Point Dume Chinese Food - Menu - Chinese Near Me - El Monte, California

To start, note that they are ONLY to-go orders. There aren't even tables or chairs to wait for your food. They have a table placed at the front door to take your order. Plus, they're CASH ONLY so plan ahead! With that said, what drew me to this place were the numerous social media videos about the affordability of this place, so I knew I had to try it. The lady that owns it is super friendly. The videos were right! Each place ranges anywhere from $8-15 depending on what it is, FAR cheaper than other places. I was expecting it to be more American Chinese, but the flavors were pretty good (as a Chinese person who knows home cooking) and might be what you consider as a 'mix' in Chinese flavors. Is it the most amazing Chinese food? Not really, but it's decently good, and I liked it considering the price you pay for it. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Decided to try this place because my brother kept talking about it. There's lot of parking since it's shared with small businesses. Note to self, next time, call ahead to order instead of going there to order. I waited about 20-25 mins for my 3 items during the busy dinner time. I ordered the orange chicken, fish filet with black bean sauce, and Mongolian beef. For $7-$8 per item, it wasn't a bad meal. The food was affordable. It also comes with white rice. There is no dine in and it's cash only. read more

Came by because of social media's promotion and the Yelp reviews. They are only offering to go orders, and no dine in. The lady taking our order is nice. We ordered orange chicken with white rice, and crispy noodle with shrimp. Food was freshly prepared, and it was hot when I got home. The orange chicken seemed to be all doughy, and tasteless. The breading was not crispy at all. The noodle was not fully cooked for the crispy noodle, and it was hard to bite off. The sauce of the crispy noodle is more like soup, which was watery and has a lack of flavored. Price was very reasonable, which is nice for the economy. I recommended this place if you are on a budget and not care the taste of the food. Keep in mind that the food was freshly made, which was nice. However, this is not for me. Pretty sad meal to me. Cash only. read more

Point Dume Chinese Food - Chinese Near Me - El Monte, California

Point Dume Chinese Food is located in the same plaza as El Pollo Loco and Hello Boba. My family decided to try Point Dume Chinese Food for dinner two Sundays ago. I made an order over the phone and ordered the following: Black Pepper Beef with Fresh Mushrooms, $8.95 prior to tax- In this dish, there were no mushrooms, lol. It was made with zucchini, onions and bell peppers. My husband was disappointed because there were no mushrooms but it was a tasty dish. But rather salty. Fried Fish Fillet with Vegetables, $7.95 prior to tax- My mom picked this entree. We did like it but this dish was really salty. I do like that this dish had a lot of vegetables though, with a mix of cabbage, broccoli, bean sprouts and carrots. There was also plenty of garlic used in the sauce. Szechuan Eggplant, $6.95 prior to tax- I opted for eggplant because I just love egg plant. This dish was really, really oily though. But the flavor was good. Chicken with Broccoli, $6.95 prior to tax- This dish had plenty of broccoli, but also had some cabbage and a little bit of carrots. And again, this dish was rather salty too. Container of steamed white rice- Complementary but wished it came with 2 boxes and I didn't want to purchase a box. -------------------------------- (Total= $34.04 after tax) Please note that this restaurant is CASH ONLY. The employee who took care of our transaction was friendly. We still had to wait a little bit after coming during the time we were told our order would be ready. But that wasn't a problem. While we waited for out items, we saw that there were other people who had also made an order ahead of time and came to pick up their food too. Portion size is excellent and the price is also very cheap. Honestly, you can't find any restaurant with these type of prices in California that can feed a family for 1-2 meals. But the food is really salty and oily so I don't know if I would come back here any time soon. But would consider them again for a pot luck or gathering. read more

I've driven by Point Dume many times, even came across it on Yelp but never stopped by until recently. Someone mentioned it in a food group I'm in and said it was pretty good and super cheap, so curiosity got me. They're takeout and cash only, and there's a table by the entrance for you to pick up or place your order. It's located in a strip mall off Peck Rd. and it's not hard to find a parking spot. We ordered a vegetable fried noodle, chicken in spicy sauce, fish filet in Szechuan sauce and bean curd in brown sauce. The orders also come with rice. The portions are generous, and flavor isn't bad, although the fish was in a heavy sauce, and the chicken dish was a tad bit salty. The price is ridiculously cheap, all that for about $30., which is rare these days. Don't expect gourmet, authentic Chinese cuisine from here, but it does remind me of many years ago when friends and I will hit up a dive in SF Chinatown at 1am after partying, getting greasy cheap food. Plus, it's a small family business and the lady was very nice, so I'd gladly support them. read more

Looking for an affordable meal to feed the family? Point Dume is a take out only spot that has pretty cheap options. Most things are in the $7-9 range. We ordered 5 dishes for less than $50 total. Portions are decent for the price. Taste-wise you get what you pay for. Most of these items were just ok to me. I've definitely had better. The sweet and sour pork wasn't crispy even though we had it "fresh." The beef chow fun didn't have enough flavor or wok hei. The Mongolian beef was pretty good but contained a lot of onions. The eggplant dish was also pretty good but heavy on the oil. The walnut shrimp was also tasty but I wish it had less of the mayo dressing. Overall, food was ok. read more

Point Dume Chinese Food - Chinese Near Me - El Monte, California

If you look for good Chinese food at very affordable price, you should come to this place. For $7 you can order one order of shrimp fried rice or orange chicken, good portion too, can't complain. There is no dine in, to-go orders only. They do party trays too. I wish they have some seats available at the door. There is usually one Chinese lady takes your orders, and don't expect your multiple orders will be ready to pick up quickly, so you just need to be patient. read more

Service was very nice. The restaurant was clean. The food is very affordable and pretty good for the price. The amount of meat on most of the dishes is a bit low but it's very reasonable for the price. read more

Take out only, cash only. Same strip mall as Pollo Loco. Plenty of parking. Prices this low for Chinese food might make you suspicious as to the quality and quantity of the food but for the price the food is not bad. The quantity of the food is sufficient, you won't be overwhelmed with overflowing containers and the quality is very acceptable. Try it, you might be disappointed, but then again, maybe you won't be. It's definitely not going to break the bank. read more

I'm not sure why but I never had Point Dume until recently and I will be going back regularly! Their prices and portions are UNBEATABLE. It reminds me of dining back in the 2010s when things were affordable. Portions are huge and generous. I feel like the dishes are a bit salty but I can't really complain given the price. It's just extra favorable! The are take out and cash only! You can call in to order ahead of time! The lady in the front speaks mandarin and English! She was very kind! They also do party trays for $20-30 depending on what you want to order and party tray size. They are open thanksgiving day but closed a bit earlier! read more

Chinese Togo restaurant. I went February 2026 and they no longer serve onsite and only do Togo. I really wanted love this place but to be honest it's not authentic. We got the chow fun and the noodles were stuck together and it literally had 3 pieces of beef. I think they used pork instead of beef in the beef broccoli. The lady that took the order was really nice and friendly. Really really cheap prices that run about $6-$8 per dish. Really affordable. read more

Got three vegetarian dishes for my mom. Bean curd in brown sauce looks great and delicious. Szechuan Eggplant looks okay but I've had better fried eggplant. The Chinese Mushroom with bamboo shoots didn't seem to have that much mushrooms. Overall not bad food especially for the price, around $6.95 each. There is no seating, only ordering at the door (door blocked by table). The lady did warn almost every customer that it would take around 20 minutes which is kind of a lot. I didn't mind the wait because she did let us know. Wish they had some outdoor seating while we waited. Probably should run errands in the area (George's Produce across the street). Considering the prices of the food, definitely will come back and try other non vegetarian dishes. read more

Very friendly customer service. Very cheap. We ordered the fried beef noodle. It was fine but I guess you get what you pay for. There was some chilli sauce which was tasty. Like others probably mentioned there is no place to sit. We went on a weekday and called our order in. There was still a line at the door and we still had to wait. read more

Read the reviews and decided I had to check out this place. We ordered the sweet-and-sour pork, which had a great taste with medium size chunks of pork. The mixed vegetable chow mein and mixed vegetable fried rice both had great flavor and complemented the sweet-and-sour pork. The walnut shrimp tasted great and paired well with the steamed fluffy white rice. I saved the best for last and ended my meal with a delicious and crispy eggroll. Can't wait to try the orange chicken next. Food here is great, but customer service here is awesome. The lady behind the counter was absolutely sweet and friendly with an infectious smile. Overall, I highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Went for the first time, ordered over the phone and ordered the Fried Dumplings, 2 wontons soups & Sliced Chicken Noodle Soup and it came out to $29 with some change. A very good price and nice portions. The wonton soup had shrimp that wasn't mentioned. It was good except I wasn't a big fan of how soggy the wonton wrapper gets from being in the soup but I assume its normal. The dumplings and chicken noodle soup were perfect. Aside from the food the restaurant does have a table at the door and it is as mentioned only takeout with a lady at the desk who did have a pretty thick accent but nothing to heavy. Overall definitely coming back soon. read more

5/5 - Perfect Spot Point Dume Chinese Food is one of those hidden local gems that deserves way more recognition. It's a humble, husband-and-wife-run spot that's been serving the community for over a decade -- and you can taste the love and experience in every bite. They've shifted to a to-go-only setup in recent years, and while I miss the option to dine in, I completely respect their decision to run the business in a way that works best for them. The food quality hasn't skipped a beat. Everything I've tried here has been phenomenal -- and the prices? Shockingly affordable, especially for the portion sizes and flavor. My personal go-to's include the sesame chicken (crispy and not overly sweet), the Szechuan eggplant (perfectly soft and spicy), salt and pepper pork chop (packed with flavor and just the right crisp), and mapo tofu, which is bold, comforting, and balanced. If you're in the area and haven't tried Point Dume yet, you're seriously missing out. Places like this remind me why I love supporting local. read more

Point Dume Chinese Food - Chinese Near Me - El Monte, California

I've been coming to this place for the last 15 years of my life and I think Ive only seen price increases ONCE. At least this menu has been up for at least 10 of those 15 yrs and the quality is still IMPECCABLE. The owner is the sweetest lady and I believe her husband? Is the cook. Regardless, the service they provide has been consistent thru all the years we've been going there. The food is AUTHENTIC, the test, the quality of ingredients. The only downside is that after the pandemic, she turned the business in to-go only, so u cant really eat there anymore and items like soup, I really rather eat there. All in all, this place is TOP NOTCH. read more

Great price. Made to order. Good value. The flavor just wasn't there for me. Especially the noodles. The orange chicken was good but Panda Express is legit better. Cash Only. read more

Amazing quality and taste!! Food came out quickly and the woman was really nice and always had a smile on her face. I'm surprised many people commented that the price is "reasonable." No this place is EXTREMELY CHEAP, like I hope the owner raises her price so she can survive inflation For example we ordered walnut shrimp for $12.99 and at our usual place it is $22!!! Even if she upped everything $2-3 I would still come back. read more

Really nice lady taking the order. Portions are large and prices are good. Food is pretty good - about what you can expect.

The food and the presentation are completely awesome. The lady is so old-fashioned their food are big portions and everyone can be split between two or three people. It's almost a five star and I think we need to give her the five star they are awesome.. one pork fried rice, one chow mein and a couple broccoli beef for orange chickens and your set for 5to6 people with free giant white rice. THANK YOU HIDDEN GEM!!! read more

Point Dume Chinese Food - Beef Chow Fun - Chinese Near Me - El Monte, California

There's several options in the area where you can get super cheap ($9 and under) asian food for lunch. You have various BMC locations, Banana Bay, Edan Thai, and this place. Food: Well, when prices are this low, you have to expect lower quality. I've ordered a mix of things here. If you expect it to taste amazing, you're in the wrong place. You should be okay getting a chow mein or sweet and sour dish. It's not horrible, but not good either. Service: They only do to-go orders now. The lady running the front is a complete sweetheart. She speaks limited English and converses with me in Mandarin even though my Mandarin is probably only at a 1st grade proficiency. Environment: Parking is plentiful. No more dine in. The plaza is not the tidiest looking. I hate driving out of this plaza as Peck Rd is always packed and hard to get in. Lower Azusa exit is only East bound. Price: Many menu items under $10. I order 3 things and it came out to $23 after tax. That...is dirt cheap... Food: 2.5 Service: 4 Environment: 3 Price: 5 read more

Always a smile and decent food for a good price. Been going here almost 10 years. It's now only to go but it's yummy and good quality.

Good food. Great value! I rarely get Chinese takeout from somewhere new like this, but I'm glad I made an exception.

**Ambiance**: This is strictly a takeout spot, which works perfectly fine for me. Just a heads-up -- the entrance is blocked by a table, so you place your order at the door and can't go inside. **Service**: Excellent! Friendly and fast. From the moment I ordered, it only took about 10 minutes for everything to be ready. The woman at the window was especially sweet -- she even gave my toddlers cookies as a treat, which was a nice touch. **Price**: Unbeatable. The portion sizes are generous, especially considering how affordable everything is. **Food**: Mixed feelings. I ordered the mixed fried rice, chow mein, and wonton soup. The wonton soup was actually quite good -- better than expected. However, the rice and noodles were both overly seasoned with soy sauce and a bit bland overall. Not terrible, just nothing memorable. All in all, given the price and service, I'd consider giving them another try -- maybe I just didn't order their specialties. read more
