14 Best Seafood Restaurants in Monterey Park

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

“We had a wonderful family birthday dinner at Duck House! The 3-course Beijing duck was absolutely fantastic, and the combination fried rice and crab soup were delicious too.

Thanks to Catherine and the friendly, attentive staff. The inside dining area had such a warm and cozy atmosphere, which made our celebration even more special.

Highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time for ordering Beijing Duck. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This is by far the most delicious Cantonese restaurant. Too bad they close the temple city branch. I have to drive here to have their lunch special. Menu off the lunch special are also amazing and delicious. It’s truly a gem. Every dish taste amazing. Highly recommended ❤❤❤❤“

“Jumpin’ Lobster was a good deal for $12.99 a lb! Came with a big piece of corn and a potato! Both were really good! Not mushy. We enjoyed the salt and pepper crab too. The place was not too busy so it was a good place to hang and catch up. Shrimp was big and fresh! Will definitely be back!“

“If you want good chinese food
This isnt a bad spot

The waiters speak decent english so its easy to communicate and they recommend solid dishes
If you come and need a private room, they can accomodate too. Parking structure is in the front so quite easy“

“Absolutely lovely seafood boil place. Reminds me of boiling crab but everything is delicious with its Cajun seasoning and such. Definitely recommend it if you wanna eat something messy. They have deals for 2,3, and 4 person groups that are quite delectable and well priced. Just be wary that if you bring your significant other. They will likely see you drenched kn sweat unless you choose the mild option 😉 😄“

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

“Yeah!! I still remember being a bit disappointed the first time I went to the Century City location — it just didn’t feel that cute. But this new store has so much atmosphere! Even though the donuts are a bit sweet for me, it’s just really nice sitting here.“

“Service was accommodating but communication was difficult as only a few could understand English.
Food is good, may not be to my experience in HK restaurants.
Would come back without hesitation as I hardly cook anymore 😕“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Quick, polite service and carts move around. Dim sum 4 plus on weekends. Eight steamers came to 50 plus tax and tip. Servers get for you what’s not in the carts yet if it’s in the kitchen. 2/person tea charge. Lobsters for 16.99 are very small though and 29.99 crab deal also not big. Duck special is alright but is worth two stamps. Place is packed on Sunday and waited about five minutes for a table.“

“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.“
