Mondo Asian Grill

Delicious authentic Thai food with $10-12 lunch specials!!! I haven't written a review in awhile, but I think they deserve one and I would love to see them in business for a long time with more customers. I found this amazing place while driving around for lunch. I was happy to find such a great lunch deal here! Lunch comes with a vegetable egg roll and a wonton with a delicious sweet sauce. I wasn't sure if the prices from other people's pictures was still accurate, but it is 2025 and only $10-12 for lunch specials! I tried the panang curry which comes with rice and an amazing red curry sauce and all meat. I got beef and it was the best panang curry I have ever had! The flavors were a bit different than what I have tried at other places, but tasted authentic, not so sweet like other places, so good, and something I would eat again. I am not a big fan of overly sweet food, so this hit the spot and was the best panang curry. I also tried their spicy basil chicken which came as ground up chicken. It kind of reminds me of larb. It was delicious, full of flavor, and something I have been wanting more of. If I had a side of raw vegetables it would be even more perfect. Their thai iced coffee comes in a big plastic container and was so good! It wasn't overly sweet which makes it easier to drink. I will definitely be coming back now often. Affordable, delicious, authentic, and nice and cute restaurant. Plenty of free parking.

Great food. Great Service. Phad Thai - Delicious Khao Soi Curry - Delicious Pad See Ew - Delicious Thai Boat - was ok

Had some Sunday lunch at this branch. To My surprise, the servings are so generous that it can serve for 2. The yellow curry taste so good and the pad thai is the best recommendation for me. Go and try them out. This is one of the best thai restaurants you can go to. I guess this branch is more cozy than cerritos. And mind you the service is excellent too. Kudos to Gwyn.

I've dined in Monora a few times already, and each time was a relaxed and delicious experience. It's located in a small plaza surrounded by businesses and near Kaiser Medical Offices. The dining area is spacious with comfy tables and seats, and a few booths. The lunch specials are what initially caught my eye, as they offer great value with generous portions. I enjoyed the Spicy Basil Chicken with rice (Pad Krapow), and even took some leftovers. Curries are also a favorite Thai dish. And Monora prepares this well, too. Three levels of spiciness are available—mild, medium and spicy. I've also ordered a small Thai Iced Tea, and it was surprisingly larger than I thought. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu, including the many entrées and appetizers. The staff has been kind and attentive. Ordering options include dine-in, take-out, call-in, and website. I highly recommend this business if you're in the area. It's a local hit.

One of our favorite Thai restaurants. We love their beef pad see ew! ❤️ They also offer lunch specials on weekdays and lots to choose from the menu. The restaurant is a bit hard to find but they have lots of parking spaces for customers. Great food and friendly service!

I ate here because it was by the place I was going. There was a lunch special menu, so I ordered Pad Thai, Pad see-ew fried rice, 2 chicken, and 1 beef. The friendly server was busy working alone, but served the food quickly. Egg rolls and wonton were also included in the lunch special. It was good and the food was all delicious, so two people ate the three dishes we ordered.

It won’t be hard to miss, it’s in the biggest building in the strip mall, lots of parking. Covered in windows, it’ll probably be brightly lit at daytime, we dined at night and their lighting was a bit subdued. Lots of tables and they can easily accommodate a big group. Lots of food to order from the menu, we ordered a bunch, all of them were pretty good.

really incredible food. the yellow curry and pad Thai were so solid, and actually was 45oz as advertised. very spicy, be careful! the pad see ew was the only thing that needed some love. but we’d still definitely go back

Great place for lunch, they have lunch specials! Came here with two coworkers. Place was busy but we were quickly seated. All three plates that we ordered were delicious. The Thai tea is a total hit!🤩 Staff is friendly. Definitely recommend.

Great Thai Street food around the area of La Palma, Buena Park & Cypress. I've been to the Cerritos location many times but the La Palma location it was my 1st. I've been craving for Thai food due to social media watching Mark Wiens ~Migrationology. Great location just under 4 miles from where I live. Great service with awesome hospitality with enormous spacious environment & great friendly restraurant staffs and also large spacious parking spaces since it's location in a plaza behind Kaiser Permanente Medical Plaza. My 1st time visit there I had the Papaya Salad, Pa-Nang Curry & Thai Ice Coffee(32oz). Very delicious!

Delicious food and great service! I got a beef boat noodle soup and the flavors were so rich. Staff are very friendly too! Fair pricing.

This was my first time trying Thai food and it did not disappoint! Literally everything was fresh and it tasted AMAZING! Definitely coming back, this is my new spot!

Very good food! We came to eat here on a Sunday afternoon. Not packed at all, and the food was DELICIOUS! Was recommended to me by a friend and wow! I’m so glad I tried this place out! I will be coming back with more people. The servers are very humble and attentive and get us our food quickly. The pad-Thai chicken is 🔥 Definitely try this place out!

We DoorDashed the Hainan chicken and Thai basil chicken rice. Both tasted so good and I have to say that they have the best Thai rice I have ever tasted. The rice alone deserves my 5 star. The only thing we didn’t like was the sauce with Hainan chicken but we just substituted with soy sauce and used the ginger. This place is so worth trying.

SOPHIE BLANC

Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had!!!!! Highly highly recommended. My friends and I shared several curries and noodle dishes and each of us had a different favorite! Yellow curry and Pad Thai were the most cited. Accommodated my fish allergy beautifully

Monora La Palma Asian Street Food Bar is such a hidden gem! They actually have Hainan chicken rice even though it’s not on the menu — and it was amazing! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the curry was delicious too. We went on Saturday around 12:30 pm (they open at 12), and it was pretty empty, so no waiting time at all. Free parking is another big plus. Definitely worth checking out!

I got my food to go. The Khao Soi came as a kit to assemble when ready to eat. It didn't have bean sprouts, but maybe I'm just used to having those with it. The wings were good. The wings came with a sweet and sour sauce. There were only three other parties there eating. I've gotta come back to try some more dishes.

The drunken noodles with crispy pork were amazing. The crispy pork is pork belly and it stayed crispy even when I reheated. They were very savory with tones of soy sauce and oyster sauce balanced with the acidity of the bell peppers (and I think tomatoes). The noodles were very soft. It’s a nostalgic type of taste. The only problem is the oil… so much oil.

Came for lunch at 11:30am with only 2 other tables sat. Took 30 mins for food to arrive. Boat noodles super salty broth unable to get a 1/3 of the way through before stopping. Pad see ew was very good though however. Service was very friendly but your food isn’t coming out very quick, so if you’re in a hurry go elsewhere.

Place was recommended from friend. Rice and beef has weird after smell. Pork ribs tasted old and microwaved. The only thing that was good was the papaya salad, but still the papaya was not that fresh. Service was mediocre ask for chili's multiple of times. Worst thing was all of us felt immediately extremly sleepy from all that msg. Bad day? Or only good for people with no taste buds? Lol won't be trying this place again. The only reason why I see someone giving this place 5 stars is maybe the portions or they work nearby.
