Overview

Su-Beoreg & Monta Factory in Pasadena offers a warm, authentic dive into Armenian cuisine that quickly charms both newcomers and regulars alike. Nestled on E Washington Boulevard, this small yet inviting spot specializes in traditional Armenian dishes with a modern touch, centering around their signature Su Beoreg and Monta offerings.

The heart of the menu lies in the Su Beoreg—scratch-made, thin layers of dough infused with Monterey Jack and Greek Feta cheeses, baked until perfectly crisp outside and irresistibly melty inside. It’s a dish celebrated for its harmonious balance of textures and savory richness. Complementing this is the Sini-Monta, a dish that showcases tender, seasoned meat wrapped in thin dough layers, served piping hot and often enjoyed with their notably flavorful spicy tomato sauce. Many patrons appreciate the thoughtful pairing of this heat with a soothing yogurt sauce, creating a dynamic taste experience that respects tradition but invites personal preference.

For those seeking variety, the salmon sandwich presents a fresh, delicate departure. Featuring a generous piece of marinated wild Alaskan salmon balanced by organic greens and a smooth tahini spread, it appeals to those wanting something lighter yet deeply satisfying, a testament to the kitchen’s versatility beyond the classic Armenian fare.

The dining environment itself reflects the eatery’s ethos. With limited indoor seating, the space is more geared towards takeout or casual outdoor dining, making it a perfect stop for a quick yet comforting meal or gathering with friends. Staff engagement stands out as a highlight—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in enhancing the customer experience, they provide attentive service that makes every visit feel personal. Sharing food, whether a large tray of Su Beoreg or a plate of Monta, encourages communal enjoyment, echoing the inclusive spirit of Armenian hospitality.

In essence, Su-Beoreg & Monta Factory offers more than just meals—it delivers a cultural encounter wrapped in flaky dough and savory fillings. For lovers of traditional flavors mingled with heartfelt service in a cozy setting, it’s a must-try destination in Pasadena’s vibrant dining scene.

Such a nice place to enjoy the Monta and cheese Borege. The place is small but have all the charm and good stuff. We ordered the large Monta with spicy tomato sauce, Cheese Su-Borege. It was so good. We shared the large tray between the three of us and we were so full. The person at the counter was soooooo nice. He brought our order out and offer to take our picture of us and our outing.

Saw this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. We were sooooo impressed with the food. The owner (im so sorry I didnt get your name when we talked) told us about the food, answered our questions and sold us what he thought we wanted, from our talking. We got the spicy sauce and we all were super impressed! Delicious! If rhe heat got too much a little bit of the yogurt sauce (also Delicious) called it off and adjusted the flavor. The Su-Beoreg was fantastic! I dipped it a bit in the sauce too(I dont know if this is the culturally correct thing but it was great!). Don't expect to sit down and eat inside. This is a pretty much pick up/to go place. The inside is very small and no tables. We sat at the 2 outside tables. Worked for 4 of us. But the owner said they sell them frozen and you take them home and bake them for yourself! Super easy! We plan on getting a tray or 2 of these for our next party. Oh and I looked up the origination of this dish and it's very interesting (at least to me). So enjoy and hopefully see you there!

Wow, it was so good there. I wanted to eat a ton of bread for only a few items on the menu. It was so good. Not that much parking either, but it was worth it yummy I think I could’ve ate the whole tray

WOW! I love the simple menu here with dishes that have been perfected and are so so good. We came for dinner and it was pretty slow. Food is made fresh and takes a minute, but that’s to be expected. Highly recommended checking this place out and supporting this amazing small business!!!

Ohhhhhhh so good. I think I met the owner behind the counter, making our lunch. He is making his Armenian grandmother (his tatik) proud. He loves his customers. This is both a catering kitchen and walk-up restaurant with a few tables. Only three items on the restaurant menu. Got one of everything and split it. You can tell it’s all hand made. The dumplings are flavored perfectly, and maybe a bit of mint on top? On the herbaceous and acidic side, not sweet, but also richer and deeper than a meatball. Can get spicy or regular. Some of the dumplings have crunchy edges. Really unique and tasty. Need 100 more. The cheesy layered bread was INCREDIBLE. Like. Fly across the country incredible. Flakey, salty, buttery. Melty. Chewy. Crisp. Perfect everywhere. The salmon sandwich is generous and seasoned well, cooked well, and holds together well. Really really great and I want to go back already.
