    Baked Pork chop Rice
    Danny Y.

    I had lunch here with my siblings. It was not too busy, but was getting a bit loud. It is a good place for breakfast and lunch. They have specials. Complementary refills on lemon iced tea. Place is Clean and have a friendly staff. Rating: 3 1/2 Stars

    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!

    Good deal for breakfast and free refills. Plenty of parking . If you arrive at 10 ish they will let you order from the lunch or breakfast menu.

    Black pepper beef udon
    Vanna T.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    114. Baked Pork Chop in Tomato Sauce / 紅汁焗豬扒
    Brandon S.

    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.

    141. Seafood and Bean Curd in Clay Pot /海鮮豆腐煲
    Maria L.

    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.

    My #1 place to eat is Longten Cafe!!! I love this place so much. The food is just phenomenal and I would highly recommend this place for anyone who just loves to eat and eat. The service here was hands down amazing! So kind to their customers and cooked the food to perfection! The ambiance was nice and cozy. We wanted to watch something on one of the TV's but it was broken. But that's okay. 100% highly recommend this place and that I would definitely come back here.

    Order this. Apparently the best in town according to the moms.

    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.

    Mieke C.

    Definitely my favorite place for Hong Kong-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is delicious and affordable, and most of the time there's no wait at all. The ambiance feels like stepping into a once-fancy neighborhood restaurant, with a nostalgic, classic charm. Service is consistently fast and friendly, and parking is free and conveniently located. What more could you ask for?

    Grilled Chicken Steak with Spaghetti 香煎雞扒
    Maggie C.

    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.

    The curry and pork chops, both lunch specials

The soup was nice, clean, and light. The veggies were perfect: bright green and a bit crisp, not over done. The wantons and noodles were tasty. The dumplings were very nice. Both had thin wrappers, full of shrimp, and so tasty with the chili sauce. We would definitely return. Next time we will be buying some frozen dumplings and wantons to take home.

They are located next to the Jade Plaza on Garvey Ave in Monterey Park. I parked in the plaza's parking lot, but I'm not 100% sure if they truly are part of the plaza. They may not be. Please read signages. Limited street parking. Upon entry, the lady behind the counter was attending to another customer. When it was my turn, she took my order quickly. She seemed friendly, but not the most smiliest. They are known for their Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup so I got one of them. I saw Preserved Egg with Shredded Pork Congee so I had to get it, too. Lastly, I noticed another customer with an order of Black Sesame Paste... must get an order of that because I love black sesame. I decided to dine-in instead of take-out. This place isn't huge at all. It's a mom and pop whole in the wall very casual establishment with about 4 tables and some chairs. Definitely not a spot for large parties. Now to the food... Shrimp wonton noodles was quite authentic and deliciously good. Broth was light and clean without the msg flavor. Noodles were crisp and had a bouncy texture to it. WOW, wontons were the best! Good amount of quality pork and shrimp filling that was quite flavorfully seasoned. Loved it! Definitely recommend to all wonton egg noodle connoisseurs! Just one itty bitty gripe, portion was small for the price of almost $12. I felt I only got a few good bites from the bowl. I would still get it again though. I'm a sucker for great eats regardless of price LOL. Congee with tasty shredded pork and slightly salted preserved eggs was warm and savory with a soft silky texture and mild comforting flavor. I haven't had such an authentic congee in such a very long time. This is must get every time! It was worth the almost $10. I should have ordered one to-go... for sure next time. For the black sesame paste, this one was a bit of a disappointment. It was cold and not hot. Liquid was very thin. I'm used to thick black sesame. Taste was horrible. It was like eating expired black sesame grains. Did not like it at all. Will not get again. I almost tossed the whole thing away, but ended up adding some pre-packaged flavorful black sesame paste I had at my home pantry to thicken it. Afterwards, it tasted more decent like black sesame should taste. Will I be back? Yes, I'll be back for the wonton noodles and congee plus to try their other authentic Chinese dishes. They sell frozen wontons and dumplings, too. I will have to buy a bag or two of them next time. Thanks Hong Coffee & Bakery!

    Parking 5/5 -Big free parking lot…read more Service 5/5 -We were seated right away and staff was professional, efficient and friendly. Restaurant was not busy at the time, our food came out pretty quickly. At the end of the meal, they offered to help pack our leftover food along with sauce, superior service. Food 5/5 -Deep fried salted pig feet, this is a MUST get. I cannot emphasize enough how well executed this dish was, the pig feet came deboned. Skin was thin, crispy but still had a delicate layer of gelatinous fat under that's so addicting and great pairing with the complimentary pot of white rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the seasoning is not overwhelming but tasteful enough that keeps you wanting to go back for more. Great portion for sharing, however you may not want to share and just keep it all for yourself. -Salted fish and garlic chicken fried rice, rice was fragrant with the delicate saltiness from the dry aged salted fish. The dish is a combination of fine bits and pieces of fish, chicken and notable amount of ginger. I'm usually not a fan of ginger but I actually liked it for this dish, brought a comfortable level of sharpness to it. But if you really hate ginger, you might want to avoid as they're really fine pieces and would be impossible to avoid. -Sliced beef with Chinese broccoli, beef was tender and full of the wok flame flavor, vegetables were fresh and crunchy, no notes. Ambiance 5/5 -Restaurant was super quiet, I really liked how calm it was in there. Mostly comfortable booths around the perimeter and tables were all separated by clear dividers. My favorite was the bathroom's decor, it felt like an early 90s metal/futuristic ocean theme.

    After not going here for about a year, we ended up eating here twice in two weeks. I had started a…read morereview after the first visit, and it wasn't going to be a great one, but the second visit redeemed themselves a bit, so I'll go with that experience. First, my favorite thing about this place is how proactive they are about refilling your iced tea. Love it. Their food is really good. They have some dishes that others in their category (e.g., Kim Tar, Newport, Boston Lobster) don't have, and most everything we've eaten was pretty good. It doesn't take long for the food to come out, though they are stingier than you'd expect when it comes to the amount of white rice given. Of the unique offerings, my kids' favorite is probably the bubble waffles, which they give out complimentary at the end of the meal. The weird thing though is between the two visits, I learned they give the same amount -- one -- whether the dining group has 6 people or 12 people. Stingy. Price-wise, they are definitely at the top end of their category. I don't think it's close to being worth it especially given the quality of their competition, but to each his own I guess. I do like that you can make reservations here, and parking is super easy.

Dim sum is always a win, but there's something really hearty and classic about a good Hong Kong style breakfast. Though Delicious Food Corner is one of many in a chain, this specific location in Montebello is hands down one of the best Hong Kong breakfasts I've ever had. It's a meal I continue to return to, even if I've had the same dish multiple times. Let me tell you about it. Firstly, the advice I'd give you is try to come here before 11:30 AM. Once that time hits the line will start forming and this small restaurant will unfortunately have you wait while you smell all the delicious food this place has to offer. I, for one, hate waiting, especially when I know how delicious the meal will be so I try to arrive before the morning/afternoon rush begins. When you arrive you have to try the Hong Kong breakfast combo. It comes with eggs, hash brown, toast, and your choice of protein. Though the chicken steak is a classic and popular choice, I go for the pork chop. They are two perfectly fried pork chops coming with a crispy panko exterior that is light with almost no oily residue or flavor. The crunch of the panko is a symphonic melody accompanying the savory flavors with each bite. Pair it with a jammy, buttery toast and you have a perfect combo of sweet and savory. Their dim sum selection isn't extensive but comes with all the classics like shumai, har gow, char siu buns, pineapple buns, and rice noodles with beef. All of them come fresh and somehow taste even better when accompanied with their unlimited milk tea or iced lemon tea. Simple cuisine elevated and executed masterfully. Whenever I'm in the SGV area and I want Hong Kong breakfast this is the place I think of every time. Though I've only started coming here in the past three months I'll never say no to eating at Delicious Food Corner when invited. Invite me out!

Service at JJ is decent and they can get very busy during lunch and dinner time. We also ordered and tried their Singerpore style turnip cake, man the flavor profile is so good, the curry flavor with the flavoring dried ingredients combined together for the ah ha moment why this is one of their best seller!! I recommend this place if you love HK style cafe

    JJ Cafe has been around for many years and has been a Monterey staple for affordable Hong Kong…read morecomfort food They're open daily 7am-2am Parking can be tough but there is nearby street parking and there is a parking lot in the back. Inside was spacious and had plenty of seating. Service could use some improvement in terms of friendliness and attentiveness. Lunch special was such a good deal! All the dishes are under $20 and there was a good variety of dishes. It's nice that it's daily 11am-5pm and it comes with either rice or spaghetti and coffee or tea (with one refill!). Got the Grilled Pork Chop & Chicken Steak ($14.25) with mushroom sauce. Love that there are a nice variety of sauces to choose from - black pepper, mushroom, onion, garlic, spicy garlic, or teriyaki! The pork chop and chicken steak were huge and very crispy. It was packed with flavor and not too salty or greasy. The meat was very tender and juicy. I was very impressed with the portion and how delicious it was! The complimentary Iced Tea was very refreshing but slightly too sweet but it was nice that it came with a free refill! Overall, I really enjoyed the food and would definitely recommend and return!

    Came in on the weekend. Parking lot was packed but we still found parking. You can order dim sum…read morehere almost any time of the day. They have a new menu and we ordered the Minced Pork & Egg Rice. This is the non-gravy/sauce version like some local restaurants are starting to do. Break the runny egg yolk and mix everything together. It was pretty good. We also ordered the pan fried turnip cake which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's better than many dim sum restaurant versions. Also got their beef rice roll again. Their rice rolls are always a hit. Don't forget to order their HK lemon iced tea on the side. It pairs well with everything especially on a hot summer day. Good air conditioning. Lots of indoor seating. Great service. Highly recommend!

    I am always on the lookout for new Cantonese restaurants, especially brunch spots, in Monterey…read morePark. I've known of Steam Fresh for a while, but saw they recently started a brunch specials menu. So I decided to come here to try their brunch. I came with family. Steam Fresh is a small restaurant but the AC is good and the staff are super friendly. The restaurant is clean. I ended up getting two breakfast specials, a noodle soup with eggs and spam with a side of zhongzi, also got congee with turnip cake. We also ordered a steamed rice with Chinese sausage and chicken. Both breakfast specials came with iced lemon tea which was awesome. The steamed rice was quite tasty. My favorite dish was probably the zhongzi which is like a Chinese tamale. It was very well seasoned and the pork was flavorful. Overall solid brunch restaurant in San Gabriel Valley.

    Came by for breakfast the other day and it was a decent experience. Parking was available both in…read moretheir private lot or on nearby surface streets. The cafe opens early at 7 am. Upon entering, the cafe was getting warm and stuffy, making it slightly uncomfortable. The restaurant was much more comfortable when the air conditioner kicked on. Opted for the beef brisket wonton noodle soup. The portions were gigantic, especially the generous portions of noodles. The wontons were flavorful and the beef brisket was tender. The hot milk was decent too. Their fried chicken wings are a perfect snack for long-haul trips! Service by the staff was cordial. ~$28/head after tax and gratuity for breakfast with tons of leftovers!

    Hong Kong Cafe will always rank as one of the top spots I'd recommend for some yummy HK noms as it…read morenever fails me! When you walk in, it's like you step foot into Hong Kong. The decor is just perfect. I'm not sure if this is a sister restaurant to the other Hong Kong Cafe on Atlantic, but it seems like it as decor, plates, and majority of menu items are the same. We came early morning, so the place was empty and service was quick. Of course we got to start with some drinks. We ordered the Lemon tea and Milk tea. Great drink options that honestly pair really good with any of the menu items. It was breakfast time so we had to order the pineapple "bo law" baos. They add butter in it to make it a bit more creamier and savory, but you can definitely request without it if you'd like! For the main dishes, we ordered the congee with preserved duck egg and pork, and the Austrailian Beef friend rice. The rich and earthy congee is a must for the cooler weather and is such a good meal to order especially on your sick days The fried rice was amazinggg with how fluffy the rice was with the smokiness of the beef -- having the sunny side egg on top was ‍ Not included in today's meal is their green onion chicken rice. All I have to say is that it's gas. I think they ran out of chicken this time, but definitely recommend it because it's simple and delicious af. Absolutely love and recommend this place ‍
