Top Asian Restaurant in Montrose
Zen Sushi and Gourmet Asian Cuisine
2650 Foothill Blvd #3510, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214, United States
Yummy sushi place. We come here fairly often. My favorites are the spicy tuna crispy rice and the Heart Attack roll. Its not cheap, but I wouldnt say its overpriced either. Good sized portions of fish. I wish they had a little more diversity in their rolls. I love me some spicy tuna, but it seems that most of their rolls feature it in different ways. The only thing weve ever had an issue with is the eel. It can be hit or miss. When its good, its really good, but when its bad, well, not so much. Overall, though, we have friendly service. Its usually busy, but not packed. Weve tried 4 different sushi joints since we moved up here and Zen is our favorite so far.
Sake Sushi Bar Lounge

NO wonder why this place has no business and gone down the drain. I am just shocked what this place has become from what it was years ago. I used to come here twice a week today is the last time I will ever step food in this restaurant.Food is disgusting, we had to complain almost about every plate that was brought to our table, something I never have to do at places like seaweed handroll bar and Hikari! And they make you feel very uncomfortable complaining as if it is your fault the sushi is bad.I specifically asked the lady server look if the sushi is not fresh just don't bring it to me because the Spicy Tuna handroll was very dry and the only way it would be like that if it was siting in the container for a very long time. She didn't acknowledge the warning signs I gave her and she kept bringing what we ordered and I had to send back an awfully smelly stenchy Scallop handroll that reeks from a mile away. I also had to send back two lobster handrolls because it tasted sour! Furthermore, no sauce and the lobster was cold! On top of all this I found a dead fly on one of my plates that was the end of my experience (see attached) I asked for the check and told her you can even charge me for the plate that had the fly I just want to get out of here. Anyways she comes back and sure does charge me for the plate with fly in it. This is coming from an avid frequent sushi eater, if you guys want a sushi place where it won't get you seriously sick do not eat here. This place proves its carelessness towards their customers health and well-being by serving rotten fish that can make you end up in the hospital.This place will not survive like this and I can now understand why they no longer have the business they used to years ago with the previous owners.
Cibo Thai
2529 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA 91020, United States
Amazing, fast, and inexpensive Thai food with a friendly atmosphere. Every time Ive ordered take out its the same happy, polite staff and the same fantastic quality. I recommend the golden tofu to everyone I take here! The sauce it comes with is divine. Havent been disappointed with anything Ive ordered yet! Cibo Thai comes highly recommend not only as an amazing neighborhood hole in the wall, but as a genuinely incredible, little known, piece of Los Angeles best cuisine. I must have driven by thousands of times before I finally decided to stop in, but I am so glad I did! By far one of my favorite local eats!

Umai Teriyaki
2268 Honolulu Ave, Montrose, CA 91020, United States
I ordered 2 lunch specials, a dinner meal (beef ribs) and an order of California rolls. The woman who answers the phone cannot understand the English language very well and it made it difficult to order. I had to start my order over several times because if I asked a question about any part of a meal, she would assume that I wanted it and added it to the order. It discouraged me from ordering anything else since I had no menu to order from. Also, I at the end of my order I asked if everything (each item) came with salad and she replied yes. I even told her how good the salad is and she giggled and said thank you. My son picked up my order for me and when I looked, there was no salad. I called and spoke with the same woman who had no problem speaking English well enough to understand me and to tell me that not one item I ordered came with a side salad. There are way too many Teriyaki restaurants nearby to put up with that sort of thing. The only reason i gave 2 stars is because the food is decent as Teriyaki goes. Next time I will try another spot. I dont feel like going through that again. As I think about it, I better check my receipt!
Tickle Tree Caf
2853 Foothill Blvd, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214, United States
I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Tickle Tree on our interview date.Located in the heart (and heat) of the valley lives Tickle Tree Café, a cozy spot that is equal parts adorable and mouthwatering! From classic coffee options to scrumptious fan-favorites, locals and visitors alike should have no problem finding the perfect combo of food and drink. I went back to my college fave, the Americano, but opted for the iced version with soy milk and a significantly less amount of sugar. Had I not have already eaten before I got there, I so would have devoured one of their appetizing looking brunch options. Now, apart from a great menu, what makes this shop special is its overall atmosphere and design. From the moment you even step into the parking lot, you can just tell that you will have a pleasant experience, and their wonderfully happy staff is a great group of friendly faces to welcome you for however long your stay may be. Enjoy your delicious noms in the air-conditioned indoor seating area complete with warm neutrals with pops of sunny yellows and aluminum seating, or relax and enjoy the sunshine in their decently sized patio area under the shade of umbrellas that perfectly match the Tickle Tree color scheme.

Mochinut La Crescenta
2864 Foothill Blvd, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214, United States
I have not try a bunch of things from the menu, because i keep ordering the same things when I go. We had a box of doughnuts, different flavors, and my go back to is the strawberry funnel flavor, now .. the hotdog with melting cheese is unreal, the outside crust so crispy and sweet, melting cheese and the hotdog at the end, needs to be try so you can enjoy the best of it.We also get the ube drink with boba.. made in house, beautiful purple color, is delicate and delicious. You need to go, there is a good amount of items in the menu, but, the hotdog go fast during the week, because high school kids take them all after school.
Fosters Donuts
2601 Foothill Blvd, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214, United States
Growing up there were two places wed get donuts from. One was here, at Fosters Family Donuts and the other was at a Chinese take out place down the street called Chores. That one was convenient because it was a little closer, but the donuts werent as good. I have since wondered how the owners decided on the name Chores for their little Chinese take-out place. Was the guy who opened it just so surprised and sick at the amount of chores he had to do to run a restaurant that he sarcastically called it Chores because thats all it was to him? Chores was right across the street from a KFC that my dad absolutely hated. Now you have to understand my father was always a very even-tempered and patient man but the one thing that could always get him mildly-frustrated was having to go to that KFC. His main complaint was that every time he tried to order a specialty item like popcorn chicken theyd say Oh were out of that like, every single time. Hed always come out of their just bitter and flustered which was funny because he was still holding a bucket of thighs and drumsticks but hed say something under his breath like knuckleheads! or unbelievable!.Anyway, Fosters Family Donuts. Its located in what I like to call the Saturday Morning Dad Shopping Center cause its right next to an OReilly Auto Parts and if there are two places youre most likely to find your dad on a Saturday morning its in a donut shop or an auto parts store. Or a hardware store. I swear my dad lived for the chance to drag me or my brother to the hardware store on Saturday mornings and then spend at least an hour sorting through those little drawers of screws and bolts.Anyway the donuts here are good.
Golden Fortune Express
2550 Foothill Blvd H, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214, United States
Tasty orange chicken. Friendly staff. Large portions and reasonably, but oddly priced.Your typical Chinese takeout1, 2, or 3 item combos with chow mein or fried riceThe reason I said this place is oddly priced is because usually the more you buy, the cheaper the upgrades between levels become. However, between the 1 item and 2 item combo, the upgrade is $1 but the upgrade between the 2 item and the 3 item is $2. Not a deal breaker, just strange.They have chili oil and the OG sriracha sauce which was a major plus.For what it is, this place is great! It's hard to find a filling meal under $13 these days. I had a big appetite coming in and had some leftovers to spare after the 3 item combo.
