Pho 79
your typical vietnamese restaurant but a little bigger, it may look eerily dark from the outside but don't let that stop you bc their food is reasonable and pretty good.
Garden Cafe
this place was never really good in my opinion, i think it changed its name recently too.. but it's just americanized asian food, nothing really special.
Kee Wa Bakery
their baked goods are common among many of monterey park. simple but yummy snacks. however, the only thing is they're a bit dirty and i often see flies in their glass showcase of cakes..
Diamond Bakery
my preferred choice between kee wah bakery and this as they're across the street from each other. diamond's a lot brighter and cleaner and has a nice variety!
The Boiling Crab
don't let the bib and the decorations trick you.. they serve you a plastic bag with seafood and seasoning and you get to forage for your own meal. it's also very dark which scares me a bit.
Luminarias Restaurant
usually the center for any banquets of the sort locally. depending on what you order, the food's not too bad. it's more affordable than monterey hill restaurant and the service is usually pretty nice
Regal Cinemas
the place is definitely the nicer of the two and usually has the newer movies. it's spacious and the seats are so comfortable. the food is always overpriced so just bring your own snacks.
Lee's Tofu
their tofu is amazing! it's delectable and affordable and it's yummy to snack on. their soymilk is really good too and you'll find yourself craving for their tofu all the time.
Pronto Donuts
the food is yummy and their beverages are good for the price too. conveniently located on an easily accessible corner but i wish it wasn't so dirty...
Peach House
peach house has the most sour yogurt ever. their toppings are lackluster even though the decorating's kinda pretty. but there's so little room, there's practically only 3 chairs so good luck finding a place to sit.
