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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Was definitely a bit suspicious about all you can eat dim sum, but was pleasantly surprised overall. Everything came out super quickly and was piping hot, and the quality was a baseline solid. Har gow, shu mai, Cheung fun were nothing to write home about but were tasty and it is unlimited, so I can't complain too much. The pork ribs and egg tarts were great too. Note that the tea costs an extra $2 per person, and there is a limit of 90 minutes.

Organized. Short wait to sit down as well getting the order dishes. Only took 5 minutes between order and 1st dishes but the remaining came quickly after. Food was delicious. Recommend only ordering what can handle so maybe about 10-15 items are plenty. Anything more than that may put you in OD zone. Overall, dim sum affordable. Veggies fantastic. If ordered separately elsewhere, then likely more than $25+ per person. Tight parking spots limited. Thanks!

I had a terrible experience at Sheng Yuan Restaurant. After dining there yesterday, I ended up with severe food poisoning—vomiting three times and having diarrhea. The food was incredibly disappointing. The Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork) was overwhelmingly sour, and the Salted Egg Yolk Fried Chicken Wings had an extremely fishy taste. I had to literally wash the Guo Bao Rou in the salty sauce of the Tomato Egg Drop Noodles just to make it somewhat edible. My friend only took one bite of the pork and chicken wings before refusing to eat any more. They ended up ordering noodles from another restaurant. The only dish that was somewhat tolerable was the Tomato Egg Drop Noodles, but even that wasn’t great—it was just edible, nothing more. When we complained to the staff, they just brushed it off, claiming it was impossible. It was an awful experience, and I will definitely not be returning.

東北人 have a negative stereotype that whatever they do, it's without care for quality, and things just come out looking janky. Not the case here with these folks! The food is pretty good, and you can tell the clientele here have good relations with the owners. My party and I kept calling back to make changes to the reservations, and they didn't say a word. Did their best to accommodate. Plus, compared to other regional Chinese cuisines, Northeastern Chinese food tends to be the best bang for the buck. Last but not least, if there is a positive stereotype 東北人 are known for, it's being 爽快. Not pretentious at all, and to the point. Gotta' love that about them!

Fast Service Noodle #1, combination meats, the egg small noodle is good (chewy texture) soup is tasty (most definitely have MSG) overall is above average but not WOW Satay Chow Fun - is OK. Not that bad but definitely will not order again (if I can still remember when re visiting) House chile - Good tasted but not spicy enough CASH ONLY

Cash only so YOU KNOW it's 🔥 Noodles are great and I recommend the filet mignon with red rice. There can be a wait and you may be asked to share a table with others -- make friends! It slowed down after 1pm on a Saturday FYI

It's an okay place. Tug in the corner of the plaza i usually missed its existence. Very old school HK cafe. For what I ordered - wonton noodle and beef stew dry wide egg noodle, it's pretty good. Better value then down the street at Alice's Kitchen. I think the outside section fares better for lunch than sitting inside, it's kind of on the small side. Sadly the outside patio doesn't have much view to speak of but it is a distance away from the busy streets unlike other venues- definitely a good distinction from others where you would feel the draft from traffic. They have bulk frozen dumplings of various meats for sale as well. Good place for a quick lunch.

Delicious food. Porch chop in honey sauce was amazing as well as the beef rice roll. Parking sucks up too but there’s a structure directly behind and a short walk up. Definitely coming back.

One of our favorite Hong Kong style BBQ restaurants in the area. Generally no wait necessary. They offer a large menu. You will for sure find something you like.

The lobster with noodle (with yee main) is really delicious. The wonton is flavorful. The morning glory is ok. Plenty of choices to choose from. Enormous parking lot . Fast service. The restaurant can fit almost 100 people

Last minute decision to try a newly discovered dim sum place around the neighborhood. It’s not your typical large scale dim sum place. However, they do offer a large selection of dim sum and stir fried dishes. It’s nice to see family owned small restaurant pop up. We were seated quickly and food was served quickly. I am always amazed how the chef can offer such large selection of dishes. Worth a try.

They have dim sum all day! The food was delicious and reasonably priced! The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant was cute and clean.

We made reservations for 12:30pm on a Saturday for 11 people but to our pleasant surprise it was not busy which was great. Quiet atmosphere. This is a traditional family style menu. All dishes were cooked well and flavorful. Slippery shrimp and moo shu wraps were my favorite. Large portions to share and we also had alot left over to take home. Hospitality was nice and we all took home a 2025 Year Of The Snake Chinese zodiac calendar.

I had the pleasure of dining at Yang Chow in Pasadena, and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely amazing, with large portions that left us more than satisfied. To top it off, the staff was incredibly kind and made my mom’s birthday extra special by surprising her with a little birthday ice cream and a cheerful song. Their hospitality really set the tone for a fantastic meal. Highly recommend for great food and even better service!
