Restaurants in El Monte

“Best roast duck!!! I always thought Sam Woo was the best , but their duck is delicious. Everything was freshly made!!”

“Came here pretty much when they opened for the day, there was already some people inside for a Saturday. When we finished eating, the restaurant was barely half full?

Food wise, the bbq meats are pretty decent cuts for what you pay for and the big shrimp we ordered is actually pretty good. They didn't have a real fishy smell, which is a plus, knowing some places just serve what they have sitting out.

There is a sauce bar with appetizers near the front of the restaurant, the bar itself is already baked into the price, there isn't any extra fee. There is also a self serve sherbet freezer with three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and rainbow, as of writing this.

For the non grill foods, the soup and cold noodles are decently portion, definitely should split it up with others so you don't overfill. The popcorn chicken can be ordered as a half order, and to my surprise, it actually is pretty decent in terms of texture and juiciness, only downside is I wish they used some spice in the coating to give it a bit more oomph.

Overall, if I am ever in the area here, I might consider coming back when I'm looking for AYCE.”

“Definitely come here since im s vegetarian i love the vegetable bowl... beyond great and also the vege springs rolls”

“Phenomenal Mexican food. Probably top 3 mole in LA area. Service is impeccable and the food was great. Friend said his shrimp tacos was the best he's ever had!”

“This place was so delicious! I got the pozole rojo, add some toppings, their red salsa, and tostadas and sooo good!! My husband got tacos and finished them before I could even get started with my food! The owners were so sweet and attentive. Their agua de Jamaica and pina was DELICIOUS! Will most definitely be coming back!”

“Thursday12/7/23 Dinner at Quan De 7 Mon restaurant in El Monte with my cousin and friend Jimmy. Enjoying lots of my cravings: grilled shrimps, baby clams, hot pot, and fried tofu with shredded dried pork and satay green onions. It hits multiple spots in my tummy and for sure I’ll be sleeping with a big smile tonight. I am blessed and know when I look back on this day, it would be one of many joyous times.Service staffs were friendly and attentive.Asian bar & grill environment.David YoungRestaurant Enthusiast”

“Viva Zapata makes some delicious homemade [VEGAN] gorditas as well as some delicious home made natural drinks. Good customer service and great prices. How about the name of the restaurant? Viva Zapata!! Love it!!”

“The most authentic Nanjing Salty Duck, I have bought from this restaurant for years! The old owner was from Nanjing and the recipe was from the most famous duck restaurant in that region, but sadly after Covid they only provided take out service, it still the same quality even after the new owner took over the store!
Their duck were purchased from different state, less fat and more tender meet, and the cutting skill kept the way it should be, each piece is thinner and neat!

Parking: Always has plenty of space”

“two days ago was the first time in this place. But It is no doubt not the last. We had great time with the courteous service, with the magnificent cooking and fine drinks and with the friendly pay. We will surely come back soon.”

“Su grande pista de baile y siempre buenos eventos con el mejor ambiente y muncha seguridad”

“Todo esta muy sabroso todo esta echo al momento todo es fresco recomendado al 💯 %”

“The shrimp cocktails were so delicious. Soft tacos were good, too. Broken seats are very old furniture booths. The owner was busy on her phone earpiece to give us her full attention I felt.

Kid-friendliness: I saw high chairs”

“Caution! Don't try to enter from the back... when I went, I wasn't the only one who pulled the door ?. The food and fresh waters are delicious. The workers are very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very calm. You eat very comfortably here.
Ps. For all those who complain about the waiter...some advice...smile!”

“This food is so good is yummy and I enjoy it so much with my family. I will recommend to go there it is good and it cheap and it is a good to choose the food on the menu. I am telling you when I go to other states the food over there is not good. This place is very good and I will like to go back there someday and I will recommend if people that like to eat Chinese food. Then try this place! I hope you enjoy.

Kid-friendliness: They are so kind and friendly and they are treating us like a premium customer”

“This is the most authentic skewers shop I have ever eaten in Los Angeles. My friends and I often go there. They also have Taiwanese barbecued sausages. The street starch sausages we eat in China? Malatang are also very authentic?

Parking: There are very few parking spaces at their house. Almost every time I go there, I have to park on the street. It is easy to find on the street.”

“Food was ok service ok atmospher was average, unfortunally they don't have a heading for prices. The prices have gone up considerable high. For 1 person be prepared to spend 15 dollars and over. Food is not really that special just another chicken place”

“Staff are awesome!! Yogurt is very yummy!”

“Authentic dumpling recipe from China. Freshly made by the owner
Great friendly service. You can buy a different flavor of ( uncook) dumplings in bags for take home parties as well. Any fan of dumplings, should try it out !

Vegetarian options: A simple* affordable spot to try authentic Chinese dumpling dishes

Kid-friendliness: Not too spicy dishes”

“Everyone so nice to us. Really enjoyed the restaurant and its employees”

“Amazing food, service, and vibes. Chan is the man, and his food is so good, especially the lemon pepper wings. Perfection. Sliders were so good, bun toasted to perfection. They have a nice patio and service was super fast. Highly recommend!”

“The Jolly Jug is one of those iconic places that can never be duplicated. The original Jolly Jug was in South El Monte in the 1930s and people came from all around to eat their famous Pastrami’s and Beef Dip sandwiches. Going into another century of their delicious food and cold beer, you can’t go wrong by making a pit stop here. In a world of hip restaurants trying to reinvent LA cuisine, the Jug is comfort food, done right. ❤️”

“Amazing food! Nice service and friendly owner!”

“I had a bowl of pho at Pho 99 and it was amazing! The broth was rich and flavorful, the beef was tender, and the noodles were just right. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The staff was friendly and the place was clean and cozy. Highly recommend for pho lovers!”

“You will never get a sub quite as lovely as these. I don’t know why they’re so good, maybe fresh bread and fresh ingredients IDK but Turkey extra chili is my fave!! Mom loves Milanesa and the fried sides are YUMM too! I learned how to make my voice heard at the old little market. The big construction men at lunch time would be shouting out their orders. I was 11 years old and had to shout my order too!! Been a patron since 1982!!”

“Love this family owned restaurant that caters to ALL but especially vegetarian people! It’s always great finding a yummy cultural vegetarian based restaurant. I love their food!”

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu”

“great meal and very Pleasant service..”

“This is great comfort food like Mom would make. The tortillas are awesome and the birria is juicy and tender! Highly recommend.”

“The bolo bao ice cream sandwich was the bomb! I had it with ube ice cream. The garlic fries - lots of fresh garlic with a side of bomb lemon aoili and house sauce! The best! Passionfruit green tea was perfect for the hot weather! So cute inside too! It's a smaller space and a one man show. Everything is made fresh so please be patient - it's worth the wait! Great service! It's a hidden gem to the right of BofA in the plaza. — at CrispyandFluffed.”

“Very nice and the staff are very good, they help you if you don't know how to use the screen to make your order, I give them a 10

This days is hard to find a place that carries all and this is by far one of the best places for me in El Monte.”

“Ordered the Supreme Combo Sandwich today. What a great cold cut sub. Everything fresh and lots of it. These guys weren't greedy on the meat or veggies. 👍”

“First time visiting, lived in El Monte for 5 years never knew this place was here; small but spacious nice little diner to come have a meal. I had the French Toast Combo with a large orange juice came out to $22.20. With a $7.80 tip came to $30 flat. Food was fine/delicious, place seemed clean. Lot of help in the kitchen, pretty fast service, no complaints. The atmosphere gives like veterans POW/Elk Lodge/small town/diner vibes, a handful of older(40/50+) dudes, a young teen couple and a family with toddler was here when I sat in at 10am on Wednesday morning. Parking: I was able to find a spot,but it is limited-if busy.”

“Love this place! The food was amazing! Everything that we got was really tasty. The Mac'nut banana pancakes are So Good! I couldn't stop eating the pancakes even after I got full. The portions are big and filling, definitely worth it. The place was lovely and staff was super friendly.”

“Sus nieves rikisimas los tostilocos para chuparse los dedos se las recomiendo!”

“The food was really however you had to pay like 2 dollars for each additional topping which wouldn't be so bad if it were a sharable size so more than one person could use them

Kid-friendliness: Not many kid friendly options”

“Free house special tea, choices of hot or ice cold. Yummy duck with refresh salad under neath it. First time to taste fried shredded banana flower on the side of the salad.
Super friendly waitress and waiter

“I go there all the time! If you havn't been there make sure you go soon!”

““On a wonderful weekend day, my family and I went to MIỀN TÂY restaurant. We really liked this place; it was clean and spacious, with friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious, and we will definitely come back again soon.””

“This is the “Omg, this is good! Where did you get your cake from?” kind of place. Their cakes are sooo delicious. I love how their cakes are not overpowered with sugar like most cakes. It’s a fluffy flavorful bite of goodness.

They were kind enough to accommodated my last minute request. They did a great job on my sons cake. Don’t waste your time googling anymore bakeries, this is it. Ps- make sure to taste their butterfly twist crisp at check out, so good.”

“This is a wonderful way to cater a fun party! The caterers arrive and set up their grill/fry station, sides, etc. We had them use a side patio which worked out great. The menu choices were fantastic, and the food was delicious! Everyone commented on how delicious the tacos, quesadillas and potato taquitos all were. Definitely recommended!”

“Buenisimos., apenas los probamos semana pasada y volveremos pronto!...”

“I have made boba stops every day this week while I’ve been in LA. I had the strawberry matcha drink. It was decent for what it is but the strawberry that is used seems to be a syrup base which wasn’t my personal preference. Reminded me of what gets used in a McDonalds strawberry sundae.

Again drink was not bad, just wasn’t my personal preference from other strawberry matches he had.

I found the cafe very cute and spacious :)”

“They used to be New Wok on Peck Rd next to the dealership in the shopping center! They are the best Wok in El Monte! I almost cried after eating their food. We tried other Woks from 5 different cities, NONE of them compare! Have been a customer since I was a kid! So happy they are reopen! It’s our first visit to their new location.

Their rice in this visit was a bit too salty and taste slightly different too. But, their signature chow mein is SO good! No other place compares! Their egg roles are also delicious too! Their food quantity is just as big too! You really get your bang for your buck:

2 combo is like $10-$11 and the 3 combo is $12.49ish.

They used to have vegetarian/pescatarian options, but not anymore. I hope they have more veggie and seafood options!”

“Excellent Seafood I recommend it very good service

Parking: Enough parking..

Kid-friendliness: Yes Of course meals for children and services”

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!”

“Tacos go craaaaaaazy. I fear, once you go vapor tacos you never go back.

Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had.
The meat was cooked to perfection and chopped up very well.

The salsa bar fire ? cucumbers, limes, radish

Loved both green and red which is rare. Usually green salsa is superior but here you’re left drenching both.

Coming back for sure

**pictured is asada tacos ????”

“Amazing food and the tacos are really good”

“Good clean little Vietnamese restaurant near Sam's Club in El Monte. Pho broth was light and tasty, and not heavily laced with MSG like some other restaurants. Nice staff.”

“La vdd todo RIQUISIMOOO el sarandeado las empanadas de camarón �� ��� delicioso y el agua de cirula OMG ricaaaa !!�� .... me quite el antojo de empanadas que traía ���. Muchas gracias por su atención ��”

“This is definitely one of those hidden gems. Had a crazy work day running around when I decided to pull in and just have a nice little lunch. Boy did they deliver. One of the best wet burritos I've ever had. The Al Pastor was marinated and cooked to perfection with the wonderful green sauce having a playful kick (not too hot but not boring). The mix of flavors worked wonderfully leaving me very full and very satisfied. Wonderful little place with friendly service and sad that it's so far from where I actually live. Highly recommend”

“Really good Peruvian Food we had the whole chicken 2 of them and 3 Lomo saltados with rice n beans homemade flour tortillas nd all the sauces they had were really good. Delicious grub..”

“I've been coming to this specific Dennys for years..Thier staff are awesome..keep up the good work..my only issue was it was a bit warm in there..the temperature needs to be regulated as the day goes on..but everything else is 💯 thank you!”

“Cash ONLY spot. But it's worth it to carry around cash. Juicy flamebroiled burgers. Crispy fries. They have a lot of food options. Fast amd friendly service. Fresh ingredients. You can also get chili cheese fries with your combo. The best chili cheese fries I've had in a long time. Paid $35 for 2 double cheeseburger combos with chili cheese fries and drinks.

Parking: Few parking spots in front, but it's located in a small shopping center with extra parking. It reminds me of the old car hop burger spots because the parking is right in front of the outside order window.”

“the hamburgers the chicken plate tje Good customer serves.been coming here for the last 35 year's.”

“la comida mui rica el servicio excelente lo recomiendo 💯%👌👍”

“Valerie L and Courtney were both kind and helpful. Valerie told me about their specials and Courtney didn’t have me wait a long time for my drink. The food was cooked fresh and the atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming.

Kid-friendliness: They have an arcade to keep the kids busy”

“I've been eating there & Take out about 25years. Never had any issues , with the owner or staff. Sometimes a bit hard to understand. Not a problem. Prices are right the food is great. If your hungry & in El Monte & in the mood for Chinese. You can't miss. Really.”

“i just want to take a second to appreciate how incredible the poki bowl was. if i get my hands on the maker im gonna give them a big smooch. this was so incredible, and truely a toe curling experience. these bad reviews geniuenly pmo because it was such a big portion and was so yummy and fresh. please don’t let me catch you irl because im not letting you go, thank you for your service.
i naming my first child after this place.

i would send what it looked like at first but the second i saw it i ripped it open like a rabid animal and just started shoving it in my face

the gyoza was super good too with a nice crunch

god bless yall”

“Their banh canh is the standout. They use this flour that you don’t find most places and is very nice and it is like the countryside. bun bo hue is good but it did not stand out! Ladies were very nice and come and try their banh canh!”

“very good comfort food that you can really dig into<3”

“Small, take out only, mom and pop dim sum hidden gem!! Good prices, super fast service, and the best dim sum i’ve had in the SGV so far. All of the items had HUGE fillings-the biggest and fattest shu mai i’ve ever had. Chive dumpling had the thinnest most see through wrapper. Loved the egg tarts they were super soft, flakey, and the filling was still soft and jiggly but set perfectly. The pineapple egg yolk buns were incredible too. Everything seasoned well. You can tell they know what they’re doing. The only minor comment is that the shrimp rice roll wrapper was a little thick but not honestly a big deal. 5 stars absolutely must try if you love dim sum!!!

Bring cash!! They accept card but charge a small fee.”

“Last minute stop for a burrito. Initially it was a bit hard to find but it’s a small restaurant. The food was absolutely fantastic. Asked them if they were able to make a breakfast burrito in the middle of the afternoon. Great service. Chorrizo burrito was a decent size. Set me back $14 and came with a side of chips which was a nice surprise.

The only thing I would say about this restaurant that kinda sucked was the parking. Looks like they share the parking lot with an auto body shop. Other than that, the food was as authentic as it gets.”

“The outside of the restaurant looks kinda janky, but man, this restaurant is amazing. The food, in addition to being incredibly cheap, is also so so delicious and has very large portions to boot. From what I saw, the meals were only around $13 and the drinks $4.00. The people who work there are also very kind and welcoming.”

“Very delicious food, the person who served me was super friendly, the food was very delicious, this place really does recommend it, I give it 5 stars. I was very satisfied with the food AND the service at this place. EL TAQUITO MEXICAN ”

“Let me tell you, the menudo here is delicious. It smells and tastes good. It's best if you take your food to go. There is really not much space to sit down and eat your food, plus it's on a busy street.”

“I visited los cuates tacos for the first time, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! The tacos were absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The salsa was the perfect complement, fresh and with just the right amount of spice. On top of the great food, the customer service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I love the smell of boba being made whenever I enter the shop. It’s a small comfy shop with cute plants around. Huge cups. Very friendly. Their boba tastes great. They actually have flavor and taste like they’ve been cooked with brown sugar, not bland at all. Ono Tea House is my favorite!! :^DI’ve been getting boba here about once a month for about a year now.I’ve had their thai milk tea, house milk tea, honeydew green milk tea, guava yogurt, lychee yogurt, strawberry yogurt, and peach yogurt. All yummy! I have ordered in-store and over the phone for pickup. Never had a bad experience so far. :^D”

“I recently came into the shop and was surprised by how fast they attended me! I would assume cutting fruit to the order would take longer, but they made it look easy. The crepes were delicious! Forsures will be having them when I go back to El Monte! 8.1.23”

“the food was very good 👍”

“Walk into pho huỳnh I was immediately struck by the inviting atmosphere. The decor blend modern elements with touches of Vietnamese tradition, created a warm, cozy space. Soft lighting, calm music, and hint of aromatic spices in the air, set the perfect tone for an authentic dining experience.”

“Best Italian food in town. Delicious pizza, lasagna, pastrami sandwich and of course Great people.”

“My taco cravings lead me here to El Rancho. Meats are nice and juicy, though chorizo is somewhat greasier. My dad enjoys their menudo a lot. Would recommend placing a phone order ahead of time if you plan to do take out. Parking is a bit small and difficult to find if you come at a time when lots are dining in. They kept their patio dining in the parking area.”

“I've been coming here since the mid 90s.. best burgers I've had. Prices went up but you know what, its soooo worth it.. everyone knows me here and they make me feel like family.. that's what I look for in a food joint.. I will always come back here”

“I came from canada and I was driving around to look for some Indian food that's where I saw curry time and spoke to the host Amita MONGA and the way she welcomed me was unbelievable and the food that she recommended was so mouth watering that I couldn't resist and took some food for home as well for my family Must try thief food”

“Came here a couple weeks ago and they forgot my chicken nuggets. Came back today and told them and they made it right and gave me my nuggets no questions asked. The cashier at the drive thru was really nice and friendly. Would recommend if you want your junk food fix”

“The best service! I bought the cake last minute, while others needed at least 2 days in advance, I got a customized Roblox cake. Was very delicious and recommend! Thanks!”

“Make sure you bring cash, trust me its worth the hassle. I'm an uber driver and I love trying Chinese take out places all over Southern CA, and this is the best by a lot, and for many reasons. Sadly I live in the oc, but I'll be praying my work brings me this way as often as possible! They have my favorite dish, eggplant and they make it very well. Now I want to try their other items too. 5 stars.”

“It’s been a while since I last ate there. Still just as good 😋”

“First time coming here. Buddy of mine recommended the cowboy fries with chicken. They are SPICY.. I ordered a side of beans to try it with and without.. Goes pretty good together. They have a huge menu.. You can choose your meat for the fries as well. Definitely going to be back.”

“Place is literally off the freeway exit so it’s noisy and lots of dust! But don’t let the location fool you!!!! TACOS ARE 9/10-10/10 depending what you like. I tried Asada, Al Pastor, and birria and they were FIRE nice selection of drinks (Agua frescas and sodas) and nice fresh ”

“👌🏼 Best Birria! Como si anduviera en Calvis 😍”

“The food and the service were amazing!!!”

“delicious breakfast at a very good price and a very friendly atmosphere”

“The place is small. But it has delicious Tortas Cubanas. And the hot sauce that came with the torta was great 😍. I really enjoyed my torta cubana from here. I appreciate the service here 🙏.”

“Hello just wanted to share my exp, at first it was a bit awkward felt the none welcoming. we have been doing taco Tuesday for the past months and the elder ladys keep getting rude by the min plus there short datk son is more then rude telling us we are not welcome after letting them know the chicken had a weird taste (spoiled)will not be going back.CHECK YOUR CHICHEN FOR FUNNY TASTE

SMALL PLATES FOR THE AMOUNT CHARGED Paid 30.00 for this teo items”

“Deliciosos tamales super recomendados y los de mole oaxaqueños.”

“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.”

“Great tamales, pan and champurrado. The owner is very sweet and you can tell she genuinely cares about what people think of her food. Would definitely recommend, but come early. Sells out ”

“Love this place I dont like pastrami but I try it here and the bread is soft and thin Not thick breadth this is a good place to eat nice and friendly they give u in this place”

“This place is great, we’ve bought our masa here for decades. The panadería opens at 6am but the store where you actually buy the masa doesn’t open till 7am. Maybe it’s a weekday thing or they haven’t initiated extended hours for the tamales rush. Meantime I’ll sit my car with my champurrado and cheese & jalapeño roll.”

“The burgers are very good, you just add the toasted bread to the point and the delicious potatoes. The older lady who delivers the meals is super cute and friendly.”

“It's a great little place. Another lost gem in Los Amgeles,please check it out. I live a block away,this place has so many options. Oh and ice cream,banana splits...❤️ IT!”

“Best Boba ever me and my parents loved the taste it was so yummy 10/10 Thank you :3”

“I was in town on vacation, stopped in for some breakfast. Had a sandwich, donuts, coffee and took back some cake. The service was amazing and food was 10 out of 10. I highly recommend.”

“I recently came into the shop and was surprised by how fast they attended me! I would assume cutting fruit to the order would take longer, but they made it look easy. The crepes were delicious! Forsures will be having them when I go back to El Monte! 8.1.23”

“Next level! Just a dream place for anyone planning an ice cream party -- they mostly sell ice cream in bulk but also offer select individual ice creams that you normally would buy from ice cream trucks. It's not really a place you want to bring your kids just because parking is limited and there's traffic as ice cream trucks are constantly moving around to load up with goodies -- so be very careful if you decide to bring a kiddo. It has a small and busy parking lot but Polar Ice Cream is gem of a place! Great place to get things to pleasantly surprise your family!”

“This place has by far the best esquites I’ve ever had, they’re nice and al dente and the flavors are so well balanced
their handmade ice cream is amazing in the summer as well,
This place is a Such a gem 🙌🏻 the owners are very sweet and great at their craft”

“I've been coming here since moving to El Monte 16 years ago. The food is always fresh and tasty.”

“Came here with my wife and got yogurt. Tart was not working so the girl kindly got it working for me. I left a $2 tip. The owner comes in at the end of her shift, takes the money from the can . I may have mistaken, but that was dirty imop. Give the tips to the workers..
Edit.. My apologies. Hopefully they have a special blend of yogurt for those so inclined to steal tips from workers. ?”

“Buenísimo todo 😉👍😋 excelente atención y servicio ☺️ limpieza 🧹 y buen precio 👏👏👏”

“Muy buena comida excelente 😀”

“The owner is very humourous and friendly. You can tell he's really enjoy running his business and serving his customers.We ordered two plain noodles and 1/2 chicken. Great portion and can't finish the whole thing.Price is very reasonable and inexpensive.Give it a try!”

“I love the Huevos Rancheros. My husband loves the Cameron Mojo De Ajo. The restaurant is a bit old but look past that and enjoy the food and service...the lady server and i believe her husband is the chef but both are very attentive. I always come back to this place to feel the welcome and to eat.”

“South El Monte is full of Asian foods and this place is where people come for Taiwanese items and boba. There are about 10+ other options for boba stores in South El Monte though this spot is one of the best for prices. It is affordable and give good deals, better than boba stores in cities like Monterey Park and Arcadia so people always come by and shop here.”

“I was thoroughly impressed by my visit to this Thai restaurant. The service was impeccable—the staff was friendly, efficient, and made us feel right at home. The food was outstanding, with fresh ingredients and bold, delicious flavors in every dish. The crispy spring rolls and the Pad Kra Pao were particular favorites. As for the ambiance, it was the perfect balance of cozy and elegant, with traditional Thai elements throughout the decor. The soft lighting and soothing atmosphere made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. I can't wait to return”

“Love the buffet”

“i think they have delicious food menu and fast service i love there tortas are delicious 😋 i recommend this place to everyone in our Neibor hood !😊”

“me gustó la sopa y los apps”

“Es una comida muy rica y saludable, y el servicio es especial, muy amable el personal.”

“Always come here. They have some deals that regulars can use or download the app for deals as well. LLOVVEE their Cappuccino Blast: Caramel. Or a Milkshake of Jamoca ??”

“Just went back with my family. It's open!!! We've missed this place and before they closed, they changed the cook which changed the taste. Can officially say TASTY BOWL IS BACK!!! Open and with the same taste as the beginning!!! So good!! Everybody was very happy with their food. You know it's good when no one is talking and only eating ?? SO HAPPY, 10/10. They also have a couple of new items, I believe? They have a new Takoyaki sign as well with a beverage and something else. (My picture is the beef ramen without the broth inside, the broth comes in a separate bowl for takeout to maintain the texture of the meat and ramen as you travel to your destination which is very considerate of them!)

Parking: Plenty of parking for them, usually always a couple spaces to park.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicap spots closer to the building and space for wheelchairs to get to the front.”

“Best customer service I can’t get through my day without my morning coffee from my favorite Starbucks in El Monte on Garvey they greet me by name first thing in the morning and always make my coffee just perfect”

“Me and my daughter &granddaughter with friends went to eat everything was wonderful delicious. Grate service they even accepted my service ?‍ God bless them”

“The BEST mung bean mooncakes!! Not too sweet and no preservatives, handmade daily. Better quality and more affordable than supermarkets and bakeries. Vegetarian bento meals are also delicious. The owner is also a very nice lady. Coming here is like shopping at the wet market in Taiwan.”

“Clean,Friendly great atmosphere”

“Great 'Road-Side' taco stand but so much more. Superb assortment of different choices including burritos, quesadillas, tortas, plus they have awesome, tasty non-alcoholic drinks to boot.”

“The staff was very helpful and friendly . Good food . First time there . My mom’s 96 birthday. She enjoyed the food, yummo”

“The dim sum a la carte were large portions.

Easy to order. You go to your table and there is a sheet with picture of the food item and you mark your quantity. Food was fast. I like this serving concept better - you don’t have to flag dim sum cart to your table.”

“I was in the area with my friend & we were looking for a noodle soup spot. This had some great reviews and the pictures looked good.I ordered the mayonnaise shrimp, bbq pork noodle soup, wonton soup and others.

But he was not there when I returned there again. (I didn't tell him. I just tried to see if I could give to him)So I took this burrito home as my lunch then I ate it.Thanks God. It is the best burrito.Also thank the homeless like guy for not being there, so that I had the chance to taste this delicious burrito.May God bless this guy can get food from someone else.”

“I had an amazing experience at Flame Broiler thanks to Eaton and Brayen! From the moment I walked in, their customer service was outstanding. I asked for family meal recommendations, and they were quick to provide helpful suggestions.
