Su-Beoreg & Monta Factory

Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate This Week: May 5 | Eater LA

"Located in a neighborhood with deep Armenian roots (the Armenian Institute estimates that nearly 3,000 Armenians laid roots in Pasadena as early as 1923), this family-run shop has been operated by the Yegiazaryan family for decades and specializes in traditional monta dumplings and the buttery, layered regional dish su beoreg. Don’t overlook the salmon sandwich, which features expertly grilled wild-caught fish, layers of organic greens, and tahini. It’s a faultless LA sandwich: uncomplicated, built with high-quality ingredients, made by a family that feeds the surrounding neighborhood. Best to plan the meal outing with a friend — order the su beoreg, monta, and sandwich, and marvel over the flavors. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
