Haolin - Rowland Heights

The food is excellent, but the service is disappointing. I waited an hour for my meal, even though I was dining alone and only ordered two items. The waitress seemed to deliberately ignore me, spending her time texting on her phone instead.

Good food, big portion, decent service, very decent price, full menu for Chinese foodie! They had special deal on fresh steamed fish when I visited, $9.99 for a big tail of fresh fish, nice!

Locale Destination It 's on S Nogales St and E Gale Ave in Rowland Heights. It 's in the same plaza as 99 ranch market , on the left side of Class 302 . I didn 't realize there were many restaurants in the complex. Ambiance: Simple, pop mom shop. Nothing fancy. You got to go through the big bead noren in Japanese to get to the bathroom, which is very annoying. Service: Friendly Menu: It came up on the Yelp search by dim sum . However, they have more than dim sum noodles, fried rice etc. Some dim sum was displayed by the entrance. Price is a bit more expensive than others in this area. They give you the portion, which I 'm not fond of. I rather have varieties than portion. I think they have a lunch menu, which is supposed to be very cheap. Parking: Plenty Gluttony Expedition Xiao long bao å°ç± åŒ… : The skin was all broken, so I had no soup in it : The stuffing was meh, but hard to judge it without soup. How come dim sum place screw up with this??? Chive pancake: Very big 2 pancakes. Chinese style doughy tortilla with sautéed chives and green onions. I like a bit soy sauce dipping on it. Not bad. Conqueror 's Deduction I don 't see the amazing balls about this place from what I got. Xiao long bao was a total failure for sure. I might give another shot. I like varieties. I don 't like to eat the same one dish for big portion. Dim sum is something you could order multiple dishes for varieties. However, dim sum here are meant for the big family portion wise . Every dish is like 6 8 pieces for $8+ I think it 's a little more expensive than others in these areas . It 's hard to try different things for 2 people. I wish they were less portions with cheaper price tags so that I could try more.

You definitely get your money's worth here. I anticipated the dishes to taste mediocre given the price, but they actually exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to returning!

I love their dumplings, their ox tail soup was good and the portion is quite large. Hand made noodles are also pretty good. The lamb noodle soup is what I usually go for as my main dish. Pot stickers and dumplings as my side dishes. This is not a fancy restaurant. But the kitchen is pretty neat and clean you can see from outside. And you can use your credit cards to pay. These two advantages are usually something difficult to find among Chinese restaurants therefore I valued them a lot in this restaurant. I high recommend it for some quick, convenient dinner for small parties. Service is pretty friendly too.
