The service was quick and interactions were nice. There are about 4 tables. Everything was clean and tidy. We ordered the wanton noodle soup with egg noodles and the dumpling soup. The soup was nice, clean, and light. The veggies were perfect: bright green and a bit crisp, not over done. The wantons and noodles were tasty. The dumplings were very nice. Both had thin wrappers, full of shrimp, and so tasty with the chili sauce. We would definitely return. Next time we will be buying some frozen dumplings and wantons to take home. read more

Vic & Jeff YouTube A Day In videos came through again with another great restaurant recommendation for 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! read more

Got my go to frozen wontons, picked up extra side dishes like curry and they sold noodles here. Dinner for day-check! P.S. Thank you for asking if I knew how to cook wontons, explaining it to me but more importantly, pointing to the directions on the bag! The noodles came with instructions but it was on the counter and I took a photo read more

Big fan of the wonton noodle soup here. I would come more if I lived closer. The couple that owns the shop knows that they have a good product on their hands, because they sell the wonton in bulk for you to freeze and cook up whenever the whim strikes at home. Owner even recognized me the second or third time I came here, I was pretty impressed! Very no-frills, Mom-and-Pop shop. Just come in, order at the cash register, and they bring out the food to you. Two thumbs up. read more

The good: Vietnamese coffee is actually delicious and spot on. Tripe, very good flavor and 80% tender. The sauces were spot on. Free wifi! The okay: the chicken had a lot of broken bones in it and the meat was chewy. 20 % of the tripe was chewy and hard to eat. Not very good ambiance. The shop was more for to-go Over priced for the experience read more

Charming old school looking Hong Kong style cafe food. Got the Hainan chicken, filet mignon rice plate, and the shrimp wonton noodle soup to go. When you say spicy for the filet mignon they make it spicy! Super delicious and tender. Next time I will try the congee, which seems the most popular. read more

Stopped by on our way back from Vegas because it was on YouTubers Vic and Jeff's top 10 restaurants of 2025 and we could see why! A true, hole in the wall joint that could be easily missed if you aren't looking carefully. We ordered the Hainan chicken and filet mignion and both were soooo tasty. We also ordered the Hainan rice (not pictured) which also was one of the tastiest servings of rice that I've had in a while! There's just something so special about Hainan rice that makes me want to order a bowl and just have rice and soy sauce. But I digress. I would note that the servings are a little on the smaller side, even so, the prices are great and service is friendly. It's more of a take out spot but they have tables if you want to enjoy your meal there as well. read more

Food is hit or miss depending on what you get. Some stuff is okay, but the Black Pepper Beef w/ Rice is delicious. Basically, my favorite or go to. A lot of customers seem to order Hainan Chicken Rice. Maybe I'll try that next time. Recommend ordering for takeout. The place kinda smells inside. Sorry to say that, but just being honest. There are a few tables for dine-in. Interior isn't very spacious. Seems like a hard working husband and wife team. FOOD: Stir Fried Filet Mignon with White Rice 5/5 $15.95. Happy with it. Fresh and tasty. Came with pickled veggies. Beef Stew Lo Mein 4/5 Wanted to like this dish, but it was okay for me. Wonton soup 4/5 Kinda was hoping this would be good. Average imo. Looking for a replacement of another restaurant that I usually get my Wonton Soup from. Didn't like the service & experience from that place, so looking for a new joint as replacement. Curry Fish Balls 4/5 $10.95. Interesting texture (different than other curry fish balls I have elsewhere). Curry flavor is fine. Bf likes it with the white rice. Preserve Egg & Shredded Pork Congee 4/5 $9.95. It was alright imo. Edible, but have better elsewhere. Vegetable with Oyster Sauce 4/5 It's fine. Just wanted some more vegetables to go with the dish. DRINKS: Vietnamese Iced Coffee 4.5/5 Kinda like it. Other place have it strong and bitter or too sweet. This places have it just right (to my taste) & price is right as well. Would reorder. $4.95 read more

Lately I think food here has not been too good. The Frozen food seems fine but the beef brisket is tougher now that the price is at $15+ now instead $17. I tried the beef brisket this time but I have tasted better ones from other places like The Congee. When I call in to order a lady answers and always suggests additional items like pork rigg 豬皮 or 牛筋 tendons。But they didn't do a good job on them. Also the lady at the counter is quite impatient when it comes to me trying to use the machine for payment. I missed the male owner that used to be here; he was more customer friendly. Now I don't feel motivated to order food from this place as it seems unfriendly. read more

Hong Coffee & Bakery - Beef brisket 柱侯牛腩 - Cantonese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Hong Coffee and Bakery serves 5 kinds of food here: congee, noodle soups (with dumplings), rice dishes (limited selection), desserts, and rice dumplings (粽子). Rice dishes here are limited to Hainanese Chicken Rice and Stir-Fried Filet Mignon with Rice. The former seems popular with Hong's patrons based on the reviews. The dish is a 2.5-star for me. As a big fan of Hainanese Chicken Rice, I have very high standards for this dish. It didn't work for me because the rice is dry and not fragrant. The chicken could use a bit more flavor. As a fan of the Singaporean/Malaysian style Hainanese Chicken Rice (yes, there are different styles of the dish, even though it's called Hainanese Chicken Rice), the sauces that come with the dish, especially the chili sauce, are essential. Regretfully, Hong's Chicken Rice didn't come with a good chili sauce, although the ginger-scallion sauce isn't bad. So what makes this place awesome? Their dumplings - 4.5/5. While the dumplings aren't the best I have had, they are well wrapped, retain their fillings, and maintain a good texture. I love that there is a succulent, juicy shrimp piece inside each of their dumplings, which gives the dumpling the needed texture to balance out the pork fillings. The dumplings come in 2 variants: wontons (雲吞) and shrimp dumplings (水餃). I prefer the latter at Hong's. Overall, the dumplings taste flavorful and have a good texture. Here's a tip: get their frozen dumplings so that you can make delicious, quality dumpling noodle soup at home. As of this writing, a bag of 50 frozen dumplings costs $30. That's 60 cents per plump, juicy dumpling you can eat anytime at home. Their Noodle soup dishes are on average 4/5. Their noodles are good, nothing special. The noodles are cooked al dente. The soup is clear and tastes good. I usually have the braised beef with dumplings noodle soup, it was good, but nothing special. I wish their beef were more tender.  Congee is good at Hong's. After all, the restaurant's Chinese name (豐衣粥食) indicates that the restaurant specializes in congee. Rice dumplings (粽子) are okay and are available only to-go. Desserts are good. Hong Kong-style milk tea is a must-have. read more

Hong Coffee & Bakery - Wonton and Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Cantonese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I love finding new mom and pop stores that serve comfort food. A close friend mentioned Hong Coffee and Bakery and recommended we try their wonton noodles. The wontons were good and loved that they used a whole shrimp which is rare here in LA. We also ordered a beef and fish ball rice noodle which was also tasty. Both the beef and fish balls had a nice bite to them but preferred the wontons. As this was our first time dining here, we also ordered a few items to take home. Hainan chicken rice was decent as they are generous with the chicken. However, I think the Hainan rice at Golden delight is a bit more fragrant. The only real objection is with the hot sauce they provide. There's nothing wrong just not what is usually used with Hainan chicken and rice. Also tried the black pepper beef and that was a definite miss in my opinion. Have yet to try their zhong but they are decently sized. read more

Discovered this mom & pop shop from Vic&Jeff and it did not disappoint! My husband and I are huge fans of them so we try to go wherever they go. We came here for lunch - he got wonton noodle soup, and I got the Hainan chicken rice. The wonton skin was silky and the meat inside had a nice bouncing texture to it. Their soup was HEALING! Hainan chicken was a bit on the pink side (where the bone is) because it's just the type of chicken. Their dipping sauce paired very nicely with the chicken. Rice can be better though, it tasted like a day old rice so on the harder side. But flavor was there. They have frozen wontons for sale! We will come back with our ice chest! read more

Delish!! Found this place from YouTube and will for sure be back. I got the Stir Fried Filet Mignon with Wnite Rice and it was so flavorful!! My mom got the chicken and it wasn't her cup of tea. Small place, nothing fancy but very clean and great customer service read more

Amazing wontons!!! I like that the wontons were made with shrimps & pork. Some places only make it with chunks of shrimps. The wontons here were so good. Even the broth was yummy. I noticed that they have Hainan chicken as well. I will try it next time. I ordered for pick up. Phone service was great. Pretty friendly. Street parkings Will order from here again. read more

Homestyle comfort food is served at Hong Cafe and Bakery. Upon entering this very tiny shop, there was no one at the counter. A couple of minutes later a very nice lady emerged from the back and took my order. It took about 15 minutes for me to-go order. Waiting for food cooked to order is never a problem. In fact it is a good sign. I ordered chicken jook (porridge) and won ton soup (no noodles). Chicken jook (5/5) this is a very simple dish that was flavorful and like a warm hug. Normally I add shoyu or picked veggies for flavor. But not with this jook. It was perfect as is. Won ton soup (4/5) was yummy. The won ton were large, filled with ample pork and chunks of shrimp. The soup tasted flavorful and spot on. The food was packaged very well and ample. Prices are good too! I was very happy with the dishes and would definitely return.

I found this place through a Yelp search when looking for a lunch spot to try for noodles on a chilly day. So when looking at the reviews and photos, we decided to try Hong Coffee and Bakery. From the photos, we saw that it looked like a pick up and go spot. So we decided to pick it up and eat at home. We each got a different noodle soup and we also got the black pepper filet mignon plate to share. For our noodle soups, we got the shrimp wonton, beef noodle and the beef and wonton noodle soup. They use the same broth for all their soups. The broth is very tasty and it isn't too oily. You can use your noodle, but we all chose egg noodles for our soup. The portion is a nice portion where it's filling but you don't have leftovers. We also liked that they use bok choy for their vegetable. For the wonton noodle soup, I got 3 wontons and bok choy so it was pretty hearty. The beef noodle soup had lots of beef. The black pepper filet mignon was very tasty and a good portion. It's a small place with a couple of tables inside. But it's mostly a pick up and go spot. However, a few people that ordered at the same time as us, got it and ate it there. The service was good. We'll be going back to try some other items on their menu. read more

I'm so glad I decided to come here. Parking shouldn't be an issue as I think the large parking lot to the right of the restaurant might be for them also. Though bakery is in the name, they offer more food than baked goods. I ordered the wonton noodle soup, tripe, Hainam Chicken, pandan tofu & zongzi. The wonton noodle soup is probably one of the best I've had in the SGV. The broth is flavorful and the wonton was marinated well. Though, I think I only got 4 pieces. They also sell frozen wontons you can take home. Next time I come back, I will definitely buy one of those bags. Even though I drove 1.5 hours home, even heating the broth and wonton noodles up in the microwave, it was still pretty good. I've had this dish at other places and it's always either the wonton is under seasoned or the broth was under seasoned. But not here. The best part is that it wasn't salty. The tripe was about $16, which is pretty high in my book. When I asked the cashier how much you get, she said that the whole containers worth. But it ended up being about half of it. If I would have received a bit more, then $16 would have been justified. Anyways, the tripe was flavorful and very tender. Though it's not red in color like at those Dim Sum places, it's still very good. I would definitely buy this again despite the price tag. The Hainam chicken was just ok in my book. They ran out of Chicken rice, so I asked them to sub regular white rice. The chicken still has bones in it and not as tender and juicy as Savoy Kitchen. Savoy also has better sauces. Don't get me wrong, the chicken here is not dry or anything, it's just missing something. Also ordered some of the zongzhi's to go. But at $8 each, that's pretty hefty. Especially since the bakery next door, they sell theirs for $5, although it is a little bit smaller. Anyways, the zongzhi didn't have much flavor to it and it was on the drier side. I would not recommend this here. Overall, I will still come back for their wonton, porridge and tripe. Maybe next time I will grab some of their frozen wontons to take home to add to my ramen or something. They do accept credit cards/Apple Pay for those of you wondering. There are no public restrooms here. read more

The service is very friendly and accommodating (I did not want green onions and they proactively the asked if I wanted Cilantro which I thankfully declined and they asked if I wanted vegetables which I did want) with customer care. I ordered the plain shrimp and pork won ton soup. It was really perfect in size and the shrimp to pork ratio is massively pure shrimp whole giant prawns not minced or with any fillers. Top quality. A bowl of won ton comes with 8 pieces in the soup. Parking is easy or was easy ok a weekday mid-day noon lunchtime There is street parking as close as front door service proximity for the disabled and along the parallel businesses as well as adjacent residential streets for non-metered parking read more

Ambiance: ordered takeout so I can't speak on the interior design Service: lady who took my order was kind while taking my order, read it back, all of our orders were correct Food: As someone who eats hong kong style food often, the noodles are authentic. Great texture of slight chew and bite to the noodles, beautiful honey comb tripe, and bouncy shrimp in the wonton. I do believe it's decently portioned for the price, I even had leftover noodle and was full. I didn't really taste the sauce come through for the lo mein, but I prefer it being like this than doused in oyster sauce. Surprised that the lo mein came with soup, but I think it taste more like bouillon than actual chicken stock. Overall, authentic hong kong food that is filling, and decently priced. read more

I have been meaning to try their hainan chicken. I finally get to get it to-go to try out with friends. I called a couple minutes ahead for pickup for dinner. I should have called it in earlier. They said that there will be a wait as a few people called in their order and they have 1 chef. The front lady kept me updated on the status of the order. There are 2 tables inside and there were some dine in customers. The hainan chicken was pretty good with good taste + texture and on the redder side (cooked!) . It costed around $30 with tax. It came with a small sweet soy sauce and 2 ginger oil sauce. Both make the chicken taste good. read more

I have been picking up Hainan Chicken here for almost a year. The first time was excellent. Chicken was perfectly cooked, plump and juicy; rice was flavorful as were the two sauces; and the pickled vegetables were crunchy and tasty. Got fresh tofu dessert and it was very delicious. There's always a bit of a wait, but I don't mind. However, the most recent time I picked up Hainan Chicken, it was very disappointing. The chicken was so thin and there was barely any meat, it was all bones. I haven't tried their wonton noodles so I may try that next time, but not sure if I will get the Hainan Chicken again. read more

Wonton noodle soup is a dish found in many places in SGV. Cafes and restaurants that sell these are a dime a dozen. However, this little mom-and-pop hole-in-the-wall deserves to be recognized more for their outstanding wontons and noodles. The noodles are something special - they're fresh and not frozen at all, and are cooked to perfection. The wontons have excellent filling and plenty of flavor. The soup itself is simple but very flavorful. The Chinese couple that run the place are great and friendly. Being such a small shop with excellent food, I highly encourage people to try this place out for wonton noodles! I'll be sure to come back and try their other foods! read more

They make solid, delicious noodle soups. The beef stew was so flavorful and tender. It'll remind you of sitting down for a bowl of it in Hong Kong but better quality ingredients. You can choose between 3 types of noodles in the noodle soup (flat rice noodle, vermicelli and egg noodle/mein). Their mein is fresh and imported from Hong Kong. The crispness in each bite is so perfect. You know if you know. The owner said the mein doesn't actually contain egg so it has a better shelf life than traditional fresh egg noodles. I wouldn't have known the difference because does have that traditional yellow color. He said it comes from the bicarbonate potassium in the noodle's recipe. They also sell packets of the raw noodles for $9 per pack. We got a pack of those and some frozen wontons (50 pieces for $28 as of May 2025)--my family has already put most of them away into their bellies. The restaurant also makes their own cold herbal tea (liang cha) and it was really good, too. Reminds me of the tea my parents made for me to drink cold as a kid--not too sweet--my ultimate compliment for them on a sweet product. I'd skip the tofu-based desserts though. They look good but other places do them better. This will be our new spot for my mom's cravings for wonton noodle soup. The food is served in takeout containers even if you dine in so it's got a casual vibe. They've got a few tables inside that can accommodate groups of 2-4. I hope this restaurant will thrive and stick around. Neighborhood gems for Cantonese food of this quality have been difficult to come by even in the SGV. read more

An absolute favorite of mine is their wontons so I would buy a bag of their frozen ones and have them whenever I want at home. They are generous with the stuffing- there's a huge shrimp in there. I love the one with the black fungus. 50 pieces for $31. Their filet mignon is pretty good as well. read more

Very good wonton noodle soup here. The noodles are al dente and the soup has great flavor without tasting too salty. The wontons here are some of the best I've had in SGV with a good amount of pork/shrimp in the filling and the filling achieves the right flavors. These wontons also taste very similar to the ones from Sam Woo which in my opinion has been the best place for wontons in SGV for many, many years. read more

Such a cute eatery. I went with my 80 something year old mom and got the shrimp and pork wonton soup, the black pepper filet mignon and their dessert tofu custards. The food was really yummy! The biggest compliment I can pay here is just to say that my brutally honest elderly mom liked it and wants to go back. This doesn't happen often. The chef and owner checked in to make sure we enjoyed our meal. Yes, we really did. Thank you! Be back again soon!! The surprise highlight? The tofu custard is amazing. It's so creamy and rich and then you get a hint of that sweet ginger read more

A HK café with an "A" cleanliness rating. How about that? And it's also delicious! A true mom and pop (I saw them both) place with comforting well made food. Had the wonton and they were juicy and good and also the congee which was also solid. I get what another person is saying about the "mom's" vibe . . .also she put on a mask when we entered the place but I'd rather someone who is making me food be a little OCD about germs! I wished there was the 油條 /fried donut to go with the congee, but I suspect the owners don't want to fry anything b/c of the mess it makes lol. BYB donut? read more

Hong Coffee & Bakery looks like a coffee shop with just a few tables and nice curtains, but you really need to come here for the wonton noodle soup. Next time, I'll have to check out the Hainan chicken and some of the desserts. Also, thanks to Cindy S for the great recommendation! Wonton & Beef Stew Noodle Soup: The soup is not your typical wonton soup. It's rich and full of flavor. I suspect it borrows from the Hainan chicken broth or used it outright. The wontons are on the small side, but the pork and shrimp are really juicy and tender. The stewed beef brisket deserves top marks. The beef chunks and tendons are perfectly succulent, tender throughout, without turning to mush. Beef Stew with Wonton Lo Mein: I've never had wonton without soup. This dish is a deconstruction. The soup is in a separate bowl with the same beef and wontons. Lo mein is chewier than your average noodle. The spoonfuls of oyster sauce in the noodles are savory and packed with umami goodness. Ordering: Order at the counter, and then they'll bring the food to your table. Parking: There's some street parking in front. read more

One of the BEST wonton noodle soup I have had in a while in LA. Wontons here are bite size mix of shrimp and pork that are so juicy and plump. Perfect ratio and size. The broth for soup is very flavorful and clean without being fishy. Noodles are bouncy and chewy. Worth a mention: the Stewed beef with Tripe Lo-Mein is delicious! I absolutely love Hong Coffee and Bakery (that's how they spell the business name). Definitely looking forward to trying more dishes in the future. It's a humble storefront serving Cantonese comfort food and they know what they are doing! It's mostly set-up for takeout; if you dine-in, there are a few tables and the food are served in takeout containers; again the food is fantastic here.

After doing some researching and sampling of wonton noodle soups around the SGV, this spot is my number one. Noodles cooked to my preference of bouncy and chewiness and the broth itself is flavorful before the addition of chili oil and white pepper. Wontons themselves are really good, with a nice balance of pork and shrimp. The portion size is plentiful for the price and I even opted for the extra wontons as well. We also tried the stir fried filet mignon and that was a surprising dish and the flavor on the beef was amazing. Definitely will be back. Place is rather tiny though, with only a few tables. read more

This hole in the wall mom & pop place is the closest thing you could get the real Hong Kong style wontons and noodles from.

As a long time denizen of the SGV, I've had my share of HK-style Cantonese noodle soups. I've had them with (and without) char siu; I've had them with (and without) wontons. I've even had them with both char siu AND with wontons. In all versions, there's always a stalk of gai lan, or chinese brocolli. That said, I've never been a huge fan of these noodles that are so ubiquitous in the SGV. Every time I've ordered this dish, I've always felt the broth had this, what I like to call, funk. The broths always had this one little hiccup to ultimate enjoyment. It's not a bad funk, like walking into a gym after wrestling practice, but more like a speed bump to tastiness. The broth here is full speed tasty all the way. It's so nicely flavored and -- to me -- smooth. Some other reviewers mentioned that it's because they also make Hainan chicken here. Regardless of the reason why their broth is so delicious, this soup will make anything that swims around in it taste better-- noodles, dumplings, or wontons (no char siu here) this broth even livens up the gai lan. Most of the time I don't even bother with the soup, but I'd happily drink this soup on its own. The dumplings and wontons are no slouches either. They are perfectly seasoned and the flavor's well balanced. Someone obviously knows what they're doing back in the kitchen. (The dumplings are available for sale as well) The other thing we appreciate about their noodles were the noodles themselves. Usually, the egg noods are clumped up into a carbo-loaded yarn ball. These noodles broke apart with little coaxing (and we got our to-go) The non-noodle dish we ordered was the filet mignon cubes. They were well-seasoned and very tender, but just a small caveat-- they are stir-fried with jalapeños so they will have a noticeable kick. The filet mignon plate includes steamed white rice and Chinese style pickled cabbage. This mom and pop restaurant on the north side of Garvey is small. Definitely not suited for groups. Most orders, like ours, were to-go. This hole in the wall doesn't not have its own lot. Parking is on the street. The folks who run this low key hidden gem are also super nice. There are also Chinese desserts in their refrigerated display case. We didn't try any. Their noodle soups might be all you really need. read more

Take out place. Delicious, simple, clean Hong Kong dishes! Comfort food. Their dumpling egg noodle soup was amazing! They have both yellow wrapped (Hong Kong style) wonton, and white wrapped (Shanghai style) dumpling. I got confused thinking dumplings was regular dumplings, but I think they mean white wrapped wontons. Takes credit card. $11.95 Dumpling Soup includes 8 dumplings. If you want noodles, then it'll include 4 dumplings with a choice of noodles (flat, vermicelli, or egg). The dumplings are white wontons. $4-$6 Herbal, dessert drinks to fresh tofu. My $4.95 Green bean and seaweed dessert was refreshing, and anti-inflammatory. Looking forward to trying more items like their regular wontons, beef dishes, $12.95 hainan chicken on rice, and $9.95+ congee. Apparently their receipt says Congee & Noodle House (previously what their business was called?). They also sell frozen wontons (50pc) $27 for wontons, $30 for white skin wontons/they call dumplings. I accidentally found this place when refilling water next door. This place was never opened, or seemed open to the public before. Thought they just served b2b/restaurants only. read more

5 stars for the absolutely delicious WONTON SOUP ($12). 8 juicy plump shrimp wonton, lots of chinese greens and delicious pork bone broth. They also sell bag of 50 frozen wontons for $27 (cash only). When it comes to wontons, no one does it better than the Hongkongers (not the Taiwanese nor the Shanghainese). My picks for best Cantonese shrimp wontons in the 626 SGV: this place and ABC Cafe (on Garfield & Garvey).

unassuming mom and pop shop that i know i'll be returning to very soon! i was needing lunch and stumbled onto this place with a quick yelp search. i called in my order (in cantonese) to-go and my order was already waiting for me when i arrived. when i entered, there was no one outside to assist me but shortly after, a man (maybe the owner?) stepped out to ring me up. the short wait gave me time to peruse their refrigerated items, which included herbal tea, milk tea, vietnamese coffee, various cantonese desserts (red bean soup, tofu pudding, ginger milk pudding), gluten puffs, and fresh noodles, etc - all of which look housemade and incredibly tempting. they also sell frozen hk wontons! jury's out on how the wontons are, but will try next time. i'm partial to beef stew noodle so that's what i opted for. i just came back from hong kong and hong's noodles and beef were definitely up there for me and one of the better ones i've had in sgv in a looong time. the meat and tendon were tender. veggies were crunchy. and the noodles!! perfectly crisp and crunchy as bamboo noodles should be. everything was packaged nicely and in a small paper bag, which i found totally unexpected as most places give flimsy plastic bags. their packaging is definitely more sustainable and more expensive. street parking is available, but very limited. i wound up parking at the jade plaza next door. read more

Hong Coffee & Bakery - nicely packaged order - Cantonese Near Me - Monterey Park, California

See all

Some of the best Hong Kong noodle soups around. Get it with wontons, beef stew, or beef tripe. It all works so well together and is much better than any HK cafes you can find in the area. I think their secret must be their noodles, it's got the perfect consistency. Their tofu pudding is also very good, fresh, and comes in a few different flavors, but a little pricey. You can also buy their wontons frozen to go. They're well made and have wood ear mushrooms which give it a very nice texture. A real mom-and-pop, so wouldn't expect any crazy service. The shop is also small and very few seats. read more
