I kinda dig Auntie Q in Alhambra for dumplings (shenjian bao especially) and the overall homey vibe. There + Sunday farmers market has been a go-to.

M Joy is crazy good. Very much worth going to. When I went last month I immediately texted @PorkyBelly that he needs to come.

Dan dan at Lan. I enjoyed the hell out of this. The sauce, and noodles were just perfect today.
Youpo mian. Great chew but doesn’t quit hit like Luyu.

Ning’s Jinzhou BBQ opened last year on Garvey Ave. in Monterey Park. Jinzhou is supposedly the BBQ capital of China. Don’t know if it had been previously represented in the SGV. Big crowds.

Okay, this is a style of food I’m totally unfamiliar w/. One Yelp review says it’s northeastern style skewers, and another review says it’s the best of the all the skewer joints.
Are there a lot skewer restaurants in the SGV???
Another review mentions guo bao rou. I assume this is the Chinese equivalent of tan soo yuk?
These days skewer restaurants may rank second behind hotpots as the most popular genre of Chinese restaurants in the SGV. They also often only open for dinner, so unless you live in the SGV your dining opportunities are restricted.

Hoping for a good HK cafe dinner tomorrow night. Been a minute since ive enjoyed. Where are people liking these days in the 626?
Baccali because it makes me feel like I’m in a real restaurant. EAT Bistro has great food, but less ambiance. Also a big fan of HK Macau Bistro.
