    Beef chow fun, house special fried rice

    Great food! We had the beef chow fun (suggestion of the owner(?) and the house special fried rice, and both were great -- especially the chow fun. It was a last minute dinner choice because I only had a short break and needed to eat somewhere nearby. Food was quick and affordable for the portions, I was pleasantly surprised.

    The owner is chill and totally chats and laughs for a new York minute.

    I know it's not the most beautiful upkept restaurant bit it's certainly a great ma and pop place. The food is made fresh on thee spot, all there dishes are great and not heavy, because i get an upset stomach when i eat at fast food restaurants, who still does that anyway. the kun pow here is my favorite. The owner will come and chill and have a conversation while our food is being prepared. Please come by and support these good ol folks. They deserve it This is still a good chineese restaurant.

    My absolute favorite other than my Mom's wonton soup.

    A small, hidden, modest gem, that deserves much attention! I have been ordering take out from this restaurant for the past couple of months and I have yet to be disappointed. Made to order. Fresh, well prepared Chinese food. From the wor wonton soup, to the fried rice, to the cream cheese wontons...everything has been so delicious and hit the spot on the dot! Service has always been friendly and efficient. Price point and portion sizes are perfect for a very hungry one or for two to happily share.

We ordered the spicy braised noodle soup with spicy pickled vegetables on the side, xiao long bao, beef roll, and chili oil shrimp wontons. The spicy braised beef noodle soup was my favorite dish, noodle texture was bouncy and firm as well as that beef being extremely tender. The spicy mustards on the side were quite spicy and a perfect addition to the noodle soup. Xiao long bao was good, filled with a good amount of broth and it came out very quickly. The wrappers were great as none of them even hinted at breaking. Beef roll was good, it was crispy on the outside and the beef portion was good. I did wish they'd add a bit more cilantro and onions but that's a personal preference. Chili oil shrimp wontons were good and had some pork filling as well. Each piece was big and filling, I was only not a fan of the thick wrapper but it was delicious. Would recommend P P Pop, I see why there are so many recommendations to try this place. Will be definitely coming back.

Within next 15 minutes it was full and by the time we were leaving, there were about 15 people waiting outside to dine-in. Seemed like a very popular spot in the area. The menu had so many popular Taiwanese dishes. We started with the pop corn chicken that was super good. The XLB was decent too. I loved the shrimp fried rice. The most familiar TW dish, beef noodle soup, was also their best item. Loved the flavorful soup. The beef was so tender. Overall I really enjoyed all the dishes here. Dishes were served in short time. Staff members were attentive and provided good enough service. But when it got busy, they started to get little be disorganized. Still highly recommended for trying out the TW dishes.

    came in around 12pm on a Thursday, plenty of seats still open…read more 3 of us ordered hot and sour soup (酸辣湯), beef wraps (牛肉捲餅), juicy dumplings (小籠包), and singapore style vermicelli (星洲炒米粉)。 everything came pretty quick. sizes are big, compared to other places. hot and sour soup has lots of meat (maybe too much), and flavorful. beef wrap is large 2 wraps cut into 3 pieces each. more than 1/2 of the wrap is filled with well flavored roasted beef, the sweet sauce (甜麵醬) blends well with the beef. dumpling is surprisingly juicy, filled with soup inside (need to catch it with a spoon). the skin is not too thick neither. vermicelli is mom's favorite, it's a huge plate, we didn't make a dent. we have enough leftover for dinner for the 3 of us. total was less than $60.

After visiting…read moretheir second Monterey Park location previously and finding it just okay, I was curious if this original spot lived up to the constant lines and local hype. When you arrive, be sure to write your party size on the sign-in sheet to secure your spot--there often isn't staff at the door to assist, so you'll need to manage it yourself. We visited after a long day and only had to wait about 30 minutes. Overall, the food was pretty average--or "mid," as the kids say--and I didn't feel it lived up to the hype. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: * #26 Shanghai Style Chow Mein ($13.99): This was the standout. The noodles are thick, almost udon-style, and it's great comfort food. I would definitely come back just for this dish. * #1 XLB Juicy Pork Dumplings ($9.99): These were just okay. Not bad, but not great, and I'd likely choose somewhere else for dumplings next time. * #16 Spicy Wontons with Pork and Shrimp ($11.99): These didn't "wow" me, though I did enjoy the chili oil. I might order these again. * #62 French Style Beef Tenderloin ($17.99): The meat was very soft, but I've had better versions elsewhere, so this will be a skip for me in the future. * #83 House Special Fish Fillet ($15.99): It was very crispy with flaky fish, but the batter was quite heavy. It was enjoyable at first, but I got tired of it quickly. While the Shanghai Style Chow Mein is worth a revisit, nothing else stood out enough to make this a regular spot for us. It's a 3.5/5 experience, but I probably won't be back anytime soon.

Xiao Long Bao's flavor profile tasted more like steamed dumplings. Beef roll didn't taste as good as I remembered (probably because it had slightly less hoisin sauce), but it was still a good beef roll nonetheless. * Personally G4 Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon ($15.99) was a surprising discovery and an S-tier dish. Basically think of it as beef chow fun, but replace flat noodles with udon and add egg and bell pepper - excellent flavor profile. C3 Pan Fried Pork Bao (6 pieces - $13.00) were comparable to the ones from Kang Kang Food Court. 4.5 stars for the food with 4 items enough to feed 3 to 4 adults. I would say their noodle dishes like Beef Noodle Soup / Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon / Fujian Style Fried Vermicelli are slightly better than their dumpling dishes. Bump it up to 5-star for the excellent service. P.S. - There's another new location in Diamond Bar.

    Hong Kong Cafe (Atlantic) -- 5/5 9/10/26 -- 2:30 PM --…read moreMonterey Park, CA My God, I'm going to be 300 pounds by the time I get home. Hong Kong Cafe is located at Atlantic Times Square, a charming old-school cluster of shops and restaurants in Monterey Park. Free underground parking was especially appreciated on a roughly 97-degree September afternoon. Getting upstairs was slightly confusing because of construction and a closed escalator, but once we found the restaurant, things improved immediately. The facade is cool, but the interior is even better: spacious, clean, comfortable, with colorful illuminated Chinese and English signs. It has a wonderful classic Hong Kong café atmosphere that reminded me of the 1980s. The mellow Chinese music added greatly to the happy, relaxed vibe. I started with a lemon black tea--sweet, cold and exactly what I wanted on a brutally hot day. The XO sauce beef with udon noodles was excellent. The udon had a terrific pan-fried texture, and the beef had a slightly citrusy note that worked surprisingly well. Then came pure comfort food: the Hong Kong-style ham and egg pineapple bun. It's basically spam, lettuce, tomato, soft French-style scrambled egg and lightly lemony mayo inside a sweet pineapple bun. Nothing complicated, yet somehow the flavors worked beautifully together. It briefly transported me to a Hong Kong Island tea café near Sogo. I was already full. Naturally, I ordered dessert. The Ovaltine French toast was fantastic: thick, fluffy Chinese-style bread, golden outside, properly buttered, with Ovaltine and condensed milk inside. Cutting into it released the filling across the plate and into the cinnamon decoration. Rich, messy and memorable. I ate everything too quickly because it was that good. The large menu also offers plenty of Hong Kong comfort food, including chicken rice, Chinese-style egg and meat dishes, risotto-style dishes, several kinds of juk/congee and much more. Service was prompt, sincere and error-free. This could easily become my Monterey Park go-to for Hong Kong comfort food. Great food, great music, great atmosphere and well beyond my expectations. 5/5. Happily stuffed. 香港咖啡(Atlantic)-- 5/5 2026年9月10日 下午2:30 -- Monterey Park, CA 天啊,照這樣吃下去,我回家以前可能要胖到300磅了。 香港咖啡位於 Monterey Park 的 Atlantic Times Square。這裡有很多商店和餐廳,也有免費地下停車場。在接近97°F的炎熱下午,地下停車非常方便。 餐廳裡面乾淨、寬敞又舒服,有很多中英文彩色燈牌,很有傳統香港茶餐廳的感覺,也讓我想到1980年代的香港。店內播放輕鬆的中文音樂,氣氛非常愉快。 首先喝了檸檬紅茶,冰涼、香甜,在炎熱的天氣裡非常舒服。 XO醬牛肉炒烏冬很好吃。烏冬炒得很香,口感很好,牛肉的味道還帶一點淡淡的柑橘風味。 港式火腿蛋菠蘿包看起來很簡單,有火腿、生菜、番茄、嫩炒蛋和帶一點檸檬味的蛋黃醬,加上甜甜的菠蘿包,但整體搭配非常好吃,很有香港茶餐廳的味道。 雖然已經很飽,我還是點了阿華田西多士。厚厚的麵包外面煎得金黃,裡面有阿華田和煉奶,切開後餡料流到盤子上,非常香濃,也非常有滿足感。 菜單選擇很多,還有雞飯、中式蛋肉飯、粥和其他很多香港式家常美食。 服務快速、真誠,而且沒有出錯。 這裡很可能會成為我在 Monterey Park 想吃香港式 comfort food 時經常回來的地方。 食物好、音樂好、氣氛好,完全超出我的期待。5/5。
