Nature Express - San Gabriel

Absolutely love the menu here, apparently it's a classic hole in wall establishment with over 30 years history. Really authentic Cantonese food, the type of food mom and grandmom would cook, very good home-cooked comfort foods. And some really nice clay pop dishes are excellent too (like frog legs lol). 5 stars!

Saw this place on yelp and it was very authentic and yummy. Small spot, hole in the wall. Was impressed by their authenticity.

My favorite place to go to for clay pot rice! Spare ribs clay pot is my go-to. The chicken wings are good too. Very crispy.

This place gets packed really quickly so if you miss the 11:30 opening time it's hard to get a seat. Restaurant is small, only like 7-8 tables. You would have to wait 1-2 hours if you arrive around 12 pm. Saw so many yelpers leaving great reviews, I just had to come and try it myself! I was feeling tired this whole week because of jet-lag so I was feeling something hot and soupy. The herbal soup was perfect for the situation. Ordered the ginseng with black chicken soup, spare ribs and Chinese sausage casserole, water spinach, and for dessert got the steamed egg with ginger sauce and taro sago . Let's just say I was stuffed but a happy camper. I would definitely come here again !

The service in this restaurant was horrible the old lady asked if we wanted the clay pot rice and I said yes very clearly and later when we ordered our food she asked us again if we wanted the clay pot rice and what flavor we wanted for the rice as if she never asked us the question, she had also asked another customer if they wanted the clay pot rice too. She didn’t even pay attention to what I had said to her, she had just ignored me. Another complaint is that she ignored the customers that are outside and told us to wait but let two other old customers that she knew in to eat first, like what kind of service is that? Serving the old customers first that just came and ignoring the customers who had waited outside for at least 15 minutes already. Such a disappointment for this restaurant.
