Yau Ma Tei Yummy Kitchen - A Dim Sum Delight in Monterey Park, CA

Food portion is big. Taste ok, need some wok-hei. I order the beef chow fun, it tastes kind of bland, didn't have the smoky, charred flavor in it. The seafood pan fried noodle and the baked pork chop rice is ok.

Food was great. Black truffle marinated chicken was very flavorful, and had strong truffle taste. Salt & pepper chicken wing very crisp outside, and juicy inside. Clay pot had good flavor. Peking style pork chop was great, deep fried just right with sweet and sour sauce. Deep fried sole fish was great, very crisp with good sauce, and not dry. Salty fish with tofu was plain, had no flavor. Service was great, they checked on us multiple times to refill tea and napkins.

Excellent, affordable, super-fresh and tasty authentic Cantonese cuisine! Lunch specials start at just $9.99 and goes up to $13.99 per entree everyday from 11am. The menu is large with a great variety of selections. Service is good, typical no-frills quick and efficient Chinese style. Complimentary hot pot of tea and daily soup is served once you sit down at the table. They also have specialty items with special low promo prices like if you spend $50 then you can get a whole roasted quail for only $12.99 in which our waitress suggested and offered with our order. That was one of thee most delicious little birds I have ever put in mouth! The small sized meaty quail was roasted to perfection and served scorching hot along side a plate of dipping salt and a wedge of lemon. The other four entrees we got were the usual Cantonese home cooked dishes and all had great flavor plus "wok-hay"! My favorite seniors and I will definitely be coming back here for seconds.

Lunch specials menu is extensive and all for $11.80 incl rice soup and hot tea. Food taste really good. Portions are generous. Service very prompt. But parking kinda problematic. Their clay pot rice is on par with others good Cantonese places

Checked out this new spot across the street from Mama Lu's. It is extremely popular right now, so expect a long line for both breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is really fun—they have HK bus-style seats that make it feel like a legit Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong. The food is authentic and the prices are unbeatable. Lunch selections start at $9.99, and even during the lunch rush, we were able to get the all-day special Wonton Noodle Soup for just $4.99. We also ordered the steamed minced pork with preserved vegetables and the stir-fried string beans with dried shrimp. Everything was delicious. Just a heads up: they are still in soft opening, so the service is a little chaotic. Also, the parking lot is tiny, so we had to find street parking on the side. Definitely worth it for the value and the flavors!

They just opened in January 15 2026. They have a $5.99 wonton noodle soup promo and a $3.99 beef rice roll promo. Wonton noodle soup - the wonton were humongous. The noodles had that slight firm consistency by you will remember from a HK noodle shop. It even has that alkaline taste familiar to noodles in HK. The beef rice roll was quite good as well. It was pretty decent sized serving. I will come back to try the other stuff.

My first time trying Milk & Co Cafe in Monterey Park with my mom. I was told that they are fairly new, so they have some crazy promotion deals, such as $4.99 for a wonton noodle soup, and $7.99 for a baked tomato pork chop rice, etc. We were there on Sunday around 1:30 p.m., and it had many people waiting there. The interior had a fun vibe with some cool decorations and reminded me of some Hong Kong cafes. We waited about 15 minutes, and the server asked if anyone did not mind table sharing. It was a bit awkward, but my mom and I did not mind, and we wanted to order our food quickly. We ordered their special promotions, a wonton noodle soup, tomato baked pork chop rice, and we also ordered minced pork rice with double eggs for both of us. All the orders came in generous portions. The wonton noodle soup had a lot of noodles inside, and it had five big wontons. The portion was big, and you may want to share it with someone. However, the noodles and wonton were mediocre, but it was great for the value wise. I liked the tomato-baked pork chop rice the most, even though it took a while to make. The pork chop meat was tender, and the taste was flavorful. Lastly, the minced pork rice with double eggs was also tasty. I wish that it had some veggies on it, though. What do they need to improve? The service and wait time, and they need to be more organized. It was a bit chaotic because they were busy and they had such crazy deals. For $4.99 wonton noodle soup and $7.99 tomato baked pork chop rice, they were so worth it. The parking lot is small, so I had to park my car on the street. It's a new business, so I hope that they can do well. Note: For this special wonton noodle soup promotion, they have some restrictions. You can only order one bowl of wonton noodle soup if you have two people. For 3-4 people, you can order two bowls of wonton noodle soup; for 4-8 people, you can order three bowls of wonton noodle soup; and for 8 or more people can order four bowls of wonton noodle soup.

One of many HK-style cafes in the area, their food is pretty solid if you're looking for good comfort meals. I got their salted fish eggplant pot (yum!), veggies, a rice soup, and a beef chow mein. Everything tasted exactly the way a HK cafe would taste. Super flavorful eggplant pot. I want to try the seafood tofu one next time. We tried ordering a claypot rice but they told us it would take 45 mins. We'll have to order ahead for claypot rice for sure.
