yesssss happy it’s still around. I wonder if banh beo travels ok?
Typically sold on styrofoam platters Togo at Vietnamese bakeries so yes they travel well.
Update: it is GORGEOUS to go
Oh and it and the lemongrass beef + shrimp summer roll were as great as ever.
Dim sum places aren’t exactly the greatest for Shanghaiese food. Aside from (obviously) a Shanghaiese place, a Taiwanese places can also do SJB better. Here are my juicy, delicious SJB from a recent trip to You Kitchen (Alhambra)…
I had some shockingly good SJB at Kang Kang Food Court recently, though my experience with them is limited.
Yes, Kang Kang has become almost synonymous with SJB. I wanted to give our intrepid FTCers some options aside from Kang Kang.
Honestly I had no idea; I was taken there by a friend for round 2 after a trip to Yama Seafood (which had almost no line, though still didn’t really feel worth a trip to the SGV even given the QPR). Is anything else at Kang Kang worth trying?
Is that SJB actually green???
Kang kang is def a one good stop for me never tried anything else there. The hot and cold dishes look like they sit there for a long long time.
Haha yes.
The zongzi at Kang Kang is perfect for reheating the next day.
they may not technically be described as SJB in their menu, but the pan fried pork buns at tasty noodle house in the same plaza as golden deli are awfully good.
I’ve always liked the SJB at Tasty Noodle House. When their Sawtelle location first opened, I was lovin’ it.
A couple of updates on Alhambra’ Main street:
It looks like Beijing Pie House has closed permanently. I haven’t seen any activity at the restaurant in weeks. Yelp reports the status as CLOSED.
Boiling Crab moved one block west. I guess they were waiting until the new location completed its update.
A new restaurant opened a few months back, Meet Qin Noodle. I think they specialize with Shaanxi cuisine. I have not tried it.
In San Gabriel, Hunan Spicy Taste has been replaced by the Taiwanese leaning Tasty House. L2 New Tea will open in the former AU 79 space.
Any decent outdoor dining left in the 626 or has everything moved back indoors
Update - 5 stars hue Alhambra - yes per phone call
I think it literally changes daily, and a lot of the smaller restaurants have limited outdoor dining. Recently outdoor meals at OK Cafe, Cafe Baccali, Top Island. There are still a lot of tents out there, and the only place I know of that has a tent but doesn’t use it is NBC.
Yeah that’s why I’m poking around for fresh info instead of looking up thread. Thanks for update.
