Kam Hong Garden — Restaurant in Monterey Park

It looks like Kam Hong Garden has gone through a menu renovation. The dishes that they serve seem to be different from the ones I had tried a few years ago. They don't have xiao long bao (which is what I wanted when I walked into the store), but they do offer a variety of noodle soups, dry noodles, rice, dumplings, wraps, etc. And with the noodles, there are three different types you can order from!

The beef noodle soup was really good! I was pleasantly surprised at how much meat was in the dish. They also had a good amount of green onion and cilantro that garnished the soup. The beef was tender and soft, the soup had rich flavor and wasn't too spicy ... but it was the thick hand-cut noodles that was the star of the meal. I love thick noodles, and I especially loved Kam Hong's thick cut noodles! Chewy, but not too dough-y, there was enough substance yet the noodles still carried the flavor of the broth. If I needed to be picky about this dish, I would say that the soup could have a little more flavor. There wasn't enough noodles, but we did have a lot of beef and soup left, so I would recommend ordering an extra plate of noodles (maybe even something different!) so you can have enough noodle to complement the beef and soup.

We also ordered the beef wrap - I remember the visit before, I had griped that they put too much melon into the wrap. But this time, even though there was a substantial amount of cucumber, it didn't detract from the beef or the sweet barbecue sauce! And the skin was crispy! I really liked that there was melon inside because it gave the wrap a sweetness that most other restaurants don't have. I think there were five total wraps ... we could only finish two!

tl;dr - Overall, great lunch. Prices weren't too costly - we paid a little under $20 for two people. The service was okay. I think the restaurant has a new owner (seems like a family business), which is nice since it's always great to support family owned businesses! Good amount of air conditioning on a great day! I would definitely come here again ... the beef noodle soup beat Bull Demon King...

My wife and I have been here twice since since the COVID pandemic started. We were looking for new places to try and stumbled across this hole-in-wall place. Both times the service was quick and the food was delicious. This is a local mom and pop restaurant with reasonable prices and large portions. We order the lamb soup noodles, tomato egg flat noodles, and the beef roll. The lamb soup noodle is packed with ingredients, very flavorful without being to salty. However, I think it would have been better if they gave us more soup - maybe the there was just too much ingredients. My favorite dish was the tomato egg noodles. The noodles (flat, wide noodles) had just the right amount of chewy (QQ) texture and hold very well with the sauce. It was a bit sweet and tangy. The cucumbers added a refreshing contrast to the dish. It's a very simple dish yet very comforting. My wife really liked the beef roll - nothing special, just delicious. We really hope they can get more support during this difficult time. Cash only, parking available in a shared...

My wife and I both love Asian food and my wife has been wanting hand made noodles. We live in the San Fernando Valley and we haven't found any hand made noodles in our area. So I looked on the Internet for the best hand rolled noodles and Kam Hong Garden came in second. I told my wife that we were going to dinner but I didn't tell her where. We drove for over 1hrs in the rain 🌧️ and traffic. We were greeted and sat down right away. Their menus are different from the picture on the website. We ordered the Beef Stew with Hand Rolled Noodles Soup and also the Leek with Minced Shrimp Boiled Dumplings and also the Saute Spicy Shrimp 🦐. We were so surprised when they brought out the food. The portions were huge and so very flavorful. Their Hand Rolled Noodles were the best Noodle we've ever eaten. If you want real Hand Rolled Noodles this is the restaurant that you have to come to. We took our leftovers home and had a wonderful lunch...
