This place has it all, amazing food, vibes, service and atmosphere. The drink menu is perfectly curated. Tried the Lychee Martini, it was a solid 1st drink choice and super delicious. Then tried the signature Mai tai and Passionfruit margarita, both really delicious but the Mai tai was very strong (husband liked it). All the food was cooked well, seasoned to perfection and our server guided us with recommendations to complement the experience. We were decided on the combination rice and phoenix chicken and undecided on one more to try but I am glad we went with the honey walnut shrimp. It had a nice crisp outside but perfectly cooked inside. Would love to come back to try the sushi because our neighboring table was raving about how it just “melts in your mouth”. Definitely a must try!

Loved the renovations at the Panda Inn. Carson our server was professional and attentive with great recommendations. We had a party of 7 and enjoyed the beef fried rice; sea bass light with a ginger flavor; Mongolian beef dish; peking duck and the sushi deluxe. All were a delight and the chocolate dipped fortune cookies were a terrific end to our meal.

We tried this restaurant out but the food was less than subpar and the waitress was not good. She said she was too busy but she didn't even come take her order for at least 20 minutes the food was dry and not really edible. The Wonton soup was okay the sweet and sour chicken with fried so much it was dry we will not be back

Staff is welcoming and the place was clean. We tried the fried rice, kung pao chicken, house lo mein. As an appetizer we had the dumplings. I also had the hot and sour soup. Everything was nice and hot with lots of flavor. So definitely good place to eat.

The layout and ordering system here are ridiculous. Had to literally squeeze through a 4-inch gap just to reach booth seating. Order by scanning QR codes, but if customers switch them, it causes order mix-ups. While the staff are genuinely nice, they're working with a really inefficient system for handling orders and customer traffic. The food is OK - everything's just 水煮 (water-boiled) in the same spicy oil broth. Even their namesake 冒菜, while rare outside specific regions of China, isn't anything special. The broth is decent enough that I'd consider taking it home to upgrade some instant noodles, but that's about it. The chicken wings were super-dry, that they shrunk in size. The only uniqueness is there's chilli oil on top. I'd give this place another shot, but only if I can get a to-go order. Skip the 冒菜 despite the namesake, I'd much rather try the spiced 'lapin'.

Food is good but wait time is a bit long

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.

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.

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!
