    Large sized Pastrami & Provolone on their revelatory bread
    Scott W.

    Your favorite Yelp correspondent's curiosity for SOURDOUGH & COMPANY was triggered, not unlike baiting a hook, when he saw the "Coming Soon" signs posted outside a future S&C post in Chino Hills on SAT night. Lawd hammercy- A fast casual sandwich place devoted to my favorite all time bread?! Count me in!!!! So when my SUN shift ferrying meals culminated at 6:32pm in Arcadia, I'd remembered that S&C had a store in nearby Monrovia and swiftly placed an online order for a Pastrami with Provolone, sized large. The sole edits I made to the sandwich? Tossed the tomato because the seeded fruit, while fine on certain cold sandos, is a downright combatant to well made hot sandwiches. I mean, unless you like the soggy wetness of tomatoes to bog down your bread amd transform an otherwise winning meal into a sloppy, wet mess! My sandwich itself? Warrants a 4.5 of 5 stars. And I'm a tough grader esp on pastrami since my preference is for the wickedly delish strami served by Jewish Delis a la Katz (NYC), Miller's East Coast (SF) and Brent's Deli in Northridge. The artisinal quality bread is redonkulously fabulous! Perfectly crisp, crackling exterior that folds down into a softer, doughier bite yet is still sturdy enough to withstand any volume of meat or weight of spreads. The pastrami itself gets 4 stars on flavor -but look who I'm comparing it to!-, 5 on bread and a 4.5 on texture of the meat (always noteworthy when selecting a brined meat such as pastrami, brisket or corned beef). In my opinion S&C is a lil stingy w/ the meat to bread ratio- I'm pragmatic enough to grasp that a retailer like S&C cannot make like Brents or Katz and lavish customers with a half pound or four-plus inches in height of pastrami...but I found the allocated pastrami portion (around 3 or 4oz or 1" in height) to be wanting. Especially because I'd upgraded to the store's L size sandwich! We'll peg their meat to bread ratio as a 3. The young man who served me was awesome. Graciously pointed me to the restroom and even remarked how he'd "Moved your pickle to the side," because while I relish an authentically brined cucumber as an accompaniment to my sandwiches the sole sandos that taste GOOD with a pickle on em are a Chik Fil A Chicken Sando or virtually any BBQ pulled pork entrant. Note: Am I the only diner in America who wishes the restaurant staff would stop hiding or flipping over their name tags?! That's the lone way we have of identifying you! Stand behind your employer and display your name tags w/ your name facing out! You can tell a lot by a restaurant by how clean it keeps its restrooms. Not only does S&C extend its "Americana Farmhouse" decor into the restroom, but the space itself is maintained to a clean, hospitable appearance. Talk about a welcoming sight! This particular S&C is cozily nestled between a Jamba Juice and a See's Candy in the Foothill Park Plaza in Monrovia. A quite suitable arrangement given that I suspect most guests will quickly develop sugar-sweet feelings for S&C's winning combo of well made sandwiches/salads, good service set in a clean, welcoming environment. I probably won't make it back to the Monrovia spot anytime soon but I do look forward to welcoming its brand new entrant to the Chino Hills area, a simple ten minute drive from my Diamond Bar home.

    Sourdough & Co. is a newly opened sandwich shop in Monrovia that offers a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. We ordered the pastrami sandwich combo with chips and drinks. The pastrami was flavorful and served on fresh sourdough bread, making for a delicious sandwich. The restaurant has a small seating area for those who want to dine in. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, it's a great addition to the neighborhood and worth stopping by for a fresh sandwich.

    This is my new favorite local sandwich spot. I love sourdough bread and the sandwiches are so good. Packed with the good stuff and the bread is fresh. I love they have size options for sandwiches and their specialty sandwiches are delicious. The staff are friendly, and always answers all my questions and let me know their favorites. Inside is decorated with some fun decide. There's 5 tables to sit at inside and a restroom that's clean and easy to access

    A sunny stop at Sourdough & Co that hit exactly right. Went all in on the peppered turkey stacked high, just the right bite of spice, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and that tangy sourdough doing what it does best holding everything together while stealing a little of the spotlight. Every layer felt intentional, balanced, and unapologetically fresh. The chips-and-a-drink special sealed the deal simple, classic, and somehow perfect for the moment. No frills, just comfort done well. Service was quick, smiles were easy, and the whole place carried that easygoing neighborhood energy you want on a laid-back afternoon. Good sandwich,

    My family and I randomly stumbled upon Sourdough & Co. We were looking for a place to get a nice lil snack before we had to make our way to a 3 o'clock appointment. We figured we'd stop in and at least take a peek. The first thing that hits you is the amazing smell of freshly baked bread. I don't frequent too many sandwich shops. Lately, however, I have been eating at more places like my local Giamela's italian subs, Jersey Mike's and the occasional subway. Looking at the description of some of these sandwiches, I knew my little one and my other half would both really enjoy some "sammiches" (as I call them) from here. Immediately, I must admit, nothing really caught MY eye. Then I saw that they offered sourdough bread, bowls with soup. That is kind of a weakness of mine. I ended up with the chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. It took a lil longer for me to get my soul in the bread bowl. That was fine. It was SO SUPER fresh! First bite of bread... I was in LOVE!!! It was slightly crusty on the outside. It was super duper soft and spongy on the inside. The bread was absolutely perfect. My only regret is that I wish I had ordered more bread in my initial order. By the time that we all finished our snacks, which ended up to be more like meals, we agreed as a family that we needed to buy a loaf of the sourdough bread and take it home. Now, when requesting a loaf of bread to take home, you have two different options. You can take home a loaf that is par baked (not completely baked and so you'd have to take the bread home and toss it into your own oven for a lil while) or you can take one home that is 100% baked. We bought a baguette that was already completely baked. The funny thing, I remember buying the bread and bringing it home. After it made it into the kitchen, and it was announced to everybody in the family that this bread was available for all of us to share, it disappeared. It was so good. It didn't last more than a day. The soup I had was delicious. My little one had a chicken pesto sandwich that was amazing. My little one loves pesto to begin with so this was an obviously clear choice. Even better, I was able to order this adult sounding sandwich as a kid's meal. OMG that was perfect! (My lil one is indeed young but they fancy more sophisticated flavors than just grilled cheese or a classic pb&j.) My other half, he had a brisket sandwich. He really loved that. Everything we had, the service that was provided to us, the clean, dining area, the fun, light hearted chit chat... it was all wonderful and made our whole experience that much more memorable. I actually am looking forward to a second trip here. I would like to try another soup but also to get some more bread to take home. This small shop opened a few months ago. This is information that we found out by speaking with the employees. One of them happens to be a Seahawks fan. GO HAWKS!! (Super Bowl 60 champs) there is ample free parking available in this strip mall. They are right next-door to the See's Candies. I don't know their hours or anything like that, but I am sure you can find that on either their website or here, on yelp. They are a tiny shop and make everything to order. So don't be surprised if there's a little wait when you go and order your sandwich after several other people. All of the staff were so friendly. We will definitely visit again when we need to travel back out toward that area for another appointment. This is probably going to be a regular stop of ours now. I hope it'll become a regular spot for you too!

    Caprese Sandwich fresh mozzarella, pesto aioli, lettuce, tomato & balsamic glaze
    Cher B.

    I have been waiting for this place to open. I finally got a chance to go today. I ordered the smoked brisket sandwich and also the Caprese sandwich. I ordered the 4 inch for both sandwiches. I recently saw someone on Instagram do a review of these two sandwiches which is why I wanted to try them. When I walked in, I was greeted immediately by a young man who was very nice. He took my order and gave me a very specific. Wait time of 8 to 10 minutes. As I was sitting there, people started coming in. It was getting busy. It's a very small place. I think there was maybe five little tables inside and once it gets busy it is kind of crowded cause you're standing right on top of you. I took the sandwiches home and tried half of each of them. Honestly, they were both delicious. The only thing I would say is that it is quite pricey for what you're getting. The 4 inch sandwiches were each $12.99. That is a lot of money for a small sandwich like that. The sourdough roll was delicious. Perfectly cooked. The crust was crunchy. The inside was soft and we had such a great flavor. Honestly, I don't know that I would go back and spend that amount of money for a tiny sandwich.

    The vibes!

    Sourdough & Co is finally open in Monrovia - I love soups and anything to do with sourdough bread so I've been anxiously awaiting their opening! I had a solid first visit and will likely return - the bread was lovely and I enjoyed their veggie soup especially. The staff were so enthusiastic and welcoming - really made my day! For our first lunch we tried the veggie soup, chicken salad sandwich, and I couldn't resist sampling their "signature mac n'cheese" from the advertisement.  The veggie soup was packed full of a surprising variety of veggies like zucchini, carrots, corn, tomato, and more. It was hearty and tasted light and fresh. It was pretty mild and I feel like it could've used a bit more salt but definitely something I'd get again. The mac n'cheese was alright - nothing special - and it definitely didn't look like the advertisement so I was a little disappointed. It tasted like your everyday fast casual mac n'cheese and probably not something I'd get again - but if you like that sort of fast casual fare it's a decent version. I enjoyed our chicken salad sandwich - it's made with grapes and walnuts and the chicken was decent quality. It came in large chunks which was fine but my personal preference is the shredded chicken - that would've taken it up a level for sure (it was still good though).  I wasn't sure how their chicken salad was made so I asked for mayo to be added and it definitely didn't need it - it has plenty of mayo already. But their signature dijon mustard was a nice addition so I do recommend trying that out - it went surprisingly well. They also have a wide variety of cheese options to add so I went with pepper jack and was a good combo. They have plenty of chip varieties to choose from if you add those onto your sandwich, as well as your standard soft drink selection, a couple of lemonade flavors, and even several cookie choices. The menu is quite large so there's something for everyone - sandwiches, soups, salads, wraps, flatbreads and more. Prices are on par for the area and supported by the quality for the most part.  The vibes are fast casual but cozy and it would be a good spot to enjoy your lunch. They're located next to See's Candy in the very busy Von's plaza right at the entrance to Old Town Monrovia but there's plenty of parking.  You can tell the staff are excited to be open - they were so bubbly and warm and eager to talk about the menu and answer questions - a very nice welcome on my first visit. A solid addition to the growing food choices in the area - welcome to Monrovia!

    Clam chowder in a bread bowl
    Karina V.

    Was under the weather & wanted some comfort food. Ordered a bread bowl of clam chowder. The sourdough is perfectly toasty warm 10/10. Clam chowder was 6.5/10 though. I've had better at other local spots. Wish it had more clams :( I would come back and try a different soup in the bread bowl. The service was great & the place is very clean!!!

    I been to the rancho location and now the Monrovia one as well. The sourdough is toasted to perfect, the meat is well seasoned and the flavor is great. I highly recommend this sandwich place. Plus the place is very clean and the people have been very friendly. I think if you don't try it you might be missing out on something good.

    I love their sandwiches, this is my new favorite sandwich spot. I work in sierra madre and will make the drive here for my lunch break as often as I can.

Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

[Atmosphere]: Casual dine-in setup and you are not exactly coming here to vibe but rather to enjoy good Taiwanese comfort food. [Menu]: The signature dish to order here for 1st timer is definition #1 Sausage Rice as their Taiwanese sausage is their claim to fame item. While Yelp's top highlighted items include #36 Popcorn Chicken and #2 Fried Pork Chop (all solid picks), I am a sucker on their noodle bowls such as #24 Beef Noodle Soup and #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup. As a general rule of thumb, The general rule of thumb is their menu has picture of featured items and those are the one to get. The signature dish to order here for a 1st timer is definitely #1 Sausage Rice as their Taiwanese sausage is their claim-to-fame item.

The general rule of thumb is any dishes with pictures on the menu = featured items. *** #25 Steamed mini pork bun (aka XLB prep takes 15 minutes - 10 pieces for $16.29): The XLB here had thick skin and was not super juicy, but it had an excellent flavor profile. #1 Sinbala Sausage Rice ($15.38): This remains the classic dish to order and is still one of the best Taiwanese sausages in LA and Orange County. #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup ($15.38): If a restaurant sells any stew noodle soups, then you know that's a legit Taiwanese restaurant. The flavor profile really hit the spot and reminded me of the same stew noodle soup I had from Taiwan street vendors. *** This still remains one of my top Taiwanese restaurants in Southern California as there are fewer and fewer legit Taiwanese restaurants in Los Angeles / Orange County now.

    SinBala - Arcadia…read more SinBala is one of the rare Taiwanese restaurants that has stood the test of time. I grew up eating here. There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories. I come for the Taiwanese classics that are becoming harder to find. The popcorn chicken is still one of my favorites--crispy, fragrant, and seasoned the way Taiwanese street vendors do it. The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.
