Sichuan Impression
Sichuan cooking on Main Street in Alhambra, with a broad menu that makes it easy to build a meal to share. Start with the tea-smoked pork ribs, then add Ma-po Tofu, cumin lamb, or fish in chili sauce. A good option for a family meal, with a smaller dining area that may make larger parties harder to accommodate.

Yang’s Kitchen
AlhambraYang's Kitchen in Alhambra is one of the more interesting spots in SGV, a modern Chinese restaurant that leans into local ingredients and seasonal menus. Strong for date nights, the brunch is popular and worth a visit, and dinner has enough range to impress. It's not your grandma's Chinese food, which is kind of the point.
