Ho'ike 2026

Before

0.4 mi · 8 min walk - San Gabriel

The Las Tunas branch of the tea house that started in San Gabriel in 2008 and is the reason honey boba spread across the valley. The tea is brewed in small batches and the boba arrives sitting in honey at the bottom of the cup. There is a short food menu of noodle soups, rice plates and fried snacks, plus shaved ice and soy pudding. Closed Tuesdays and it shuts at half three on Sunday.

After

short ride recommended · 6 min - Alhambra

The original location, on the corner of Valley and Garfield since 1951, with the neon sign and a walk-up window. Order the world famous pastrami dip and expect a pile of meat that needs two hands and a stack of napkins. Chili cheese fries come in a portion sized for a table. It is open until one in the morning every night of the week.
