Food: Tasty, flavor and presentation are mediocre for some, lacking for others. The little egg waffle is very good Beverage: The house milk tea is good. Close enough to Hong Kong style, strong Portions: Normal average portions same size as most restaurants Price: A bit on the high side Service: Fast service and fast food preparation Atmosphere: High Kong vibes and feel. A bit busy with much decorations and neon lights It's my first time here since they opened. Came with my families and I believe we are all on the same page on the food, flavors and taste. We ordered 7 dishes, out of the 7, only 2 are tasty, the rest are just mediocre and one in particular is just not good, not recommended. The honey pork chop. Not enough honey, soggy, not tasty enough. Fry chicken wing, a simple dish is not flavorful enough. The baje chicken noodle with the white sauce is very good, creamy and tasty. Milk tea is good, choose to the Hong Kong style. Kind of strong though. The little egg waffle is one of the best i have ever taste, my niece also agrees Service are fast, Asian style, meaning not much chatting and only take your orders. They are pretty fast as the waiters/waitress are equipped with tablets to take orders. Dishes are prepared and ready within 10 minutes. That pretty fast. Atmosphere as I mentioned is decorated to looks like or feels like a Hong Kong vibe with many different pictures of places in Hong Kong, signs, vehicles and buildings. You do get the feel of being in Hong Kong, and that's the theme. Some people like this view and feel, but some thinks it a bit busy. It does not feel upscale, but a cafe if Hong Kong is not meant for that purpose. All and all. It's worth trying and feel the vibe, some things are worth ordering and some are better elsewhere. You be the judge

I really liked the ribeye steak!! It was only $19.95, but it looked and tasted very good (honestly, even better than some $100+ steak I had in the past). I would definitely come back for the ribeye steak. The Hainan chicken rice was delicious with big portion as well. I even liked their fries, they were simple fries but they were freshly cooked. The restaurants is decorated with CH/HK signs which I loved. It gave me a feeling of eating in a restaurant in HK. The workers were fast with their services. The foods came out within 10 minutes. I highly recommend this place. Good place. Good price. Good food.

This is the most legit rice noodle roll I have ever had in the US! It tastes exactly the same as the ones I had in Guangzhou. I recommend it to everyone who loves or wants to try Cantonese food.

The epitome of Southern Chinese comfort food. The rice noodle rolls come in multiple different combinations, adding an egg really elevates the experience since the toppings are generally just put on top but the egg gets mixed in. The rice noodles have a ribbon ruffled texture that helps it capture the sweet soy sauce in between its layers. The century egg and pork congee was just okay, they used slice pork instead of ground pork and the pork flavor didn't really disperse throughout the soup. The rice is still larger chunks as well and not ground. Service is pretty fast. The atmosphere is pretty casual.

We waited and skipped out on this place last year because the wait was ridiculously long on Lunar New Year. We managed to only wait 30 mins this year because LNY landed on a Weekday. You write your name on the waiting list. Make sure you stay inside to hear your name because these people have no shame. I have witnessed, those that know the language, tried to smooch their way to the top and you need to pay attention and be ready to interfere. There is no order of first come first serve, if a table clears up for a party of 6, they could skip over the list and call that group. It’s terrible. While we were waiting, I studied what to order to save time. The physical menu, take out menu, and on line do not match. It’s so unorganized and not categorized. It needs to be redone with photos. Why put “vege” in front of a word when the entire restaurant is vegetarian! The portions are huge, meant for family banquet style and the price reflects that averaging $17.99 each. We are a party of 2 but ordered: -Corn cream and pumpkin soup ($13.59): Sweet like corn from a can. -Deep fried tofu: Not sure when they fried this because it wasn’t piping hot and the edges were not crispy. It was tofu with barely any batter. It was so bad that we had to tell the server to let the chef know so it doesn’t affect anyone else. -Eggplant w brown sauce ($17.99): This was the only egg plant combo option that wasn’t spicy. -Sweet and sour fish ($19.59): This was the only fish option that wasn’t spicy. -Walnut shrimp: I asked for walnut shrimp but something else came out instead. It was shrimp with mushrooms and nuts. My mom liked it so I didn’t complain. The quality of food was just meh. The crowd impacted the service and queue. I’ve tasted better vegetarian restaurants near by. I can now cross this one off my list. Sadly, we will not return.

It used to be amazing! What happened? The food was gluey, bland and very oily. Nothing was good, we didn’t even bother taking any leftovers. It’s quite a drive for us to get here and we all decided this was our last time 🙁

Chef Tony Dim Sum offers a welcoming and lively dining experience, with service that makes you feel right at home. The dim sum is decent and served promptly, though the real highlight is the warm hospitality. Yes, it can get a bit noisy, but that’s part of the authentic Cantonese yum cha vibe! The restaurant is clean and conveniently located, especially for hotel guests. A solid choice for a casual, satisfying dim sum meal.

Chef Tony is the Chinese restaurant of Courtyard by Marriott Monterey Park, Los Angeles. There is no reservation for lunch, and waiting time can easily be over an hour. Although the hotel restaurant has a high ceiling, it is very noisy, because tables are packed closely together. In addition to being understaffed, most of the waiters are very green, hence inefficient. The dim sum dishes might be considered good in Monterey Park, but they are not particularly cheap, and definitely not worth lining up for.

Good dim sum stop. Currently the dim sum is at a discount, $4.38 on weekdays and $5.38 weekends/holidays. Go while the promotion is on. I feel that they have a larger dim sum selection than most places and they still use carts to let you see and pick what you like. Food tastes great and service was good.

I have been coming here for years and it is so unfortunate they are cutting corners. The xia jiao used to have actual shrimp in it; now it is all mashed up like a meatball and according to their manager it has pork and flour in it. He refused to admit anything about the quality declined and that there was flour in it until we went back and forth and he finally admitted pork and flour were indeed added to it. At least admit to the changes don't bs and lie about it, then admit to it and then try to gaslight us into thinking we can't tell the difference. Why lose loyal customers over a five dollar dish? Very foolish and poor customer service and poor attitude he knew what we were talking about he admitted to the change in quality which made it worse

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
