44 Best Asian Restaurants near Montebello

“Came across this place after a trip to the mall and it did not disappoint. Generous serving size of noodles and braised beef that was cooked to perfection and so full of flavor! Hand made sweet tea was also excellent! Will definitely be my new go-to for beef noodle soup. Highly recommend!“

“The food is really good and cheap, plus its a really good portion of it. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming and feels good to be there. The most remarkable thing its the service, it is a really nice and good service in every way, best service I've had so far and will definitely go back.“

“We were a family of 5 and we all got a milk tea boba. Everyone loved their drinks and food. The portions were generous and delicious. The beef bologa and orange chicken were so great. I'm so glad to we checked this place out. It was the perfect ending to our vacation.“

“I picked up a pack of 18 wings for a potluck and they were huge hit with the group! Half lemon pepper and half garlic parm. The wings were juicy and the flavors were great. I also like how the order came with sauce and veggie sticks included. I'll definitely be ordering wings from here again.“

“Very good customer service and vibes I love the decorations and how clean it is. The ramen and potstickers were very filling and definitely worth trying. I keep coming back for the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the sushi was not very good especially for the price...

Another complaint I have is the chopsticks feel very cheap and hard to work with plus $2.50 for a can of coke isn't really something to look forward to with your meal

P.S. I'll definitely be back but I felt the need to give an honest review“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“Loved this place! The ramen was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the yakitori was perfectly grilled with a nice smoky flavor. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was friendly, and you can really tell they care about the quality of the food. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!“

“We have always loved this place— the staff are wonderful and always recognize us and look excited to see us when we come in. They have an extensive menu to choose from, and I’ve tried items from every category and enjoyed them all. Amazing thai tea and mango sticky rice! The ambiance is great, and everything is very clean and well-maintained. There’s a parking lot in front that consistently has open spaces as well.“

“i bring all my friends here this is literally one of my og spots in the 626. get the big mouth pocket and sesame pancake, do not get the green scallion pancake. also don't recommend the sheng jian bao, but highley recommend the big mouth pocket and the black bean noodles zhajiangmian. love the auntie who works here she's always super sweet and takes care of us.“

“good. service the. Lady. snow. that's. does. my. pedi. she. does. a. good job“

“★★★★★

Urban Pocha was such a great find! The food was flavorful and satisfying, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the overall experience was fantastic. I’d definitely come back again and recommend Urban Pocha to anyone looking for a fun and tasty dining experience in Pasadena!“

“Sakura Grill is a great spot for fresh, flavorful Japanese-inspired dishes served in a relaxed, casual setting. The menu has a nice variety, and everything comes out well-prepared and consistent. The grilled items are especially satisfying tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right.

Service is friendly and efficient, and orders are handled quickly whether you’re dining in or taking out. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy a laid-back meal. Overall, Sakura Grill is a solid go-to for dependable, tasty food with good value.“

“We love Joy. My family have been regulars for many many years. Food is awesome. Service is great, servers friendly. Only bummer, when we, as a family, went to celebrate my birthday on Saturday, we presented a gift certificate my husband & I were gifted from my Kids. It was issued at the end of 2019, expired at the end of 2020. Because of Covid we did not venture out until late last year. They did not not honor it. A little bit of a disappointment, but not going to keep us from frequenting our fav local sushi restaurant.“

“Ever since I tried their curry plate, this place has been my go-to—it's honestly delicious! I haven't tried anything else yet, but the staff is always kind and the service is super fast. My only minor complaint is that they recently changed their containers, so it feels like a bit less food, but honestly, can you blame them in this economy?“

“I recommend for my friends and partners, a suitable place....nice meal🥰“

“Food was so yummy! Had the chicken pho and edamame.“

“Not salty, good HK food to bring parents to and hang out to catch up. Their desserts...warm ginger 🫚 milk, double milk pudding is real good. tofu W/ginger is silky.
Squab Claypot rice also good.
Chicken mushroom Claypot was good we came back twice in a week!“

“I have tried many roujiamos at many places around LA and the one i had here was the best by far. In addition i had the liangpi which was also good. Sometimes at night i dream about going to this restaurant again and in my dream, im trying the other things on the menu. The owner is also the kindest person!“

“Best clubhouse and support group around. I love that they have a great homemade Thai food restaurant and wonderful people that work there, especially the men at the front desk.

Absolutely warm and loving place with tremendous support and meetings. 💕🤟
Go and find out !“

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

“This Chinese skewers place is a great place to eat at. Their variety of skewers both in meat and veggie are diverse. They also have a mild and spicy version (mala) and a none spicy for all levels of enjoyment. The spicy sliced potato, corn cheese and enoki mushrooms were great. Their Sapporo pitcher special for $10 was also a great deal.

Overall the meat and marinade was great and the special items such as chicken heart and pork skin was crispy and good. The service was decent if you waived the staff down. We got all our orders in a timely manner. The vibe is kind of loud but enjoyable time with friends and family. Bring a shirt you don't care to smell as the cooking will stick onto your clothes.“

“Delicious food, Always good quality. I have been going here weekly for over a year. The only thing that is frustrating, is that their closing time is not accurate with what they have it listed on google, I’ve had doordash orders go through that never came in, and i showed up to the location to be denied.. 30 minutes before listed closing time.“

“Service was fast, friendly and very helpfull....food was also great by the way. I came on a weekend and it was very busy and had to wait but still was well worth it.“

“A great place run by a husband and wife duo. I believe they were previously at Delicious Food Corner in San Gabriel.

The food is cooked fresh and fast. I particularly like the black pepper udon and claypot rice.

A small restaurant with not much seating (maybe 6-8 tables). It looks like a lot of people order takeout.“

“A typical fancy omakase meal that I’m not sure if I would come back.

The menu only had 2 choices, wagyu or seafood set, $128 person. I enjoy most of the food, out of 11 courses, there 4 dishes with different type of steak, while the meat is good I think I expected more creativity?( Caz honestly I could probably do that at home myself with the quality of the meat).

I feel the restaurant lacks decoration compare to most fancy upscale restaurant, so without the atmosphere, the vibe, the setting. I think the experience would be for food for the most part … and I feel like they could make it more fancy if that make sense“

“Viviana really makes the atmosphere an amazing experience. Her customer service and attention to detail is a 10 out of 10. She remembers when i bring my party of friends and welcomes them with a smile. She goes above and beyond and im greatful to have her as a server.“

“Not every meal has to be at the trendiest restaurant.

Sometimes all you need is a classic Hong Kong cafe, a table full of comfort food, and a game playing in the background.

We stopped by JJ Hong Kong Cafe in Monterey Park and tried their Curry Combination Rice, Beef Brisket Lo Mein, Baked Pork Chop Macaroni, Deep Fried Cornish Hen, Fried Chili Turnip Patties, and French Toast.

The French Toast with ice cream was easily one of the most memorable dishes on the table. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for sharing.

The atmosphere felt old-school and casual — the kind of neighborhood spot where people come for a relaxed meal, late-night cravings, or to catch a game with friends.

“Vegan review:

The food quality is really great. Tastes fresh and crunchy and its really good. I got the vegetable roll and it was good. Only reason for 4 stars is price. For what it is and where it is and how much was in the roll, especially it being only vegetables, it was quite expensive. I mean not too much but for the price a larger quality would be better.“

“Great food and fast service. Looking for a quick and good lunch this the spot. I recommend it try it !“

“Almuchow boasts of offering “Filipino comfort food” in Blossom Market Hall - and they have all the Filipino comfort staples on the menu such as chicken adobo, various versions of Pansit, and of course lumpia!

Since I adore lumpia I couldn’t resist grabbing an order - and I was not disappointed. Definitely a solid choice for lumpia in the area (it’s called Lumpiang Shanghai on their menu). The pieces are small but quantity is more than ample. And they come with a sweet/sour sauce.

The lumpia were nice and crisp on the outside and smooth on the inside with great flavor and not greasy. We also tried to order some chicken adobo but they were sold out - will have to try and catch it again next time bc it looks great.

Prices are reasonable and service was efficient and pleasant. We were a little bothered by the fact that the cook and other food handlers weren’t wearing gloves and were touching their faces and the money while also handling food - we almost didn’t order there bc of it but gave it a shot anyway lol. Otherwise everything was great.

Almuchow is towards the back of the market hall. Order at the counter and they’ll give you a buzzer. The vibe are lively and inviting with lots of seating options and promising dessert choices once you’ve finished your dinner. There’s plenty of free parking on site.“

“The food is priced on the expensive end, but that is to be expected for attraction food. Not that I minded anyway, because my entire meal was filling (the portion sizes are MASSIVE) and delicious. Well seasoned, served hot, and promptly arrived even during the height of a lunch rush. The atmosphere is unbeatable“

“Best deal in town. We’ll be putting this place on our favorite restaurants list to come back often.“

“Food was amazing. I ordered the pumpkin curry, flavor was great, default spice level was spot on for a pasty boy like me. Service was great. The location is a little odd but kinda adds to the charm. It always pretty quiet in there when I went so it's possible when there's more activity in the community center thing it could be a little less charming. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Plenty of seats. Extra like fifty cent charge for cards. Lady barely seem to speak english. Food taste a lil cheap. Got the mixed veg and fried rice. It was ok. Steam table food. The thing with these type of places is that the veggies taste clear/fake or something lol paid 15 with extra side of broccoli. Try it out if u will. Id go back last. Didnt taste like gmos or salty though.“

“Honestly, I just DoorDash this because it looked healthy and well balanced. And I’m so glad that I did! I got the protein packed bowl which had tofu, shredded chicken, and shredded beef and it was just pure deliciousness. I’m not really fond of tofu much, but there was so much flavor packed into each tofu bite. It was hard to not love and crave.

I also got the Wagyu bowl and that was equally as delicious!! Every bite is an addictive burst of flavor.“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención!💯“

“Great bakery tucked away in a small trip mall on Las Tunas and Mission. Although small, the baked goods are so good here. They are also very creative with their pastries. This is the only shop I can find gigantic pineapple buns. One of the bun here equals to probable 4 to 5 regular buns that you would typically find at dim sum. They can also custom made cakes from 6 inch to whatever sizes you want with various different flavors and designs. We just ordered a 6 in chestnut cake with rose flower decoration for my mom's birthday. Order was done efficiently and timely. We ordered the cake one day before and was able to pick it up by next morning. I also like their Chinese pastries. One of my favorites is their Portuguese egg tart or Pastéis de Nata as they called the Custer in Portugal. The skin is so crispy and the egg tart filling tasted so good. I just can't stop eating them. Probably I have to run a couple of miles the next day to burn off the calories. There are so many great pastries here. I just have to come back to try them all. The owner is so friendly and she is always very helpful to introduce us to new products.“

“This is my new favorite hang out spot for popcorn chicken. The prices are very very good and drinks are decent though. The drinks are very sweet so make sure to adjust the sugar levels. Everybody and their mamas out here so it does get very busy so be patient. They only have 2 workers.“

“You can eat your style taco, burrito, tostada, salad, hamburger or plate you can choose grill jalapeño, chiles different kind of hot sauces and good teriyaki taste excellent service“

“Had a Taro Milk Tea. Satisfies a craving and not too bad for the price. Have been here years so familiar with the drinks and they won't be a must have. Just moreso convenient and accessible. Keep in mind they prefer cash, using credit requires a $.50 charge.

Parking: Small plaza. But decent amount of parking for a quick stop.“

“Always a great time at Big Ma’s Kitchen. It’s my go to place when I’m in the sgv area. Food is great, service is great, and it’s affordable. The owner is a very nice and sometimes remembers me when I come by. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Love all the food and the drinks are great too. Just afraid it will get too busy at lunchtime and no seat for me! :)“

“We had excellent tempura shrimp, egg rolls & chicken fried rice here! It was so tasty! We enjoyed it immensely! The last time I had tempura shrimp was in Japan, and it was exceptional. This tempura wasn't far behind. We will definitely be back!“

“This is the Greatest Place for Home Maid Flavoraful Dishes and Most GINGER BOBAO...My Eliza CELESTIAL SKIES ;D“
