Taste Of Mp - Monterey Park

I really enjoyed my dinner here as a 1st timer. Food were made to order. Very fresh, wholesome ingredients. The services were very good and the waiters were all very attentive and kind. The interior were clean and there are alot of private room section off on one side. What I really like is to witness all the staff singing happy birthday to a party in English and in Chinese. That was very sweet.

This is my go to Chinese food. Family style dishes. Good Cantonese style food, comforting and delicious. Local place with regulars but still nice for a family dinner and get togethers.

Food is Salty, oily, and Overcharge for its price. Since we didn't like the food we didn't give any tip. This guy gave us an attitude for not giving a tip. He is the rudest person i have ever met. We left all the food that we paid for $132. Do not waste your time in this restaurant.

My party had reservations for a private room, and were told we would have to spend at least $350 to be in there. From the moment I walked in, the host did not seem like he was in a good mood. He checked us in and just pointed at a general direction of the room and told us to go. My party ordered a variety of different dishes, such as Green Beans, Pecking Duck, Walnut Shrimps, Pork Belly, Deep Fried Chicken, etc. They food was just decent, and some dishes were better than others. I did not think it was anything special. My favorite dish was the Green Beans. The staff were difficult to flag down sometimes, but we're overall attentive. Near the end of our meal, we were told that we have to finish our food very fast as their next reservation was already there. I honestly have never felt so rushed to eat. Overall, the experience was just okay.

I had seen an increase in activity after the former New Lucky became Taste of MP for Cantonese style food so I decided to try it with my out-of-town guests. Because I had elderly in my group that didn't want to eat out, I placed a to-go order in person at the restaurant. While I waited for my order, I noticed the restaurant had been recently remodeled and not extremely large. They had installed private side dining rooms that narrowed and decreased the main dining area. My large order didn't take too long, maybe 15-20 minutes, but is was still early in the evening before any primetime rush. The food is authentic Cantonese and very good. Every dish was absolutely delicious. The diced filet mignon was so tender and flavorful. The seafood and tofu hot pot was well prepared. The salt and pepper pork chop was tasty. Even the eggplant and salted fish was so yummy. I don't think there was any one dish that was any better than another which was a sign of a great head chef and team.I highly recommend Taste of MP as an excellent alternative to the remaining few and more popular true Cantonese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley. I look forward to the opportunity to dine in at Taste of MP to add their service component as part of the dinner experience.
