The Best Restaurants In The San Gabriel Valley - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Big family meals in the SGV often revolve around group dim sum trips and fighting with your cousins over the last piece of house special lobster. For a change of pace, head to Dolan’s. This excellent halal spot in Alhambra is one of the few restaurants in the region that specializes in Uyghur cuisine, a Muslim ethnic group from China’s far western province of Xinjiang. Dinners involve sipping sweet cardamom-involved tea, tearing apart flaky naan stuffed with beef and lamb, and passing platters of fiery big plate chicken mixed with thick, hand-pulled noodles. When the menu says “big plate”, believe it. Even the small portion will feed you and several cousins." - cathy park, sylvio martins, brant cox, andrew ryce
