't even lunch or dinner when we went there it was around 3:20pm but the service was so slow. Just imagine the rush hours lol. Don't try to go when you only have 30min-1hr lunch break it's better to go get a quick bite from McDonald's or Pollo loco...

Had not come here for a while, but came here with my family during the weekend.

Used to actually love the food because of huge portion for the cheap price with a tasted good...BUT now it is salty salty salty...at least most of the dishes we ordered seem to be. Portions are smaller than before, but there was a lot of selection for $5.50 for lunch special which last till 6 PM (make sure you read fine print on top of menu).

Had to wait, but on the plus is they have a lot of larger tables than a lot of Chinese restaurants. Customer services were not bad in that they were busy, but they were listening. Parking is free, but limited on a...
