Har Lam Kee in Monterey Park was one of our family’s go to spots for the weekly family dinner. $30 could get 3 dishes, soup, and rice. *sigh

Speaking of SGV….Noodle Boy’s wonton mee was so damn good. Don’t know who has the best bowl now. My favorite bowl right now would actually be in Flushing at Maxi’s Noodle. Maxi has relatives in LA so here’s hoping for a Maxi’s Noodle # 3!

Anyone know what happened to Noodle Boy? Did they retire?

Also I think I might’ve said this up thread but oumi sasaya. I sigh pretty much every time I drive past their old location south South Bay doesn’t have a ton in terms of good Japanese unfortunately. If that was still there I probably would go weekly.
