This place is REAL good! Small space, but VERY wonderful staff, and extremely good food at a decent price, tucked away in a small corner that people easily pass by, if they don't bother stopping in. But hey, that's just their loss.

I ordered the H6 soup and H1 kimchi pan fried dumplings. Lets start with the soup…have ya’ll ever seen the anime Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma?? Yea, eating here is like that. This soup was so good it blew my socks off. Holy. Moly. Its spicy but it burns sooo good. The broth is rich, thick, layered. The noodles are hand made (according to my waitress). And the premium meat is just perfect. I just found my new spot to eat after work on a cold winter day. One spoonful of this soup will send your taste buds reeling. As you can tell, i really liked it. Spectacular. Give me fourteen of them more. The kimchi dumplings were really good too. Lol. Oh and they give you hot tea when you sit down. Classic. P.s. sorry for the half eaten soup pic. It was so good i had to write the review before i finished it.

new favorite chinese place The BBQ pork is awesome and you get an awesome amount of food on your plate. The old men who works at the counter is accomodating and the lobby where you eat is big and spacious with loungey sofas.

Employees are nice and food is decent. Huge portions and you can order a combination of white rice, fried rice, or chow mein. I personally like the mushroom chicken the most. Don't come here right at open like I did. They only had about 1/3 of the dishes ready. I recommend coming in half an hour after opening.

They used to be New Wok on Peck Rd next to the dealership in the shopping center! They are the best Wok in El Monte! I almost cried after eating their food. We tried other Woks from 5 different cities, NONE of them compare! Have been a customer since I was a kid! So happy they are reopen! It’s our first visit to their new location. Their rice in this visit was a bit too salty and taste slightly different too. But, their signature chow mein is SO good! No other place compares! Their egg roles are also delicious too! Their food quantity is just as big too! You really get your bang for your buck: 2 combo is like $10-$11 and the 3 combo is $12.49ish. They used to have vegetarian/pescatarian options, but not anymore. I hope they have more veggie and seafood options!

We’ve been waiting for this place to open and was finally able to taste it today! We’ve got broccoli beef, mushroom chicken, orange chicken with chow mein, with the side order of shrimp fried rice. All the food tasted so fresh and the flavor was amazing. The portion is too good for the price. It’s enough for the day.

The customer in front of me asked for 1lb of roasted pork but the butcher lady gave him 1.75lb! Then my turn and I asked for a specific cut but she was so bossy wanting to cut her way with burnt pig skin which I hate burnt pig skin. I asked for one pound but tried to upsell me 2 lbs as well. I said no. She got agitated and she cut so sloppy and put in my to go box sloppy and I didn't get the pig skins I wanted. So disappointed! Not coming back her. I would go back across the street at Ruby's BBQ with better selection with no burnt skin and better service.

Great price and yummy food. Our go-to for lunch!

Delicious Chinese food, exceptionally friendly service, good prices. I tried egg and vermicelli fried dumplings and the fried beef and cumin dumplings which are similar to empanadas. I also enjoyed the pan-fried pork dumplings. They generously asked how many soups we would like, and gave us four egg flower soups for free. The inside of the restaurant was clean and spacious. Highly recommend!

This dumpling spot is reasonably priced and has a simple but clean dining area. The menu is quite limited. The dumplings appear to be a more Westernized take — the filling is a bit salty, the beef has a sticky texture, and the wrappers lack the chewy bite you’d typically expect. The flavors seem adjusted to suit broader, local tastes, which some may enjoy more than others. They also serve a complimentary corn and egg drop soup, which was a thoughtful touch, though it leans on the sweeter side. Parking is easy and convenient. Overall, it’s a decent place for a quick meal, I only have dumping, but probably not one I’d go out of my way to return to.

Ordered 2 items: sweet & ginger pork rib, and Chinese meat balls. With flying noodle. Not prepared food package, but real cooked stuffs.

First time checking it out. Girl in a hurry food didn't have labels so I asked what it was she was giving attitude. Then asked for fried rice. She gave white I'm like girl bye. So went back to get exchanged she said something in her native tongue. Very rude.

Food not that good. The wait is long. Took them a long time to come take order. The curry pork skin taste old and no flavor. The porridge supposed to have pork skin but there is none. Portion of porridge small and water down. The soup noodle barely give you any soup. So little lemon in lemon tea. Will not recommend this place.

Update in 2025: The second time I came here was on a Sunday breakfast/brunch time. They have an iPad to sign up/check-in as they were packed. I was waiting in the back closer to the parking lot entrance. However, the host has been skipping my number and has been calling people who arrived after me. I finally went to her and asked her. She was not very nice, nonchalant, and disrespectful by saying “I called you!” I told her that I have been standing here, but did not hear my number if she can give me to next available table. She then gave me the table next to the exit where everyone was waiting. We ordered porridge and a fried noodle. However, food had lack of flavor. Highly suggest that they manage their quality control and service, especially during business hours. 2024 4 stars: Came here for the first time because I want to try their ovaltine french toast. We parked on Las Tunas, and there was plenty of parking when we arrived. We were seated promptly. I love the decorations. They put a lot of old Hong Kong elements in this restaurant. Also they use a special folding table and Orange plastic bowl, chopsticks, and plates, which reminded me of 大排擋. We ordered Hong Kong style sweet and sour pork, pan fried udon with beef in black pepper sauce, and 7up with salted lime. The food tasted very authentic! Reminds me of home. We ordered ovaltine french toast as dessert. It is something new to me that I have never had, and it turns out tasty! Services was good, and servers are friendly. Will be back again.

Interesting new place. Not sure why they chose this name, but the food is decent! Once you past the front section, there's a courtyard where you grab other items and rice [self-serve section]. Nice furniture and decor! Worth a shot! I'd come back again.

I recently dined at Red Lantern Restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a family dinner. The menu offers a wide range of authentic Chinese dishes. I particularly enjoyed the Steamed Fish, which was fresh and flavorful, truly reflecting the essence of traditional Chinese cuisine. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking genuine Chinese flavors in a warm and inviting setting.

Absolutely a good place to go for authentic Chinese cuisine, fresh ingredients with genuine flavour and pretty reasonable prices. A must try of their milk pudding, it’s really good!

I believe Bay Garden Café is underrated for its authentic Cantonese food and HK café cuisine. Despite being around for over 6+ years, the place doesn't seem as crowded as it used to be. They offer a great selection of Cantonese dishes, and their service is consistently fast. The pricing is very reasonable considering the generous portions of food you receive. The dishes are authentic, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. However, I must deduct one star due to the very dirty restrooms and old glasses/dishware. Quick tips: Parking is available right behind the restaurant, which is shared with other shops in the same plaza. Street parking is also an option. They offer a lunch special from 8 am to 3 pm daily at a very reasonable price. While many people may be drawn to the new Alice’s Kitchen (one of the best HK cafés in the area) across the street, I encourage giving Bay Garden Café a try if you're looking for something different. You might discover something you like even better at Bay Garden Café.

The waitresses work hard and efficiently. The Chinese food is consistently delicious. The customers are usually Chinese/Taiwanese. Do yourself a favor and try their food! Recommendations: Beef Roll Combination Fried Rice Cake Tea (to wash the palate afterwards) The photo is proof of how much I enjoyed the combination fried rice cake ;)

It is one of those authentic Chinese restaurants in the SG area. You will be able to find tasty northern Chinese noodles and pies. Nothing bad so far.

Ordered beef needle, shanxi knife cut fried noodles and saliva chicken. Flavor is 100% what you get in Taiwan. Price and portion is not bad! Recommend all dishes.

Knife shaved noodle are the best!! Their food portion is huge, service is decent. The pot sticker was okay average. If you love noodle and dumplings and Chinese pancakes, this place is a must try!

A really nice and spacious restaurant with super efficient and friendly service. The waiting staff would bring us things before we even ask. Food is generous portion and sizes.

Dim sum, cha chaan teng(Hong Kong style cafe) are well known around the world, but I think the iconic typhoon shelter style cuisine deserves to be famous too! Believe me or not, you will always have your thumbs up when you try typhoon shelter crab/lobster/prawn/clams, dishes full of aromatic fried seafood. This restaurant did a good job on the food. However, I hope they can be careful about the noise. When I dined in, there’s a staff member playing TikTok videos loudly through the speaker on his phone.
