Cui Hua Lou - Monterey Park

Loved it! Usually I go for spicey dishes, but I was really feeling like the lamb noodle soup, it was super tasty. Staff was fun, enjoyed the experience! Would come again if in LA :

I came here for the $1.00 lamb skewers that my friends were bragging about and they did not disappoint. Not only were they only $1.00 per skewer, if you ordered ten skewers, then you got one FOR FREE. WOW. Like their prices weren't already crazy low, they gotta throw a complimentary one in there too? Impressive. The place is tiny, maximum capacity of 13 people, according to the fire department. Restaurant is clean though and not cluttered at all. Service is friendly and excellent. When you walk in, the ladies are there in the corner sliding the raw meat onto the sticks, so you know they're super fresh. I would totally make the drive for those skewers again. They were cooked to perfection- slightly fatty, moist and perfectly seasoned with the right amount of cumin. Loved it!

Food is SO good here..the first time we came we met the owner who is a sweetheart and made sure we had a good experience. The second time they were soo packed! The other servers are not as friendly, but its what you expect from Asian restaurants haha..food is great..so far I have tried their skewers, lamb casserole hot pot and their hot and sour noodles :

Owner is very personable. Food is cheap. Skewers are awesome, stews are excellent. Pro-tip: Get 10 skewers, get 1 free.

Great entrees and portions. Skewers were overpowered in cumin spice i think though. Saw several people with hot pots which I want to try next time.
