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“

“We had dinner at 鹵億鮮 Luyixian in Alhambra last night and really enjoyed it. The food tasted authentic, comforting, and full of flavor.

I ordered the braised beef noodles, which is one of their best sellers, and it was really good—the beef was tender and the broth was rich and flavorful. My wife had the beef brisket with rice, and she really enjoyed hers too.

We’ll definitely be coming back. Another big plus is that they’re open late, so it’s a great spot if you’re looking for a good late-night dinner in Alhambra. Highly recommend!“

“My family and I have been coming here for over 29 years they watched my siblings and I grow up and now we bring our kids here. Its family style dining pick really good options for dishes. Lunch specials are great and get alot for your money. The staff are amazing they treat us like family. Top fans are Orange chicken, steamed dumplings, Shanghai style pork chops and much more.“

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

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

“Friendly service and delicious food. I had har gow and shu mai and shrimp+pork+chive dumplings that I ate at their table and I brought leftovers and other food home as well. Haven't tried it yet it's waiting for dinner. The place is clean, there's easy parking, and the service was friendly and attentive. There's no picture of the har gow because I inhaled it. I was here at 3:00 in the afternoon so I was the only customer for the first half hour.“

“This place seriously deserves Michelin-star level recognition ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We finally found the most original and authentic taste of 大合卤味— a flavor we’ve missed and thought about consistently for so many years. Every dish was packed with rich, comforting flavors and that authentic traditional homemade feeling that is so hard to find nowadays.

The beef noodle soup was absolutely AMAZING — the broth was deep, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice and aroma. The beef was unbelievably tender, juicy, and practically melted in the mouth. One of the best beef noodle soups I’ve had in a very long time.

The signature dish is an absolute MUST-ORDER for every table! Once you try it, you’ll understand why everyone keeps coming back. The 卤味 dishes were also outstanding — packed with flavor, perfectly marinated, and incredibly addictive. You can truly taste the care and quality in every bite.

What shocked us even more was the price — very affordable, yet the quality and flavors honestly felt Michelin-star level. It’s rare to find a place that delivers this level of authentic Taiwanese comfort food at such a reasonable price.

Honestly, every dish we ordered was so yummy and beautifully prepared. This restaurant feels like a hidden gem with Michelin-level flavors and presentation. Definitely coming back again and highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Taiwanese comfort food! 😍🍜“

“I absolutely love Dumpling House! I found this cute little spot on Google while trying to branch out, and I’m so glad I did! The service is always amazing the staff is so kind and quick, and the guy at the front is always the sweetest. The food is delicious and super affordable, especially with their 50% off select items. Their beef rolls are one of my favorites because they actually give you a good amount of meat, and their house chow mein has huge portions and their wonton with spicy sauce! IT WAS amazing. Everything is flavorful, not overly oily, and reasonably priced. Definitely a hidden gem! (you can tell from all these pics i love the beef rolls)“

“我觉得这边很漂亮，我喜欢有时来这里。“

“This is a New Shanghai No. 1 with new wall paper and lighting. However I like the old look better.
The new menu seems less items than before.
The dishes are more salty overall.
It's okay for just a casual meal.
