they serve both thick and thin...al dante!

went on Saturday evening. Broth was great for both the shio and shoyu ramen. Had the hard boiled egg..which is so-so. Gyzoas were good and so was the potato fries.

was too hungry to take any pics. Cheese cake was decent too.

ditto...my friends tell me Penang's Hainanese Chicken rice is pretty good too...

Picked up some sesame and red bean mochi. Good stuff. $1.80 per piece. Not sure if it is also available at other Mitsuwas?

no Man Chan of Rowland Heights? (IMO closest to the Singapore version)...

what disappoints me is the lack of boiled chicken liver and soy eggs options in LA.

why isn't Panda Express and PF Chang on the list?!

and that might be me....i was waiting for some soy sauce tofu while they cut up the 1lb of pork. Would recommend skipping the tofu.

wait..on 2nd thoughts..that's probably the guy after me..i got there at 1130 and some guy came in for that 1 lb order...so 2 lbs gone in 15 mins span.

thanks TonyC! will try it this week.

impressive...Shawn Cafe pic seems to indicate that David was not impressed ;-)

what is the location/address? can't seem to pull it up with any searches.

did try the dim sum there earlier this year..will NEVER go back. Dim Sum Express is better 10x.

Lunch combo is cost of ramen (various pricing, I think the Ox-tail and spicy miso are $1 more) and you can pick one item (out of a list..e.g., gyoza, fried rice, scallop/tuna/albacore rolls etc) for an additional $2.50.

So about $10 ($7.50+2.50). I liked the rolls selection, about 8 count if i recall correctly.

Reposting this again:

Did not find a thread here about King Hua's dinner, so here's one.

Scenario:

1. Craving for some good canto-influenced chinese food.
2. Missed the old The Kitchen on Valley
4. Did not care for Sea Habor or Elite
5. Decided to try King Hua since we liked their dim sum

What we ordered:

1. Sea cucumber with fish maw, chinese mustard and tofu.
- Generous serving of sea cucumbers, just right chewiness
- Fish maw was very interesting; it absorbed the sauce and chinese mustard over the cause of the dinner.
- Tofu was tofu
- Chinese mustard was green and fresh!

2. E-fu noodles with mushrooms
- Not too watery, used 4 different types of mushrooms

3. Steamed eggplant special
- with ground pork and preserved vege
- was steamed just right and the sauce was perfect
- would have gone better with white rice but we already had noodles

All 3 were EXCELLENT and we have very biased Singaporean taste buds.

Desserts was the green bean soup which was thick and excellent (not the diluted type served elsewhere).

In all, the price is worth it due to the high quality and fresh ingredients used.

Not sure why this place is not more popular. The food was on par with some of the good chinese restaurants back in Singapore.

Was sad to see it was not more busy on a Saturday evening.

This will be our go-to place from now on for a good chinese/canto dinner.

gonna try posting it one more time.

oh, another tip for this place is to definitely sit at the sushi bar.

Chef's english might not be good and is kind of quiet, but he does open up with recommendations after a bit.

my bad..typo. I did post a pic and also posted a new thread about dinner at King Hua...but they were deleted by the mods?

The ramen was good, they used the curly noodles which i like. Broth was not too overwhelming or oil.

my only 'issue' was that they would not deep fry the Aji bones; but I think it was miscommunication -> the chef didn't speak english very well.

Went on a second visit prior to posting a quick review here.

1st Visit:
1. Had the tonkatsu ramen combo with spicy scallop roll
2. Nigiri selection of tai, halibut and albacore
3. Cheesecake

Feedback: For the price, unbeatable. Especially for the lunch combo. Ramen is pretty good and sushi is fresh.

2nd Visit:
1. Had the tonkatsu ramen combo with spicy albacore roll
2. 2 Aji's, nigiri selection of albacore and halibut
3. Chocolate Cheesecake

Feedback: Chocolate cheesecake is excellent. Again, the pricing WRT to freshness is unbeatable.

I like the fact that I can have sushi and the kid can have ramen + dessert. With all selections being above average.

Place had been open for 8 months according to the sushi chef. This might be my default lunch place if I am in the neighborhood if I don't feel like Shinshengumi.

p.s. do not expect high-end sushi dining.

Farm to table vegetables were EXCELLENT.

We ordered the Colorado Lamb Leg and Duck Breast.

Lamb leg was too dry, sauce was excellent.

Duck on the other hand...was very very good. Highly recommended. Not sure how do describe it..rare but not rare? Texture was to die for. Fat under skin was minimal..surprisingly good.

Skip the 'left hand' menu and go with the daily fresh vegs...can't go wrong.

i did went for lunch today..probably won't go back as the food is pretty average. Had the steamed tilapia and bay special duck.

wished The Kitchen (at its peak) was still around.

do they have lunch specials?

Second time we visited the place.

Neighborhood is definitely depressed with empty shop fronts.

Lunch specials are definitely worth it. Sizes are excellent IMO for lunch....not the crazy Claim Jumper size.

Tried 2 items today:

1. Hunan Lamb
More gamey than expected. Probably due to less use of garlic vs how it is done at Hunan places.

2. Pig Kidney with Sesame oil and ginger
Not bad. Would order this again; but Cafe Fusion might has a slight edge (but $$$$ more too)

All in all..an excellent lunch venue. Tried the steam tilapia previous and it was pretty standard/fresh. There are more interesting items on the menu to try.

Hope this mom & pop (literally) shop sticks around.

Anyone tried Jackpot yet? Have very low expectations of their 'Laksa' hotpot..but am still intrigued by it.

Replacing the now defunct Little Britain which replaced an Armenian place which replaced something I don't recall.

horrible butcher service at San Gabriel Superstore too.

since last month according to the 1st yelp review. might have to put this in the dead pool ;-)

first time in that plaza; but looking at google maps street view, it might have replaced Onionhead. It was next to Xu Garden and across from some hot pot place (which had 1 customer)

not that i recall, was not going to stay around after waiting so long for our order (place was not busy).

Saw this flyer posted. Am gonna guess that it will be insanely packed?

Waite almost 30 minutes for food that should come out right away:

1. Sucking Pig Rice Plate
Good; pricey for the portion size.

2. Marinated House Duck
Good; ordered it as a side.

3. House Special Stir Fry Vermicelli
AVOID. Not even worth taking a picture of it. Alot of MSG in it.

Located at that new 4 seasons mall:

18508-A Gale Ave
City of Industry, CA 91748

they have a tea-time special too. (can't remember the hours)

I like the new 168 on Las Tunas.
