There used to be a good pork chop rice place on san gabriel, but it is now called indian restaurant (taiwanese food, alcoholic drinks place, girl servers dressed as pocahontas lol, not bad). Kang kang food court on valley/garfield in alhambra has pretty decent pork chop rice.
I like saigon eden on las tunas for pho.

I think this thread needs to be organized better. Places such as Golden Deli and Oak Tree should be like, highlighted since they're recommended more than once. Also would be nice if we can organized it by type of food lolz.

There is this hole in a wall place I go to for pork chop rice. It also depends on which you like, this one is battered.

It's in Monterey Park, Chandler & Garvey. Next door to Sam Woo. It's called "Pearls". My mom knows the owner.

There is too many places I like. I'll just list what I can think of. Yes Im' breaking the 5 top rule.

Lee Kam Kee - Alhambra
King Taco - Pasadena
Shin sen gumi - Rosemead
Shakas - Monterey Park
Noodle World (Yes, I love noodle world) - Alhambra
YAZMIN - Alhambra
Kim Chuy - Alhambra
Victory Restaurant - Monterey Park
PaPa Walk - San Gabriel
Tani's - South Pasadena
Sinbala - Arcadia
That Dim sum restaurant in Monterey Park on Atlantic by FOO FOO TEI. Totally forgot the name of this restaurant. haha
Savoy - Alhambra
Little vietnamese restaurant on New Ave & Valley in the 168 Market. Forgot name too. HAHA
INDO Kitchen - Alhambra
Tokyo Table - Arcadia
Moffetts Chicken Pot Pie - Arcadia

There's a bunch of little taiwanese/shanghainese places, but I can never remember the names. I just go and eat and it's cheap.

Ohh, sorry I can't say I do. My mom used to play Mah Jong with the owner.

The taco nazo I heard about is in el monte. I believe it is a couple of blocks east of rosemead on garfield.

Haha I know because I have been there several times. Decent place to get pitchers of beer and appetizers. There is only one pocahontas that stands out there. You'll know what I mean if you ever go.

All it would take is a small meet to fill up the parking since the lot is so small. There is more parking in the back though that fills up as well. You can have uncle joe's donuts after a night of drinking haha...

Here's some more info on the indian place:
