Cindy's Kitchen - Chinese restaurant in Hacienda Heights - 16409 Colima Rd, USA

Local Restaurant, Budget-Friendly, and Old-School Cuisine It was my last meal in LA for this trip, and Cindy's was our final choice! In brief, Cindy's Kitchen offered delicious food at a budget-friendly price. The portions were generous, especially the Beef Noodle soup – it absolutely must-have. The side dishes were also excellent and served as good time-killers. It seems this place is taken care of by only one friendly Ta-Jie (Big Sister). So food may take a bit longer time than usual.

Uniqueness: 8/10 Experience: 8/10 Value: 9/10 Traditional and authentic Taiwanese cuisine. Wide choices of local street favorites. Everything is so good except room for improvement on the Beef Noodles.

Small local restaurant with some great beef noodle soup and homemade dumplings. Best way to describe the flavors are warm and homey. Super tender and large portions of beef and tendon with bok choy to contrast the dark rich soup and perfectly cooked noodles. Ask for the homemade chili oil and mustard greens to pair everything together.

Holy moly Cindy's Kitchen is sooo tasty!!! I've been here a few times now and their food is absolutely delicious. This is a small and unassuming restaurant in a tiny strip mall in Hacienda Heights, California. You would have never guessed that the food was killer here. Some things I love include: Fried peanuts (available in boxes on the counter) Cold dishes: cooked peanuts, cucumber salad, tofu skin salad, bittermelon Noodles: beef tendon noodle soup or beef tendon dry noodles for summer Protein: stir fry beef dish with cilantro Can't wait to come back soon to try more food!!

Delicious! We got the beef noodle soup and the pork & mushroom over rice. The pork & mushroom was so flavorful and the marinated tofu was exquisite. The pickled mustard was a must with the soup. We also got gizzards and pig ears as appetizers and they were very tasty. Not very spicy but flavorful.

🇹🇼 TAIWAN (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - The beautiful bowl of ground pork and mushroom over rice ($10.95) is a must order, the kind of dish you take a first spoon of and look across the table at your dining partner nodding your head. Both the mushrooms and pork are very finely chopped and spread generously over a pile of fresh white rice, but what sends this over the top is that it is not just lean pork in there. Instead, it is also joined by smoky pork belly, which really puts this version on another level no matter what spices its competitors are using.

Small hole in the wall mom and pop Chinese restaurant. The food was delicious as the beef Noodle soup and spicy garlic eggplant are recommended. The place is very small with only 5 tables and no air conditioning. We were sweating as we ate dinner. They offer frozen dumpling and cold dishes to go. Lots of people come here for take out due to the small restaurant. Service was average. Small parking lot out front. Prices were reasonable and plan to be back to try other stuff when the weather is cooler. The lack of air conditioning is troubling.

It's a fairly small place but the food is excellent and so it fills up fast with diners. I enjoyed the mapo tofu and the salt and pepper shrimp.
