I've been going here for years and use to get their popcorn chicken over rice but the last few times I've gotten it, the popcorn chicken were super large pieces and I don't think all the pieces were fully cooked. (Eek) Now my go to is the ground pork and mushroom dry noodles with thick noodles. Add some spicy to it and it's perfect! My husband really likes their red grain pork. The space is small but they do have a few tables outside, if it's full inside. The Staff are friendly and normally really quick to address anything you need. Recommend if you're looking for a decent Taiwanese meal in the area.

This place f'ing sucks. I ordered noodles with brown sauce and my food came with very little brown sauce. The bowl had a lot of water so it made the noodle even more flavorless. I asked for more sauce but they said no, that's how it is. Like wtf I didn't spend money on flavorless food! You tried to be stingy over some bs and end up losing a customer, dumbass.

Yummy AND affordable I had such a great meal here and my (boyfriend's) wallet didn't cry. I got the stewed chicken leg rice plate and it came with chicken, minced pork, preserved veggies, a piece of Korean yellow radish, rice, and stewed cabbage. There were so many flavors and I got a good intake of vegetables which is very important. I came with a party of 5 and they were very accommodating of us. The servers were also near us the whole time so seeking help was so fast and easy. The restaurant was kinda small but it had a good amount of seats. I also got the grass jelly with boba, pudding, and rainbow mochi. It was more of a jam consistency but I liked it a lot! I would so come here again.

Omg. This red pork is something I dream of. This meal has everything you need! It fills your tummy and your heart. Their red pork is very flavorful, soft inside, and crispy outside. I like their seasoned, steamed cabbage and the grain pork on top of the rice as well. It' a small place which can seat about 8~10 tables. It seems like a family-owned restaurant.

This is my second attempt at Monja. The first time my pork chop take-out looked and tasted outright spoiled and just went into the trash. But I keep seeing this place packed with people, so I tried it again. Pretty underwhelming. Had Beef noodle soup - 4⭐: good fragrant broth, tasty meat and veggies, but very bland and a bit overcooked noodles.And Steamed chicken with rice - 3⭐: average chicken, not entirely bland, but dry, very stale rice (surprising), unappetizing veggies.In the end I'm not sure why so many people come here. Am I ordering the wrong dishes? It's definitely a very cheap place, but the food is not great.Note: The parking lot can get crowded, but there's always a lot of available parking underground.

Good food, Good price, very courteous and considerate service!!Great taste, not expensive, and the service is attentive and considerate! !
I ordered the minced pork rice, sweet potatoes fries and rice with the red meat. The food was okay but the service was great. Our server, Allen, was very helpful. He happily answered to all our questions.

I suddenly wanted to eat salted crispy chicken today. I searched this place on the map and called to order to pick it up. I was finally satisfied. The taste is ok. Ordered five kinds.

I gotta say, very consistent what I believe to be taiwanese comfort/street food. Of course I haven't been to taiwan before but the flavors of the food are comforting for me as a chinese person. Simple stir fry meat sauce over rice with pickled daikon and simple cabbage that offers a mild sweet flavor and nice crunch. What's there not to like. Service is fast since they're rather small indoor seating so it's easy to flag down staff to order. Of course there's also outdoor seating too, but it's "fast" food since you order and in about 10 minutes or less the food is already at your table. We're usually in and out in under 30 minutes.

We like the noodle here and also the red Taiwanese style barbecue. The pork chop rice was also very good, and it came with small side dishes. It's pretty inexpensive. It also come with combo meals with several side dishes. The dessert was just OK. I would recommend this place.

Horrible service. This young lady would talk to you but she wouldn't look at you. Food good but she gotta go. She will ruined this business. She was not being professional and should be gone. I own a small business too and I would fire her.
