Best Authentic Restaurants in Puente Hills

Fantastic cuisine. Portions are crafted for sharing. I recommend 2 entrees for 3 people to share. Generous portions! We’ll be back!

As always, we were greeted warmly, we were quickly seated in a (requested) booth. We usually start with the amazing rice balls, (I can’t spell or pronounce the word). My dining partner, who loves scallops, very much enjoyed the delicious risotto that comes with the scallops. I ordered a new dish, for me, I had the appetizer of clams and mussels. I’m sure I didn’t carefully read the menu, and was surprised to find that the dish was very tomato forward. I prefer lighter sauces. I ate the clams and mussels and left an almost full dish of tomato. I didn’t send it back because I thought it was my error in ordering. They have been very accommodating in the past when there had been a concern about an order. The servers are friendly and pleasant and appear to enjoy working there. Last night, our service was less attentive, I think it may have been because we were in a corner booth and maybe more difficult to observe. I think it was an “one off” because service is usually on point. This remains one of our favorite restaurants!

My daughter and I went to the restaurant to celebrate her engagement after buying her wedding dress. Everything was wonderful. She loved the food and really enjoyed the bar of salads and specialties. The waiter was so nice and offered as a free dessert in honor of her engagement and wrote congratulations on the plate. It was just beautiful.

Good food. Service was bit slow but they were busy. Noticed employee drying dishes with towel at front area which did not bode well with ambience. Otherwise we were happy with food and service.

Great Thanksgiving dinner experience with our family. Service was great, food was good. We had a private table for our party of seven.
