Noodles in Monterey Park, CA

“If you want authentic Burmese Food, go there. Not pricy, yummy food and warmly welcoming environment.
I really wanted Shan noodle with Tofu but mostly Burmese Restaurant only offered Shan Noodle, but this one has it. So I ordered Shan Tofu Noodle and it’s so fresh. Monhikha is good but texture is thick.
The place is hard to find as it’s really small inside. Waiting time for food is so long, for me, I waited for about 20 25 mins to get my food after already ordering. The lunch special deal is good one.“

“We enjoyed the food so much! And the portions are so generous. Everything was absolutely great, waiters are super nice and fast. Popcorn chicken was great, the beef rolls are spectacular and the mango drink is very generous and yummy. I really only have good words, this is easily the best Taiwanese restaurant in the area :)“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“very good noddles .and service very respectfully.“

“Been coming here since high school and my favorite dishes are their bun Rieu (tomato crab and pork meat ball soup) - the best because they use CRAB and not shrimp. That to me makes a big difference

Their eggrolls are huge and packed with crab and pork too. Passionfruit tea refillable.

Bun Bo hue with either classic bun noodles or pho noodles is a great dish too.“

“Pretty solid spot for congee cravings! I still have yet to try the rest of their menu but their food offerings look pretty decent. The restaurant is clean and the owners are pleasant. The only downside is the place is not ideal for bigger parties as there are about only 4 tables inside. We were also lucky to get parking from the front of the restaurant.“

“Trying out the very 1st time after spotting high rating reviews on line!
1). Hainan Chicken rice: 4.5-star
I picked the dark meat, but it’s mostly fatty skin w/very limited meat. It must be a skinny chicken😣Chicken is very flavorful. Ginger sauce is tasty although the sauce portion could be a bit more!
I can barely taste if there’s chicken broth flavored in the rice, rice itself rather chewy. I put some soy sauce served w/this chicken dish, and it kicks up way more flavor!
Soup is also comes w/the dish, it’s got some Chinese herbal flavor, which is quite diff from any other restaurants🤗
Cucumber salad underneath the chicken is crispy fresh.Overall this is a staple item on their menu, the only problem is that I can hardly get much of meat other than skin…😣
2). Kaya Toast:3-star
The server brought in upon me finishing Hainan Chicken rice, which they are fully aware w/the pase in serving it, nice touch!
Toast is still warm n crunchy. However, the greenish cream inside is only sweet w/o any uniqueness of taste, such as sugar cane or coconut butter sort of. It’s rather bland. I’m glad I didn’t ask to put more butter on it, as it’s quite buttery already.
Decor is simple fast food type.“

“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“

“The food and services are excellent. We eat here every time we visit!“

“That was quite a delightful gritty food spot.

#12 Beef stew - the beef stew soup is quite rich in texture. You’ll be so full with 1 serving.

#26 Fujian Shrimp and Pork dry noodle was also quite excellent !“

“I just came across this place by chance and got interested in ‘rice noodles’ and never had any dish from Guilin before. I was pleasantly surprised to find a gems of cuisine! The owners are super-friendly and especially generous condiment booth much more so than any restaurants I’d seen. Plus the price is super economical. Because of such pleasant personalities and exceptional services of the owner couple, it makes the ambiance so unique and very cozy to dine in. Not to mention the taste of the dish is great! I love the chewy round rice noodles that seems to be hand-made. It reminds me of simple noodles made laboriously I encountered in a remote village in Laos where they called it ‘Khao Pun’ made fro slightly fermented rice that was pounded, steam and pounded again so the texture is soft but chewy. It came in delicious meat sauce. I got pork belly and beef ribs. I was surprised that beef ribs were debone making it very pleasant to eat. This place is a rare find and I’ll be back to try other dishes again“

“I lived in China for 14 years and this is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I have eaten at in Los Angeles. There is a dish at the restaurant called Pídàn qiézǐ （皮蛋茄子）. It's a preserved egg and eggplant combination. Sounds funky, tastes amazing. Don't expect eggs rolls, rangoons, & fortune cookies, but if you want a taste of central China without the air fare and hassle of getting a visa, go to Chef Fu's. 好吃！“

“I’m from New York and have visited twice now. This place is truly great—generous portions and delicious food. It’s a small shop, but very clean. I really like it. If you’re visiting Monterey Park, give it a try; it’s highly recommended.“

“This spot is my favored. I eat in many restaurants but to this restaurant I constantly return again and again. The team is very cordial and the cooking they offer is so appetizing. I would always prefer to have a decent dinner here. Highly recommended.“

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes“

“The Daikokuya ramen is soo delicious and very filling.“

“12/27/2019 鮮🦐腸粉加🥚 & 菜乾咸排骨瑤柱花生粥. 好吃,😋價錢合理 🤗👍“

“The soup is very delicious and traditional. That’s a nice experience when I am homesick during my long term business trip here.“

“If someone ask me where to go for authentic Chinese food, this place is it, especially if you like spicy food! There are so many cold appetizer dishes that you can pick right behind a glass bar. I have been to many places that have cold dishes, but this place is more tastier! The menu has a good selection too. Price has gone up a bit but I'm happy to pay for the authenticity and real Chinese food! Whenever my family and I are in the area, we always stop by here. Highly recommend this place!“

“Bigggggg portions! Bring your stomach! We came at a random time and the auntie who works there was there to work! She's immediately recommend the dishes and the add-ons. Despite our language barrier, she quickly took our order and the food came out fast. We ordered their signature rice noodles with medium spicy level, which is perfect. Great place, chill vibe, spacious lounging area.“

“Family run spot, get the tomato and egg noodles. One of the best things I’ve ever eaten. LOADED with garlic and delicious chewy handmade noodles.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews, some of those people take themselves too seriously.“

“This dim sum restaurant inside a hotel has an elegant, upscale feel. I enjoy the quieter atmosphere, which makes it a relaxing place to eat. The dim sum is beautifully made and delicious. The only downside is that it costs more than a typical Chinese restaurant, but I still enjoy coming here.“

“Foo, listen. When the lady taking your order has bread flour on her shirt you know it is going to be fresh.

My family loved the breakfast. House crepe comes with preserved tofu sauce. Crepe was kinda like roti. Everything handmade. Fair prices EOY 2025. 4 adult 1 kid ~60 bucks.

Wish the menu had photos for us ABCs, but you can see better pics on Yelp.“

“I buy two get one free Sandwiches. For atmosphere or is what you make it, witty l with whom your accompanied with. Be patient when ordering they are friendly, I don't recommend for you to be in a hurry if you come here, but your wait is worth it.“

“Very quick & friendly service at the Sunset location. All I got was a regular-size chicken karaage bowl and it was perfect. Tipped a little extra“

“Watching the chefs hand pull and prepare the noodles fresh right in front of you makes the whole experience even more special. You can really taste the difference. The noodles had the perfect texture, and the broth was incredibly rich, flavorful, and comforting. Every bite tasted fresh and made with care. The service was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. This has easily become one of my favorite places for authentic, freshly made noodles, and I'll definitely be back again. Highly recommended“

“Best buns and dumplings in Southern California. They make wonders with flour and pork. They also don’t speak English, so I normally just point at the menu. Nothing is bad on the menu except the seafood. If you get something fried, try to dine in to get the texture right. If you get fennel buns, make sure you like the taste of fennel because there’s nothing subtle about that one. Pork and cabbage is the safest bet.“
