Green Island Asian Fusion Restaurant in Monterey Park

A typical HK style cafe located in the new Atlantic Blvd plaza. Loved the free underground parking and flat screen tv for each table seatings. The portions are pretty big and each lunch special comes with either beef fried rice or eels fried rice. They also have daily special entrees for $4.99.

City Cafe (都市美食) in Monterey Park

Another Hong Kong style cafe in Monterey Park, very similar to 'Harbor Kitchen'. New and spacious with wall-mounted flat screen TVs in the premise. Parking is at the back. Food was okay, nothing special, reasonable pricing. Around $8 a dish. We had Korean marinated T-bone beef (not enough favor), baked seafood rice (creamy and nice) and beef brisket. All dishes came with a choice of spaghetti or rice.

Elite Restaurant (名流山莊) in Monterey Park

We came to this restaurant for my aunt's birthday and we had the private room with 2 tables. There was also a karaoke machine, but we didn't sing. Food was good and pretty large portion. Loved the fish in the picture.

Luminarias Restaurant in Monterey Park

This restaurant located at the hill top of Monterey Park, right next to the Monterey Park Golf course. They serve mainly Mexician dishes. As we had a party of more than 10 people, we had to order from the set menu... either salmon or steak. The steak was good but not so much for the salmon. Service was a bit slow even though the restaurant wasn't full at all. It has a nice view, but not sure whether we will come back for more in the future.

JJ Cafe in Monterey Park

A Hong Kong style cafe in the main street of Monterey Park. The portion was big and we barely managed to finish the dishes. Parking is at the back. Reasonably priced and service was quick too. I prefer this restaurant than Harbor Kitchen.

Cocary BBQ Restaurant (可加麗) in Monterey Park

Cocary is a Taiwanese hotpot/BBQ place. They serve hotpot/BBQ on a table for 4 peopl as well as on the rolling-belt at the bar individually (as seen in picture). You just grab the meat plates ($2.99/dish) and veggie plates ($1.99/dish) from the fridge, and cook that yourself. Tea, rice and sweet potatoes congee are all included. There is currently a 20% off for lunch. Only $20 for 3 of us, that's a bargain. There was also a railway train going around the rolling-belt, but no food was on those small plates on the day. Recommended.

L.Y.L. Garden Seafood Restaurant in Monterey Park

Decoration is a bit dated and not a big restaurant, but the food is nice. Like many restaurant in the area, they have deals on lobsters ($3.99 each), prawns and pigeons ($2.99 each). In order to take this offer, you will need to order over $25 for the dinner. We were impressed with the Scallops on Tofu, black chicken soup and fried fish. $60 for 5 people, reasonably priced.
