Restaurants in South El Monte

“This is a to go Hong Kong dimsum store and very delicious. I first time came this store. I will visit it again.
In this store has two seats and one table. If you want dine in. I think also okay.”

“AMAZING!! THE BEST PLACE IN SOUTH EL MONTE!! TRY THE LOMO SALTADO ANDA THE TIKI FRIES”

“The first good sign was that I was the only white person there. If the local Vietnamese like the Vietnamese restaurant, it's probably authentic and delicious, and it is. Everything is family style, so be prepared for more food than you expected. The lemongrass chicken was fantastic. I'm looking forward to my next visit.”

“Hand down the best banh cuon and bun rieu in the area. Banh cuon was handmade freshly in the restaurant - it’s so soft but tender at the same time, not as soggy like other banh cuon places. The only minus is that parking is limited and the restaurant is very tiny.”

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s”

“Progress Brewery use to be my go to. However, most of the time they are out of their most popular drinks. Nevertheless, is a chill brewery with a great athmosphere. The outside patio is nice to.”

“The support from our community, friends, students and our friendly staff.”

“To over priced.”

“I have been going for about 4 years really recommend delicious food 🥘 love it 🥰”

“My first time here and I got the 3 taco plate with 2 fish tacos and a carne asada taco. The fish tacos has HUGE pieces of fish inside them and they were very very tasty! The carne asada taco was very delicious as well and a generous amount of meat. The little tajin seasoned better was very good too and I'm not a big fan of peppers like that. The beans and rice were you basic beans and rice. Nothing much to be said more about them. Overall I felt the price was fair considering how stuffed the tacos were. $18 for a 3 taco plate with drink. Would definitely stop again when I'm in the area.”

“Ima be honest and transparent as always this place atmosphere gave it a calm inviting environment. The service was given to us by the owner I would assume and she's also the cook. She was very patient attentive and very caring and helpful only downside is the wait was a little long, we were starving but still worth the wait. Without a question we will be back. Nacho fries were great chilaquiles on point my sister got a nopal and eggs she couldn't stop complimenting the food and she's picky. Flan delicious and the bistek ranchero was great wasn't prepared for the red sauce but gave it an extra kick and the pineapple agua Fresca highly recommend.”

“I wanted some authentic Mexican food and that is what I got, including the amazing warm service from husband and wife. If you're driving by, stop by. The refried beans are so yummy and the food is definitely made with love.”

“This is my first time to eat here. The portion is very generous. I ordered it for takeout. The store will carefully point out the No Tips. Boss, business is booming”

“I come here a lot with my husband and friends but today was very disappointing. I ordered a torta de asada and was very upset. 5 pieces of black aguacate and half a piece of tomato for the entire torta. Than my husband ordered some tacos and the meat wasn’t seasoned and half of the meat was burned. We are very disappointed we have never been disappointed before this is one of our favorite places to go eat. Today the people working their looked new we paid $37 for our food and are upset.”

“Food is always great and services are fast. Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Adriana has provided us great customer service every time! -Waba Grill in South El ”

“Nice little outdoor restaurant, with live music on weekends. The food is limited" but ok overall. I believe people come here more for the atmosphere, the music and have a drink to get distracted a while. Musicians are not all great all the time. And prices for food are a bit high fro what you get. The carnitas are good, not the best.... But they cut them up to finely, not as enjoyable. Staff is ok, they don't check up on you often, so try to order everything the first time or they do take long to come back around. Over all ok place.”

“Ahhhhh ahhhh AHHHHH!

I've found my pho place finally in SGV!!! I frequent Vinh Ky in Garden Grove and I have been on the hunt for the same decadent bowl of pho rhat is closer to me in SGV. Holy Jeebus! I found it and I cant believe it has always been close tk me all along.

Great service & great food! Their chili oil is self serve and very good! Their Che desserts are not bad, too.

The only thing that was lacking is the amount of mint/basil that they serve with their bowls, but I understand since a lot of people dont use them but Im one of those people that wanr to see all green on my bowl. But no sweat, I just asked for more!!

Thanks Pho Hai, I will be back!”

“for the price, it's perfect. i encourage you to order way too much, and definitely get the duck and roast pork.

look, it's not the "worlds best duck" or whatever. but it's SOLID. to me, a solid, consistent place deserves 5 stars. the folks there are nice too. helps if you speak mando or Canto but the menu has English translations. and cash only!!”

“Traditional Teochew Chinese food. One of the long lasting restaurants that serve Teochew flavors. Their Teochew soup noodles are fantastic. Almost everything on the menu will satisfy your cravings.”

“We enjoy hanging out. Yesterday we visited this excellent place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a beautiful experience there with very good meal and a well-trained stuff and an impressive chief cook. We put this fine restaurant in our phone list and we will certainly go again very soon. We deeply recommend.”

“This Vietnamese restaurant might not have the most modern interior or be in the trendiest plaza, but the food and service make up for it. The staff is always friendly, and the dishes are consistently good.

One thing I really appreciate is how vegan and vegetarian-friendly the menu is. There’s a great selection of options for different diets. I tried the bánh canh and bî cúôn and they were flavorful. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or into traditional dishes, they’ve got you covered.

If you’re after solid, no-frills Vietnamese food, this place is worth checking out.”

“Basic pho restaurant with the best pho broth in the San Gabriel Valley. We live down the street from Pho Fillet 2, and we drive past them to come here. The people who run this place are good wholesome families. Parking can be a bit tight, but the food makes up for any shortcomings. My wife is Vietnamese, so I let her take care of the ordering. They speak Vietnamese and English.”

“This is a small little place. Parking is crowded. But...... it's worth it. There really is no room for dining in. This was our first time here it says they open at 10:00 a.m. but he doesn't have the ovens ready till about 10:30 am. It's worth the wait. We ordered a small pepperoni and a pastrami sandwich both were so flavorful. And the service was wonderful with those two combinations we will definitely be back. I do recommend the pastramis a lot of places have pastrami's but they have no flavor, well, this one does. Thank you Renato aka (Jose). Great service.

Parking: There's a lot of Little Stores in this shopping area so parking is kind of scarce but like I said before it's worth it”

“great food, great service, very clean. And spacious. Our family hangout”

“Absolutely love this new pizza place from how the set up to food and drinks .”

“It has been a while since my last visit, but I must commend the consistently high quality of your food. The street tacos, carne fries, and huaraches are not only delicious but also exceptionally appetizing. I highly recommend trying them to experience authentic Mexican cuisine.

Service is friendly!! 💜”

“Mango on snow was very good”

“Their Birria Ramen is pretty good, and their tacos are the best I have found from a local shop so far. Not as great as some street vendors but definitely better than Gavilan and Karina's.”

“This place is an amazing hole in the wall and I don't understand how this is not a franchise by now. I love trying new food places and not my first time having Vietnamese but I will say that this IS my first time having it. This was by far one of the best experiences I've had! Jimmy served us and was amazing! My best friend and I had a great time and we will definitely be coming back out! Thank you so much! ( I tried the Bun bo hue, men lui, banb beo 10/10 I also had Penny worth and basil seed drink and they are also amazing!)”

“This location of this restaurant is in Momte, the food is good, the atmosphere a little poor but calm.. little parking, the comfortable I love it. Comfortable prices

“nice place for a cold beer and banda music”

Muy buen servicio muy amables las personas que venden en este lugar….les recomiendo las agua de pepino,limón y chia… Recomiendo este lugar…”

“Although the store is small, it has all kinds of things, supplies, meat, fruits, vegetables, all are available, the price is very reasonable, and the service attitude is super good ??? ???”

“the cha siu here is always really good. we've been going here for years. I really appreciate that the staff don't make you feel bad for ordering in English.”

“Food flavor is always a 10/10 I just wish the place looked better and had AC. They definitely need to refurbish. If you are in a hurry, order ahead so the food could be ready at pick up. My drive is 10 minutes and its usually ready upon my arrival. Take Cash to avoid the credit card/debit card fee.”

“The most delicious food I’ve ever had. The service was the best possible thanks to Carolina and Christina. Super fresh seafood in very large portions. The restaurant is large and comfortable with a counter bar. The best.”

“This restaurant doesn't have a menu, you need to look at the food behind the glass, or ask the attendant when it's your turn, you (have to wait in this "hole in the wall".) The soups are tastless, the tacos are big most of the time are good except for carne asada that is dry, but $5 for a taco is a little bit too much. I do not recommend this place.?

Parking: Limited and small.”

“Food is good.. service it's ok takes some time during lunch time. Workers are very friendly. I would recommend this place just during rush time it will take ”

“Wow!! $7 for super large fresh pennywort, kumquat, jackfruit, durian, to more Asian fruit drinks!!! Wish this place was closer to me!! Sugar cane and kumquat is a popular choice and I can see why. The SO loved it but I would ask for a little less sugar cane taste for just myself in the future. I got the pennywort and young coconut which came with some coconut pieces and no sweetener!! Love that! Great for sugar free drinkers. But next time, I'll ask to pay to try a little bit of sugar cane to balance the taste out for myself. They also sell bunch of fruits, ready to eat precut fruits and snacks! $10 for large container of jackfruit!! Super friendly lady.

Parking: Plenty of spots. But it's difficult to get into this plaza during traffic times. Located on the corner of 2 busy streets. But there is a driveway opening from both streets. Store is located on first floor.I'll be back!!”
