I did a double take when I drove past several weeks ago, because it looked like it was gone.
Embassy Kitchen gone. Presumably killed by Colette.
Embassy Kitchen quickly replaced by Bund 8.

Love Duck replaces Happy Dunpling (sic) House inside the Alhambra 99 Ranch Market after a very short period.
Diamond Bar’s Chan Kee opens up new branch in Monrovia replacing Deer House.
My favorite restaurant, Spring Shabu Shabu in El Monte is gone. Somebody said the landlord jacked up the rent, which if true is crazy since the shopping center is like 90 percent vacant.

This place is great! Just tried it this week for braised beef noodle soup and it was delicious. Will definitely go back to explore the menu more.

Nope. I am sure he can make coin collecting funny too.
He joked about his mom, family, and the food.
How did you like the food?
Yup! I learned what a countermark was from him

It is spottier than Jian Nan Spring in that I have a had a few “duds” at Wangjia but non at JNS.
Pro tip: Do NOT ask him to show you his coin collection during your meal.

Chef Ni Lunch Box has opened in Alhambra next to The Congee. It offers skewers, boxed chicken, duck, beef and animal parts, seafood items and other goodies which you can take unprepared to go, or have them cook it in the store. Many items sold by the pound. Very interesting concept in that it’s a cross between one of those hotpot ingredient stores and a restaurant. Here’s a shot of their display case.
