I like this place. It's quiet and comfortable the people who work the restaurant are very nice. The food is simple, fast and comparable to cooking it at home. The fact that there kitchen is open and you can see into it is reassuring of quality and standards. Not that price should be a factor for a good meal but it is very inexpensive to eat well here. This is a little gem of a restaurant in El Monte.

I have been coming to this place for a long time now and I love it! The food is amazing and truly won't disappoint. The flavor of their burgers is *chef's kiss*. You can tell they put effort and love into what they do.

I was looking for a new place to celebrate national sandwich day and came across this place with a high rating. I was not disappointed at all. The pastramis came out hot and fresh as did the Teriyaki chicken sandwich. Everyone was completely satisfied and looking forward for the next order.

I went here at least once a week for lunch. I am moving away and will miss this place. Nice place to sit and have lunch, kind service and prices are fair. Definitely try the teriyaki steak & chicken subs. I regularly got their cheese burger combos as well.

Im a big fan of pastrami sandwiches. It was my 1st time there & I was given such great reviews about the place that I thought "I have to go with the Pastrami & cheese oprion!" Now, if u know a GOOD pastrami sandwich, u definitely would expect a sandwhich that doesn't because its stuffed with pastrami, right? Well.... not this one. My sandwhich was thinner than the cold cut my partner got and just made me think "poor th8ng, what happened?" It was disappointing unfortunately BUT the other sandwich was good so as much as I wanted to give it a 3-Star, I figured I'd be fair since the cold cut was good & hearty. Atmosphere was suited for the look of the place, so Id say the whole place needs a more welcoming update. However, it was clean so I figured Id be fair again & not give it a 3 star.

Stopped by this hidden gem in El Monte earlier today. You will not be disappointed! I had the pastrami burger combo and the six inch pastrami combo for my daughter. Both were great and I highly recommend this spot!! I'll be returning soon!
