Shaka's Restaurant
2300 garfield ave. #d monterey park, ca 91754 hawaiian restaurant and kind of like "the max" for mark keppel high school students.
This is the San Gabriel Valley, which in Monterey Park primarily means: delicious, authentic Asian food.
Other recommended restaurants include Mandarin Noodle House at the intersection of Garvey and Chandler, Zagat rated; 501 it's real name is Gourmet Delight but 501 is what me and my friends call it located at 501 S. Atlantic; Empress Harbor for dim-sum Atlantic and Garvey; JJ's Cafe is a Monterey Park classic, old school Hong Kong style San Gabriel Valley cafe located at Garvey and Ynez. Have not personally been, but have had Hong Kong Cafe on Garvey and Victory French Restaurant on Garvey, and Bollini's on Garfield recommended to me. Osho Sushi on Chandler Avenue is gorgeous inside, with authentic and super fresh sushi. Sushi Sai on Atlantic holds a special place in my heart my Japanese friend recommends their salmon skin salad.
