Pistachio Kitchen - Monterey Park

Yum. Sooo yum! They put butter on all the bread so I took it off to avoid a heart attack and an unnecessary spike in my cholesterol (there is already sugar or syrup for the bread so it?s not needed). My friend took me here to try legit Hong Kongbreakfast. It did not disappoint! My favorite was the pineapple bun. It was perfectly crispy and tasty and I love it plain (nocustard inside)!! My second favorite was the thick french toast with peanut butter inside (and syrup on the side). Mmm acombination I would have never thought of but it was so tasty!! I also like how they combine coffee and milk tea! But the eggthey brought out was very unappetizing and not how I like eggs cooked. Service is stinky in the sense where my friend raisedher hand and it still took awhile for someone to come by. But! The waiter spoke canto and English so I could easily talk tohim. Sitting outside was nice?.until flies started landing on my food -___- but it depends if you are willing to wait forinside seating. I was not and I suffered for it. Oh and parking is pretty awful. The lot is super small. I ended up parking inthe neighborhood area and walked a block but I guess it was good since I ate so much! Overall, it was really delicious and Ican?t wait to bring people here to have a great experience like I did! Thanks to my friend ;0)

The service at this restaurant is quick, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious. The porridge is especially tasty and I really enjoyed it. My daughter tried the Ovaltine French toast, which was unique and she really enjoyed it. We both had the Hong Kong style milk tea and noodle bowl, which we both loved. This is definitely a place I will visit again whenever I am in LA.

I was recommended to try this restaurant but was told to be cautious about the service and wait times. However, we did not have to wait long for a table, service, or our food. The service, contrary to what I had heard, was not rude at all. Despite being very busy, all of the employees were working hard. The menu is extensive and we tried a variety of dishes, all of which were delicious. I hope to return to try more items next time I am in the area. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as many to-go orders.

An excellent choice for those craving Hong Kong-style fast food. I visited for a late Saturday brunch and was pleased to find parking right next to the restaurant. The majority of the staff are able to speak Cantonese and are very friendly. While the curry fish ball didn't quite measure up to authentic Hong Kong street food, the ovaltine French toast was delicious and not overly sweet. The grilled chicken pineapple bun was also quite tasty. Unfortunately, the iced lemon tea, a signature item for Hong Kong-style fast food, was disappointing - lacking flavor. Overall, I may return in the future but hope to see improvements in certain menu items.

Our top HK cafe style restaurant. Our friends drive 4 hours+ to come here. Every single dish we ordered was incredible yet reasonably priced. Aside from their famous pineapple buns, highly recommend the egg yolk shrimp. The pea shoots were some of thebest I've ever had. We will be paying a visit every time we're in MP!
