Cantonese Restaurants near West Covina, CA

“I did order online and pick up! I got their friend shrimp and egg chive pockets and they were just to die for! So freaking good! The veggie potstickers were good too, not too exciting though. My husband loved bao buns he got. Would love to come again and actually dine in!“

“The steak dinner and the rack of ribs.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 😋😋👌🏼“

“Excellent dim sum, about $5 per dish. Everything is fresh, delicious, and filling. Maybe half a dozen tables so seating is limited. It takes about 15 minutes to order and complete take out. No carts here. Order off a limited but essentials menu so it's my go-to spot.“

“食物好吃，環境也可以，經濟又實惠！“

“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.“

“Walking through the door felt like stepping off the MTR at Causeway Bay. The fluorescent-lit signage, the cramped-but-cozy booth seating, the plastic-laminated menus, the sound of clattering ceramic — every detail was dialed in. This isn’t a “Hong Kong-inspired” cafe where someone Googled the aesthetic. This is the real thing.

The milk tea arrived in a tall glass with that unmistakable pulled-tea smoothness — silky, slightly bitter, perfectly sweetened. It could hold its own against anything I’ve had at a dai pai dong. The pineapple bun with butter (bolo bao) was fresh out of the oven, with a shatteringly crisp sugar crust giving way to pillowy bread and a cold slab of butter melting in real time. I may have ordered a second one immediately.

The scrambled egg on toast was a masterclass in simplicity done right — fluffy, custardy eggs on thick-cut white toast, the way cha chaan tengs have been doing it for 60 years. The wonton noodle soup had that clean, delicate shrimp-and-pork broth with noodles that still had bite. Proper.

Service was fast, no-frills, and efficient — exactly what you want. No unnecessary fuss, just good food delivered quickly with a nod. Peak cha chaan teng energy.

If you’re homesick for Hong Kong, craving something authentic, or just tired of cafes that prioritize Instagram over flavour — this is your place. Don’t miss it.“

“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.“

“Was in the area so came in for a early Sunday morning breakfast and was pleasently surprised. Ordered the congee w/fried noodles and a western style chicken steak plate w/pineapple bun along with their signature HK style milk tea which came out in a flash. The portion were generous and the taste reminded me of the neighborhood HK cafes in Hong Kong! Overall it hit the spot on all the right places and will definitely return for their lunch menu in the future!“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“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“

“Honestly, so glad we came across this spot. Everything tasted super fresh and you can tell it’s made with care. The hot dishes came out crispy on the outside and just really well cooked overall. The flavor was on point, didn’t even need to add anything.

What really stood out though was the people. The ladies working there were so friendly, and when we were paying we met the daughter at the register. You can just feel that it’s a family-owned place and they really take pride in what they do.

It’s one of those simple, down-to-earth spots with good food and good people. Definitely coming back.“

“I went with my mom to try out the dim sum and the service was spectacular. Everyone was attentive the minute we got to our seats. We got our food promptly. The dim sum is 3.99 (weekdays) and 4.99 (weekends). They also have a deal for Lobster noodles (21.99) and congee once you order 3 or more dim sum dishes. I would go back but make sure you go early because this place does get busy.“

“Came here with fam for lunch on a weekend. It can be so packed at this place bc it va be very busy! This is very lowkey casual ambiance so no need to dress up.

Food is served within 10-15 minutes of ordering. Drinks can be added on for $2.50 when ordering meals and if you want to make it large they’ll tack on extra 88 cents. The drinks do take a while to come out especially the teas bc they’re freshly made behind the counter. Also, they seem to be so busy that it’s hard to flag down servers unless they’re brining food or drinks.

The food is quite alright here and as expected for a HK / Canto style palate.

Note they have 2 menus — one that is bigger and more extensive, and a simpler one (photos are of the simpler menu). Prices are fair for the size of the dishes (they’re not huge like other places but also most are under $15 a dish).

We ordered the following and all was tasty:
- sweet and sour pork ribs
- egg over friend rice and gravy (the kids loved it)
- seafood tofu clay pot
- beef w mushrooms stir fry
- yellow chicken

Restrooms: they’ve got 2 separate ones. Decently clean, thankfully.

Parking is FREE but quite difficult here in the plaza bc the lot is shared with so many other eateries in that McDonald’s plaza. So either you wait for a spot to open or take your car down the block and walk a little.“

“Been coming here for some time now so I am definitely biased. That said, food here is served to order and is always fresh and hot. This recent visit we (the Wife and I and my Son) had an order of egg fried rice, sweet and sour fish and moo shu pork. All of the dishes were delicious, nothing to note in the way of any disappointment. They have a great beef chow fun and many of the other dishes are very 👍 good. Will definitely be back and I definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for some good Chinese food in the area. Only note to make is it can get busy here and the owner and a few staff run this place so call ahead and order to go or just be patient...it is definitely worth it😋.“

“Dim sum means “to touch the heart” but it’s basically little shareable plates. The food was excellent. The service efficient. Beautiful atmosphere. Favorite dish was Thai Style Tofu with Chicken Broth - a textural delight… if you’re into that kinda thing.“

“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.“

“== FOOD == I got the rice noodles with youtiao. Super delicious. I saw the picture for a satay beef noodles and it looked so good, so I'll get it next time.

== SERVICE == There's not many staff inside, just one girl who was manning the kitchen area. It's all mostly self-serve ordering at a kiosk, or ordering with the QR code at your table.

== AMBIANCE == I was the only customer inside waiting for my food. Most orders were to-go and I saw many drivers come in to pick up food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Garden Bistro is my go-to for comfort food. Their Black Pepper Filet Mignon with Udon is a 10/10—the meat is always tender and the sauce has just the right kick. It’s a bit of a hidden gem in the Fullerton Rd plaza with a cozy, welcoming vibe. Great for a quick lunch or a late-night craving. Quick service and massive portions!“

“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.“

“Everything we ate was very good. The porridge was very good. This week. Sour fish was very good. The Krispy pork was very very good. The chicken feet were very very good. The spinach was very very good. The egg for young was very very good. The pork chow mein was very very good. Oh all the service was average for a Chinese restaurant, one dish. There was a confusion on, and they brought the wrong one, but they corrected it quickly and we also got shumai that we’re very very very very good. When you look around the restaurant, you would not be able to know whether you were in Hong Kong or Singapore or the Philippines or Shanghai or Beijing, or anywhere else“

“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“

“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“

“Really solid Cantonese meal. The steamed fish was delicate and clean, with a nice soy-ginger sauce. The salt & pepper shrimp were crispy and flavorful. The roast duck had juicy meat and a fragrant skin. The XO sea cucumber was well-seasoned with good wok heat, and the greens kept everything balanced. Nothing flashy, just consistently good—perfect for a casual dinner and worth returning to.“

“烤鴨很好吃 不過停車可能有點困難⋯⋯“

“I feel that in keeping with Asian restaurant tradition I should award 3 stars because, as we all know, this is the perfect amount. Five stars and it's a bougie Asian fusion place that's going to rip you off. You want three stars because the service will feel inattentive to western eaters but be perfect for eastern diners. So these five stars are adjusted for my tastes: I don't want to be bothered while I eat, I don't need ambiance when eating Chinese food, and I don't want to pay extra for these. In fact, I would say when I sent the service was a little too attentive 😂😂😂. I'll also say that I ate with my friends from China so my experience was we walked in, Chinese was spoken, we were ushered into a nondescript back room, more Chinese was spoken, huge plates of the best food were delivered, a person kept checking in on us hence my comment that the service was too attentive, we fought over the bill, I lost, and we left with tons of leftovers. Asian 3 stars. Would recommend and come back.“

“Pretty good dim sum. Better before the pandemic.“
