Hi Folks!

We recently started a new community server for all things SGV / SGV Eats, and we’d love to grow it into a more active place where people from all over the San Gabriel Valley can connect.

The server was founded by SGV locals and natives who wanted a place where people can just… talk about the SGvalley. Food recs, hidden spots, local stuff, random debates about where the best xiao long bao is, complaining about traffic, finding things to do, etc.

🍜 SGV Eats & food recommendations
📍 Local spots, events & happenings
💬 Community discussions & conversations
🙌 Meet other SGV locals
💡 Share recommendations, ideas, and discoveries

We're still a new server, so we're very much building it together; Genuinely open to feedback. If there’s something you think the server needs, channels we should add, things we should change, whatever — let us know. We want this to be something the community actually enjoys using, not just another dead server sitting in your Discord list 💀

No gatekeeping either, everyone is welcome. Whether you’re born and raised SGV, been here forever, just moved here, or you’re simply obsessed with SGV food; you’re welcomed!

Come help us build something for the SGV community. <3

Come say hi / join the server!

Went to Almansor Court in Alhambra for their brunch buffet expecting a normal $50 buffet situation. It is not a normal $50 buffet situation.

The crab legs are all-you-can-eat. The champagne is all-you-can-drink. Both. Included. For fifty bucks.

My strategy, as a man built like a buffet's worst-case scenario: crab legs first while everyone else is being polite about it, prime rib as the break (genuinely juicy, not buffet-leather), then the made-to-order pasta station, because someone cooking your pasta fresh in front of you at a $50 buffet is just showing off.

Full disclosure on the champagne: it's unlimited for a reason. You're not here for the vintage. You're here because crab + bubbles + $50 is math that should not work.

Is it fine dining? No. Is it a 5/5 in the "come hungry, leave happy, unbutton your pants in the car" category? Absolutely.

Crab legs or prime rib first? I need to know if my strategy is elite or just fat.

PS — I review food around the SGV/LA on IG as u/fluffyfoodiemichael. I eat first so you don't waste your calories. Follow along if you want more buffets scouted by a professional fluffy person.
