“I just did an order online and I guess they ran out of something I ordered so they sent me an apology cookie with my ice cream. This business is so sweet for leaving a note with the order as well as an extra item. They go above and beyond. Thank you moo moo mia!“

“While looking for a nearby pizza spot, Alitalia Pizzeria came up on our Yelp search. Their Pizza By the Slice option was very appealing so my boyfriend and I decided to check it out. The location itself was on the small side. A bench and a few chairs for waiting but not a table to sit down to eat. Unfortunately when we got here they said the Pizza by the Slice option was only available until 4pm. That's fine but I wish they depicted it better on the menu. Had we known that wasn't an option in the evening, we would have called in our order instead of waiting around for a pizza to get made from scratch. I think we already had our stomachs set on the pepperoni so we decided to get their medium Pepperoni Pizza ($16.45). Then for the waiting that could have been avoided. It felt like forever. The one nice thing is they let you grab as much parmesan cheese and chili flakes as you want. The interesting thing is that their sign said they close at 8pm on Sundays but they closed up as soon as we left slightly after 7pm. In retrospect we were contemplating what else we should have gotten or even their half and half option. But not having the pizza by the slice thing and more labelling of such really threw me off. Anyways as to the pizza, my boyfriend thought the crust could have been thinner. I felt like it was oily. I was blotching the pizza like teenage oily acne skin. We both felt like we might be back for the pizza by the slice deal but we aren't in a hurry to try their full pizzas. The cost is high and the satisfaction isn't all the way there.“

“Thai Thyme is one of the best, if not he best Thai Food I’ve ever tried. Pad Thai is wonderful. Entres are perfect and soups are made with the best veggies and broth ever. We love it here. Cannot recommend it more ? We got mango sticky rice for dessert and came in a heart shape. Worth driving to Monrovia and experiencing these amazing plates. Plus service is wonderful. Very attentive and graceful. Please enjoy it for yourself.“

“This place is sooo good!!! My girlfriend and I stopped by on a whim and were treated like family. We met the owner and his wife who were delightful and shared their passion to develop recipes reflective of the various regions in Mexico. We tried their birria which was amazing as well as the pastor and quesadilla with refried beans which was surprisingly delicious. Loved it! If you're visiting the area, stop by and try this locally owned restaurant. It won't disappoint. We'll definitely be back for another round of bean quesadillas and birria! Cheers!!“
“Best beers in Monrovia! Looks small when you first walk in, but it has a huge outdoor space in the back! Seems like they frequently host bands, food vendors, and pop ups. Definitely try their Mexican Lager and Icelandic White Ale! Great vibes, bartenders are very nice and knowledgeable too!“
“I was in the area after having tried Hop Secret beforehand, and thought i'd give this one a try as well since it was nearby. There weren't many people for a Thursday night, which I didn't mind. The beertender was nice and had a very friendly personality. She told us the story of how the brewery's name came to be, being as the owner studied geology. She made sure we were comfortable by checking on us often, asking if we'd like water, and even changed the channel to the Thursday Night Football game upon request. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.“
“Perfection. This tiny Monrovia brewery produces the world's premier beers. The sour crumble seasonals are world-class incredible. Their Starhazer IPA is immaculate. Help yourself to free, fresh popcorn. This place has it all! Go. See. Taste....N' don't forget to tip your tap professional.“

“I did not eat here so I can't comment on the food. I did buy some loose tea. One was an oolong tea that was very good and of good quality. The other loose tea was a black tea with dried fruits and it smelled so delicious. I haven't tried it yet but it will probably be very tasty. They carry monkey pick tea which is an oolong tea of high quality and very expensive. Perhaps next visit I will purchase. It is a nice tea store and they have a great variety of teas.“

“Nice place for lunch. We have the specialized platter. It was a pretty basic platter, and sufficient enough for three people to share. Prices are reasonable for the food. Service was also good, laid back atmosphere. It’s a great place to catch up with loved ones.“
“Service was quick and helpful The bar was chill, full but easily got a table there was 6 of us so we had to yell over music a bit to communicate which isn't always funWe were mostly there for food which was great Def a saving grace when everything around there closes at 1030ish The birria quesadilla, chefs kissThe torta was a amazing as wellWould come back again after a night in the strip“

“Wow I randomly ordered from here on Uber eats for lunch and got one of their lunch boxes, and it was one of the best meals I've ever got on food delivery apps in my life. Generally you know you are over paying on these apps due to the convenience, but this is the first time where I feel like every single penny was worth it! Chicken lunch box was perfect! Tender and flavorful chicken, curry, appetizer, rice and naan! Loved every bite! Thank you! Flavor was so good, quality was high, price was amazing! Love it all around. To think I almost ordered chick fil a kills me!“

“Tucked in Downtown Monrovia, this small restaurant has really fresh sushi! We visited on a recent Saturday for lunch. Inside has maybe 3-4 seats at the sushi bar, 3 small tables, and a couple tables outdoors were its pet friendly. I got the salmon don and it was fresh and delicious. It comes with miso soup and the best tasting salad dressing I've ever had. We also shared the lime roll, scallops sushi, ono sushi, albacore sushi and miso cod. The roll was only okay, and I definitely preferred the sushi. The miso cod was tender and soft, I felt very healthy eating all the delicious fish. Our waiter was super friendly and nice, it made for a great lunch experience!“

“My family and I loved this place. It's been a long time since we have tasted authentic not bloating after feeling food. The servers were great, food came out on a timely matter. The place takes you back in time enjoying the company you have away from electronics. I highly recommend this breakfast place.“

“I always come for the Breakfast burrito and add bacon to it. The Mayan mocha is better than regular mocha. They've been generally busy every time I've come so before 10 is best to avoid a wait. If not, the wait can be 10+ min depending on the queue of coffee drinks and food.“
“Ok, so this tea place is definitely in my top 5 drink spots. I love that they have so many flavors and mix/match options. The employees are always nice and patient. They always give great recommendations if I ask. And they have a fridge with discounted pre-made drinks that I love to grab. The triple shot is my favorite!“

“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.“

“I ordered two Dole whip drinks, 1 with pineapple juice and 1 without. I went there after work, so the restaurant was basically empty. There are outdoor patio seatings. I'd go again to try their burgers next time. I parked in front of Burgerim.“

“We were very hungry, ordered delivery. I didn't know they delivered. The pepperoni pizza was good, good taste, good crust. The antipasto salad was good, although not really an antipasto. I ordered the meatballs and thought they were great. They came in a dish with marinara, onions, green peppers. The marinara was very flavorful. I put the garlic bread to good use by thoroughly cleaning the dish to get all the marinara. Less expensive Than ordering from Domino's, and much MUCH better. We've always like this place.“

“Quaint little Pho restaurant with amazing service and delicious food. Atmosphere is just right giving off that old school vibe being in old town. Pork banh mi sandwich was amazing, just enough spices to make it tasty without overdoing and the crunchyness, nice touch. Pho broth is savory and fresh, add the garnishments and voila, deliciousness at the tip of the chopsticks. Highly recommended for a quick, comfy bite.“

“* No baby changing station in restroom. * Strollers are a tight fit inside but, there is some outdoor seating in the front that will be better. * high chair available Latte 5/5 -- Strong, lightly sweet and the cup was as big as my face! Meat Lovers Omelette -- YUM! Packed with all breakfast meat, it was flavorful and cheesy. The portion was also very big, especially with the sides the dish comes with. I chose the Country Fried Potatoes, which are thickly cubed potatoes that taste AMAZING all on their own. This place is very relaxing and I'm sure even the pickiest kiddo can find something to enjoy here. Service was good as well. Everyone was kind and friendly.“

“Great little traditional burger joint. Small menu keeps everything consistent. Had a double cheeseburger combo and it was absolutely delicious. Had the fries cooked well done for an added crisp, they were delicious with the addition of a little salt and the thousand island saucee to dip. Lived in the area for quite awhile and always wanted to try this quaint little cozy place. My new go to little burger spot to curb my cravings.“

“It was good. I had a grilled Chicken Sandwich came with a sell it very good. My friend had the. Fish-and-chips and the fish looked like they were nice portions. I can't tell you how much it was. Because I was treated this time. The only problem I can think of was that the menu text was so small. I couldn't read it without my reading glasses.“

“I came here for the first time recently because it was the only place open in the area at the time. Looking at the menu, I was already a little wary because it suggests that you flavor your milktea, I suspect that the basic tea doesn't taste very good on its own.The clerk patiently answered my questions about the premium milk teas. I appreciate that they answered questions about the flavor of the drinks and what it contained (powder vs syrup) and details about the oolong milk tea. The drinks were prepared quickly after the order was placed which is great.However, the drinks were not so good. I would not get the Thai tea again. Albeit, it was half-sweet so that might have worsened the flavor, but it tasted strongly of powder and rather bland in terms of the tea flavor.The Phoenix oolong was ok, but it didn't have nearly as much of a roasted flavor as I had hoped. It would have been nice if it had a strong tea flavor as well. The pudding was decent.I don't plan to go back, despite the good service.“

“Great food. Excellent service (Patty). Food is authentic fresh. Can get busy for breakfast. Would recommend joining waitlist. Without waitlist can get up to 1-2hr wait. The Pueblano chilaquiles were great. Menudo is great on weekend. The hostesses at front counter seem like not that happy. No smiles or welcome. Very business attitudes.“

“3.25.24 After picking up my daughter from school today, I decided to treat us out to dinner instead of cooking. I tend not to cook the days she's not with me, and lately...I had been avoiding cooking. I don't know why, but lately I had been led to Old Town Monrovia quite often. Very weird! Anyway, before I start my review, I would like to give a shout-out to my lovely Yelp friend, *drum rolls* ....dum....dum...dum...tak. Ladies and gentlemen please give a round of applause to KATHERINE for her awesome Yelp review that led me to The State tonight. The State was located on the corner of Myrtle and Lemon, actually it was near the corner. Parking: There were plenty of parking spaces around, but you can find more parking spaces on a nearby parking lot (free), turning right on Lemon (going East) if you're heading South on Myrtle. The parking lot was located across from the Fire Station. The posted sign on the parking lot stated a 3-hour parking from 8am-5pm Tips: Happy Hour, M-Fr 11am-6pm. I missed the Happy Hour today. I got there at 6:30PM Brunch: SAT, SUN: 10AM-3PM Specials: Monday-Mules $6 Tuesday-Margaritas $6, Tacos $2.5 Wednesday-Old Fashioned $8, Toki Highball $6 Thursday- All Wine by The Glass 1/2 off What were ordered My daughter ordered the following: -Pasta Primavera $20 (She enjoyed it and finished her plate. I tried it and it was tasty to me.) -Creme Brûlée $10 (Delcious) I ordered -New York Steak Medium Rate $38. It came with tenderstem broccoli and mash potatoes. (It was juicy and tender. My daughter tried it and she liked the steak) -Wedge Salad $11 (I liked it. My daughter didn't. She was more of a caesar salad fan) -Avocado Wraps $12, came with 3 wraps (I liked it. My daughter didn't try because she didn't like avocados) -Short Rib Tacos $12, came with 3 tacos (I do not recommend. For me the flavor of the meat was not good. My daughter said it was too spicy and she didn't like it. She was attacking me for not telling her it was spicy, making it sounded like I did that on purpose. I didn't even know they had chopped jalapeños in it) Total after tax was $113.56, with 20%ish tip $136.56 Overall the food was good, service was great, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Talking of which, we saw ambulance and firefighters activity during dinner. Of course I had to snap a pic to share with you all. Oh the place was very busy, no empty table inside. We were offered to sit at the bar or outside (they thought my daughter was 21 or something haha). I chose to sit outside and thankfully they had heating lamps right above us...it was very warm. One minor issue: When my daughter and I first arrived at The State and waited at the hostess lectern to be seated. The waitress and waiter were busy in the back by the bar area cleaning glasses. The waiter decided to wave at me to come to the bar, instead of coming to the front to the hostess stand to seat us. I was thinking to myself "What the heck was that? Uhhh no. You come to me". He kept waving at me trying to get my attention and I ignored. I stayed put until one of them, the waitress, decided to stop what she was doing and came to us to ask us if we wanted to sit at the bar or outside. Other than that, everything else was great and we had a great time.“

“Only cash! Lol we had to run to CVS to get some cash, not a problem! I've been wanting to try this place for months now & I finally was able to on a Friday afternoon. We ordered 2 chicken teriyaki bowls. Rice, veggies & protein. Of course teriyaki sauce on top of it all. We really loved it! Can't wait to try again. We ate right outside their little patio. They have 3 parking lot spaces & street parking. The staff was very friendly. I wish they had Thai tea“

“This was my first time at this location today. I guess I had been ordering my drink incorrectly, but the sweetest barista fixed it and saved me 50cents. She didn’t have to do that, but she did and I’m so appreciative! This location will get all my business!“
“Love the vibe and my server was very nice. However, my Acai bowl was watery and not very flavorful. I do not like açaí with added ice. A little strange with raisins too. And the shredded coconut had added sugar. This is a fruit dish, sugar not needed.Vegetarian options: Fresh fruits and vegetables“

“Wonderful experience. I had the pick three tacos plate. I chose the brisket taco, pork Bahn Mi taco, and the beer batter fish taco. The appetizer of parmesan fries was delicious. And the PB&J Old Fashioned mixed drink was delicious. Will definitely be coming back to try more.“

“Old town Monrovia is cute and has great vibes. This cafe is just off the beaten path and is definitely a great spot to have breakfast.The granola pancakes are lovely with great flavors. I wish they had had more real maple syrup, but they were running out apparently. The bacon was cooked to perfection!All in all it was good food for a reasonable price, with great serving staff.Parking: Some street parking, but just down the street there is a lot with more parking.“

Five stars without a doubt“

“The food varies some depending on who's cooking, but is pretty spot on most of the time! Huge menu, they do *not* cook their refried beans with lard (according to owner Mrs., though sometimes the grill may share some of the meaty/fishy oils as the vegetarian in the household noticed. The service has been consistently responsive, friendly, helpful; informative, budget friendly and nourishing on a number of levels...“

“I was craving fish and chips on Saturday. When we walked in there wasn't anyone to greet us. They only had two people one at the bar and one serving plus there was a big party in the patio. Since it was so busy we did have to wait a bit to order and get our food. My fish was amazing, and the burger was tasty. It definitely has a pub feel. There are high tables by the bar and booths on the side. Our server was running around, but still had a smile and great attitude!“

“Went for dinner last night. Food was delicious. Service was as well. We saw a table of miserable people complaining about everything and felt so bad for the server that we tipped her extra. Do better people. If you’re already miserable before you walk through the door, then just keep in “

“I tried their breakfast for the first time. The breakfast burrito was very tasty; however the French toast was just okay. The breakfast menu is small with about 4-5 items. We usually come for dinner. The chicken shawarma was good but the beef lula kabob was awesome.“

“Very satisfied. I stopped by today after my grocery haul and I'm really happy I did. I got a small poke bowl and it was filling but light enough to watch my calories since I was able to get half greens. Everything was fresh and the gentleman who helped me was very nice. Will be stopping by here from now on to get my poke bowls.“

“The sandwich’s are amazing with a great portion size. I highly recommend getting the lemonade it’s nice and fresh it doesn’t taste like that fake lemonade other places have. The old lady (I forgot her name) she had an amazing service and jokes. This is my opinion and it might sound stupid but she makes you feel like you’re a regular even if you don’t go often. 10/10“
