“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.“

“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!“
“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!“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“Ate lunch here for the first time. Ordered dim sum and beef noodles. All were really good. Good flavor, not overtly seasoned and low salt, in fact i had to add some soy sauce to a few items. I prefer to add salt if needed. Great, friendly staff. Highly recommend ????“
“[FOOD] First time here. The food actually was surprisingly decent. I got the following: - ha gow - siu mai - rice beef roll - spare ribs I got too many things to list but it all tasted exactly as it should for some random place in Diamond Bar. [SERVICE] I got service immediately despite a packed restaurant. The meat ball was taking a while and I was given a free item of my choice for waiting. Awesome! [PLACE] The restaurant is small compared to a lot of other dim sums I've been to. I don't think they have the traditional aunties pushing the dim sum carts because of how small the place is. You order and they bring it to you. [VERDICT] This is a solid dim sum spot for Diamond Bar. I would definitely visit again if I was in the area.“
“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.“
“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.“

“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.“
“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.“
