Monark is fantastic. I’m no expert on Chinese food, but it seems like they have a keen focus on making traditional dishes with some fusion optionality.

The restaurant is clean, relaxing, and comforting. Please go.

Fantastic blend of some more traditional dishes and some more Americanized dishes, just what we were looking for. The food tastes so fresh and flavorful. The steamed Dover sole and the Emperor's Choice are our particular favorites so far.

I’ve been to the Monarch bistro twice now, and I would have to say that the food is well prepared and flavor of the food is good. Presentation is nice the owner and the staff are all very friendly.

My one complaint would be that the prices are high, and the portions are very small

I went there three days ago, and found that the prices were much higher than the menus that were displayed here on the Internet

And the portions...
