Xi Guan Noodle House - Rosemead

We were tempted to try this place since everything on the menu is cheap honestly who would turn down cheap and good food? The problem we had was that the food was below average. I literally tasted the MSG in the rice noodle soup I was so thirsty afterward and that noodle tasted like the instant one, which is dry and chewy. The curry fish ball $8 was terrible. The texture was off and calling that watery brown liquid “curry” should be illegal. I guess the beef udon was better considering the large pieces of beef they give you.We came on a weekday and only saw one cook. There was no line before or after we ordered but our takeout still took more than 30min. Even for the cheap price I don’t think it’s worth coming back.

This little hole in the wall food stand is located in the food court in the GW Market building. I've been here 3 times already, and everything that I've tried so far has been delicious. This cook is showing some pretty impressive cooking skills.Dishes that I've ordered, scrambled eggs with beef over rice; beef chow fun; Chinese sausage fried rice and deep fried garlic spare rib pieces. All great tasting and fairly large portions. The only negative thing's about this place is that the food comes out a little slow, and the dining area for the food court is a little dirty, but to combat these minor problems, place your order, then go do your grocery shopping at the GW, then pick up Togo and eat in your car or home.This place makes me want to go grocery shopping with my wife every week.

Located in a food court, this place was pretty good. I tried out the pork preserved egg porridge and it was definitely one of the best porridges I've had. They throw in some sesame oil on top which really gives it a nice slight nutty flavor. Super hot and soothing for the soul. Also got the beef and wonton noodle soup and it was pretty good as well. The beef was tender and wontons filling were juicy. Pretty standard bowl of soup but delicious. The prices here are certainly reasonable and on the lower end but it is cash only.

The preserved egg and pork porridge was amazing! Love the flavor and the brisket beef wonton noodles was good, but could be better.

Background On Visit: When one shop is closed, the next shop is open. Wanted to go to Harlam Kitchen for their wonton noodle, but it was closed due to the observation of Lunar New Year. After scouring through different food options in the food court, I decided to get my wonton cravings satisfied here instead.Credit Cards: They're not accepted. Cash is king!Location/Parking: Located inside the GW SuperMarket Building in the food court. Parking can be found in the shared parking lot in the Square Plaza.Ambiance/Decor: No ambiance here. Order and go, but you can eat at the the metal furnishings that is provide by the food court if you want eat on location.Service: Service was decent. Food took a while to come out, but that's alright. Looked like they were short staffed.Food Of Choice:1) Brisket Wonton Noodle Soup: Loved everything about this noodle soup. Decent size wontons. Some veggies to devour. Beef brisket that was tender. Noods that were the right texture. Lastly, the soup base was flavorful.Xi Guan For Thought: I'll probably come back. I believe I found my new favorite place for wonton noodle soup.
