Elite Restaurant

You have to fill out an order card here instead of the carts, but it's worth it. The food is delicious, clean and affordable. We enjoyed the baby bok choi and the pork steamed bums. The black pepper spare ribs were wonderful.

Elite Restaurant is your typical Chinese restaurant that serves Dim Sum during lunch and traditional family style Chinese cuisine in the evenings.



The dim sum here is really good but it is a bit on the pricier end. There aren't any carts, but instead you order from a menu. The benefit is your food never comes out cold and is always freshly cooked. Definitely makes for better quality food.



In the evenings they some really good family style dishes. The current promotion is the buy 1 get 1 free lobster which is an awesome deal. Although the lobster is small at 1-1.5 lbs, you essentially get 2-3 lbs for about $10. The thing to know is, you can only have it cooked the traditional green onion and ginger style, otherwise they'll charge you a sur charge for the other style.



Still all in all, a very good restaurant in Monterey Park.

The dimsum here is good enough be 2nd or 3rd best in SGV. But if you want THE best, trust me, ignore the other reviews here and go to Sea Habour Seafood. 'Nuff said.

Monterey Park can be said to be the new China Town. No longer do you have to travel to downtown to get good Chinese food. Here in Monterey Park a person can try authentic Chinese food without the hassle of getting stuck in downtown traffic. There are many places to choose from and it depends in what you are looking for. If you like the traditional hot carts coming around your table, then there are plenty of other restaurants in the city you can go to. But if you want to be served and have your Dim sum brought to you hot and fresh then I highly recommend Elite. The Hargaw is awesome and so are the many other dishes such as the Lotus leafs, Sumai and the Macau egg tart. I have lived in the city for 2yrs ever since I got married and have tried many of the great places here and one cannot get better service nor better dim sum then Elite. I look forward to every weekend walking down to Elite and sharing Dim sum with friends and family. Some come as far as Rowland Heights. I do recommend you come early around 9am because by 10 the line starts. The seating is nice and so are the people. You say you don’t know what to order, the menus have pictures and the menu is in English and Chinese. You can even ask the staff in black coats for help. Do what I do look over your shoulder and order what looks good. You can’t go wrong. See you there on Saturdays; I’m the guy with Zyzzx cap
