Shanghainese Restaurants near Monterey Park, CA

“Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!“

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

“Was trying to find a place for lunch on a random weekday. This place is excellent. Give the small hole in the wall vibe but inside is pretty spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and the food is excellent.

I will say parking can be difficult but that shouldn’t surprise anyone in the area. Small underground lot if you can’t find anything upstairs

Had the braised beef plate. Big portions, tasty and well braised beef. Veggies on the side were on the saltier side for my liking, but overall I’d get it again.

Got the beef noodle soup as well. I thought the broth could be a littler more “rich”, on the lighter side than I usually like it.

Not pictured but also tried the pork spare rib noodle soup. The spare ribs were tasty and fell off the bone.

Overall enjoyed the food and staff. Would come back again to try some other dishes like the braised pork“

“We had a large party and they were able to accommodate us. The food was delicious! The best salt and pepper pork chops and string beans I've had. The steamed flounder was also very good, and so was the whole catfish with garlic sauce. We got 12 or 13 dishes, and these were definitely the faves of the group. It's an older building, but we went for the food, so it didn't bother us. 100% recommend!“

“Good food. Good service. Prices are reasonable.

Parking: It shares lots with other stores. Sometimes it could be a little bit difficult to find a spot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Go through the back door.“

“Great service, they even give away 8 inches free 🎂 too“

“This location is in Arcadia next to 99 Ranch Market. Parking is plentiful in the parking lot. Sunright is also next door.

I think this is a good place to get Shanghainese food. There are no frills. If you pay cash, you get a discount. I was here for dinner, and they ran out of some items already!

I ended up getting a noodle soup, which was so delicious on a cold night. The black sesame mochi roll was actually really delectable. I recommend sharing this because it gets carb-y. There is one restroom in the back.

Credit card is accepted.“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Five stars for the amazing time I had with my Ad Gals. The service was great, quicker and friendlier than most places nearby ⭐️

My favorite dishes were the jellyfish and the eel 🤤 the marinade raw crab and the lightly fried fish filet are also good.

Not sure what the sign at front is about but better safe than sorry 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️🫶photos for your reference below.“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years with my family. Amazing, very authentic Shanghainese food (the chef grew up in changning qu!) with incredible staff all around. Hard to pick a favorite dish, but you’d be best off ordering the regional dishes over something more generic!My personal favorites are the 葱烤鲤鱼, 上海小排骨 and the 上海炒年糕 :)“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“Great food, location and service“

“Delicious comfort food with lots of options and good portions. They have a wide variety of noodles, rice, wontons, and others. Everything was delicious and amazing value. The staff are very friendly and treat you like family. The interior is very clean and aesthetic.“

“One of the most authentic Chinese dumpling places. My favorite dish is an appetizer, cucumber with garlic.

Parking: We always go a little early or a little late for lunch/dinner, so parking is always available.

Wheelchair accessibility: Dine in area is wheel accessible, but the rest room, round the back, isn't.“

“Food was delicious, and service was great and friendly. Ordered scallion pancake, short ribs and soup dumplings it was plenty of food.“

“This is my favorite Xiao Long Bao that I have ever eaten in the United States. I must come here every time I come to LA. The shredded pork noodles with pickled vegetables also taste good. The noodle soup is a little sweet. Shanghainese love it, but my friends from other places who are with me don’t seem to like it too much.“
