Su-Beoreg & Monta Factory

The food and service here are top notch. You won't be disappointed.

Ohhhhhhh so good. I think I met the owner behind the counter, making our lunch. He is making his Armenian grandmother (his tatik) proud. He loves his customers. This is both a catering kitchen and walk-up restaurant with a few tables.
Only three items on the restaurant menu. Got one of everything and split it. You can tell it’s all hand made. The dumplings are flavored perfectly, and maybe a bit of mint on top? On the herbaceous and acidic side, not sweet, but also richer and deeper than a meatball. Can get spicy or regular. Some of the dumplings have crunchy edges. Really unique and tasty. Need 100 more.
The cheesy layered bread was INCREDIBLE. Like. Fly across the country incredible. Flakey, salty, buttery. Melty. Chewy. Crisp. Perfect everywhere.
The salmon sandwich is generous and seasoned well, cooked well, and holds together well. Really really great and I want to go back already.

Such a nice place to enjoy the Monta and cheese Borege. The place is small but have all the charm and good stuff. We ordered the large Monta with spicy tomato sauce, Cheese Su-Borege. It was so good. We shared the large tray between the three of us and we were so full. The person at the counter was soooooo nice. He brought our order out and offer to take our picture of us and our outing.

If you love Monta food, this restaurant is a must-visit! Their dishes are authentic, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!

A must try in Pasadena. The food is lovely and handmade. We tried the su-beoreg and monta, and we will be back.Simple menu, yummy food. Highly recommend for a weekend lunch.

Perfection

I've been going since 2017. It continues with the same quality. Ravioli and water pastry are very delicious. Prices are reasonable too. You can also buy it frozen.

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 there's small hot spicy sauce on a side as well. Highly recommended! One of the best foods I tasted in California.

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!

Freakin amazing salmon sandwich. Ready quick, delicious, didn't spare on the salmon, sauce, or lettuce. And I found out they have veggie monte. LFG.

Best in town, if you haven't tried them yet, then you better, this is like your mom's kitchen quality.Great Food and awesome human.Highly recommended.

I gave a five-star rating to Monta Factory in Glendale as a gift for Sarge's 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 Factory's 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 country's 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.It's 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 California's multicultural fusion cuisine.Overall, I would highly recommend Monta Factory for anyone looking to try authentic Armenian cuisine. Don't 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.

Always a treat when my mom comes home with a fresh box of monta! Ok fine maybe 2 boxes cause the first one goes so quick.Historic landmark in Pasadena that is probably the only place I can say is better than grandmas!

Great food, really enjoyed it. Friendly service, love that he explained everything to me.
