Good Alley
RosemeadA modern Chinese restaurant in Rosemead known for its soup dumplings. The Kurobuta pork and truffle soup dumplings and the organic chicken ones arrive piping hot with wrappers that hold, and the soup to meat ratio is right. The Xi'an cold noodles and the A5 Wagyu Chinese burger round out a menu that is strong across the board.
Thumbling
West CovinaThumbling in West Covina focuses on high-quality dumplings and noodles. The shrimp fried rice stands out, but you can't skip the dumplings, they're plump and perfectly seasoned. Service runs fast and there's usually a wait on weekends, but once you sit down, the food arrives just as quickly.
