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!!“

“First time here for dinner to celebrate my father in law Birthday. Surprise that every single dish we order are beyond our expectations that really delicious. Some dishes need to order in advance.
Service also good. All waiters are really friendly and efficient. We definitely will come back.“

“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!“

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

“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 🥹“

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

“I was riding my bike from DTLA to Riverside one hot afternoon in August and I needed a bike friendly place with an authentic Hong Kong vibe.
Hong Kong Cafe turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.
I had the HK style coffee + milk tea on ice with an order of Ovaltine French toast as a bite.
It hit the spot, and the price was comparable to what you'd pay for the same product at a similar restaurant in Hong Kong city.
Would definitely recommend it and go again.“

“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.“

“Great place to have breakfast - the amount of food for the price seems unbeatable! We went on a Tuesday, and there was plenty of seating. My group of four got Breakfast Specials A (with Beef Congee, Dark Soy Sauce Chow Mein, and Steamed Rice Noodle w/ House Special Sauce) and Breakfast Specials D with Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Roll. We had leftovers to take home.

My group really enjoyed the Steamed Rice Noodle w/ House Special Sauce. They wished the rice noodle roll would be able to absorb the beef sauce better. I enjoyed the beef congee - it's nothing special but it hits my comfort food zone.
I like how we add our own condense milk for HK Milk Tea to adjust to desired sweetness level.“

“食物好吃，環境也可以，經濟又實惠！“

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

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

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

“(Translated by Google) Ordered the day before yesterday, Farewell My Concubine, I don’t remember taking photos until the food arrives. just! There is also his watery fish soup!(Original)前日订咗，霸王别姬，好食到出嚟先记得唔记得影相。正！仲有佢个水鱼汤！“

“First time every eating in a restaurant on a styrafoam plate, but it didn't take away from my meal. Tried out their noodles with beef and I found it to be quite tasty with the sauce. Small simple little place, tempted to return for their breakfast and evening specials“

“Happy Morning is a cozy spot with comforting Cantonese-style noodle and rice dishes. I tried their Signature Beef Brisket Rice Noodles and was impressed by how tender the beef was and how rich the broth tasted—perfect for a chilly evening. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. Great place for a casual, satisfying meal.“

“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 wonton is probably the best in the Los Angeles area. It tastes really good, but the pork inside is too rough and there are chunks of fat that haven't been shredded. The shrimps are very green, and there are three or four shrimps.
The dry-fried beef he made has a first-class taste, and the pot is strong, but the beef is not very tender without the pulp. Highly recommended place to try.“

“Excelente comida bien atendidos todo excelente selos Recomiendo“

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

“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.“

“It's more like a new-style morning tea. The environment is pretty good and the dishes are pretty good. The service is very good. The roasted duck on the copper plate is okay. The skin is thin and crispy. The meat is very tender. The baked rice with seafood is in white sauce and has almost no taste. It's average. The black gold quicksand buns taste like the ones I bought in the supermarket. The mangosteen beef balls are almost as delicious as the barbecued pork rice rolls with mushrooms added in them.“

“This place is unassuming, but then they sucker punch you with HANDS DOWN the BEST WONTON NOODLES EVER. I have yet to eat more perfect wonton noodles with dumplings. The broth is simple and clean and delicious and the dumplings are amazinngggg as well. I have gotten multiple dishes here and have had the most awesome taste bud adventures.

If you're not a noodle person (le gasp), you can't go wrong with the curry and the hainan chicken. I don't know how they do it. The food is rich in flavor but I don't feel greasy or anything after eating it. I guess it's just super fresh ingredients, homemade, and skillfully cooked food. Try it to believe it!!“

“Authentic food and cheap. 👍“

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

“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.“

“Had breakfast at both their Rowland Heights and Diamond Bar places, and decided to give this place a try
For $11.99, you can get a bowl of porridge, a side dish (fried noodle, or steamed vermicelli), and a coffee or tea.
Porridge tastes great. The fried noodles are not hot enough. When it comes to service, I think the diamond bar place is better.“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“For the longest time, this was a very bad Bánh Mì Chè Cali that my friends used to love frequenting. 🙄 I hate my friends for having dragged me every time they were in town. That's why I'm SO ELATED with joy that this place has taken over! It's probably one of the cheaper dim sum options in town, and that's all they specialize in! Not a lot of seats for you to sit, but you get the idea: Take it home, and enjoy it in a familiar environment!
(｡◕‿◕｡) Ah...!
Are there better quality options? Maybe, but for the price and convenience, don't count these guys out!“

“I live in Oakland California when I arrived to meet my family in Los Angeles at this restaurant it was a nice experience and the food was great I'm definitely stopping by every time I go to EAST LOS for sure the staff was nice 👍 as well“

“I can't help but express how much I wish we had something like that here in my hometown of El Paso! I had the opportunity to enjoy this incredible food while in California for just a couple of days, and I couldn't resist going back for more. It was such a delight to experience that culinary bliss two days in a row!“
