Today is its last day in business after 30+ years serving the community. I was told that it would be replaced by a restaurant serving Northern Chinese food.

Very authentic Shanghainese food. Too bad they will be closing the end of the year. There is not any good Shanghainese in SGV.

Fine authentic Shanghai cuisine we are accustomed to. Comfort home-cooking food. Great variety at a fair price. Quality food that can stand the test of time.

The food was pretty bad. We ordered three dishes: 红烧划水，孜然羊肉，冬菇青江菜。They didn’t taste like Shanghainese cuisine at all. The fish dish used a wrong type of fish and in a totally pinkish sauce. Hubby tried a bite and stopped eating. The lamb dish was so salty that we could not get a second bite. I gave 2 stars because they replaced the lamb dish after we complained. Don’t come here if you are looking for authentic Shanghainese food.

My family has been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years now and the food never disappoints. Favorites include the pork shank, bamboo shoots and pork, stir fry shrimp and fish with white wine sauce. The staff are friendly and treat us well whenever we come in.

It used to be my place when i crave for Shanghai food. Favorite dishes are their shredded pork bamboo shoots, small ribs and pork pump n fried noodles. Not sure what happened last time the dishes were off and tasteless without any wok armora. May be change of chefs? Very disappointed.

Great pork hock or pock shank. We had a dish that was suggested that went well with beer. I'd suggest my friends to this place for Shanghai food and definitely would revisit. Thanks for Great food
Nice little place, and very nice people. Service was great and the food was really enjoyable. We look forward to returning to try some of the other dishes. We really enjoyed our meal. Would definitely recommend it.

The restaurant's atmosphere is comfy, and the food tastes great. The staff was friendly, and dishes came out super fast. Prices were reasonably cheap too, would recommend!

Lake Spring is the restaurant of choice for our family members in Monterey Park. The restaurant offers authentic and delicious Chinese foods. We always enjoy their dishes during our visits in the past 20 years under the same ownership.

Authentic Shanghai food with consistency every visit, excellent customer service and very reasonable prices! It's been years since my last review, because I hardly ever post reviews. This spot though no doubt deserves an updated review from me. My absolute favorite is taro with pork belly. Will for sure be back!
