Lovely place with tasty food and prices. *Cash Only.
I appreciate Yelpers, especially when I'm not in a familiar place. Alhambra qualifies. A visit with three hungry teens and myself tried different dumplings and soups here on a recent summer evening. I loved it, and the teens did too (as much as teens might allow themselves to say).
Steamed, pan fried, and boiled were the methods employed on the dumplings. Pork (fried) delish, as well as the chive, pork, egg and shrimp (steamed). Bundled those as Combos with two types of soup: the flavors stewed beef (mild but still tasty), and the mushroom meat sauce (heartier, and with more flavor.) You won't really taste mushroom on this one, and it's not really soup. More of a pasta dish, kinda. Stir it up (including the bok choy, found in both bowls) and distribute. The soup that comes with this one, separately, is a bone broth. Stronger, but simple, and for certain mature tastebuds, hits the spot.
We were pretty darn full splitting the two combos between the four of us. Oh, and we threw in a third style of dumpling, one that squirted when you bite into it. It's one of their newer specialties, I believe. Park in the area, or in the strip mall parking lot. Very very tasty. Very low key and simple inside. Well worth a visit and even worth a bit of a drive, too.
