Cantonese Restaurants near El Monte, CA

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

“One of the best dim sum places in the area! Even at night when dim sum isn't available the dishes are super tasty as well! I never been to Canton, but I've been to Hong Kong and NYC, this place is def on par or better than the places I had in Hong Kong and NYC.“

“Don’t be misled by the old negative reviews, this restaurant is under new management, and the food is absolutely delicious! Truly a hidden gem in El Monte. Why drive to another city when you can enjoy amazing food right here?

I’ve tried the pork belly, which they sell by the slab, and honestly, it’s better than many places that roast an entire pig. The flavors are rich, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying.

If you’re looking for fantastic food, great service, and a spot that locals need to know about, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“This spot is super cute and also offered a Thanksgiving special (11/24-11/27 where they give you a pineapple bun sandwich when you spend over $50.

I would come back even when they don’t have a Thanksgiving special! Really good comfort food.“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Small mom& pop restaurant. Very 廣東 台山 Cantonese Taishan family style menu for lunch and dinner. Their chicken rice is delicious, juicy tender brown chicken, fragrant rice, just not very Hainan style but I will order again. Their curry pork chop rice, the curry sauce was very yummy unfortunately the fried pork chop was very dry inside. Want to love it so much because the fry job was done right but the meat was too dry. We also order the Chinese sausage salty egg meat Pattie on rice 台山臘腸鹹蛋肉餅飯. That was delicious! They can accommodate bigger group (6+) but best to call ahead. Easier for 1-4 person. There is a free small parking lot on the side and street parking. Even though I gave it 4-star (cuz of the pork chop), I would definitely return to try other items. Very authentic regional Chinese food.“

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.“

“You know a place is great when the veggies are some of the best dishes you’ve ever had. The rice roll was so flavorful and full of meat, the green beans and eggplant in xo is just wonderful. The dumplings are stuffed with filling and I can’t wait to come back for their special dumping and to try a congee and braised chicken. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Great service, they even give away 8 inches free 🎂 too“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“do not let the casual exterior of this building fool you - they're serious about food here. came on a Saturday night and it was packed, but they managed to seat us almost immediately! win. we ordered their lobster supreme, roasted duck, and some scrambled eggs with shrimp. rice and soup came with the meal. the lobster? fresh. delicious. chopped for easy eating ( true lobster monsters know how difficult it can be to eat this crustacean when it is improperly prepared! ) duck? delicious and toasty and very flavorful. and the scrambled egg and shrimp is a good, not too salty, meal balancer. very fluffy and soft. the tea they served was also brewed very well, very fragrant and none of the burnt taste. 10/10 would visit again and maybe try some of the other special meals (I gotta come back for the garlic crab)

edit: they have a complimentary little mango pudding for us 🥹“

“This is place is amazing and the food is great“

“We ordered the eggplant, water spinach (kangkong), steamed sole fish, pork chop in Peking sauce, wanton/beef brisket and noodles in soup, and kungpao chicken. It was all so delicious, the portions are generous, and service is fast & pleasant. There were 4 adults and 2 kids and we had plenty of leftovers to take home. Highly recommended.“

“Wow one of the strongest standing Hong Kong western restaurants in SGV! I have been to this restaurant a few times as a child and it's still going despite Great Recession and COVID pandemic! Last time I came, it brought back a lot of childhood memories and the food was still amazing! Will come back in the future!“

“This is a newly opened restaurant, so the environment inside the store is very clean and the furniture looks new. There are not too many choices on the menu. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is very tasty, but the chicken is slightly less umami. The Bamboo Shoots and Chicken Soup Noodles have a sweet soup base, which is worth a try.“

“It's been a busy night at Chinese restaurants due to the New Year. We didn't have to wait to be seated and within a few minutes the waiter took our order. We ordered orange chicken, BBQ pork, and chicken fried rice. All the food was delicious and the flavoring was perfect. They kept filling our tea cup and it kept us wired. Free parking available in their lot or free street parking.“

“Excelente comida bien atendidos todo excelente selos Recomiendo“

“A new store has opened here! Now it’s Cantonese food + Malatang. The rice rolls look great and taste good. The addition of chopped peanuts is interesting and the portion is not small, but the soy sauce is not very interesting.The spicy hotpot is super delicious, the soup base is very fragrant, and the ingredients are very tasty. I recommend that it be a little spicy.“

“Authentic food and cheap. 👍“
