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.“

“The roast duck is juicy, Char Siu is tender and juicy. It’s under new management and Beef Stir Fry rice noodles is most popular. Prices are very reasonable. No pictures because before I can do so… food are mostly gone 🤣 will come back for sure“

“Their breakfast special (available until 11 am) is awesome. For about 14 dollars, I got one Hong Kong style iced milk tea, one huge piece of fried chicken steak and egg, plus stir fried noodle. Very authentic Hong Kong style. Plenty of parking behind the building.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“麵爽，云呑好味，丸子夠料“

“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 🥹“

“pineapple bun curry fish balls pork fried rice honey ribs Great food, prices, and service.“

“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.“

“Small family owned business, super super tasty and worth it. In the span of 7 days, we ate here twice. Everyone is very nice, and considering it is like one person (big respect) in the kitchen, everything is made super fresh and quick comparatively. The 3he house noodles, beef noodle soup, cat eat noodles are all very tasty and the noodles have good texture. The popcorn chicken is also good but lacking 椒盐 for my taste but that's fine because I can add more at home or dip in the sauce.“

“They’re new, 6 months old .

It is a Cantonese restaurant that serves some faves.

I got the rice roll with beef stew. That was really good!

The salted chicken rice was ok, nothing g to rave about. Hope they serve with more chicken.

Not to miss is the chili sauce. It is the garlicky spicy variety.“

“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!“

“Can’t speak for the whole menu, but this place hands down has the best roast duck in the area. Yes, it’s even better than the roast duck at Sam Woo on Valley and 6th…and this is coming from someone who has had duck from Sam Woo for over 30 years. Juicier, tender, consistent quality.

Don’t be fooled by the outside appearance. Give it a try.“
