"If it’s your first visit, start with the kaya toast and pair it with a hot drink or one of the noodle soups. The menu focuses on the kind of comforting breakfast and cafe dishes that are popular throughout Malaysia. It’s an easy place to slow down, enjoy a simple meal, and try flavors that can be surprisingly hard to find elsewhere in SGV."

Savoy Kitchen
AlhambraSavoy Kitchen in Alhambra is a spot that many locals and visitors to SGV have been coming to for years, mainly for their Hainan chicken rice. It's flavorful and juicy and comes with rice and sauces. There's also pizza, curry, and more there.
Banh Mi My Tho
AlhambraIf you're craving a solid banh mi in SGV, Banh Mi My Tho is a must. There are three locations, we went to the Rosemead spot on Garvey and tried the #1 Special and #4 Grilled Sausage. The baguette is light, extra-crispy, and never dry. The #1 comes packed with four kinds of meat, pate, and pickled veggies, balanced, flavorful, and always hits the spot.

Think pan-fried buns, noodle soups, and more. The food comes out fast, it's reasonably priced, and there's always something delicious to try.
