    Monterey Park have a new burger establishment called The Melt it's located where the old Boston Market used to stand there. I heard of the Melt from Goodday L.A. they notice they opening a Melt restaurant in Monterey Park. Now it's open my wife and I decided to try out the food to see it's worth it about the hype. The outside of the restaurant look very nice but the inside is very marksble with great invasion to more modern from other restaurants. We're greet it by the staff say welcome to the melt,we look at the menu display and also have menu you look at. My wife decided to order the Meltburger single with a side salad comes with pickle and spicy pickle some sort. I order the melted sandwich it's called the Three cheese classic it's a classic cheese sandwich then I order tomatoe soup by the side to make the childhood classic. We're surprise there no Coke or Pepsi machine but new competitor to soft drink war the new competitors is called Almeda soda Craft soda made with pure cane sugar. The craft soda were very impressive taste that blow our taste bud away amazing good. Then our buzzer alert us our meal was real to pick up. The food was looks incredible good especially the cheese sandwich and tomato soup. I took a bite of cheese sandwich wow very cheesy with intense flavor in the three cheese that all three in incredible bite with the dip tomato soup it open my eyes so much goodness bring back old memories. The tomato soup it hard to explain it's so good. My wife love her Melt burger she incredible good so much flavor in the burger and she also enjoy the side salad. One the staff of Melt was passing sample of thier freshly baked chocolate chip cookie,we love the cookie it feel like freshly baked at home. Overall we enjoy the food and thank the staff of Melt being friendly and a smile.

    The Original. With lettuce and tomato

    The Melt has been open for a few weeks now in Monterey Park, replacing what used to be Boston Market. The restaurant has been heavily marketing its burgers and sandwiches to SGV locals, so I decided to give it a try. As a brand new establishment, the staff is super nice and welcoming here. I got to try a cookie sample and the cookies here are tasty. The restaurant is also very clean and modern. I ended up ordering the Original with lettuce and tomato. The burger alone was more than enough to fill me for lunch. I find smash patties to be way too popular these days, so I was happy that The Melt did not use a smash patty. The burger, as marketed, is just the slightest bit pink. The patty is super juicy. The overall sandwich is just slightly too greasy for me, but packed with flavor. I'd rather it be a bit too greasy than to be eating a dry burger patty. Overall, amazing burger that is close to me.

    Meltburger $10.79

    While I'd prefer to see the old Boston Market back, it's great to see a new business breathe life into this space. It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood, especially for those of us looking for late-night dining options beyond the usual spots like Raising Cane's or The Hat. I stopped by on a Wednesday night around 10 p.m. to grab a quick bite and tried their #1 fan favorite, the Meltburger ($10.79). Given the current economy, the price point for a 1/3 lb burger made with Angus and Wagyu beef felt very fair. The flavor profile--featuring aged cheddar, Melt sauce, and a mild jalapeño-pickle mix--was solid, though the burger itself was a bit too oily for my personal preference. The service was friendly, though the kitchen seemed a little slow considering the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. I'm sure they'll find their rhythm as they settle in, and I hope they have great success here in Monterey Park. I'll definitely be back to give them another shot!

    CHEDDAR BACON RANCH FRIES
    Brad D.

    I had a craving for cheese fries, which might have been the first time having that craving. I stopped by to get them to go. I ordered "cheese fries" and noticed the register show "CHEDDAR BACON RANCH FRIES". I started to say I just want cheese, but thought I might ask we'll try them. They were okay. I like flavor and seasoning, but this was intense. IMO these are for sharing with other people - it's just too much otherwise. I know, I know - it's in the name, but even fries themself have green flecks of whatever. I'll probably come back and try a burger, but likely won't order the cheddar bacon ranch fries again.

    Our first time trying it. After getting a good taste of what we ordered (a double burger, fries, a patty melt, mini Mac & cheese.. can of Coke and a strawberry lemonade for $48!?), we concluded that the theme was: too much. The patties were HUGE (1/3 lb) and everything just felt greasy. The mac was soupy with large noodles. The best thing out of everything was the strawberry lemonade. Would definitely go back for one of those, but otherwise the food wasn't something I need in my life. The inside was beautiful, but I do miss the Boston Market that was here. The staff are young and nice, but I didn't feel the welcome you get at neighboring Raising Canes. Had to try this place, nonetheless, but nothing really jumped out at me to hook me in. On to the next taste someplace else!

    I was super excited to know that the melt was coming to Monterey park! I love their cheesy sandwiches and tomato soup! But since it was so hot, I opted to skip that and get their other sides. My toddler loved the Mac and cheese here, and that bbq bacon burger was so good. My father got a fajita melt, which was also pretty good, but not quite my jam. But if you love fajitas, that one is definitely calling your name. The bacon ranch fries were also delicious. I loved how cheesy they're were, and made for the perfect side. Can't wait to go back!

    My first time having the chance to try The Melt. It was a great experience. They are still getting things more smooth as they open September 1 for their grand opening. Since it has been so hot they were offering everyone in line waters and tried to get the line if people to try to wait inside to get some ac. Really nice if the staff and manager. I tried the portabella double, w a strawberry lemonade. Both were great, the burger was huge, I think I could just get a single next time. The strawberry lemonade was unique, the strawberries reminded my of the strawberries you eat from the Marie Calendars Strawberry Pie.. I also got a side of the loaded fries, quite a lot of food but I finished it all. They were giving some samples of their cookies, crispy outside w a gooey inside. This brand new location was clean and had plenty of seating. Thanks for making my first Melt experience a great one will def be back. Until next time.

    First time at The Melt, recently opened. Ordering was a breeze, simple menu and lots of choices for burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries and mac-n-cheeses. My wife and I ordered the spicy burger and a double melt burger with garlic parmesan fries and 2 sodas (self serve at the dispenser). Food came out rather promptly and we sat in the dining area to eat. The double burger was super juicy and cooked to medium as requested. The burger normally comes with just meat and cheese so you have to add any other toppings, which I did. I added tomatoes and lettuce and raw onions. My wife's spicy burger came with jalapeño slices (not spicy at all). Both burgers came with a slice of pickle. The garlic parmesan fries were large enough to be shareable but I could have easily finished them myself, and I'm not a large guy who eats a lot. But they were very garlicky and pretty delicious and crispy. I will be back to try the chicken sandwich and the Mac-n-cheese. The service from the staff was friendly and they all had pleasant smiles! One server even walked around the dining area and offered diners some chocolate chip cookie samples. Thank you! Ambiance was rather calm and quiet. Only negative note I have to add is that the ice machine at the soda dispenser wasn't working/had no ice in it, so no ice for our sodas.

    This location of The Melt just opened, and I believe they are still in their soft opening. It's located in Monterey Park. The interior is modernized, and everything looks clean and well-kept. The menu is pretty much burgers or cheese sandwiches, and overall, everything is pretty good. I tried out a few items, and these are my thoughts. MeltBurger - It's a solid burger. It's quite greasy, but it had tons of flavor. If you like heavy cheeseburgers, this is worth a try. (3.5/5) Steak & Cheese Sandwich - I liked this one better. It was slightly lighter, though still pretty heavy. Pretty cheesy, but no cheese pull. Overall, we liked it. (4/5) Cheddar Bacon Ranch Fries - Unique and tasty. Pretty loaded, and the flavors were nice. Solid. (4.5/5) Mini Mac - The mac and cheese was solid. A good mix of cheesy goodness without being overpowering. (4.5/5) Strawberry Lemonade - Quite sweet, but it had huge chunks of strawberry. Tasty. (4.5/5) Strawberry Milkshake - Creamy and not too thick. I personally really enjoyed it. Tasty. (4.5/5) Overall, a delicious spot if you enjoy eating cheesy things. Personally, it's a bit too greasy for me to come here often, but the flavors were good for a once in a while eat. Nice spot to try.

    4.5. New to Monterey Park! I've visited twice and enjoyed both visits. Food was well seasoned, fresh and a. Nice addition to Mpk! Spacious location and nice staff. I've tried a couple items, the regular crispy sandwich, the spicy chicken and the Parmesan garlic fries. All tasty, and I def recommend!

    Service 1/5 Food 4/5 Ambiance 4/5! Ok service was definitely a miss today, we waked in, and there's two registers open and we waited, cool one person in front of us, both registers were being used, so we were the 4th in line while 2 being serviced, one ahead of us. When it got to us only, the girl in front of our register didn't acknowledge, didn't look up, saw us and kept us waiting. Instead of taking us, she just kept looking over the other register like she can't do this on her own. After two kind of us patiently waiting, her other coworker, that looks like a supervisor, tells her very he'll these guests (us), then she proceeds to help us with an apology. Really weird. I then asked how many days are they open, she says day 2, (the supervisor) Ok I'll give them that. But some of their staff definitely needs some service training! No exaggeration, we stood there while the worker was completely free but just wanted to wait for someone to stand next to her to take our order for some reason. Other than that, food was decent and wanted to give this place a try! Will come back and give them another chance! I do like their fountain drinks selections, stuff I've never had before! The three cheese grilled cheese sandwich was pretty good, Chinese flavor was there and wasn't over salted. I liked the mac n cheese in a cup cuz it was like Al dente pasta, a good decent chew and it was not soggy at all. Cheese wasn't over powering. My son killed the kids burger before I even got a bite lol. Their fries are laced with some green powder. Kids still ate it all, all food items were decent! Bummer they also couldn't serve us any ice cream milk shakes, they said they ran out of the powder. I actually came just for their shake.

    Single MELTBURGER - just ok - and CHEDDAR BACON RANCH FRIES - gross

    I feel like I might've eaten at this place when it was in Pasadena, but one way or another I had somehow heard about The Melt opening a branch in Monterey Park and the pics on Yelp looked promising. Sadly, it turned out to be a big let down. Located in a strip mall near the 60 Freeway on Atlantic Blvd in MP, this burger and sandwich joint is clearly the new thing everyone in the area wants to try - an annoying trend nowadays and especially in the SGV where any restaurant that is new will enjoy long lines and buzz just because it's new and not because it's in any way good. The inside of the place is hip looking but basically a jazzed up burger spot. We tried the Steak and Cheese - which is essentially supposed to be a Philly cheesesteak but on buttered toasted bread, a Meltburger with bacon and lettuce added, a spicy chicken sandwich, regular fries, bacon cheddar ranch fries (without the ranch), and a couple of shakes - strawberry and cookies n cream. The shakes were okay though not as good as even the ones at In n Out. The Strawberry one had huge chunks of strawberry in it which make it a pain to drink with a straw. The best item was the spicy chicken sandwich. It had a good flavor and a crisp crust. Got the pickled relish on the side. The Meltburger was less successful. It's a serviceable burger, but nothing I'd go back for. It was messy and fell apart after a couple of bites. The taste was okay but not great. I also ordered it without any of the sauce or pickled relish but of course found huge dollop on the buns as I was in the last third of the burger. The worst item was the Steak and Cheese, which was so greasy it felt like you had just drank a glass of grease after taking one bite. The meat was greasy, the cheese was greasy, the bread was greasy. It was just totally gross. The fries came with some weird green flakes sprinkled all over them, which was not mentioned on the menu - turned out to be parley and coriander. Still, the regular fries were okay. The fries with the cheddar and bacon were not good. Once again greasy and mushy. In their defense, there were a lot of people eating there. I think it's just cause they are new and not necessarily because everyone loves it, but I could be wrong. I was totally unimpressed, cannot recommend trying it, and definitely won't be back. There are much better places to grab a burger like Amboy in West Covina or Burger District LA in DTLA. No reason to eat what feels like mediocre over-priced fast food.

    We've heard a lot of buzz about this place since it's new, so we decided to give it a try today. When we arrived, there weren't many people, and quite a few tables were empty. We were hoping to sit somewhere in the shade, but those tables were already occupied. There was one gentleman sitting by himself sitting on the few of shade area. Later, we realized he works there because, after a while, he walked around greeting a few tables, but we noticed he passed certain ethnicity, which is odd. But the servers are nice & friendly. As for the food, we ordered the BBQ Melt Burger, which was okay, along with fries that were quite salty. The Original Chicken Melt was greasy, and the chicken had a somewhat unusual taste. The Mac & Cheese was also on the salty side. The iced tea came in a small cup, although refills are available. Overall, we felt the food was average, especially considering the price. For a similar price, we can get four burgers with four light well fries, two extra-large iced tea, and two large Neapolitan milkshake at In-N-Out. Maybe we'll give this place another try sometime, but for now, we'll probably stick with In-N-Out.

    Today, my dad and I ordered the Turkey Patty Melt, onion Rings and root beers. They were very juicy…read moreand tasted really good. The people here are really nice. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is really nice.

    I have been to Pharo's twice. The first time, I ordered the bacon cheeseburger special. I added…read morebacon to the burger and upgraded the side to fried mushrooms. The bacon cheeseburger was really good. The patty had great flavor, the bun was soft, the bacon was crispy, and the veggies were fresh and crisp. The fried mushrooms were delicious too. The batter was so crispy. On my second, and most recent, visit, I ordered their teriyaki plate. Although it's not on the menu, I asked for half chicken and half beef. The plate comes with white rice and a simple green salad with Thousand Island dressing. While the teriyaki had good flavor, I didn't really enjoy it. I was expecting the meat to be thinly sliced, but instead it was cut into large cubes. If you like bigger chunks of meat in your teriyaki, you'll probably enjoy theirs. The prices were pretty steep for a short-order restaurant. The teriyaki plate was $15.99 plus tax. I also ordered my boyfriend a bacon cheeseburger combo, which was $16.99 plus tax. The combo comes with a small drink. For the price, I think they should at least offer a medium-sized drink. They do offer refills, though. Customer service was good. Everyone was welcoming and friendly.
