“Great food, very fresh and at an affordable price! Get their Mai Fun and their yu choy with garlic! Fantastic! It’s a to go place so some food might be cold like the dumplings, still have to try that when I get home. Guy up front is friendly!Vegetarian options: Vegetable dishes“

“I would highly recommend this place for dim sum. However, I must mention that the deep-fried pandan bun (斑斓生煎包) falls below the standard. Nevertheless, every other dish is definitely worth trying. It's a popular spot, the shop is not big so expect to queue before getting a table. The service is average.Parking: You can just find a spot to park in front of the shop. It’s easy to find a parking lot.“

“Great food, made fresh to order, with good portions.The cheung fun are made by hand - you can tell by the slightly irregular shape of the noodles.The shrimp & chives dumplings have fresh fillings. The har gow are also fresh, with the shrimp cooked just right and the wrappers have the right texture and thickness - no splitting!The won ton in the won ton soup are also made in the kitchen, not bought out frozenI've yet to explore the menu beyond the lighter offerings.The service is good, courteous, and prompt.“

“Currently my number 1 dim sum joint beating out Lunasia marginally. Excellent food and has some unique dishes. They tried to make the place look nice but you see what it is. Regardless food trumps all and it’s clean. Let’s see who can topple them!“

“Wah Sing Dim Sum, on San Gabriel Blvd., is just below Las Tunas Drive. The only time they've disappointed me is when I forget they're closed on Wednesdays. Other than that they make some of the yummiest dim sum around. They make my favorite charsiu.... chasu? chashu?? -- anyway, favorite bbq pork steamed bao here. I don't know what makes them so good. I think there's a hint of ginger in that filling. Their stir-fried noodles, $5.89 under the "Chef's Special" section, are also a steal. Their steamed sausage rolls are good as well. I've only ordered my food to-go. I've only seen diners inside one in a while although admittedly I usually stop in the early afternoon. The ladies behind the counter are no nonsense but sweet; they've thrown a sample my way once or twice. The wait for your food can be more than a few minutes, especially if that item you want isn't fully steamed yet, especially if they're busy, but the extra wait is worth it. They're a dim sum hole-in-the-corner of a strip mall dominated by a Good Fortune Supermarket, which means tons of parking. In fact, every single time I've been there, there's always another customer-- or several customers-- waiting to order, or waiting to receive their order. Speaking of ordering, they have the standard golf pencils (next to a bottle of hand sanitizer) for filling out the order form. There are also laminated menus with photos. Wah Sing is a dim sum dark horse that won't disappoint. Unless you go in a Wednesday“

“I stopped by to see what all the fuss was about of this new colette rest.. was a little reluctant from previous ownership. Well I do have to say, Brilliant!!! This churro French toast and avacado toast with the option of an egg was magnificent. On top of the excellent food, I had an absolute amazing experience with the service. Peter I believe was his name, gave us a run down of the menu and gave us one of the best experiences in dining I've had in a long time. If I were you, I'd go check this place out, great service and amazing food! �“

“I seldom went for dinner but tonite a friend wanted to give me a treat. The food ordered are a bit off. Maybe the dishes were not my favourite, maybe the chef at night are not as good as other times. And it’s unusually quiet compared to lunch hours. Anyway, a little bit disappointed!“

“Very friendly and accommodating. Good quality, reasonable prices, quick service. The restaurant is small, only a few tables. In this post pandemic world where more and more of us prefer takeout or dine in, this is a great place for dim sum.“

“Thought it would just be a quick bite of Shanghai Pork Ribs Glutinous Rice Cakes, but flipping through the menu felt like a trip back to Shanghai—each dish a deep-rooted memory!Even so, we went all out and ordered a bunch of dishes. Each one was authentically Shanghai, and I especially recommend the Wine Chicken. Honestly, wanted to try everything on the menu. The Pork Ribs Glutinous Rice Cakes, originally the main attraction, took a back seat. Auntie even brought spicy soy sauce and hot chili powder from Shanghai—selling the sauce for $6 a bottle. The chili powder isn't for sale, but she'll give it to you. Added a new item to the wishlist: Conquer their entire menu!“

Service 5 Stars Everyone here was friendly and moved the line as quickly as possible Ambulance...It's one of those hole in the wallParking... plenty of parking spaces“

“Had dinner with my family last Friday and boy is this place fancy. We arrived around 5:30 and it was pretty empty. There are private rooms and apparently, that's the place to be because our server kept disappearing into those rooms with some amazing dishes of stir-fried clams, crab, and whatnot. But, back to my dinner: we ordered a sampler platter: bbq pork, duck and roast pork with cracklin' skin. The center portion was goma wakame seaweed salad, stir fried string beans with (very salty) minced pork; beef shortribs that were tasty, but kind of tasted like pork (it was definitely beef), fish filet with tender choy sum, seafood soup, and one other dish. If you want steamed fish, it will be market price (pricey, no surprise). Generally, the food was very flavorful and well executed, espcially the veggies and roast pork -- the string beans were the best! I would say some of their dishes are not what I'm used to from other Chinese restaurants flavor profile-wise (not that it's a bad thing), so I'll have to come back to try some of their seafood dishes. Service was pretty good. Our waiter was dressed up and wore gloves. The place has a hotel banquet hall vibe. Seems this place is popular for dimsum as I've heard, so I'll have to come back during the day and see how that goes. Will be back!“

“The red bean puff is so delicious. This is a really good dim sum place I’d highly recommend it. It is now one of my favorite places and I can’t wait to go back. The prices are also very reasonable. Best custard bun I’ve ever had. I did miss choosing the dim sum from the carts though.“

“Haven't been back here since it's been sold from two owners ago. The switch to Shanghai cuisine is nice! I like the way the 馬蘭頭 (Indian Aster) was finely chopped. It's the smallest I've seen anywhere! The 油爆蝦 was cut down the middle to better let the oils get all the way in, making the skin really crisp! Their 外灘香酥鴨 ("Outer Beach" Crisp-Fried duck) was really good. It looked like it would have been dried out, but the juices stayed inside, and still maintained a crispy skin. The 蔥烤立魚 (Scallion-grilled Snapper) was alright, it featured a sweet-soy sort of taste, that smothered the entire fish with. The 紅燒肉 (Red-braised Pork) is pretty standard, but still good! Just make sure to be ready for the Heart attack! Then we topped it off with the 白果污泥甜湯 (Gingko + Tarot Puree Dessert Soup).Parking: Shared with the Tasty Choice. Be careful of parking at the back. Not sure if it belongs to a Chinese church or not.“

“What a cool bag to keep my food warm for togo takeout! Their food is easy to order, I got the combo F4+G4 and D2+E3 for $30+ and $1 Promo Rick bowl. Traditional Hong Kong taste at cha chan ten. Free drink included. Perfect for breakfast and lunch. Call to order it might take up to 40 mins for fresh meal.Parking: Free plaza parking, many restaurants and supermarket while waiting.Kid-friendliness: Open space for any party size.“

“Generous portions and a scrumptious ramen dinner, our family was impressed by the food and service here. Ika and gyozas were a great side.Do ask for the house made chili oil paste: it rocks!Kid-friendliness: Our 8 and 11 year old loved how friendly the service was! Great treats!“

“It was REALLY good food! Absolutely superb! The fried rice was some of the best I've ever tasted! And the Dan Dan noodles were also amazing!We went there for lunch so there was zero wait time and only one other person when we got there. As we finished up there was nearly ten in at the tables, so we beat the rush.The waitress was nice and took our orders quickly. She was a little pushy at the end when she was asking why we hadn't left a bigger tip but that was OK. We're all trying to make ends meet.Overall a great experience! Thanks you!“

“We accidentally went to the original Tasty Box and was informed that we were looking for It's sister location in the same plaza next to Starbucks. The staff were super friendly and moved tables for us. She was so nice and brought filtered water for my kids. There are roughly 8 small tables in the tightly packed restaurant. They menu is pretty big and was super excited that they had pan fried sticky rice which is my daughter's favorite. They also had another hard to find item near us, crispy noodles with gravy. There are very few places near us that do this well. We were super happy with everything we got. Highly recommend the pork chops with honey garlic sauce, braised green beans, and eggplant with pork.“

“Haven't been here since remodeled. Prices are good based on the area, and no need to pay tips because almost everything is self serve. However, service is ok but not every employee has good service. Food is good, and you have to self serve soy sauce or chili sauce etc. Porridge is still an excellent and big portion in my opinion. I like the Pork Chop and the black pepper sauce is the perfect match, and pork chops are not dry. Probably a place will come back for brunch.“

“One of the best places for dim sum you could hope for. Line around the building waiting for it to open. Every table filled shortly after opening and more people waiting outside. Get there early. Luckily my coworker arrived 15 minutes before opening and we were first in line.“

“Good! Good! Good! AAA recommended this dumpling restaurant and I agree with them. The food is fresh, delicious and the portions are generous. I really enjoyed the pork dumplings. They were crispy and juicy and well seasoned. Their scallion pancakes were the best I've had... ever! Thin, crispy and the right balance of scallions. It is a bit pricy but worth the money. I recommend it and will come back!“

“The service is very fast and the portion sizes were very generous! The food is very fresh, and usually if they are out, it'll take them about 10 minutes to steam a new batch. The chicken feet is usually spicy at other restaurants, but this one has a sweeter taste, which is not my preference. The salty egg bun is literally a gooey liquid center, highly recommended!“

“TK Cafe Hawaiian BBQ in uptown Monrovia provided a satisfying experience all around. It’s a small family-run counter serve operation with great Hawaiian inspired plate lunch comfort food, especially for meat lovers.The place is tucked in a corner of the Vons mall at the southwest corner of Myrtle and Foothill, so plenty of free parking. The chef and manager Ken took my order and was very friendly and helpful to recommend certain specialties on their menu.I ordered the Chicken Combo (BBQ Chicken and the crispy Katsu Chicken) and the Hawaiian BBQ Mix (BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef, and substituted Teriyaki Chicken in place of Kalbi Beef). Both plates come with two scoops of white rice and a scoop of Mac Salad. See images.Their BBQ Chicken is definitely a specialty, flavorful, and both combos I received were a generous serving of the moist and flavorful chicken.I would go back the next time I’m in the mood for Hawaiian plate lunch and would recommend 5 stars compared to other local counter serves in Monrovia.“

“Omg one of the best dim sum place I've had! After the pandemic everyone elses' portions (or size) went down but not theirs. I was super surprised to see that each of the familiar items are all the same size as what we're used to. The flavor is outstanding and super authentic! According to the owners the chief was already a sim sum chef back in Hong Kong. We ordered for 2 and it came out to be about $40 ish. Well worth the money especially when everyone else is super expensive. There's only 1 small table outside so don't expect to be able to occupy it. Looks like we'll be a regular here.Kid-friendliness: Owners were really friendly.“
“Taking off a star as they couldn't tell me if there were peanuts in the food, due to my allergy. I hesitated with proceeding with my order, but decided to go for it as I was getting it to-go, and I'd be able to deal with my allergy if it had peanuts. Thankfully I was ok, but I still didn't like that they didn't know.I got the bun bun sampler and the bunny soup dumpling, as it sounded like that's what they were known for. When I went to pick it up, I noticed that they were part of a larger restaurant, which threw me off a bit. The food remained warm by the time I got home, so I didn't need to heat it up. I enjoyed the fried soup a lot. It was different from what I've had before. The bun bun sampler was a bit bready to me but the flavors were satisfying. I probably wouldn't go out of my way for them, but for that moment, it was a satisfying meal.“

“Tried them for the first time the other week. Was on my way from Rancho Mirage to LA and needed to pickup some lunch to bring to some lunch over. This place is right off the San Gabriel exit on Highway 10, so quite convenient. There wasn't much in terms of variety but the food was good except for one item (hom sui gok). The egg tart was the best. The egg filling was very light and the pastry was very flaky. Overall food was very decent but wish they had more variety.“

“Happy Harbor Restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that makes dining there a pleasure. The place looks nice, perfect for celebrations. I tried their truffle pork siu mai, soy sauce chicken, black bean fish filet, walnut shrimp, bbq pork bun, egg tart--all were incredibly delicious. The truffle pork siu mai was a unique twist on a classic dim sum dish and I really loved it, while the soy sauce chicken was tender and flavorful. The fish filet in black bean sauce had the perfect balance of savory flavors, and the walnut shrimp was crunchy and satisfying. To finish off the meal, the egg tart was the perfect sweet treat. Highly recommend trying their dishes for a delightful dining experience!“

“I went to buy takeout on chinese new year. the long queue of lines compared to the restaurant next door was a telling sign the food here must be good. We ordered the beef chow fun and fish fillets. They were still warm and tasty by the time I brought it home. My parents liked the food at this location. We definitely want to come back here to try more of the dishes when we have another family gathering. The waiter that helped take my order was kind even with all the chaos of the chinese new year. My order took a little bit longer to come back due to the large crowds but I was able to run other errands and come back for my food on time when my food was ready.“
