Default Chinese restaurant recco in SGV area?

Looking for a good place to eat with $7-$12 a plate prices.

Must have an "A" rated health inspection. Nothing like walking in to find a cockroach legs up under a table.

Used to like Empress Pavillion but I'm not fond of the parking and I think the food quality has gone down.

Is that even possible in the SGV area? The best places have B & C! The A grade places are always empty.

Does Arcadia count as SGV? A few good places there.

Yeah i've been there before and it's "OK" as named. lol Other cafe's that come to mind in that immediate area are Baccali and Savoy.

Then add Maxim Cafe and Garden Cafe in Rowland Heights.

You know what's sad, when they had an A rating, i thought their food was bleh. When it dropped, the quality of the food was much better! Reverse placebo effect?

Keep in mind that an A rating was assigned on the date of inspection. Doesn't guarantee that today is A quality.
