New (well, fairly) to Monterey Park: E&J Yummy Kitchen

decided to try the place and there were plenty of people waiting for seats when i left.

pass on the non-cantonese items such as the scallion pancake and the dumplings. the pancake is roughly 5" in diameter both they and the dumplings look like they come out of a bag.

the wonton in the #4 wonton mein special were quite…underwhelming.

the rice rolls (chang fun) were the most interesting items we had, though the construction was somewhat haphazard compared to the ones you normally find at dim sum



they’re quite a bit thinner, which makes them more difficult to roll. the addition of egg was a nice touch. as was the ability to get one with fish. but the additions are more or less added as toppings. and at $3.25, i’d rather get them at dim sum.

while there were plenty of people waiting for seat as we left, i don’t think that many of them were repeat customers. i would encourage to hurry to try this place mainly so you can say you tried them before they went out of business.

no channeling of joe bob briggs for this one.
