About Taste of MP

Taste of MP is a Chinese restaurant located on Valley Boulevard in Monterey Park. It is known for its 潮汕 style cuisine, which features a variety of seafood options such as fresh water shrimp, scallops, and highly recommended steamed live fish. The menu also includes less common dishes like pig stomach soup and traditional favorites such as crispy whole piglet, shrimp with candied walnuts, and French style filet mignon with mushrooms.

One standout dish is the string beans, described as crunchy and generously portioned with meat. The restaurant offers private banquet rooms for special occasions, with complimentary slow-cooked house soup and red bean dessert. The kung pao chicken, dry sautéed string beans with pickled olives and pork, and house special crab remain popular choices, with the crab being a good value at $22 per pound.

The restaurant has a small, free parking lot and accepts credit cards. It can get busy, especially on weekends, but the staff work efficiently to accommodate large groups. Taste of MP is highly regarded for its authentic Cantonese food, generous portions, and welcoming ambiance, making it ideal for family gatherings or celebrations.
