How fitting that showdown #4 is about a restaurant named ‘Four Seas’ in Chinese. This place is not to be confused with the restaurant of a similar name in Hacienda Heights. When I arrived at Si Hai around 11am, I was hoping that the breakfast rush would be over, but the line that went [...]

Okay folks, repeat after me: Rowland Heights. As in ROH-land Heights. That is the proper way to pronounce the city right off of the Fullerton exit on the 60. Now that that’s out of the way, how about some noodles?
