“Obsessed with this place for breakfast, I tried a little bit of everything (thanks to the people I went with). The pepper bacon, potatoes, waffles, raspberry lemon pancakes, sourdough toast. Everything was delicious! The service was great too.“
“TK Cafe Hawaiian BBQ in uptown Monrovia provided a satisfying experience all around. It’s a small family-run counter serve operation with great Hawaiian inspired plate lunch comfort food, especially for meat lovers.The place is tucked in a corner of the Vons mall at the southwest corner of Myrtle and Foothill, so plenty of free parking. The chef and manager Ken took my order and was very friendly and helpful to recommend certain specialties on their menu.I ordered the Chicken Combo (BBQ Chicken and the crispy Katsu Chicken) and the Hawaiian BBQ Mix (BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef, and substituted Teriyaki Chicken in place of Kalbi Beef). Both plates come with two scoops of white rice and a scoop of Mac Salad. See images.Their BBQ Chicken is definitely a specialty, flavorful, and both combos I received were a generous serving of the moist and flavorful chicken.I would go back the next time I’m in the mood for Hawaiian plate lunch and would recommend 5 stars compared to other local counter serves in Monrovia.“
“We tried the diamond set. The meat quality of the 1st round was really good. But the quality of a5 wagyu was not as good after the 1st round. Sweet shrimp was not that fresh, and the steam egg portion was too big. The wagyu sandwich was not good at all and way too dried. Overall, it was a great experience.“
“Interior is small but parking is decent, and I think the food is hit or miss depending on what you order. But for the most part the fried chicken katsu is a good option; the bone in fried chicken that others seem to like was a little dry for me. There is a catering menu and seemingly they are a good option for gatherings. The owners work here and are very sweet Asian couple. They will always smile and engage in conversation with you. Top Restaurant has been in business for a long time so they are doing lots of things right!“
“We came here on a weekday evening at around 6pm and had no wait. They have only one option for dining at this Chubby Cattle location, which is an AYCE menu including Wagyu, pork, seafood, appetizers like Wagyu tartare and salmon carpaccio, rice, sushi and soup. For $65.99 (non-member price) per person, you definitely get what you pay for here!“
“I was craving something similar to yoshinoya while in the area and came across this place. I ordered a chicken bowl which arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. First thing I noticed was this place packs the food to the brim. The lid was barely hanging onto the bowl. There was plenty of well seasoned chicken cooked teriyaki style and generous amounts of veggies. The portion was way bigger than what I was expecting. The rice underneath was soft and fluffy too. Overall, this place served a very delicious chicken bowl. For the cost and quantity+quality of the food, it was definitely worth it. I'll be coming back to try other items on the menu.“
“I’ve been to this place a few times but never wrote the review for it. First of all, in this area, this is the best bbq spot. With that being said, the customer service upon entering the restaurant was sketchy at first but it got better as I stayed to order my food. I had to drive here to order because the phone never got answered nor did the online service work. I got the chicken sandwich, 1/2 chicken, fries, mac & cheese, and Cole slaw. The sandwich was good, the chicken was okay and the sides were decent. You can dine in if you want but at the time I went, they were really busy so the wait from what I seen was about 15 to 20 minutes. I don’t think they take reservations. I would say to go and visit the place for yourself. It is worth the drive if you’re in the area. I would not say drive from LA to come here when there are other spots along the way.“
“I have always been a huge fan of Mongolian BBQ. The Golden Palace did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the service was superb, and the prices were outstanding. A very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The only thing I would suggest is that if you are an amateur or new at this, to ask the employees for their recipe of each ingredients to fit your taste, whether it be spicy, sweet, or whatever you fancy. We will definitely be back to the Golden Palace Mongolian BBQ again“
“Dined here for lunch on Sunday, and I was so happy that my friends picked this restaurant! We started off with yukhoe (raw beef), a variety of pork dishes and seafood pancake. Everything tasted great, and staff members stopped by frequently to help us cook and enjoy the BBQ. It was crowded but we had no wait as we were there earlier for lunch.“
“The foods were awesome, and my favorite was actually the chicken skin and pork intestine. The pork intestine wasn’t smelly like you get from other restaurants. The flavor of the chicken skin was sweet and crunchy. The food got here very fast and we finished all the food within an hour. It is a great place to gather up with friends!“
“I had the brisket sandwich, and my wife had the iceberg wedge.I had the brisket at the suggestion of the cashier/waitress, and I was not disappointed. I can't remember eating a more tender brisket anywhere. I usually shy away from brisket when I eat out because it's usually tough, not very tender. I'm so glad I tried it.My wife had the iceberg wedge. It did not look like your typical wedge salad. This thing was like a boat of flavorful toppings. Bleu cheese crumbles, bacon bits, even the cherry tomatoes on it were good.I definitely recommend traveling here to eat, even if it's out of your way.“
“Huge portions I got the Fried Noodles and Rice combo (not on the menu, small extra charge) and the steak and vegetables. It came in two boxes - one for the noodles and rice and the other just stuffed full of steak and vegetables (cabbage, zucchini) Only 14 dollars I think - with a can of soda The service is great - just one guy, and he's super friendly. Makes the food, gives it to you. I think he's making a lot of stuff to order so that's good - you can hear him chopping stuff fresh. Ambience is non-existent - but you don't care cause you're there for good food for a good price. All in all, a great, fast, inexpensive meal. Just so you know - it's just one guy taking orders and making it, so be nice and be patient. It didn't take very long“
“We love CURRY! We just arrived here from Florida and are so hungry. Curry Hut was so gracious and helped us out with Chicken Tikka Masala, Potatoes and Cauliflower and fresh rice and two large pieces of Garlic Naan! Everything was yummy!!! Support this amazing restaurant!“
“First time at Rodney's. Tried the Brisket Sandwich. The brisket was perfectly cooked, nicely smokey and tender.I didn't like his style of BBQ sauce. It was too sweet for me. I may buy some brisket by the pound to make my own sandwich. Rodney is super friendly and really seems to care about getting it right. Professional.“
“Food: 4/5 The crispy pork was a bit hard and dry and the beef tendon slices was too thin and can grill a little longer so that it doesn't taste rubbery. However, the rest of the items were very flavorful and juicy. I have tried a few skewer places and I have to say, the quality and amount of meat is very good. Service: 5/5 Our server was nice and he called out the name of the items he brought out. Ambience: 4/5 Love the overhead projectors and the big screens all around the walls. They also have a good selection of playlists. However, the bench can use a bit better cushioning because it was kind of low. All in all, it's a good skewer place to eat with friends. I would come back again and recommend this place if you want good quality meat and affordability.“
“Kim Tar's roast duck is the best in the area. The Hainan chicken is of very high quality. Somehow Kim Tar's taste is different among the Chinese BBQ's in the area and good/authentic. We've been coming here for 20 years, having our get together and bday celebrations here. Staff is very friendly.“
“Extremely clean, fast service, most importantly great food that I can see being put together in front of me. I like seeing my food made in front of me. Try it, trust me it’s worth it. Try the chicken or pork with lavash. Or the bread they’re both amazing“
“Best barbeque I've ever eaten. As a Texan, it's a shame I have to admit it's from California. The place is take-out only, but it's a great neighborhood so eating inside or on the hood of your car is no issue. Will definitely eat again the next time I'm in the area.“
“The place is a bit small for eat inside, they got few tables and chairs but good for little family or couples. This time i order for take away.I lobe their "Lunch special Combo" menu which is you may choice the ribs between beef or pork, then there's side dish : rice with gravy, french fries, mash potato with gravy and coleslaw.You can mix it for the side dish, sample my order have : 1 coleslaw + french fries, 1 rice with gravy + french fries, etc. You can choose what you love.I recommended the rice with gravy, the rice so soft with thr gravy makes you want more and more. The lunch packages includes 1 chicken already inside it.So if you order 1 Lunch special combo, it will consist : 1 chicken + 1 choice of ribs (pork or beef), and 2 kinds of side dish. And the price for Lunch special combo is $ 19.50 + tax 10.25%.Here i share the menu and price beside Lunch special combo :* BBQ Chicken combo $ 13.99 (which is you get 2 chicken inside it.* Beef/Pork Rib dinner $ 27.50 (which is you get 2 ribs of each beef or pork you choose)* Rib meal $ 27.50 (which is you get 4 bones of pork ribs 2 bones of beef ribs)* also have add on such as 1 chicken piece also the add on for side dish start from $ 3.75 -14.95.For my self this 1 box of lunch set, i could eat it for 2 times, cos its bit big for me.So lets go and try it!*“
“Went In for lunch with my wife. I had the teriyaki beef lunch special. It came with Miso Soup, small salad, teriyaki beer with steamed rice, and a crispa California roll. Food was good but my only gripe with it was that the steamed rice tasted a bit old and hard. I also asked for spicy Mayo to go with my sushi roll, but I never got it. The waitress didn't really check up on us, but overall the food was pretty good.“
“The ribs literally melt in your mouth. So tender and juicy. The tri-tip was absolutely amazing and the chicken omg the chicken was so good. Love the BBQ sauces especially the habanero, not to spicy, actually sweet with a kick. DO NOT for get to try the pickles!!! My wife, mother in law, and myself shared "the pit boss" plate and it fed us with left overs. Before I forget the cheesecake so moist and delicious just like their cornbread. 100/10 will be back again“
“I highly recommend this restaurant! The Grilled Pork Ribs were outstanding! The quality of the vegetable dishes exceeded my expectations-fresh, crisp and tasty. When looking for a simple but delicious meal Fork Over Pork is the place to be!!! Customer service-stellar.“
“12.02.23 We were in the area and I googled Filipino food and this one was top three on options to consider. Service was the best - kind, caring, and really nice front counter reps. Plenty of combo options to choose from and pics on the side walls are pretty good help. Not exactly sure how to rate Atmosphere because the restaurant is inside 99 Ranch market. It's pretty clean eating area which is across the order area and past the spacious entrance.“

“Got the liempo meal! Meat is so flavorful and you get a lot for the price. We ordered take out and it was ready just when they said it would be. I would definitely recommend calling ahead because it can take some time to prepare. Love the lights and the outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. I’ve also had the bangus belly meal which is also really tasty.“
“The food was great not a lot but good the bread pudding was awesome. Juan our server was wonderful. I took my friend there for her Birthday lunch first time for both of us after spending $80.00 I noticed a charge on my bill for extra barbecue sauce. First of all the sauce comes in a small small amount and to charge for extra is just wrong, that was our only complaint.“
“Enjoyed the food here! The restaurant is really small and a hole in the wall spot. I also don't think it's the same as the other Little Skewer location but regardless, I liked the food. One downside is that they didn't serve alcohol when I went. Not a huge deal to me but their plates you eat on are disposable plates. They also don't give you the spices to dip your food in but the food was already well seasoned so it wasn't really necessary. Overall, the prices are really good and the flavor of each dish has lots of flavor so everything was delicious. The lamb, beef, squid, and chicken wings were good and all came out fresh. The oyster was also sizzling when it came out and it was huge. It comes in one piece and order but the oyster is literally the size of your hand. The mala tang had really good flavor but kinda wished there were more noodles inside.“
“As soon as I walked in with my husband the food smells so delicious & taste great too! We had to come back & get more. Great service & quick too. Most definitely recommend coming in & trying it out. Best Hawaiian bqq! Love the loco moco here.“
“The Hainan chicken rice combo set for 2-3 people is a must-get. The chicken is smooth and juicy, with skin, no bones. It comes with chicken broth, marinated cucumbers, spiced peanuts, chicken broth rice, and two condiments (ginger scallion oil and a sour sweet chili sauce). I also like the potato noodle soup. The soup includes quail eggs, small meatballs tofu skins, kelp noodles, and baby bok choy.“
“This is one of my bf and my's favorite little cafe's, serving up delicious and authentic Greek specialties. Today we had my favorite - the Beef Moussaka (eggplant layered with beef in sauce, topped with bechamel) served with roasted potatoes and vegetables, and an excellent Greek Salad. We often get their flatbread stuffed sandwiches. Prices are reasonable at $25 for the moussaka dinner (I took home half) and $8. for the salad. Easy parking in their lot. The gentleman who often serves us is very friendly. As everything is made to order, this is not a place to come if you want "fast casual" because it takes awhile to receive your food, but it will be served hot and perfectly made. Great for take out and family meals.“
“Great food in a fun and new atmosphere. They have the standard- yummy Thai dishes. We tried their Pad Thai and it was delicious. What makes this place stand out is the colorful atmosphere. From bright green and orange chairs to the "street fair" decor- it's a fun place to visit.“
“The size of their dim sum is double of other restaurants or take outs. Cash only keeps their prices reasonable. They also offer noodle dishes but I come specifically for the shumai and har-gow.Parking: Parking gets tight during busy hours but service is fast, depending on ur order so people vacate the parking spots frequently.“
“This review is only for the oolong milk tea and service. This place also serves food. But I came in for the oolong milk tea. Really good. Met my expectations and the price was perfect! Service was really good. The woman working was Very nice and polite. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely come back. Ps: I found this place because I searched up "boba". Turns out this place used to be or is affiliated with "Quickly". S“
“The waiter recommended the Caldo de Gallina and Wow great recommendation…it was super tasty and just the right amount of serving and the price was fair. The service was wonderful I would recommend this place if your looking for fresh clean meal.“
“Even if the interior needs a lot of work, the food doesn't. The roast pork is divine! So crispy on the outside and juicy and tasty on the inside. Dip it into the hoisen sauce, and it's perfect. I couldn't try the char sui because they ran out the day I went (late). I will try it next time with the roast duck. It's $21.99/lb for the roast pig. It's well worth it. I also got the eggplant shezwan style, dry string beans, salt & pepper rock cod fish fleet, and clams with black bean sauce. All of it was superb, not too salty, as a lot of Chinese food can be. This is my new go-to Chinese BBQ place from now on!“
“I always pass by here and decided to eat here. Me and my children love the food. "The food was delicious" one child said. The staff were so amazing and super friendly. Excellent customer service. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I had a great experience here and will definitely come again. P.S. get the cheesecake ?“
“Great food, I know that there isn't that much reviews at the moment but it's a new restaurant. The skewers are delicious and the ambience is amazing. If you go you got to try the yuzu shots, pretty strong and really really good. My whole group gets the 24 pack and it's always a good time“
“Great little local gem!Pricing straight forwardWe stop by here when we go see my mother in law, have had lunch and dinner service here multiple times, always shocked at the low cost.Give it a shot, but fair warningPlace is older, clean, friendly but older so don't be expecting fluff and glam, it's just a BBQ and Hot Pot place!We will definitely be back!“
“Very busy place on a Friday night, and a nice selection of items on the menu. The pastrami was amazingly good, I'm so glad I chose it over the brisket - tender and full of flavor. The beef short rib was also very good, moist and tender but not fatty, although the rub was excessively salty. Pickles were perfectly pickled and crunchy. Mud pie was the choice of dessert for several at our table and was enjoyed all around. The service was sufficient but not stellar - some hospitality faux pas like serving drinks by holding the rim, and not bussing any dishes from the table until the very end of the meal. I'd definitely return for more of the delicious meat!“
“Review for drinks only!It's been years since I have had monja taiker. I was nearby getting banh mi and decided to pop in to get a drink. I've only dined in once. But I have had their drinks many times. I got the black milk tea with boba. The drink was as creamy and delicious as I remember. There aren't many boba locations on this side of Garvey.“
“Located in "The Village" of downtown Glendora. Calm atmosphere, outdoor dining, not a whole lot of auto traffic, kid friendly.....Now the food. House made potato chips, yes please! Pulled bbq pork on atrisan bread....excellent. Choice of salads as well, mixed greens, ceasar etc. Beer? Yes'um. Several small craft choices and yeah...the usual light stuff too.“
“I've been coming here for 30+ years. I used to come so often that they would know me just from my order since I always ordered the same thing. For a brief period I didn't come here because they had changed up their menu and didn't offer Satay Chicken lunch specials anymore. But looks like they recently changed owners and I'm happy to say that the Satay Chicken Lunch and Dinner specials are back. Even better, the satay chicken is even more delicious and juicier than before. Service is great and the new owners are very friendly and welcoming.“
“I get Mixābowl whenever I’m in town - I get the Ramen N’ Rice and my partner gets the customizable bowl. Everything tastes so goodI wish there was one near me ? the lady who runs the shop here at the mall is so sweet. Def recommend checking it out, it’s affordable too!“
“The best skewers ever. We drove seven or eight hours from Northern California to eat. The ingredients are fresh and taste great. There is a man who looks like the boss and is very nice. We were served quickly knowing we were hungry. Thank you for the delicious food. See you next month.“
“Ahi Hawaiian Barbecue is my go to place when it comes to Hawaiian cuisine. I really love this place. The food is always savory and flavorful. The service is fast and the employees are very friendly and accommodating. Since I am regular customers in this place, so by now I have my favorite dishes that I ordered frequently which are;- BBQ Mix Combo Plate; for meat lovers. It includes BBQ ribs, BBQ beef and BBQ chicken in addition to mac and rice - Seafood Mix includes;crispy fish, shrimps and bbq chicken in addition to rice and mac.My favorite!Everything was exquisite from service, to the quality to the quantity to the deliciousness of the food of course! I am always back, so of course I will back very soon.“
“It was very conscientious to eat here on New Year's Eve. The young lady who took orders and served the food was very good and liked it very much. She also had delicious food. I have eaten at so many barbecues, but this one's lamb loin, grilled beef skewers, and egg fried rice are delicious and reasonably priced. Since it’s so affordable, I’ll only come here.“
“Good introduction to K-BBQ for anyone non Korean.No need for a Korean friend menu is in English only.Menu is well focused on the Korean BBQ staples - combos are Great for beginners, and "all you can eat" is available for the gluttons.Parking: Follow street signs don't get a ticket.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter or for bathroom“
“In a sea of A5, wagyu, kobe style bbq places opening up these days, come along the higher-end prices and memberships. It seems like a good KBBQ these days costs an average of $60+/pp = :/I won't say TK92 is bad quality or bottom of the barrel but I very much appreciate they are not forcibly up-selling you on all these much higher price meats, especially if I'm not on the hunt for them. The meats were still great here, I was satisfied and full.One thing I'll say is that many of the nonmeat dishes were better quality than I've had at other restaurants, even ones that specialize in them. I know you're not supposed to fill up on the carbs, but the Jjolmyeon (spicy cold noodles) was so good here. Great presence with the spice and sweetness as well as the chew from the noodles. This with some freshly grilled meat was the best bite. Another noteworthy nonmeat dish was the Japchae. I was let down spicy rice cake was on the menu but they didn't actually have it. I'm not sure if they just didn't have it that night, or if it's just completely off the menu.I do like how the banchans were already at the table when we sat down so we could get started on them right away. One fault of this though was items that should be hot were no longer hot, such as the pancake & Japchae. I was surprised there was no kimchi, so we asked for some and it seems they don't readily have it at the table like the other banchan.There are 2 tiers, the cheaper one $36.99 while the other is $39.99. With the higher tier, I think the only difference is you get 3 other meat selections with one of them being the Premium Marinated Beef Short Rib (only one order per person). This was the most tender meat I had. None of the meats left me dissatisfied and with that, I go back to the much higher priced AYCE (more premium) places you can find in the greater LA area. I'm not a butcher, and the meats are already good here, so I have a hard time justifying the more premium cuts. Yes they might be more tender (sometimes not), better marbling. But I don't see that much of a difference.Service was great here and I never had to hunt sometime down to get a grill change or order meats. You can only order 3 meats each round just FYI, but it wasn't an issue. It seems they don't do any type of dessert for bdays, but instead comped a bottle of soju which I think is even better.It's more spacious here than even I knew and I think that's because of the really high ceilings. Tables appear to be spaced apart fairly well so it did not feel too cramped even though it was busy when I went. There is a comic/anime/retro aesthetic to the place that is pretty cool. There is a fairly sized waiting area that I feel as though could be its own separate bar area and perhaps was one at a time. There is a parking lot with narrow spots which are sometimes hard to find because it fills up fast.If you are looking for some KBBQ in the area and don't want to break the bank you should check out TK92.Cheers!“
“Ordered soft shell crab and it was good. Wasn't hot nor warm by the time I made it 12 minutes away home. Also ordered baked salmon roll, it was good flavor was mild compared to what I'm use too. I did like that it was not super oily like some I've had. I would come back“
“I don't normally do reviews at all. Saw this place awhile back and stumbled upon it again while driving today. First time experience, the price is extremely reasonable however the proportions?!? The proportions were beyond amazing. The food and the service here was just impeccable, cooked right in front of you. Quiet area too if you wanna get away from everything.“
“I’m a fan. Lots of history here. This was also a filming location for the movie Bad Santa. The hotel IS haunted. But I don’t believe it is yet operational again. The Mayan is and it’s a really cool place. The staff is super friendly and engaging as well. Be sure to walk around and check out the pictures on the wall. Yes! They are from the 30s and 40s. Welcome to Old Route 66.“
