Cantonese Restaurants in Monterey Park, CA

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

“We had a good experience dining here for breakfast after weeks of craving Hong Kong style milk tea and french toast. Super glad to have tried this place out! Menu is very budget friendly, the portions are huge and the customer service is superb. Will definitely come back to this place.“

“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.

“After a long day in Alhambra, we chose to explore Monterey Park for some dim sum and we stumbled upon Steam Fresh. Their menu is very straight forward with classic dim sum to choose from and more. Everything was so good and fresh! The drinks we got were amazing and the best part of them were free refills! Our server was super attentive as well despite working the register and handing out delivery orders by herself. Definitely coming back here as we had a very pleasant experience overall.“

“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“

“This is by far the most delicious Cantonese restaurant. Too bad they close the temple city branch. I have to drive here to have their lunch special. Menu off the lunch special are also amazing and delicious. It’s truly a gem. Every dish taste amazing. Highly recommended ❤❤❤❤“

“Fantastic HK noodle house in the heart of Monterey Park. The slow braised beef is fantastic, the noodles are supposedly flown in from Hong Kong, the wontons are fresh (but a little salty for my taste), the soup base is on point. Sort of a hole in the wall kinda feel decor, owner speaks English Mandarin and Cantonese. Aside from the some what lack of parking situation (street parking only), there's really nothing to dislike. Price is fair too. Would come again and explore more of the menu.“

“From the outside this looks like a hole in the wall place in a strip mall but inside it's huge and magical! We had a party of 200 people in there and there was still areas for other pattons.
Aside from most of the staff not speaking English to tell us what we were eating when it was brought out we figured it out and everything was uniquely different in its own way!
I usually take food pics but I didn't this time! P.S beer was only 5 bucks a bottle!“

“Yeah!! I still remember being a bit disappointed the first time I went to the Century City location — it just didn’t feel that cute. But this new store has so much atmosphere! Even though the donuts are a bit sweet for me, it’s just really nice sitting here.“

“It is great for family gatherings, a traditional recipes of cantonese Chinese food, workers are friendly, great service, we came for family’s Birthday dinner, we ordered Steam garlic lobster over noodles, Pepper filet mignon, a whole winter melon soup…., the food quality is good, large portions and tasty.“

“Great old-school dim sum spot in Monterey Park! Came here on a weekday and loved the value — most dim sum items were only around $3.68, and the lobster special was a great deal. The traditional push cart style gives it a very classic Cantonese feel. Everything we ordered was tasty, especially the dim sum favorites. Will definitely come back!“

“Saw a post recently about their salted egg yolk chicken wings so I had to check them out! Love salted egg yolk anything. They did not disappoint! So delish outside and the wings were so moist and tender! Loved it! Steamed rice noodles were excellent as was the beef chow fun! The wok hei was 👌🏼. So good I kept wanting to eat more. Loved the on choy (hollow stem veggies) cooked in a spicy fermented tofu sauce, had a little kick. The scrambled eggs with shrimp were cooked to perfection! Shrimp was not overcooked and eggs were moist and fluffy! Baked sole filet rice was huge and cheesy! So good. Everything we had was excellent! Definitely recommend this place for dinner. Sorry I forgot to take pics of menu. Too busy chatting. Service was good too. Restaurant is nice and roomy with high ceilings and nice decor. Great parking too! Plus it’s free!“

“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“

“Monterey Palace Restaurant is a classic Cantonese dining spot in Monterey Park, especially popular for dim sum and large family meals. The restaurant has a big banquet-style dining room that feels lively and busy, especially during weekend brunch.

I stopped by for dim sum, and the variety was impressive. The shrimp dumplings (har gow) were fresh and delicate, while the Portuguese egg tarts were warm, flaky, and slightly sweet. I also tried the roast duck, which had crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat.

The portions are generous, making it a great place to share dishes with a group. The service can be a little fast-paced when it’s busy, but the food quality makes up for it.

Overall, Monterey Palace is a solid spot for traditional Cantonese food and dim sum in the San Gabriel Valley. If you’re looking for a classic Chinese banquet-style restaurant, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“U must try their wonderful variety of dishes and the place is clean.“

“The food was delicious really really good. I’ve been here a few times already and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s a small mountain pop shop and the ladies that serve the food really nice. I am not from Asia, but they make me feel like my mama is serving me food.“
