Bachan's Take Out

Hello my friends how are you? I hope everybody’s staying positive. I do not recommend this place because. While I was eating, I found a chew gum inside my food. I tell the lady to get a refund they refuse my full refund. Not coming back at all.

New location. Small family business. Tasty Hawaiian food. Good seat quality. Good seat quantity.. Okay price. I believe the large doesn't seem worth the price difference; a scoop of rice + a 1 (or 2) bite salad for about $3 more?!?! I guess I'll blame it on inflation. I recommend the food here.

We had take-out orders but Hawaiian/Polynesian theme Indoor dining is also available. Prices are reasonable and the food was good, fresh, and prepared to order. We waited less than 10 minutes to get our food. It’s good to see the menu posted on the front was outside of the restaurant.

Very filling plates! The meat was tender. The sauces were good and aplenty. Portions are fair for the price. New location next to Bomb chicken on Garfield. Parking lot seems to get busy during peak times but there’s a neighborhood and the main streets you can always park along as well. Inside has plenty of seating, esp great for big groups or families. Lots of booster seats and high chairs available. No outdoor seating. It’s a casual local vibe here. Salmon wasn’t over cooked. Beef was flavorful. Soba was refreshing on a hot day! The soba sauce was a little lemon-y which I loved! A medium plate was more than enough for me. I wish they opened later because this would be a great dinner option. Great lunch option if you are nearby!

Nice Teriyaki spot. The chicken was good. They offer 3 different meal sizes. I love that. Great price! They also sell Dole Whip! I recommend looking at menu in my photos And calling in to order. I came for dinner during their soft opening at this new location and it was busy.. I can only imagine it will only get more packed, cuz we all know how much we needed a new teriyaki spot in this side of town. I wish they would maybe increase the rice to meat ratio. My kids and I noticed that it was a very small scoop of rice.

Overrated. $16 for the pep steak and this is what you get? Not the same as before. Smaller portions for higher price. The mac salad is bland and the portions are inconsistent. Not worth the wait or the food. Also don't get the taquitos, you are better off making them yourself. Hope things change for the better.

I’ve been a customer for years since the old location. I come a handful of times per month because the food is delicious. Never had an issue worthy enough to leave a review until now. I brought a coworker here and found it very embarrassing that the seating area smelled strongly of sewage pipes. That odor was not suitable for an area where you should be enjoying your food. The male that takes the phone orders is always very helpful. However, every time a female answers they’re not very customer friendly. I find the older female slightly rude. My bf never wants to call to place the order because of his experiences with her. I phoned in an order and asked if the combo plate can be substituted from chicken to beef the answer was no, no substitutions on the meat got it not a problem. I proceeded to check the menu and saw a mini plate of the type of meat I was trying to get, which could’ve been suggested I believe. When I tried to add that to my order the younger female who was assisting me responded “we don’t have the mini option at the moment only the medium or the large”. I didn’t understand how it’s on the menu, currently only available in a bigger option. It would make sense if I was trying to get a large and they only had enough for a medium or a mini. When I showed up for my order I asked where was the logic behind only having a bigger option available when I was trying to get a smaller option. The younger female responds was “everything is portioned prior so we would rather not separate for the inconvenience”. I found this very absurd that they rather not sell what the customer wants and is going to pay for because they can’t take the time to separate something. Since they moved to this new location I’ve always said the customer service was much better at the old location. The younger females at the previous location were always very helpful, made suggestions, and were very attentive although it was a much smaller space. I stand by that opinion.

Delicious food and very nice owners! We had teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad and rice for lunch today and loved every bite. Looking forward to eating here again in the future - thank you!

One of my go-to lunch spots! I've been a regular at their old location in San Gabriel for years. Everything on the menu is a winner, but my top picks are the Furikake Crusted Ahi and the combo of Chicken Teriyaki with Beef Ribs. The restaurant is clean and great for dining in with people. Parking can be tight with a small shared lot, but street parking is available nearby. If you haven't tried it yet, it's definitely worth a visit!

My long overdue review for this tiny little place. I didn't discover Bachan's until they moved to Monterey Park and I'm glad I did. Perfect spot to grab a quick lunch or a quick sit down. Plenty of seating during a lunch rush. Sometimes the lunch rush is a longer wait but you can always phone in your order prior. Parking lot is shared and it does get quite packed during rush there is also near by street parking if needed. Staff is so sweet and friendly! Pepper Steak- one of my favorites however, it only comes in a large plate. Steak is tender and juicy, you can taste the char. Comes wasabi aioli that cuts through any grease there is. Garlic Ginger Chicken- on days that I want to eat more clean. Chicken isn't dry at all. Teriyaki Beef Short Ribs- always tender and flavorful, perfect balance of sweet and savory. Teriyaki Salmon- also great on those days you want to eat cleaner but feel full and satisfied. Salmon is always cooked just right, never over done.

I keep forgetting about this new location! Decided to call in a dinner order since we haven't had bachan's since they moved. The teriyaki chicken was great size, portion and flavors, almost half rice half chicken, but more rice. The teriyaki beef was good, but it was chopped into really small pieces and much smaller portion compared to the heaping pile of rice! The Chinese chicken salad was nice and refreshing on a hot day, really small portion of chicken and crispy wonton bits, but everything was nice and fresh so presentation was good! We got the large size which wasn't super huge but enough food, as others mentioned majority rice but good quality food and flavors! Happy to support a local restaurant that isn't a chain, the food quality was good and not as oily as some other close by Hawaiian chain restaurants.

I have to say due to the owner will not be returning! She is very unfriendly which creates a bad taste in your mouth, leaving you with no appetite!! Its not that difficult to Smile, be kind & most Of all pleasant!! You are the owner do better ‼

Food is good! Many options for you to choose from. Service was excellent and food came fast! Happy to have found this please and the restaurant is clean and well kept. Dole whip is available here! That made my day!

Food here is delicious! Never had a bad meal here. My favorites are the Furikake crusted Ahi, the Sweet Chili Chicken, and the Loco Moco. Warning to those who are lactose intolerant like me; the Mac salad has sour cream in it!

MY FAVORITE PLACE IN MONTEREY PARK! IT HAS TAKEN ALL MY MONEY! Food:10/10 Every plate I've gotten, is honestly delicious. The salmon is cooked perfectly, the Mac salad is not too creamy or dry, the short ribs are not rubber or too salty / sweet. The plates I've boughten are absolutely perfect. lol. There is no other way to say it! Perfect!!! Customer service: 10/10 The sweet lady in the front is just so nice. I told her it was my first time (2 weeks ago) and I told her I was picky, she said "oh you'll be back" I said "okay, we will see! Don't underestimate how picky I am!) we both giggled, and the joke is seriously on me LOL. Here I am, treating myself over and over. Price: 10/10 I am a light eater, so I absolutely love that they have the "mini" plates! It's perfect for someone like myself who hates wasting food, but can still order the good things just in a smaller portion. All around: 11/10 I will continue to spend my hard earned money here, well, for life. Lol! I look forward to seeing my favorite lady in the front saying "Hello, chrystina with a Y!" Haha. If anyone is looking for a great lunch/dinner spot that fits all stomach sizes, budgets, and tastebuds, look no more!

This place has definitely grown on me. I've been trying different dishes and none have disappointed. There are options for everyone and also various sizes depending on your appetite. Today I opted for the combo plate and the portion was good, the only thing I would have asked for is for the meat not to be so cooked. My friend had the chicken salad and it was a good portion. The lady at the register is always friendly and patient taking orders.

Huge fan of this place because they have three meal sizes: large, medium and mini. I had the medium fish plate and the BF got the medium combo plate. It was filling for the both of us so that we are comfortable and not leaving with food coma. There's ample parking in the lot that they share with other businesses. They have about ten tables inside so plenty of seating available. They do close a bit earlier so be mindful if you are dining in. I came in on a Friday and they close at 6:30pm. Would I come back? You bet!

Bachan takeout is our go to place for Hawaii plate lunch. Quite a menu many things in three different sizes small medium and large to fit in appetite. Servings are more than decent and little details to the order are very notable. Their hours are a little funky, so be sure to check carefully to make sure they're open you'll see the difference.

Ordered from Bachan's a couple of times before but forgot to write a review. I had forgotten to bring lunch for work today but I remembered how close they are to my office! Called in around 11:40am and ordered the furikake crusted ahi plate (which I think is arguably the go-to plate) and was given a 35-40 min wait time. I arrived around 12:15 and was immediately greeted by the front cashier/server who had my order ready as soon as I paid. The ahi is unbelievably tender and I love how crispy the batter is, coupled with the umami from the furikake. My favorite sauce to use is their wasabi aioli, but they also include ponzu, soy, and yellow mustard/horseradish dipping sauce for your dipping pleasure. Also included is a side of mac salad and house salad. tips: order thru the phone, otherwise you would have to wait for the huge queue and lunch rush! Also parking is def hit or miss at the small parking lot in this plaza. I was fortunate the last couple of visits but had to park at the side street today.

Family friendly restaurant. I got the large plate because I had to if I were to get the crusted tuna. I liked it but the portion for the protein is a little smaller than what I paid for. They give you a lot of rice and mac salad. The protein quality was about an 8/10, but it was only about like 10 slices. I would come back though, the staff is very friendly :)

Found another gem today. Good Hawaiian food in the Monterey Park area. Nice mom and pop kinda place. Menu had a lot of options. Price was generally affordable. The medium plate that I got was a great deal for less than 10 bucks. The fish was cooked well and was moist. I also like the option of either rice or soba noodles. The dipping sauce complemented the bodied and fish perfectly. Would surely be back when I'm in the area

I have found a new go-to spot for lunch! This place is a hole in the wall. Located in a small plaza shared with 2 other shops. (One is a hair salon). Parking is limited if you get here around lunch time. Tasty and affordable hawaiian food! I have been here 3x and all are take out. I always call in to preorder and pick up (usually 20 min wait). Menu has different types; small, medium or large. Portions are decent. First time I went, I got the large combo plate (chicken teriyaki & beef ribs). The large combo comes with 3 scoops of rice, 2 scoop of macaroni salad and a small side of tsukemono. Price came out to be under $20. It was enough to feed 2 people. Had to save the other half for lunch the next day. I also tried the pepper steak and it was decent. Best was the combo plate. Most review talk about the seared Ahi. I will probably try that next time. This place is so good that I brought my coworkers here to try and they also loved it!

Closed on Sunday & Monday. Hours of operation: (Tuesday- Saturday) 11:30 am - 6:30pm. We LOVE Bachan's (grandma's) Take-Out! They moved to Monterey Park in a strip mall (near 60 fwy off-ramp two blocks north) from their old location in Montebello. This location has inside seating if you wish to dine-in. Bachan's Take-Out isn't gourmet so I don't judge too harshly; overall it's mighty GOOD for what it is! They offer home style Japanese-Hawaiian fare at very affordable prices! Most importantly the food is delicious! If I had to pick a favorite item here, the Chinese Chicken Salad and Furikake Crusted Ahi plate are my go-tos. My family loves when I get take-out from here! 5 stars and happy dance! Parking limited but available. Payment: Credit and Cash accepted.

Normally pretty good, but what the f*** kind of portion is this. Two scoops of big ass brown rice with a 2" x 1.5" piece of salmon (yes, I measured). Don't even get me started on that "salad" portion. And I paid extra for brown rice, at least give me a decent sized protein. Ordered this via take out otherwise I would have asked for a bigger portion. Go look at the medium teriyaki salmon plate posted by Nelson T. a year ago. This some bullshit.

One of the last authentic and real Japanese family owned businesses in MPK. I've been going to their old location Rosemead borderline Montebello location. It was a super small location that's why the name Bachans take out came from. I'm super happy for their new location in Monterey Park which is has seats for dine in! Food: this is a Japanese Hawaiian BBQ. Can't go wrong with their chicken teriyaki, beef ribs, and fresh ahi tuna and grilled fish. I personally, my favorite is the large combo with chicken and beef ribs, which comes with macaroni salad and small cucumber salad. Mahi mahi plate is fresh and the homemade ponzu or sauce they have is delicious and has a hint of lemon in it. The restaurant: is clean and great for dining and they do have high chairs for people with little ones. ***Bonus they do have a changing station! Parking: it's in a small place shared with a barber shop and Korean chicken restaurant. We went during the weekend and it got full and busy but managed to get one parking if it's full they have street parking. I recommend going on. Weekday because they're very popular with to go orders and should have plenty of parking. Staff: very friendly family owned business as I mentioned earlier. Final thoughts: if you like Hawaiian BBQ this place wouldn't disappoint. Give them a try.

As I ordered via cell, I heard the hustle and bustle in the background. The server was very attentive to taking my order as it was very loud. I confirmed my order and was ready to pick it up in 20 minutes. They have a free parking lot that is shared with another tenant, so parking can be a challenge at times. The establishment is much bigger than their old spot, and they were very busy. I picked up my food and picked up my condiments. My combo plate was superb. The chicken was juicy and flavored with teriyaki. The ribs were outstanding and marinated with perfection. The macaroni salad was very good. The chinese chicken salad was very good as well. It could have used a bit more chicken. Overall, it was a great meal.

This was my first time back to Bachan's since they moved into the old Shaka's spot. Happy to report it's as good as ever. There are plenty of Hawaiian plate lunch type places around but Bachan's does it a notch above. Just better quality, better presentation, and an extra attention to flavor & texture details. With the new space there are a number of tables you can eat at and one day I really need to do that since the food would definitely taste even better eaten right away. Kudos to the wonderful staff and crew who always keep Bachan's a local favorite.

First time ordering Bachan's since they moved - still just as quick & easy (food was ready in about 20-30 minutes from calling in), and was surprised they now have indoor seating since they took over the space for Shakas. We got the usual staples: Fish Plate w/ Salmon & Soba; and their Combo Plate. Still absolutely love their mac salad. Was a little disappointed with how small the fish plate's salmon size was, but still cooked perfectly. Soba noodles were fresh and delicious. The Combo Plate's chicken & ribs are still good. Medium plate is typically 2 scoops of rice & Large plate is typically 3 scoops of rice. We forgot to substitute for more mac salad this time, but will try on our next visit. Parking is a bit difficult in their lot as there are limited spaces and Garfield and Riggin's street parking can fill up quickly.

The Yelp 4.3 star average is probably about right. The lady who took out to go phone order and our money on arrival was super nice. If the dine in service is just as good, then eating here would be a good experience. Their lot has ample parking. The main street in front has parking but there were no spots available on Sat around 4:00-4:30. We got four dishes. The sweet chili chicken was very good. As other reviewers stated, the chicken tastes great without any of the sauce which is quite strong. The sauce was just ok and came on the side without asking in the mini meal. (Other Yelpers recommend to ask for sauce on the side because the meat tastes good plain and the sauces are too salty/strong depending on the type of sauce/dish.) The curry chicken was very disappointing as a mini meal. It may be better as a large or medium sized plate. The to go portion only came in a cup the size of a side sauce and only had one piece of chicken in it. The curry quality/flavor was good. The loco moco was a mixed experience. The beef patty was way too thin, but the flavor was very good. The texture was like a Wendy's burger patty in terms of graininess. The loco moco sauce came on the side in a container the same size as the curry chicken. It might be sufficient for the medium take out order meal. It was the dark rather than light brown gravy type. The egg was cooked well. For all these meals it seemed that the rice rather than the meat was supposed to fill u up. However, that is probably about right for the low prices. The tsukemono (Japanese picked vegetable side/garnish) was just ok in the small take out sauce container it came in. Perhaps it tastes better if eaten for dine in. Finally, we got the three taquitos. It was actually a toss up whether the taquitos or the sweet chili chicken was the best dish we tried. The taquitos we crisp, but not over fried and as u want many Hispanic restaurant to do, but they don't, Bachan's actually put the guac, veggies, cheese, topping on the side so that the taquitos stayed crispy when u were ready to eat them. Since it seems like the fish dishes are actually more popular here and we did not try those on this visit, then it is worth another visit to try those. It was low to average volume ambiance when we went inside to get our food. The dine in seating seemed comfortable. If u haven't tried Bachan's it's worth a try. Ono and other comparable places are possibly a better value (u get more food there for the price), but Bachan's flavor was very good and many places like Ono or L&L stopped serving curry chicken and loco moco. Sorry, no photos this visit. Unlike L&L or comparable, Bachan's does not offer katsu curry or katsu curry logo moco--a favorite dish for many. Check the menu photos other Yelpers already posted, a few are current and clear pics even if u zoom in. Tips: (1) order ahead and plan for 20 mins for order prep. (2) avoid curry chicken as a mini meal. (3) try curry chicken as a large plate. (4) get loco moco as large plate rather than medium unless u r on a diet and really want a small portion. (5) ask for and pay if necessary for an extra loco moco sauce if getting take out and possibly for dine in. (6) taquitos are surprisingly good, give them a shot. (7) try to park on the side street rather than the front street if the lot is full.

Bachan's Take Out periodically would pop up in my search feeds when I would look for bento or Japanese food in the area. I saw that it had recently relocated from Rosemead to Monterey Park, which was even closer to me. I also saw that they served soba, which is a bit harder to find, so my wife and I decided to come here for a light snack. We came here and split the medium Fish Plate with mahi-mahi. The Fish Plate came with the fish itself, macaroni salad, and also soba. As we had eaten some snacks before dinner, this was actually a solid amount. We loved the mahi-mahi. It was very well seasoned with salt, and cooked fresh. The fish was flaky and moist, and tasted amazing as is. The macaroni salad was good, as were the soba noodles. The soba and the shoyu went ok together. But overall out favorite part of the plate was the mahi-mahi. We definitely want to try their other proteins in the future.

Geeze Louis! Not gonna lie, I am glad Shakas is no more! LOL Bachan's has a super duper friendly staff, delicious food for good prices. 10/10 would recommend, only sucky part is no soda fountain. Gotta buy by the can or bottle. Other than that, the interior really gives off a welcoming feel and the hints of a great Hawaiian restaurant.

I can gladly say I will follow wherever Bachan's Takeout will go. Since moving to their new location in Monterey Park, they have more room for dining there and a pretty nice and casual ambiance. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. My all-time favorite is their furikake ahi large plate, but I opted for something different. I tried their teriyaki salmon large plate (includes rice, mac salad, and tsukemomo) and their sweet chili chicken large plate. Both were delicious but the teriyaki salmon was chef's kiss. It was cooked just right and had extra sauce on the side. I'd say Bachan's is truly a gem that I can't find anywhere else. 10/10 would recommend! They even have loco moco!

Great service good people always give you food with a good smile. Everything is clean, wholesome good people great venue.

Bachan = Grandma, in Japanese, according to the owner. Sorry to hear about your grandma's passing. Quality/Quantity - I am not a big eater, but medium was not enough for me; I will go for a large one next time. Simple menu done well. Comes in 3 sizes; mini, medium, & large. Medium Mahi Mahi Fish Plate - Flavors good, but the fish was so small... Medium Salmon Fish Plate - Again, good flavors, but fish was so small, see pictures. Medium Teriyaki Chicken Plate - My daughter's order, this was it. The one I should have ordered. She said the chicken was kind of dry. I thought it was okay, crispy on the outside, but moist on the inside. All the food was made fresh while I waited, I took take out. Atmosphere - Open 5 days a week from 11:30am to 6:30pm. Small local business, cool decor. Great job with all the posted menus; outside, inside, and take out menus at several locations, etc. Great job with your marketing. Small parking lot. Service - Good. Price - $29, good value, but next time I will buy the large fish entrees. Or get the medium chicken. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success. It is great that you named your restaurant in honor of your mom and continue to honor her by using her recipes.

This place has really great food, a great loco Moco plate. If you're looking to eat healthy you have to try the Chinese chicken salad. The dressing taste awesome and really goes well with the salad. You just got to try it!!!

This place is a little bit hidden in my opinion but was a great find. I've been here twice and the food tastes warm and home cooked! Everything's also super flavorful and there's a good variety. The interior is quaint and cozy. The food also comes out pretty fast and the cashier was super nice. It's a great choice, especially when you don't know what to eat!

This is a staple for a quick Hawaiian bento-type lunch bowl. I'm team pepper steak plate but there is a huge fan following for the ahi tuna plate - both are superb and you can't go wrong! You can satisfy any quick meal craving here with your classics like loco mocos, udon noodles, salmon bowls, gravy fries, and even burgers. Its got a ton of options even with some in different plate sizes. Make sure you try the mac salad. They used to have this salad dressing that was fire and creamy but they've changed that so if you can opt out of the salad I would, but otherwise really yummy plate choices and sides. Love this take out place. It's a true local find. If you're in the MPK area this is a solid lunch place. Located in the former "shakas" lot off garfield across from the "delicious food corner" lot. Its on a hill so easily can be missed if not looking, but once you've found it you'll see it has a decent lot but near the neighborhoods so you shouldn't have issues finding parking. Always a friendly staff and you can tell its family owned based on their care for their customers. It feels homey as soon as you walk in. A comfy tiki lounge where you have plenty of seats to sit with family and friends. There's even a bench right when you walk in so you can wait for your takeout comfortably. Come get your casual hawaiian lunch bowl and enjoy it with a huge smile!!

Good Hawaiian/Japanese food. Restaurant is located in a plaza with a small parking lot. Plenty of seats and tables for indoor dining. Service was good and friendly! I ordered the Large Combo (ribs & chicken) Plate and a Pineapple Dole Whip. Ribs were good but the chicken was a little dry. The portion size was a little small, not what I expected a large to be. Pineapple Dole Whip was delicious and topped with a Pocky treat. Overall, decently good Hawaiian/Japanese cuisine!

Very affordable and tasted delicious. I always call ahead to place the orders and they are usually ready for pick up within 20 minutes. Good place for the quick togo dinner option.

Don't be fooled by the name, they have plenty of tables to dine in. But at lunch time on a Tuesday there were lot of take out orders. The menu is large with plates varying from mini, medium and large. The gravy fries were kind of disappointing. Wish the gravy was a bit thicker. The medium combo plate $11 comes with white rice, Mac salad , short ribs and chicken. The short ribs were on the burnt side but meaty. The chicken was good though. Mac salad had no flavor. The sauces were good tho, hot mustard and teriyaki. The ahi plate was good but pretty small portion size for $16 but then again it is fish. This one seems like a popular item with lot of pictures of it. The service was nice, order at the counter and wait for your name to be called for pickup. Self serve operation Small parking lot in front.

Got the Furikake Crusted Ahi Tuna for about $18. Personally learned I'm not a huge fan of Ahi Tuna but in terms of execution I think they did a good job and I knew someone who liked Ahi would like this. As always, they give you enough for leftovers.

A delicious clean bbq spot. I love the fresh, crisp veggies w/ furikake crusted ahi tuna or pepper steak. I want to try the loco moco and curries eventually, but I keep finding myself ordering my usual - sorry! I'll update my review once I do though.

Go here now! The execution of this take out place is spot on! First of all, they are so friendly and such helpful people running this place! Second, the food here is insanely good! I tried them out for the first time and the Furikake Crusted Ahi Tuna is simply one of the best tuna dishes I've had! The flavors are perfectly balanced and it comes with this wasabi aioli sauce which takes it to a whole different level! Third, parking is limited so try your best to find parking in the plaza or street parking as best you can! Overall, 10/10 experience and I highly recommend this place to everyone..great job Bachan Team!

One of my favorite mom and pop places to come to in Monterey Park The menu is so diverse and prices are very reasonable. Ordered the ahi tuna plate that was cooked to perfection, comes with a side of macaroni salad, and rice with furikake. Definitely a must try if you're over in that area!

I never knew Shakas was no more? And in its place is Bachan's. The vibes might be a bit different but the food is still gooood. I guess I can only comment on what I ordered which was the large combo plate. This is chicken and short ribs. Short ribs were solid, I never turn down short ribs if I see it. Although short ribs are usually my fav I might've liked the chicken even more. Slightly charred with some sauce you can dip it in - a beautiful bite. I believe Mac salad here is amazing. It's very light and subtle but delicious and creamy. I might be glad it only comes with one scoop or I'd eat my calories worth of Mac salad pretty quick. And the third item is a bit of pickled veggies which was good but wish they gave more! Would come back if I'm the area. Got more items I'd like to try

Not so hidden now but still a gem! They moved from their old location to the what used to be Shakas. So now they have a dining area. So if you happen to go around lunch they can now accommodate larger groups. They also decorated the dining area with a fun wallpaper. And they have a TV. But I still wish they had longer hours cause I know they would be busy if they stayed open for dinner time. Still highly recommend their short rib plate and the furikake ahi. The new menu offers differportion options in large, med and mini. Now their plates include rice, mac salad and tsukemono (pickled vegetables.) The large short rib plate had three scoops of rice, a scoop of Mac salad, a small container of tsukemono and short ribs. The short ribs are flavorful and tender.

Good spot for a quick lunch bite! The salmon teriyaki was good, and the bowl portion was small but I prefer smaller portions! The service here is really good. Very friendly family owned business Inside is cute. It has a Hawaii theme to it. Parking is good, since there is a small parking lot.

The food is very good. The ambiance is very nice and clean. Excellent & fast service!

great value, fresh food, staff members were nice, solid place similar value (price x quantity) to chain hawaiian places but the quality was so much better

I've always liked this place. The food is good and service is quick. There's amble seating compared to the old lotion and it has a cute Hawaiian vibe inside. It's right by Shin Swim school so I can pick up dinner after my kid's class. It's pretty convenient because they serve everything in styrofoam boxes whether you dine in or take out. I do hope though that they could use paper as an alternative to styrofoam.

Food is top tier. What I really like is that its always super fresh. I never have to worry about the food sitting there. The lady in the front is so cute and sweet which I really love because I'm sick of dealing with everyone's attitude. There's always seats and it's pretty roomy if you want to dine in. Especially for our larger community,no need to worry there's tables and benches :)

It is so delicious here. I come here often for lunch. I recommend anyone to come. You feel the tropical environment.Fresh breeze.

First time visiting since the move to Monterey Park. I called in my order of furukaki crusted ahi plate, a small plate of kalbi ribs and vegetable spring rolls. The food was ready at the time they indicated. I've been to their old location many times in the past. This new spot is nice, has indoor seating and enough parking. The ahi dish was rather dry especially the fish and somewhat disappointing. You no longer get the small salad as before. This is 3 stars. On the other hand the kalbi ribs were very tasty, moist and tender. There was quite a bit of ribs in the small plate. This is 4 stars. Both dishes are the opposite of what I remember from before. The vegetable spring rolls were very good as was the sauce. I gotta comment that the rice on both dishes were dry and somewhat hard, not that good. All in all I'll just stick with 4 stars.

Today we went to try out the Banchan at its new location after getting a cut next door. I ordered the pepper steak and asked for medium rare because many times places will over cook it and it'll be chewy but in this instance it was perfect. I also like the the seasoning on the rice and the Mac salad. My mom got the rib and chicken combo but her short ribs were a bit chard and she wasn't exactly happy but I ate it and it was fine by me. She did enjoy the Mac salad. Service was efficient as it's a fast food place. I didn't wait long for my meal. They probably should try to up sale each item so they can get in more sales. The overall meal was good imo. I'll definitely be back to checkout other dishes. The place was busy as in a lot of to go orders like ours. The ambiance was plain like when it was shakas. It's a place to hang out with friends. Maybe even a casual date place.

I've heard many things about Bachan's when they were at their old location but never got the chance to try it, so I was excited to hear that they opened this location. I ordered a medium sweet chilli chicken plate with brown rice. The chicken was so delicious! They use chicken thighs here so the meat is nice and juicy and the sauce that is on it is really good. They also give some sauce on the side in a little container and I ended up putting the rest of it on my plate because I couldn't get enough of it. One thing to note is that even though it's a sweet chilli sauce, I'd say it's more sweet than spicy, but you still get an ever so slight hint of spice. For the plates, they also include a side of macaroni salad which I also enjoyed. My plate came out to be just under $10 after tax which I think is fair given the quality of the meal. I definitely want to return and try other items on their menu in the future. The employees here were friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Service is limited though as you just put in your order at the register and your name is called out when your order is ready. The restaurant itself gave me Hawaii vibes but is overall pretty casual. It was pretty crowded when I came at 12:30pm on a Friday with most of the tables full with people eating their lunch but it seemed like a lot of people also took their food to go, myself included. The restaurant is located in a small plaza with a parking lot, however, the lot was packed when I came and I ended up having to park on the street, but street parking is easy to find as it's by a residential neighborhood.

Found this cute little spot for lunch. I loved my furikake ahi tuna large rice plate. The macaroni was good as well. My bf got the large short ribs rice plate and he said he prefers Ono Hawaiian bbq short ribs better which I agree. Limited parking right in front so it can get a little busy.

This place is really good. Got the ahi tuna plate and it was delicious! The crispy crust was great and tuna great.
