Special lunch here serves traditional Cantonese dishes for 7/10 flavor, but 10/10 portion sizes and 10/10 prices. Prices start at $11.25-$13.95 and you'll have leftovers for 2 lunches.

The food quality is phenomenal here! I recommend getting the iconic "Deep Fried Whole Fish". It's a MUST for sure because every time I go here, this is what my family and I get and honestly, it is so worth it. Other things I tried are Beef Chow Fun, Sauteed Sole Fillet, Green Beans, Kung Pao Chicken, Clam w/ Black Bean Sauce, and Peking Pork Chops. And let me tell you, none of the dishes disappointed. Each plate was packed with its own special flavor & it was different from one another. Let me also mention that the portions were huge as well. Take a look for yourself cause they weren't about that stingy life. SERVICE: 3/5 stars. Throughout our order, it took a while for everything to come out. Not the best service; however, lowkey the food and portions made up for it. They would give us one thing we ordered every 10-15 minutes. AMBIANCE: A comfortable environment, traditional vibes, felt the vibes, waiting around 10 minutes to get seated. As I got seated, more people were getting seated and they were getting busy.

The Chinese food here is so good. I've dined in once and ordered take out so many times. I feel I have to write a review to help them boost their business. They have good quality food. My go to orders are honey garlic pork chop, beef chow fun, saute fliet mignon house special lobster, fried whole sole filet and deep fried squab. The service is average but that's the norm in SGV. The food is comparable to Boston Lobster and Henry's Cuisine. Ambiance is meh, it can use a remodel. Plenty of parking in the lot

Living in the area, it took us years to find this place. It's tucked into the corner of a small plaza with limited parking. From the outside, it doesn't look like much. All you see is crowds of people waiting around, especially on the weekends. Inside is a bit bigger than initially thought. There are several tables for larger parties and plenty of 4 seaters. During meal times, they get busy. I've been here several times, and the food has always been constantly good. On top of the flavors, the portions are big and the prices are low, so that makes a winning recipe for a successful restaurant. Things we tried: Singapore fried vermicelli. Huge plate, fragrant, great curry taste with a little bit of heat. Eggplant, and chicken in garlic sauce (these are 2 different dishes in the same sauce) Bold flavors that go well with white rice. Sautéed string beans are fresh, crisp and served with a bit of garlic. There are other dishes we tried, and they were all pretty good. Mr. Chopsticks is a great place to get big portions of tasty Chinese food, and you'll sure to have leftovers for the next day, so you won't have to cook.

For some reason I was craving deep-fried sole tonight, so I remember this place that was near Sam's Club in El Monte. My boyfriend wanted the walnut shrimp, which was delicious (not too sweet), Yang Chow fried rice, and the sauté green beans. They added onions to sauté green beans which we thought was weird at first but turned out delicious. The deep fried squid needed a little bit more seasoning and may be a little bit longer with the frying but it was also good. The fried sole that I was craving at the spot. The portions were huge and we were able to place the order before going to Sam's Club and picked it up within 20 minutes of the phone call. We will definitely be back to try more items on their menu.

This was a pretty solid classic Chinese restaurant in El Monte. I came on a Tuesday for dinnertime and it was pretty crowded but no wait. Service was mediocre but that's nothing new at these type of restaurants. Food was good and I got these. Hot and Sour soup - I really enjoyed this one especially for an appetizer. They certainly don't lack content with a lot of veggies and meat in here. Also was pretty flavorful and delicious. (4.5/5) Orange Peel Chicken - Man they don't skimp on portions because this one was HUGE. It's made fresh and super crispy. Sweet and crispy. It's delicious but heavy. (4/5) Beef Chow Fun - This was just okay. At least this time it was a bit on the soft side so I don't know if the noodles weren't as fresh or overcooked. Beef and overall flavor was good. (3/5) String Beans - They killed it on this. It had the perfect bite on every string and was seasoned well. (5/5) Honey Walnut Shrimp - Another great dish with fresh seafood. Sauce was good, pecans were solid and shrimp was fried well. Perfection! (5/5) Overall this is a solid spot for Chinese food. Prices were reasonable and portions were huge. Tea was free but you have to buy white rice by the cup. Our total came out to be $88.8, lucky number!, for 5 people with tons of leftover. I'd be back, it's good!

Hole in the wall spot that has solid food at insane prices. It's like they haven't been affected by everyone's inflation greed. You can still get $13.25 lunch special items like scrambled egg shrimp or whole fried sole! AND it comes with an entire container of rice and a 4 serving bowl of soup. I feel like most places stopped doing this since like the 2000s for these prices. Did I mention that they also grow their own vegetables?! You're getting great value and quantity at pretty fair quality. Sometimes the quality isn't the greatest but it's so cheap that it's totally worthwhile. My last visit the quality was totally amazing too so it's better than "you get what you pay for" totally a blast from the past. I will say that the carpet is older than me and if you need to go to the restroom... Maybe don't.

I don't tend to come to El Monte that often but recently I came here for a friend's dad's birthday and it was one of the most memorable and funniest I have been to in recent years. This place looks like a zoo with so many people trying to get tables for dinner. I felt like I went back in time with how the simple seating is. But that is all good because the food says it all for them. It is amazing and if you love traditional Cantonese style food you will enjoy it here. All the dishes are large family-style portions. You have a large circle spinner so everyone can get food. My favorite dishes are their melon soup, tofu mushroom with veggies, and lobster noodles. Simple and easy dishes but all tasted great! We had a ton of fun and I can't wait to come back!
