Lamb, beef, and chicken dishes, plus dumplings
"This family-run restaurant in Monterey Park specializes in Chinese Islamic cuisine, which means that everything from their spicy JinHai chicken to their thick chive dumplings is completely halal. This is the kind of bold, flavorful food that’ll be able to bring you back from the brink of existential collapse when you accidentally glance at a calendar with your now-canceled plans on it. Their entire menu is available for takeout and delivery, call (626) 703-4468 or order through their website." - kat hong

It’s a relatively new spot compared to its long-standing neighbors, but the food here shouldn’t be underestimated. Whether it’s a giant platter of spicy JinHai chicken or lamb and chive dumplings that arrive to the table looking like thick, miniature pancakes, the food at this bright cafe is bold, flavorful, and different than anything else you can get in the neighborhood." - Brant Cox

"I found a lamb- and beef-centric menu at Mei Wei Jin Hai, a Chinese Islamic restaurant run by a cheerful operator; it replaces Meet With Chengdu, a solid Sichuan restaurant that was sadly overlooked." - Jim Thurman
