The food was Hong Kong style and we ordered the typical sweet and sour pork, fish with veggies and a chicken clay pot .

We left with our tummies full and will for sure be back! Love love love

It has that "hole in the wall" vibe, but the dining area has nice ambience and it wasn't overwhelmingly busy. We ordered the beef and broccoli (with rice) and the chicken chow fun. Both were delicious, flavorful, and came in huge portions -- we even had leftovers. Our total was about $35 before tip, which is amazing for the quality. Highly recommend this spot. It deserves a line out the door, but for now it's our little secret. We'll definitely be back!

I recently noticed that Delicious Food Corner in Monterey Park has an all-day special menu for…read more$12.99, and I think it's a pretty good deal. There are 24 different dishes to choose from, so you're not stuck with just a few basic options. I also like that it's available all day instead of only during the usual lunch special hours. For $12.99, especially with restaurant prices these days, I really can't complain. You get plenty of choices and can come back and try something different each time. One thing to know--the special is dine-in only. Overall, I think it's a great value if you're looking for a simple, affordable meal in Monterey Park. Definitely something I would order again.

In the SGv there are so many great places to go if you want to have a fantastic Chinese/Hong…read moreKong/Taiwanese breakfast. Dim sum is always a win, but there's something really hearty and classic about a good Hong Kong style breakfast. Though Delicious Food Corner is one of many in a chain, this specific location in Montebello is hands down one of the best Hong Kong breakfasts I've ever had. It's a meal I continue to return to, even if I've had the same dish multiple times. Let me tell you about it. Firstly, the advice I'd give you is try to come here before 11:30 AM. Once that time hits the line will start forming and this small restaurant will unfortunately have you wait while you smell all the delicious food this place has to offer. I, for one, hate waiting, especially when I know how delicious the meal will be so I try to arrive before the morning/afternoon rush begins. When you arrive you have to try the Hong Kong breakfast combo. It comes with eggs, hash brown, toast, and your choice of protein. Though the chicken steak is a classic and popular choice, I go for the pork chop. They are two perfectly fried pork chops coming with a crispy panko exterior that is light with almost no oily residue or flavor. The crunch of the panko is a symphonic melody accompanying the savory flavors with each bite. Pair it with a jammy, buttery toast and you have a perfect combo of sweet and savory. Their dim sum selection isn't extensive but comes with all the classics like shumai, har gow, char siu buns, pineapple buns, and rice noodles with beef. All of them come fresh and somehow taste even better when accompanied with their unlimited milk tea or iced lemon tea. Simple cuisine elevated and executed masterfully. Whenever I'm in the SGV area and I want Hong Kong breakfast this is the place I think of every time. Though I've only started coming here in the past three months I'll never say no to eating at Delicious Food Corner when invited. Invite me out!

They have a new menu and we ordered the Minced Pork & Egg Rice. This is the non-gravy/sauce version like some local restaurants are starting to do. Break the runny egg yolk and mix everything together. It was pretty good. We also ordered the pan fried turnip cake which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's better than many dim sum restaurant versions. Also got their beef rice roll again. Their rice rolls are always a hit. Don't forget to order their HK lemon iced tea on the side. It pairs well with everything especially on a hot summer day. Good air conditioning. Lots of indoor seating. Great service. Highly recommend!

Vic & Jeff YouTube A Day In videos came through again with another great restaurant recommendation…read morefor Hong Coffee & Bakery. Thanks V & J! They are located next to the Jade Plaza on Garvey Ave in Monterey Park. I parked in the plaza's parking lot, but I'm not 100% sure if they truly are part of the plaza. They may not be. Please read signages. Limited street parking. Upon entry, the lady behind the counter was attending to another customer. When it was my turn, she took my order quickly. She seemed friendly, but not the most smiliest. They are known for their Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup so I got one of them. I saw Preserved Egg with Shredded Pork Congee so I had to get it, too. Lastly, I noticed another customer with an order of Black Sesame Paste... must get an order of that because I love black sesame. I decided to dine-in instead of take-out. This place isn't huge at all. It's a mom and pop whole in the wall very casual establishment with about 4 tables and some chairs. Definitely not a spot for large parties. Now to the food... Shrimp wonton noodles was quite authentic and deliciously good. Broth was light and clean without the msg flavor. Noodles were crisp and had a bouncy texture to it. WOW, wontons were the best! Good amount of quality pork and shrimp filling that was quite flavorfully seasoned. Loved it! Definitely recommend to all wonton egg noodle connoisseurs! Just one itty bitty gripe, portion was small for the price of almost $12. I felt I only got a few good bites from the bowl. I would still get it again though. I'm a sucker for great eats regardless of price LOL. Congee with tasty shredded pork and slightly salted preserved eggs was warm and savory with a soft silky texture and mild comforting flavor. I haven't had such an authentic congee in such a very long time. This is must get every time! It was worth the almost $10. I should have ordered one to-go... for sure next time. For the black sesame paste, this one was a bit of a disappointment. It was cold and not hot. Liquid was very thin. I'm used to thick black sesame. Taste was horrible. It was like eating expired black sesame grains. Did not like it at all. Will not get again. I almost tossed the whole thing away, but ended up adding some pre-packaged flavorful black sesame paste I had at my home pantry to thicken it. Afterwards, it tasted more decent like black sesame should taste. Will I be back? Yes, I'll be back for the wonton noodles and congee plus to try their other authentic Chinese dishes. They sell frozen wontons and dumplings, too. I will have to buy a bag or two of them next time. Thanks Hong Coffee & Bakery!

There's a $350 minimum for a private room. They were really accommodating when I pre-reserved a room about two weeks in advance. They also put our cake in the fridge and cut it at no cost. The food here is absolutely solid. They know exactly what to do if you want a large group meal. They have set menus, but I just ordered all things that we like to eat. Extra shoutout for the cucumbers. The way they do they is truly deeeeelicious. I would reserve a room in advance. They told me there's no need to preorder the banquet menu as well, if you want an easy, set last minute big meal!

Parking is a bit chaotic as it is in the same parking lot as Holiday Inn- we opted to park outside instead. They do validate for parking but I am not sure how strict their enforcement policy is. I appreciate how their fried rice is a little different - with some corn and purple rice. Overall, I would say this is decent for El Monte dim sum, but I would prefer the push cart style of SGV.

Parking 5/5 -Big free parking lot…read more Service 5/5 -We were seated right away and staff was professional, efficient and friendly. Restaurant was not busy at the time, our food came out pretty quickly. At the end of the meal, they offered to help pack our leftover food along with sauce, superior service. Food 5/5 -Deep fried salted pig feet, this is a MUST get. I cannot emphasize enough how well executed this dish was, the pig feet came deboned. Skin was thin, crispy but still had a delicate layer of gelatinous fat under that's so addicting and great pairing with the complimentary pot of white rice. The meat was so tender and flavorful, the seasoning is not overwhelming but tasteful enough that keeps you wanting to go back for more. Great portion for sharing, however you may not want to share and just keep it all for yourself. -Salted fish and garlic chicken fried rice, rice was fragrant with the delicate saltiness from the dry aged salted fish. The dish is a combination of fine bits and pieces of fish, chicken and notable amount of ginger. I'm usually not a fan of ginger but I actually liked it for this dish, brought a comfortable level of sharpness to it. But if you really hate ginger, you might want to avoid as they're really fine pieces and would be impossible to avoid. -Sliced beef with Chinese broccoli, beef was tender and full of the wok flame flavor, vegetables were fresh and crunchy, no notes. Ambiance 5/5 -Restaurant was super quiet, I really liked how calm it was in there. Mostly comfortable booths around the perimeter and tables were all separated by clear dividers. My favorite was the bathroom's decor, it felt like an early 90s metal/futuristic ocean theme.

I've been wanting to try this place for quite a while, and we finally made it there for dinner…read more Someone had recommended coming for lunch, but unfortunately we didn't make it for lunch. Let's start with the lobster. They have about 45 different ways you can have it prepared. We went with the traditional style without the noodles. We just couldn't justify paying another $20 for noodles, and honestly, I don't think we missed much. The lobster had plenty of flavor, but compared with other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried, it wasn't nearly as flavorful as I expected. Considering we paid around $180-$200 for the lobster alone, that was a bit disappointing. We also ordered the Vietnamese-style fish with black pepper. The fish was good, but again, not as good as other Vietnamese restaurants we've been to. We wanted to try the pea shoots, but they told us they were seasonal, so we ordered the garlic string beans instead. They were good and nicely garlicky, but nothing that made me say, "Wow!" The standout for me was the French-style filet mignon. It was cooked almost medium-rare, with lots of onions, and the flavor was really good. That dish came closest to earning five stars for me, although the portion was smaller than I expected. Our total bill was around $380, so for that price, I was expecting something much more exceptional. Service was fine. They changed our plates and took care of the little details, and luckily it wasn't very busy when we went. I've seen pictures of lines out the door, so I honestly don't know if we caught it on an off night or what the hype is about. Was it bad? No. Was it good? Yes. Was it wonderful or better than the other Vietnamese lobster restaurants I've tried? Unfortunately, no. I'm glad we finally tried it because I had been curious for a long time, but would I come back? Most likely not. For all the hype and the price, I was expecting a lot more. I'm giving it 3 stars--good food, but not the amazing experience I was expecting from one of the top-rated lobster spots in the San Gabriel Valley. Parking is good.
