Cantonese Restaurants in Monterey Park, CA

“Great spot for HK breakfast! The beef congee was perfection. Noodle soup and toast were great too. Classic menu and family local vibe. Everything came out fast. The server didn’t really speak English (and I don’t really speak Chinese) but it was totally fine just made sure to point at specifically what I wanted. Milk tea was not too sweet!!“

“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!“

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

“Restaurant was very crowded on a Sunday lunch but we managed to get a table very quickly. Push carts came fast and we ordered hastily. On hindsight, we should slowly look at the menu and decide instead of being pressured by the cart ajunmas.Food is kinda meh. Dim Sum pieces are big but the skin is also very thick. Braised Chicken feet were good, Kai lan was good but the Xiao long bao, cheong fun and har kao were sub-standard.“

“The food is delicious! the rice roll is very chewy and soft, have great texture! I come back here every time for the beef brisket noodle soup, because the noodle is so so good and beef is flavorful and tender, it has great amount of meat with reasonable prices!“

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

“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!“

“I don’t know why we haven’t been here for so long! We used to come often but with all these new places and so many options we kind of forgot about this place. Food was delicious!! We ordered some of our regular items and this places is so far really really good! I need to just remember to suggest this place the next time the fam wants to go out for dinner“

“Young chow fried rice is disappointing. It can only be labeled as young chow style FR or shrimp and char siu FR. It is missing lots of key ingredients like sea cucumbers, mushrooms, green peas, and scallops. However, what they lacked in FR has been made up in reverse osmosis ice water. No tab water served here.“

“Capital Seafood is one of my favorite Dim Sum restaurants in LA. They offer all the traditional Dim Sum dishes, and everything is incredibly fresh, served from old-school push carts. The service is top-notch. Whether you’re a Dim Sum lover or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommended. Don't forget to try the delicious desserts.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

“Longten Cafe offers a nice, inviting atmosphere with its design, large window area and well laid out seating. You don't feel cramped, and with the high ceiling it isn't too noisy, even when full. The menu offers standard dishes you would expect to see in a Hong Kong style cafe, and several more that are classic but not commonly found. If you like spice, I highly recommend their fish in spicy chili oil...it is a huge bowl filled with a very large amount of chunks of fish and vegetables in a quite spicy chili oil. The vegetable choices here are pretty nice by the way, they are fresh and it's nice to see them offered. The service is very cheery and helpful, and it is easy to get hold of staff if you need anything. Prices are reasonable, but moderate.

Vegetarian options: There is a nice selection of vegetable dishes, plus you can modify a couple and create them. Interesting vegetables are offered: lotus root, lady fingers, wood ear mushrooms, etc. Tofu of course.

Parking: Parking is underground. There is street parking, but it's difficult. Use the garage instead.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of families come here. No children's menu that I'm aware of, but high chairs are available.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator from the garage, and seating is easy to accommodate inside the restaurant.“

“11am-5pm Daily Lunch Special with rice and soup. Our favorite simple Canto LUNCH SPECIAL restaurant, and just takeout Chinese restaurant overall!! Its not the best, but quality is decent, and they have the variety I like.

Depending on what you order, it can be oily, especially the dishes we ordered this time. This visit, it felt like Chinese fast food but better quality. Maybe it was a different chef today? Many places offer too much meat, become a carbo load place, or it's just more mainland China taste and dishes. This place is typical OG Canto lunch specials. They give alot of meat and veggies.

Lunch special prices:
1. Pan fried String Beans with Minced pork $12.99
3. Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce $12.99. Forgot this dish here is too oily and soggy for us.
29. Beef with Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce $14.99. We've been trying to get into the bitter melon life for better health.
32. Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce $14.99.
57. Preserved Vegetable with Pork Intestine $15.99. Will order again because we love intestine. They give alot.
We ordered to a certain point where lobster was an additional deal for us...$30 lobster.
Lunch Special soup is always the typical light version. Rice is typical, nothing special, nothing bad.

This visit, we ordered pretty oily items. In previous visits we ordered different dishes. Lettuce and tofu, and shredded bamboo tofu fungus we're not for us last time. We're not into sweet and sour dishes, sweet, spare ribs but we have tried it here; it's not for us but good for those who usually like those dishes. I'll probably order the house special dish (lotus, sausage, fungus), seafood crispy chow mein, crispy intestine, walnut shrimp, jelly fish again.

I'm not a fan of the new popular fad of Canto breakfast specials around 626 SGV. My mom loves deals and loves lunch special...but I think her social circle has changed (with age too) to breakfast special.

We also order (full price) takeout too.“

“First time here. The soy bone soup and rice here are unlimited and free, and they taste good. I had three dishes for lunch today, Longli fish, beef, and signature chicken. I felt the taste was a bit salty, especially the Longli fish. Maybe to be more in line with American tastes? Overall, the environment is quiet and not noisy. By the way, lunch and dinner prices are different because the portions are different.“

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

“I just happened upon this place while shopping nearby. I came in because the pictures of fried noodles in the window looked good, but I ended up ordering more breakfast dishes; congee, shrimp rice noodle with egg, and scallion pancake. The menu looks like classic Hong Kong / Cantonese comfort food. It was all very good. I will definitely be back for more of that shrimp rice noodle and to explore the rest of the menu.“

“Although the price of dim sum is a bit high nowadays, it is very delicious and fresh. We came on a Sunday around noon and I was expecting an older food but surprisingly it was still fresh and very tasty. For example, the Macau Crispy Salted Pork Knuckle is still crispy and delicious, the colorful Beef Baiye is fresh and crispy, and the Pumpkin Steamed Pork Ribs is tender and juicy.“
