33 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Monterey Park

“I love their pastrami dip sandwiches. Full of meat and good bread. One thing for sure they are consistent. Their meat is always moist, tender and with flavor. Check cliseingtimes out. Usually half hour before posted time.The one on Atlantic closes at 1am not 130am. All the restaurants, I have gone to a few, are clean including bathrooms. I drive from LA to enjoy this treat. All are either in Pasadena or east of LA. I wish their was one in the south bay/ LA area.Other foods are offered too. Staff are polite.“

“Best sushi in LA! Everything melted in your mouth! The fish is fresh, the price is affordable, and the service is great! It looks like a hole in the wall - but wow :)) We eat there once a week and love it! Drove all the way from Studio City to have dinner there - 2 hours each way in traffic - so that's obviously what it says :)) Haha Just love it!“

“Really good spot for takeout pho. The broth was super flavorful and still hot when I got home, which I really appreciated. Everything was packed neatly and the portions were actually pretty generous for the price.

I got the pho to-go and the ingredients all tasted fresh, especially the herbs and bean sprouts. Service was quick and easy too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to whenever I want something warm and comforting after a long day 🍜“

“Excellent service. Great beer. Great food. I Love the ambiance.“

“This coffee is one of the best coffees I’ve had. The salted date cold foam was incredible, with such a great balance of slightly sweet and salty. The sesame cortado was also great, with a strong nuttiness and potency you don’t always find in every sesame coffee drink. Highly highly recommend this little gem in Monterey park!“

“Pastry was dry, but the curry filling was yummy with a touch of spicy. Fan Tuan (purple rice) was amazing, total hit with the husband and kiddos. My husband doesn't care for pickled veggies, but he stated it actually works really well in the roll with all the other ingredients. My kids call it Chinese kimbap and it was an amazing, easy, quick and clean lunch for the kiddos at the airport. Definitely coming back to try other items on their menu. Front lady was nice and made funny jokes and smart remarks. Lol“

“And they were having a promotion where if I leave a review, I get a free drink so I’m grateful for that. The tea was good. There was only a little bit of miscommunication with customizing a drink and they make you do the review before they give you the drink so other than that I will definitely come back.“

“If you’re looking for authentic China Tianjin-style Chinese food in Los Angeles, this place is an absolute gem.

Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and tasted just like the breakfast and street food you would find in Tianjin. The pork and green onion steamed buns were outstanding—soft, fluffy dough with juicy, flavorful filling. At $13 for 8 large buns, the value is amazing.

The savory tofu pudding (doufunao) was rich and comforting, the jianbing (Chinese crepe) was made fresh with the perfect crispy texture, and the red bean pastry was delicious without being overly sweet. We also tried the beef tendon dish, which was tender, well-seasoned, and full of flavor.

What impressed me most was how authentic everything tasted. Nothing felt watered down or overly Americanized. Every dish reminded me of the flavors I grew up with in northern China.

Before driving back to the Bay Area, we even bought fresh pork & green onion buns, chive buns, and seafood buns to take home because they were just that good.

Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Tianjin style cuisine. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Los Angeles!

As someone who has eaten Tianjin food for many years, I truly appreciate the care and authenticity that goes into every dish. It’s not easy to find this level of quality in the U.S. Thank you for bringing a real taste of Tianjin to Los Angeles. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Very good ! Love it Nice place“

“I don’t usually stay for dine-in. I always ask my husband to pick up orders for us. We call it grandma’s restaurant— just because we’ve been eating their food ever since my 5-year-old was born.
We store their frozen dumplings in our fridge instead of buying brand name at the Asian grocery.

Spicy wontons, beef noodle soup, lamb and cumin, knife cut noodles, braised eggplant, 3 cup chicken, mapo tofu, salt pepper pork chops, jiajiangmian (our favorite), braised pork belly, dumplings, fish in black bean sauce, tomato and egg, chow fun

Yes that’s my go-to orders. lol Please tell me if there’s something else, I will definitely try it out! Our family is very grateful for their cooking! I just love them!“

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.“

“This was mine and my friends first time coming here during happy hour, the bartender was very nice and attentive with a great personality. She made it 🙌 a great time.. the drinks 🍸 were great 👍 thank you Dee for the great experience..Will be back..“

“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“

“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.“

“Shrinkflation is real, haven't been here since 2019, but they're still quite tasty. Cash only, prices aren't as high as expected. You don't really need to talk to them if you prefer that, just fill in what you want on their menu and pay. Familiar HK fare but quite delicious“

“This Sunright location has been a solid spot in my boba rotation for years. It's quite a small shop with no seating, just a place to order and go. They have two self ordering kiosks at the back which is great especially when it's busy. However, I'd always prefer to order online anyways to remove any wait time at all.

Interior is pretty clean and staff is pretty quick, parking is plentiful, street parking and parking lot in the back.

My go to drinks here is always the oreo brulee and the white peach milk teas. Both are very refreshing and always delciious regardless of weather. It can get a bit sweat for the oreo brulee but a sugar adjustment does the trick. I like that their cups are one of the more higher quality feel than other shops. Simple design yet modern and classic at the same time. The bottom is sturdy but has a round outer layer, very unique as other shops don't have that style.

Overall, great drinks, extensive menu, and options for all kinds of tea lovers. They have other locations as well but this location is one that's been around for a long time, very consistent for the most part. Keep a look out for events they do on social media and also recommend downloading the Toast app to collect points.“

“Wow its delicious food l love it❤️“

“The Tea or Not Tea is the question. Let’s dine into this new tea adventure.

The Tea is a popular local tea shot in Monterey. They are located in a shopping plaza on Atlantic avenue. Their tea drinks are compendious. Staff were competent. It was my first time here and was impressed with their tea drinks. I had an Avocado smash smoothie and Mango pomelo sago. Both were very good at an affordable price. This tea shop is welcoming and relaxing.

Overall, I enjoyed their drinks. I recommend it.“

“I tried Einstein Bros for the first time and it’s become my absolute favorite 🤩
I love the avocado, egg and tomato or the bacon avocado. It’s delicious. The hash browns are good too. But alittle small. Coffee could be a bit warmer. But overall I love this place and I think it’s been a great addition to Monterey park. Wish they’d open in the evenings. 😇“

“This place is open from morning until 4 PM. The soondubu (soft tofu stew) is freshly made every day, so it’s always very fresh. They also offer soy milk made from ground soybeans, available in both sweetened and unsweetened versions. However, it takes quite a long time after ordering for the food to arrive. The service is average.“

“the service treatment & hospitality“

“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!“

“I got an Expresso Tonic and it was amazing! The garlic pastry was so good too. The parking is limited but there are two parking structures on the sides you can use and walk over a little. I hope they do well so they can stay since nit many people around here make Expresso Tonics in Monterey Park.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went yesterday (weekend) the wait was fine. Placed an order on the machine and got the order in 5-10 minutes. The original milk tea is divine. Maybe they were unprepared when they first opened looking at other reviews but it’s fine now in my opinion.“

“one of my favorite malatang spots with lots of fresh toppings & a great sauce bar. will say that broth can be pretty inconsistent here in terms of taste & spice which is the only thing keeping this place from being a 5/5. service is always great & fast though“

“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.“

“The hotdogs ? here are really good. I enjoyed it. I rarely come here. I rarely eat hotdogs, and they do taste good.
The acai smoothie is sweet.. I would suggest sharing it with someone else and drinking a lot of water with it. It is too sweet. I appreciate the service here. Thank you. ?“

“My kids knew of this place and suggested it. There is a drive-thru with workers working the line of cars. We opted to park and order at the walk-up window. There were no lines at the time we arrived, thankfully.

The menu is simple. Five choices with drinks and extras. Catering is available. Cashier was courteous and patient. My name was called after a five minute wait, not bad.

Overall the food is good, environment is comfortable, and staff is great.

Thank you and God bless.“

“Consistently excellent! The drinks are always made just right, and the baristas are friendly and efficient, even during rush hours. The place is clean, cozy, and perfect for getting some work done or catching up with friends. Easily my favorite go-to coffee spot!“

“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“
