First time having dinner at the restaurant and we brought our family with us. We called ahead to reserve for 16 people and they were able to accommodate our party. I don't remember everything we ordered but we did get our usual fried pork, chow mein, and fried rice. We also tried the fried enoki mushrooms and that was amazing! Their service was good, very attentive and quick. They were friendly as well. We came on a Saturday evening and parking was tight as we arrived but they had space in their back lot.

My family and I decided to try this place for dim sum during the week because that's when it's cheaper ($5.29/plate). We had the ha gow, sui mai (both plump and good), taro root cakes (light), pork intestines, pork ribs on top of dough (eh), flat noodles with shrimp inside (good), sweet pork buns (good, but had better) and chicken feet (good, but had better). Food was decent for the price. We didn't order the popular roast pork nor duck that people were ordering next to the restaurant. Nice ambience with TV on the Chinese channel and another tuned to ESPN. Parking on the lot. We wouldn't return because there are other better dim sum places in the area. However, the price is right for decent dim sum.

If you're looking for a good dim sum place around Monterey Park, California, look no further. This place is the one! One of my uncles (who lived around Alhambra 20+ years) recommended that my dad and I try out this dim sum restaurant. I must say he has good taste! We ordered: - Shiu Mai with Shrimp Roe - Crispy Golden Cream Buns - Chicken Feet with Abalone Sauce - Steamed Shrimp Dumpling All of their foods are delicious! Made fresh to order and perfect taste, you don't even need soy sauce to eat with your dim sum. We both especially love the Crispy Golden Cream Buns, (nice warm buns, with egg pudding inside) our favorite! If you're looking for a delicious dim sum, I highly recommend trying this place. The parking may be kind of tough as this place looks busy but when you go inside, there are tables available. Plus, they have take outs as well.

My dad and grandma suggested me to try this restaurant. You can tell that it's an authentic Cantonese resturaunt by walking in and seeing all the Canto people. No need to speak English to the workers here. Ordered the lamb pot which my grandma recommended, delicious, savory, lamb and bean curd dish. My favorite would have to be the ma la gao or brown sugar cake. So fluffy, brown sugary, not too sweet ( you know that's the best Asian compliment) Next favorite is the beef tripe, texture crunchy and msg flavors. Ordered the shrimp rice roll, gai lan ( Chinese broccoli) and siu mai. Very cool to experience canton in LA, then u leave the city and you're back in America.

This review is for the duck which is sold at the side of yr restaurant. I have never actually been to the restaurant itself. The roasted duck here is probably one of the best ducks I have had compared to the other places around town (yes maybe even better than Sam Woo). The ducks here are super meaty and way less fatty. I can't recall the price for a whole duck because it's been a while since I got one but I think it's around $24? You want to go a bit earlier than dinner time because they may run out due to the dinner rush. They also sell other meats here which I would occasionally get the cha siu but I don't recommend it here because it's a bit more on the fattier side. Cash only and there is a parking lot out front but it is limited since it's not too big of a lot. I recommend this place and will always come back here for the duck to go!

My family has been dining at this restaurant for ages. Although my parents who used to live in Monterey Park have passed away and we do not come as often these days, the manager and the waiters who knew them still treat us like friends and make our dining experience extra special. This review is long overdue and is for their banquet style dinner. We were here to celebrate a birthday with three tables of ten to eleven people. It's on a Saturday night when there was a big 25 table wedding party going on. Even though it's extremely difficult to juggle a big party and then our small party, they did an excellent job: food came out at a good pace and was very tasty, and service was friendly and responsive! Price was also really reasonable with no corkage fees. They even provided many bottles of free soda. We had Combination BBQ and Cold Cut Platter, Stir-Fried Ribeye Steak with Mixed Mushrooms, Honey Walnut Prawns, Crab Meat with Fish Maw Soup, Braised Sea Cucumber and Mushrooms with Mustard Green, House Special Chicken, Braised Lobster with Chef's Special Sauce, Steamed Live Fish (Turbot), House Special Fried Rice, and Dessert (Red Bean Soup and Longevity Buns filled with Lotus Seed Paste). The ribeye steak with mixed mushrooms was delicious; honey walnut prawns were huge and fresh; the lobster was very big (probably around four pounds) and tasty; their chicken was outstanding (they have their own chicken farm with free range chickens); there was no bad dish at all. Food was plentiful and each table had leftovers. All these for $528 per table which is excellent value for the money!
