Why Thirsty - San Gabriel

Why Thirsty is place for me to just come and have a simple and delicious meal. This is not a huge place and I like the atmosphere there. The owner and workers are attentive to our orders. This is my go to restaurant for family meal.

I absolutely loved their food and customer service, fantastic location very close to my home. The cashiers are always friendly. Will visit here again.

Drinks here are not too sweet. The food is great too. The noodles have been getting saltier and saltier, so ask for light seasoning if you go for the dry noodles.

Credit card fee: 4%Beef noodle soup: Noodle texture didn’t hold up on the 20min drive. Broth heavy and rich. Decent but i advise don’t order as takeout, eat it there.

Small Taiwanese restaurant/tea shop located next to grocery outlet and Bhanu Indian restaurant. There are only about seven small tables available so this is not a great place for larger groups. They are known for their fresh teas and Taiwanese food. Service is friendly and pretty quick, and they Chinese/Taiwanese music playing in the background.Food/Drinks: Jasmine Green Tea: I stuck with a plain jasmine green tea with less ice and less sugar. I asked for the less bitter choice between the jasmine green tea and assam black tea, and the server told me the jasmine green tea is less bitter. But I still felt that it was bitter and wasn't a huge fan. I think next time I'll try the Assam black tea. Popcorn chicken: My favorite item we tried. They make it with fresh basil and I really enjoyed eating the crispy basil leaves that came with the chicken. We got spicy level and wasn't that spicy. Came in a good sized portion to share. Basil chicken with lo mein: they called this 3 cup chicken (3 杯雞 but it does not taste like that. If anything, it taste more like a chicken and ginger stirfry with lots of green onions and some basil. But I really enjoyed the lo mein, which is stirfried with a caramelized onion sauce. Slightly sweet and savory. The Railroad pork: the pork chop is made with a garlic and ginger marinade. It is soft soft with a layer of breading, and we got it served over rice. I wasn't a fan of this, despite everyone's raving review, the race was a bit dry, and the pork chop is just standard to me. Comes with corn and veggies. Bringing takeout is easy because they serve you the food in the to go boxes already, so they just give you a lid and you're out the door. I think next time I might try the pork Katsu, braised pork, or beef noodle stew.
