Cantonese Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Great food and amazing service!

Parking is super easy since it’s located in a huge plaza.

I got here around 11:00 AM and waited in line for about 20 minutes. The line was mostly filled with older people speaking Cantonese, which told me right away that this place is super authentic!

The Beef Chow Fun is super flavorful and comes in a huge portion.
Their $12.99 breakfast combo is also a great deal with a huge portion—though it's pretty much pure carbs! And the best part is they still let you order it even after the breakfast hours.

You also get free refills on the Hong Kong style milk tea, and you can even take it to go for free. The iced version is the best, especially in the summer!

Unlike a lot of other places where the food is good but the service is terrible, the staff here is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“This place has an unassuming storefront vibe from the street, but when you walk in it just keeps un folding. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is great and the servings large. I will definately be recomending this place to all if my friends!“

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

“I'm so glad we tried this place on our trip. The lunch special was very reasonable and the servings were generous. I'm convinced we could have closed our eyes and pointed at the menu. No wrong choices here. The orange beef was something special.“

“Stopped by Bao Kee Cafe a few times and really enjoy their food. The shop itself is on the smaller side, so seating can be a bit limited—because of that, I usually just order takeout.

My wife typically places the orders online, so I don’t always know the exact dish names, but we’ve had a variety of their rice plates with different meats and vegetables, along with dishes like steamed pork ribs and fried fish. Everything we’ve tried so far has been consistently good and satisfying.

The staff are usually friendly, which always makes the experience better. Overall, a solid spot for a quick and tasty meal—especially if you’re grabbing it to go.“

“Their breakfast special (available until 11 am) is awesome. For about 14 dollars, I got one Hong Kong style iced milk tea, one huge piece of fried chicken steak and egg, plus stir fried noodle. Very authentic Hong Kong style. Plenty of parking behind the building.“

“Absolutely the best new restaurant inLos Angeles. Wonderful staff. Gorgeous facility indoors and patio. Exquisite and unique delicious food.“

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

“Came in for lunch with a couple friends and had a pretty good experience overall. The dim sum selection was larger than I expected, and most of the dishes arrived hot and fresh. The shrimp dumplings were probably my favorite, while a few of the buns were just okay. Service was friendly, though it got a little slow once the place filled up. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and felt clean and welcoming. Prices seemed fair for the amount of food we ordered. I'd definitely come back to try some of the items I missed this time around.“

“This is place is amazing and the food is great“

“Best roast duck!!! I always thought Sam Woo was the best , but their duck is delicious. Everything was freshly made!!“

“pineapple bun curry fish balls pork fried rice honey ribs Great food, prices, and service.“

“Decent, compact, comfort Cantonese dining. Small extras were very welcome. Dined in alone with Charshiu & Heinan Chicken Rice for under $15, came with daily soup, dessert, and tea -highly enjoyed. Got Yangchow fried rice to go -meh. Overall, very good value for money. Would return if in area.“

“Not every meal has to be at the trendiest restaurant.

Sometimes all you need is a classic Hong Kong cafe, a table full of comfort food, and a game playing in the background.

We stopped by JJ Hong Kong Cafe in Monterey Park and tried their Curry Combination Rice, Beef Brisket Lo Mein, Baked Pork Chop Macaroni, Deep Fried Cornish Hen, Fried Chili Turnip Patties, and French Toast.

The French Toast with ice cream was easily one of the most memorable dishes on the table. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for sharing.

The atmosphere felt old-school and casual — the kind of neighborhood spot where people come for a relaxed meal, late-night cravings, or to catch a game with friends.

“Capital Seafood is one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. We live more than an hour away, but we gladly make the trip every time because the food is excellent. However, what truly makes our experience special is Mia’s exceptional service.

As Mexicans, we deeply value warmth and hospitality, and Mia makes us feel at home every time we visit. Her approach is genuine, kind, attentive, and always accompanied by a sincere smile. Not only does she provide impeccable service, but she also creates a memorable experience that keeps us coming back again and again.

In an industry where great service makes all the difference, Mia stands out for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for others. People like her are hard to find and represent the very best of hospitality.

If you have the opportunity to visit Capital Seafood, I highly recommend requesting a table served by Mia. Without a doubt, she is one of the best servers we have ever met and one of the main reasons we continue to return.“

“I love the Egg Rolls!! I've been looking everywhere for these egg rolls since I was a kid. There was a restaurant in Alhambra called Nams, it was my Grandma & Grandpa's favorite Chinese restaurant. My wife got the Mushroom Chicked delicious!“

“Great place to dine at for authentic Cantonese food. Rice rolls were wonderful and at a bargain price! Overall food and service was nice and very comforting. Ingredients tasted fresh and wasn’t overly salted (just how I prefer). Will come back again to try different rice roll options.“

“We went on a Wednesday mid-afternoon. Not many people there. Service was efficient and good. We ordered various dishes and all were quite good and not at all oily. We enjoyed our meal very much. Prices were quite reasonable. Definitely will go back if we’re in the area again in the future.“

“The food was amazing and authentic! I got the lamb noodle soup; they make their own noodles, perfect chewiness, and the portions were big. I can imagine being a regular here. Only downside was they are short-staffed, only two people working, so if you come in on a busy day, good luck.“

“Well this is definitely our favorite Chinese fast food spot. The prices remind me of 1990. The portions are unbelievably generous and its genuine Chinese food. I exclusively prefer this short rib item, chicken Kung pao, Chow fun and Fried rice. So good!!!“

“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“

“Authentic food and cheap. 👍“

“After several years of eating here I can finally say that I've perfected our family order. Appetizer: Dumplings
Soup: Egg Flower
Noodles: Chicken Lo Mein
Mains: Cashew Chicken and Broccoli Beef (honestly I told my husband that the Broccoli beef could be swapped for whatever he wants because he likes fried food so this will be swapped from time to time)
Side: Garlic Green Beans (these are the absolute most DELICIOUS green beans I have ever eaten)

The soup gets refills.
The food is freshly made and so yummy.
This is not fast food it's cooked family style and with flavor.
One of the few food gems in Montebello.“

“From the outside this looks like a hole in the wall place in a strip mall but inside it's huge and magical! We had a party of 200 people in there and there was still areas for other pattons.
Aside from most of the staff not speaking English to tell us what we were eating when it was brought out we figured it out and everything was uniquely different in its own way!
I usually take food pics but I didn't this time! P.S beer was only 5 bucks a bottle!“

“Top Island is a classic gem in Alhambra for authentic Cantonese cuisine and dim sum. We came here for dinner and were blown away by the variety and quality. The Salt and Pepper Shrimp & Squid was perfectly crispy and seasoned, and the Empress Chicken was incredibly tender with that signature ginger-scallion dipping sauce. We also loved the Beef with Tomato—so savory and comforting! The atmosphere is bustling and traditional, perfect for big family gatherings. Great service and very reasonable prices for the portion sizes. Definitely a go-to spot in the area!“

“We love this no frill HK BBQ cafe. The auntie that works here makes you feel right at home, including the home-y flavors. The food is not over-seasoned or heavy on MSG. We thoroughly enjoyed the roast duck here, light and moist. Additionally, everything is well-priced so we look forward to trying more dishes next time. Oh, and like all good Asian hosts, they bring you freshly cut fruit at the end of your meal!“

“Coming off a twenty two hour fast, their beef noodle soup was the bomb. I like most of the food served here. Some authentic Chinese I'm told andd some adjusted to western practices. Enjoy your experience their it's worth the money!“

“This restaurant has good foods at reasonable prices. They have many choices on the menu. They serve big portions of foods. We ordered broccoli beef and walnut shrimps which come with a big bowl of pork meat/bones with vegetables soup and a big bowl of steam rice for daily lunch specials.
Waitresses also gave us attentive services.
We will come back for good foods and good services.“

“Mama Lu’s never fails :) this restaurant was the perfect choice for my family dinner gathering. The food and taste remaines as consistent as their original store in monterey park. All their dishes are served in round table family style dining, which encouraged us to share and socialize at the same time. They offered wide selections of chinese/asian staple dishes like Xiao Long Bao, which was my must have when I visited this restaurant! We also ordered Singapore Stir Fry Vermicelli (soo delicious with that fire work flavor), Beef Wrap (crunchy on the outside with delicious fillings inside), Spicy Wontons drenched in chilli oil (yummm), Seaweed Fish, Peking Roasted Duck (my second favorite!!) I loved how fast their dishes come out by one so we didnt have to wait for too long. There was also ample parking spots at the dedicated parking lot next to this restaurant. I highly recommend to try this spot with your friends and family :)“

“This is a very small dim sum place, one two table for 4 person, and 2 tables for 2. So maximum only 12 people can dine it. However, the dim sum here is one of the best we have had. Siu mai was rich in flavor and meaty. Stick rice and cheong fun were both top notched. Xiao longbao was juicy too. Due to the small dining area, I imagined it will be difficult at peak hour. Or you just need to take out. But if you do take out, the dim sum may not taste as good. Dilemma. But we were very happy with the food and service.“

“Excelente comida bien atendidos todo excelente selos Recomiendo“

“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.“
