    Disgusting sweet and sour chicken

    I ordered a combo with shrimp chop suey and sweet and sour chicken. The sweet and sour chicken was a bunch of old burnt pieces of chicken with NO SAUCE! The shrimp chop suey was covered in a hot spicy sauce. I can't and don't eat anything spicy. What a disgusting meal

    New Chow Mein just came out.

    When I came in most of the items were low. Not enough orange chicken and the wait would been long so I didn't get it. Orange chicken is my must and I Coudn't get it today :(. Instead I got kungpow chicken and teriyaki chicken. I've had better teriyaki chicken but it wasn't bad. Kungpow had a nice sauce and the texture of the chicken was nice. They were also low on chow mein so I waited a bit for that but not that long. It was so yummy I enjoyed the chow mein it overpowered everything else cuz it came out fresh. The lady was nice. I was in the area so I decided to come here to try. Would only come back if I was in the area.

    Won ton soup

    Best Chinese food in town. Orange chicken has chicken (unlike other restaurants that have you searching the hidden treasure) Won ton soup is delicious They even have boba Thai tea

    Don't come here to eat the food is nasty. The food smells like cigarettes . I don't recommend coming again. They're so pricey.

    Stumbled across this while leaving the Ross, the reviews seemed good but the service was poor. The…read moretall woman at the front seemed rude and annoyed throughout the whole order. When it came time to pay I believe she overcharged me and refused to give me my receipt. This place is great for small orders but once you order a decent amount I believe they up charge you on certain food/beverages. Meanwhile, I had the Shrimp Chow Mein and my girlfriend had the Shrimp Fried Rice. The rice was VERY undercooked and plain. Lacked some egg. Meanwhile the Shrimp Chow Mein was good, no comments. It's definitely served super hot. The restaurant has a small dining room more two person tables than 4 person tables. I believe serviced needs to be improved and handing the receipts is a must instead of grabbing the machine and pushing "No Receipt" before you can push the Print button.

    I was at el super grocery store buying my groceries and I stumbled upon this hidden gem! The…read moreservice was awesome the little lady was super nice and friendly I got there as soon as they opened and everything was fresh on the line and they had a variety of selections. I went with double chowmein not really a fried rice kinda guy but back to the selections I went with their pepper chicken and I got my chihuahua yes my chihuahua teriyaki chicken no sauce of course and the lady was kind enough to chop it into smaller pieces and that's a W for me! the taste, temperature, texture of everything was on point. The establishment was really clean and stocked and I like that. Definitely give a try not everyone would have the same taste buds but the quality is one of the best in all of Los Angeles and the service is great too! I will be coming back again if I'm ever around commerce.

Think made-to-order elevated food court Chinese-ISH-style dishes. SERVICE: when we first walked in, the guy bussing tables onto his cart made eye contact, then COMPLETELY IGNORED US despite it being obvious that we were there for dinner. off-putting, i ALMOST WALKED OUT :/ Once we chased someone down and got seated, our waiter was super FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. Food came out quickly and piping hot. FOOD: PORTIONS-what stands out is the HUGE PORTIONS, one plate could probably feed to and perhaps three moderate eaters. QUALITY-unusually and OVERWHELMINGLY OILY. Way more than I would've expected, and detracted from the eating experience. **Cheese WonTon-wrappers were FRIED CRISP AND TENDER, but the decent dollop of cream cheese filling was overwhelming. **KUNG POW CHICKEN was the BEST DISH we had, barely spicy but it hid the oiliness better somehow. **NOODLE (?chow fun) SHRIMP was difficult to eat, and the EXCESSIVE GREASE COATED MY TONGUE so bad the i couldn't taste the shrimp or veggies. **BLACK BEAN BEEF was fair. OILY BUT FLAVORFUL. veggies were nicely cooked still crunchy, but the HARSH ONIONS were overpowering. sweet or milder onions would let me taste the other ingredients more. the beef itself was tender and tasty. I personally won't be returning, but I see the value due to large portions and moderate prices. i'd gladly sacrifice quantity for higher quality.

Like holy smokes, are the chefs on steroids back there? A salute to their efficiency and time management. Family ordered the Thai fried rice, house special fish fillet, pork chop with Peking sauce, and a tofu dish I do not know the name of. The fish fillet was most definitely running the show here. It was heavenly with every bite. My brother and I had to practically restrain ourselves from demolishing the entire plate. Another deep nod to the chef's magnificent craftsmanship. Order this for a taste of no regrets. The servers were absolutely amazing. For a typical Chinese restaurant, it is pretty standard to be served and for the most part ignored unless you needed something specific. However, the servers here were right in the middle of the horrendous lunch rush, and yet they still managed to carry out gestures that genuinely touched me- one of the waitresses waited at the door and held it open for us when my mom returned from the restroom because they could see that my mom had limited mobility. The guy serving us also made sure he was always giving her ample room to move around amidst all the chaos and commotion of the restaurant. Considering the tables and chairs are inches apart from each other too, we were pretty cramped. I asked another worker for utensils later on, and he was genuinely so sweet going about it, patient and smiling. Service here really warmed my heart, which was such a bonus. The setting was probably the most intriguing part. I am not familiar about the history of this particular location, but considering the walls in the hallway had old newspaper articles and images of the establishment from who knows how many decades ago, I would say it's teetering on the edge of being a museum in itself. Makes for a cool peek into history, but the run down building and yellowing, stained walls in the hallway might throw some people off who are looking to dine somewhere that has kept more in stride with modern times. This visit was fantastic from beginning to end, and all the small details really made everything come together into a wonderful synopsis of food, family, and a little extra kindness.

There are 24 different dishes to choose from, so you're not stuck with just a few basic options. I also like that it's available all day instead of only during the usual lunch special hours. For $12.99, especially with restaurant prices these days, I really can't complain. You get plenty of choices and can come back and try something different each time. One thing to know--the special is dine-in only. Overall, I think it's a great value if you're looking for a simple, affordable meal in Monterey Park. Definitely something I would order again.

They must have changed ownership because the food quality went down. The menu options changed and was surprised they had dim sum all day and night so I ordered a few. Har Gao: these smelled corny, if you're Cantonese you will understand what I mean. It tasted like they were spoiled. 1 out of 5 The shrimp and chive dumplings: these tasted legit. Good flavor, there was a bounce in the shell which is nice, IMO - little on the thicker side but 4 out of 5 stars for this dish. Tripe and beef stomach: Both awful. No flavor. I don't recommend their dim sum here. Curiosity killed the cat here. Should have stuck with the dishes they're usually known for which is the rice rolls and Hong Kong style dishes. My partner only eats seafood so I ordered their tofu seafood hot pot, and xo sauce seafood fried rice, these were both good. 4 out of 5. Flavor and wok chi could have been better which is why only a 4. After spending over $70+ for dinner, this did not feel satisfying or worth the money.
