“Overall, my experience was positive. The establishment was clean and offered a pleasant ambiance with multiple televisions for sports enthusiasts. While the prices were higher, the generous portion sizes justified the cost. I highly recommend the steak for its exceptional flavor. Although the service was slightly lacking in terms of attentiveness, particularly for a large group, it is understandable considering the apparent busyness of the restaurant. I recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a variety of quality food options, including burgers, pizzas, wings, and steaks. The restrooms were well-maintained and clean, and there was a hostess available to seat customers promptly.
Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a ramp leading to restaurant.”

“Lovely place, but beware when you're ordering the Grilled Cheese and Soup. Picture is tomato soup so I assumed that's what I was getting and when ordering on my phone I wasn't given an option to choose a soup..seems you have to specify .. wouldn't work in my case because all they had was one soup and one I couldn't eat. :/”
“The food is delicious and the staff are great. We've ordered many dishes and we've never been disappointed. A few of our favorites dishes are the Eggplant Vegetables, Mongolian Beef, Chop Suey, Garlic Shrimp, Egg rolls, Dumplings as well as Wonton& egg drop soups. It's all delicious. It's all delicious! The Head Chef has years of experience as does the owner Karen & her right hands Em & Sooki. Guaranteed you will leave the place happy and satisfied. AAA PLUS. P.S. My family & I been enjoying Monarch Bistro for many years.”

“It was great.. hardly any patrons..but our soup was kinda "lukewarm"
And our food may have sat at window too long..when it got to table ..no longer "HOT!"

AS WHY OUR FOOD DIDN'T COME OUT STEAMING HOT...🤷

However food needs to be hotter..not lukewarm.. disappointed in that area. It was 3pm..so No huge. Crowd.”
Barbecue • $$
“For the most part very friendly service though when they're super busy they have a tendency to forget your order. Large menu and lots of drink options from the fridge if you want more mainland Chinese beverages that are harder to find in a local 99 ranch or so. Also the portions are huge for how much food you get especially in this economy and especially considering it's Riverside (I've found riverside to be more expensive for lower quality food compared to being in West LA, some parts of the bay, lots of places). The skewers with chicken heart don't knock it til you try it it's super flavorful. They also have a big beef hotpot kind of dish which could probably feed two very hungry big guys or the large for only $5 or so can feed probably 4-5 average people.
Vegetarian options: Kind of limited
Dietary restrictions: Lots of seafood ingredients and spices so be wary for that
Parking: Head into the back for parking or try parking in a different plaza”

“Mikey was super friendly and helped us make a choice. Choice of several different fish; Cod, Salmon, Swai, Dover, and more. Also chicken was available. The fish was delicious & and the breading was a very light and nicely seasoned. The shrimp were great too. Crinkle cut fries made it a traditional Fish & Chips I haven't found since H-Salt all but disappeared from SoCal.”
Sushi • $$
“SushOK more like sushi AMAZING!!
Don’t get this place confused with sushi okoku it is NOT all you can eat here, however if you are looking to spend a little more money for high quality ingredients and fish then this is the spot for you. Their selection is insane and have a lot of variety when it comes to what kinds of food you could order. Sashimi, carpaccios, sushi rolls, even grilled food as well. Dont be fooled by the large amounts of options you have, every single item is made with very good quality ingredients and everything tastes amazing.
The sushi chefs are also amazing and are very friendly and fun. If you are coming on a date and want to get to know the chefs make sure to sit at the bar they will take great care of you. If not then sitting at a table is a great option as well because the servers are all very helpful and friendly as well.
When i came here I got the Amazing Salmon roll, Jeff roll and a variety of sushi and everything tasted great. I do recommend the amberjack sushi if you want something with a little citrus and savory.
Will be coming back here as this is my new sushi spot.”

“My family and I had lunch a couple of weeks ago when we were in California visiting from Maine. I've dined at plenty of restaurants throughout the country. I have to say that the omelet I had was amazing! It wasn't just tasty, it felt good. Normally breakfast is a tad greasy. Between the large amounts of butter and God knows what else. The food at The Airport Cafe was tasty, light, and felt very clean eating. The home fries were equally excellent. I had the Riverside omelet and highly recommended it. On top of that, we met the owner. Her and her staff were very welcoming and wonderful hosts. They accommodated our Gluten free preference and made us feel like we weren't imposing as some places tend to due when requests Gluten free food. We'll definitely return when we go back.”

“Cenaduría Oaxaqueña Donaji truly exceeded my expectations. The restaurant is set in a house with limited parking, but plenty of street parking nearby. Luckily, we found a spot inside. As we stepped under the large white tarp, we were welcomed like guests at a family gathering, I immediately felt at home. While waiting for our table, they kindly seated us next to a heater, making the experience even more comfortable. From there, we could watch the food being prepared, and it was nothing short of an art form. After a brief 15-minute wait, we were seated and ready to enjoy our meal. I tried a tlayuda for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious, loaded with quesillo, beans, and three types of meat: cecina, chorizo, and what appeared to be chuleta. The portions were incredibly generous. We also shared a quesadilla with epazote, which was just as flavorful. With those two dishes, my wife and I had more than enough to eat. To top it off, the café de olla was incredible, and the hot chocolate was simply exquisite. I highly recommend visiting this hidden Oaxacan gem in Riverside!”

Indian • $
“I've eaten at all the Indian food places around here. Namaste has become my go to. A wide selection of dishes along with a lot of vegetarian options make it a place most anyone can eat. Love all their Tikka Masala, Korma, and curry dishes, from lamb, chicken or veggie. Their Vegetable Jalfrezi, Aloo Gobi, Aloo Began, and Saag paneer are excellent. They have the basic popular dishes as well as the lesser known dishes here. I've had most of them, and the ones I've listed are my favorite. Always get an extra order of Garlic Naan as I eat with my bread instead of a fork. I've occasionally had a rice missing with my order but nothing that makes me rate it lower. Still 5 stars.
I've ordered here every week this year(2025), 60 bucks worth feeds me my whole weekend(3 days). Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get.”

I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

Bar • $$
“Great bar to try new beers. They cycle through their taps quite frequently but still offer popular beers. Tap 1 is more often than not a nitro stout. This is my go to tap to try new stouts, however I also like to try their meads, red ales, etc. whenever possible.
Atmosphere is great also. The AC is usually amazing. Wall decor is eclectic. Seating /tables are unique, industrial, antique. Each barkeep usually has their own personal playlist running so the vibe kind of changes in a refreshing way. Lighting is dim but doesn't feel dark.
Staff is often very knowledgeable, helpful, full of character and whimsy. I come for the beer and stay for the atmosphere / people.
In short, this is a great bar. Try for yourself and see if you like it.”

“I've been a loyal customer of Carl Jr One of the primary reasons I keep coming back is the incredible deals and coupons they offer. I recently downloaded their app, which has made it even easier to stay up-to-date on the latest promotions.
A standout menu item for me is the Western bacon cheeseburger. It's consistently delicious and a great value, especially when combined with a coupon. I also appreciate the $6.99 tender deal, which is a fantastic option for a quick and affordable meal.
The service at this location is always top-notch. I've never had a major issue with my orders and the staff is friendly and efficient. I primarily use the drive-thru, and I've found that the wait times are reasonable. The convenience of being able to pick up my food and enjoy it at home is a huge plus for me.”

“If you want to be technical it wasn't terribly overpriced, but at its face $10.99 for a chocotaco is a bit of a shocker. Then figure in that everything is handmade on sight and it's quite a massive taco... Then not so bad. Taste was underwhelming, ice cream was dense.”
Mexican • $
“Had their “enchiladas divorciadas” and they we’re phenomenal! One was filled with juicy fresh steak and the other with grilled chicken. Chicken was also juicy and tasted exceptional. Came with rice and beans. My husband got their “empanadas de tinga.” Came with side of beans rice and garnishes.
We also had their sopa azteca 12oz and some ingredients were chicken, tortilla chips, avocado, in a rich tomato base soup. Not tangy and bitter. Just right!
This will be my new preferred Mexican restaurant. Price was reasonable for tasty quality Mexican food. Like my husband said “feels like we’re eating at home.” Food was authentic. ?↕️?↕️?↕️”

“I had ordered on-line for pick up. The small waiting area was full with 8 people when I arrived, I thought the store was behind. I stepped in, waited maybe 1 minute, and was greeted. My order was ready. He included a bag of way-to-many packs of parm and red pepper flake. (Now our pantry is stocked). He retrieved the Ranch needed for the wings and off I went. I left thinking that was amazing. Fast, effeceint and 20% off for ordering on-line. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I failed to tell them the store lights were off outside, I had a hard time seeing it for the first time coming here. Funny though, my driveway lights were not on yet either. I had to adjust my own timer.”

“The food here is decent but we tried it 2x after our acupuncture appt, my husband and I and it just doesn’t feel / taste super authentic. We took my son some menudo home to be the ultimate judge. He also said the menudo was plain no flavor. I didn’t clock on don’t recommend because it is reasonably priced. Service was rather slow though, my husband can drink a diet soda like I can my wine , and they just didn’t keep up with it for him. So if in a rut and need food and don’t care about flavor Ten this is your spot.”

“We had the chupe de camaron (shrimp chowder), platanos frito (fried plantains), and the pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) and it was all delicious. The server was so attentive and quick even though she was serving five tables alone. The cook in the back was also on point because we didn't end up waiting for our food as long as I thought, considering how busy it was. Super clean and comfortable. I didn't give it a 5, only because it was a tad pricey for casual dining. Excited to try the arroz chaufa (fried rice) next.”

We let her know that we were crunched for time, and she made it very clear that she would do her best to get everything out within our time restriction, but also explained that they are a small, made to order kitchen.
She and the kitchen staff slammed out as much wonderful food as they could in the time frame, and boxed up anything that we were unable to eat in time so thatbwe could take it with us. Me and a buddy both got a burger and were unable to eat them until after the funeral, and the burgers were still delicious!!
I can't thank you guys enough for making so much effort to make everything work!!”

“Northgate Market is my Sunday stop for groceries and food from their fabulous kitchen. And speaking of fabulous, the service is exceptional more specifically from Jose Martines who has helped me several times with the most pleasant and helpful attitude. Today on my way out, I spoke to the store manager and gave Jose a commendation. The manager was very appreciative of the feedback and went to Jose to thank him for the job he does. Additionally, the manager advised him of a complimentary lunch in appreciation of his great customer treatment. I was very impressed since most commendation only go as far as a pat on the back. The fact that the manager rewarded Jose, means so much more to Jose and to myself as the customer. Great Job Jose and Management for taking care and acknowledging you employees. 👏👏👏”

Sushi • $$
“Sushi was really good. It was a Friday night and service was fast. The only complaint is their mandatory tip that they charge all their customers. I don't like this practice. Raise your prices and pay your servers more. If it's mandatory, it is not a tip! Even worse, they didn't bring me an itemized receipt showing the tip was already paid. They just have the total price (which already includes 15%) and then leave a line for a tip and total. Horrible business practice! Luckily for me, I look out for things like that. I'm sure they get many suckers who tip more than they wished to on accident.”

“I went to try the steak gorgonzola plate that was retired a while ago. This new version was a disappointing experience. The main ingredient was the gorgonzola (meaning too much of it), I could not even taste the balsamic sauce, and the sun dried tomato was horrible. The steak was cut in small pieces, so you don't even get the 6 oz they state on the menu. Although the Toscana soup was good as usual.The server was the start of the show, very nice and extremely efficient. It had all tables very well attended.”

“Pizza is AMAZING, but for some reason, they can't get the cinnasticks right! I've ordered them multiple times, and they never come with frosting, and today I used my birthday rewards for a free order, and instead of cinnamon sticks, we got garlic bread sticks with frosting glaze on them. WTF?!?!”

“I was going to give them 5 stars but I didn’t just because the owner is never on time when it comes down to open and her employees have to wait for her . What a traditional way to manage people. Every time we go there they late to open. She must not need the money.
But the food is so good. Aside the fact of Mrs. Huevos don’t show on time everything else is so good !”

We all enjoy the buffet and food can sometimes be a bit of a hit or miss with availability of food options but it’s nice to have something to eat while the kids have fun with all the rides and games available for them to enjoy! We also at times join the fun in bumper cars or the spinning ride thing! Their are some wait times for the rides but its not a big deal! Overall like any attraction establishment the price is high per person but you do get endless buffet while you visit there!”

Sushi was very good for the IE, good rice ratio, tons of variety for ayce. Yes, they automatically add a tip depending on group size but it's reasonable. They were so good I added a few bucks more.

“I had ordered on-line for pick up. The small waiting area was full with 8 people when I arrived, I thought the store was behind. I stepped in, waited maybe 1 minute, and was greeted. My order was ready. He included a bag of way-to-many packs of parm and red pepper flake. (Now our pantry is stocked). He retrieved the Ranch needed for the wings and off I went. I left thinking that was amazing. Fast, effeceint and 20% off for ordering on-line. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. I failed to tell them the store lights were off outside, I had a hard time seeing it for the first time coming here. Funny though, my driveway lights were not on yet either. I had to adjust my own timer.”
