Monta Factory

"Pasadena’s Monta Factory opened a second more service-oriented outlet in Glendale in 2019. The menu is mostly the same (and that’s a good thing), with little beef dumplings served with four sauces, salmon burgers, and cheesy su-beoregs." - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang

"The Middle Eastern dumpling specialist is donating 20% weekly profits from both their Glendale and Pasadena locations to the Armenia Fund. They will also be holding a fundraiser on October 18th at their Glendale location, with 100% of the proceeds also going to the Armenia Fund. Monta Factory is available for takeout and delivery, call (818) 396-4445 (Glendale) or (626) 398-1525 (Pasadena) to order." - kat hong

"Located on the northern fringe of Glendale, Monta Factory is a family-run shop that specializes in one thing: mante (also spelled manti). These dumplings can be found on many Armenian menus around town, but nowhere are they the star of the show like Monta Factory. You can either order the “Hungry Monta,” which gets you a full tray of these ground beef dumplings topped with garlic yogurt sauce, or you can go all-in on the “Hangry Montra.” It’s the same exact dish, but double the size. Either way, everything’s under $23." - brant cox, sylvio martins

"Though the location is at Monta Factory produces dumplings filled with ground beef and topped with garlic yogurt sauce, the location serves as a hamburger stand in the third season of Barry." - Mona Holmes
