松記快餐 Nuoc Mia Vien Dong

A Vietnamese Panda Express-like concept that offers great value for the money. I received a sizable meal for just $10, which was impressive. However, I found the food lacked a bit of flavor. It was nice that they give you a free cup of tea.

I enjoy the food here. It's intensely cultural but tasty. Fell in love with (intact) crispy salted shrimp that gets eaten shells and all. I enjoy the whole eggs in the pork entree. Comes with rice or noodles -and just a warning- the green tea is sweetener free.

Nuoc Mia Vien Dong is the place to go for nuoc mía (sugarcane juice) in the San Gabriel Valley. This food court stall inside the Square Supermarket shopping center is operated by Vietnamese-Chinese who speak Vietnamese, Cantonese, and English. Although the shop serves Vietnamese staples such as pho, bún riêu, and com tam, they are fast-food versions compared to those prepared at sit-down Vietnamese restaurants. The pho broth contained MSG, the bún riêu lacked crab meat/tofu and the tomatoes are too soggy, and since 2011 the com tam no longer includes a piece of cha trung hap (steamed Vietnamese egg meatloaf). The real reason to stop by Nuoc Mia Vien Dong is for their specialty, the nuoc mía. Sugarcanes are fresh pressed on-site and the extracted juice is mixed with kumquat to balance the

Cheap food located inside the food court area inside the Supermarket. This is probably as cheap as you can find for a filling meal. I wouldn't say food is top quality, but you get what you paid for. It's one of those scooping ones where the food is already pre-made.

The food was quite delicious
