Holyda Donut & Chinese Fast Food

My sisters and I are obsessed with their thai tea boba we have tried many places but their bobas here are so soft. Their other blended drinks are awsome also like their cookies n cream. Love this place the ppl are always nice and when we buy a couple of drinks they usually give us a free one to go with our order. And now they have donuts sprinkled with cereal, marshmallows, m&m etc.

You get what you pay for. Not the best milk tea with boba but it’s ok for something quick. Their chicken teriyaki is also ok.

I love this place my first time!!! First of all great customer service, the lady was very nice! I bought an ice blended coffee with Boba soo good! I also had a donut and they r the best in town! Deft going back during my lunch time!!! I recommend this place so if your looking for a good ice blended drink and donuts u know where to go!

OMG! I just left this place and the owner/​lady at front register was completely horrendous! First of all she had the most horrid customer service demeanor and was acting like I was bothering her by telling her that I didn’t want a combo but wanted just 1 item ala cart (which is priced higher).
She then proceeded to swipe my credit card and say oh sorry it’s saying I need your customer number… I ask «ok, what does that mean? It’s a credit card, credit cards don’t have a customer number? Do you mean a PIN number?» She says she doesn’t know in her apathetic voice and attitude and continues to give me my card and says I should call my card company to get it… I tell her «ok» and begin dialing. I finally get to my customer service people on the phone and they start asking «what does she mean by customer number? It’s a credit card» I said I don’t know what she means, she’s not explaining, so I ask the woman if she can swipe the card again or at the very least punch in the number manually. She does so and says «it says it needs your customer number» «why don’t you pull money out or try it at 7-​eleven?» I said can you let me see what the machine says? And she has this look on her face like I just told her that the food was disgusting.
So after that epic face she made I said «you know what, I took a chance coming here, and you obviously don’t care about customers or selling product so I’ll take my business else where» she gave me my card and said «goodbye»…I’ll never enter foot in this place again… it’s horrid, bad service, and to be honest looks like the crappiest Chinese food store around.
Oh and while I was there she also pissed another potential customer off so bad that he left too based on some other issue with her great attitude…

They do not skimp on the icing here. Their chocolate bar is covered in dark chocolate icing, and the donuts have always been fresh. Located next door to 7 – 11.

Love this place! I think they have the best donuts in town. They are always fresh and have a good selection of donuts. The food is also very good and tasty. Food Made fresh daily It is a very clean food establishment I believe it’s family owned and run very friendly, very nice people.

They have awesome donuts. Super fresh and if you get it early in the morning, it practically melts in your mouth. The donuts are priced reasonably. I love their smoothies here and breakfast foods aren’t too bad.
Some cons might be the décor itself and the customer service but what can you expect from a donut shop.

Customer service is horrible !
No hello or thank you … Ask for something and the lady rolls her eyes and gives u a dirty look … And the Chinese food is not very good

No one likes to be awake at 5 am in the morning, but the smell of freshly baked donuts that warmly flourishes throughout this places instantly wakes you up. Then you grab yourself a nice cup of coffee for $ 1.25 and start your day.
I like this place because it’s close to home, and a local place all us Montebello folks know about. It tastes just like every other Chinese donut place you’ve been too so don’t be expecting something new and eclectic.
I prefer the glazed donut holes, and would highly recommend you stay away from the boba here.
But a very generous 4 stars I give it.

For my 1,000^th review, there was little choice but to go old school.
The Mythical Donut Shop.
This place would have qualified as a Unilocal oddity even if I had never come here. Why? Well, it used to have a sign outside that said Donuts 24 hours, Chinese food 10 to 9. So I thought it was cool that this place was basically this strange combo. (Mind you, this was the early– to mid-‘90s, when hybrid stores weren’t common.)
I can’t comment very much on either the donuts or Chinese food here because I rarely partook of either. The donuts warrant maybe three stars, and the Chinese food maybe three-​and-​a-​half. They do have those great ‘80s bad photographs of each combo plate, which make the meals look even less appetizing.
What brought me and my friends to this place again and again, though, was its video games. Every morning from roughly fall 1993 to spring 1995, my friends Carlos and Emi (RIP) would arrive at the Mythical Donut shop to wait for me, my friend Dan in tow, to take them to high school. We were one big carpool, though I drove literally 99.73 percent of the time. (Dan didn’t get his license till he turned eighteen, and he rarely drove even then; Carlos either didn’t get his license till later or couldn’t use his dad’s car, and Emi did have his license but didn’t have regular access to a car until he and I were in college together; at that point he did drive me sometimes when we both had the same summer job. In fact, I think he drove the last time I saw him, which was the week before he died in a rockslide at Yosemite.) My rates were fair. I charged $ 1 per way. That might not seem fair to you, but when you consider that I drove either from Whittier (Dan) or Montebello (Carlos and Emi) to Loyola High School (17 miles and 13 miles, respectively) and that on the way home I usually dropped my friends off at their houses – rather than the Mythical Donut Shop – it was eminently fair. You might also consider that I gave many other people rides, people who lived much farther away, and the fact that Carlos basically stopped paying at one point and still owes me probably $ 200 yet I never refused to drive him and have never demanded the money even though I see him every couple of years or so and I’ve got literally thirteen years of interest, technically. When you consider all of this, I was a pretty nice guy in high school. Or a chump or whatever.
I used most of that buck-​a-​way money to play video games and buy potato breakfast burritos during my free period at school. (My parents didn’t give me an allowance; all of my spending money in high school came from my job and what I got from my carpoolers.) They had Mortal Kombat 2 (briefly), a Neo Geo machine, and Street Fighter 2. Collectively, we spent dozens of hours playing Street Fighter 2. These dozens of hours came in small spurts, however, as we had literally a ten-​to-​fifteen-​minute window in which to finish our games and hit the road. (In a little more than two years of driving, we were late exactly once.) After getting our simulated-​violence fix, we then had to brave rush-​hour traffic each morning.
I loved this place for many reasons. For one, Street Fighter 2 was always only a quarter. At the time, many arcades were beginning to charge fifty cents to start and quarter to continue. Actually, they may have started charging fifty cents towards the end of our tenure here, but that was still OK, as there were usually four of us, so we would continue on each other’s quarters. I also liked the fact that the people who worked here always gave us change even though none of us except for Carlos really ever bought anything from here.
The only real downside to this place was that they had these metal bars bolted over the change returns of the arcade games. These bars were to prevent people from somehow rigging the machines to give back more change, but when they meant for me was that I had to bloody my knuckles (literally) on a consistent basis in order to get quarters back when the right slot (that bastard) wouldn’t take quarters. Now that I think of it, it’s really an unhygienic thing to have multiple teenagers gashing themselves on a daily basis, but I didn’t think very much about blood-​borne diseases at the time.
We would sometimes come to the Mythical Donut Shop after school too, although this happened quite rarely. I came here a couple of times at night just to play Street Fighter 2, but it was kinda scary, as there were these other teenagers there, and although I didn’t mind challenging strangers in street-​fighting games, I was always terrified that I was pissing someone off and would get beaten up in real life.
The Mythical Donut Shop taught me a very valuable life lesson. Basically, I learned how to forego short-​term happiness (playing video games) in order to aid my long-​term happiness (getting to school on time and, thus, not earning JUG [justice under God], Loyola’s version of detention).
