California Hot Pot - Rosemead

I cannot rave about this place enough! It is the epitome of the phrase don 't judge a book by its cover . This place is humbly settled in a food court inside of a supermarket. Although it might not look much on the outside, and can be easy overlooked in such a crowded and busy place, it is able to create an ordinary meal into an extraordinary one! Tasty Food offers the best Hainan Chicken I have ever had in my life! GOODS: -Amazing customer service! Not only is their food good, but their staff is so kind, friendly, and always willing to help no matter the request. -Two words: HAINAN CHICKEN. -Their Hainan Chicken is the biggest bang for your buck! Per order, they pack you a heaping spoonful of flavorful rice, pickled veggies for sides, and an insane amount of delicious juicy and tender boiled chicken. It comes with great sauces too! -Quick service; they run similar to a to-go place where you order at the cashier, and they call your number when your order is ready for pick up NOT-SO-GOODS: -In general, seating can be a difficult especially for large groups because it is located in a food court where they have to share a common space and seating -PRO TIP: Hold on to your chairs; if you 're saving seats and it 's empty, someone will most likely grab if from under you; no mercy -It can get hectic and loud because the other food stalls are also calling out orders for pick up -Because their Hainan Chicken dish is so popular, they run out quick! Sometimes, they run out before noon! EVERYONE PLEASE GO TRY THIS PLACE! Don 't let outwardly appearances fool you. You 're missing out if you don 't give it a chance. I would eat this dish every day if I could.

NOTE: The previous Hainan Chicken place has been replaced by California Hot Pot. Don’t be confused by its location in the food court. They have the same menu as the Alhambra location (without the hour long wait!! . The only difference is they give you sparkling water as a drink with your hot pot and you can purchase bottled drinks too.

Food is fresh and delicious! Prices are fair for most items and the food is delivered to your table in a reasonable time.
