“Very good food. Dim sum options are made to order, the serving size of the dim sum dishes are somewhat larger than others. Crispy stuffed chicken is actually shrimp/pork stuffed between fried crispy chicken skin. Black truffle friend rice is excellent too. Friendly staff. Location is somewhat hard to find because from the outside it kinda looks like a motel. Indoor decor has a Spanish cafe feel to it, which seemed odd, but who cares it's great food.“
“The food at Henry's restaurant is delicious, with top-quality ingredients. You can't get enough of the Vietnamese lobster noodles, and the beef tenderloin melts in your mouth. It never disappoints. You can try it, you will definitely like it!“
“The place it's beautiful on the back has a little place whit plant an tarp so can enjoy outdoor whit a heating system if feel cold and the ambient it's nice for Saturday dinner and the food we'll it's Japanese food it's delicious enjoy“
“I’ve visited the one in Cerritos many times. This one is more traditional in terms of design and layout. The tables are a bit uncomfortable on two sides because the table jams into your leg. However, the food is to die for. The food is so good. Stop by and have some dim sum. The string beans are also amazing.“
“There's a reason why NBC Seafood has been in business for so many years. If you know Monterey Park and Alhambra area well, you'd see restaurants come and go so often that it would not be a surprise if you go to the same restaurant the second time and the name has been changed .NBC Seafood is a very good and authentic Cantonese food restaurant. Great place for a family gathering. Food is fantastic and quickly served. Everything seems to come out all at the same time so you'd get to enjoy everything at the same time.We had a party of 9 and we had a great time. And they always give free desserts.I highly recommend this place.“
“This is a nice and simple no frills place, you go in, you point to what you want and they package it for you to go. No sit down area. I didn’t see a menu explaining any of the dishes, so I was a little confused on what to do when I initially arrived. Please be prepared to order when it’s your turn, otherwise it might be a little intimidatingThe food though, so good and good price for dim sum with great flavors“
“They are known for their 譚仔阿姐 with her infamously quirky-accented Cantonese, and if you're expecting that, sorry! Service was nice though, just a little rough around the edges with some of the staff. Still not bad, and still professional.Food is decently priced, and not bad. Didn't disappoint at all! I'm glad I tried their house noodles they're famous for ?. The 魚蛋 (fish ball) is not shaped like a ball, more like they just scooped it and then made it in that shape without balling it up, but that's OK! Actually makes it easier to pick up with chopsticks ?. After finishing halfway through, I thought the toppings:noodle ratio was good, but was afraid the soup ratio to both might have been lacking. But really, the shape of the bowl is much deeper than you think. In the end, the Noodle:Topping:Broth ratio was actually PERFECT ?!My friend had the 雙拼湯麵 (Two-Topping Soup Noodles) with 雲吞 (Wonton) & 牛腩( Beef Plate), which is normally my go-to. He's not a thin noodles guy, but he thought it was flavorful. Plus, the noodles were springy!Their 蝦腸粉 (Shrimp Rice Rolls) looked a little messy, but was really good! Sauce was savory, slightly sweet, and the rice rolls themselves were really smooth! Wrinkly and folded up, yes, but it's the softest and smoothest I've had in a while.咖央西多士 (Kaya Toast) was interesting! If you're wondering what Kaya is, it's coconut jam. Admittedly though, the spread inside was a bit too thin for me. I would've liked a more liberal lathering of that Kaya. Otherwise, the cut of the thick bread ? all toasted up with egg batter around was OK. I wonder how it would've been if they soaked that bread in milk ahead of time though... ? Still worth ordering! Oh, and they bring out a thing of 蜜糖honey ? for it, but I'd rather pour the 煉奶 condensed milk over it, that's intended for the 奶茶 (milk tea).Which leads me to the segue into 奶茶. A little tame. Not heavy on the flavor. Really needed the condensed milk to give it some. But a good milk tea should have that nice Assam Tea smell to it. Although, not a lot of good milk tea places around the area, so what's given here is about par average.Parking: Parking used to be easy here, despite the weird design of the lot, which has more parking on the bottom. But then, the restaurant options got better, and holy mackerel! It got SUPER tight! Navigating here is no joke! People are trying to come in and out, you don't know whose coming from where, or how to fit.“
“Yummy Cantonese Chinese food: NO MSG!What a cozy joint- so glad we found this hole in the wall in Chinatown :). It’s family run and the owner and server were both so warm and down to earth! They pride themselves in NOT using MSG in their food and make an effort to reduce the use of salt/oil. I loved their Chicken Porridge (congee) which is often a difficult dish to find in Chinese restaurants, and their Salt & Pepper squid was so delicious! The restaurant fills up quickly as it’s a small operation, but you won’t be disappointed! Can’t wait to be back :)Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs :)“
“Fast service, the crispiest roast pork I've had, friendly servers. It was not so crowded on a week night for dinner and some - some couples, some folks alone. There's also a separate room on the side that seems like it could fit 30-50. Dying to try the crispy pork belly! Big portions. I'll definitely come back.“
“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“
“(Translated by Google) Ordered the day before yesterday, Farewell My Concubine, I don’t remember taking photos until the food arrives. just! There is also his watery fish soup!(Original)前日订咗，霸王别姬，好食到出嚟先记得唔记得影相。正！仲有佢个水鱼汤！“
“Tried the recommended breakfast combo with hot coffee. Would recommend at least two or more to avoid a heavy carb meal/get some protein within budget.Parking: Came during non-rush hours. No comment on rush hours. Having a free parking lot is a plus in this neighborhood.“
“Hands down the one of the most authentic Hong Kong style cafe in LA: great cafe food, great pricing, and mediocre service. Their chicken steak baked spaghetti, pork chop pineapple bun sandwiches and red bean iced milk drink is my go-to favorite.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly, lots of people bring their kids“
“I've been coming here since 2018, and I come here at least once every month. For me, it's the only restaurant I visit consistently! As I get bored with most places I eat at. The food is great, but be warned, bring a buddy bc they serve you feast style. You can't just get one side. You gotta get a minimum of 3 sides, and so bring a person with you to enjoy it fully! Nice and quiet, and has an old-school feel without all the drab. I really live eating here! The dumplings are great! I recommend uuhhh any of them!“
“As other reviews have stated, if you can tolerate the service, give this place a try. A lady next to our table ordered appetizers and we got our food before her (even though it appeared as though she had been there for a while, she already had food at her table). Staff delivers your food quietly and doesn't really ask you what you need, you need to speak up. Food is amazing (I got the house noodle soup) and cooked just right. Wait time wasn't too bad but again, service could've been better.“
“We went here on Sat around 12:00 noon. The plaza is doing remodeling now. You only can take elevator to the restaurant on the 5th floor. You check in with a lady and she gives you a ticket with a number. You wait in the lobby till your number is called.The service is slow and you need to be aggressive to ask for food, and services. Overall experience is fun and food is good.“
“We love this restaurant for dim sum and regular meals. The Chinese broccoli is bright green, tender and tasty. The beef tenderloin is melt- in -your mouth delicious ! My favorite is the steamed turnip cakes (dim sum).Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to bring in wheelchair“
“This place never fails to provide great service and yummy, hot, fresh, authentic, Chinese food!They haven't changed throughout the generations. They keep it coming! Bomb!Vegetarian options: You can order anything without meat.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level. Easy access.“
“An excellent hole in the wall that satisfies all taste buds in one sitting! I am ALWAYS craving their noodles! Both affordable and tasteful. It doesn't get better than this--even a noodle house doesn't top their food.There's a variety of options, but they're known for their infamous wonton noodle soup! People tend to pair it with some delicious "Chinese donuts"“
“It's been awhile since we had dim sum! Came here, saw a long line but decided to stay and wait, glad we did! While the line looked long but the wait wasn't too bad... every servers here were working fast and attentive to everyone as quickly as they could. Before you know it, we were in front of the line to place our orders!Food 5 Stars Everything we ordered tasted delish! 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“
“This business has been around I believe since the 1960's ?Our family ? enjoys the pepper beef chowfun,pork or beef brown rice and sweet and sour pork with almond chicken ? ? and beef broccoli ?ALL IN ONE DINNER!Plus haven't gone wrong with adding many other items on the menu.Staff always ready to explain the menu and suggestions on ordering“
“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 clear noodle soup is highly recommended! If you like light food and are tired of American food, you will miss the Asian taste. Braised pork with prunes and fried pork intestines are very good??The restaurant is not big, but it is clean.“
“This has to be the best Hong Kong style Cafe there is in Monterey Park. Very unique and delicious plates. Try the char siu cheung fun (thick rice noodles with BBQ pork), it'll melt in your mouth. The way they make the noodles is just very different. Their Hainan chicken is awesome. Too many items to choose from. Everything is good. Parking is underground and very convenient, given the fact that Monterey Park is so crowded.I highly recommend this place.“
“We enjoyed the filet of fish in bean sauce, lychee shrimp, and beef with broccoli. The streamed chicken needed more flavor, was somewhat dry, and had the challenge of having to eat around bones. However, the other dishes made the meal worthwhile.Parking: Parking lot across the street from restaurant.“
“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.“
“Even if the interior needs a lot of work, the food doesn't. The roast pork is divine! So crispy on the outside and juicy and tasty on the inside. Dip it into the hoisen sauce, and it's perfect. I couldn't try the char sui because they ran out the day I went (late). I will try it next time with the roast duck. It's $21.99/lb for the roast pig. It's well worth it. I also got the eggplant shezwan style, dry string beans, salt & pepper rock cod fish fleet, and clams with black bean sauce. All of it was superb, not too salty, as a lot of Chinese food can be. This is my new go-to Chinese BBQ place from now on!“
“Delicious Hong Kong-style drinks, dishes and entrees selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the San Gabriel side of the valley. Service is always pleasant and the wait staff are the nicest people that you can find in any Hong Kong-style restaurants. They are always polite and respectful. Food wise, is always a delicious delight! We are frequent patrons and love everything about this cafe.“
“The price is affordable, imperial concubine chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised tofu, fish stick fried rice, all are delicious dishes. Here are just a few pictures of the dishes. There are also a few delicious dishes that I haven’t taken pictures of yet, because I kept waiting while the dishes were being served. I was too busy eating to take pictures. Hahaha ???“
“It's now named as Taste of MP. New ownership? Not sure! But the lady manger is still in charge that I see.Many times that I went was for lunch. The price is fair. Volume is good. Quality is better than fair. Service is excellent. I enjoyed a lot is the house soup that is served with the meal without extra charge. If you don't know, let me say that most of the time the Cantonese soup is cooked using best fit seasonal ingredients to help maintain good balance of Yin Yang of one's physiological being. The six private rooms is also a plus. Although they are not sound proof, but do provide some degree of privacy for us to have a private party without curious eyes looking at us. Ok to return.I am posting 4 stars only because the fifth is for improvements going forward.“
“My family has been ordering from them for Lunar New Year for many years now. They offer a lot of good Chinese dishes for a reasonable price. I took off a few stars because we tried to order over the phone in advance on CNY eve, and they said they don't take pre orders. That's fine, we called like they recommended about 1-2 hours before our desired time. We called so many times and no one picked up because their lines were so busy. I wished they would just take orders earlier in the day so we don't have to physically go in person to order and wait. When we got there in person, we were informed it'll take about 30 min to an hr. Sure, that's fine as well. We waited and waited and saw people who came after us, leave with food. I checked with the staff and it turns out, they left our food on the table without informing us, despite them taking down my number and telling me they'll give me a call when it's ready. I wished the service would be better or they have a better system on peak holidays.Parking: sucks on holidays. But that's expected. So park on the street and walk in if you can.“
“A very ok standard Hong Kong style noodle and jook place. The rice rolls were soft and silky, very delicious. The wonton noodles broth was not super salty but still umami. The wontons were fairly large with a visible bite of shrimp inside. I probably judged this bowl unfairly as the memory of wontons in Hong Kong is still fresh in my mind last week, but the noodles itself is soft and doesn't have that springy wonton noodle texture. Service is super chill and was just one lady when we were there. The menu is pretty simple and straightforward. I probably will come back to try their congee and other stir fry dishes.“
Cantonese • $$
“The food is good, depends obviously what you try. The food is warm and there is a variety to try. The workers need to be called to get the bill.They do have chicken feet, octopus and many shrimp dishes. They give tea and water to every table. Finding the restaurant is complicated and you have to follow the sign outside.Wheelchair accessibility: Not friendly for people with disabilities.“
“Not my mom's first choice for lunch special but close and easy. $10.99 dishes, 9am-930pm all day special (dine-in) in Alhambra. It's decent, if you ignore some sanitary issues. The chicken, and Chinese cauliflower are popular worth it choices. Food isn't too salty and oily which is nice. I liked that this place was on the lighter side of taste unlike other canto, or regional Chinese cuisine places with lunch special. For $10.50+ and comes with rice, it's hard to complain at that price with the portion size they offer.For Friday lunch time, it seems crowded and filled with seniors like my mom who loves deals over quality at times, and non-Chinese or tourist looking eaters....similar to ppl I would see at Mama Lu's in mpk. We've been here before but guess I forgot it. I would place it like a 3.5 stars and just rounded up because of it's amazing prices.The SO was craving fried rice. This place is not a fried rice place. But I did enjoy that it wasn't greasy or overly salty. If anything, it needed more salt.My kinda dirty napkin and cup were a turn off. I flipped my clean looking napkin to find that it was a little dirty in the back. I guess they aren't wasteful? I'm just hoping everything else is clean enough?“
“It is a classic Hong Kong-style diner that's wallet-friendly and a neighborhood favorite. I've known JJ Hong Kong Cafe since early 2013 and just rediscovered it again! My boyfriend and I were looking for HK food and this restaurant came up on our Google search. Everything from the backdoor entrance to the window seat my parents and I sat before, the memories came rushing back! I'm so glad to see they offered all my favorites, plus, a wide variety of options from baked pastas to club sandwiches to sizzling pots - all of which reflect the mix of Asian and Western culture. We enjoyed 4 dishes: Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings 椒鹽雞翼, Salt & Pepper Tofu, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce 鱼香茄子, and New York Steak. We ordered to take leftovers home because we got too excited with the feeling of nostalgia. The portion sizes were generous, especially considering the reasonable prices. While everything wasn't mind-blowingly amazing, it certainly delivers great value for the price. I did wish the dishes were served at a higher temperature, or maybe it got cold pretty quickly because of the cold weather - not sure. The Eggplant with Garlic Sauce 鱼香茄子 was my favorite out of all 4 dishes - the eggplant was cooked perfectly soft and had a generous coating of the sauce. My boyfriend was pleasantly surprised at the New York Steak's portion and thoroughly enjoyed it! The restaurant is located right on the corner of Garvey and Ynez Avenue so you can't miss it. Parking is located in the back of the restaurant lot on Ynez Avenue. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a great experience and took note they are open till 1 AM Friday-Sunday and 12 AM regularly. We will definitely be back!“
“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.“
“Nestled in its modest space, Mr. Champion invites patrons to savor the essence of Cantonese cuisine with a menu that may be succinct but is rich in authentic flavors. The small size of the restaurant doesn't hinder its service; on the contrary, the staff's attentiveness adds to the overall dining experience.During our visit, we sampled the BBQ pork rice roll and the fried rice noodle with shredded pork. The culinary magic unfolded as each bite revealed a symphony of flavors, highlighting the skillful use of the wok, resulting in that coveted wok hei essence. The dishes were not only delicious but also a testament to the restaurant's dedication to maintaining the true spirit of Cantonese cooking.The rice rolls, while undoubtedly tasty, did leave us wanting more due to their petite portions. However, the quality of the ingredients and the expert execution compensated for the size. It's worth noting that Mr. Champion is an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic Cantonese breakfast or lunch experience. The simplicity of the menu ensures a focus on quality, making it a haven for aficionados of comforting Cantonese cuisine.“
“I came to eat on Monday during dinner time. There was no one in the restaurant, so the waiter asked me to choose a seat. I ordered Wenchang Chicken, which tasted good. There was an additional charge for swiping the card at checkout, but I was not informed at the time.“
“Specialty Chang Fun restaurant? Count me in! Their Chang fun had such amazing texture- it was thin but had that je ne sais quoi. It almost as good as the one in Flushing, NY but they have much more varieties of flavor here. I was expecting the typical umami sauce like at dim sum places so their milder sauce took me aback. I'm guessing it's because they want the ingredients to shine, which it really did. To order:They give you a menu picture, a pen, and a scratch paper. Each menu item has a number, which you write on the scratch paper and hand to the waiter to order. Got the:1) pork & shrimp Chang fun: 9/10- Delicious and lots of ingredients - shrimp was a great texture, I only wish it was a tad bit bigger2) The fish rice noodle was amazing: 10/10- the fish was very soft and tender and just falls apart in your chopsticks. - They also seasoned the fish really well with white pepper - would get again and again3) beef stew Chang fun: 8/10- looks like their beef stew is very popular because they have many items with beef stew and I watched him scoop some from a large vat 4) egg Chang fun: 8/10- great, I mean, It's eggs in rice noodle, what else is there to say?5) chicken Chang fun: 9/10- one word: scrumptious 6) Preserved egg and pork congee: 9/10- the theme of this restaurant has been amazing texture- and this congee had exemplary texture- it was perfectly thick and had lots of ingredients - it comes with some chopped veggies and cilantro- I only wish there was more cilantro - there's white pepper on the table if you want to add any Can't wait to come back again. They get a bonus in my book for playing 90's HK films on TV, lol.“
“First time dining in at Lunasia Pasadena and it won't be our last! We attended an event at the Pasadena convention center on 3/9/24. We walked around to find a good place for dinner and Yelp guided us to. Lunasia. We checked in and got on the waitlist. A few minutes later, we were greeted and got seated. It was nice to not have to wait for a while as the restaurant seemed busy. We placed our order online and not long after, our food started to arrive. Everything was delicious! We ordered a lot! Shumai, hargow, seafood pan fried noodles, salt and pepper suid, salt and pepper pork chops, orange chicken, shrimp eggrolls, pork soup dumplings, deep fried chicken wings, pork puff and sesame red bean balls. Everything was tasty and delicious! How you expect some food to be crunchy, they were crunchy! Those that are supposed to be moist and juicy, they were! The flavors of each item were on point! Can't stop talking about how good the food was. Prices are comparable to others. Servings were good portions. Service was friendly and efficient. The staff worked as a team and they took care of everyone that needed anything. The ambiance was also great. Modern and clean. They also have an upstairs so they can accommodate large groups. They are located in Pasadena on Colorado blvd. We parked at PCC for $15 and it was worth it. It was close to a mall and other restaurants. If you haven't tried Lunasia and you love shumai, you have to try this place bc you will love everything about it!“
