Ocean Island Restaurant
I relocated from Florida but I’m originally from Hawaii and Jamaica so I love dim sum and Asian food but can’t find much authentic Asian foods/grocery stores in FL. I live across the street from this place; it’s next to GW Grocery (an Asian grocery store with fruit, vegetables and fish selections that remind me of my islands). The day after I flew in, my boyfriend and I ordered a little of everything from here for breakfast. Everything was delicious. I especially missed having rice wrapped in lotus leaves but I definitely like their steam and fried buns. My eyes were bigger than my stomach the first time so I didn’t finish everything in the photo in one sitting. What we didn’t eat that morning kept well and lasted for about a week. I work from home but I often skip lunch so these are great to heat and eat between tasks. We’ve ordered delivery from here as well as gone there in person. I recommend in person ordering if you are a visual person but beware: everything looks great so you’ll end up ordering more than you intended! The staff are patient if you don’t speak their language; you can point without being misunderstood. Although there are small tables and chairs inside, it’s too small a place for staying to eat. I recommend getting what you want to go; it’s packaged “to go” anyway. Anyway, everything is delicious here so I highly recommend this place.
This restaurant was called Yum Cha Cafe, which was a very poor-looking but good taste dim sum restaurant. It looks they just did a little renovation and raised the price. Based on the original price, they raised a LOT. The food is very good, even better than the most big restaurants, it sells the old fashing Cantonese dim sum. Nowadays, Dim Sum become three styles. One is Order-to-Make, which is also the best good looking and most expensive one. The second is several aunts push the carts walking inside the restaurant, you can order from them. The third one is like this restaurant, all the foods are pre-made and kept warming in the steaming pot. Clients buy the food at the counter and bring them to a table to eat. The third one is also the cheapest. (p.s. all pictures are Yum Cha Cafe)
Sham Tseng BBQ
I was going to try the noodles place across the street, they were closed that day so I randomly tried this restaurant. The place was packed on a Sunday. The place has that funky Hong Kong narrow street cafe feel to it. You see all the phots of food posted all over. I was lucky they were having a $39.99 promo for lobster noodles. 2 small lobster on top of noodles. It was great. The lobsters were on small side, maybe a lbs or so each. So hardly any tail meat really, but it was still worth it for the price. Totally come back to check out the bbq next time.
Personally I like this place, but must admit, the atmosphere is like any cafe restaurant you find with a little smell of the roast duck and pork right next door. The food here is great though! (Which is probably more important anyway!) always can find a pleasant surprise with the dishes they can make. If you’re looking for something exquisite will require ordering ahead of time though, especially some seafoods, so call ahead if you’re looking for the more expensive stuff.
Capital Dim Sum & BBQ
much more softer, more succulent dim sum than any in Las Vegas. we always stop here whenever we're in the LA area for a great foodie meal with excellent value
Roast pork bad taste like left over meat and with pork hair and char siew very rubber taste. Dim sum ok
Na Jia Bistro 那家东北菜
Love this place! Guo Bao Rou is must order. The portion is huge, my mother is from Northeast China and she confirmed that the taste is very authentic. The service is very good too and we will definitely come again. Five stars!
Authentic north east Chinese food. I like it.
Zhou's Guilin Rice Noodle
My favorite goto after work comfort food restaurant, I don’t understand why someone giving them one star for not opening. My favorite is the pork stomach noddle soup, the manager is probably the one of the nicest person I ever met, the place is clean and cozy. I would keep supporting the local good restaurants like this.
As a 桂林 native, this place hits. We've only ever had the #1 dry noodles with crispy pork and beef, which are the quintessential toppings. Takeout has always been stellar, but dine in has recently been very good as well.
Yau Ma Tei Yummy Kitchen 油麻地茶餐厅
One of many HK-style cafes in the area, their food is pretty solid if you're looking for good comfort meals. I got their salted fish eggplant pot (yum!), veggies, a rice soup, and a beef chow mein. Everything tasted exactly the way a HK cafe would taste. Super flavorful eggplant pot. I want to try the seafood tofu one next time. We tried ordering a claypot rice but they told us it would take 45 mins. We'll have to order ahead for claypot rice for sure.
Food was great. Black truffle marinated chicken was very flavorful, and had strong truffle taste. Salt & pepper chicken wing very crisp outside, and juicy inside. Clay pot had good flavor. Peking style pork chop was great, deep fried just right with sweet and sour sauce. Deep fried sole fish was great, very crisp with good sauce, and not dry. Salty fish with tofu was plain, had no flavor. Service was great, they checked on us multiple times to refill tea and napkins.
Ocean Star Restaurant
Great dim sum place. A group of people is the best way to experience this, I recommend between 6-14, as more than that and you'll have your group split on multiple tables, but less than that and you won't get to try everything. So many choices! There are vegetarian options if you know how to ask about them, but most everything has pork or shrimp in it so I wouldn't recommend this to your veggie/vegan friends. If you see the almond tea go by with puff pastry on top, grab it before it's gone!!
Went there for Saturday morning Dim. There weren't many people when we arrived shortly after 10am, but by the time we left an hour later, it was full. The food is ok and the selection is good. Service is acceptable but it would be helpful if you could speak Mandarin or Cantonese. This place must have been around for a long time.
Phoenix Food Boutique
I always forget that this place serves actual meals too --although limited compared to the actual restaurant locations. I usually get the desserts. Either way, you can't go wrong! Nice place to sit inside, as you're waiting for the new movie at the AMC to premier.
The food here is always so flavorful that I end up coming back for more. This time we ordered deep fried squid with spicy salt which had jalapeno slices and was so delicious I crave it, Hakka braised pork belly which was so tender and juicy, Hong Kong rice noodles with beef the noodles were perfectly cooked and the beef was thinly sliced and the sauce was perfectly seasoned.
Jiu Hao Can Ting
Appetizers Central!!! $9.99 per lb of Chinese Fast Food in Monterey Park. They have a pretty good variety of appetizers....but I'm okay on everything else. Not your typical Shau May (original OG local Chinese fast food/Arcadia). This place has a different taste and lighter which is nice. Its comes with rice and soup. Don't pick the super overly starched egg corn soup. We got lucky with parallel street parking. So I guess if we do come back again, it'll probably be for 1. Takeout of their appetizers for home, or a pot luck situation. They have pretty good variety of appetizers. 2. If looking for cheap comfort meal for particular items. I guess veggies cost alot now, so maybe a whole plate of a different veggies could be worth it. 3. Single dining or take out for affordability. Takes credit card. Grab your soup on your own. They will hand you the rice. There's just so much food in the area. Great concept. I wish Hsiu Hsiu Shau May Arcadia would do that. If this place's quality increases or just focus of particular dishes then I'll come back. Or else I'll just be back to buy a variety of appetizers.
Very flavorful Chinese buffet . Parking in the back . Only open one month .
OK Cafe
It’s been a while since I have been to a good ole cafe in the MP / Alhambra area. I happened to be in the area and settled upon OK cafe. I remember going to OK cafe a while back, but it was at a different location. I’m not even sure if it is the same restaurant and owner or a different restaurant with the same name. It definitely has the HK vibe as all the music was either in mandarin or Cantonese. They had multiple TVs playing all Asian content and the menu was just like I had remembered it. What I was most impressed with was the price and quality. I got filet mignon with mushroom sauce for less than $15 and it was xlnt quality. It came with vegetables and your choice of rice or spaghetti and it was amazing. Ultimately, I highly recommend for the balance of price and quality. Restaurant was clean, the staff was nice. Parking can be a bit difficult but I recommend weekdays.
Ok food for Ok Cafe. Not extraordinarily good. My friend has been telling to go try this HK cafe. I thought I would give it try. Here is the load downs: The chow fen has ok taste like most of the other HK cafes in SGV. But it lacked the Wok Hei which is essential to good Chow Fen. Yang Zhou fried rice is also ok with a bit of salty taste. The BBQ pork in the fried rice had no flavor. As for the wonton noodle, which is a stable of HK cafe, was also just ok. The wonton didn’t have a lot of shrimps and the noodle was saggy and it was hard for me to separate the noodle. The noodle had no texture, it was just a bundle of spaghetti egg noodles. Typically, the egg noodle comes with wonton should be al dente and elastic with a bit of chewy texture. The only good dish we had was the pan fried Gai Lan. It was green and crunchy that’s perfectly cooked. Haven’t tried the other dishes yet. I hope they are better than the fried rice and Chow Fen we had.
Hunan Restaurant
Tried this restaurant because my Chinese friend recommended that it’s a hidden little gem in Monterey Park and it’s price is cheap. I don’t think it can be considered cheap. The price was higher than a few “normal price” places I ate, but the food was definitely very delicious. They welcomed guests until the closing time which we really appreciated. The eggplant pot was exceptionally good. I would go for that dish alone!
This is a restaurant that serves authentic Hunan cuisine. Hunan cuisine is also known for being spicy but uses lots of fresh peppers. The owner is from the province. We two people ordered Chinese smoked pork stir fried with dry tofu, and stir fried beef. The dishes go perfect with rice. The average price is ~30 per person. I’d def come again next time I want Hunan food.
Spicy Duck Wang La Ya
This restaurant is located in Taipei Plaza in Moncler Pattaya. The transportation is very convenient. The parking lot is in the underground and next to the road. You cannot eat in the store and need to take it away. The price is not cheap. All the food is spicy, which is liked by many Chinese and of course many Mexicans.
Excellent flavor and good customer service! I love the sweet and spicy duck neck and wings really. Definitely will come again
