Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Monterey Park

Hands down the most delicious food I’ve had in LA. It’s worth multiple visits.

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and had the most spectacular experience from beginning to end! The drinks were great, and food FANTASTIC. The appetizers and shareables were so good and well prepared, and so was the bread!! We had to stop ourselves from inhaling it all so we can enjoy the delicious ribeye that was cooked perfectly. To tie it all together, our waitress Erica was truly a gem, and the sommelier Courtney just as lovely. Thank you, Gwen team, for the fun and memorable experience!

Amazing food, the best. I go at least once a month!!!

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at The Little Door, and it was such a beautiful experience. I had the 14 oz Prime Creekstone Ribeye Steak, he had the Creekstone Filet Mignon, and we shared the Escargot de Bourgogne, Portuguese Piri Piri Shrimp, and warm Housemade Parker Roll. Every dish was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Our server, Lilith, was incredibly attentive, and the bus staff kept everything flowing smoothly—they cleared plates promptly, filled our water glasses as soon as they were low, and even brought out a new bottle when the first one ran out. The ambiance inside is magical—romantic, intimate, and ideal for a special night out. It was the perfect place to celebrate, and we’ll absolutely be back.

Always a great experience at Almansor Court. We come here every year for Easter and Mother's Day brunch.
