Great burgers! We got Tower Burger and Taiwanese Chicken Burger, with the popular Iced Milk with Caramel, Honey Boba, and Pudding. The drinks can be a bit expensive once you learn how simple the ingredients are, but the burgers are worth it! Xavier, the guy usually working the floor, says that the patty is hand-made. That explains why it takes about 15-20 minutes. When you get the food though, it is absolutely amazing and worth the wait. I just wish it came with more potato balls! Fries are good too, of course!

Their bakery items seem fine and decently priced, but I came here for a drink since the advertised price was better than the other places nearby, and the quality was terrible!! The milk tea was plain with a bitter aftertaste, and the boba was mushy. Blech. I'm willing to try the bakery items but the drinks gave me a bad impression =/

Alex Di Peppe's Italian Restaurant

The food is good but the place is mediocre; the location is in the less affluent part of Arcadia and the parking is simply whatever you can find on the street. This restaurant is a tiny lil place and can get noisy. I didn't dare get water here because I saw that a mineral water with a lemon slice in it was $2.25; what if they charged me that if I just wanted regular water?! anyway...

We got a small Larry's pizza, which had ground beef, tomatoes, bell peppers and onions. The crust was amazing. It was thick, and had a crunch to it but it was chewy the rest of the way and not dry like other places make it. The small was actually pretty big for us! We also got Chicken Alfredo with fettuccine, which had too much sauce, but the chicken was fresh and the sauce was delicious. The garlic bread that came with it, while greasy, was scrumdiddlyumptious!

Over all, I wouldn't come to dine in again, because the location was shoddy, the restaurant was too small and noisy, and the food took about 25 minutes to come out. However, I would definitely consider ordering take-out next time I want Italian food.

Amazing pizza each and every time. The workers here don't seem to like their job and the supervisor is really unprofessional, joking around in Spanish with his employees. Other than that, the food is always consistent and yummy, and this is my preferred location. :)

Got the $10 pizza box via online ordering and everything went smoothly! The pizza was delicious and the price was great. The only thing I dislike about this location is its super-tight space and its location. The area is a bit shady and the are inside was way to crowded. At least a place like Little Caesars had a place for people to sit! oh well. haha

The only reason this place has stayed in business is probably because of all the students thinking they've obtained independence now that they're in college and are too good to eat a home-cooked meal anymore. yay junk food, right? The servers, like other BK's I've tried, do not put customer service first. I saw two cashiers taking orders, then suddenly one of them sprinted out and came back 15 min later with pizza. This left the other slow, middle-aged cashier to take orders.

The orders took so long to come out.. The chicken sandwich was crap (carpety and dry, like at other locations), and the fries came out cold, but they willingly made fresh fries for us, so that was a plus. Another plus was their mango/pineapple smoothie, which was pretty good. Over all, I won't come back here again, not that I'm in the area that often anyway.

This was an okay place. The cashiers take their time and keep customers waiting there awkwardly, but they're nice when they finally decide to take your order, Getting anything with chicken at Burger King is not worth it. I wanted to use a coupon where you can buy chicken tenders and get a free drink and fries. 5 pieces chicken tenders would've been $5! Not worth it at all. I ended up ordering a chicken sandwich, the texture of which was carpety and dry. yuck! Also, the coffee cup size really is small, unlike the larger "small" cup sizes at McD's or Wendy's. I'm better off going to those other places! I also thought the placement of this Burger King was awkward.. surrounded by Korean stores? BK was really out of place!

Bad location for such an event (just one block). At least with other Asian events or food events, they're at a huge park or the Santa Anita Racetrack. Parking around here was terrible and people who didn't know of the event were pissed off :(  I knew it would be bad, so I parked early on at Cordova and walked through the small blocks to get there. But when we got there, it was crowded as heck, with everybody pushing each other like they do in China. We couldn't even enjoy the experience or look at any of the booths. Bad publicity, bad execution, and bad location! All we could do is walk through the thing once and back, with nothing. Waste of time. We just went to Burger King afterward. If they move this kind of event to Arcadia, it would have been better. It's too bad. It had potential!

My friend recommended this location to me since I was afraid of going to the crowded Rowland Heights one. I came here on a Sunday for lunch and I loved it! The ambiance is really unique and rainforest-y. It was a welcoming and calm atmosphere. :)

The foods we got were:
-Boba Green Milk Tea
-Popcorn Chicken over rice
-Coconut Brick Toast with ice cream ($2 extra for ice cream)

The boba quality was impressive, and a large size really is large! The quality of food exceeded my expectations of food from a tea house. All this food was filling, and the dessert, though overly sweet, was amazing. Can't wait to come back to try the shaved ice!

Service is okay. Everyone here looks so depressed working here. The only cheerful person is the manager walking around haha.

Anyway, we got the 2 for $20 deal. The dishes we got were the Blackened Chicken Penne and the Bourbon Street Chicken and Shrimp. They both used the same grilled chicken (maybe from the same batch) and the same garlic paste, but both dishes were delicious! For the appetizer, we got the boneless wings. It was spicy but the celery sticks they come with neutralize all the delicious flavor.

I got a pretty good impression of this place and I will come again!
