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 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.

I've passed by Mama Lu's on Garvey every day but had never actually stopped in. 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.

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!

The service was also very good and accommodating, especially since I came in with a party of 8. Here are my thoughts on the food: Spicy Beef Tripe - I actually really enjoyed this one. It was cold and had good flavors. (4/5) Shrimp Fried Rice - It was simple, but it was good. Nothing over the top, just a simple classic. (4/5) Pan Fried Dumpling - It was delicious, had good flavors, and was juicy. (4.5/5) Beef Udon - Another simple dish, but it was good. Nothing overly done, just a nice carb to have. (4/5) Beef Roll - Best thing they have for sure. Nice flavors and made perfectly. (5/5) Pan Fried Bao - Pretty good. It had juice inside, and the meat was tasty. (4.5/5) Popcorn Chicken - We got this one mild, and they basically didn't put any spice on it. TBH, it lacked flavor, and besides being pretty crispy, it definitely needed some spice. (3/5) Beef Noodle Soup - It was good and pretty traditional. (4/5) Overall, most of the food was good but not spectacular IMO. It's a solid place to eat if you're looking for pretty good food, and the price isn't too bad! Parking - Now this stings because this lot SUCKS. If you come during peak hours, just pray because it's a very popular lot with plenty of good restaurants, so it gets crowded. I ended up exiting and driving south to the first local street, where you can park and walk over.

An accidental find while looking for food at Atlantic Times Square in Monterey Park. Free parking…read morein covered parking structure was a bonus. My husband is from Hong Kong, and our family has visited several times, so the nostalgic ambiance immediately caught our attention. The décor recreates old-school Hong Kong street scenes, especially the late '60s through '90s vibe I remember from HK movies and TV. The antenna TVs and comic-style details are great touches. My only suggestion: add some first-generation brick/murder-weapon-style cordless phones. I know the creators of this place must know what I meant! I asked my husband what "正粉腸" means. He laughed and said I probably don't want to know. I've learned my lesson about being too curious about certain Cantonese words, so I'm going to reap the benefit of not knowing. The menu has only 199 items. We went with HK staples( ok all of them are staple items we just randomly picked a few): shrimp and beef fried rice, chicken fried rice noodles, Hainan chicken, and egg waffles. Everything was flavorful and authentic, with generous portions. Three of us ate, and the leftovers were enough for another meal. The Lemon Black Tea comes with unlimited refills, which we happily took advantage of. Service was efficient and very HK-style. We were seated immediately on a Sunday during lunch, and our food came out quickly once our order was taken. There's also self-check-in online and kiosks at the entrance. Overall, the food, portions, service, and especially the ambiance made this a memorable find. There are plenty of fusion options we haven't tried yet, so we'll have to come back and work our way through the other 190+ items.

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。
