Coronavirus Concerns Shut Down Three San Gabriel Valley Restaurants | Eater LA

"A Cantonese seafood restaurant in Monterey Park where diners are shifting to much earlier meals (around 5 p.m.) and placing many takeout orders; overall business remains significantly down but staff are adapting day by day." - Kristie Hang

If you want good chinese food This isnt a bad spot The waiters speak decent english so its easy to communicate and they recommend solid dishes If you come and need a private room, they can accomodate too. Parking structure is in the front so quite easy

Reasonably priced for lunch. Come with "Old Fire" soup which is tasty that young kids nowadays do not know how to gather the ingredients for it's cooking. Good simple traditional old-fashioned Chinese dishes. Fresh & Fast. We had steam chicken which is soft & tender. Server changed our dirty plates, a rarity at lunch time. Good place to take your parents so they can rest an off-kitchen day. Good quality is consistent and decent serving size.

Very happy and satisfied. Great attentive service and staff were very friendly. The portions are huge and the price justified. The flavor and cooking technique was spot on and serve as a model for great Monterey Park Chinese cuisine. The 2 for 1 lobster for $11.99 w purchase of 3 entrees was a great deal!

Food here is good. I did find the bread for the Peking duck a little hard. Noise level wasnt bad for a Chinese restaurant because the have small partitioned off rooms for larger group.

Everything is delicious and portions generous. Great value for authentic Cantonese food...and if you are adventurous...there's frog, turtle, abalone, geoduck clam on the menu. Highly recommend!

Pretty good place and very good food. Some very good deals to be had here especially when they have the BOGO lobster special. The fish we got was kind of unexpected. I originally thought it was more of a stir fry as opposed to actual fried fish. But that’s my own problem for not asking. Service was good yet ok at the same time. They always seemed busy and disorganized. It was hard to get a waiter at times.

Very good Cantonese style family meal! Beef dishes are well prepared as well as other categories. Price is good for generous portion. Best deal is bogo lobster, $11.99!

Good old fashion Cantonese food. We ordered crab, beef, fish, tofu and veggies. Everything was good!

My Mom wanted to come here for lunch to thank my brother for his help with a project. Thank you Bro and thank you Mom! We ordered 7 dishes since there were only 5 of us. When we have more people, we would order double the number. 7 was perfect! There were a couple dishes that were from the dinner menu which was fine. Their complimentary soup for lunch was amazingly tasty. Yum, they do it best! No other restaurant makes it as authentic as they do. I would order that soup to-go any day. Portions were huge. Of course, prices have gone up, but they are justified with the increase in portions. I felt like we were eating dinner portions at lunch prices. Best bang for our buck! All our dishes were very flavorful and tasty. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes really. Staff was very accommodating and attentive as always. They know us from back in the days when they were under the biz name "New Lucky". This restaurant was my Dad's favorite place to eat. We've been customers for more than 2 decades. We will continue to be loyal customers for many more years to come. Thank you Taste of MP for staying true to your craft! Complimentary soup (thank you for seconds!) Pan fried string beans + minced pork Pan fried dried fish + Chinese broccoli Baked squid with spicy salt (dinner price) Rock cod with spicy salt (dinner price) Steamed chicken + mushroom Steam tilipia Shrimp with scrambled eggs

We love coming here!! We also love bringing family and friends when they come in town because there is a lot of seating that can accommodate everyone. The portions are pretty good size and everything is family style. The staff is very kind and often checks up on you often. Our favorite things to get are the eggplant, tofu and pork chop. We also love the orange chicken here! There's plenty of parking outside and great private rooms if you want more intimate setting, the staff is also very accommodating if you have any dietary restrictions or wanna make any changes to any of the dishes. They also have amazing lunch specials available!!

Disappointed!!! We took our father here today to beat early Father's Day crowds. My father is in a wheelchair, and as soon as one of the waiter saw he rudely said "you didn't tell me you have a wheelchair" and implied that he would need to turn us away. How is this acceptable? He simply just needed to move the foldable wall to create more space, which he did begrudgingly. He had an attitude the whole time. On top of that, the food is below average. Save your time and energy and give your business to the other great restaurants in the area.

Wow, the whole crispy piglet. Everyone loved (party of 20)...I tried a piece and I could see why-- skin very crispy, meat succulent...it comes with the head so don't freak out. It's Cantonese style cuisine and proof you got what you paid for head to tail. We were in a private dining room (free!!)...and the area is flexible so can be adjusted to accommodate (we were only two tables) ....my 97- year-old aunt loved her surprise bday banquet ....instead of a package banquet menu (of course they have preset menus) My cousins ordered just favorite foods....but the highlight was the roasted whole piglet. Everyone also enjoyed all things seafood...including a shrimp and candied walnuts dish. By how fast the platter emptied, everyone loved the French style steak with button mushrooms. For birthdays, they also served a bun in the shape of a peach. Very pretty, the paste inside resembles the stuff inside a sesame ball, but not sweet. The place isn't fancy, but the food is authentic and your tummy will be happy. Highly recommend. The owner comes around personally to greet you and gently chastised you for not coming around more often....I don't know how to say in Cantonese " I'm bicoastal and sometimes I'm in Boston." But it's nice she remembers me from when I organized my own moms milestone bday banquet there...from at least three years ago!!! Damn, she's got a good memory!!

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.

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.

An old school Cantonese banquet place. The staff are super nice and the service excellent, though they are somewhat overworked when it's busy. The food is amazing. You can order roast duck as Peking duck whole, or roast duck whole or half which is the duck only with no buns. When ordered peking style I wish the skin was crispier, but the taste is definitely there. The roast duck is great. I always order chow mein with beef- Cantonese twice fried style (leung mein wong). The beef and string beans dish and the string beans with ground pork dish are both excellent. They give you peanuts to snack on as you order, and Chinese dessert at the end which is usually a sweet soup with mung bean or squash. Monterey Park used to have many Cantonese banquet restaurants, however many closed during covid. I'm glad this place survived (had a different name before, but some of the staff have been there for thirty years). Definitely would recommend!!

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.

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 $12.99 3. Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce $12.99 29. Beef with Bitter Melon in Black Bean Sauce $14.99 32. Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce $14.99 57. Preserved Vegetable with Pork Intestine $15.99 We 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.

We ordered to go this time. Diced filet mignon French style (very tender), minced beef soup ( lots of beef),chicken with garlic sauce (hmmm, this is okay), shrimp fried rice (good but very few, was only 2/4 filled of the container), and eggplant Szechuan style (love this dish). I phoned in our order and the person was very nice. My family enjoyed the meal except each of us got a few spoonful of the shrimp fried rice.

Came here on our first night in town. It was such a great meal for my Chinese family (from Michigan). The basil clams were delicious and cooked so well. Not too wet and perfect spice/flavor. The salt & pepper calamari was fried perfectly -- crispy and light. Sometimes restaurants use too much batter and it takes away from the calamari's texture. The geoduck was good but just too pricey ($45-$50 per lb). It just didn't feel like it was worth it. We also didn't like the Peking duck, because they cut it way too thin, and it was literally just the top layer of duck skin with absolutely no meat... not how it's supposed to be done, and I've had a lot of Peking duck. They also use the bao bread and not the thing pancakes. It changes the experience. So it was rather disappointing. The wait staff were all very friendly and provided very good service. They also happen to be from the same hometown as my dad! Always nice talking to people with the same native tongue

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.

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.

My family and I recently came here for lunch and really enjoyed our meal. We arrived on a Saturday morning shortly after they opened at 11 and we were the first guests seated. They have a large parking lot. We routed via Google Maps and were looking for a restaurant called New Lucky Seafood Restaurant, but I guess Taste of MP is the new name. It's confusing that both are listed on Google. Thank goodness the Chinese name is still the same, otherwise we would've driven right past it. The restaurant was a bit smaller inside than I expected, more long than wide, and had a bunch of private rooms. There's no dimsum here, only ordering dishes, which is exactly what we were looking for. Somehow it's really hard to find a Cantonese restaurant where you can order dishes for lunch. They offer lunch specials everyday from 11-5 pm ranging from $12.99 to $15.99. The regular menu is huge and has a wide variety of beef and seafood dishes, including live seafood like fish, crab, and lobster as well as "fancy" stuff like abalone and bird's nest. For the 4 of us, we ordered 5 dishes total, 3 dishes from the lunch special menu and 2 from the regular menu to share (* marks our favorites): Complimentary pork bone soup - really appreciate having a bowl of hot soup to start the meal. We asked for seconds to end the meal as well * Pork belly with preserved vegetables ($15.99) - good mix of less fatty and more fatty pork belly pieces, flavors were really good and went well with rice Kung pao chicken ($13.99) - okay but nothing amazing Chicken chow fun ($14.99) - chicken was well flavored but rice noodles were pretty bland * French style beef stirfry ($22.99) - beef was flavorful and super tender * Live dungeness crab stir fried with ginger and green onion ($22/lb for $55 total) - can't beat live crab!! They only charged us for the dishes and not for the tea or the rice. We had a ton of leftovers at the end of the meal which we took home and ate over the next couple days. Overall we were very satisfied with this spot and will definitely come back!

My friends and I were craving Chinese food, and we settled on Taste of MP. Ordering is easy in Cantonese or Mandarin, but sometimes there may be mistranslations. The entrees that we ordered meets standards but wasn't the most tasty. Watercress Soup: Our group understood the description as fish balls, but these were more like dough-heavy fish patties. They tasted quite weird and a tad sour. The taste also blended into the soup, and it was not tasty. Yang Chow Fried Rice: This was a tasty dish, and the salted fish made this nice. It was a tad too salty, but overall no complaints on this one! Salted Fish with Eggplant: On first sight, this dish looked amazing, but after a few more bites, it got old real quick. The eggplant has no skin, and it is quite limp, making it awkward and too mushy to eat. Salt and Pepper Pork: This dish is a staple, but the one served here was quite mushy with not enough fry. Additionally, it didn't have much of the salt / pepper taste, and this was not a hit with us. French Style Filet Mignon: This dish was very mushy / slightly overcooked with little sear. Overall, it was quite salty and sweet with not enough of a kick from the pepper / spice. Green Beans: Like the other dishes, this, too, was mushy with no crisp. The waiters were present and attentive, but the food itself was not impressive.

When you're coming with a large party, don't hesitate to try this place! Chinese food is always better with more people; more dishes, more variety! My favorite dish here is the chicken soup. Tastes so good and comes in a big enough pot to go around! If it's busy, it can definitely get a little loud. The restaurant is on the smaller side and the staff can get busy. It's better if you go with someone who can speak Cantonese/Mandarin to flag down the staff.

This place is outstanding! Great food and most importantly great service. Staff was very friendly and accommodating to our party of 12. Attentive and patient which is usually not the case for most Chinese restaurants. All of the dishes tasted great. Some included: XO Chow Mein, filet mignon, deep fried tofu, string beans with garlic, honey walnut shrimp, fish filet with black bean sauce, just to name a few. A couple of the dishes I ordered weren't exactly on the menu, but they were flexible and made it the way I asked for. This may sound weird but I always look at how clean or dirty the carpet is. Some restaurants are just disgusting and I feel like I can smell the carpet while I'm eating. Haha. But this place was clean. This will probably be our new go-to spot when we're going out as a big group.

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 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

This might be my go-to Canto restaurant in SGV now. They serve family style Chinese food, pack the food leftovers food for you, and even serve dessert after the meal! They do charge for white rice per adult. Apparently they've switched owners several times, so I hope they can still stick around. This place is special because half of the interior got converted to private rooms separated by floor-to-ceiling dividers. The other side is the kitchen and glass aquariums with live sea creatures (lobster, fish, etc). I highly recommend coming here with at least a group of four. That way you can order a minimum of four dishes to try - seafood, beef, pork, and chicken! I'm too poor for market priced lobster, but I was satisfied with everything else on the menu.

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 think the last time my mom and I came here was when this spot was called New Lucky. They were so bad that my mom sent back a plate...that's almost unheard of for her...it might have been the 1st dish she's ever sent back...and I have yet to experience her 2nd. Their plain bone in chicken is VERY good here. My niece and I spent the whole day gorging on different types of food since she was only here for 2 days and we told her mom that we would only eat a few bites and dinner and we couldn't stop ourselves from eating more than we planned to. Everything we ordered tasted pretty good and the portion sizes were nice and big. They're back on my mother's good list again!

This was my first time coming here for lunch and I gotta say I was pretty impressed for what you get. Taste of MP falls into the category of the old school Cantonese Chinese restaurants that include free soup and free rice. These kinda of restaurants are a dying breed and I'm glad this one exists. Compared to other restaurants that offer free soup and rice, this one is one of the most high end ones. For one, the free soup was actually really good and the free rice was fresh. I've only tried the lunch specials but everything I ordered tasted very good. The portion sizing big, I would say one entree per person on your table if you have big eaters. My favorite is the braised bean curd with brown sauce. It's not too sweet and not too salty. The string bean chicken was a hit. It was crunchy and crispy. It was the first dish in our table to get devoured. We ordered a lot of high protein low carb items and it worked out great. Service here is decent, the wait staff walk around quite often in case you needed anything. The staff helped us pour the soup in our bowls initially. The interior of the place isn't run down but it does have like a high end Chinese restaurant vibe from the mid 2000s. Don't expect like a Haidilao interior. This place does have private rooms in case that's something you want. Parking for the place is pretty easy. It has a very big lot. Caution of the curb exiting to Garvey, it's a bit steep so you need to be careful if you have a low car. Overall, I recommend this place. The food is good, the price is good (for our economy), interior is decently nice, and they also accept Credit Cards. For the lunch specials, it's hard to beat.

Man, the food is good here. Located on one of the main strips on Valley Boulevard in Monterey Park lies this gem of a Chinese restaurant. There is a lot and plenty of street parking. I will say that they are swamped on weekend evenings, so expect a lengthy wait. I do not know if you can call and make a reservation. Almost all the tables are for huge parties, too, so the people eating here are going in with a large party to have a long, fun meal, meaning tables don't flip all that quickly. Staff was perfectly fine, though with so many people to feed, the numerous servers do seem pushed to the limit no matter how many of them are working. But, let's discuss the food. The kung pao chicken is white meat, in case you are wondering, which I love. The taste is excellent. The dry sautéed string beans with pickled olives and pork are also truly fantastic. The house special crab was a deal at $22/lb. and starting at 2 1/2 pounds, which was enough for the missus and I. They seemed to only have red wine by the glass when I went, even though I would've preferred white, but the pour was large, which is a bonus. The only dish I was underwhelmed by was the yang chow fried rice. It was good, but I prefer my fried rice made with dark soy sauce and this is made with light soy sauce, which leads to a much more delicate but in my opinion blander flavor. Also wish they had potstickers and/or scallion pancakes. I'd like to try the squab lettuce cups next time. All in all, I was very impressed with the flavors and quality of the food. I will not hesitate to come back, but probably will do so on a weeknight instead of the weekend, or at least come early on a weekend. Definitely give them a try!

Went here for dinner around 5 :15 pm on a Friday so there is no wait. It's your typical Chinese restaurant with all time Chinese favorites. Everything tasted authentic. Server Tony was very pleasant . Serving size is plenty and we have lots of leftover . Our bill was $66 for 3 dishes plus tip. Dessert is free. The restaurant is spacious and clean . They have private rooms .

Every time my family is in town, we'd crave the chicken soup. It's so good that we would get some to head back home with. The egg yolk crusted pumpkin is also really good! This place is a 10/10 for price, quality and service! Bonus point for the free peanuts as appetizers!

Possibly the best Chinese restaurant in California . Reasonable prices and portions. They roll out the traditional Cantonese sequence such as the soup before main course and tasty beans dessert after. Their servers are professional and always on standby, literally. The most efficient restaurant. Unsure why there aren't more reviews- perhaps because the restaurant is a standalone building in an inconspicuous corner with very few parking spots . Taste of MP is a toast to the classic Chinese restaurants of yesteryear. Highly recommend

Tasty Cantonese food for a very good price! Warnings: they no longer have any traditional chile oil. Sriracha only- which I don't ever use with Cantonese food. Our party of 5 ordered the pork belly over greens, whole fried fish, mixed vegetables with lotus root and wood ear mushroom, beef with wide noodles and bean sprouts, sweet and sour pork chops, and eggplant with minced pork. The eggplant was my favorite. If you grew up with typical Cantonese American dishes, then this is a very nostalgic, homey and dependable place to dine. You will leave stuffed like we did! This place has changed ownership but the food is just the same. The main difference is the private party rooms that line one wall. Solid prompt service, easy parking.

I am giving this restaurant high praise because the food is fantastic and surprisingly for an Asian restaurant, the service is excellent. Few notes to set some context, even though I am ABC, I've traveled to Hong Kong, Macau, and various parts of Mainland China (Beijing, Shang Hai, Xian, Cheng Du, XiaMen, etc). Yes, I eat authentic Chinese food, but I still eat Panda Express. I am able to compartmentalize my cuisine based on location. For Taste of MP, I would club them to restaurants like Henry's Cuisine, Boston Lobster, Delicious food corner, and Top Island. Since I have given a strong feedback for Henry's Cuisine in the past, i am now giving Taste of MP the mantle as of 2025. For food-wise, here are my comments: I think the lobster is fantastic and is somewhat comparable to Boston Lobster. I would still argue Boston lobster or Newport may be better but not by much. Crispy Chicken - I would highly recommend this dish. The chicken is tender and the outside is quite crispy. Beef Cubes - this one is fantastic. My dad is much older now so he cannot eat hard texture. But the beef cubes are nice and tender. Fried Pumpkin with Dan Huang (egg yolk) - this is one is part of the chefs special list. This one is also delicious. Crab with Dan Huang - also part of chefs special which is what I would recommend as well. Kung pao chicken - we ordered this for my niece and nephew who are more ABC than I am. This one wasn't bad. Spareribs (jing du pai gu) - my wife (from Taiwan) typically hates these kind of Americanized dishes. She does not Ike the tangy stuff like sweet and sour or general tso chicken. BUT, she at the least acknowledges this dish was not bad so I give taste of MP kudos for this. Anyway, they have other notable items, but like I said this restaurant is fantastic. For service, the staff members are so nice. They also helped us put stuff away and change out our plates regularly. One side note is that you can reserve a private room if you have a larger party. In my case we had about 12 people so we called in advance to book a room. Just one note is that you need to spend over $300 (if i remembered correctly) for the private rooms, which is not a hard thing to do for a large group.

This restaurant is all-around great for an affordable dinner with delicious classic Chinese dishes. I think every dish I've ordered has come out hot and tasty, which is a rarity for most Chinese restaurants. From the beef filet mignon to the pea sprouts, everything was full of flavor with the perfect textures as well. One of my personal favorites that I don't see often at other restaurants is the Fried Pumpkin, which has a nice chalky-textured, pumpkin-flavored dish that will leave you wanting more. The space isn't huge but there are a couple of private rooms, I believe. All of the staff is super friendly and parking is pretty easy, although can get crowded at times.

Tasty dishes with incredibly nice customer service. Stopped by here for some lunch specials. Saw a few novel things to try, including the steamed chicken and dates dish. Very good dish indeed! Even dishes we were already familiar with did not disappoint. We enjoyed the flavors but what really blew us away was the especially nice service from the staff. One of the waitresses noticed I really enjoyed the soup that comes with the lunch special so she brought out extra for us and later offered to pack some up for us as we were packing up leftovers, which we gladly accepted. How nice is that?? Definitely coming back when we're back in the area.

Celebrated the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Dragon with a large group at Taste of MP that did not disappoint in executing authentic Cantonese cuisine. Even with a packed house, the chefs were able to grind out delicious food in a reasonable time. As the party arrived, complementary peanuts and cucumber salad were provided as starters. We ordered a number of dishes for dinner that were highly enjoyable. Noteworthy dishes were the truffle chicken, a reasonably priced ($48) Peking duck, egg yolk coated fried pumpkin sticks and spicy eggplant. A couple of misses were the minced squab in lettuce cup which was bland and the overpriced ($144) whole steamed live red cod fish. To end the meal, a complimentary sweet red bean soup was served. Service was reasonably good as we were able to secure a private dining room for the group. There were a number of large parties including ours which could have overwhelmed the kitchen, but it was able to reasonably pace service throughout the meal to our satisfaction. The parking lot can get full quickly, but street parking is plentiful. Taste of MP remains a solid Cantonese restaurant that definitely should not be missed. I will certainly be back for an enjoyable and very satisfying meal.

Very well cooked Cantonese dishes and great value We were very impressed with the soup which tasted of pork broth and had some pieces of winter melon and some kind of seed -it reminded me of my mothers old fashioned 4 flavor soup. Delicious and homey. Very impressed with our lunch special plates-whole fried fish, vegetable platter, garlic pork and beef chow fun. Definitely will go back!

This restaurant is actually called New Lucky Seafood Restaurant but outside, it has Taste if MP. I love this place, it has ample parking --- self and not valet. It's open late. Food tastes good and service is perfect. Place is clean and staff are attentive, price is fair.

This location has had many change in ownership and name for years. Hopefully this one can hold up and stick around for long term. Although regardless of change, it had always stayed being a traditional Chinese seafood restaurant. We haven't been here since it has became Taste of MP for some off reason but our friend held a birthday party banquet a few months ago and then we wondered why we haven't tried this place since the change. Almost every item we had was good and the service was the best! You can tell they are trying very hard and I missed how service used to be the way it was and more deserving on tips as it should be by their service and not simply just by the mandatory set percentages. We have tried many items so it's difficult to rate specifically on each and every item we had. Generally, each food item we got was good to great and service superb. This is our 3rd time back now and each time never disappointed. They will take your leftover food and pack it for you like the good old days. We came for lunch as well which was great. They also gave us the private room so the kids can roam n run & scream like no one's business yet we can eat in peace. Prices are still quite costly but thats is almost everywhere now in the area. Parking can be small but there is street parking as well.

I was excited to try this restaurant. The soup tasted very familiar; like the now defunct NYC Seafood that was on the corner of Atlantic and Garvey. I loved NYC so enjoyed the soup. It was down hill from there. I wanted to like it. Most dishes were one dimensional in taste; like salty mostly with no depth in taste. Only orange peel chicken was good but many places make good deep fried chicken. Satay beef was just salty, and black bean fish was just salty. The clams were not cleaned to remove sand so they were crunchy with sand. Service was okay. Cross this one off my list and would not come back.

Every dish came out salty. Chicken is tasteless. Wouldn't recommend coming here for Chinese food.

Dined here for CNY and it was packed but we were able to snag a table before the dinner rush. Everything we ordered was honestly pretty good. I'd say this place is on par with Boston Lobster and Newport Seafood in terms of quality. Would definitely come back.

Fantastic lunch spot. First time here today. They have a gigantic lunch menu, served until 4 pm. Whole steamed tilapia for $16.99! This place will officially enter my rotation for lunch. Big parking lot. Nice dining area, with banquet rooms to the side. Service was efficient and quick. Definitely coming back.

Came here to celebrate Chinese Mid- Autumn celebration with the family. Nice Chinese restaurant with their own parking lot - which is a plus in MPK. Not a big restaurant, but not small either. Typical Chinese restaurant interior with pictures of special dishes on the wall. Service was very good. Servers brought dishes out and organized on our crowded table nicely - mother in law (MIL) tends to order a lot because of Chinese traditions. Dishes were very good. Good size portions and great flavor. Not sure about pricing since MiL ordered and paid. But my MIL is very particular about which Chinese restaurants she goes to for quality and cost - so I trust that this place is fair or better than fair on price. There are a lot of good Cantonese food restaurants in the area - this is another one.

I've been coming here for a long time. Today I got here and that's several people waiting in the lobby. I don't mind waiting. Eventually I got a number and sat down. Maybe 10-15 mins later an elder couple showed up. The older man shouted something to the staff and they went outside. I continued waiting. A few minutes later they came and got the elder couple. I spoke up. I was here first. The guy who got them ignored me. A minute later another guy got me and I got seated next to the elder couple. The dining room was empty. They must have a lot of larger parties. Anyways that confused me. Was it a respect the elders thing? Or maybe they are regulars??

This use to be called New Lucky Seafood. Came on a Saturday night and a wait started a little after 6pm. Staff is very friendly and service was good! If you want to do events or have a small private room they are able to section part of the room with walls up for you. They give you a small plate of roasted peanuts and cold cucumbers as appetizers Parking: small parking lot available Food: Tried a variety of food and all of them tasted great. Some notable mentions: Spicy salt calamari, cold jelly fish plate, Honey walnut shrimp, sautéed string bean all tasted great! For dessert you get a free hot red bean soup dessert
