Xiang La Hui - Alhambra

I have lived here for many years, and I pass by it every day, but I have never eaten here. My friends all said it was delicious, and my parents also said it was pretty good. Today I came to try it with my parents. The fish-flavored eggplant? is really delicious. Very authentic taste.

Came on Tuesday around 7 pm, The street parking was all taken, had to parked at the back of the restaurant, which could only hold about 6 cars. Wish they had a bigger parking lot.We ordered the Kung Fu boiled fish, Wok-Fried Kidney, and cabbage. The portion was generous. We almost finished the first two and had 1/2 left of the cabbage.The Kung Fu boiled fish is supposed to be a typical Sichuan-style food. But it was about the average and tasted like using pre-mixed pasted to make the broth. I know you are not supposed to drink the broth with that dish, but it affects the fish flavor. At least the fish filet was fresh and not overcooked.The wok-fried kidney is not a regular dish I order for it requires some wok and seasoning skills to remove the distinctive taste of the pork kidney with a good texture. I was surprised that they did a good job: They were freshly tender. Happy that they were smooth without the thick layer of starch-coating. The spicy flavor was well blended with the kidney and peppers.My favorite was the cabbage. The one with the least expectation. If it was not served the last, I might finish it. The wok preserved the natural sweetness of the cabbage, less spicy than the other two dishes. (I’ll say mild level ?️ . I wish they could make it spicier though. Texture-wise, the cabbage was fully cooked but still had the crunchy freshness. Love it!Sorry to say, but the service was less exciting than the food. You order by scanning the QR code on the table. The menu is in both English and Chinese. Parking is limited, but the inside is bigger. Average level of noise.I would definitely come back to try their noodles and dry-pot series.

I was speechless the first time eating here, this is the most delicious and authentic food I think I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Dan Dan noodle if you can handle the heat, and steamed spare rib. You’ll be dreaming of the sweet potatoes for days!

Ordered: cold spicy chicken spicy lamb fish vegetable dishThe fish dish was around 45 and if you were to add additional items like lotus roots, potatoes, etc they were additional 5/6 each. The flavor was a 9/10 but it would have been worth the if they actually used live fish to cook. It was deep fried fish that didn’t have much meat hidden under a pile of vegetables. Would return to try other dishes.

2022/12 I have been here and it’s really delicious but today I visit here and it change a lot..
