Restaurants in Alhambra

The cultural mélange that characterizes Spice on Hollywood's menu draws inspiration from across the globe, incorporating familiar American, Mexican, and Italian recipes. Regardless of the dish's origin, the chefs demonstrate a commitment to homestyle flavors by making tomato sauces and pico de gallo salsa in-house. Pizzas can arrive decked with any of 14 available toppings—including barbecued chicken, feta cheese, and basil—and savory mushrooms accompany servings of flame-grilled rib-eye steak. These varied cuisines also influence the eatery's menu of breakfast staples, which features huevos rancheros and black beans alongside belgian waffles with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar.

The intimately sized dining area creates a cozy, café-like ambiance. Chalkboards with daily specials line a wall behind the front counter, pendant lamps gently illuminate dark wooden tables, and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light for diners who prefer to cook their own meals photosynthetically.

Like when the tech world first put a camera into a phone, something many assumed impossible, Chop Stop brings healthiness to speedy dining with more than a dozen signature salads for dine-in or carryout. They also offer custom salads to allow diners to blend a choice of greens with a dressing and up to six toppings from a selection of more than 40. The eatery's commitment to human health dovetails with their responsible practices toward the planet itself, using locally grown produce and compostable bowls and cups that vanish off the face of the Earth in a manner almost as sustainable as bowls made of a magician's ace of clubs

Currywurst owner Kai Loebach draws inspiration from the wurst vendors of his German hometown to spice up local palates with a menu of plump and sizzling sausages. Served with house-made curry ketchup, the restaurant’s succulent namesake features a curry-sliced bockwurst, chicken thüringer, or hungarian sausage wrapped in E.U. customs papers and tucked inside a roll. Uncurried sausages dazzle with their delicious simplicity or dress up in onions, sauerkraut, and one of eight sweet, spicy, or savory sauces.

For nearly a quarter-century, the chefs at Golden China Restaurant have filled bellies with authentic Chinese food, including nine varieties of dim sum. The bite-size snacks vary from sticky rice in lotus leafs to sesame-rice dumplings to barbecue-pork buns. To complement the mini morsels, the lengthy menu includes Chinese food standards, such as orange chicken and kung-pao shrimp. Three gourmet dinners facilitate full-on feasting, each served with tea, cookies, appetizers, and entrees to share with another diner or friendly shadow person. The hearty meals pair with beer and wine, along with sweet treats, such as lychee nuts and coconut tarts.
