Greenwood Chinese Food

1212 South Greenwood Ave.,
Montebello, CA 90640



Dirty fast and only if I had no creativity and my options were nil.

Senor Baja

11833 Alondra Blvd,
Norwalk, CA 90650

Best inexpensive fish taco in Norwalk. Battered crispy fish, with cabbage, and creme sauce over two tortillas with condiments of spicy verde and rojo sauces, roasted yellow chili (cry your eyes out hot!) NEVER EVER think Del Taco or Taco Bell for fish taco again!

Fried squid rings with iced coffee, the unusual is the usual at this mom-and-pop Chinese snack place.

Pacific Burgers and Tacos

8019 Stewart & Grey Road,
Downey, CA 90243


We tried this for breakfast, it was so so. I usually discern how good a establishment is by how well they are able to make a machaca. Unimpressed.

For a better breakfast machaca go to Sam's Burger.

Royal Food Express

9125 Imperial Highway,
Downey, CA 90242



I like selection of shrimp at Royal Food Express. Battered shrimp in that greasy sweetened mayo sauce. My ass is getting fat just thinking about it.

Maui Island Grill

11456 Telegraph Rd,
Santa Fe Springs, CA 90679



First and last time I went to this place after I tried the seafood combo.

For a better teriyaki and drive there as quickly as possible: Happy Teriyaki Bowl and Waikiki Hawaiin Grill.

Happy Teriyaki Bowl

1001 W. Beverly Blvd.
Montebello, CA 90640


The best small-mom-and-pop-authentic-Japanese restaurant within Montebello-Whittier-Norwalk area. Hurry, get there before the elderly couple die and this place will be gone forever. These places are such a rarity. The real treasure in the menu is unagi bowl. Grilled teriyaki eel!!! Its a damn shame this place is only open for lunch on the weekdays. No dinners, no weekends.
