Nice place to come for drinks and some Taiwanese dishes that I can't find elsewhere. Food is flavorful and the servers are cute and friendly. A lot of families come in here for dinner and later in the night it becomes more of a cool place to drink with your friends while eating a wide variety of dishes. The squid lips are the best! Unfortunately, not always available.

The restaurant changed its name a while ago (not sure if the owner changes), but the recipes stay! Have been here many times since I was still a student 10 years ago; the taste is still the same. I love the place even though some dishes may be too salty or too much MSG (not everyone’s favorite), but I love the place!

The good: fast, fresh and hot dim sum to go. Reasonable prices can order individual items. Perfect when dining alone. Easy in and out, with easy parking. The not so great: just not the best dim sum flavor wise. I would go back in a pinch, but too many better options in the area.

Place is so good, if you like the taste of authentic Asian cuisine, this is a place to go to when visiting or passing through Monterey Park it’s a hidden gem and has been here for a long time. Stop by and have the Steamed Beef Balls (Ngao Yuk) those are the best!! That and have some of the shrimp.

This place is unassuming, but then they sucker punch you with HANDS DOWN the BEST WONTON NOODLES EVER. I have yet to eat more perfect wonton noodles with dumplings. The broth is simple and clean and delicious and the dumplings are amazinngggg as well. I have gotten multiple dishes here and have had the most awesome taste bud adventures. If you're not a noodle person (le gasp), you can't go wrong with the curry and the hainan chicken. I don't know how they do it. The food is rich in flavor but I don't feel greasy or anything after eating it. I guess it's just super fresh ingredients, homemade, and skillfully cooked food. Try it to believe it!!

Hole in the wall, hidden gem, mom & pop vibes! they take card! I can't get over these egg noodles in this wonton mein! seems like most places serve it up clumped together and you need to split your chopsticks to break them apart - BUT NOT HERE. they are silky and bouncy! and the soup is nicely flavored, enhancing everything in the dish. you also get four big wontons filled with plump shrimp and pork. I also love their hainan chicken, well seasoned, and the filet mignon has a nice kick. Nice selection of traditional asian dessert options in individual serving sides (tofu pudding with ginger syrup, "che thai", ube tofu, etc.) and they also sell their wontons/dumplings frozen + noodles in packages. parking is available on the street! limited seating, but a lot of folks are doing takeaway!

Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!

Tiny little hole in the wall place, but great for some dumplings of sorts. This place is meant to be more of a store than restaurant...seating is super limited! I'm talking about four tables or so and it's not well ventilated, poor AC. The owner is cool, but very loud when she's yelling around inside the general area and kitchen...how do I say this, AWKWARD?! I love their meat buns, it's small, but so good! Their breading is so fluffy and the meat is tender. Their 'Xiao Long Bao' is okay compared to the quality Ding Tai Fong...everything is good, but not outstanding. Get their takeouts and cook the dumplings at your own leisure. I would avoid dining here, unless you're solo and want a quick meal. Dean Sin World is in a plaza, so you won't be able to see it on the main street. Plenty of parking and cash only!

The noodles at Noodle Art are absolutely delicious—you can really tell they’re handmade with care. The braised beef noodle stood out with its rich, savory flavor and quickly became my favorite dish. The sweet and sour pork was decent, though a bit heavy on the sauce for my taste. Overall, we really enjoyed the food here. Just a heads-up: the service is minimal. They’ll take your order at the table, but you’ll need to head up to the counter to pay and grab your own water. Still, the quality of the food makes it worth it, and we’ll definitely be back!

Noodle Art offers a wide variety of noodle dishes. The fried noodles with cumin lamb stood out as a favorite, thanks to its rich flavor. The noodle soup was also delicious, with complex layers of flavors and various toppings. The dry noodles with hot oil and spice were equally tasty, and the freshness of the noodles made a noticeable difference. The pork hamburger was superb, with both the meat and bun being flavorful. We also appreciated the fast service. Located in a plaza, parking was very convenient. Very authentic.

Decided to visit to this spot-on Thanksgiving Day 2023! Honestly, not sure what to expect, as soon we walked in, we were happily greeted and seated right away! I noticed there were a ton of to go orders. Partner and I were craving our typical Chinese food order Salt and Pepper Calamari – Crunchy, seasoned well, not too spicy Szechwan Eggplant – hint of spice, stayed hot (temperature wise) the whole time Beef Chow Fun w gravy – Tender beef, flavorful noods Duck – typical, very good except, it came out room temp. BBQ Pork – Typical and just like the duck – room temp. If you are in or near the area and can’t get to Alhambra or Rosemead, let’s say you live in Whittier, City of Industry, Avocado Heights then this is your spot. =) Missing star – I was quite surprised at the price of 2 Bbq item combo $31? Check out how small the portion was.

I was a regular at this establishment. Standard Chinese food, nothing amazing but the roast duck is decent. I used to buy roast duck here often but realized they started removing parts of the duck without letting me know. Last time, I was missing a whole leg. Every time when the roast duck was given to me with missing parts, I realized it was the same lady preparing my order. I believe she is the owner. It used to be a guy that prepared my roast duck and nothing ever went missing. But when she prepares it, she takes a cut without informing me. Removing parts of the duck I paid for without my knowledge is theft. This is stealing! I paid for the whole duck, not parts of the duck. I put this review up to warn others when buying roast duck. Make sure you have a complete order before leaving! Don't get robbed. I will never come back again, they have lost a long time customer for their greed and dishonesty.

Excellent Hong Kong-style food here. Extensive menu with prompt and courteous service. As of Aug '23, they offer a yummy dessert for free! Prices are lower than similar restaurants in the area, and the portions are generous. The only drawback is the setting, which is at the back end of the shopping plaza. Not particularly picturesque, but all the other positives easily outweigh that. Great food, great price!

BEWARE! I found a screw in my fried rice and nearly chipped my tooth! Thank goodness I didnt swallow it. This is totally unacceptable.

Amazing beef noodle soups. I got the tendon beef (medium spice) this time. Everything was so tender and delicious. Amazing portions, delicious chewy noodles. And you can't forget the house made pickled greens. I always add two spoonfuls. They're always super sweet and kind. If you're here, be kind to the staff. It's a mom and pop shop.

Wednesday 4/23/25 Dinner at Cindy’s Kitchen trying out their combination beef noodle. On my, it was so delicious and savory. The beef and tendon were so tender and tasty, the noodles was the right texture and firmness, and the soup base has lots of herbs and spices and perfectly balanced. This is my new go to beef noodle restaurant. There was only one female service staff working so it did took longer to order, wait for foods, then pay. It turned out true to reflecting the Heinz’s slogan, “Good things come to those who wait.” I recommend trying out this restaurant. David Young Restaurant Enthusiast

Went here on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn’t too busy. We ordered a lot of food but my favorites would have to be the House lobster and the honey walnut shrimp! We didn’t have much leftovers but they packed up the leftovers for us. Service was great and the restroom was clean. Would definitely come back again!

On sat, I visited a restaurant that wasn't very crowded. However, All the dishes we ordered were delicious. The parking was convenient, and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive, checking in on us every 5-10 minutes to see if we needed anything. At the end of our meal, they gifted us two bowls of delicious white dessert. Since we ordered so many dishes, they packed up the leftovers for us to take home. It was a wonderful dining experience!

I’ve come to this restaurant for over 20+ years. It was always a go to Chinese-Korean place. Recently the ownership changed and they remodeled but I was scared the food might taste different. Thank God the food still tastes delicious! Now with better service and cleaner atmosphere, we still come here often! 12/25/2024 An update: We order to-go at least twice a month here, and I've been noticing the food quality changes whenever they are busy. Today I ordered a to-go of jjajangmyun plate. I understand the fact that it was busy due to the holiday, but the noodles were way overcooked and soggy.. the beef was way too hard.. please... be consistent.. Although I wanted to give one star for today's food, I'm keeping a 3 star for the good experience I had previously. I will post another update in the near future hoping for better experience.

I’ve had the same types of dishes (jajjangmyun, tangsuyuk, mapo tofu) at many other chinese/korean places and new garden’s take on these dishes is super flavorful and distinct. I heard this place is under new management and a new menu, and I have to say the service and staff was awesome and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

The Cantonese dim sum is really great. There are many types. It can be said to be one of the most delicious Cantonese tea drinks in this area.

The squab they produce is the most disgusting thing in my life.

The food is delicious! Highly recommend grilled squid, puff pastry rice cake, and handmade shrimp paste, as each delivers an exceptional flavour and for those who can handle heat, remember to order extra spicy because it definitely highlights your experience. The pancake isn’t as tasty as I’ve hoped but still, it’s not a bad item tho. The price point is pretty high for a food truck but the quality of food is totally worth it.

Foods are tasty and price reasonably. The fried dough with rice cake is the perfect snack or dessert!
