Monora La Palma Asian Street Food Bar — Restaurant in La Palma

Delicious authentic Thai food with $10-12 lunch specials!!!

I haven't written a review in awhile, but I think they deserve one and I would love to see them in business for a long time with more customers.

I found this amazing place while driving around for lunch. I was happy to find such a great lunch deal here! Lunch comes with a vegetable egg roll and a wonton with a delicious sweet sauce. I wasn't sure if the prices from other people's pictures was still accurate, but it is 2025 and only $10-12 for lunch specials!

I tried the panang curry which comes with rice and an amazing red curry sauce and all meat. I got beef and it was the best panang curry I have ever had! The flavors were a bit different than what I have tried at other places, but tasted authentic, not so sweet like other places, so good, and something I would eat again. I am not a big fan of overly sweet food, so this hit the spot and was the best panang curry.

I also tried their spicy basil chicken which came as ground up chicken. It kind of reminds me of larb. It was delicious, full of flavor, and something I have been wanting more of. If I had a side of raw vegetables it would be even more perfect.

Their thai iced coffee comes in a big plastic container and was so good! It wasn't overly sweet which makes it easier to drink.

I will definitely be coming back now often. Affordable, delicious, authentic, and nice and cute restaurant.

I've dined in Monora a few times already, and each time was a relaxed and delicious experience. It's located in a small plaza surrounded by businesses and near Kaiser Medical Offices. The dining area is spacious with comfy tables and seats, and a few booths.

The lunch specials are what initially caught my eye, as they offer great value with generous portions. I enjoyed the Spicy Basil Chicken with rice (Pad Krapow), and even took some leftovers. Curries are also a favorite Thai dish. And Monora prepares this well, too. Three levels of spiciness are available—mild, medium and spicy.

I've also ordered a small Thai Iced Tea, and it was surprisingly larger than I thought. I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu, including the many entrées and appetizers.

The staff has been kind and attentive. Ordering options include dine-in, take-out, call-in, and website. I highly recommend this business if you're in the area. It's...

Wowwy, wowwy! This place is good.

I took my girlfriend out on a quiet Monday night and this was solid Thai food— We had the green curry, the pad Thai with drunken noodles, and mango sticky rice. All of it was very good. I got it the curry with medium heat and it was definitely hot enough!

Seems like a family restaurant with mom as the waitress. To be honest, she was a little sassy when we walked in on an empty Monday night. And seemed a little annoyed when we ordered the pad Thai with drunken noodles/adding potatoes it the green curry.

However, she was also a very attentive and excellent waitress. Our waters were always filled, she asked us if we needed anything several times but without hovering, and an older gentleman (perhaps the husband?) wished us well as we left.

It was a really...
