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.

Large potion sizes and fast services, I highly recommend it!2023-6-25I gave this place a 5-star review but have to update it and reduce it to 4. Because a lady who was working here and the kitchen gentleman were having an argument, and it lasted for about 8 minutes. I was inside waiting for my food during the whole time! They acted I was nonexistent and the volume kept on getting louder and reached unbearable levels.This was very unprofessional and should be avoided in the future. I hope they see this and realize what they did was improper!
Food was hot and delicious. Service was professional and kind. Atmosphere was a little small but most people got to-go orders. Will be going back, thank you

I always order the #1 Chicken Teriyaki. It comes with a ton of chicken. It's easily enough for lunch and dinner.

Honestly an awesome experience, getting to cook the food and you can eat as much as you like for a decent price. Not to mention the food is absolutely delicious.

I love this place for hawaiian bbq. like with everything post-covid the prices have defin gone up, but it's still worth it bc of the taste and portion size. I can't get enough of their katsu, teriyaki sauce, and their winter melon milk smoothie. I love the daily specials menu. I love supporting this small business. I also love that they let me phone in my order so it's ready for pick up when I arrive. there is a parking lot so I don't have to worry about where I'm going to park my car. I love this place even their macaroni salad has enough mayo to be legit.
