Longten has lunch specials so you know my dad and I are going to try this place out. And by try, I mean come by at least once every two weeks. It's pretty close by but also the quality of food is pretty good for how inexpensive the lunch specials are. You have to pay for the drinks, but so far I haven't seem a limit on the refill (I typically refill only once though but I've also been able to take the drink togo). I would recommend getting the salt and pepper pork chop - my dad says this is literally better than most places we've gone to. I think they season the batter, which is how its so flavorful. We also typically get the eggplant, which comes in a huge plate and comes with rice. My dad likes their curry but I'm not super excited about it. Its good, but not exciting, if you know what I mean. Service is typically pretty good. They move around pretty quickly and food typically comes out pretty quickly too. I would spend about 50-60 dollars and its enough food to last two people maybe an additional 2 or 3 meals, especially since most dishes come with a dish of white rice. The rice isn't great, like it's kind of dry, but its free so no complaints here. read more

Longten Cafe - The curry and pork chops, both lunch specials - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This used to be one of my favorite Hong Kong-style cafes, but lately the food quality has gone downhill. My go-tos here are the kung pao chicken and the sweet and sour fish. The last few times I've ordered the kung pao chicken, it barely had any veggies. It used to come with a mix of colorful bell peppers, but now it's mostly onions. The sweet and sour fish used to be lightly battered and nice and meaty. On my last visit, it was heavily battered and you could barely taste the fish. I'm not sure if they changed chefs, but the difference in quality is definitely noticeable. It's disappointing because I really like the staff. They're always friendly and provide great service. I'm hoping the food goes back to how it used to be. read more

I was here yesterday and had a fantastic experience. The dining room was bright and lively. Service was good and better than what I usually expect at a Hong Kong cafe. I got the lunch special and was impressed by the quality and value. Good prices and the portion sizes I remember from my youth. I ordered the BBQ pork fried rice, and they nailed it. It had that wonderful wok hei. My only small nitpick is that it was slightly under seasoned, but overall I enjoyed it. We also ordered the baked pork chop with fried rice, and that dish really stood out. The pork chop was nicely cooked and meaty. The tomato sauce and cheese were savory. Baked pork chop is pure comfort food for me, and this version definitely delivered. Would definitely come back. read more

Saw a post recently about their salted egg yolk chicken wings so I had to check them out! Love salted egg yolk anything. They did not disappoint! So delish outside and the wings were so moist and tender! Loved it! Steamed rice noodles were excellent as was the beef chow fun! The wok hei was . So good I kept wanting to eat more. Loved the on choy (hollow stem veggies) cooked in a spicy fermented tofu sauce, had a little kick. The scrambled eggs with shrimp were cooked to perfection! Shrimp was not overcooked and eggs were moist and fluffy! Baked sole filet rice was huge and cheesy! So good. Everything we had was excellent! Definitely recommend this place for dinner. Sorry I forgot to take pics of menu. Too busy chatting. Service was good too. Restaurant is nice and roomy with high ceilings and nice decor. Great parking too! Plus it's free! read more

Good price, authentic cantonese dishes. Good size portions. We went on a Sunday night and it was quiet. If it wasnt so far from where i live i would go there more often. Its a good everyday resturant. read more

Haven't been here for a while. Ordered the seafood and bean curd clay pot, deep fried fish filet with spicy salt, salted egg & minced pork clay pot rice, and black pepper beef udon. The dishes were good, but the minced pork & salted egg clay pot rice wasn't as good. It lacked flavor and didn't tasted like a clay pot rice. The fish filet was very yummy and our favorite dish. There was only 1 server since there weren't that many people, but it was a nice, friendly, and quick service. Some of the items on the menu have changed, but they haven't updated it. You will need to ask the server upon ordering. It was pretty empty and quiet with only a few tables. Food and prices are still good tho so will definitely come back. read more

I ordered two breakfast combos at Longten Cafe last week. One was preserved egg and pork porridge with soy sauce fried noodles. The other order was HK-style Sampan porridge with soy sauce fried flat noodles. The breakfast also includes complimentary drinks. I got there before 9 a.m., and there were not many customers. However, I've been waiting almost half an hour to get my breakfast to-go there. I also saw a customer come in to dine in, but the servers did not notice him for a while. The food was not bad, and the price was good. I saw more customers come in when I left. Overall, it was about 3.5 stars. read more

Have only had breakfast here. Lots of food options and there are combo options too. Another bonus is their buttered pineapple bun x2 for $6 deal! read more

Five stars!! This place deserves to be busy on a Tuesday night. The white fish with black bean sauce, amazing. The steamed salted fish patty with ginger, even I liked it...tge french dtyle strak cubes, tender.. .the portions are generous...the food is hot....everything authentic and delicious. Parking is free, underground...don't take the surface street entrance, go below. The dining room is spacious and open....our 80 and 90 year old moms love this place. Bring yours. read more

Lunch special 11am-5pm allows phone takeout $11.95-$12.95 +$1.99 Ice Teas!! Usually lunch special is dine-in, but they do allow take-out!!! Rice is included if you order from entree B section. Takes credit card. Located inside Taipei Center, with underground parking. Their lunch schedule is not the best but it is affordable. Their lunch special menu might be smaller than other MPK canto restaurants but they are the cheapest in decent string beans, fried pork chop and cod filet though. We ordered $12.95 Items that include white rice: - Deep-fried Pork Chop With Spicy Salt. This dish is a must!!! Huge portions!!! And done decent. - Sauteed String Beans. This was decent. We'd order this again as our veggie dish due to being more of a string beans dish person vs bok choy. - House Special Pork With Preserved Vegetable. Eh. Not bad but not something for us. - Cod Filet With Black Bean. Okay. I can't complain since I like cod filet. There are $11.95 Noodle soup dishes but unsure if this place is good for soupy items? Their $12.95 Baked items looked promising though, typical canto cafe dishes. Next time, down to try $11.95 items like C1. Beef Chow Fun C8. BBQ Pork Fried Rice C9. Hainan Chicken Rice Or $12.95 items A6. Grilled Chicken Steak with spaghetti (vs rice). Tbd on what sauce but mushroom or black pepper are common picks vs garlic. B3. Salted Fish and Diced Chicken in Tofu Clay Pot. B8. Bok Choy with Garlic (if we aren't craving string beans). ---- For lunch specials in MPK area, we've rotate between these places. Ultimately we prefer takeout, reason we would consider Longten Cafe and Fuxing Springs -- 1. Taste of MP. Priced higher but offer higher quality. Don't allow call-in lunch special take-out. Their sauteed to certain fried dishes are all better than the other 2 places below. Dishes like $12.99 string beans, walnut shrimp, $14.99 Bitter Melon. $14.99 Seafood Chow mein with gravey, $15.99 Intestine dishes, etc. Their lunch special is full and filled with every typical lunch special dish...clams black bean sauce, beef tomatoes, fish flets ., tofu, etc. They aren't good with their sweet sour, eggplant sauce dishes though. But if you're picky like most 626 canto eaters, then the 2 restaurants below might not be for you. Our senior parents like going to Red 99 or nearby another place for their lunch special instead...which are always packed with a wait. Taste of MP isn't on their radar too. 2. Longten Cafe. Medium tier priced and quality. Limited menu. - $12.95 fried pork chop, string beans, cod filet black bean sauce. TBD if any bake dishes with spaghetti or hanian chicken would be worth getting too next time. 3. Fuxing Springs. Cheapest in quality. But I guess we'll order here if we're going super cheap, and wanted to load up on more veggie type dishes. - Good for $9.99 L19. Bitter melon with chicken. Maybe $9.99 L25. Beef with string beans (not sauteed type, steamed). - I've yet to try other items like $11.99 L7. Stir fry Choy Sum with garlic, $13.99 L26. Beef and Broccoli. Or $14.99 pan to steamed fish. Their sweet, sour, or eggplant saucey stuff aren't good. 4. Last resort fast, affordable takeout (Chinese fast food) from Jiu Hao Can Ting. No lunch special but closes late at 9pm. Real Chinese fast food, not American Chinese fast food. They are probably better for their cold appetizers. read more

One of the lesser known HK cafe spot in the SGV. My favorite place for their baked items. Pricier items compared to other places but the quality makes up for it. The baked pork chop rice comes with a beautifully broiled cheese on top. Crispy and has a tasty sauce. Good ratio of sauce and rice. Standard pork chop pieces. Good service and quick with refills. The pork with preserved egg congee. Came out hot. RIce it self didn't have much flavor but the pork was flavorful along with the preserved egg which carried it. Spacious cafe with underground parking. Was quiet for a Tuesday night dinner. Would come back for the baked items and to try their other stuff. read more

I ordered congee and vermicelli, baked fish and pine apple bun with breakfast milk tea drink for to go. The cafe not included pineapple bun which is a combo of fish. Second time I ordered the same to go and mentioned not giving pineapple bun, the cafe make sure to include 1 pineapple bun and say not giving drink for to go. That shows the cafe knowingly not gave pineapple bun the first time which is including in the combo paid purchase. The third time done in, the shop hostile and inefficient by I have to call waiter/waitress more than 5 times to place an order since they are avoiding eye contact poor customer service. Dishonest Longten rob customer pineapple bun and continue rude. read more

French toast was good. Their breakfast menu provides excellent value. Their tomato baked rice however was not as good as before. Perhaps an off day or change of recipe. Coffee milk tea and lemon ice also lacked flavor on this recent visit. read more

I came to this restaurant looking for one thing and exactly one dish only, baked pork chop rice. I have been scouring all of san gabriel valley for the best pork chop rice comparable to what I grew up eating. The baked pork chop rice was more fried rice than sauce and pork chop. There wasn't much pork chop to begin with and wasn't the thicker kind. The fried rice at the bottom was pretty tasty but the lack of tomato sauce made it taste dry. There just wasn't a good balance of sauce to pork chop to fried rice. It felt like a 2:1:5 ratio. My must pair with a baked pork chop rice is a lemon iced tea. Their lemon iced tea was way too sweet for my liking. Even after adding more slices of lemon, the sugary-ness was too strong. It did not pair well with the baked pork chop rice. Overall, I came with high expectations after being told this place specializes in baked pork chop rice. It did not live up to the hype and I was slightly disappointed. My search continues. read more

I have been coming back to this restaurant many times because I like their food and prices. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We had chicken served with ginger and green onion sauce, beef chow mein (Hong Kong style), seafood with tofu in clay pot, fish fillet with vegetables and spicy salt chicken wings. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. By the way, If you like your chow mein noodles crispy, tell the wait staff you want Hong Kong style chow mein with crispy noodles. If you don't like crispy noodles tell them you don't want crispy noodles. You can order it the way you like it. At lunch time, you can order coffee, tea or half coffee half tea for an additional $1.99 (special pricing). A very good deal. You can get one free refill. The dining room and restrooms are nice and clean. Plenty of parking underneath the restaurant. read more

This might be a slightly inflated review since it was my first meal back from Boston, but Longten Cafe was really good. It has a typical Hong Kong cafe menu with a thousand dishes to choose from. The place is clean and the pricing is very affordable. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything had a nice balance of meat and vegetables. The chicken steak was cooked perfectly, and of course the black pepper sauce was delicious. I happily ate the leftovers the next day. read more

With underground parking in the plaza, Lengthen Cafe offers classic Cantonese cuisine and Hong Kong cafe style dishes. The decor of the restaurant was a bit outdated, but there was plenty of seating and fairly open layout. Service was fast on a weekday. We went for the lunch special available 11am-5pm with entree selections between $11.99-12.99 and drinks $1.99 (hot or cold HK lemon tea, milk tea, coffee milk tea, coffee, and Chinese tea) with 1 refill. Price wise, it's a great deal as the portion was generous; however, the flavor didn't wow me. We tried beef chow fun, beef chow mein, grilled chicken steak, and fried pork chop with spicy salt; all were average or under seasoned. The mushroom sauce for the grilled chicken steak had more butter than mushroom flavor, wouldn't recommend. The drinks were not too sweet, and the condensed milk jar was readily available on the table to add to the desired sweetness. read more

Came here around 9 PM on a Thursday evening, about an hour before closing, with a party of four. AMBIANCE A classic Cantonese café through and through--and I loved it.

Overall: I'd definitely come back if I were in the area. read more

Ordered a variety of different dishes for a family gathering. The standouts were the sole fillet in creamy spinach and cheese over rice and the peking style pork chops. These 2 dishes got cleared out quick. The filet mignon cubes were also good but a bit pricey considering. The baked pork chop with spaghetti lacked flavor and the spaghetti was quite mushy. I always get a little surprised when I see a restaurant not rated as A but then I remember that a lot of restaurants up here are B and that's pretty normal. I'd probably try a different HK cafe next time. This place was ok but not a lot to rave about. There is underground parking but I don't know how busy it gets during weekends or dinner times. It was rather empty as we were there at an off time. read more

We came with a friend for lunch today, and it wasn't too packed considering it was a weekend. Service was friendly, but one of our dishes never even came out after we finished all of our other dishes (we ate really slow too, since we had to feed kids as well). For the dishes that did come, they were just okay. We got a baked chicken with rice and tomatoe sauce and a claypot rice with salted fish, chicken, and tofu. We ordered the chicken steak as well, but that one never arrived at our table, so we ended up canceling it. The baked dish was okay, but the claypot came in a stainless steel pan/pot with a plate of white rice. It definitely not a claypot, like I was expecting. The rice was just regular white rice too, not cooked in a claypot and transferred out. There was no crunch or anything to it. I was pretty disappointed with this spot today. Their hk milk tea was decent though, and rating is probably closer to 2.5, but I rounded down for them forgetting one dish and then labeling another dish as a claypot rice, when it definitely was not cooked in a claypot. read more

We went for the breakfast congee + rice noodle combos and they were great. The food came out hot and fresh. They had a nice variety of congees and rice noodles to choose from. Combos also came with large cups of tea, coffee, milk tea, and milk tea coffee. We went on a weekday morning and there was plenty of parking in the underground lot. Restaurant was clean and service was quick. The only thing stopping us from giving it a 5 star review was that there were no add-on topping options. We would have liked the option of adding things like cilantro, green onions, fermented egg, etc. read more

I never leave reviews, but this place was a total gem. My boyfriend and I were starving on a Saturday night and wanted good food that was worth the price -- this exceeded our expectations. It has that "hole in the wall" vibe, but the dining area has nice ambience and it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. We ordered the beef and broccoli (with rice) and the chicken chow fun. Both were delicious, flavorful, and came in huge portions -- we even had leftovers. Our total was about $35 before tip, which is amazing for the quality. Highly recommend this spot. It deserves a line out the door, but for now it's our little secret. We'll definitely be back! read more

Came by for breakfast the other day and it was a deceitful experience. Parking is available in the private parking lot or on the street. Started off with a hot milk tea with less sugar and the waitress informed me that there is a $1 surcharge for to go cups?!? ...ok. She later came back and said she waived the $1 surcharge since I didn't buy a combo meal?!? Ordered a beef rice noodle roll with extra bbq pork and extra egg ($4.95 + $2 + $1.5) and a bbq pork rice noodle roll without beef came out from the kitchen?!? The rice noodle roll was actually decent. During payment, the waitress insisted on topping off my tea before I went to pay...which was odd. To my surprise, I was charged $10.95 for the noodle roll since "I didn't order a combo." After informing the waitress that I ordered from the menu that I pointed to and needed them to charge the price that is on the menu, the waitress reluctantly refunded the $1.5. Their story was that the extra bbq pork was $3 and the extra egg is $2 despite the menu clearly stating otherwise... $18/head after tax and gratuity. Caveat emptor read more

Came here for dinner with a friend since it was walking distance from the park where we play pickleball although after arriving, we realized they have a free garage to park in so you can definitely drive and not worry about parking. Waiters were nice and friendly. They kept our water filled throughout the night. My friend and I ordered the beef chow fun and the minced meat baked spaghetti. Both are classic Hong Kong/Cantonese dishes. My friend said the beef chow fun was good. My baked spaghetti was good too. It's nothing special but hits the spot as a homey comfort food. Both dishes were huge portions! Definitely a spot to share dishes family style with friends/family. Overall, I'm happy with this local spot. It's an affordable casual restaurant if you're in the neighborhood. read more

A Cantonese fusion restaurants are everywhere in LA county but this one is unique in a sense that it offered variety of choices baked, fried, stir-fried, lunch combo, lunch special, and many more! Service was great. Waitress was friendly & attentive. Food delicious with tanginess, gelatinous, flavorful with basic herbs such as garlic, onion, scallions, cilantro, celery, etc. we're on the menu. The dining hall is bright, and it is a typical Chinese restaurant ambiance enveloping with clattering, chattering, laughing parties from times to times. Parkings are shared among other stores within the building. It is an under-building garage with guard monitoring during business hour. No ev chargers available in the garage. Restrooms are at par.

Longten Cafe - 37. Fried Chicken Wings with Spicy Salt / 椒鹽雞翼 Soy sauce chicken Yan chow fried rice - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I had this spot bookmarked for their cheung fun (rice noodle rolls), clay pot rice, and milk tea, and we finally got to try it out! (Spoiler: these were indeed what we liked). We came by around 11:30am on a Saturday, and we were able to park pretty easily in their underground parking. There were stairs and an elevator back up, and Longten was on the right when we exited via the stairs. We were seated pretty much right away. Service was pretty quick, and most of what we ordered was right off the lunch menu - our drink orders (HK milk tea and coffee milk tea) were taken right away, and we got our drinks pretty soon after. After we ordered our food, the bbq pork rice noodle came out pretty quickly. The house special pork with preserved vegetable came out a little under 15 min later, and the pork chop with eggplant clay pot came out 10 min after that. Now, for the food/drinks: -Coffee milk tea: this was like a not-too-sweet, not-too-strong milk coffee. It was solid and easy to drink. -HK milk tea: you can definitely taste the tea. It's slightly sweeter than the coffee milk tea, which is good, since the slightly bitter tea flavor comes through. It seems a little watery? -bbq pork rice noodle ($5.95): our favorite! These rice noodles are a bit thicker than what we get at dim sum spots, but it came out warm, soft, and with a nice chew. The bbq pork was nice, and while there's not a ton of pork in it, there were enough of the little bits for each bite. I'd definitely get it again, especially at $5.95. -lunch house special pork with preserved vegetable: not our favorite, but definitely just a personal preference issue. If you like the flavor of preserved vegetables, you'd probably like this. As for the texture of the meat, the skin layer was soft and gelatinous, the fatty layer was super tender but obviously fatty, and the meat was fall-apart-tender, but not necessarily in a juicy way? -lunch pork chop with eggplant clay pot: imagine fried pork chop covered and cooked with a tasty sauce with a mountain of eggplant. The flavor of the pork and sauce was good, and the texture of the meat (though it's mostly bone lol) was tender enough to make me question whether I was taking a bite of fat or meat. The eggplant was soft, but not super flavorful, and there was a LOT of it. Overall, I can definitely see myself coming back for some more rice noodle and maybe a different clay pot. read more

The Hong Kong style pork chop rice we ordered had a very weird sour taste. We asked to get a replacement of the same pork chop rice but they refuse to do so.

First time coming to this restaurant. Place was clean and service was good. Food is typical Chinese food, portions are reasonable. Price is great - much better than other Asian restaurants.

Hands down, it's one of the best HK cafes in the area if not is not the best. Service is hit and miss. The waitresses are attentive. The waiter is not. However, Will definitely be back! Pineapple Bun with butter: 5/5. Big bun. Came out warm. No, ain't sharing! Gotta order one per person! Fish Paste and Lettuce Porridge: 3.5/5. Decent. Fish paste not fishy and it's bouncy. Points off for very little lettuce. Pork kidney and Liver Porridge: 3/5. No surprises. Not bad tho. Chinese donut: 2/5: not crispy. Disappointed. Soy Sauce Fried Noodle: 3.5/5. Tasty and not Salty. Just a little dried. Goes well with any porridge! Milk tea: 4.5/5. the cold one is too sweet! Must order the hot one. The hot ones are non-sweetened. Just add a little condense milk into it: perfecto! French Toast with Peanut Butter: 3.5/5. I like it with the syrup on the side. Decent. Baked Pork chop in Tomato sauce over rice: 4.5/5. Almost perfect. The sauce is a tiny bit too sour for me. Pork Ribs Clay Pot Rice: 5/5. It takes about 30 min to prepare. Great taste. The sauce is awesome too. Will try the other clay pot rice items next time! XO sauce seafood fried rice: 5/5. It didn't disappoint. To my surprise, it is full of XO sauce taste. It has a little kick from the jalapeños. They are not stingy on the shrimps and scallops either. It is a MUST HAVE!!! Needless to say, I have found a place where I will stop by every time I go to SoCal! Bookmarked! read more

Tried Longten for the first time. Seconds upon walking in, we were greeted by the waitress and immediately seated. The restaurant was very clean and had the "new" restaurant feel. My party looked at the menu and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of choices and price range (ranges from $11-$13). We were all very hopeful because it's extremely difficult to find good eats for an affordable price range nowadays. To cut to the chase, we ordered the following... Beef Chow Fun - 5/10 Huge portion, but it just did not do it for me. It was missing something. Fried Tofu with Seafood - 5/10 Very, very, very bland... Also, the seafood was extremely rubbery/overcooked. Pork Chop with Spicy Salt - 5/10 It looks really good... but it was poorly spiced, lacked a lot of jalapeños for an extra kick, and most importantly, it was NOT crispy. Shrimp and Leek Rice Noodles - 7/10 Solid. Overall, the ambiance of the restaurant and service saved this review. The food was definitely not made for my tastebuds, which is completely understandable. Edit* Oh, I forgot to mention this when I initially created this review. The payment system they used during my visit automatically defaults to 20% tip, and the lowest selectable default is 18%. Of course, you can select "Custom"... but that option is not that obvious to people that have what I call "payment anxiety". read more
