Service good. Food good. Price okay. Street parking or nearby lot. Overall great HK cafe restaurant in Monterey Park and would return. Outside seems quite modern with large open panel windows. Greeted with friendly aunties upon entering. The inside features a spacious layout, quite elegant and well decorated. Not busy for Friday night. Our party of three ordered the following. - Salted fish, diced chicken, and eggplant in clay pot - Pork ribs w/ honey & garlic - Chinese sausage w/ rice in clay pot The food quality was good - seasoned well and savory enough to eat without rice. The Chinese sausage dish was mediocre and would not recommend as much as the others. IMO price could be better for the quality. Still would recommend to try this restaurant.

Food is yummy. I've been here 4 times now. I posted images of all the dishes I liked. Also, their Hong Kong style lemon tea is very good as well. The service is stellar and can't really ask for much better. The restaurant interior is also very nice. It's a more modern and clean restaurant.

Longten is an absolute gem and a personal favorite! I've brought both friends and family here, and everyone leaves completely satisfied. Everything is cooked to order, ensuring that each dish is fresh and piping hot. Trust me, every single plate is worth the wait. My all-time favorite has to be the BBQ pork rice roll. The delightful wrinkle texture of the rice noodles and the soft, fluffy bites are drool-worthy. I've never tasted rice rolls this fresh anywhere else! And their chicken steak with garlic sauce? Absolutely divine. It's crispy, perfectly seasoned, and the chicken thighs are incredibly juicy. I always pair my meals with their lemon iced tea. They keep the cup filled to the brim, ensuring you're refreshed throughout your meal. If you're eyeing the clay pots, prepare for a bit of a wait, but believe me, the steamy, flavorful goodness is well worth it. The quality at Longten surpasses many other Hong Kong cafes nearby. It's the go-to spot for hot, fresh, and delicious authentic Asian cuisine. There's something for every palate, and they excel at everything they do. The staff are excellent, and there's plenty to go around. Plus, the free underground parking is a great bonus. I can't stay away for too long--the food is just too good! I'll keep coming back, and I highly recommend you bring your whole clan here. It's an experience not to be missed!

I'm lovin' these retro looking Cantonese cafes. It brings me back to late 80s, early 90s Hong Kong movies. White dresses, big hair, bright red lipstick, lighted checkerboard window walls in a nightclub and an appearance by either Simon Yam, Chow Yun Fat, Eric Tsang or Maggie Cheung. Longten has an unassuming 2nd floor entrance that is not street facing and is above a recessed parking structure (parking is free). It has a puke yellow ceiling that gives way to a luminescent high ceiling. This is sooo late 80s and so fitting. They have booths and tables. Beef w/ Black Bean Sauce Chow Mein (double yellow crispy style) - This dish is my custom order when I have haven't been to an Hong Kong cafe for awhile. Usually the Beef w/ Black Bean Sauce is served with thick white chow fun rice noodles but most places can easily substitute in crispy noodles instead if you ask. They did up the noodle nice and crispy and there was plenty of tender beef slices to go with the onions, red bell peppers and green bell peppers. Everything was as expected which is a good thing. Pineapple Bun w/ Butter ($3.95) - When they put a pineapple bun on a menu at an HK cafe, it is really hard for me to resist. I know I can buy it an Chinese or Taiwanese bakery. But at a restaurant the crusted crumbly top just crumbles harder. The fat pat of butter seems like an overdone luxury. I'm worth it. The have a lot of the HK cafe staples here. Sandwiches, congee, stir fry dishes, wonton noodles, rice noodles, chow mein, combo dinner platters like pork chop and chicken. Portion size is good, prices reasonable and service was quick. Sure there a number of HK cafes in the area. I like Longten because the food is solid and it's less hectic than some of the more popular places. There was no wait for me to be seated on a Saturday night. And oh, that early 90s Hong Kong night club vibe.
