Restaurants in Monterey Park

“Came here for my Grandma’s 80th birthday. Was recommended this spot for Peking Duck by a friend and it did not disappoint. The duck meat was juicy and duck skin was crispy. The eggplant was flavorful while the soup was pretty refreshing. I thought the grilled eel was ok, not very strong in flavorful in comparison with the rest of the meal.

The staff were very friendly and food came out promptly (not much of a wait). I would come back again for the Peking Duck alone!”

“Their signature soufflé pancakes”

“If you want authentic Burmese Food, go there. Not pricy, yummy food and warmly welcoming environment.
I really wanted Shan noodle with Tofu but mostly Burmese Restaurant only offered Shan Noodle, but this one has it. So I ordered Shan Tofu Noodle and it’s so fresh. Monhikha is good but texture is thick.
The place is hard to find as it’s really small inside. Waiting time for food is so long, for me, I waited for about 20 25 mins to get my food after already ordering. The lunch special deal is good one.”

“Honestly customer service 100% great. But the food was so bad I will never come here. This location needs to learn from Alhambra as far as food. And Alhambra needs to learn from this location about great customer service. UPDATE I WAS HERE RECENTLY AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FIXED WHAT A ICONIC LOS ANGELES CA OPTION THAT PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED.”

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

“Lively local restaurant that filled up approaching 6pm on a weeknight. Definitely get there early to avoid a line, but the food also comes out pretty quickly and the staff are very experienced. Great prices and portion size.”

“Lord jesus… the pork belly banh mi is god level. I’m not Viet but to me it’s on par with Carrot & Daikon in OC, which is considered the best in little saigon.

It’s a bit pricier, which is just LA tax. The homemade pickled veggies are very fresh. Thank you Hoa Phat, I don’t have to make the 1 hr drive to OC anymore”

“If you want a place to hang out after an activity with friends and eat good food while listening to some relaxing karaoke THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Yes there are busy times for this place because this place has great food, service, and atmosphere! I've been here with different sets of friends and I have never had a bad time...though parking may be a bit hard it's worth it. Also the prices for everything are fair and I don't end up spending too much especially in a group.”

“Jin Hai / Beijing Pie House has gotten better over the years. The lamb and leeek meat pies arrived nice and crispy with ample soup inside. The lamb flavor was subtle and clean with a satisfying smattering of yellow leek.

The three ingredient dumplings (leek, pork, shrimp) were supple and balanced. The thick looking wrappers were deceptively supple with a bit of bite and flavor of the fillings sang a song of freshness.

Glad we came back and will put this back in our rotation.”

“Pssing through. Hilton Hotel in Montebello said tgey had the best pizza around. Very true. Loved the New York.”

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.”

“Excellent service. Great beer. Great food. I Love the ambiance.”

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.”

“Bball Team banquet held there”

“Such a cozy and a must need desert spot classic in Alhambra. Light and mellow yet satisfying beautifully put together deserts. Huge wide range of options, from classic comforting desert soups, to mochi deserts. We ordered the mango mochi, the mango pancake, ginger soup, and the mango roll. All were unique and really put together deserts. Definitely recommend to try out! Really nice atmosphere and homey interior decor, and affordable prices.”

“very nice service 👍 always come back”

“Pastry was dry, but the curry filling was yummy with a touch of spicy. Fan Tuan (purple rice) was amazing, total hit with the husband and kiddos. My husband doesn't care for pickled veggies, but he stated it actually works really well in the roll with all the other ingredients. My kids call it Chinese kimbap and it was an amazing, easy, quick and clean lunch for the kiddos at the airport. Definitely coming back to try other items on their menu. Front lady was nice and made funny jokes and smart remarks. Lol”

“Best sushi in LA! Everything melted in your mouth! The fish is fresh, the price is affordable, and the service is great! It looks like a hole in the wall - but wow :)) We eat there once a week and love it! Drove all the way from Studio City to have dinner there - 2 hours each way in traffic - so that's obviously what it says :)) Haha Just love it!”

“Really good birria crispy tacos👌”

“The pizza is so good!! And they have great family specials 😃”

“Enchiladas are delicious”

“delicious! Just the way it looks in the pictures.”

“Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Not too busy for lunch. Servings were sizeable perfect for sharing . Free Desert is served after the meal. No my cup of tea but my mates thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant is somewhat dated but it was clean throughout. Don't pass by this place of you enjoy Thai food 🫠😊”

“The food and services are excellent. We eat here every time we visit!”

“Found my favorite noodle here. Their signature dish and the best I ever taste is their Bún bò Huế. Place is small but no line. There are more than one locations if this business operate by different families. The Monterey Park location taste the best.”

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

“Great dim sum for a great price as well! Definitely worth checking out! The tea was great too. We got seated immediately and the food carts came around so fast and so often. We weren’t waiting too long for anything.”

“This is one of my favorites spot for food everything taste good and prices are very good my favorite pork chops whit garlic and the white rice uuuuuuunn yummy 😋 orange chicken the best ,and all the food”

“employees were welcoming and the kiosk was fast and easy to use! first time trying this place out and i was not disappointed! the drinks were very good and sweet:)”

“Love the food and love the employees!!! Must try and we will surely come back to this place. ☺️”

“Clean and modern. Sushi bar.”

“Go here and go here soon. This place is great. Super fresh everything. Big coolers on one wall where you select meat and veg on trays and skewers. The assortment is broad. I was fortunate to have gone with friends from China, so they guided my choices. You can't go wrong with the basics here, though. Friendly service and very clean. Open late!”

“I was looking for somewhere to meet up with a colleague for lunch and CP came highly recommended. My colleague did the ordering. I found the taste and selection of dim sum to be one of the highlights. CP does get noisy. Service is excellent. Restaurant comps underground parking.”

“Really good spot for takeout pho. The broth was super flavorful and still hot when I got home, which I really appreciated. Everything was packed neatly and the portions were actually pretty generous for the price.

I got the pho to-go and the ingredients all tasted fresh, especially the herbs and bean sprouts. Service was quick and easy too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to whenever I want something warm and comforting after a long day 🍜”

“Delicious & tasty food, need a better service.”

“I recently stopped by Good Shine Kitchen Chinese Food to pick up some dumplings and wontons, and I was honestly really impressed with the quality and flavor. You can tell right away that this place focuses on comfort food done the right way, without trying to overcomplicate things.

The dumplings were the highlight for me. The wrappers were thin but sturdy, not overly thick or doughy, and they held together perfectly after cooking. The filling tasted fresh and well-seasoned, with a good balance of meat and texture. They reminded me a lot of homemade dumplings you’d eat with family, especially the kind you freeze and cook whenever you’re craving something warm and satisfying.

The wontons were just as good. The filling was smooth and flavorful, and they cooked evenly without falling apart. Whether you enjoy them in soup or on their own, they’re comforting and simple in the best way. This is the kind of food that feels familiar if you grew up eating Chinese or Taiwanese-style home cooking.

The restaurant itself feels low-key and local, but the food quality is solid and consistent. Portions are generous for the price, and it’s a great spot if you’re looking for authentic-tasting dumplings and wontons without needing a fancy setup.

I’ll definitely be coming back to restock my freezer and try more items from their menu. Highly recommended if you’re in the Monterey Park area and craving real comfort Chinese food.”

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes”

“12/27/2019 鮮🦐腸粉加🥚 & 菜乾咸排骨瑤柱花生粥. 好吃,😋價錢合理 🤗👍”

“I lived in China for 14 years and this is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I have eaten at in Los Angeles. There is a dish at the restaurant called Pídàn qiézǐ （皮蛋茄子）. It's a preserved egg and eggplant combination. Sounds funky, tastes amazing. Don't expect eggs rolls, rangoons, & fortune cookies, but if you want a taste of central China without the air fare and hassle of getting a visa, go to Chef Fu's. 好吃！”

“Wow its delicious food l love it❤️”

“I picked up 5 different skewers, cucumber salad and white rice and all was super delicious. I can see where ordering over phone will be a problem if you don’t speak Chinese. Food is bomb though and plan to go back soon.”

“Visited here 2 weeks ago.. the vibe is awesome. The location is tiny but a great use of space and great energy. Shout out to Cindy she is a rockstar! I think Monday nights with Mindy are the best kept secret at this place. Thanks for bringing joy and care into the world through painting (and Boba)... See you soon!”

“The soup is very delicious and traditional. That’s a nice experience when I am homesick during my long term business trip here.”

“5/2026:
I've tried a few other dim sum places around the area and this is the only place I've been to that serves chili sauce as well as real chili oil with the actual chili flakes. It makes a huge difference. The food also comes out piping hot. They are literally cooking some of the food on their dim sum carts, which is awesome.

2023:
Prices are decent for dimsum which is great; it's cheaper during the week. My friends and I like coming here. The staff seem to recognize us.

On some days the food is greasy; other days, not so much. If the food is not greasy, we end up eating and ordering more food.”

“The nail salon is very clean and the manicurist is very professional. You need to make an appointment by phone before you go. They are so busy. Please give them enough time and they will give you a perfect nail.”

“The food is 5 stars the service is 5 stars I love it prices are very fsir”

“I recently had an outstanding experience at the IHOP in Monterey Park! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and the service throughout my visit was amazing. The team was attentive, friendly, and made me feel truly welcome.

I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and it was absolutely delicious! The steak was tender and flavorful, perfectly paired with the gooey melted cheese and freshly grilled onions. Each bite was a delight, and the portion size was generous as well.

The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was clean, comfortable, and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying meal. My entire experience here was nothing short of outstanding, and I highly recommend this IHOP location to anyone looking for a great meal and exceptional service.

Five stars all the way!”

“Food was hot and fresh”

“McDonald's is one of the better McDonald’s locations I have visited in the area. The restaurant was recently renovated, and the new design makes the place look much cleaner, brighter, and more modern. The updated seating area is comfortable, and the overall atmosphere feels more welcoming compared to older McDonald’s locations.
One thing I notice every time I come here is how many students visit this location. Since it is close to schools and residential areas, many students come here after class to eat, study, meet friends, or simply relax. During the afternoons and evenings, the restaurant often feels lively and energetic, but it is still usually well maintained and organized.
The service is also pretty efficient. Even during busy hours, the staff works quickly and the wait time is normally reasonable. The self-order kiosks are convenient and help make the ordering process easier. Another big advantage is the parking. There are usually enough parking spaces available, which makes visiting this location much more convenient than some other busy restaurants nearby.
Overall, this McDonald’s has improved a lot after the renovation. The clean environment, convenient location, and active atmosphere make it a great place for a quick meal or a casual hangout spot for students and local residents.”

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back”

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung”

“Amazing joint To eat celebrate enjoy company”

“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.”

“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”

“Great customer service and terrific food. Love the breakfast burritos.”

“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!!”

“just a wonderful place my favorite spot”

“And they were having a promotion where if I leave a review, I get a free drink so I’m grateful for that. The tea was good. There was only a little bit of miscommunication with customizing a drink and they make you do the review before they give you the drink so other than that I will definitely come back.”

“They were not joking when they called this comfort food. I was sick, and it was raining, so I wanted something warm and hearty. This place seemed like the obvious choice, and far exceeded my expectations. Food came out fast and blistering hot, but still perfect temperature to eat right away. It was somehow nostalgic, even though it was my first time trying this dish. The tofu was extremely soft, but held its shape well, and very flavorful from absorbing the liquid. It really felt like it cured by illness.

Portion size was also very generous, which is always important. The menu was also pretty varied, I could imagine coming back multiple times and trying something new each time.”

“Great food priced right! One of our favorites places to eat at’”

“nice place. the drinks are creative, and sugar is adjustable which is always good (25%, 50%, 75%)! there are a few tables inside along with a countertop seating area. prices are very reasonable, and the staff were really nice.”

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.”

“friendly and good service for great prices for pho dac biet and crispy noodles with shrimp”

“In Los Angeles, there’s a restaurant called Jin Hai that specializes in authentic Tianjin cuisine. They have just about everything on the menu.

I highly recommend their pork and green onion buns—8 for $12, which is an incredibly generous price, probably a world record for value. Each bun is about twice the size of the ones you’d typically find in Tianjin. Absolutely amazing!”

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!”

“Endroit hyper typique ! Bonne musique, cocktails d’un excellent niveau et à un prix tout à fait honnête, tous les classiques sont dispo et le barman tient la corde niveau cordes vocales !! Excellente carte de dîner ! Nous n’avons pas testé le grill … seul regret de la soirée. Il faut qu’on y retourne, absolument”

“Best egg tart & po tart ever! We saw the TV channel introduced this store, went in on weekday morning to avoid the crowds, the egg tart was so good, po tart has more flavor but I like both 😋 recommend eating right away while it’s warm! Definitely will be back.”

“The food very delicious im with my husband love this place and we will come again and bring my friend and family here. Every people should try this place and worth it. Clean restaurant and nice set dining and waiters helpful.”

“Absolute gem of Hironori. Other locations are always crowded and there is wait time but this one is hidden gem. Always loved their ramen, but service here from Derek was impeccable. Highly recommend.”

“Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!”

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.”

“The food is very good here. It's way more than a notch above fast food. Prices are more than fair. I could be wrong, but the interior looks almost the same as Shakas did. ... My salmon was cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be back.

Lots of Dodgers love in the place! 💙⚾🧢”

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.”

“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.

“Yummy! You won’t be disappointed …check them out for your next food event. Pizza 🍕 Rules!”

“Its been a long time since I've felt like giving a generous tip. Its hard to find/see someone paying attention to his surroundings, clear communicator and making things happen for everyone. I felt bad for the tables that didnt have his service. Michael, was and over the top with waitering and his hospitality. He went the extra mile making sure my grandma and I had a great dining experience. Thank you Michael.”

“been eating there 1984, great place to eat without rushing.”

“If you want a cake from here order ahead of time, it's recommended that you order at least three or two days ahead. When I arrived today, I showed up and there wasn't anymore Green Tea Cake, I was about to leave when the cashier asked me what cake I came here for. When I indicated that I wanted a green tea cake, the baker was literally pushing a freshly baked one for the display. Perfect timing literally, they immediately boxed it up and I paid money for it. Otherwise, I was thinking about whether I really wanted a Tiramisu cake.
I would recommend that you swing by a few days before and try the cakes by the slice. Then place your order, right then and there. The Tiramisu they had on display was a Hello Kitty face made with ground coffee on the cake which was very cute but I had green tea on my mind.

This bakery is similar to 85° but I kinda like these guys more.
I came here because my coworker brought me some cake from her kid's birthday party and it was very mild not overtly sweet like American cakes. They have five types of cakes available: a black forest, chocolate mousse, mango, Tiramisu and a green tea cake. I have tried four of the five cakes and they are all mildly sweet. Even the mango passes my flavor profile.”

“Yes I Do Recommend It 👍👍👍”

“The beef noodle soup here was good. It just tasted a bit extra salty. Not sure why. But overall it was ok. The hot sauce was good too. I appreciate the service here 🙏.”

“My favorite drink is Coffee Milk Tea with topping Honey Sea Salt Cream 😋”

“I just came across this place by chance and got interested in ‘rice noodles’ and never had any dish from Guilin before. I was pleasantly surprised to find a gems of cuisine! The owners are super-friendly and especially generous condiment booth much more so than any restaurants I’d seen. Plus the price is super economical. Because of such pleasant personalities and exceptional services of the owner couple, it makes the ambiance so unique and very cozy to dine in. Not to mention the taste of the dish is great! I love the chewy round rice noodles that seems to be hand-made. It reminds me of simple noodles made laboriously I encountered in a remote village in Laos where they called it ‘Khao Pun’ made fro slightly fermented rice that was pounded, steam and pounded again so the texture is soft but chewy. It came in delicious meat sauce. I got pork belly and beef ribs. I was surprised that beef ribs were debone making it very pleasant to eat. This place is a rare find and I’ll be back to try other dishes again”

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.”

“The cream puff I tried was the Creme Brulee one and it tasted so freaking good omg it was my first time trying it I was so scared it would taste soo sweet but it wasn’t and omg it tasted soooooo good omgomg 100% recommend. Got my order really fast”

“I come here a lot during my down time from work. My go to is the Mango-Pomelo sago, and Ive had it so many times, I lost count. I have tried other drinks in their massive selection, but that would be what I most likely choose.

One thing I do have to say is that I wish the AC worked a bit better. I did write this in the summer, so its likely that the day temperature may not be the same by the time its ready.”

“very good noddles .and service very respectfully.”

“Hole in a wall but frequented by locals. They serve large bowls of soups. You get to choose your fresh noodles. Service is quick, friendly and attentive. There is free parking too.
Must go if you want a good bowl of soup.”

“Very good Banh Mi. Ingredients and bread taste very fresh and portions are generous. As people have noted, the service is a bit on the slow side for made to order items but is definitely deserving of the five star review despite this (this restaurant is way over an aggragate 4.3 rating). Having lived in Paris the texture and consistency of the bread is on par but there is the extra 9/10 that is missing in the flavor that is present in baked items from France. A place I certainly recommend!”

“Wonderful place for everyone to gather”

“Clean, Neat, Great community and work ethic”

“Surprisingly bountiful and delicious.

The style is from Lanzhou, China. Particularly in the Gansu Province, where once the Silk Road ran along the only major city through which the Yellow River runs. Traditional hand-pulled noodles with a variety of offerings and flavors. A favorite is their house special, Beef Noodle. This differs from other Chinese variations with a clear type of broth and choice of spice levels offered here. There is also a focus on Halal meats.

Lamb is also a regional favorite; if you choose this, you should be pleasantly surprised.

There are also a number of side dishes of vegetables, Beef Rolls, and a most lovely order of steamed dumplings.

The service is good with their limited staff at times. There are many take-away orders, which is often a sign that there are more customers who appear. Parking is plentiful in this shopping plaza, making this a great choice to catch a movie and a nice meal.”

“If you want good chinese food
This isnt a bad spot

The waiters speak decent english so its easy to communicate and they recommend solid dishes
If you come and need a private room, they can accomodate too. Parking structure is in the front so quite easy”

“Isabella is the best worker there to be honest I come here just for her customer service and positive attitude. It's fast and clean and she's very helpful.”

“This local place hidden inside the business buildings of Monterey Park is a great, local find. Simple, yet cute decorations with positive affirmations posted everywhere—even the restroom. A tasty, modest menu, that has some Mexican and Hawaiian flavors. We went for breakfast and ordered the Rice Plates: Spam or Portuguese Sausage, Standard Breakfast Burrito, and Make-Your-Own omelette. Solid and filling food. BUT, the most alluring part is the family-owned business. A true, local find owned by a daughter with her mother working and helping out. A small but hard-working staff from the cook to the back kitchen. So friendly, warm and kind. A place to visit and support for all Monterey Park residents.”

“Donuts are so fresh and delish. Been going there since they opened. Lunch is also good and freash.”

“Wow its delicious food l love it❤️”

“very nice service 👍 always come back”

“Bball Team banquet held there”

“Honestly customer service 100% great. But the food was so bad I will never come here. This location needs to learn from Alhambra as far as food. And Alhambra needs to learn from this location about great customer service. UPDATE I WAS HERE RECENTLY AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FIXED WHAT A ICONIC LOS ANGELES CA OPTION THAT PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED.”

“Food was hot and fresh”

“Our Server Mia was the best!! She was busy but always made time to come and check in on us. She made sure our orders were correct. We were a party of 18…thank you Mia for your excellent service”

“I work across the street so i often go to canes during my lunch break, this canes always has very fast service and quality sweet tea which is my favorite. I'd like to point out that Mariah at the front is always very quick and kind as well as listen to my personal request for my meals. Shannon who i believe is in a managerial position is also always so kind and greets everyone with a smile. They both help with the atmosphere of eating at canes. Great crew overall definitely worth coming by and if there is anything ever wrong with your meal just let them know they will HELP!”

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.”

“The Daikokuya ramen is soo delicious and very filling.”

“I love love love this coffee shop. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Their drinks are always spot on. I always get an iced Fist Bump. And the vibe is always so calm. It’s the perfect place to work and/or study. This place is good for singles, couples, and families alike. It has a great parking space too. Thank you Yihui Coffee and staff! 🤍”

“This spot was recommended to us and it did not disappoint. The moment we walked in the vibe was amazing. The girls were awesome very nice and helpful. I wish I can name them all but the one person that served us was Vanessa. She was really sweet explaining the menu the point we can make by registering and so on! The place is very clean and very tidy! The boil was perfect and the sides were delicious. We had the fries (lemon pepper) garlic bread & onion rings, all 10/10! There is so many things I can say but I don't want to bore you guys. Lol you need to try it for yourself:)”

“Stopped here after brunch. I had Vietnamese coffee (warm) with less sugar. It tasted fine. I like the shop because it was of too crowded, and free WiFi is offered to customers. Easy parking so it’s ideal for those who want to relax and enjoy a good cup of Vietnamese coffee.”

“I visited this matcha Cafe right after dining at a restaurant whose AC was not working, in a hot and somewhat humid summer day. For me a matcha blend is all I need to cool down. This cafe has a clean, cool, and relaxing ambiance. The Japanese-inspired décor, complete with anime characters, gave it a fun and authentic personality. It took a minute to order and another two minutes to get my matcha blend. It didn’t disappoint. It was rich in matcha, light in cream, and sugar level was just right for me, not too sweet not too bitter, but I wonder if there actually is the customization for sugar level? Maybe I will ask next time I visit this place. The matcha ice cream looked wonderful too, but my stomach was overloaded as was! Now there is one more thing for me to come back to this place for! I was offered a punch card so I guess once the card fills up. Only 9 more visits to go for a free drink.”

“Strong coffee. Which is great. Lots of flavors. But the cost was pretty nuts. It should cost 16 bucks for a breakfast croissant sandwich. That's waay to much.”

“This restaurant has good foods at reasonable prices. They have many choices on the menu. They serve big portions of foods. We ordered broccoli beef and walnut shrimps which come with a big bowl of pork meat/bones with vegetables soup and a big bowl of steam rice for daily lunch specials.
Waitresses also gave us attentive services.
We will come back for good foods and good services.”

“This is my favorite Chinese BBQ spot in the entire LA area. I come here every month, and it never disappoints.
The food is very authentic, the menu has a wide variety of options, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The taste speaks for itself—it’s simply delicious.
Highly recommended.”

“Uber Eats order! Good caffeine free options here :) The Cloud Mango with light sugar tasted fresh with real mango fruit! I might try even less sugar next time.”

“It was my first time here and I regret not getting the name of my server. Most importantly, I am so glad this place is open late!!! Going back to my server; she greeted me right away, noticed it was my first time, and literally WALKED me through how to order. She was attentive, checked on me frequently, asked if I had rewards to use, and offered me ice cream when I asked for the check. I think she did a great job with all the touch points in making it a memorable and pleasant first time eating here. I am excited to come back and bring my children. I love that I can make my Hot Pot MY WAY!!!”
