Great China Express combines your traditional Chinese fast food with...Louisiana style fried chicken. Awesome combination. A favorite of mine amongst all the Chinese fast food places for this unique blend.
At El Pescador #2, I had their Empapelado (shrimp, octopus, fish, abalone cooked in steam all sauteeing in a heavy cream and mushroom sauce). It took awhile but well worth the wait.
Pho Mai is the oasis in the desert. The only Vietnamese restaurant for miles in the city of Santa Fe Springs and Whittier. The next closest city for me is Artesia or Cerritos. The pho is standard but its a stand out amidst all the other restaurants in the area.
Hacienda San Isidro Grill is overpriced and the quality is compareable to Tacos Mexico. But since its in the upper crust Whittier area, the prices should not be cheap.
