The 17 Best Restaurants In Alhambra - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Jiang Nan Spring is like many banquet-style Chinese restaurants in Alhambra: the portions are big, the round tables can fit a Nissan Rogue-worth of people, and the menu is basically small novel (this one being 100+ dishes long). But within that giant menu are a variety of delicious Shanghainese dishes that set this bright, modern-looking spot apart, like delicately braised meats, tender eggplant stir-fries, and seaweed-battered fried fish. Everything here arrives hot and fast, including delicate, shaoxing-simmered drunken chicken, chewy rice cakes stir-fried with cabbage and pork, and fried Shanghai riblets coated in a sticky-sweet red glaze. The servers here are experts at assembling a balanced meal, so put your trust in them when ordering." - brant cox, sylvio martins
