    Current special
    Vivian L.

    Came with a large party of 20 for a reunion. Food was cooked well! Particularly their king crab special was excellent. Crab was cooked perfectly and you can taste the natural sweet crab taste against the tons of butter. Their other stir fried dishes such as filet mignon, veg, tofu, etc also were well made. Also thoroughly enjoyed their salted egg yolk crab. That was amazing too and worth the spike in cholesterol Service was okay, the dude bussing the table didn't check if I was done eating and took my bowl of crab and rice that I spent time gathering up luckily it was the last 4 pieces but still!!! Standard no frills, say what you need type service. Spacious though, and the spot was not that full for a Monday night. Regardless, king crab was fire and well worth it. Saw others eat geoduck sashimi and I def want some of that too.

    Salted Egg Fried King Crab 10/10
    Anthony V.

    Came here for dinner twice this month with family. This place is a great place to eat for dinner with family, prices aren't too bad. My favorite dish was their salted egg fried king crab the batter is delicious (see first photo) and flavorful it goes well with the meat! The other King Crab is also cooked nicely with the garlic and other garnishes. The Chinese bbq chicken was good too. Only bad thing about this place is they don't take Apple Pay so don't forget to bring your credit cards....overall 8/10. Service is typical Chinese restaurant, if you speak Chinese it will definitely be easier but servers do speak English. Most days I noticed the restaurant is not too crowded, ambiance is not too bad, never had trouble getting a table.

    No wait on a Sunday during lunchtime. You can order dim sum at the table, they do not have food carts. You can order dim sum, lunch specials and dishes. Lots to choose from. The dim sum ribs were really good and garlicky. The chicken sticky rice was really good. It was soft and very flavorful. Everything else was good. They have all the regular items at dim sum. Shrimp har gow, shu mai, chicken feet, football, rice rolls, etc. I didn't care for the zongzi. It was the Vietnamese style with the mung bean. They have a big dining room and private rooms. HAPPY DIMSUMING

    I would give this restaurant 3.5 stars for dim sum. I especially liked the bean curd wrap with pork. But I did not care for the shrimp har gaw or the shrimp rice roll. The har gow skin was too thick and the shrimp did not taste very fresh. The rice roll was fine but the shrimp filling was not fresh. All of the other dishes were fine. Service was good. Parking is no good; very small parking lot.

    Ambiance: fancy chair covers, many individual rooms, well-lit Service: this is pertaining to the dinner service. They changed our plates frequently even though they had a ktv party going outside and we were in one of the rooms. There was no gap in service the whole night, which I appreciated. Even teapots and hot water were replenished often. However, the food came slow (understandably because of the large party going on in the main banquet hall) Food: decent portion for a table of 12, were able to make substitutes on some of the dinner menu set to fit our needs. I particularly enjoyed the xo sauce stir fried geoduck, steamed fish, and roasted suckling pig. But overall, the food was pretty mid. For example, the veggies in the fried rice were too bitter, no different textural elements so it was very monotonous. The sea cucumber that accompanied the abalone was a little too firm. The fried scallops lacked flavor, though the scallops were gigantic. The walnut dessert with black sesame glutinous rice ball only had one ball per bowl, tasted watered down. Overall, for the price range, we got good ingredients, but more seasoning and additional textures would elevate the dishes better.

    We came here for a family dinner with a party of eight and ordered both king crab and geoduck. The seafood was impressively fresh and the portions generous. The king crab was flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the geoduck sashimi was clean, crunchy, and refreshing. Service was attentive and efficient throughout the meal, and for the quality of seafood, the pricing was very reasonable. Great experience overall -- would definitely return for another celebration or large gathering.

    Update review: one of my friend decided to still have his wedding at this place since I didn't mentioned bad thing about this restaurant except telling him to not leave anything at the restaurant before his wedding incase he lost them like ours. When the manager knew that he is my friend, he still remember us and he sent an apology through him to us and also gave us back our deposit money through my friend. The service and foods were not bad. The manager was nice, but for his response to the loss of our handmade wedding gifts damaged the relationship. If only he apologized and no other words, it'll be fine. But this is a lesson learned. I happened to be in charge of the decoration and needed to arrive early and met the manager there.. he apologized to my husband again, but for me, it's still a bit awkward. Lol. Oh well, things happened and I accepted and forgive.

    First time coming here for dim sum and it turned out to be pretty good. I wasn't expecting much as it wasn't packed with customers but I was pretty good overall. My friend was visiting from out of town and chose this restaurant based off something he read on the plane. He made a good choice on this restaurant. The bao's, hai gao and siu Mai's were all tasty and plump. Service was quick but the only downsize was no carts like traditional dim sum places that I'm used too. They do have pictures and you choose what you want if you can't read Chinese characters so it's good for foreigners. Everything was good and tasty. I'll be back with my out of town guests to enjoy.

    Ordered Shrimp and Pork Shiu Mai, Chu Zhou Fun Gor, Crispy Eggroll, Deep fried dumpling with mochi, egg custard tart, and Beef Chow Fun. The Shrimp and Pork Shiu Mai were a nice size and a different topping that might be pork floss instead of the usual roe that is on top of the shiu mai. The Chu Zhou Fun Gor were on the smaller side in terms of size, still quite flavorful with a slightly different mix of more seasoned vegetables inside. The Crispy Eggroll were petite, decorated nicely and still very hot and fresh inside. The Deep fried dumpling with mochi was served hot and had a nice sticky exterior to crunch into. The egg custard tarts were on the smaller side too but the egg part of the tart seemed to be more egg custard concentrated than other places. And the Beef Chow Fun was probably the best dish to end with, generous slices of beef inside this well-seasoned noodle dish, a great pick out of all of this. Service was fast, foot traffic through lunch was not very busy, but the two parking area are very tight on space and availability. Interior ambiance is loud, lots of chatter going on so it's easy to be drowned out by the voices around you. The tablecloths are more like table plastic, it's some sort of plastic sheet that they overlay, looks nice but a little weird at first sight. Overall, there are other greater options for dimsum, especially with their middling price, this was fine but there was a lot of room for improvement.

    Introduction: I first visited this establishment due to the recommendation from a friend of mine and ever since that visit, I've become one of their loyal customers. Food: Dim Sum Some of my favorite dim sum dishes at this establishment are as follows: Crystal osmanthus cake: The crystal osmanthus cake serves as a great palate cleanser and ending to the meal: it is a dessert that is light, cooling, and refreshing. The best part is the fact the restaurant doesn't skimp on the amount of osmanthus flower they put in the cake and as a result, with each bite, the patrons can fully taste the delicate sweetness and fragrance of the flower. Crispy fish ball: The fish ball is unique in the sense there is an inherent savoriness that's derived from the fish it's made from. The texture of the fish ball is bouncy which means the one making the fish ball has to beat/slap the fish paste repeatedly during the course of making the fish balls [it's a labor-intensive dish]. Pan-fried daikon cake: Unlike the usual pan-friend daikon cake that's served at other dim sum restaurants, the pan-fried daikon cakes at World Seafood Restaurant are refined in its flavors and taste; there is a cleanness to the daikon cakes overall as opposed to being either heavy or greasy. Cocktail bun with coconut filling: It's hard finding a good cocktail bun with coconut filling since very few places make it. I like the cocktail bun due to its texture resembling that of a brioche-bun and the coconut filling inside is delicately sweet and fragrant. Chinese herb with chicken feet: In terms of chicken feet, there are the red braised and herb variety; I prefer the latter between the two because I enjoy the taste and drinking the herbal soup afterwards for the sake of recovery after undergoing an intensive training session. Steamed lotus wrap sticky rice: Amongst all the steamed lotus wrap sticky rice I've tried at other dim-sum locations, the lotus wrap sticky rice at World Seafood Restaurant is the best. The size of the lotus wraps is just right: neither too big nor small. Due to the size of the wraps not being too big, the flavors from the ingredients are more concentrated as a result. In addition, all the ingredients inside are of good quality: one can taste the difference(s) as they're eating the lotus rice wraps. Ambiance: Upscale, spacious, classy Service: The staff is friendly, cordial, and accommodating Price: Reasonable

    If you went during dim sum hours, it's typically for restaurant to charge for seating fee. A lot of dim sum places have the seating fee, it's normal. However if you went for lunch or dinner, they don't charge seating fees.

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 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.

They went into the kitchen and when they came back they said they had already started cooking them. What coincidental timing! After 5-10 min they brought the two dishes anyway (!). Poor service and likely an outright lie. Why wait until after dessert to bring out two savory dishes? Based on anecdotes from friends it seems like service and food quality depends a lot on who they are serving.

I did enjoy the pork siumai and shrimp spring roll from the dim sum selection. I also tried the pineapple bun, but I expected it to be softer and more moist. The portion was also pretty small. I like that most of their drinks can be ordered unsweetened, but they only offer Sweet'N Low instead of Stevia or Splenda. I also recently tried the kung pao chicken and didn't enjoy it. The sauce didn't taste like traditional kung pao sauce, and the dish had very few vegetables and mostly onions.

We had a large party and split into two tables, each table had peanuts and tea, we also ordered our own bit with the same serve at the same time. We ordered our usual dishes such as corn soup, honey walnut shrimp, salt and pepper squid, sal and pepper pork chops, filet beef dish, hainan chicken and many more. The service seemed slow, the bad part is that our other table got all their dishes while we had none. It took a while before our first dish arrived which was honey walnut shrimp, it was good, a bit soggy but flavorful. We asked for rice and started eating, once most of the shrimp was gone the rest of the dishes came. They were delicious, they tasted great and had good portions. The pork chop was great fresh but soon started to get tough as it cooled. The fried squid had parts that were very seasoned and some bland. My sister in law ordered a seafood tofu dish that was the best one but we ate everything before I took a photo. We also shared dishes across the tables to try out our orders. I tried the fried crab but it had more garlic than crab! The restroom was the sad part, there was no toilet paper, and no paper towels. The women's restroom door was propped wide open as well. I had to call my sister to bring in napkins for me... Overall a great meal, we may come back if the occasion allows.

    So we came with a large group, It's taking a long time to…read moreget our food. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt because there were many decisions and lots of changes. It's has a dim sum vibe where food runners wear white button ups black pants and managers wear the same with a vest and badge. The service started out really slow but once the first dish came out everything else came out. We ordered family style and I didn't catch the name of any of the dishes but everything was Soo good

    Classic Hong Kong-style café in LA never disappoints Dinner specials starting from $9.50…read more My all-time favorite beef chow fun! The dinner specials even include Hong Kong milk tea, coffee, or lemon tea! Huge portions for only around ten bucks! Today during work, I suddenly craved Hong Kong café food So my friend and I ended up going back to this longtime Hong Kong-style café in Monterey Park. These old-school Hong Kong cafés really have a special charm. The vibe feels nostalgic and classic, but the food is still so good! The moment you walk in, you hear familiar Cantonese conversations all around you~ This time we ordered a huge table of food! And their dinner specials are seriously such a good deal right now They already include milk tea, coffee, or lemon tea. Let me start with my favorites The Hong Kong-style luncheon meat & egg sandwich was SO authentic! Toast filled with egg and luncheon meat, plus fries on the side -- instant happiness The club sandwich was also huge! Four big pieces with lots of filling, perfect for sharing with friends. My coworker said the baked pork chop spaghetti is always a safe choice. The tomato sauce is sweet and tangy, super appetizing, and the pork chop was really tender. For the mixed lo mein, we picked beef brisket and beef balls. That alkaline noodle texture feels so classic Cantonese. And the stir-fried beef chow fun had amazing wok hei!! This was everyone's favorite dish of the night -- we literally kept talking about ordering more. Definitely the MVP! Lastly, the eggplant & short rib clay pot completely surprised me! The eggplant was full of flavor, and even the bones of the short ribs tasted braised through. Sometimes after work, having a comforting meal like this with friends really washes away all the work stress

    JJ Hong Kong Cafe is one of the long-standing (20+ years) Hong Kong cafés in the San Gabriel Valley…read more(SGV) area with other places like Garden Cafe / Baccali Cafe / Sunday Bistro on Valley Blvd and Tasty Choice on San Gabriel Blvd. [Parking]: There are limited free designated parking spots for the café behind the building. Additional parking spots are available in the underground garage. [Atmosphere]: Upon entry, our party could smell a lingering cigarette odor. Eventually, my nose got used to it. The overall ambiance is not quite as modern as other Hong Kong cafés like HK Macau Bistro in San Gabriel or Hong Kong Cafe in Atlantic Times Square. One TV was playing America's Funniest Home Videos while another one at the bar was showing a NBA game. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Indo Fried Rice, Baked Pork Chop, Grilled Chicken Steak, and Beef Chow Fun. Our party actually did not order the correct chow fun on our first visit as it turned out to be a wet (aka saucy) chow fun. For the dry version, the correct order = Beef Chow Fun with Dark Soy Sauce. *** Indo Fried Rice ($13.75): S-tier flavor and definitely recommend this dish. Beef Chow Fun Black Bean Sauce ($16.20): It was basically a wet chow fun rather than a dry chow fun our party was expecting. The flavor was on point, but not as good as the dry version (aka dark soy sauce). Beef Chow Fun with Dark Soy Sauce ($16.20): This was the correct dry chow fun our party was looking for. Savory and delicious noodles, but tasted slightly greasy. Baked Pork Chop ($14.20): Very heavy on the tomato sauce with scrambled egg and cheese. The flavor profile was not bad at all. It had a solid portion and large enough to split into two smaller meals. *** A-tier or 4-star for the food especially Indo Fried Rice and Beef Chow Fun with Dark Soy Sauce (aka dry beef chow fun), but I had to bump down to 3-star due to the minor cigarette smell.

    We come here for the low price wonton noodles, steamed spareribs on steamed rice, and the beef rice…read morenoodle rolls. We also order their HK style lemon iced tea. It's pretty good here and they have complimentary refills! They're known for their rice noodle rolls here and you can order them, along with their small dim sum menu, all day long. The wonton noodles here were just $13.98! They come with 5 large wontons and vegetables over wonton noodles. I always recommend adding chili oil. The steamed spareribs on steamed rice have some bones, just like the ones you find at dim sum. But there's a lot of meat in the steamed rice bowl for a single person. Free parking in rear parking lot. Entrance at the front on Garvey Ave. They have 2 entrances in front now. Left door for to-go orders and right door for dine-in.

    Searched randomly in yelp and found this place and this was absolutely a great choice…read more Parking is at the back of the building which is shared with the other establishments. The staff are great, communication wise, it was a good service. They don't hover around your table. They let you eat in peace then check back every now and then. We ordered several dishes and each and every one of them were tasty. We came before lunch hour so not sure how busy this place gets. Are we going back? Absolutely! This is on my list to go especially for a weekend out.
