Cantonese Restaurants near West Covina, CA

“I’ve been ordering from Thumbling through Uber Eats for a while but finally came in recently with my partner and I’m so glad we did. The food is incredibly tasty; we didn’t leave a single leftover. The xiaolongbao dumplings are just as juicy and flavorful as the ones from Din Tai Fung, which says a lot. Noodle delicious and garlic string beans are yummy.

It’s great to have an option this good so close by, and at a really solid price point. The tables were full when we arrived, so there was a bit of a wait, but nothing unreasonable. Service wasn’t overly personal, but they did check in on us, kept our water refilled, and the teas came out very quickly.

Overall, it was a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. This place has officially become one of my favorites.

Note: Parking can be very challenging. Definitely avoid parking near the car entrance—you will get stuck.“

“The steak dinner and the rack of ribs.“

“Small mom& pop restaurant. Very 廣東 台山 Cantonese Taishan family style menu for lunch and dinner. Their chicken rice is delicious, juicy tender brown chicken, fragrant rice, just not very Hainan style but I will order again. Their curry pork chop rice, the curry sauce was very yummy unfortunately the fried pork chop was very dry inside. Want to love it so much because the fry job was done right but the meat was too dry. We also order the Chinese sausage salty egg meat Pattie on rice 台山臘腸鹹蛋肉餅飯. That was delicious! They can accommodate bigger group (6+) but best to call ahead. Easier for 1-4 person. There is a free small parking lot on the side and street parking. Even though I gave it 4-star (cuz of the pork chop), I would definitely return to try other items. Very authentic regional Chinese food.“

“麵爽，云呑好味，丸子夠料“

“Call ahead to order takeout. The porridge are delicious, dried shrimp rice rolls and pineapple bun are delicious 😋 🤤“

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

“Small family owned business, super super tasty and worth it. In the span of 7 days, we ate here twice. Everyone is very nice, and considering it is like one person (big respect) in the kitchen, everything is made super fresh and quick comparatively. The 3he house noodles, beef noodle soup, cat eat noodles are all very tasty and the noodles have good texture. The popcorn chicken is also good but lacking 椒盐 for my taste but that's fine because I can add more at home or dip in the sauce.“

“One of the best dim sum places in the area! Even at night when dim sum isn't available the dishes are super tasty as well! I never been to Canton, but I've been to Hong Kong and NYC, this place is def on par or better than the places I had in Hong Kong and NYC.“

“食物好吃，環境也可以，經濟又實惠！“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“The place was empty so we were initially a bit doubtful. I’m glad we made the decision to stay because ALL of their dishes were delicious, not just their Hainan chicken but also their beef, wings, and even their stir fried veggies tastes like it came from much bigger restaurants.“

“All the food tastes pretty good, especially the kung pao chicken. It all came out pretty fast, except for the wonton soup. Everything also came for good prices. The fried chicken was a bit oily though, and a few of the dishes were salty too, like the fried calamari and fried chicken. We ordered from the lunch special choice which was one appetizer plus two pretty large plates. Overall, it was a very nice meal.“

“I’ve been to this place several times, and it never disappoints. First of all, the service is excellent from the moment you walk in, to being seated, to placing the order, everything is smooth and efficient. The food also comes out very quickly.
Most importantly, every dish and drink I’ve tried has been delicious. I’ve eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Features: Came to this restaurant yesterday，I lived in Guangzhou for 20 year，Finally find the best rice noodroll in LA，it taste very authentic as the original location in gz.Super delicious rice noodle roll and congee place ?Fresh rice noodle roll，terrific beef，and chili sauce with garlic is impressively fresh （Highly recommend try it with nice noodle if you like spicy）?The congee also quite good，love their preserved egg with pork congee?Definitely love this place and will come back.“

“Love their tofu skin dish.
Love their noddles, so original
The crispy pork is out of this world
Unlimited source and commentary are wonderfully satisfying
Can't speak more, try it yourself. I guarantee you have never tasted crispy pork like what they have. GUARANTEE!!!!“

“It's great. The food is good. But you have to wait outside until your number is called and outside the place is littered with cigarettes in the waiting area. Please clean it up and put a no smoking sign. No one wants second hand smoke.“

“Took our friends to try out the food, and it was really good. Good portion, not oily and tasty. We ordered 3 dishes and it was enough for the four of us. The fish with stir fried veggies had a similar sauce to the chicken, both dishes were good. The eggplant dish was amazing. We also ordered 3 bowls of rice, and had left overs to take home. Bang for your buck!“

“Super tasty entrees all around. The beef brisket casserole was jam packed with flavor and super tender (melted in our mouths). The shrimp patties were super juicy and the perfect appetizer. The beef tripe noodles were beefy yet light. The surprise hit was the sweet and sour fish! Crispy and sweet, it was a great entree that was recommended by our waitress. Very friendly staff. Clean establishment. They even had a menu for the Quickly next door. Although I have to recommend their iced tea. Tasted all natural and refreshing. We will be returning!!“

“Good curry good fish good pork and good beef. Chicken is good too. I love this place like garden and good. Not too expensive and very good. Get the curry beef“

“I recently visited 粤味坊 (Yue Wei Fang), a cozy Chinese restaurant that specializes in authentic Cantonese cuisine, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience.
The ambiance is warm and inviting, with traditional Chinese decor and soft lighting that creates a relaxed dining environment. It’s a great place for both casual meals and small gatherings“

“Best Dim Sum!!!! My children and I have been coming here for years, and we absolutely love this restaurant. The staff is so attentive and kind and the food is absolutely delicious 😋 We've love trying new places, but when it comes to Dim Sum, no one beats Capital Seafood. Thank you, Mia, and the entire wonderful staff, you all make every visit a treat & we always leaving absolutely full and lazy, lol. Thank you! 💝“

“Pretty good Cantonese food. The entrees are pretty authentic. The wonton noodle soup asr needs more flavoring and not a fan of lettuce as a vegetable, but the actual wonton is spot on. I also ordered the Beef Chow Fun, and it pretty good, a 7/10. But the real deal is their Tea drinks, which are $2.50 if ordered with in-dining.“

“Venus Cafe is a Gem!!! Cindy is amazing!! The customer service from her and her staff are second to none!! They have the best Chinese Food around. No Chinese food in the area compares!! Our go to items are:
Salt and Pepper Chicken
Orange Chicken
Chicken Chow Mein
Broccoli Beef
Broccoli Chicken
Wonton Soup
Eggflower soup
Vegetable Egg Rolls
Salt and Pepper Pork Chops
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Kung Pao Chicken
Chicken Fried Rice“

“My son ordered from the big menu (not lunch special) to customized the taste to be a little bland with sauces on the sides. I am recovering from illness. William helped us a lot; what best dish to order and how it's cooked! He's very attentive to our order and did really great! He's very knowledgeable and worked with the cook to give us the best meal! My son was greatly impressed with the service, he said he like to go back.“

“We go here for a quick & simple breakfast. The pick your own combo is a good deal: porridge + choice: lo mai gai (sticky lotus rice) + drink. The BBQ pork cheung fun is smooth with the right amount of chew and you can see it made to order through the glass sometimes. The staff are friendly and attentive while it does get busy on weekends and lunch rush. Joe the manger will check in to see how’s things are going which is rare in HK style restaurants but appreciated in any setting.“

“I dont know why there are so many not so good review on this place, but both times I have been here it has been pretty good, at least the food. The latest time I came was for a birthday, and we celebrated in a room that they had Karaoke. The room fit 3 big tables, and it was pretty spacious. The staff were quite nice, and I believe the food was really good as well.

What stood out to me was the Lobster, Truffle Chicken, and the Filet Mignon. I’m sorry that I dont have the official names, as the dishes were preset and brought to our table. You just gotta look at the picture, and if you think it looks good, then go for it.

This is a great place for anyone to celebrate any occasion, and the private room made it that much more exclusive. If you are planning an event, and want GOOD food, then look no further.“

“Very authentic Hong Kong food — feels just like home! The dishes taste really local, and the service is honestly the best I’ve ever had at a HK restaurant in the US. Prices are great, portions are generous (we actually ordered too much and had to take some home 😅). Definitely a spot worth dropping by to try — highly recommended!“

“Tasty food, generous servings, below average prices. My wife and I had the roast duck noodle soup. Tasty duck, lots of nice noodles, I think it was Chinese broccoli cooked tender. Broth was okay. Lots of takeout traffic. Not where I would take a first date, run down. Service was okay. Decent parking in the lot. I'd go again for the food. Takeout is ideal. Lots of other menu choices to try. Discovered this through Vic and Jeff's food blog on YouTube.“

“Staff was absolutely helpful and kind! The Decor and table set ups looked beautiful and family friendly. We ordered the Chow Fun with Veggies and the House Special Prawns. Chow fun was perfect! When I say it was the best prawns I’ve ever had, it was the best prawns I’ve ever had. They have something special here and I would recommend 10/10.“

“I was born and raised in Guangzhou, personally, I think this is the rice roller that’s closest to what I had when I grew up, taste and texture wise. I always order two plates of pork rice rollers. I can imagine if I live around the area, I would come daily for it.“

“Monday 5/12/25 Dinner with my son. Enjoying a wonderful meal; father & son night out. The foods were good. There are a large selection of dishes on the menu. It would take a person to visit numerous times to try all the dishes they offered; it’s good if you are a local.

“good food with dum sun. with the time and very good. nice spot like it“

“We are lucky that if you dine during the lunch time, the rice is free. Or else you need to order the rice separately. The rice portion is big, however, one of the rice bowl contains the VERY BOTTOM of the rice pot. (See my picture). I don't think that is the right and professional way to serve a customer with that portion of the rice. Therefore, that deducts a star for this restaurant.

The service is good and the atmosphere is standard.

In conclusion, the prices for this restaurant are a bit high in my opinion. I will ONLY come back if the 20% off discount continues.“

“Came here on a Thursday for some dinner to-go. There were around 2-3 customers when I dropped by around 7pm.

I got a garlic veggie and a crispy noodle. Both were super delicious. The veggie sauce made it just right seasoning. Would definitely come back for some dim sum next time“

“If you're craving dim sum, this place is definitely worth a try. The dim sum menu is solid, offering a decent variety of dishes that satisfy those midday cravings. The food quality is good overall, flavorful, and filling. However, when it comes to dinner time, the experience takes a bit of a dive. The dinner menu isn't particularly impressive, and the foods lack in flavor. I wouldn't recommend coming during dinner time.
The service, unfortunately, leaves a lot to be desired. The staff can be a bit inattentive and, at times, even rude.“

“The roast duck is juicy, Char Siu is tender and juicy. It’s under new management and Beef Stir Fry rice noodles is most popular. Prices are very reasonable. No pictures because before I can do so… food are mostly gone 🤣 will come back for sure“

“We had an amazing meal here! The seafood was the star—fresh, tender, and perfectly cooked. The Peking Duck was crispy and flavorful, and the stir-fried beef was tender and delicious. We also enjoyed the vegetables with tofu, which were light, fresh, and a great balance to the richer dishes. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor—perfect spot for a family dinner or celebration!“

“Food is good, service is fast. The lunch special menu is priced well at $15 and has large portions and good variety of selections. Other menu items are pretty pricey. Tables are too close for my liking but if you're used to that culture of dining then its a normal thing.“

“This Cantonese restaurant offers a very solid and authentic dining experience.

The menu focuses on traditional Cantonese flavors—light, clean, and well-balanced, letting the quality of the ingredients shine. We ordered several classic dishes and everything was executed well. The roasted meats were flavorful with crispy skin and not greasy, the steamed dishes were fresh and properly seasoned, and the stir-fried dishes had good wok hei.

Ingredient quality really stands out, especially the seafood, which was fresh and well prepared with no off-flavors. Portions are reasonable and the pricing feels fair compared to similar Cantonese restaurants.

Service was attentive and relaxed, and dishes came out at a comfortable pace. The dining area is clean and comfortable, making it a good spot for family meals or casual gatherings with friends.

If you’re looking for traditional, no-frills Cantonese food done right, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“Formerly Delicious Food Corner. But I suspect they are still secretly Delicious Food Corner. Even employees wear Delicious Food Corner T-shirts. Haha. No big deal.

This place won me over with its wonton noodle soup. It was excellent! The wontons had great flavor and the noodles had the perfect texture- not too plasticky. Sorry, no photos. Typical looking wonton noodle soup, but just tastier. IMO, better than Sam Woo BBQ and other HK-syle cafes.

The other dishes were good. They offer dim sum too. So we can have some dim sum and other traditional HK dishes.

Garden Cafe was too busy and had no open parking spaces, so we went across the street. I'm glad we did. I'll be back for more.

Shrimp Rolls. Yummy. Crispy shrimp in Chinese savory donut, wrapped in steamed rice crepe.

COMPLEX: You got the soft, warm, rice sticky rice rolls, sitting in sweet soy dim sum sauce. Then when you bite into it, you get the crispy crunchy donut with shrimp paste on the insde.“

“This review is for hosting a WEDDING banquet at Happy Harbor in Rowland Heights.

I helped plan a wedding here. I have to say it was tough at first because they do not have a designated event coordinator. There was a lot of back and forth. What was really helpful was the main guy spoke English, Cantonese, and Mandarin!

Ultimately you need the wedding date and the number of guests. You choose the menu, napkin color, and table cloth color.
Extras: They had two microphones with stands and a small stage for the sweetheart table. The audio system only reached the main room. There was a big screen in the main room to play a slideshow. The backroom seemed to have their own audio and two screens. We could not figure out how to connect the two, so the guests in the back room had to come out to the main room to see/hear what was going on.
-The lobby is large. Good to set up welcome table.
-There is a small private room behind the fish tanks. This was where vendors took their breaks.

The wedding I helped plan had just under 280 guests, so they took up the main room (20 tables) as well as the back room (7 tables). Some tables had 11 seats but same amount of food. Because of the number of tables, there was no dance floor.

I heard compliments from many guests that the servers were efficient and helpful. They served wine properly.

Overall I would recommend Happy Harbor for a large event.

Side note:
Happy Harbor gave us a contact of a guy who did white seat covers with ribbons. That guy only had a two-person team and did not finish all 270 seats. In fact he stopped just under 20 tables and did not get any in the back room at all. He also set up with the spandex seat covers, which is not what the bride wanted.“
