Rosemead highlight
Diverse food scene
Rosemead hosts over two hundred restaurants and is home to major food industry companies including Panda Express, which has its headquarters in the city, and Huy Fong Foods, maker of sriracha sauce.
The diversity of Rosemead's food scene reflects its diverse population. Asian restaurants—Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, and more—line Garvey Avenue and side streets throughout the city. Vietnamese pho shops, dim sum restaurants, Chinese bakeries, and modern fusion establishments serve residents and visitors from across the region. The city also hosts Mexican restaurants, American diners, and cuisines from throughout Latin America, reflecting the second-largest population group in Rosemead.
Rosemead is headquarters to Panda Restaurant Group, the parent company of Panda Express, a Chinese-American fast-casual chain with thousands of locations worldwide. The city is also home to Huy Fong Foods, the family company that manufactures and distributes sriracha sauce and other Asian condiments. These companies employ hundreds of Rosemead residents and have made the city a center of Asian food manufacturing and distribution in Southern California.
Food and family go together everywhere: a Sunday lunch at a favorite restaurant, a birthday dinner, bringing home takeout on a busy week. In Rosemead, where two-income households are common and many families have young children, those meals represent shared time and the rhythms of a life together. Life insurance protects that life—making sure the mortgage gets paid, the children eat, school tuition is covered, even if one income disappears.
