Huo Zhou Wang - San Gabriel

This restaurant isn't cheap, but they serve authentic dishes. You can even watch the chef take fresh seafood straight from the tank. Food: 5/5.

I haven't eaten it for a long time. I added bullfrog and preserved eggs. It is still delicious and I can't stop eating it.

The price is honesty fine: good congee can some times be expensive especially when it contains fresh seafood. But their congee literally taste like MSG. I'm Chinese and I usually love MSG. But this place? With congee? Way too much sodium and artificial umami.

Really really tasty porridge. It is on the pricy side if you order seafood.

Absolutely impressive! It tastes exactly like what I had in China, although the prices are a bit on the higher side, and, as usual, you'll find yourself hungry again soon after. Still, it's by far the best porridge (or congee) I've found on the West Coast so far. Definitely give it a try!
