Zui Xiang Yuan - Alhambra

I didn't have 5 stars because it's the best food ever, but it was all I expected as a Chinese guy want decent beef stew noodle and onion pancake in my hood I grew up. Brother tried to be bark rolls and rag dumplings were great. All and all good experiences in no Frills place in Stripe Mall often called Crawford's Corner when I was small.. Worth a visit. We'll be back.

The best spicy beef(so delicate) noodle soup, shrimp dumplings, onion pancakes, leek bao. Plenty of taste! You have a super friendly service woman, but only speaks Chinese. Don't worry, the boss speaks English and she's also very nice. Since I've been here for over 4 years, they always had a health class that is very important to me.

I really enjoy coming to family businesses like this. There are more than just Panda, so keep in this place! Original recipes and very good food. I ordered the beef cake (4), cool chicken noodles and the sworn beef noodle soup. I'll be back.

This has become one of our favorite places to go in the past few months. The staff are friendly and always pleasant (not always a given in a Chinese restaurant in this area! , but of course, it's the food that really keeps us coming back. We have not explored the menu in great depth because we love their bread food! The meat pies are great we've eaten at Beijing a Pie House many, many times, but they were the only game in town back then. Well, now there's a new player that keeps us coming back over and over again. The beef pies are really good. Chinese restaurants don't always do beef very well, but these folks have got it down. Our next favorite are the pork and leek pies. Flavorful pork and lots of fresh leek. The other pies are very good too, but the best thing about this place are the unique leek pies! A plate full of these little leek filled wonders are unlike anything anywhere else in the SGV. Thick and full of flavor, not like the usual thin and greasy leek pies you see everywhere else. We have not tried much else because we *have* to get the leek pies . . . and the meat pies are not far behind. By then, there's no room for anything else. Maybe someday in another review.

We use to eat there once to twice a week until their food portions shrank and prices went up. I get the prices may rise but dumplings are way smaller and noodle bowls are smaller. The shrimp dumplings use to be filled where it was the best sized in town, now it's nothing to rave about. Of course, service there is never the greatest but we went for the food taste and portions. I stop bring my friends family there. Bring back the decent portions and we will sure be back with a crowd.
