Walked in, knew immediately what I wanted and it came out quicker than expected. The food was super good and the service was excellent.

Excellent Monta (Mante) and Su-Beoreg. Located in Pasadena. They make their own dough, therefore tastes so good, like homemade. Sauce (on a side to pour prior to eating) is also good and theres small hot spicy sauce on a side as well. Highly recommended! One of the best foods I tasted in California.

Its a take-out Mediterranean restaurant with 3 items on the menu and seats for 4-6 outside. I had an aluminum baking tin packed from edge to edge with eye-shaped pastry filled with ground beef. Visually beautiful, nestled flush with each other, about 40 in all. Condiments include an average tomato sauce, a chilli sauce and plain yogurt. Addictive.The other two items were a salmon sandwich (which looked great) and pastry filled with two cheeses.

Wonderful people and wonderful food. Everything is made fresh to order, with love. Healthy salmon sandwich beats getting a burger down the street. Fresh baked cheese pastry is out of this world savory masterpiece. Armenian lasagna is unique - spices like I’ve never had cooled with white sauce.

If you ever have those moments where you want to eat something different, come to this place. I have never tried manti before but I was very happy that I did. The tomato sauce and yogurt sauce that accompany it are delicious and the portions were more than enough for me. Again, check this place out!

Wow, the food is amazing! I came with my mom, and we both have tiny appetites. I figured wed eat 1/3 and take the rest home. Nope, she polished off almost all of it just by herself. I was glad we had gotten another order to-go! The monta tastes like little treasures of crunchy-yet-soft dough with perfectly seasoned balls of meat. The sauces are so yummy. I recommend getting all three, but the spicy tomato sauce is pretty darn spicy so get that one on the side if you want to be cautious. If you like garlic, you will LOVE the garlic sauce. The su-beoreg was perfect. Like the monta, its crispy and soft at the same time. The cheese filling is creamy, but substantial. I cant wait to come back.

Tiny Pasadena gem! The sini-monta are delightful bites of meat and dough and su-beoreg is an awesome version of macncheese (or sauceless lasagna if you will). These descriptions fail to describe how good this food is in its simplicity.

I gave a five-star rating to Monta Factory in Glendale as a gift for Sarges wedding by driving several tense miles to get there. This was my second visit to a factory-named restaurant in the past three days, and I was eager to try their signature dish.I live in Pasadena, where the original Monta Factory is located on Washington Blvd. It only opens on Tuesdays, unlike the Glendale location, which opens every day. However, when I arrived at the Pasadena location this Tuesday, there was a note posted on the door stating that the restaurant was closed from February 7 to February 21 because the owner was getting married. Congratulations to them!Despite this setback, I was still craving Monta Factorys food, so I decided to make the drive to the Glendale location, which is owned by the same person.To be honest, I had never tried Monta before - I had only seen it on YouTube. I ordered a small box of Monta that contained 40 pieces arranged in 5 rows of 8 Monta, not in a foil box as I mistakenly mentioned earlier. Each Monta was much smaller than I had imagined - about the size of a chicken wing tip. Despite their size, the Monta were delicious - the shell was slightly crispy and stuffed with beef. The sour sauce was tangy and tasted great with the sour cream. Overall, the Monta were delicious and lived up to their reputation as authentic Armenian cuisine.Armenian cuisine holds a special place in my heart because of a beautiful Armenian girl I had as a classmate. She taught me about Armenian history, including the genocide, the relationship between Russia and Turkey, and the countrys religion. She even taught me how to dye eggs in the Armenian way. However, even if Armenian food and culture is not your thing, Monta Factory is still worth a visit.I also tried a piece of Su-Beoreg, which was like a piece of lasagna without meat or sauce. The cheese inside was layered and tasted fantastic. The outer piece was crispy and had a great flavor.Its worth mentioning that there is another factory-named restaurant called the Cheesecake Factory. I had visited it just a few days before my trip to Monta Factory. The Cheesecake Factory is a fusion restaurant that offers a diverse menu, including burgers, tacos, rice, nachos, spring rolls, avocado, Korean fried chicken, and Thai BBQ. The restaurant is a representation of Southern Californias multicultural fusion cuisine.Overall, I would highly recommend Monta Factory for anyone looking to try authentic Armenian cuisine. Dont be fooled by the small size of the Monta - they are packed with flavor and definitely worth the drive. I give Monta Factory five stars and look forward to my next visit.
