Taste Of MP

EVERY family gathering, seems like my older sister really likes this place. They provide such great service for our family and if not busy, they would give us the room as well. We usually order lots of items for a group of 8 and gets quite full here. The dishes that I love the most is the filet mignon and also their honey walnut shrimp !! I think this what's to be the best honey walnut shrimp I ever had compared to anywhere else. Trust me, I eat also of honey walnut shrimp dish! Beside this dish, we also got a fried fish which I really liked!I would also say the plaza is huge and parking is easy and if there isn't there's plenty of street parking and we didn't have any issues with it. I would also suggest to try their dessert that they give after the meal a bit sweet for me but my family loves it! Next time, I would want to try their Peking duck.

Lunch special is such a good deal!For $15.99 i got a large plate of duck and tofu. Hot tea. A big bowl of white rice and a big bowl of soup that could have served 3 people. The interior is classic Chinese eatery. Fish tanks in one side of the room. Lots of space for big groups. Service was fast and no nonsense. The food is solid, not amazing but all good. My soup could have been hotter. But for the price this place is great. Big parking lot with free parking.

After karaoke on the Christmas Day, we looked for a place for dinner. Taste of MP is close by and it was so packed at 7 pm. The wait for a table of 4 was not bad. The hostess gave us the menu so we can order first and once we have the table, the food would be served. Good suggestion! We ordered the XO sauce scallop, shrimp in black bean sauce, filet mignon with mixed mushroom, sauté pea leaf and the E-fu noodles. Everyone enjoyed the dinner and we had leftovers for lunch. Like any Chinese restaurant, the service was fast and pricing was reasonable. We will come back for my delicious food for sure.

I think this place should get a strong mention due to their string beans. Nice subtle flavor, good wok-he. The lunch special price/portion is a great ratio. This time, the clams were too sandy, with at least 3-4 not open. The servers were courteous and food came quickly.

Our favorite simple Canto LUNCH SPECIAL restaurant, and just takeout Chinese restaurant overall!! 11am-5pm Daily Lunch Special with rice and soup. Its not the best, but quality is decent, and they have the variety I like. Depending on what you order, it can be oily, especially the dishes we ordered this time. Or maybe different cook today? This visit, it felt like Chinese fast food but better quality. Many places offer too much meat, become a carbo load place, or it's just more mainland China taste and dishes. This place is typical OG Canto lunch specials...not many places left. Open to suggestions!!Lunch special prices:1. Pan fried String Beans with Minced pork $12.993. Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce $12.9929. Beef with Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce $14.9932. Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce $14.9957. Preserved Vegetable with Pork Intestine $15.99We ordered to a certain point where lobster was an additional deal for us...$30 lobster. Lunch Special soup is always the typical light version. Rice is typical, nothing special, nothing bad. This visit, we ordered pretty oily items. In previous visits we ordered different dishes. Lettuce and tofu, and shredded bamboo tofu fungus we're not for us last time. We're not into sweet and sour dishes, sweet, spare ribs but we have tried it here; it's not for us but good for those who usually like those dishes. I'll probably order the house special dish (lotus, sausage, fungus), seafood crispy chow mein, crispy intestine, walnut shrimp, jelly fish again.We also order (full price) takeout too. I'm not a fan of the new popular fad of Canto breakfast specials around 626 SGV. My mom loves deals and loves lunch special...but I think her social circle has changed (with age too) to breakfast special.

This wasn't our first option, but we ended up loving the food! It was delicious, tasty, and the interior gives off a banquet style Chinese restaurant reminiscent of the 90's and early 2000's. It's definitely off the beaten path a little bit, but worth a try if other restaurants are too crowded

I ate at this place with other coworkers for our Christmas lunch and the food was so delicious that myself and another coworker went back here the following day. The first day I was here we had our office manager order the food since he is Chinese and has eaten here before, he suggested that we order different types of dishes and try a little of each and I am glad that we did and so was the other ten coworkers. It was my first time ever to try ToFu and it was delicious. I had never eaten it before, but I am glad that I tried it. Also I had tried the Eggplant and that too was very tasty at this place. I had it before and it wasn't and probably that person didn't know how to properly prepare it. We also had several other dishes and one was the scrambled eggs with shrimp and that was very tasty we also had the string beans with chicken and there were a couple of spicy dishes and I just have never been able to handle spicy food. All the food was really great tasting. In the beginning the meal comes with soup and tea is at no charge and also white rice. All of us just drank ice water.I highly recommend this place to others.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurant in Monterey Park. Their price is fair and the food quality is superb. I have been here many times and I would always come back. Service is great and staff super friendly. Highly recommend the jumbo clam sashimi ... It's a must order dish for me every single time. They have most of the standard HK style seafood and dishes. Cannot go wrong.

I love this place. It used to be called "New Lucky" so im not sure if they completely changed ownership, and I do think the quality of the food used to be a tad bit better, but I still adore this joint and they have all the dishes that you can't always find in one place around the area. My top favorites are the honey walnut shrimp, pork belly w preserved vegetable, mapo tofu, and the scrambled egg with shrimp. Whenever I go I can't just get one thing cause I got to have it all there or at least some of it all ! Yes, all that food you see in the pictures was ordered for myself only because I told ya I love the food there and whats a hungry gal to eat? Im so glad they have all the Cantonese classics, as well as the luxury items like Peking roasted duck, lobster, and other seafood specials. And now I'm in the mood for the crispy pork. Also a great place for those Asian family dinners or get togethers

I came here with the family for lunch. We were lucky to find available parking spaces since the lot wasn't too big, and it is a busy spot for lunch. Interior is very nice, and they have rooms if you want to have a private party. When we sat down, they gave us a big bowl of soup while we looked at the menu. They have lunch specials for selected items. We ordered the Yang Chow Fried Rice, Honey Walnut Shrimp (a must when we eat at a Chinese restaurant), Seafood with Bean Curd, and House Special Chicken. Portions were big, and there was plenty of leftovers. It came with white rice, so we didn't actually need to order the fried rice. The food came out faster than I thought they would. The food was delicious, especially the bean curd that had meat in the dish. Honey walnut shrimp was a real hit. Chicken was so-so, not as flavorful as other places.Overall, service was good, and price was good for how much food there was.
