First time trying this place out today. My city no longer has a Thai food restaurant and this was the next closet shop. I ordered the Pad Thai Chicken and sweet and sour chicken. The food was so fresh especially the onions and bell peppers on sweet and sour chicken. I love that the menu was small because I'm sure they have perfected each plate. Definitely coming back. Oh great customer service on top. Friend smile when I walked in.

I recommend this place so much, I was around here and I stop for a quick bite and found this nice place " the delicious smell walk me in to it " I ask the person who was attending and he patiently explain to me all the dishes and what ingredients they put on them so I picked up the drunken noodle and it was more delicious than I expected today stopped again and he recommended the " Thai spicy chicken " # 8 in the menu it was so good, I'm looking forward to go eat something else and I highly recommend it it's affordable, clean and best of all delicious. I'll leave you here the pic of today

Exceptional, customer, service, with authentic outstanding food. If I can give 10 stars, I would. If your looking for Thai food, I highly recommend this spot. If your dish isn't up to par, they will make it right customer service at its finest, how it should be. I will be coming back next time I crave Thai food. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The place is connected to the donut shop next door. I believe the donut owner's son runs this shop. As mentioned by others the menu is limited but they had my favorite Thai dish, pad see ew. I noticed that they use Chinese broccoli so that was a plus. I ordered a side of rice as well. It was a lot of food when I got back to the office. The flavor of the food was good but it was a little dry so the noodles were stuck together so it was difficult to eat. I wish they would've put more of the broccoli in the dish.

Came here for a quick lunch while at work and everything about this place blew me away! The person behind the counter was extremely nice and the food was fantastic. I look forward to eating my way through their entire menu in the future!

Very good food been coming here since they opened!!!!! Staff is friendly and the place is always clean, quiet with a good atmosphere!!!!!!

Wow, what a hole in the wall! Definitely a gem and I am so glad I dropped in. Was in the area shopping at Lowe's and craving some Thai food, so I decided to swing by and pick some up for the family. I have to say, I love Drunken Noodles and usually go to a place near Hollywood in Thai town but THIS is my new go to! Perfect balance all around and just enough spice so it allows you to absorb the mouthful full of flavor in this dish. Besides Drunken Noodles, I also ordered sweet and sour chicken, pad Thai, and shrimp fried rice. It was solid all around. The prices for the portion of food definitely worth it. Also, the owner was super friendly and approachable. He was helpful with his recommendation which was spot on. Looking forward until next time, I'll be back soon to try other menu items and the drunken noodle. Ooh yeah, pretty neat plaza as well, able to get food and dessert in the same plaza as there's a donut shop next door.

Holy sh*t this place is good! Very well made noodles at strip mall prices. They don't hold back on the spices and seasoning. If you can't handle some nice heat in your Thai, it's not for you. I would have liked more gai lan in my drunken noodles, but all good. The flavor and execution is there. Pico Riverans finally have the Thai food they deserve. Will go back for more.

This is a small and clean place with tasty Thai food; always made fresh. There's something for everyone, as they offer tofu, chicken, beef, and shrimp. My favorite is #1 Pad Thai; it is flavorful and delicious! Their prices are pretty reasonable and their portions are not small. The guy taking orders (and answering the phone) is nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend this lunch spot.

Chicken bad see ew is not very flavorful and most of the noodles are stuck together. Service was great though. Quick.

This is an awesome hole in the wall Thai fast food spot. This is a newer restaurant that opened in Montebello and it is is great. The Pad Thai that I ordered was perfect. I also ordered a side of rice and between the Pad Thai and rice my wife and I were both full. The only thing that I would say is to ask for an extra wedge of lime. The flavors were really enhanced with lime and fresh onions and bean sprouts. It was actually refreshing and a joy to eat. Highly recommended.

Finally decided to this place since we were in the area. I've always wanted to stop by but never did. The food portions were decent. To Be honest, not much flavor. Just bland. We spent $26 on two to go plates and the pad sew yew is served with chicken as the main meat choice. If you want beef or shrimp it's an additional $3. For this price , it's crazy. It's not a restaurant. There's no combo plate choice. No drink with your order. The place a mile away IS a restaurant, with unlimited refills and they give a dessert. There's no comparison. We won't be coming back here. Express should, fast and cheap. Not as though we are at a restaurant. Nice friendly service though read more

Picked up drunken noodles during lunch. The food was ready quickly (my lunch is only 30 min). It was flavorful and good. The noodles didn't stick together nor were they dry (glad I didn't listen to those couple of reviews). Glad to have a local fast casual Thai spot down the street. Medium+ spiciness level will be my go-to. Also, service was very friendly, that's always a plus. read more

Ordered takeout through Yelp, and the food was still fresh & hot when I got home! The food was delicious, the chicken was tender, and the spice was definitely there in my Drunken Noodle. I only gave 4 instead of 5 stars because the noodles were a bit on the oily side food me, and I wished there was more seasoning/flavor in the dish overall. I added soy sauce and that helped a little. Also, the customer service was great. The young man who handed me my order was very kind and welcoming. I think I'll be back to try the Pad See Ew. read more

I wasn't expecting a single beef rib to be this impressive. The first thing that caught my…read moreattention was the size. It looked like something straight out of a food show. Thankfully, the taste lived up to the appearance. The meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It came right off the bone without falling apart completely, which gave it a really satisfying texture. What I liked most was that the beef itself was the star of the dish. It had a rich, smoky flavor and didn't rely on heavy seasoning or sauce to stand out. The lime wedges on the side were a surprisingly good addition and helped balance the richness of the meat. This was one of those dishes that made everyone at the table stop talking for a moment and just enjoy the food. Definitely the most memorable thing I ordered at Good Alley, and I would come back just for this beef rib.

It's the kind of spot where even simple dishes feel satisfying and consistent, and nothing felt like a miss. Love their XLBs! The restaurant was also noticeably clean, including the bathroom, which was well maintained and better than expected. There is however a long wait, me and my friend ended up waiting an hour one time, and 1.5 hour another time. Parking can be a bit limited during peak meal hours since the plaza has a lot of other popular eateries, so it might take a little patience to find a spot if you come during rush time. Outside of that, it's manageable. Service was friendly and efficient even when it was busy, and the overall vibe was welcoming.

Overall, a great addition to SGV, udon can be easily made but can also be hard as well if you don't know what you're doing.

The herbal soup and the black bone chicken soup both come with the black bone chicken. It has a lot of bones but it's a unique type of chicken that's much healthier than the regular chicken! You kind of have to eat the meat off the bones like eating chicken feet. They have other noodle soup options with other meat if you're not a fan of the bones. The broth itself was really flavorful. Lots of flavor but still tasted healthy. Perfect bowl of noodles for a cold day. Out of the herbal noodle soup and the black bone noodle soup, both were really delicious. They all come with rice noodle. It was the perfect portion size. The lady working was nice and came by to check up on us.

The broth is rich and creamy but not enough chicken. Their cold tofu pudding was amazing, texture and sweetness was perfect for my taste bud. I can't wait to return and try other items.

The food is freshly made and so yummy. This is not fast food it's cooked family style and with flavor. One of the few food gems in Montebello.

More than okay, it was deliciously astray from my normal. The meat is smoky and delicious with a small amount of sauce to give a hint of sweet and sassiness. Three meat dinner for two was enough for two, and there was a small amount of leftovers for the next day. Mac and cheese wasn't too saucy and the pulled pork sliders will have a place in my heart (and gut!). Ordering out is easy and pickup was a breeze. The parking situation is pretty simple with many spaces available. While it's not exactly my type of BBQ, I'll definitely be back. If you're in the mood for smoky ribs and brisket, with a killer pulled pork, this is the place. It's hard to achieve a subtle perfection and I thank Southside for their hard work.

I remember really liking it, but for some reason we hadn't been back in a while. This week my husband couldn't stop talking about wanting an Italian sub, and Frumento's immediately came to mind. We drove down and ordered the '58 Classic and another tuna sub, both as combos. The sides absolutely stole the show. The purple cabbage was so good, the coleslaw wasn't my personal favorite but my husband loved it, the four bean salad was absolutely mouthwatering, and the marinated mushrooms were also delicious. I'm genuinely so glad we have leftovers for tomorrow because I'll definitely be thinking about that bean salad again. We'll absolutely be back!

You can make any of their sandwiches into a combo plate for $3 more you get 2 sides (Mombo Meal). Their sides were good but not amazing, personally will be sticking to just their sandwiches. JALAPENO STACK -sooo good! Roast beef, turkey breast and Italian dry salami paired well together. Avocado added perfect creaminess. Their Cheesy Jalapeno Snack Bread is amazing, top had just the right amount of crisp from being toasted. FRUMENTO'S GRILLED PHILLY -opted for half roast beef and half smoked turkey breast and it was just what I needed. Solid hot sandwich. TASTE OF ITALY -a classic cold cut sandwich, it was good but their hot sandwiches were much better. Desserts were a hit or miss here. Tried the Strawberry Cheese cake and that was really good- creamy, airy and not too sweet. Tiramisu was a bust- mainly vanilla cake, bit too sweet, no espresso flavor, cream didn't have any mascarpone cheese flavor at all.

My coworker and I visited this place for the first time last week, and it's definitely a hidden gem. Although it may not look like much, the food was absolutely incredible! Every dish was fresh and bursting with flavor. The owner, Joey, was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The service was fast and efficient, and he made sure we felt welcome throughout our meal. The Thai tea was especially delicious! I'll definitely be back to try more of their specialties. read more
