I love the seaweed rolls as well as the ham sui gok. Most issues you can't go wrong. If you want no nonsense dim sum that you can just grab and go this is a great place.

The aguas frescas are soo good they are full of flavor and not watered down like other places I've been to. This place definately does not disappoint. Cute little restaurant. Definitely recommend 100%. As a Mexican I am very picky and find it hard to find good mexican food while I am out and about. Will definitely come back and bring others with me.”

    “Very good place to get your Peruvian food fix. The menu is pretty diverse. We got the classic lomo saltado and tried the ceviche de pescado. They first gave us bread that was garlic bread surprisingly with the aji sauce. It was delicious and spicy and garlicky. The ceviche de pescado was excellent. It had that tangy citrus orange marinade with lime and with the nuts and corn nuts. The white fish was soft and cooked thoroughly and delicious. The lomo came out in huge portions that surprised me (basically two meals). The sauce and fries went well together with the onions rice and tomatoes. The meat was decent and it all went together well. The table came in a lazy Susan style for family style sharing which is convenient. The waiter was very nice but not very attentive as we had to ask for water and check & boxes by intentionally getting their attention and walking to them for assistance. The decor is very chill and homely with a variety of music in the background. The whole place is very red and decorated with various Peruvian cultural references. Prices are fairly reasonable for the portions you get.”

    “Love the pizza. I wish they would expand their toppings. The one complaint is their online ordering form by Tabit.us is terrible to use. The fields for data entry are too small, and you can’t see if you’ve made an entry error. For example when entering my phone number I accidentally hit one wrong number, and didn’t see it until it went to send the confirmation code to the wrong number. I used the back arrow, and was not able to enter a new phone number. I deleted the whole order, reordered, and it pulled up the wrong phone number again. The only way I was able to place an order was to delete the order AGAIN, log out of the website, log back in, and select NO to Use location? Terrible ordering experience that could easily be fixed with a better form design. It’s not rocket science.”

Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and their signature aioli brought it all together. I would’ve posted a photo, but I absolutely destroyed the sandwich before I even thought about it. Trust me, it was beyond delicious. The portions are huge—I’m taking the other half home, labeling it, and I will literally throw hands if anyone touches it. I already can’t wait to finish it. I’m still blown away that we have a place like this in El Monte. Such an upgrade from the usual Subway or Jersey Mike’s. Great quality, generous portions, and definitely worth what you’re paying. Los, it was so nice meeting you. Thank you for being so welcoming and hospitable. I love that you’re right next to the coffee shop too—perfect combination. I’ll definitely be bringing my family back. Wishing you nothing but success. El Monte needed this! Blessings, Marylou”

Love that combo that comes with ramen bowl, one appetizer and drink for $22.99 very decent price. My favorite is the prom belly ramen, but love that they have a shabu beef ramen... Rare to find and very delicious. Also they all come in regular bowls, but offer hot pots for those who like some more heat. Recommend this place 💯”

BUT if you're looking for some delicious mouth watering dumplings cooked in various forms then you're at the CORRECT place. I brought my mom here and we tried the pork chive regular dumplings, the pan fried beef and cumin dumplings and the regular fried rice. All of it was delicious. Also they give you a complimentary bowl of egg drop corn soup. NOT a small bowl but a good size portion, it was GOOOOOD. I will definitely be back with the rest of the family and I want to try the beef noodle soup. DON'T fall asleep on the fried rice.”

    “Love the pizza. I wish they would expand their toppings. The one complaint is their online ordering form by Tabit.us is terrible to use. The fields for data entry are too small, and you can’t see if you’ve made an entry error. For example when entering my phone number I accidentally hit one wrong number, and didn’t see it until it went to send the confirmation code to the wrong number. I used the back arrow, and was not able to enter a new phone number. I deleted the whole order, reordered, and it pulled up the wrong phone number again. The only way I was able to place an order was to delete the order AGAIN, log out of the website, log back in, and select NO to Use location? Terrible ordering experience that could easily be fixed with a better form design. It’s not rocket science.”

It’s a quick grab-and-go setup, kind of like Panda Express, where you pick 4 items plus your choice of white rice, fried rice, or noodles for only $14. They also offer free tea and free daily soup, which is a nice bonus! Honestly, I think the food tastes way better than Panda Express. I especially enjoyed the free soup—it was delicious! 🤤 They have tons of options, from different proteins and vegetables to vegetarian choices, so there’s something for everyone. So far, so good! I’ll definitely be back to try some of the other dishes. If you’re looking for a quick, tasty, and reasonably priced meal, this is definitely a place to check out! 👍🏻”

    “I've been ordering food from China express for the past 2 years. I'm satisfied all the time. I usually order through uber eats since it's the only way I can get my salt n pepper shrimp lol. It's because when I go in person and ask for it, I get told they don't have that but whenever I order through uber I always get it and it's delicious. (I promise it's the correct restaurant). Either way, the chow mein is great. Fried rice is great too. Not mushy, not dry, perfectly cooked and not overly greasy. Their broccoli beef, spicy fried chicken, and omg the orange chicken. Their orange chicken has a perfect taste and I love that even though it's nicely coated with the sweet glaze, the chicken still maintains it's crunch. (I have a problem with soggy mushy orange chicken from other places). Plus, I always know, that I will always have seconds to for dinner or take for lunch the next day. Plus, it's not overly pricey.”

I'm a drive through person and I normally get the older Spanish speaking woman whom is very sweet, she always asks me about my dog when she sees me since my pup would sometimes go with me to get food and I love that she asks about her or I get Leslie who's also very lovely and sweet. By know I think she already knows what I get by heart since right before she hands me my food she asks if I would like some ketchup and goes no right and I just smile and say no thank you 😂 Best Carl's Jr location over here!”

The location is currently under construction, so just keep that in mind — but the remodel is looking really nice and worth it. The inside decor has a modern feel with touches of art that make it stand out. I also loved seeing that they’ve been established since 1988 — it shows their history in the community and adds a nice, local touch. The staff here are very friendly, respectful, and welcoming. They provide great service and make the experience smooth from start to finish. Another big plus is that this location accepts EBT, which is really helpful. The food was fresh, the service was quick, and they even play good music while you dine in, which adds to the overall vibe. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the South El Monte area — great food, great service, and a cool environment! ⭐🍔🎶”

Food is well made, perfectly sauced, flavored, and in clean dishes. There is music in the background, soft atmosphere.

    “This place is great if you're in the mood for some menudo. The ingredients are all prepared separately, which is great if you don't like all the ingredients like pata and hominy. The con however is the tripe does not get the opportunity to develop flavor from the broth nor the broth from the other ingredients. The broth on its own is well seasoned with great flavor so it doesn't fall short, but it is missing the depth of flavor. On the pro side the broth is clean without any grease, and you can oder it to your liking.”

    “El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice. The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet. Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.”

Look forward to trying more items. Updated: Their strawberry matcha latte and horchata latte are amazing today, paired with their wonderful customer service. I look forward to trying their banana one some time. Their matcha horchata and strawberry mango Fresca are good too.

The yucca fries unfortunately were not, bland and didn't feel cooked thru. I ordered both a family and individual meal and requested rolls instead of tortillas. When I got home, there was only one roll and no tortillas. So insulting and luckily I had tortillas as home but i was so bummed, because the roll was really good. I'll come back, but next time.

    “Very good place to get your Peruvian food fix. The menu is pretty diverse. We got the classic lomo saltado and tried the ceviche de pescado. They first gave us bread that was garlic bread surprisingly with the aji sauce. It was delicious and spicy and garlicky. The ceviche de pescado was excellent. It had that tangy citrus orange marinade with lime and with the nuts and corn nuts. The white fish was soft and cooked thoroughly and delicious. The lomo came out in huge portions that surprised me (basically two meals). The sauce and fries went well together with the onions rice and tomatoes. The meat was decent and it all went together well. The table came in a lazy Susan style for family style sharing which is convenient. The waiter was very nice but not very attentive as we had to ask for water and check & boxes by intentionally getting their attention and walking to them for assistance. The decor is very chill and homely with a variety of music in the background. The whole place is very red and decorated with various Peruvian cultural references. Prices are fairly reasonable for the portions you get.”
