501 W Garvey Ave #108, Monterey Park

“We tried the diamond set. The meat quality of the 1st round was really good. But the quality of a5 wagyu was not as good after the 1st round. Sweet shrimp was not that fresh, and the steam egg portion was too big. The wagyu sandwich was not good at all and way too dried. Overall, it was a great experience.”

Bollini's Pizzeria Napolitana 2315 S Garfield Ave, Monterey Park Pizza • $$
2315 S Garfield Ave, Monterey Park

“Upon seeing the monstrous wood fired oven, you know you are in for a serious pizza. We had proscuito and calebrese on one pizza we ordered. Tremendous. Beautiful color, chew and char on a crust that proofs for 36 hours. Thin enough to fold, but sturdy enough to hold up the toppings. So much flavor comes through from the fire and smoke of the oven. You can tell the dude man who was running the front of the house has serious love for the place. Very sincere, very authentic. This is not a whatever pizza joint. Its one of those restaraunts that is more than the sum of its parts. This place has vision and heart and you see it, feel it and taste it.”

Taihei Sushi Restaurant 2195 S Garfield Ave, Monterey Park Sushi • $$
2195 S Garfield Ave, Monterey Park

“If I could eat here everyday I would. These are my favorite types of sushi restaurants to go to. Simple but far from ordinary. No frills, no heavily sauced California rolls, or flashy items just great quality sushi made as traditional as possible. Everything (that I tried) was fresh.I’m so glad that I found this little gem on this side of town. I’m coming back ASAP to try the rest of the restaurant.If you’re looking for a place to try real sushi, I would definitely put this on your list.My favorites from my visit were the Live Sweet Shrimp (fried head), Uni, Toro, Salmon Belly, Yellowtail, Scallop handroll, and the salmon collar. Like I said, I’m coming back to eat the rest.”

NBC Seafood Restaurant 404 S Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park Chinese • $$
404 S Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park

“There's a reason why NBC Seafood has been in business for so many years. If you know Monterey Park and Alhambra area well, you'd see restaurants come and go so often that it would not be a surprise if you go to the same restaurant the second time and the name has been changed .NBC Seafood is a very good and authentic Cantonese food restaurant. Great place for a family gathering. Food is fantastic and quickly served. Everything seems to come out all at the same time so you'd get to enjoy everything at the same time.We had a party of 9 and we had a great time. And they always give free desserts.I highly recommend this place.”

El Cabo Pepe's (Pepe's Red Tacos) 330 N Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park Deli • $$
330 N Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park

“I must say, I dont eat birria tacos that much, but this was fantastic. Came here on a Saturday night and there was a line. If theres a line, you have to assume that its pretty decent. Since we were out in the area, we really wanted Chinese food, but this place just kept on calling our name. We got the tacos with cheese and the consume on the side. The tacos were so juicy and flavorful an the cheese was just oozing out of the tacos. The consume was salty and almost like a beef broth. 3 tacos were definitely a decent amount since we also ordered other food from a different restaurant. Like all food trucks, there is no where to sit unless its the sidewalk. They also have a variety of other options like burritos, tortas, and quesadillas if tacos arent your thing. Staff was friendly and everything was made hot and quick. It was so hot that my food was still steaming. Would definitely come back again!”

“My first time here trying their food. Since I don’t eat too spicy, so I ordered the non spicy dishes. The fish head and tofu soup was very delicious and full of flavor, but of course lots of bones. Just need to be careful when serving the fish with young kids and seniors. The Yeung Chow fried rice had lots of shrimps, but no BBQ pork. It’s a little bit oily, but tasted good. Maybe I will ask for less oil if I order any fried rice dishes.”

Duck House Restaurant 501 S Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park Chinese • $$$
501 S Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park

“It's been awhile since I've gone to these classic Cantonese restaurants. Usually I would go to these type of places with my family because the dishes are meant for family style. I was able to check out this place with a group of friends. We rented out a separate room for the large party. We got their set menu that included 10items for $658: appetizer combo platter(5item), Peking Duck, baked truffle oil lobster with noodle, mixed seafood crab soup, scallop and shrimp corn, snow pea leaf with golden crab meat sauce, Chiu Chow style steamed whole black cod, filet mignon cubes in black pepper sauce, and Taiwanese style BBQ eel top on sticky rice, sesame rice ball sweet soup. They gave us tanyuan in sweet egg soup as dessert as well as the passion fruit jello. Overall, I think the quality of the food was pretty decent. I really enjoyed the food here. It's definitely on the expensive side. They also provided really good service to us. One of the waiter Vin Chee even performed a small magic show to us at the end. He's an aspiring actor from Singapore. My overall experience was very positive. We stayed from 12:00 to almost 3:00. I would bring my family back here. Also, there's a lot of celebrities that eaten here. I think that's pretty cool.”

3500 W Ramona Blvd, Monterey Park

“This is my second time going to this restaurant. The first time was for brunch and this time it was a date night dinner. There was no wait for a table but I would suggest making a reservation on the weekends. The waiter (Ivan)was very attentive and funny. He is a great asset to this restaurant. We ordered drinks first and when I say that they are not skimpy with the liquor. These margaritas were some of the best we’ve had. We ordered crispy brussel sprouts, steamed broccoli, grilled oysters, shrimp & chicken skewers, and fried patatas. Everything came out hot and fast. The chefs definitely know what they’re doing in the kitchen. This place is has the vibe, the views, and the atmosphere to make any occasion you want to happen, a great experience. I would recommend going to this restaurant if you’ve never been. It also is a great venue for weddings and big parties. Take my word for it, you’ll be happy when you leave.”

You check in with a lady and she gives you a ticket with a number. You wait in the lobby till your number is called.The service is slow and you need to be aggressive to ask for food, and services.

“I've had tons and tons of bbq, including kbbq in Korea, multiple shabu shabus, etc., ever since I was a kid. There's something about this place, however, that is nothing short of magical and genuinely sets it apart for me. I don't know how to describe it - the marinated beef is like bulgogi but 3x better. And the soup is so so good!! Soup, rice, sweet potato porridge, green onions, and butter are all free. Tea is also provided free of charge. Prices are extremely reasonable, especially with a 15% discount for lunch. Do yourself a favor and don't sleep on this living legacy!”

Deerfield Garden Restaurant 130 S Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park Chinese • $$
130 S Atlantic Blvd, Monterey Park

“This place is still KING of the sliced means (I tried Miao Yun, VERY GOOD, one-stop-shop for all your hot pot meats) but this place still has a better quality beef slices. I will give credit where credit is due. This place has been cash only for years and years, Miao Yun opened up in this plaza as their competition and took credit cards, Deerfield Garden took notice and also started to accept credit cards. Their meat is priced reasonably similarly (just a little bit more) but I found that little extra in the price you are getting your value for sure. The meat definitely tastes fresher and the cuts aren't as fatty. They're a lot more consistent here in the beef slices. Miao Yun sometimes is very fatty to sometimes less fatty, every day is a little different. Neither Deerfield Garden or Miao Yun are bad choices. If you're looking to save a little money and not have to go to 99 Ranch to pick up the rest of your hot pot fixings, Miao Yun, they're perfect. They also have a wider selection of weight to choose from, so you're not stuck with just 1lb or 3lb of meat. You can easily get 2lbs if you want. They're very flexible with that, Deerfield Garden on the other hand isn't flexible with its weight. If you're looking for a high-quality hot pot experience with high-quality cut beef or meats or making a meat dish that requires sliced meats, go to Deerfield Garden- their meats always make my hot pot taste like it's from an expensive hot pot restaurant. Maio Yun meats taste more in line with 99 Ranch, with a more made-at-home flavor and quality to it.”
