    Very good and authentic dim sum, friendly service. Ordered a wide assortment of dishes for $60, and…read moreit was more than enough for two. It's quite good value for your money, not to mention the dim sum is delicious and big in portion too. The menu is in Chinese and English, so it's easy for anyone to order. Next time, I'll try their dine-in location to see how different that experience is, but this one's great for quick and easy takeout. We only had to wait 10 mins for all of our food. Highly recommend!

I usually don't prefer the room because the service is pretty slow. You can't wave down the server when you need something like as if you were outside. However, the upside is it's quiet in there since it's not shared in a rowdy room. The service waiters (red vest) were attentive, but the others barely speaks English and gets frustrated when asked for something. The lady who brought out our food slams the plates on the table and picked up the empty ones and threw it in her cart while it's next to me. Not sure about service but she seemed pissed. Walked away when we were trying to ask her something. Even if she didn't speak English, it's kind to say no English or I find you someone. We did the AYCE menu since it's a no brainer. It was $23 pp. The food was actually good and decent. I don't have a favorite but for AYCE DIM SUM is good price. Some items are limit to one pp. Overall, I'd come back. But this time maybe not have the pissed off lady. Having my food slammed and thrown is not very welcoming. I hope she changed or they can put her in the back!

    Ocean Bo is a staple in El Monte and has been around for many years. It's one of those places that…read morealways seems to have a loyal local following. During the day they serve dim sum, and at night they switch over to Cantonese seafood dishes. I've eaten here many times for dim sum. They offer both traditional sit down service and a takeout counter in the front if you're in a hurry. The dim sum is solid and definitely hits the spot. Since I live nearby, it's one of those convenient spots I find myself coming back to. This visit was for dinner. We ordered a fish dish that was pretty interesting (honestly not sure what the exact name was), an oyster omelet, and clams with basil. Everything was tasty and definitely made me go through a couple bowls of rice. One thing I always appreciate is that they still give complimentary dessert at the end of the meal. We got green bean soup and some ma lai gao, which was a nice way to finish dinner. Overall, Ocean Bo is one of those neighborhood gems that has stood the test of time. It may not be the trendiest restaurant around, but it's reliable, serves good Cantonese food, and keeps the locals coming back.

    I usually go to NBC Seafood because I love the cart experience, but this place had been on my list…read morefor awhile so finally decided to try it out. Parking was easy on a Sun afternoon. We arrive around 2pm and there was no wait. You order off a form and the food arrives quickly because they have most of it pre-made and ready for take out in the back. Here are my thoughts on the following: - har gow: decent and STUFFED with shrimp - siu mai: super juicy and probably the best siu mai I've ever had - shrimp rice roll: decent, nothing to write home about - ham sui gok (deep fried meat dumpling): good, but not as airy as I like them, but still good - soy sauce chow mein: super bland - egg tarts: one of them was perfect, the other two were too runny like they hadn't been set properly, but the custard was sweet and balanced perfectly with the flaky crust - egg yolk bun: my bf really liked these, but I thought the filling was a tad too grainy for my liking All in all, I was pretty impressed with Ocean Bo and would recommend.

    If you have a large group, this is absolutely the spot to go. They have great, massive tables that…read morefit everyone comfortably. We had 11 people in our party. The dim sum variety is incredible--there are plenty of amazing beef, chicken, pork, and seafood options to choose from, and the service from the moving carts is fantastic. A few highlights from our meal: Shumai: Big, juicy, and packed with flavor. 4 orders Ham Sui Gok: Served warm and crispy--absolutely best dipped in the red chili sauce and hot mustard. Lobster Special: 2 lobsters cooked perfectly in a delicious ginger sauce. Seafood Hotpot: We tried this for the first time, and the combination of abalone, fish, and tofu was amazing. Egg Custard Pastry: We always end our meal with the yellow egg custard pastry. It's so light and flaky. It's the perfect atmosphere to just sit back, talk, and keep the dishes coming. Atlantic Seafood is easily my #1 restaurant in Monterey Park.

Waiter 1: Asked for water and Jasmine tea; We got the tea only and waiter 1 never came by again Waiter 2: Let him know I wanted to order some noodles; Waiter mumbled something and never came back I really didn't want to leave a tip, but I thought about the push cart ladies and left one. Definitely not going back.

The dining room feels like a movie version of dim sum in the best way: high ceilings, chandeliers, big round tables full of families and friends, and carts moving through the room like a well-oiled machine. The servers are efficient, no-nonsense and don't have time for your indecision. So don't hesitate to wave them off if you're on the fence. More stuff will come around soon. And you can't really go wrong with the classics, from har gow to steamed pork buns. Solid spot for dim sum veterans and newbies alike. Also, don't let the line scare you. It moves fast.

We were in a back corner and couldn't see the show, but I think the shear volume was not appreciated. Both of my parents wear hearing aids and we couldn't carry any sort of conversation. Thankfully the banging of the cymbals wasn't until the later part of our meal. Outside of that, the food was pretty good and of course the service was accommodating for the face my niece and nephew have allergies. So they didn't complain about removing certain ingredients. I would go back for sure, but hopefully not on a night they have a banquet in the next room.

It was a bit of a pleasant surprise and immediately sets a comfortable tone. The service was quite impressive... extremely attentive, friendly, and quick. 8/10 for the food. 10/10 for the price point 10/10 for the service. The food was definitely solid for the price point. There were a few misses, but the dishes that landed were executed really well. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! Siu Mai 10/10 - Juicy, plump and perfectly executed. Definitely my favorite dish. Bean Curd Skin Roll in Abalone Sauce 9/10 - Flavorful with an excellent texture. The whole dish was well executed. Beef Chow Fun 8/10 - Solid and flavorful. The beef was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Yangzhou Fried Rice 8/10 - The rice was moist and the seasoning was spot on. Shrimp Egg 8/10 - Soft and well seasoned. Generously portioned with very plump shrimp. Pork Chop Spicy Salt 8/10 - Crispy and slightly salted. It has a really great texture to it. Salted Fish and Chicken with Eggplant 8/10 - Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Generous portions of chicken, salty fish and eggplant. Chicken Feet 7/10 - It was solid. Not the best, but definitely not bad. House Special Crispy Shrimp Rolls 5/10 - The flavor of the shrimp was okay, but the rolls were really greasy. There were three very small rolls, definitely not my cup of tea. Chili Wonton 3/10 - By far my least favorite dish. The wonton skin tasted very flour-y, and hardly had any filling. The filling was also very bland and the chili oil was very underwhelming. By the way, the tea is free (I know, free tea at a dim sum spot).

For dishes like the beef chow fun and steamed fish for about $14.88, making it super affordable for a large group meal. The food came out fresh and hot, and the menu had a lot of variety to choose from. The restaurant gets busy, on weekends but service moved pretty efficiently overall. A perk for this place is that they do have a parking garage, which made parking way less stressful compared to other busy dim sum spots in the area.

    Not the first time but very satisfied for our most recent visit here…read more It's been a while since we last ate here and we had family dinner as a party of 10, so we were given a private room with 3 hot pots. We had beef, lamb, and pork slices for hotpot which we ordered 5 each per order. We had two pots original and one spicy. The meat slices were very thin so cooking time wasn't long and we paired it with various sauces, so if you make a good sauce it'll be even better. The buffet selection definitely changed, there's more hot foods and they no longer have mini sausages. I do enjoy their char siu and their varieties. Staff were pretty attentive with making sure our tables are cleared and if we need more meat. Since we were in a private room, they still came by to check on us. Overall, I did enjoy this place and would come again! I think not everyone liked how thin the meat was sliced but I'm fine with it. Ice creams costs money as well.

    The quality of food here is sure going downhill. Although the price is affordable, the soup and…read moreother ready-to-eat items are not as good. The BBQ pork used to be good. This time, most of the pieces are fat and have no meat at all. But the service we received was great and attentive.
