This place is very dear to my childhood; the quality of the place has not diminished in the last 25 years I've dined here. One of the ladies who works there even remembers me from when I was a child and would ask me how I am doing and about my mom; I love feeling welcome here. My favorite food to eat here are the Singaporean fried noodles, the salt and pepper chicken wings, the salt and pepper squid, and the pork chop with rice. I recently took my in-laws here as well and they all enjoyed the food. read more

overall great! Vibe: very low key mom & pop kind of place. we were there 1st customers on a Saturday around 11:30a...or so. then people started trickling in and also some To Go orders. Food: Their Singapore noodle was yummy, no curry and not spicy. Awesome for the kids. Beef and gailan dish with white rice was yummy too salt & Spicy fish fillet was great! they have their own sauce mix - tasted like XO sauce with a little bit of ground pork & sliced jalapeños. We ate the whole thing because it was yummy and fried food isn't the same the next day Will come for the fish fillet and noodle again. read more

My mentor (aka former work mom) lives in this area and takes me to these lovely little neighborhood restaurants. Sadly, many have low reviews which I just cannot understand. My mentor is a fantastic cook so she is really picky about eating out. The squid noodles - simple yet delicious. One of the best stir fried noodles I have ever had. The wok flavor was strong and you can tell the chef knows what he is doing. The squid is cooked just right. Laksa was really good though this is not one of mg favorite dishes to begin with. The lemongrass chicken chop was outstanding. I have no idea how he got so much flavor and kept the chicken juicy but slightly crisp on the outside. The red bean was also excellent! The service was very good though that doesn't matter to me. The chef has been cooking for decades and it shows. I will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Mom n Pop Singaporean restaurant with great food and good prices! My favorite dish was the Singaporean Fried Rice Noodles with was savory and meaty. Loved the salty scrambled eggs bits in it. It also comes with chili oil which is a must and you can ask for more upon request. I also got the Singaporean Style Laksa which was good, but I wish it were thicker and more flavorful. Still good though and I liked the fried tofu which soaked up all the flavor and butterfly shrimp in it. The portions are big and good for sharing. Each dish was around $16 each which is such a great price for what you get. Definitely worth checking out! read more

After 30 plus years this place is still here!!!!!!. I remember coming here after high school for a red bean ice with ice cream ;). My go to: I love the Singaporean rice noodle dish. It's one of the best around: rice noodle texture is on point, not oily, seasoned perfectly, great meat to noodle ratio... highly recommend this if you come here. I recently tried a noodle soup for the first time: preserved vegetable and pork. Great flavor!!! How do you get the rice noodle texture so perfectly snappy?? Soup is rich in flavor too. The service is great, small businesses deserve so much more appreciation! The setting has not changed much since the 90s, I feel like the decor and furniture are all the same, bringing back fond memories , it's comforting to know you are still here after so many years! read more

This OG place used to be my favorite Laksa in town. I havent been there in a while and was a bit dissapointed today. The Laksa soup was a bit watery and it tasted flat. I'm wondering if they change the Chef perhaps? The Fried rice noodles was still the same. It had an excellent flavor. Service was quick and efficient. I hope they'll bring the same to their Laksa. read more

We had lunch here today with a party of six. It was not busy. We were seating quickly. The restaurant is small. The cuisine is Singapore style , but not too spicy. The place looked clean. The food came out quickly. The person who ordered the Portuguese sauce ox tongue said it lacked flavor and any vegetables with the dish. It was not very tender. The Panang Curry was a bit spicy, but tasted fine. Do order: Spicy Chicken Wings and the Special Chili Filet Fish. The other dishes were good, but not great. Rating: 3 Stars. read more

A restaurant ive passed by a thousand times , but never went in. Uncertain why, but if it has lasted 20+ years in the SGV, a highly competitive asian foodie environment , theres gotta be a reason. That reason was the Singapore noodle which was recommended by a friend. Otherwise, this joint may have remained off my radar. Over the past few decades, ive eaten Singapore noodle at perhaps 10+ different venues. However, none tasted quite like this. First, the noodles. Texture was fluffy, light, and not over cooked...almost al dente-ish. Then the shrimp, had a slight crunch to it that complimented the noodle. Add a bit of black vinegar, and one has an amazingly balanced and delicious dish. It was so good, we returned the next weekend to order for a party. What were our guests response? Outstanding! Decor & service? Definitely an old school Monterey Park vibe which I really dig, as i like to reminisce lol. Server was very pleasant, dood came out almost instantly. Would recommend! read more

Stopped by here because I was craving Singapore rice noodles. It's located at the corner of Lincoln and Garvey. The portions are pretty decent, there's a lot more rice noodles to egg, squid, shrimp and octopus but I prefer that. I love noodles lol. I thought there would be bigger pieces of squid and octopus or other vegetables, but there wasn't a lot of toppings, still decent though. The flavor and taste was good. Shanna was sweet and you can Venmo her to pay. read more

It's has been for over a decade I've occasionally going to Litz. Old classic southern eastern Asian cuisine!!! They are popular for Larka, satays, sautéed beef stews, and the most signature of Singapore rich noodles vermicelli... They have Hams, Eggs, Squids, and especially adding home make Malaysian paste.... And eat with home made chili oil sauce!!! Plus I've a grass jelly ice drink since I was thirsty !! Services was ok alright, and still very old fashion designed environment.... The only thing I had the rice noodles that might taste a little lighter than used to be.... Could be more tasteful... read more

Right at the opening of downtown Monterey park. Nice small restaurant in the corner. I used to come here all the time when I was a little kid. Very happy that it's still exactly the same. The ladies who work here are super nice and friendly. My favorite dishes to get are Singapore fried rice noodles, baked pork chop rice, and sausage fried macaroni. Also very important! Make sure to ask for their chili oil! It is a game changer! You can thank me later lol read more

Terrible food--they can't even get a simple Singaporean fried vermicelli right. The interior is awful too: super noisy because sound bounces off all the hard walls and floors. Service is equally bad. Don't go. Their heyday is long over. read more

They said Sunday closed @7. We arrived @ 6:25, and the door was locked and inside light were off.

Recently visited here two different Saturday afternoons to dine in for lunch with family and friends. No wait for seating both times. The restaurant seems to specialize in Chinese Singaporean style dishes. Today we had the Singapore noodles, kung pao fish, stir fry vegetables with bean curd sauce, beef chow fun with gravy, and baked Portuguese sauce chicken rice. We were disappointed that the mixed green bean curd sauce vegetable was just stir fried iceburg lettuce. Singapore noodles were good. The kung pao fish was ok but kind of salty. The baked chicken rice had good flavor and the beef chow fun in gravy was also tasty. We ordered lemon iced tea and iced milk tea and later realized they were $5 each. Free refills of the lemon iced tea but not for the milk tea. We won't order drinks here next time. Most cafes around here offer reduced drink prices with lunch entrees. The service was ok. They refilled my iced tea quickly. The dishes took a while to come out after ordering and the restaurant wasn't even that busy. read more

Litz is definitely a hole in the restaurant, you would definitely miss it if you drove by the location. Food: The food is genuinely not bad, just a bit oily. The normal order I usually get is the laksa & Singapore fried noodles which are what they specialize in in my opinion. Price: It is around $15 minimum each entree. Take that for what you will. Ambiance: This place hasn't renovated at all since the time I've been alive, so it looks like its from the 80s. Overall: The food is not bad and it is a small business, so you should check it out once if you're interested in the food they serve. read more

Amazing Singapore noodles here have a fantastic "wok energy" grilled noodle flavor. It's got a smoky/perfect full flavor I have never found anywhere else. It's so good they don't even use curry. It's not salty, with a clean flavor. The seafood is fresh and not fishy/overpowering, with the perfect chew/bite, alongside the noodle texture. The ham, seafood, egg all add sweetness, smokiness, flavor. The tentacles and squid have a nice springy texture. The crisp texture from the mung beans adds to it. It's not greasy usually. They also have a fantastic laksa with a rich flavor, coconut milk and curry. You get great milk tea drinks within mins, and your food within 10 mins. It's no frills-- they just serve your food and leave you to enjoy! We'd gotten takeout here before and during the pandemic as well. It never disappoints! One time the noodles were greasy, but over nearly 20 years, it nearly never misses! Some notes: outstanding beef pandang curry is so rich tomato stew based fantastically flavorful My partner came here since he was 8 yrs old when his mom was a waitress here. He was that kid in the corner booth doing homework. As of pre-pandemic, there's low staff turnover, and good food, so their family kept coming long after she stopped working there to be a full time mom. They still recognize her. A reliable legendary mainstay. Make sure to try it! read more

Upon entering, you can feel the old school ambiance of Litz, which does feel both welcoming and bring back memories of days gone by. I was attended to fast and seated. Unfortunately, the food is where Litz is really disappointing. I ordered the laksa, and it not take long to arrive to my table. The noodles were flavorless and tasted as if they were not cooked properly. The broth smelled like coconut but had no flavor nor spice. The chicken and shrimp were the worst offenders, both tasting slimy and inedible. After 3 bites, I called it quits and informed the waitress about the terrible laksa. I do commend the waitress for offering to replace the dish, but with how bad the ingredients tasted, I had no confidence in a replacement dish. Unfortunately, I was still required to pay for this excuse of a meal. I do not see myself ever coming back, and it's up to you to decide if you'd like to try this laksa. read more

Laksa was nice. The last time we went, the soup wasn't hot like before. Service was ok but seems dismissive. read more

I've found this place on Yelp searches on several occasions, but I just never found an opportunity to go. Finally, my family and I decided to come here for brunch on a weekend. They don't have a specific breakfast or lunch menu. Although they seemed to be best known for their Singapore stir fried noodles, I instead ordered the laksa, as not a lot of restaurants in the area serve laksa. We also ordered the chili fish and the baked pork chop rice with onions. The laksa was super tasty, and not too spicy. The pork was crispy on the outside, very tender on the inside. The onions and the sauce for the pork chop rice was super tasty, and went well with the pork. The chili fish was crispy, and the peppers helped add a bit of a kick. This restaurant was very, very good. I would frequent this place for sure. read more

Great food and service. Been coming here for 35years eating Singapore rice noodle. And mince beef over rice. Best combo ever.

The Singaporean vermicelli is very traditional here. We also like the Singaporean sauce with seafood or fish here. It's been a go to spot since I was a child with my family and the consistency has been on point every visit. read more

Absolutely no. This was the first bad meal we'd had in SGV. Both my parents grew up in Singapore, so when I saw this restaurant listed as a Singaporean restaurant I had to come try it. They have a pretty extensive list of "Singapore sauce" dishes. I had never seen or heard of this one before and I wondered if it were one of those dishes that people make up calling it a Singapore dish when it actually isn't. Like the popular Singapore curry noodle dish. My mom always laughs when she sees that on menus because it's not actually a Singapore dish. Regardless I felt it was obligatory to try this "Singapore sauce" dish....when it arrived at the table. I immediately regretted it. It's hard to see in the photo but the color, look and texture of the dish literally looked like vomit. It was a light peachy orange sauce with what looked like egg mixed in to add to the color variation...and then tons of chunks of chicken. It tasted like milk with all purpose seasoning. The rice it came with was SO dry. It was like day or two old rice (which would've been okay to use for fried rice but not as a side). I sent a photo to my parents and they had no idea what the dish was lol The laksa was not good. Lacking richness, flavor...just no. The chicken congee wasn't that bad so we managed to eat that and the laksa but the Singapore sauce dish. No. Just no. The restaurant overall looked very dated which is fine but it definitely looked like it could use a good deep cleaning. It looks like this place could've been great back in the day but I personally wouldn't come back here especially after I saw their B health rating. read more

They're not all winning dishes but Singapore Fried Rice Noodle is amazing enough for me to come back. I'm addicted to it. It's so damn good. Just the right amount of seasoning and the toppings to go so well together. Some other stuff worth getting are Seafood with singapore sauce, baked pork chop is actually their onion pork chop? still not confirmed but I got it 2 out of 2 times now when i say baked pork chop, Baked portguese sauce chicken rice, and chicken wings(pretty standard, nothing to rave about but i love my salt and pepper chicken wings). The other stuff are ok and if you're not just aiming to get one dish, those are some solid options. If you are asking me what is the dish to try because "it's a one shot one kill" kind of thing then seriously get the Singapore Fried Rice Noodle. I'm still addicted to it... read more

Litz restaurant has been here over 30 years, I've passed by many times and everyone tells you to try their Singapore fried rice noodles that they make without the curry sauce. So I came here especially since they are part of the Monterey Park Rewards app where I can earn and redeem points here. The owner was super friendly and she introduced me to many dishes on her Recommended page of the menu that she's proud of beyond the Singapore rice noodles and here's my review: 1) Singapore fried rice noodles: I thought I would miss the curry powder version but I don't. Somehow the combo of the ham, shrimp and squid along with seasoning this dish is super addicting and I can't stop eating it! It's super good with chili oil if you like a kick. 2) Special Chili filet fish: a great appetizer or a dish you have with steam rice. The fish is fried just right where it's light and the best part is the topping of chili and ground pork on top that kicks it up a notch. If spicy is not your thing, you can move the topping aside and it's still a good dish to share. 3) Singapore Laksa = it's a medley of stuff on top like fried tofu and fish cake and shrimp. The soup is very tasty. Huge portion definitely best to share. 4) Baked pork chop rice: now I'm use to the HK style of this dish where they bake it with melted cheese and tomato sauce on top. This version is fried pork chops and then they put this gravy sauce on top with strips of onion. I personally don't like things fried then with a sauce over it...so it wasn't my favorite. 5) Padang curry beef: this was full of flavor and the beef was very tender and easy to eat. Definitely good with steam rice. They now allow dine in during lunch but for dinner you'll have to order it to go as they close at 7pm. The interior is pretty dated but the owner is working on some interior improvements and upgrades so hopefully it will draw more customers. Definitely worth checking out and support local business here in Monterey Park. read more

Just order the Padang Curry Beef but only if you don't mind a bit spice. I wouldn't come back here for anything else. We had Singapore Fried Rice Noodles which everyone on here raves about. It was nothing special to me. All they did was add squid and spam compared to any other Singapore Rice Noodles. I actually like the usual Singapore Rice Noodles. And for the Singapore Style Laksa, I was sooooo disappointed. This plate looks so good online but the taste just wasn't there. It was so bland and didn't taste good at all. Needed some salt or some sort of flavoring. read more

I have been coming here for about 20 years... Nothing has changed from the staff to the dishes. You can take that as good or bad. If you come here, every table will have at least one order of the Singaporean fried rice noodles. It's always been what I have compared other places to and this one is still the best. They still put a good portion of squid/shrimp/ham/egg in there. They also do not put curry powder in there like other cantonese places do and I prefer that. One thing that I will say is that the prices have increased quite a bit and are not really competitive now. The cup of chili sauce used to be substantially better than other restaurant's offerings but I guess it just tastes okay to me now since others have bettered their game. read more

When you are craving Singaporean food, this is the place! My go-to take order is always: 1) Singapore fried rice noodle. Actually more rice stick, it has seafood, bbq pork, and bean sprouts. 2) Penang curry beef. The beef is very tender and the curry is succulent (not too sweet, not too thick). My favorite curry from miles around! 3) Lemongrass fried chicken wings. Great flavor, crispy outside and juicy inside! They include some stir-fried green chiles so make sure you get all the last bits! And, if you can get it, ask for the hot and sour soup. Absolutely delicious! read more

Love this place. Their food is consistent. We love their Chinese sausage fried rice, Singapore noodles, black bean fish with chow fun in gravy, pork chop with gravy over rice and chicken or braised beef chow mein! read more

Love this place. A little hole in the wall but the food is amazing. My go to is the Singaporean sauce w/beef. The sauce has so much flavor and rich. A little bit of spicy that kicks it up a notch. Pour that over the rice and you get bite after bite of goodness. The beef is extremely tender and not hard/dry at all. read more

Never fails. Home cook meals. The Singaporean Laksa, Singapore noodle, Cha Kwe Tiau, chicken wings, garlic jalapeño fish or chickens are the usual. Service is friendly. Come early as it gets crowded during peak lunch & dinner hours. Clean environment. Recently visiting this place. Just realized how much I missed the foods. Always great as before. Same friendly people, that treat you like families. read more

I ordered the Pork Chop Rice to-go. Pork Chop Rice- Big portions, so that's a huge plus. There was a lot of rice, which was awesome. The meat was not that flavorful, and was not crispy like I thought it would be. The rice had a lot of sauce in it, but I wish it had a little less sauce. It came with some broccoli and onions which paired well with the dish. Overall, it was decent and didn't have anything super special about it. read more

Come here for one thing only, which is the Chinese Style Pork Chop ($10.95). Usually you would expect it to be more crispy, but instead it is on the wetter side which is the traditional way you make it in China. The portion is huge with the extremely flavorful pork "gravy" sauce, which goes well with the abundance of rice. Wished they paired more vegetables like broccoli and onions with the dish though, because it can be overwhelming at times. Definitely recommend coming here for the pork chop. read more

Litz Restaurant - Chinese Style Pork Chop ($10.95) - Singaporean Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This is my first and still my favorite Singapore cuisine place. I am in no position to judge whether it's authentic or not, but it's consistently tasty for over 20 years I have visited. Ever since I knew about Singapore fried rice noodle, I have tried it over at least 5 different restaurants in LA, and no one got close. Phoenix Cafe is too heavy flavor, and Sam Woo is simply not qualified. The Laksa is great, not too salty or spicy, even though I wished more noodle for the bowl because there is plenty of soup. Special chili fillet fish is beyond fried fish! The crust is thin and fish inside is tender. The spareribs soup is a must, to go with any fried noodle or rice dish, or simply drink it - it won't make you look for water on the table afterwards read more
