Nice rice noodle restaurant with 10+ selections of cold cut side dishes for you to select from,
Yunnan Garden Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant in Hacienda Heights, California. It has some nice traditional Chinese decoration. The dining room is clean and quiet. The service is acceptable. The 4 Stars is for their Tea Smoke Duck (樟茶鴨). They have the best Tea Smoke Duck in the eastern California region. The skin was crispy and the smoke flavor was just right. I tried the Tea Smoke Duck in several restaurants in Rowland Heights recently and was very disappointed. Their rice noodle was good. Overall, they are better than many average Chinese restaurants nearby. I will certainly come back for their Tea Smoke Duck.
Not a big fan of their rice noodles. Broth is too bland for me. But love their cold dishes! And have to mention they have very reasonable price.

I still really enjoy the food and have tried many new dishes. I knocked out down to four stars because it's annoying that they still use disposable dishware.
Great food. My friends say it's really authentic, too. Famous for their cold dishes (you might literally see a tour bus stopped here) but everything has impressed. I'm big on the ma Po tofu (extra ma for me), boiled fish, and twice cooked pork belly... So far. It's the kind of place that's fun to go to with a group, order the go to's then get a wild card dish.
Clean, authentic decor, pleasant setting, friendly waitresses, spicy authentic Hunan flavors! Mapo tofu, walnut shrimps and Special Seethed Fish to die for ... at a very amazing price and generous portion.
The best Spicy Food Restaurant in Southern California in the Valley rivaling Z&Y in Chinatown San Francisco. Gotta try this, feel really cleansing after dining here! The restaurant interior decor is NOT the usual tacky Chinese, this one is tastefully done however simple though not fancy at all. The outside restaurant front is part of a plaza difficult to enter from freeway 60 exit though parking is plenty and very practical as it is right in front of the restaurant. One can not find this restaurant easily thus remain a hidden jewel. The food is quality, incredibly tasting (with Szechuan super healthy hot peppers) and the waitresses are friendly (yah a much welcomed service:)
My go to Szechuan restaurant. Great if you love spicy food. Cold appetizers are always solid and they have the best boil fish in the area. I'd skip the Spicy Wonton. That's one of their few disappointments. And like ALL good Chinese restaurants, if you go there for the service, then you don't really want good Chinese food.
This is my two-goal place for comfort food, light broth and rice noodles are a great choice.
