43 Best Asian Restaurants near Monterey Park

“I love coming to T-Kebob! However, the last time I came here I noticed their prices have jumped and they no longer serve their lamb and beef skewers in orders of 10. This is my favorite spot for skewers though and their corn cheese is perfect! They've also switched brands for their Taiwanese sausage and it doesn't taste as good.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Even through storms does NT Noodles provide their delicious variety of dishes and noodles to us, where their passion can be tasted in their food, and their care in each dish set down by the cooks themselves. Their easygoing attitudes, clean and green atmosphere, and location provides a good stop for food during shopping!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“Great date spot, sure to impress! The katsu has a rich flavor and superior texture, melt in your mouth with a layer of crunch. The Matcha Yuzu Ade was so good my partner and I started making our own at home. Kind staff as well, we sat at the booth and it was fun watching the kitchen. I live far away from this place but otherwise would be a regular.“

“Very clean place 👌. Friendly staff. Very accommodating. My friend requested vegetable pho, which they provided eve though it was not listed on the menu. I tried the beef pho. Very delicious. They played nice modern music. Coming fort the winter. BTW Good size bowls 👍😋“

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

“The food was amazing. The young gentleman that took Our order Fi was very polite. He gave a lot inside because it was our first time. The only minor thing I would change is for the weekend maybe adding another person to help because they do get busy and that might ease the fluctuation of service Because from what I was able to see, they get really busy other than that. It was amazing. Will definitely be returning“

“I came here on a packed Sat night. The place was dim and spacious. I loved the setup; ordering on the electronic pad reminded me of Korea!
I tried the chicken gizzards with soju. The gizzards were so good! I loved how they were prepared. The service was good, too.“

“The food here is spicy but really tasty, especially the fried chicken. The people and the boss here is friendly.Find a good spot for my whole family because the noodle here is my children’s favorite. Recommend beef soup noodle and the tomato egg noodle for the kids. The noodle is handmaded and fresh!“

“Absolutely delicious! I decided to try this place today and I'm immediately reviewing to get people to support this local gem. I had the tofu vegetable combo plate and it was tasty as hell. The tofu was soft, the veggies had the perfect bite, and the brown sauce was well seasoned. The entire dish was warm and light enough that I almost cleaned my plate despite it being so satisfying. I'm happy I was able to bring some home for later and will be going back regularly now!“

“Cute Mom and Pop restaurant!

Lots of different food options and drinks!

Curry potato Croquette 5 stars!

Menchi curry BOMBBBBB but spicy 🥵 (I can’t eat much spicy but it’s good!) loving the crunch

Pork katsu sandwich - big size portion and the fries are perfectly crispy!“

“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 😋😋👌🏼“

“This is a hidden gem in the city of San Marino. Hidden amongst the tall trees along Huntington, you’ll drive right past it if you’re not paying close attention! Nonetheless-this place is clean, fresh, and friendly. The food is solid and the Cantonese tastes are spot on. It is the type of comfort food that will keep you coming back.“

“I’ve come here many times—it’s one of my favorite restaurants. The beef noodle soup is my go-to, but honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite because everything is delicious.

Highly recommend the dumplings—they’re handmade, and you can even buy them frozen at a great price. The server reminds me of my aunties, and the food tastes like grandma made it. It’s like a cozy Sunday at mom’s, and she just brought out the menudo.

I also love that the music stays true to the culture. They play Mandarin songs, not some watered-down English playlist. It makes the whole experience feel authentic—like I’ve been invited into someone’s home. I’m always happy here. 🥰“

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

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Oh my this place have a long list of food on their menu, I like that. I'm going back to try their other dish. My first time here to buy food for my brother who injured his right foot. I was surprised on the food options and service was great.“

“Going here is a trade-off: you get good food quality and quantity, but the service and vibe are bad. You’ll eat well, but the hostess might be rude and you’ll likely have to wait. $30 for all-you-can-eat sushi is a fair price for those concessions.

The tablet ordering is good because you don’t have to deal with the staff. Once you actually sit down and start ordering, the service is quick. The sushi was high quality and Menu A has enough variety. They constantly nag you about the 90-minute limit, the wait times between rounds, and the extra charges for unfinished food. It’s annoying, but it won't stop me from stuffing my face.“

“The food here is exceptional. I’ve only had the fried rice, beef chicken, shrimp etc but it’s perfect, and I know because I eat this kind of food a lot and it’s noticeably better. You get a free egg roll and even soup if you want it. And after all that you’re getting a big discount per pound. This is one place where they might need to be told to raise the price to stay in business. It has a nice little at home feeling. It’s definitely flying under the radar so buy now before it’s too late! Oh yeah, and I remember asking for a second egg roll. On the house! They didn’t charge me, again.“

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

“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.“

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

“whoa. a gem! tucked away deep in a community club and completely unassumming. the sweet thai lady at the counter gave great service and suggested the thai noodle dishes. got the spicy noodle and am so impressed. great prices, good portion, delicious. wow.“

“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“

“They’re new, 6 months old .

It is a Cantonese restaurant that serves some faves.

I got the rice roll with beef stew. That was really good!

The salted chicken rice was ok, nothing g to rave about. Hope they serve with more chicken.

Not to miss is the chili sauce. It is the garlicky spicy variety.“

“Located inside Sheraton hotel next to the bar area. We tried seafood tasting menu. Food was good but nothing to rave about. Most of the dishes used crab meat for the main or for garnishment: It was overdone. Service was good, nice ambiance although lights were turned off in some part of the restaurant.“

“Have been to Eagle Rock Kitchen many times and like it. Fast and friendly service, delicious and nutritious meals, vegan included. I recommend ERK whether your vegetarian or not. A lot of choices.“

“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.“

“Muy buena comida y buena atención!💯“

“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.“

“Solid, fast, grab-and go lunch. I ordered the chicken rice bowl through their website/branded Doordash. This location is part of the Allied Food to Go ghost kitchen, and pickup was easy. Do keep in mind that they don't provide detailed allergen info or accept special instructions.“

“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.“

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

“First time visit, it was a beautiful establishment. The servers are wonderful and the food is amazing. I highly recommend this place. I don't like crowds so it was perfect for lunch I'm sure this place would been super busy for the night life.“

“There are a lot of amazing restaurants in Los Angeles. The Barn is my favorite.

The concept: a no frill take on the very best of Asian foods from Japan, China and Korea.

Service: the service at the Barn is amazing. The waiters that work there are all cool and welcoming when you come in, although,
It’s not a red carpet kind of place m, they know you are there for the food! They’ve managed to reduce a number of steps which allows you to get your foods faster. Ordering is done on your mobile device via a QR code by your table. Almost as soon as you ‘submit your order,’ food starts arriving! I absolutely love this and wish more restaurants would adopt this. The waiters regularly come by and are always more than happy to grab something out missed it. Clicking ‘request check’ on the mobile device and they will bring the ticket by promptly.

Food:
The absolute highlight of the barn is the chefs creations. The Green Beans are absolutely to die for. I don’t know what the special ingredients they use are, but my mouth is watering thinking about this speciality! They offer yakitori; the teriyaki chicken is a favorite along with the wagyu beef. The bacon wrapped asparagus is on the regular order list, along with the cheese corn which is some of the best I’ve had. I don’t get it every time I’m there but the spicy firecracker chicken wings are amazing!

Ambiance:
A single row of tables line the restaurant adorn with cool decorations throughout the restaurant. One of my favorite things about visiting the barn is the eclectic choice of music they play which changes up every night.

Wish I could give The Barn 35 out of 5 stars but they only allow me to select five stars. Hope you get to try it out and enjoy it as well!“

“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.“

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

“True Cantonese flavor! Super friendly service.. both the dad and the son chef thanks us for coming even though we didn’t orders the expensive dishes.. passed by and decided to give it a try.. the seafood fried noodle was delicious.. good size shrimps and good portion.. the surprise was the homey steamed chicken with wood mushroom. Haven’t ever seen this on a restaurant in all these year and the portion was huge and it was their special $10.99 .. definitely will go back again and explore more dishes.. oh.. love the Herme ‘ copy tea @ set & dishes..“

“Formerly Delicious Food Corner. But I suspect they are still secretly Delicious Food Corner. Even employees wear Delicious Food Corner T-shirts. Haha. No big deal.

This place won me over with its wonton noodle soup. It was excellent! The wontons had great flavor and the noodles had the perfect texture- not too plasticky. Sorry, no photos. Typical looking wonton noodle soup, but just tastier. IMO, better than Sam Woo BBQ and other HK-syle cafes.

The other dishes were good. They offer dim sum too. So we can have some dim sum and other traditional HK dishes.

Garden Cafe was too busy and had no open parking spaces, so we went across the street. I'm glad we did. I'll be back for more.

Shrimp Rolls. Yummy. Crispy shrimp in Chinese savory donut, wrapped in steamed rice crepe.

COMPLEX: You got the soft, warm, rice sticky rice rolls, sitting in sweet soy dim sum sauce. Then when you bite into it, you get the crispy crunchy donut with shrimp paste on the insde.“
