50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Montebello

“It's still the best restaurant for me and my family. Can't believe every time I eat their food, feel the same as the first time, when your first and last bite are equal of tasteful, you know you're hitting the right spot.

Thanks to this family for giving me the pleasure of being a diner at this place.“

“These people are so nice and have been doing this for so long. They know how to make good food. They gave me so much I couldn’t even finish it haha!

The price for one plate made 2 meals that I had to take the rest home. Affordable, sweet people, and good food. What more could you ask for. I highly recommend and will be back :)“

“This place is a family favorite going back 3 generations. So my family has been going here for decades. They have not changed the great quality of their food and recipes since then and our whole family appreciates it. They may have updated the restaurant and may have passed it down over the years but they have kept their continuity. I can't wait to have this for my birthday dinner tomorrow evening. 💜“

“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“

“Despite the bad aromas that circulate inside and outside the premises, the food is very tasty. The female person who attends is cutting you off and it seems that one is going to take away her precious time. Previously, I have seen the comments of other diners and they continue to complain about the poor service provided by the above. The food is tasty, like any non-chain fast food. How is it normal? Some dishes seem to have been there all day, without being sold, let's hope it's not food from the previous day. Yes, I do recommend it as long as you are patient and don't get angry with that person, you can go out to Karatazos ???????????????“

“Honestly the food is delicious they need a couple more selections but it was a friendly environment that got busy for diner. I’d def come back and try the kung poa when it seems hot and fresh, you can tell the food was sitting for a bit but thankfully we got fresh orange chicken and teriyaki the white rice was ok so were the noodles and fried rice not so greasy ! Other than that this place is not to bad.“

“Food is awesome ,out standing delivery service,“

“My family and my parents/siblings have been to Happy Family Chinese Restaurant in Montebello many times since 2012,, I will say that all the food there is VERY GOOD and plenty and healthy 👍,, I strongly recommend this restaurant 10/10 for sure“

“This restaurant is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to this restaurant. when I I need a decent dinner, this place comes first to my mind. outstanding and all kinds of food and a rich cuisine.well mannered crew, and good ambience. Also, the tariff is modest. I sent my friends to this restaurant with no doubt.“

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

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“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“

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

“This place is different than other Chinese food. The flavor is unique in its own. But don’t compare their spiciness with the likes of Chengdu or Hunan…it’s milder and delicate in fragrance. If you eat super spicy, don’t come here because you will not get the heat fix you want. If you want to experience different kind of taste and explore different kind of Chinese food this is the place. My kids even enjoyed it. The service from bottom up is awesome, patient and accommodating.“

“A WONDERFUL RESTAURANT - THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS , THE PORTION SIZE WAS LARGE AND THE WOMAN SERVER WAS VERY KIND AND PLEASANT - AN EXTRA PLUS INEXPENSIVE PARKING WAS ADJACENT TO THE GOLDEN TREE . LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK AGAIN .“

“I had the opportunity to visit this Michelin-starred restaurant specializing in noodles, and I must say that the experience was overall very positive.

The house specialty, the beef noodles, were truly delicious. The meat was incredibly soft and rich, making it the highlight of the meal.

However, I felt that the broth that accompanied the noodles could have had a little more flavor. Although it was clear that a lot of care had gone into its preparation, it seemed a bit neutral to me.

Overall, I give it a rating of 8/10. Although it was not a perfect experience, the quality of the meat and the presentation of the dishes were more than enough to make up for the small deficiencies. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any noodle and beef lover.“

“laura’s customer service is phenomenal she really goes above and beyond with making sure your order is correct and you have everything you need. every time i come and she’s here i know i’m going to be taken care of with out a doubt. thank you laura !“

“Great place for a group to hang out, drink, and eat some food. Very cool atmosphere. Like an old timey tavern from Chinese dramas. Good, fast service. Order food on a tablet. There are options to omit scallions and cilantro for people who don't like them. You can also call the servers from the tablet, otherwise they leave you alone. Had a live performer (singer) when we went.“

“Sichuan dishes with real numbing heat—mapo tofu and toothpick lamb are standouts. Servers will warn you about spice levels if you ask. Interior is simple and clean. Good for groups willing to share plates. Parking in the plaza can be chaotic at dinner“

“Yummy yummy food!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Surprised by the best kung pao shrimp I’ve had in my life. Fresh julienned ginger, scallion, garlic; a brown sauce that showed care and layered attention - not some slapped together mass processed food. The young lady serving was kind, precise, and sat to clean green beans in any down time. Reminded me of my family in India, the women’s hands busy all day with preparation,
with the food from the earth.“

“I like this place. $13.99 per pound of food. You get to choose all your toppings. I recommend going heavy on the meats and light on the carbohydrates. That’ll be the best bang for the buck. They also have frog meat if that’s your lingo. I tried their beef bone broth and I like it a lot. I’d come back again.

**UPDATE**
Just a heads up. If you can’t eat mild this place won’t be for you. They can’t alter the broth. The only option is the tomato broth which is no spicy.“

“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“

“Had lunch at Jade Wok near Chinatown and honestly, it hit the spot. The standout for me was definitely the sweet and savory spareribs. They’re sticky, flavorful, and perfectly tender with just a bit of chew. Exactly how you want Chinese-style spareribs to be. The glaze is rich and garlicky with a nice hint of sweetness, and the green onions and sesame seeds on top gave it a nice little pop.

We also got the stir-fried greens, which were super simple but fresh and cooked just right. A little crunch, a little tenderness + great as a balance to the heavier dishes.

And the braised tofu with minced pork came in a deep, savory sauce that soaked into the tofu beautifully. The tofu was fried just enough to give it some texture on the outside while staying soft inside. Super comforting.

It’s not a fancy spot, but the food comes out hot, portions are generous, and everything tastes like it was cooked with care. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and want that classic Chinese comfort food vibe.“

“Do you ever wish you were two people so you could eat twice as much? Well after visiting here... I sure do. Got soup dumplings (superb) steamed pork dumplings, cucumber salad, beef in a crispy wrapping whose name I am forgetting, and red bean dumplings. Everything was exquisite.“

“This is the place to go if you love hot pot. Good quality food, tasty, and flavorful broth. Good service and friendly staff.“

“The best Vietnamese Style Lobster and seafood! Always a long queue to be seated. Get here early for best parking and best seating.“

“Superb noodles with great value. The food here is authentic and very tasty. The biang biang noodles are very thick and chewy, and come in a humongous bowl. They have a large selection of different noodles and other dishes. The interior is clean and staff very friendly.“

“The best place in Dtla! Ask for Hiro, he was super amazing and kept our drinks full!“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“Found this hidden gem in Whittier! Tried the dumplings and they were authentic and delicious! They also have a lot of different items such as noodle dishes and fried appetizers. Ordered the fried potstickers, dumplings, and sesame noodle, definitely recommend the potstickers they were so good!“

“Very delicious Love their Lamb“

“🍜 Chinatown’s Comfort Corner – A Humbling Noodle Experience at Kim Chuy

Kim Chuy is an unassuming treasure that overdelivers on flavor, warmth, and tradition. It’s the kind of local gem that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in—generous servings, authentic Chinese comfort food, and a no-frills vibe that feels just like home.

We started with the wonton egg noodle soup and a side of fried leeks. The soup? Not just good—it was built for noodle lovers. The broth was rich, the noodles perfectly textured, and the flavors so soothing that conversation at the table paused. It was a quiet appreciation of something humble and deeply satisfying, a true noodle moment that lifts your mood without saying a word.

We also ordered the broccoli beef chow mein, and I wish we’d snapped a photo before we dove in. The vegetables were crisp, fresh, and infused with garlic and savory chow mein notes. It’s not your typical fast-food-style dish—this is home-style, family cooking done right. Every bite reminded me of meals made with care, meant to be enjoyed and remembered.

Kim Chuy even offers pre-made leeks you can take home and cook—perfect for sharing, and trust me, they’ll go fast. Whether you’re a lifelong local or exploring Chinatown for the first time, Kim Chuy is a soul-satisfying stop that brings joy to noodle enthusiasts and food lovers alike.“

“The best Chinese food I had in a long long time. We have been with six, sharing different dishes - a blast. Share the soup! Highly recommended.Thanks for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who has traveled the world with the world's greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, and Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "Where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say, and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked at how people use their "power of the word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all-time favorite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "You give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree.So If I had a say on this portal, I would offer just to see the ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this does not correspond to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceed my expectations. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Thank you for reading this.“

“Very good food . Clean establishment. Great customer service and reasonable prices.“

“Everybody is so nice here it always has been my favorite. The taste is always what I want and never got wrecked by even once I could survive every day eating the food is so nice here it always have been my favorite. And if you’re looking for a good restaurant, please come here thank you!“

“everything is delicious and fresh 😋“

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味“

“Absolutely the best new restaurant inLos Angeles. Wonderful staff. Gorgeous facility indoors and patio. Exquisite and unique delicious food.“

“Hole in the wall, hidden gem, mom & pop vibes! they take card!

I can't get over these egg noodles in this wonton mein! seems like most places serve it up clumped together and you need to split your chopsticks to break them apart - BUT NOT HERE. they are silky and bouncy! and the soup is nicely flavored, enhancing everything in the dish. you also get four big wontons filled with plump shrimp and pork. I also love their hainan chicken, well seasoned, and the filet mignon has a nice kick.

Nice selection of traditional asian dessert options in individual serving sides (tofu pudding with ginger syrup, "che thai", ube tofu, etc.) and they also sell their wontons/dumplings frozen + noodles in packages.

parking is available on the street!

limited seating, but a lot of folks are doing takeaway!“

“We ordered the signature beef hotpot set, the oyster pancake, a pork claypot, and a soup noodle. The beef cuts and the pork meatballs are unique. They all tasted great and didn't suffer from a dreaded common occurrence where every dish tasted the same, like it's made from one sauce. Service was pretty good too. Price wasn't too bad, $115 before tip for those said items. As far as I know, this is the only place that serve this style of beef hot pot (one reviewer said otherwise). Place is kinda small so i can see waiting maybe an issue, the Parking space is right just for the amount of tables they have.“

“I Couldn't find a solid review to help me order but its so close to home i took a chance. Saw a Bulgogi beef on the menu which is a familiar Dish to me so i quickly ordered That and decided to sit down. A couple of minutes later, and i have a Nice Healthy bowl of Rice Topped with a heap of BEEF! It was delicious! Thank YOU!“

“The food is good, the portions are generous and the people were very friendly. I have only used the take out, the food was hot and ready to go on time as promised. I plan to go back and try the dine in soon. From the expressions to I saw on the people there, I expect it to be a good experience.“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“it's nice place for dinning“

“This place is amazing! They have so many things to choose from and everything looks so fresh and not dry like other spots you go to. Lady serving is very nice and fast . I mean they have fricken EGG FU YOUNG !! Made fresh to order NEED I SAY MORE ! And they have a combo family meal that is pretty damn reasonable. Will definitely come back again .“

“Best place around my family has been going there for about 20 years“

“This restaurant is very affordable, every dish looks big and is packed with great flavors.

If you come to this place with a group, there is a mandatory tip so don't get surprised by that (it will be included in your check).

I got various items from the menu, some of the highlights were the garlic and shrimp fried rice and the Chinese sausage fried rice.

The service was great and included tea. My party kept drinking hot tea and the waitress was always on top of it and refilling it. Even when we finished our meal and we were just chatting amongst each other, the waitress still offered tea, it was a very nice gesture and made us feel welcome to stay more.

Pending on how much you eat, I recommend getting the number of plates = the number of people in your party. If you cannot finish everything, they offer boxes to take out the rest of your food. I recommend dining in, it is clean and spacious.

The only bad thing is that some members of my party went to the bathroom and it was not clean, one of them even said that it ruins part of the experience. For the owner: Please clean the restroom, it would have been a perfect experience.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lee's BBQ & Boba Chinese Food. I was thoroughly impressed! The flavors are absolutely delicious, with each dish prepared perfectly. The meats are tender and flavorful, and the variety of options on the menu made it hard to choose just one. I highly recommend the chicken Chow Mein and the dumpling soup — they were simply outstanding!

It's clear that they take pride in their food and customer experience. Whether you're craving a quick bite or a satisfying meal with friends, this is a perfect place to visit.

Can't wait to return for more amazing food.“

“Known for Hainan chicken rice, and it lives up to the hype without feeling “scene-y.” The garlic chili sauce is addicting. Seating is tight, so be ready to wait a few minutes. Staff is efficient and kind. Still feels like a neighborhood staple“
