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.

The best orange chicken. Yang Chow has competition.

I admire the tranqiliuity the place has to offer, has alot of seating. The only thing I do have a concern about is the price. I'm a big fan of the spicy kung pao chicken with the addition of rice however the price seems too much to afford. The rice should already be included with the kung pao chicken seeing as how pricey it already is by itself. As for the tip, I dont mind leaving a tip but tipping constantly can really leave a drain on the wallet. I absolutely LOVE eating here but wont be returning anytime soon, there are also better and cheaper options.

They didn't give the portion size they used to and the prices had gone up. But the quality is going down. Last time most of it wasn't edible. I decided to give it another try today but it wasn't good at all. The food tasted old. Like it had been sitting there. The chow mein is only noodle now, it used to have some cabbage and other things but now it's chewy noodles with no flavor. The bbq pork was like beef jerky. The orange chicken was dry and hard. It tastes like microwaved food that has been sitting out. And the prices are much higher, they don't match what you get either. This place seems to not care about the customers anymore and just the money. It's sad we have come here every Christmas Eve since before my now adult children were in school. It was a tradition. Looks like we need to look for a new place.

We ordered 2 picks I got three picks with a few egg rolls. We ordered teriyaki chicken and BBQ chicken the proprior make sure that they were fresh, wow Place has some age but very clean and the female proprior was very friendly. She is the 3rd owner but she told me the cooking staff is the same cooking staff from the previous owner so food is still good. Some minor changes and new menus to display coming soon. The food was packed in the to go containers. All the food selections tasted fresh and worth it. First time I didn't finish my plate still left overs for the morning.

I expected the fried rice to be actual fried rice but it was just white rice tossed in soy sauce. The kung pao chicken tasted good, but there was no stir fried vegetable in there? Which was confusing. The meal also came w a fried vegetable egg roll, which tasted fine. Overall experience and food quality was fine. I wouldn't mind getting it again for a quick lunch, but I would probably try something different. When I went to go pick up, the food service was pretty quick and I was shocked to see that it was actually quite busy inside. I was told to my coworkers that this spot is actually a Whittier local spot. Ambiance is pretty dated and it could be easy to miss from the road. Parking is available behind.

If you look up "great places to eat in Monterey Park," this spot comes up again and again. I've…read moreseen social media influencers rave about it, and several people in my personal life have recommended it too. All I can say is the hype is real. My crew and I went on a Friday night, and even though it was very busy, we were seated fairly quickly. There were four of us, and here's what we ordered: chicken fried rice, Shanghai-style chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, and juicy pork dumplings. Chicken Fried Rice: It was soft and pillowy with great flavor, though I felt it could have used a bit more color. It looked a little pale, but it was still delicious. Shanghai-Style Chow Mein: This was perfect. The flavor was spot on, the sauce was well-balanced, and the noodles had the ideal texture. The ratio of noodles, vegetables, and meat was just right. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight for me. My only regret is not ordering more to take home. The chicken was crispy without being overdone, and it was coated in that delicious sweet and sour sauce. Juicy Pork Dumplings: We were at a dumpling house, so we had to order dumplings. These did not disappoint. They were very flavorful, and the broth inside was rich and satisfying. We originally planned to order more dishes, but the portions were generous, and we ended up with just the right amount to leave satisfied. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. I can't wait to come back and try more.

On a Saturday packed house but good service!

We have never had bad service, not sure if it was meant to be passed on to the younger generation that now runs the place, but always welcoming always smiling. This is a middle of the road good old Chinese American food spot. I mean old school. Same recipes, still serving egg drop soul and crispy fried noodles with mustard/ketchup before your meal, and complimentary Tea. That being said, if you grew up eating this style of american chinese food you will love it. This is def not Panda Express personal servings, its family style dining with plates to share. Our usual order is Kung Pao chicken, mongolian beef and chicken fried rice. Their sauces are old school, very runny and doesnt stick to the protein very well. I pass on the orange chicken, orange sauce is super sweet but lacks kick. Also the chicken is never coated properly in the sauce, just lightly tossed. Again very Mid. Not bad, not the best. Best around the area yes.
