    Chilaquiles
    Rong F.

    Ordered the Chilaquites-1 star The worse Maxican food I've ever had Tortilla chips taste old n blend. The green sauce on the top I turned sour badly ruin my appetite. Beans is blend as well. I couldn't finish this dish at all. Green sauce turned bad bubbling sour! I told the front girl, asking if I can switch it to red sauce. The other guy then walked out of kitchen brought me the red sauce instead, but it's still equally bad. Do not serve anything when it's not fresh no more!

    Buy one get one deal here ! Had a chubby burger and burrito! I paid for drink and coffee I believe I payed less than 20 ! Great deal TBH ! Service was cool

    The specials are great. I love the Kebobs but like most places with kebobs they are kinda pricey.

    Mo's Breakfast. Looks good, potatoes were cold..

    I was out with my daughter, taking care of her DMV stuff for her new car I just bought her, and we were in the neighborhood, so I had her google a spot for us to have breakfast. Z's pulled up and we were only 1 mile away and decided to give it a go. Since it was highly rated (4.5 stars) I expected it to be really good. It wasn't... The eggs were okay, the bacon wasn't as crispy as I had hoped for, and the potatoes were cold. My daughters bagel was okay, she said.. Overall we spent close to $40 and I wasn't amused. The music and all the pictures on the wall was pretty cool, but that's about it. Overall it was a 3 star establishment for me, because the young lady taking our order, was nice. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

    Came in on a Sunday for brunch. Pretty busy but we got our food quickly. Fairly priced menu with tons of options. Clean restaurant with patio seating. Love their coffee/tea bar. You would expect this restaurant to be a sit down place but one must order/pay at counter. Also we couldn't find napkins and had to continuously ask staff for them. The staff was friendly though. My child enjoyed her turkey sandwich. My wife loved her sunrise combo and I devoured my brunch combo. Everything was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back even if we have to bring our own napkins.

    It was so delicious!

    My loved ones brought me food from here today and let me tell you it was so good!! I'm not 100% sure how it's on the menu but it was chicken, rice, hummus, salad & pita bread. Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!

    #203.Lara's Chicken Breast Kabob
    Katie C.

    I love their Sizzling Kabobz! Sometimes they serve it with an authentic pita bread which I love. But sometimes it's served with those store bought pita breads that are more pillowy and bread like, I don't prefer. #207 Raffi's Super Kabob Combo- perfect for indecisive people! You get both beef and chicken. Chicken breast was not dry at all and was tender and juicy. Beef was just the same. Both were flavorful. Rice is always seasoned well. #201 Ground Beef Lule Kabob- seasoned well and tender. I did not like their Chilaquiles breakfast plate. Didn't seem coherent. Tortilla chips were just topped with sauce and drizzled with sour cream, added chopped onions and cilantro. Seemed dry even with sauce topped all over. Egg on top was over done when I asked for over easy. Stick to their non breakfast items. You can order them all day long even during breakfast hours.

    No words are needed for today's visit this was extremely good today and I only paid 12.14 with tax for this special ! The server was super nice and recommended this deal to me I will be back !

    I want to start off by saying the only reason this place is getting a two star is because of how good the food was but your closing cashier has a negative/bad attitude. This was mine and my boyfriend first and only time ever coming here. The place looked closed to begin with even though they closed in two hours we got here at five, this was a cute little diner we spotted on our way home and decided to stop at on a whim. When walking in there was only two people in there for such a good rating restaurant which was confusing but once we got to the cashier, I now understand why there was probably no customers. I started off with my order asking for a Ground Beef Lule kabob plate, I didn't know there was more than one hummus which the cashier copped a attitude when I asked exactly what kind they had he rudely said "not what kind but what ones" which made me feel very stupid because of how belittling he spoke towards over hummus! Not only that after he rushed us with our oder he was talking loudly on his phone while just stayed sitting behind the counter. I am so upset and disappointed because of how good the food was but I had such a bad experience. I'm sure this business has other closing cashiers but to be specific it was the person with the speech impediment.

    Mr. Z!!!! Where did you go!?!?! We use to see you at Monterey Pass location. Now we found you again in Montebello but you left again! We miss ya! All kidding aside, the food was great. Kids got chicken tenders and fries and chubby burger with fries and drink. Monthly specials were great! I got the chicken lule kabob plate. Came with 2 kabobs and by the time I realized to take a pic I ate one already. Huge portions and will return again.

    Are there any vegan options available?

    I'm sure there is. A lot of Armenian food is vegan by nature.

    Is this the same Z's that's located in Vernon?

    No Vernon location. This Z's is the same place that once was on Monterey Pass Road in the industrial section of Monterey Park...They moved to DTLA...then four months ago or and they moved back to the SGV...to the old Rods location in Montebellow.… Read more

I am genuinely thrilled to have such an upscale, quiet, and relaxing restaurant right here in my neighborhood. You can truly taste the chef's passion and dedication in every dish. Every time I bring friends here, they are absolutely amazed and delighted by the flavors. We ordered quite a few dishes today. The highlight was the Chilean Sea Bass. The chef served a massive, beautifully thick cut--which is actually the hardest to execute. If overcooked even slightly, Chilean Sea Bass becomes dry and tough. But the timing here was absolutely perfect. It had a gorgeous, golden-brown exterior, while the inside remained incredibly moist, tender, and delightfully springy. The seasoning was spot-on and never overpowering; it wasn't too salty, perfectly preserving the natural, fresh flavors of the sea. We also had the Chicken Bowtie Pasta. I typically avoid chicken dishes at restaurants because they often turn out dry and lack the rich aroma you get from beef or lamb. However, Sage's chef elevates chicken to another level. Rather than using the traditional Cantonese technique of quickly flash-frying in oil (which yields a smooth texture but sacrifices the natural meat aroma), the chef here expertly pan-sears the chicken over extremely high heat for a short time. This creates a deliciously crisp exterior that locks in all the juices and rich flavor. Tossed with perfectly cooked bowtie pasta and cheese, the result is so flavorful and well-balanced that we simply couldn't stop eating! Another great thing about Sage is their incredibly generous portion sizes--we left completely satisfied! We finished our meal with a great cup of coffee and the chef's handmade Tiramisu, drawing a perfect, sweet close to our evening. Highly recommend!
