Auntie Kitchen

Review is based on my breakfast only… I was so excited to come and try the Hong Kong style breakfast.. since after coming back from Hong Kong and taste the authentic version … seafood porridge was ok and do was the pineapple bun. Mediocre what really disappointed was their beef rice roll and pork beef roll.. it was so bad.. the rice roll was worst ever! You would think k they serve dim sum, this classic dim sum dish would be good… the rice roll was not smooth like in regular dim sum restaurants.. even my own home cook was better than this!!! And the wonton was horrible.. does not have the dry fish inside .. it was bland and the wrapper was just as bad.. I normally don’t like to post negative reviews but this one really wasted my time and money.. I have not try their main dishes or their deli.. but after this experiment, I don’t dare..

I expected better, upon reading peoples review. I found everything tasteless for cantonese cooking. They charge me by the pound on my roast pig rather than dinner menu price as posted. Only one item that was tasty was the beef chow fun but it missed the key ingredient the beef, “where’s the beef” . You can literaly count the beef pieces. The portions are better than most places.

We came here for dinner and had such a satisfying experience that I had to leave a 5-star review! We ordered a live whole fish, prepared two ways — one half steamed, the other used for soup. 🐟 The steamed fish was perfectly cooked — tender, fresh, and flavorful without any fishy smell. You could really taste the natural sweetness of the fish. 🍲 The fish soup was surprisingly light and clean — no MSG flavor at all, just a nice, comforting broth that really hit the spot. We also ordered their signature “House Special Stir-Fry” — packed with crisp taro strips, Chinese sausage, bean sprouts, and green beans. The texture was amazing and every bite had great wok hei flavor. 🍍 To finish, we added the Sweet & Sour Pork, served beautifully in a pineapple boat. The sauce was well balanced — not too sweet, not too sour — and the pineapple was super fresh and juicy (not the canned stuff!). The dish was colorful and full of flavor. 💁‍♂️ Service was friendly and relaxed. We didn’t feel rushed at all, and the portions were generous for the price. ✨ Overall: A hidden gem for authentic Cantonese food — we’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes soon!

Good Cantonese food, we had Peking ribs, Mongolian beef and bitter melon with beef. Good size portion. Very tasty. They do have Pan fried crispy noodle too but the one waiter said no initially.

do not let the casual exterior of this building fool you - they're serious about food here. came on a Saturday night and it was packed, but they managed to seat us almost immediately! win. we ordered their lobster supreme, roasted duck, and some scrambled eggs with shrimp. rice and soup came with the meal. the lobster? fresh. delicious. chopped for easy eating ( true lobster monsters know how difficult it can be to eat this crustacean when it is improperly prepared! ) duck? delicious and toasty and very flavorful. and the scrambled egg and shrimp is a good, not too salty, meal balancer. very fluffy and soft. the tea they served was also brewed very well, very fragrant and none of the burnt taste. 10/10 would visit again and maybe try some of the other special meals (I gotta come back for the garlic crab) edit: they have a complimentary little mango pudding for us 🥹

Terrific "down home" Cantonese cafe.. Boisterous crowds, babies and children, the place hums with happy eaters. Three-generation families, social groups of senior citizens, and yes even couples, everyone wants great food matched with terrific prices! You will find a breakfast, lunch and dinner menu.. Jonathan Gold would have LOVED this place. It's open 7 days a week, from 7:30am-10pm. It's menu is Hong Kong Cafe style grafted onto COUNTRY-style Cantonese. Don't be in a hurry; each menu item is MADE TO ORDER. The kitchen has 3 chefs going full speed! Check out their offerings online. There's a large parking lot and street parking. It does get crowded, especially on weekends. Don't miss out!

First time to try their set breakfast. Not many choices but definitely good enough. Starting from $12.99 per set with Rice congee of your choice and come with soy sauce fried noodles, 油炸鬼/油條, 腸粉 of your choice of 2. You get what you pay. Price is reasonable. Next time, may try their dinner menu.

Excellent food and service! Ordered salt&pepper chicken wings, salty fish and tofu in pot and pineapple fried rice. They were all really good. The salty fish and tofu pot might not look delicious, but they use real salted fish and tasted exactly like the ones I grew up with in Hong Kong. Price is really good as well. Will definitely come back!

Wow, they now start their breakfast service at 7:30 am. It's really delicious and worth the money!

Large menu to choose from and great value for the money. The waitstaff was so friendly and attentive, we wanted for nothing. Large parking lot, will come back for sure. Went with friends and we all shared and still couldn't finish all our food.

Short summary: Would go back. Food is good and price is reasonable. Love their breakfast combo What I order for breakfast: Beef and Egg porridge Pair with Soy Sauce Noodle and Beef Rice Roll . Coffee and Lemon Tea All these items for $17 something (before tip) for 2 people! In this economy. I think I was very worth it! I enjoyed the noodles a lot. It has "wok hay". It has a nice stir fried taste. The beef rice roll is my next favorite. Porridge got a nice texture not too watery. Sprinkle some white pepper on it just to my liking. It was my mom and I first time here. We like that breakfast started at 7:30am! The owner is friendly too. Will come back ...actually we had such a positive experience during breakfast we came back for a late lunch to try their lunch special. (9:00 am to 5:00) What we ordered for lunch: Black bean Clam Mongolian beef Stir fried pork stomach (?)

Aunties Kitchen is like a really small Cantonese cafe. There's like parking to the left and the right of this place and there's like a parking lot in front of the medical building next door. It's all connected with no fencing. Upon entry, it's a really small place. Has a mom and pop shop vibe for sure. Upon entry there's like a few tables and you can order things like your typical Chinese BBQ items like roast duck, roast pork,etc. I ordered a bbq pork and duck rice. It came with a free soup which was a nice plus. It was slightly cheaper than the competition for everything. The quality of the duck was good. Proper plum sauce was provided. The cha shu was a bit dry and there was no extra sauce for it. It is also very lean. The bok choy was not cleaned well at all. It was bitter and sandy. Just bleh. The free soup... I really wish they had better soup because it was really off putting. It was bitter melon soup. Super bitter, I could only drink half a spoonful. Overall, I think the duck here is fine. Everything else here is mediocre. Would I recommend this place? Only for the duck.

The wonton noodle soup was great, salt pepper chicken wings even better! Beef chow fun delicious! Great service and Manager David is a class act. Highly recommend eating here for great bbq and Cantonese cuisine. 經理 David 係一個好好人同大方嘅人，食物好味，服務亦都好出色，強烈推薦大家嚟呢度食！

Service was good, not crowded at 930am for Cantonese breakfast for $12.99 each set, porridge + 2 sides+ drink Parking was good.

I have come to Auntie Kitchen for dinner before - and the food was delicious but some Dim Sum items and other menu items were not avaliable/sold out. Now my Pops convinced us to come for breakfast special because it is a "great value" he said. He undersold it! Breakfast Specials are $12.99 with a few options to choose from, and Order A with porridge of your choice, two side items of your choice and drink of your choice is an outstanding value. I was highly satisfied with my choices and my family's choices were also tasty (didn't get a chance to take pics before they were devoured, but at least I got one of what was leftover!) Service is prompt and friendly - it really is like going to eat at my auntie's kitchen. Would definitely come back whenever the 'rents want to go out to eat.

This is my neighbors favorite place to go to. Its a small place near San Gabriel Valley hospital. The staffs were super nice and welcoming. The best part was the roasted pork skin was crispy.The lobster and fish that we got were huge! Super flavorful!

I took my family and my son to the park today, and after that we were hungry for lunch. I was looking at various restaurants in the area I had not tried yet, and I noticed that Auntie Kitchen had a mix of Hong Kong cafe style breakfast, Cantonese stir fry specials, congee, and wonton noodles. Given the diverse menu, I decided to come here. I saw the breakfast was available until 12:30 on Yelp, but nowadays it's only available until noon. The restaurant is small, very hole-in-the-wall vibe, but there were still tables large enough for our family of 5. The wait staff were super kind and attentive to all our needs. For being a small hole in the wall, the restaurant was fairly clean. We decided to get a mix of different things. We got two lunch specials, a pork belly and stir fried string beans. We got a wonton and beef tripe noodle soup. We got a side of rice noodle rolls as well. The rice noodle rolls were fairly standard for the area. The lunch specials came with their homemade soup, which was quite tasty and did not have too much MSG as is often the case with restaurants in the area. I loved the string beans which were quite aromatic and flavorful. The pork belly was amazing also. I did not get to try the wonton noodle soup, it was too much food for me. For dessert they had mango pudding with some cream on top. I loved it as did my son. Amazing Cantonese restaurant, I would definitely come back again.

My wife just paid $50 to buy bbq pork belly to go and over half that is under the top layer was burnt ribs and bones.

This is a small Chinese cafe that has breakfast and lunch specials and is also open for dinner Service was pretty friendly and attentive. Not much seating inside and there isn't outdoor seating. Pricing was pretty reasonable ($13+/most dishes) during lunch special and there were 15+ options. Breakfast was $13 and is served 9am-12:30pm. It came with a choice of beverage (tea, coffee, milk tea), 6 different options for porridge, and two choices from a list of 12 items (mainly rice rolls or chow mein/fun). The preserved egg and pork porridge and it was just ok. There wasn't much pork and the egg pieces were pretty small. It didn't taste as flavorful as I was hoping and it was pretty watery. This was 2/5. The chow mein was nothing special. Lots of bean sprouts and not much ingredients. Pretty much just soy sauce mixed with noodles. This was 2/5 The rice roll with beef was very disappointing. It was falling apart when I tried to pick it up and didn't taste good. The texture was not fresh and meat was flavorless. This was 1/5. Most likely won't return or recommend

One of the Cantonese BBQ place famous for its "Char Siu." Flavor wise, I like it as it is not over-sweetened but I am not the big fan for their texture, which calls for more fat. Otherwise, it's more on the lean, dry, and a bit gamey side. The porridge (Congee or "Zhou") is recommended. Services are swift like every other Cantonese restaurant or HK Cafes. The breakfast/brunch combo is such a big bang for the buck. Under $15, you can have 2-3 good size of entrances, plus a free drink like the hot silk-stocking milk tea (Hong Kong style milk tea), "Yuan Yang" (a mix of coffee and milk tea), or Iced lemon black tea. A pretty good deal!

I called to order togo, but they said since I'm only ordering char siu (BBQ Pork), to go in and order in person. This make sense because they cut it into pieces when you order. Pork is missing some flavor inside and the sauce is wet. Usually for me, the char siu should be more flavorful and have a thick sauce. 3 star for good service and soft meat though. Would try again next time, maybe the roasted pork next time. Pricing is very good, ~$13/lb. Mines was 1.3lbs ish. Don't expect to get exactly 1 lbs. it'll either be more or less. I'll come try other dishes next time. Cheap food.

My friend recommend we go to this restaurant to have the BBQ duck which is one of the items we ordered. We didn't have to wait to be seated and within a few minutes the waitress took our order. Besides the duck, we ordered beef broccoli and rice. The duck dish was brought to our table and we consumed it and we waited and waited. We never got the other dishes after we requested the missing items from the waitress. They were busy but other people around us who came after us were receiving their food. The duck was delicious but we got up and left after paying for the BBQ duck meal.

I took my family to try Auntie Kitchen again and it was my second time and their first time. We ordered roasted duck rice ($12.99), BBQ pork with Hainan chicken rice ($13.99), home-style stir-fried vermicelli ($12.99), and a few dim sum dishes such as steamed buns with milk, Har Gow (Shrimp dumplings) and egg tart. My roasted duck rice was not bad with a decent amount of duck meat but the duck skin was not crispy. The BBQ pork with Hainan chicken rice was mediocre. The rice was not oily rice and the BBQ pork was very dry and chewy. The chicken was okay. Home-style stir-fried vermicelli was greasy and it had only a few sliced meat. The taste was not bad. Dim sum dishes were mediocre. Food: 3 out of 5 stars Service: 4 out of 5 stars Price: 4 out of 5 stars Overall it was about 3.5 stars this time. The quality could be better, especially the BBQ pork and the rice. We were a little disappointed. Service was still good and attentive.

Heads up that this restaurant is no longer called Auntie kitchen. It has now been sold and is now called Tai Shan kitchen. There is no more bbq section and the menu is completely different. If you are expecting Aunties Hainan chicken, expect something different. Disappointed to see that my to-go order only comes with a few small pieces of chicken and white rice (instead of chicken rice) After tasting the dish, I am even more disappointed. The chicken was still raw with blood all over the veggies lining underneath. Needless to say I am not coming back.

Besides the fact that you get a little thirsty after the food (so there's def a heavy amount of MSG), this place is delicious and you know it's good when it's only got cantonese families eating here. We got the bbq pork, tung choi with garlic, scallop egg white fried rice, a fish fiilet pot. I would easily order everything again except for the fish fillet pot (mostly because of the amount of bones we had to deal with). Everything had SUCH GOOD WOK HEI and the parking wasn't awful to find which is always much appreciated. By the time we sat down, there was a small line that started forming so we got lucky! Next time, I definitely want to try their sweet and sour pork and salted fish fried rice!!

Good food - good deal - excellent HK barbecue kees me coming back to Auntie Kitchen!! Their rice noodles, jook (rice porridge), HK barbecue items, and dishes are all very good... and at excellent prices!!! Always happy eating here and highly recommended!!!

Food, Chinese bbq is their specialty. Their is better than the big boys. Cantonese/ Guangdong dishes of home cooking and comfort food. Meals come with daily soup and dessert Standard dim sum selection, is very good. Service is friendly and attentive . Ambiance small room with limited seating. Nothing fancy, but simple and down earth. CC, cash speaks volume, free parking. Breakfast Special 9am to 1230pm, Lunch and Dim Sum 11am to 5pm. So order ahead for pick up You can't go wrong with excellent cantonese standards, good portion size, pricing and you are at home feel.

First time trying this place out and I was delighted and happy with the service and the food. The pork belly was delicious as well as the fried rice, eggplant dish and their shumai are huge pieces. The server was excellent in making sure we have everything we need during the time. I definitely recommend this place.

Excellent toisan foods. The stuff that I grew up with. They were nice and even gave us seconds on their yummy dong gwa tong (wintermelon soup). Reasonably priced and they were not stingy with the quantity. Would gladly go again!

We came here for a quick dinner Friday night. The restaurant was not full with a table with customer. We quickly ordered the BBQ rice plate , and roast duck rice plate. The combo came with a soup. The soup was great, tasted like home cooking without any MSG. My BBQ pork was OK, I had better. My boyfriend's roast duck rice was good. I think their signature BBQ is pork belly and roast duck. After dinner, we even had a small mango custard pudding. For $12.99 combo, it's not bad.

On a Saturday afternoon in August, my family wanted to try their lunch specials 12.99. It was quite busy when we got a table. The manager spoke English and Cantonese or Mandarin. We ordered a few lunch specials beef chow fun, sweet sour fried fish, Mongolian beef, sweet sour pork. The dishes came one at a time and beef chow fun was okay. It needed more wok hei and soy sauce. The rest of other dishes-Mongolian beef, sweet sour fish and pork, half duck was fine. We only got one bowl of rice for my brother. The ambiance is fine inside. Soon as we were done, more people came in to eat their lunch specials. Parking on the street.

Friendly staff: 4/5 Fast service: 4/5 Food: 3/5 BBQ Pork: The skin was nice and crispy--great! But the meat was a bit too fatty for our taste. We originally asked for just 1 lb since there were only three of us, but both the owner and staff insisted that the pork was really good and encouraged us to get 1.62 lbs. Unfortunately, it ended up being too much, and we couldn't finish it. The taste was okay, but not as amazing as they hyped it up to be. Roast Duck: The meat was on the dry side--not as soft or tender as we hoped. Also, we only received about half a container of dipping sauce, which didn't feel like enough for a half duck order. Price: For 1.62 lbs of BBQ pork and half a roast duck, the total came to $56. Personally, I found it a bit overpriced The place is tiny but has a cozy, family-style dinner vibe.

little spot that serves a big menu ranging from bbq meats to lobster and your everyday rice and noodle dishes. we ordered beef chow fun, char siu, and a couple other dishes. sadly, the food wasn't up to par, especially the char siu. it was very lean and dry, at least the pieces that were given to us. for an establishment that has bbq meats in their chinese name, it was a sore disappointment. would likely go back just for the convenience.

Came here to try their breakfast special and it was definitely a DEAL! For $12.99, you get to choose your choice of porridge along with two side items that ranges from rice noodles to pan fried noodles to buns. The breakfast special also comes with your drink of choice. If you are in the area, consider giving this place a try!

This was the second time here with my family. It's a small place but it works. The entrance area has small tables and if you go to the other side, they're large tables. They have lunch special but only until a certain time before they switch to the dinner menu. The first time we were there, there was a server who was rude and rushed us to take our order even though we were still asking questions. The server claimed that every dish was made in chicken broth and that he can't change anything. We asked for another server and he helped us. We explained that I'm vegan and certain ingredients will get me very sick. This nice server said that he can make the dishes anyway I want but needs to speak with the kitchen. He later came out with a large piece of paper and wrote down what I couldn't eat and took out my order. Our second time, the same server helped us. He said now he's a manager. Very nice guy. He took our orders patiently. Food came out so delicious. I had the tofu with brown sauce, and rice noodle with black bean gravy sauce made with tofu, veggies, mushrooms. I forgot to take a picture but I had Bok choy with garlic dish as well. Will definitely come back again. Parking lot in the back. There's also street parking. One gender neutral restroom.

5 Stars for Super breakfast value: 3 items for $12.99 (two can share), plus regular menu and BBQ meats that are cheaper than big restaurants. Big portions. Cons: tiny cramped dining room, limited parking, congee could be thicker and more flavorful.

Five stars all the way. I love coming here. Their roasted pork and duck are delicious and the skin is extra crispy. On this particular visit, I ordered a whole soy sauce chicken. The young gentleman working behind the counter is really nice, speaks English and Chinese. The chicken was perfect. The whole chicken costs $23.10. Super reasonable. On a side note, I had their wonton noddles and it's a hard pass. I wasn't a fan.

Restaurants like this is why you go all the way to SGV for Chinese food - certainly worth the trip. I believe they're known for their BBQ so we ordered the roasted duck - which was nice and juicy, you can order it whole or half. They have several variations of roasted pork and our server suggested we try the roasted pork belly (which is the more expensive one) and he promised that it was not fatty but more tender and juicy - and he was right. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender, we were amazed. He also recommended and chose for us a live lobster, which he presented to us before cooking. Crispy Noodles, snow peas leaves and salted fish fried rice were all craveable. Most expensive part of our meal was the lobster (about $100!) and the roasted pork belly (nearly $50) - both are sold by weight. I have to say service was a surprise. Friendly, knowledgeable, accurate in their recommendations, attentive to our needs and courteous..... these are not traits you expect from a small Chinese restaurant. The place itself is small and basic - 2 rooms wherein you pass the kitchen to go from one room to another. Theres a parking lot on the side.

Solid budget-friendly Cantonese spot with friendly service. I ordered takeout for breakfast and did the $12.99 special which comes with your choice of congee and 2 items (I chose seafood congee, steamed rice roll and chow mein, plus drink (milk tea) which were all good. They also have some dim sum items and typical barbecue items of duck and pork. I don't eat meat, except fish, so can't comment on those items.

Came here because of a YouTube video I watched and thought that it doesn't hurt to have a go to place in this part of the SGV. First off, make sure you don't park at the Medical building next door as there are signs that they will tow. Luckily, it was a Saturday and the medical building was already closed. The restaurant is small and tight. When I walked in, there were only 6 tables available. Luckily, one was available. The place is super tight and you can see bbq items right there. They have traditional Hong Kong style food. There is another menu with lunch specials on it. And there's another menu for dim sum items. I think we waited a good 5 minutes or so before the food started trickling in. The wonton noodle soup was not bad. I do think that the wonton and the soup was a little on the bland side. I also noticed that there was no salt/pepper or soy sauce on the table. The wonton could have used a little more seasoning and sesame oil. It wasn't bad though. My mom had the tripe noodle soup. I didn't try the soup, but it looks to be the same as the wonton. The tripe, however, was bland and chewy. It is not like the ones you get from dim sum. I also tried the braised pork ribs from the dim sum menu and that was also bland and a little tough. So I made the conclusion that I wouldn't come here for their dim sum as it's not as flavorful. The seafood chow fun was pretty good though. It had wok hay and the sauce was flavorful. The roast pork belly was crispy and seasoned well. Their seafood porridge was also good, but did need a little bit of soy sauce to liven it up a bit. When we were almost done, we noticed that there was another dining room just past the deli area. So if there are no table available in front, keep going and take a left to the other room. That side seems to be roomier.

first timer, wanted to like it, but got food poisoned. Hadn't eaten anything today, except for here at Auntie Kitchen 1pm. Ate Roast Pork w Tofu. I noticed a rancid taste in the roast pork, like it was very old stale meat, I only ate 3 pieces and hoped I'd not get sick. I ate the tofu instead, it tasted okay without any problems. I was right about the pork, i got home 3pm, and felt sweaty, nauseous with gurgling intestines and had bad diarrhea. sorry, it's gross, but true. it's 10pm now, 7 hrs later and I'm still feeling ill. Sorry to give truthful bad review this is a small business, but please mind your cooks for not serving past their use by dates meat. I didn't say anything at the restaurant because i know from experience complaining at chinese restaurant can be very confrontational and I didn't want to be embarassed or stressed out, but mgt needs to know what's going on. On the bright side, The owner was nice, having lunch at next table and manager very nice, went around greeting everyone at their tables.

Got here around 11:30 on a Sunday and got seated right away. Really surprised that the breakfast menu is served until 12:30pm! We ordered a breakfast set, which comes with a congee of your choice, a drink, and two sides. Love the variety that they offer and the number of combinations possible. The pork bone and dried Chinese cabbage congee is so good - very flavorful but not salty and there's a very decent amount of meat in there as well. We ordered the pineapple bun and rice noodle roll with beef as sides and both are authentic! We also ordered the BBQ duck and cha siu and I think pretty much all the tables ordered something from the BBQ stand. The outer skin is very crispy and meat is tender - do I need to say more! The Cantonese style soup that we ordered is also super authentic and amazing! There are plenty of parking at the back! Overall highly recommend this place - definitely check it out if you are in the area!

We decided to come out and try this place. It's been around for a year. The food came out quickly but we were the only people dining in. There were lots of take out orders. The sweet and sour looked better, I personally needed more vinegar like taste and sweet the pork was on the leaner side good and bad. The string beans was good but not alot of garlic taste. The salted fish and chicken fried rice was good some salted fish but as much I would have liked. Definitely would come back to tr try the roast pork

Love their lunch specials. I didn't get any pictures but I have eaten here a few times. Overall very good. Their pork fried rice is 10/10. I love their BBQ pork wonton soup. Pineapple chicken fried rice also very good! Service is fast and efficient. Small inside with a couple tables. Sometimes can get packed.

Only been here for the Hong Kong style breakfast and already had a great experience. The food was authentic and great price for the amount you get! Choose a porridge, TWO sides, and a drink with unlimited refills. I always have leftovers to bring home. Service is great- very attentive and it literally feels like being at an "Auntie's" home. Pay attention to parking signs- the lots are reserved for the nearby medical buildings.

We each ordered the two item bbq combo. My friends and I arrived early last night: around 5pm to beat the rush. I ordered the bbq pork and the roasted pork. Both were moist. The roasted pork skin was crispy and came with a dipping sauce. Comes with a light flavorful soup, vegetables and noodles. The chili sauce is also good. I enjoyed the embience. I look forward to trying their roasted pork belly next time.

A small restaurant with only a few tables. Come here between 9am-12:30pm for their breakfast specials cus it is a steal! It's $12.99 and you get to choose a porridge and then two additional items along with coffee, milk tea, hot tea, or lemon tea. Their rice noodle rolls doesn't look appetizing but it was actually very good. I ordered the rice noodle roll with beef and rice noodle roll with cilantro and green onion and I mixed them together. Delicious!!!! Their roast duck was just ok. Maybe it's because they gave the bad pieces and it was dry, meatless and boney.

Nothing but amazing things to say about both the service and food! Unlikely at Chinese restaurants and we all know that hehe.. From the rich decadent roast pork to the savory egg tofu.. the lunch specials and daily deals are unfathomable during these economic times. Egg tofu and mushrooms ($13.99), eggplant in garlic sauce (12.99), dry beef chow fun (13.99), clams in basil (13.99). Unlike other Chinese bbq meat spots, they offer a lean roasted crispy pork for $12.99 a pound and a more fatty juicier version for few dollars more a pound. I will definitely be returning again as the portion sizes were big enough to feed a family of 4!

Checked out this place by the recommendation of a friend. She was right, the food was flavorful and the prices are unbeatable! Can't get better than this! We ordered stuffs that aren't in the menu. There's a special menu on the wall in Chinese. We asked the server for recommendations, and he recommended the sweet and sour pork made with real pineapples, and sea bass claypot, which were super flavorful. We also ordered 5 spice duck and seasonal veggies(on choy with bean curds). The place is small but they hired a lot of workers. Nothing fancy in ambience, more like a hole in the wall but it's clean. The service is beyond awesome if u consider it a hole in the wall.

Good food and really good fast service! The restaurant is also cute! I really enjoyed the dumplings! The curry pan thing was also really good!

Still one of the best Cantonese restaurants in SG Valley. The quality and taste of their dishes remain consistent. There is a deli area inside where one can buy char shiu, roast pork and such. I love that the food is not greasy. My new favorites are the egg tofu mushroom and beef chow fun which has the wok hei taste! A huge shout out to the gentleman (manager?), the same one I mentioned in my prior review. He is always working hard to provide exceptional service. He is never without a smile. Tonight I stopped to order takeout. While waiting for my order, he brought me a hot cup of tea. It had been a tough day and the kindness this gentleman showed meant the world to me. Thank you. :)

A lack luster new Cantonese place that was greatly hyped. They were very busy, which may account for the lack of flavor and attention. We came here due to it being hyped on the Sgv food group on Facebook. My friends need to be discerning when it comes to social media, but the trend is to try everything and say, "been there, done that!" We ordered a bunch of the usual classics, and none stood out. We had left overs, on the lobster, a true sign that it was not appealing. Usually, the lobster dish goes very fast!

I dined at Auntie Kitchen last Thursday evening and I'm already looking forward to coming back. This location opened less than 3 weeks ago and the prices are great, large portions too. I ordered Sautéed Egg Tofu with Mixed Mushrooms (#21) and they definitely didn't skimp on the mushrooms. In fact, there were many varieties of mushrooms. The sauce used wasn't overly drenched nor too sweet. This would've paired well with plain rice. I also had a few bites of duck & chicken over noodles, the meats were tasty and tender. I loved the veggie chow fun as it wasn't overly greasy. The portion was enormous and I ended up eating this dish for days. Most people know not to critique service at Chinese restaurants as many are just barely mediocre. Auntie Kitchen surprisingly had excellent service. When dining in, complimentary oranges are included. These oranges were some of the best I've had in awhile. Unclear if there's a dedicated parking lot as I just parked on Las Tunas Dr. and this restaurant is a stand-alone so patrons are probably intentional when visiting. #13/2022

Quick and easy food to get for lunch. The walnut shrimp is perfect the amount is just right. Just wished it came with a side on white rice. The soup was very good a little different I never had it with lettuce first time I had it like this but it was very good. Staff super nice and location is very cute and nice.

I ordered a few things to go, since review was good, when I got the good, I was a little disappointed. First, the bbq pork I asked for was the shoulder area, it's more tender and juicier with good fat to lean meat ratio. When I ask for the shoulder location, they said it was $18.50/lb versus $12.99/lb. It was actually started on the menu in the restaurant. Anyways, I paid the premium, when I taste the bbq pork, the skin was tough and chewy instead of crispy. However, the flavor of the pork was great because it wasn't tasty like many other places; also, it was very juicy and not dry. Move on to the chicken. Most Hainan chicken I had in the past comes with some sort of peanuts and/or pickled daikon and carrots on the side. This one did not. As for flavor, it was on the blend side, not much flavoring and didn't come with any sauce to make it taste better. Luckily, I only asked for about half pound, but as usual, they always give you more than what you ask for in a Chinese BBQ place. Cha siu has very good flavor with great balance of saltiness and sweetness, but it was on the dry side because the cut was too lean. To be fair, sometimes, takeout doesn't not taste as good as having it fresh like dining in.

Updated review as of May 2023: The lack of consistency in food makes me lean towards a lower rating but what redeems this place is the affordable and reasonable price point. To be honest, there are better Cantonese style restaurants you can go to. A lot of the items are either a hit or miss, but overall the quality does match the lower price point you pay and the portions aren't bad in size. What they do best in is the BBQ items. I think that's worth coming back. They do a good job with the roast duck and the roast pork has a nice crispy skin. The pork could use a bit more salt. Other notable items: + XO scallops: Good price point and flavorful. They gave plenty of scallops. + French style filet mignon: The beef is pretty tender. They don't put a ton of black pepper, which is ok with me. Good portion. + House special stir fry: An interesting mix of seasonal veggies with dried fish and Chinese sausage. It's pretty flavorful and unique, so ok to try. The one letdown I had was with their duck noodle. It lacked any sort of wok breath and was pretty unflavorful.

A Hong Kong-style deli and cafe delivers some familiar dishes in a growing return of good Cantonese-style cooking and flavors. With a brunch special, this intimate menu includes favorite staples of congee, rice noodle rolls, and noodle dishes along with a sweet bun that many Cantonese folks love for breakfast. Paired with a milk tea can be an excellent start for the day. What shines at Auntie Kitchen is the Cantonese BBQ. From the Roast Duck to the Roast Pork there is competition in the SGV, but here there is a step above the rest. On the menu, there is also a clear difference for ordering when it comes to which part of the whole roast hog you may prefer. And for Roast Duck, there is an option for the famous Peking Style Duck which focuses on the beloved crispy skin. Many other standard dishes of noodles, stir frys, and vegetables will be similar to many other Cantonese items. These here are well-portioned slightly above average. At Auntie Kitchen there is a good sense of value. The dining room is small, but the staff is attentive and caring.
