Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food. They gave us a bunch of them in bags. Everything was good, I would say that my favorite is still their zucchini fries and ranch, I love their ranch and glad they gave us a couple containers because I needed more. Definitely a great bite to grab, I think I prefer snacks from here like their huge portion of fries but their burgers are really good as well.

I used to live a few minutes away from Jim's, but only came here once many years ago, before my…read morerecent visit. My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.

Good balance of ingredients- hashbrown, egg meat. Could be bigger and packed with more meat. I think Arties burger has bigger. I like they don't add excess salt. So you can season yourself.

Luckily, JB was just across the street from UPS (where I was). You order outside at the window and pick up inside. The inside was like long dining hall with tables and chairs along each side and booths at the back. The guy at the counter was very friendly and was chatting with each customer. The breakfast burrito was made fresh with scrambled eggs, hash brown, bacon. It was a good size - enough to share for me and my hubby!

The staff was very helpful with upgrading our lunch box fries to chili cheese fries for only $4.50 more, as well as making the hamburger into a cheese burger for $1.00 more. The lunch box was so filling that my sister and I shared it and we were satisfied. The $14 base price for the lunch box (can be ordered after lunch time and well into the evening) was excellent for a classic burger, delicious chicken tenders, a cookie, and fries. Their fresh lemonade was also so good! I will definitely be back to try more items!!

Found this place right next to Golden Alley Reserve, and it turned out to be a great find for…read moreNorthwestern Chinese comfort food. The highlight for me is definitely the spicy hand-pulled noodles with slow-cooked beef brisket. The noodles have that perfect, chewy pull, and the brisket is super tender and packed with flavor. Don't skip the pickled cucumber either--it's crisp, refreshing, and balances out the heat of the noodles perfectly. It wasn't crowded at all when I went, which made for a relaxed meal with quick, attentive service. The only slight catch is the shared parking lot, it gets pretty busy with all the other restaurants in the plaza, so you might have to circle once or twice during peak hours. Still, definitely worth the stop if you're craving legit Xi'an eats in the area.

Saw the red bold letters driving by on Duarte Rd and immediately made plans to come here for Xi'an…read morefood! We don't usually see specific Xi'an food around all the time, so my fiancé and I were excited to come back. Now we know, Xi'an Foodie has delicious, authentic Xi'an food here at affordable prices as well. We go all out when we are trying somewhere new for the first time usually, so we got 5 dishes for less than $75 including tax and tip. We ordered the 1) Smashed Cucumber Salad 黄瓜, 2) Sesame Sauce Cold Spicy Noodle 凉拌辣面, 3) Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍, 4) Li Lao San's Cumin Lamb Hamburger / 李老三孜然羊汉堡, and 5) Youpo Noodles with Braised Beef Brisket, Beef Paste & Fried Eggs with Tomato / 油泼+三合一. First, they have the best Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) in SoCal that I've had - they are amazingly chewy and wide, and their tangy savory sauce is the best. When I think about liangpi, I'm definitely going to Xi'an food for another slurp of these noodles mmmm! I also haven't had Li Lao San's Lamb Stew with Flatbread / 李老三牛肉泡馍 in a while, so that was a must-get. This is my favorite thing of all Xi-an cuisine and a traditional dish as well. It is slow-cooked lamb broth and torn pieces of handmade flatbread dough to make it into a warm soup; it's rich and seasoned with herbs and spices for that perfect sip and I just love chewing on the dough inside the soup. I didn't know this was missing from my life until I had another sip and now I crave it every day! The service is fast and our waitress was friendly and helpful. They brought all of our dishes out in less than 10 minutes and our whole table was filled. We ordered way too much food, and we know it, so we got to take it all home to enjoy for another meal. We will definitely be coming back for their lamb stew, liang pi, and wide noodles!

Same taste as I ate in Xi An China, very delicious the beef.

This place is a classic. I remember coming here years ago when I was in elementary school. The menu has literally not changed after all these years. The guy and his wife are here day in and day out.

I wasn't expecting much until I bit into it! We took it home and to our surprise, it turned out to be a double cheeseburger with grilled onions. Before I tried it I took out a patty to save for my granddaughter as well as most of the fries! This Combo is so worth the price , it's enough for two and you can taste the freshness! The burger is seasoned and grilled to a yummy consistency, the grilled onions are also grilled and seasoned to a melt in your mouth texture, the cheese which I usually don't like added to the flavor and the sauce that is added all made for the Perfect Burger!!! The side of chili was yummy and we dipped our perfectly fried potatoes to it. This combo is so worth the price and the portion was generous! I will be back soon! VJ's Burger is a MUST!!!
