Discover a chic spot in San Gabriel where modern Chinese cuisine meets vibrant atmosphere, featuring a patio and standout dishes like spicy grilled squid.
"Our Favorite Dishes: Million Layer Pancake, Shanghai Style Noodles, Crab “Pao” In the same strip mall as Mian is Jin Jiang, or what everyone actually calls it, J&J. They’ve been in the same spot for nearly 30 years, and it’s the kind of place where you’ll walk in to see your server cracking crabs at a table in the corner. In other words, it’s glorious. The dumplings and noodles are the things to eat here, especially the thick, soy-sauce covered (but still light) Shanghai Style Noodles." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox, brett keating
"The strip mall is also home to prominent restaurant Chang’An." - Farley Elliott
"Head to San Gabriel for a heavy-hitting $20 lunch. Diners choose a single dish from each of the four categories: appetizers, main course, grilled skewers, and rice. Dig into a half dozen wings, sweet and sour shrimp, and a lamb shoulder skewer." - Cathy Chaplin
"Although there aren’t many dineLA options in the SGV, at least the one at Chang’an is pretty exceptional. That’s thanks to a $39 steal that includes five dishes from a selection of some of the restaurant most popular items. Think tenderloin cubes, wei-jiao tofu, and lamb shoulder skewers." - Crystal Coser
