Monterey Park Reviews
Rating 4.06 out of 5 156 reviews
As an Asian American, Monterey Park is extremely accepting of minorities as opposed to other communities I've encountered. There are a wide variety of cuisines available in Monterey Park which can tailor to my personally picky tastes quite well. In addition to the food, there is a multitude of family-friendly entertainment places like movie theaters, arcades, and escape rooms. The suburban setting allows residential areas to be quiet and undisturbed while also providing many shops and restaurants in concentrated areas that are easy to drive to. Schools in Monterey Park are all highly rated in academics and include much cultural diversity among students.
As an Asian American, I feel very included in this Asian populated city filled with many boba shops, supermarkets, and great small businesses. I recommend Mandarin Noodle House and Twisteas to support Asian run food businesses.
Monterey Park is a very Asian-American community, which is great culturally because everyone feels comfortable and included in this neighborhood. The town is very peaceful, so it's safe and does not have a lot of dangerous actions going around, which is what I expect everyone to like. As an Asian-American community, they hold a lot of celebrations and cultural events such as Cherry Blossom Festival, Lunar New Year Festival, and many other eventful carnivals where everyone comes to gather. A street is blocked off in order to hold rides, a ton of food stalls, and areas to purchase other merchandise. Everyone comes out to have a good time and spend quality enjoyment with their friends.
