I originally just came for a simple meal--but with the first bite, it instantly unlocked a flood of memories. That familiar taste of Beijing came rushing back... just like the food my mom used to make when I was a kid.
This Northern Chinese restaurant is tucked near San Gabriel Blvd. I won't spoil the name (you know the drill--if you know, you know).
But seriously, it's the perfect spot for a cozy Mother's Day family dinner.
Their Peking Duck was incredible--crispy skin that practically shatters, and even my mom had to compliment it: "Now this is the real deal."
The crispy prawns were aromatic, crunchy, and fresh. My mom usually isn't big on shrimp, but she had several pieces this time. One friend said it tasted just like home--reassuring and nostalgic.
The biggest surprise? The Morel Mushrooms with Baby Cabbage in Milk Broth. Creamy, rich, and deeply umami--delicate yet comforting. My mom said she'd rarely seen this kind of combo, and you could tell it was made with care.
I jotted down a few "comfort dishes" that are perfect for Mother's Day:
* Spicy Pig Ears - mouth-tingling and addictive (Mom said it hit the spot!)
* Warm Mixed Yuba - light, refreshing, and not greasy at all
* Peking Duck, Two Ways - crispy outside, tender inside; a must-order
* Crispy Prawns & Baby Cabbage with Morels - Mom's new favorites
* Wushan Grilled Fish (Double Peppers) - fragrant, spicy, and perfect with rice
* Blistered Green Peppers (Tiger Skin Style) - Mom nodded in approval with every bite
The whole place feels real--no flashy presentation, just solid, honest cooking that tastes like home.
Perfect for bringing the whole family together for a warm, festive meal this Mother's Day.
Affordable prices, cozy vibes--it's the kind of place you'll want to bring your parents back to, again and again.
With Mother's Day coming up, why not treat Mom to a taste of "home"?
