I've never eaten there, I've only been to around 3 or 4 Pho places? I tend to stick to what I know.....where is it located?

I like Golden Deli and if it's too crowded you can go across the street to their sister restaurant, Vietnam. It's been awhile since I've been there though, right after the fire which destroyed the 7-11.

I used to like Taco Nazo, pretty good fried fish tacos but last time I had them they tasted bad. Perhaps it was a bad batch?

I get good Thai food here in Hollywood in Thai town where there's another Sanamluang too.

golden deli is bomb.. but always packed..

savoy's hainan chicken is good but there used to be a place in rowland called "hainan chicken".. best you can get.. too bad they made too much money and closed shop.. i was devastated lol

tokyo lobby is good for their non sushi stuff.. one time they served our sushi on a warm plate i was like wtf....

shogun is dam good .. big pieces of fish.. its up rosemead past foothill

shinsungumi's ramen is pretty good.. better than ajisan..

you guys have to go try chano's if you like mexican food.. authentic.. better than king taco imo.. i came back from an ensanada cruise where i had tacos in mexico.. went to chanos and i was like.. hmm this still is the best

There are so many restaurants in the SGV, it's really hard to pick...but here are my choices.

JJ's Cafe (HK style Cafe - Monterey Park)
Foo Foo Tei (Japanese Noodles - Monterey Park)
Little Shanghai (Dumplings and more dumplings - Arcadia)
Jazz Cat Cafe (Personal Hot Pots - Alhambra)
Dong Nguyen (IMO better Hainan Chicken Rice than Savoy - Alhambra)
Bistro De La Gare (Boutique French Restaurant - South Pasadena)

you're kidding me, right? lobby as top 5?

you know the Hacienda location was sold and the original owner, last i heard, only has the tustin and san gab locations.

i used to work at all 3 locations, a long long long loooooooooooooong time ago.
