Reviews
I found the shrimp to be quite bland. It was mostly sweet with a touch of tartness. There was a bit of a chalky mouthfeel from the batter. Bistro Na’s version of this dish was more enjoyable in my opinion.
The beef was just OK. It wasn’t particularly flavorful and worth the price when comparing to other restaurants that make a similar dish.
My family also ordered a vegetable dish, but it came out at the end after we had finished all of our protein. All of the food came out at very staggered times in general despite a decent amount of the tables being empty at the time. There was definitely more attention dedicated to tables who ordered the Peking duck with the performance.
The duck was honestly a bit lackluster; the flavor was good and the skin was definitely very crispy, but overall the bird was not very fragrant or flavorful.
At the end, we had a complimentary green tea pudding dessert, which was pleasant. I believe it was for the restaurant anniversary special, if I remember correctly.
I have to point out that the overhead lighting kept reflecting against the plates and casting a harsh glare in everyone’s eyes. I’m not sure if this was just the experience my family had at the table we were seated, but it was definitely an annoying thing to deal with.
I don’t think I would eat here again considering the disappointing experience I had with the food coupled with the higher prices.
POV: you ordered the $98 tasting menu for the roast duck… and every dish delivered
Array 36 in San Gabriel is known for their Whole Roasted Duck, but this spread went way beyond. We had Black Truffle Shredded Chicken, Chilled Tofu Skin Salad, Golden Broth Pickled Cabbage Fish Fillet, Clear Soup Beef Short Ribs, Dry-Fried String Beans, Steamed Rice, and a Seasonal Dessert to finish.
The fusion cuisine at Array 36 is truly something special. Each dish showcased a creative blend of traditional Chinese flavors with innovative twists, resulting in a delightful culinary adventure for my taste buds. The presentation of the dishes was also impeccable, adding to the overall dining experience.
I highly recommend trying their iced drunken chicken and their hot and sour fish in golden sauce they were absolute highlights of my meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience.
Overall, I can’t recommend Array 36 highly enough. Whether you’re looking for exceptional service, delicious fusion cuisine, or both, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
The servers were attentive and one was nearly always present. I’m blown away and would highly recommend this place to anyone.
I loved everything that was ordered, but *especially* the tofu skin appetizer, okra appetizer, scallop tartare cones, Peking done — served three ways: skin, smoked & regular, crispy prawns, short rib, noodles, and sautéed green beans.
After parking and going inside, no one greeted me or showed me to a table. During the meal, there was barely any service from the staff; it was basically self-service the whole time.
I ordered the set meal deal, and the Peking duck included was mostly cold. There were only eight thin pancakes and a very small amount of sauce, which was nowhere near enough. Overall, it was a very bad dining experience. I don’t plan to come back, and I wouldn’t recommend ordering the set meal deal here. It almost feels like if you buy a discounted deal, you don’t deserve good service. The experience was completely different from dining here in the evening.
But honestly, from the outside, the building looks a little run down and old. It does not match the inside at all. If you just drive by, you may not expect such a nice restaurant inside.
The Peking duck was excellent. They prepare it with fire, which is very impressive. The skin was crispy, the meat was tender, and the flavor was rich but not heavy. It reminded me of high-end restaurants in mainland. The seafood dishes were also fresh and nicely presented.
Service was polite and attentive.
Overall, beautiful interior, excellent duck, and refined Chinese dishes.
