One of my top favorite Taiwanese restaurants in Arcadia! Thankfully, they finally switched to plastic containers and proper dishes for dine-in. I love their strawberry milk tea!! Although they don't allow you to add boba, it still tastes amazing.
5 star service too! Quiet area during lunch
P.S. if you let the tomato sauce beef dry noodle soak in the sauce overnight it will change your life. Thank me later

I miss some of the other locations that have closed, so when I drove by, and saw this place! I was really excited! I decided to get something else other than the normal pork chops, and it wasn't bad! The 叉燒 was sweet enough, and the meat wasn't all that dry. It had a nice balance of outer sweet marinade, but without overpowering the natural flavor of the meat. But my friend got the porkchops I normally get, and even though I didn't take a bite, every time he bit into it, you could just hear the crunch of that crispy fried goodness! I'd definitely come back!

The pork chop rice dish hit the spot! The pork chop was delicious, juicy and really satisfying. The veggies were soft and tasty. I really enjoyed the simple meal here. Service was also very friendly. The only thing I was disappointed about was they don't serve boba drinks here. Not enough demand I was told. I'll be back though!

We stopped by Monja Taiker in Arcadia before heading to Santa Anita Park to watch race horsing. Ordered three combo meals and one beef noodle soup—classic Taiwanese flavors, and the noodle was especially good. Prices were fair.
Only downside: the combo plates are like kids’ trays. A larger plate would make the meal look and feel better.
Will definitely return when we are in this area again.

The food was good, but someone talked loudly on the phone the entire time I was there. It was not enjoyable or relaxing at all to listen to other people’s private phone conversation while eating.

PSA: Google maps will take you to a wrong location!! Use Apple Maps instead (it’s on the corner of Huntington & First Ave):
The food, vibes, and the staff here are wonderful! The beef noodle soup here has such a clean and refreshing taste, not oily at all. Super kind owners. I would come here every day if I could.

This Taiwanese restaurant is a gem! The popcorn chicken is absolutely delicious – crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere is cozy, and service is quick. Highly recommend it for a tasty snack or meal!

Not sure if it's an off day, but we tried to order some afternoon snacks. Many of the shaved ice toppings were out, they forgot to include boba in one of the drink orders.
We ordered 4 additional dishes for take out, but realized an hour later that we were missing an item. We were charged for all missing items. Tried calling the restaurant, but no pick up and voicemail box full.

I stopped by Monja Taiker and decided to try their Red Grain Rice BBQ Pork, and I’m glad I did!
The BBQ pork was incredibly flavorful—tender slices with a slightly crispy edge, glazed in a sweet-savory sauce that brought out the classic Taiwanese char siu flavor. What really stood out was the red grain rice—it had a nutty, earthy taste and a chewy texture that perfectly complemented the pork. It made the dish feel wholesome and unique, not something you get at your typical takeout spot.

The avocado smoothie is crafted with fresh avocados! Both the chicken and fried tofu were super spicy, crispy, and tasty! Plus, the prices are fantastic!
Always enjoy the red grain pork here with the dry noodles. I now get the green bean noodles for gluten-free. The Taiwanese sausage is good, and it is nostalgic to get the popcorn chicken and the four flavor soup. Wish there was a closer location so I can get more Taiwanese food fixes
Food was excellent. Got some dry noodles, noodle soup with meatballs, and wonton soup. Some fruit smoothies as well. Everything was delicious. Flavor of the noodles was great. Can’t beat it for the price either.
