Monterey Palace Restaurant Reviews
Great food and service
Great HK cantonese foods, good w/ family, friends to meet up. Good services, friendly staff, parking, w/ handicap access.
The food was good. But dang!!!! The waiter was rude. The manager apologized for his behavior. It still shouldn’t have happened. The old grumpy guy should not be interacting with customers if he can’t be nice. Then had the audacity to go smoke a cigarette in front of restaurant and stared me down.

Monterey Palace Restaurant in Monterey Park, California offers decent dim sum at a good price. The ha gow and sui mai were plump and good, while the taro root cakes were light. The atmosphere is nice with Chinese TV channels playing. The staff is quick and efficient, making it a gem for reservations. One customer highly recommends the Shiu Mai with Shrimp Roe, Crispy Golden Cream Buns, Chicken Feet with Abalone Sauce, and Steamed Shrimp Dumpling for delicious and fresh dim sum. The Crispy Golden Cream Buns with egg pudding inside were a favorite. They also have a golden bun with pork in it which is essentially their baked pork bun. Their standouts were the rice rolls and their golden buns. Despite busy parking, the restaurant offers takeout options and ample seating inside with plenty of tables. The restaurant is also appreciated for opening early at 9 AM, making it a good spot for early risers craving dim sum. Customers note that orders are placed on a sheet of paper rather than carts circling around. The manager and staff are friendly and helpful. It is a great place to host a banquet, reception, or a wedding. The food is great and amazing, the price is affordable and decent, and they give a generous amount of food.
