Momo Bistro — Restaurant in Monrovia

Coming from out of town, Taiwanese cuisine is a bit of treat for me. So glad to experience the diversity of cuisines offered in the San Gabriel Valley! The smoked duck was actually smokey and properly seasoned, not dry like so many versions I've had before. The bitter melon is still an acquired taste, no matter how well executed it is... First time having pork kidney. Now, I'm officially beyond thymus glands, tongues, livers, and stomachs. I don't like thinking too hard about having eaten kidney, but I'm told it's one of the more challenging things to cook and so very Taiwanese. I can't say I'd order it again, but I did feel like it was a properly prepared internal organ. Fish, beef, chicken dishes were excellent!! We also got two excellent desserts (sorry for blurry photos of these) -- tang yuan (sesame rice ball) soup and fried...

I ordered lunch from Momo Bistro & Bakery via UberEats and was extremely disappointed--and frankly, concerned--by the quality of the food. Two dishes in particular were absolutely unacceptable:

The sautéed bean curd with pork strips tasted sour, as if it had spoiled.

The celery with squid was even worse. The squid was foul-smelling, mushy, and clearly not fresh. I took a bite and had to immediately spit it out.

I've attached photos showing the uneaten squid to make it clear I'm not exaggerating and immediately dumped into the trash can!

This was part of a lunch special, but does that mean quality and food safety don't matter? It's deeply disappointing to receive food that feels unfit for consumption. I won't be ordering again and cannot...

I came here after seeing good reviews from local bloggers. I only order 2 simple dishes at the restaurant to try as I was not too hungry. 30 minutes later seeing the table that came after me getting served 4 dishes, I asked about my order. I was answered , they order over the phone before you. I told the lady that IS a lie! (as I watch the man ordered for his table in front of me. Literally 6ft away.)

5 minutes later another waitress approaches to "help". At this point I told her I have had enough and they should be ashamed for their business practices.

This review is solely on service as I never got to try the food and never will since I will not...
