Rice Wok Inc at 11916 Garvey Avenue, El Monte, California.

So fast at taking my order, the food is warm and delicious and the tables and floors are always clean.

It was getting a little late for dinner and we were trying to figure out how to feed ourselves, so I booked a 1000 point Opentable reservation at 9pm here. I have passed by Bella many times, but didn't know what to expect. Except for the sign written in cursive, the exterior reveals very little about what lies inside. It was pretty dark inside, but I could still make out a large picturesque painting of a dock. There is also small bar against the back with a wrought-iron Bella sign above it. Now I know what the term 'neighborhood gem' means. Who'd have thunk there would be an awesome little Italian restaurant across the street from a Burger King?
