    Complimentary pickled radish
    Brenda H.

    Came for lunch. They are known for their smoked meats. They do really great smoked chicken, pig snout and other meats. I tried their noodles and other lunch items. I would stick to just purchasing their smoked meats. Service is good. The interior is nice. The smoked meats are nothing like i have had before and have a great unique addicting taste. Highly recommend trying their smoked meats.

    Located in the same outdoor plaza as Starbucks/Chase/TJ Maxx. Free parking Unique Chinese food from the Shandong region of China. You can find many different kinds of meat - chickens, beef shanks, pig ears, hearts, tofu, tendons, pig hocks and feet - all simmer, smoked, and spicy/nonspicy. They even slice the meat for you. Great tasting food, spices balanced just right and a flowery aroma. Good with a bowl of rice or some beer. They also offer an all you can eat bowl of noodles for $39.99 for a whole month! Wow.

    Subtracting 1 star for consistency.. been twice since my first experience. The Love BBQ Pork Rice is different every time. You cannot get people hooked on pickled pineapple and take it away. Also the broth is bland all of a sudden. Again... where's my crack-like broth? These are craving-breaking changes.. Hoping 'unique' in the restaurant's name doesn't pertain to the meals each time you order.

    The restaurant is aptly name "Unique smokehouse." I thought it would be like another Cantonese style bbq place but it isn't! When I first walked in I was pleasantly greeted by the amazing smokiness of their meats and offerings. The staff was kind enough to answer all my questions about the many choices available that day. There were marinated smoked meats, offal, chicken thigh etc. I chose pork belly, chicken thigh over rice (this isn't on their menu but they allowed me to modify a rice dish). I also couldn't resist a piece of beef tendon which they sliced into thin pieces for me, as a kind of appetizer/snack. It still tasted delicious a few days afterwards (makes a great keto snack now that I think of it). The food is delicious! And not like any type of Asian smoked bbq I've ever tasted. Also shoutout to the pickled radish and pineapple that accompanied my rice dish, i enjoyed it so much too! Extra points go to the impeccably clean display counter and restaurant. There were about 6-8 tables available for dining in. Even in a food heaven of San Gabriel valley, I think this is a welcome addition to the food landscape and I look forward to trying their other options. They're located in the plaza with TJ Maxx, Banana boat, Daiso; at the north-west corner of Las Tunas and Rosemead Blvd. Parking lot has plenty of parking. They do take credit cards. Enjoy!

    My husband has been wanting to try Gus's Barbecue and, when finally presented with the opportunity,…read morewe only had one regret after our meal; not visiting sooner. We placed a large takeout order and everything from the service to all of our food was amazing. Some of my favorite items we ordered included the - Cast Iron Cornbread - Ribs and Two Meat Combo - Gus's Famous Burger The cornbread was divine, especially with that honey butter . Definitely a solid appetizer, but complemented the main dishes perfectly. The meats were prepared well; tender and flavorful. The bbq sauces paired well and merely elevated each of the meats. Gus's Famous Burger was one of my favorite burgers I've had recently. Ordered the potato salad as my side and couldn't have been more satisfied. I'd recommend any of these items if you're on the fence. I think it's important to review that we had all of this as a takeout order, so I can only imagine how much more delicious this would be if we dined in and ate everything right away. Gus's Barbecue is definitely going to be a repeat visit for us. There's so much more we want to try off of their menu. Can't wait to come back soon and dine in!

    COLDEST BBQ I've ever experienced. Onion strings and loaded Mac n cheese came out warm at most. Let…read moreit slide,, but when the MEAT came out cold we sent it back to kitchen for a remake. Received St. Louise ribs instead of Baby back ribs like we originally ordered. Slightly warmer. Manager came out to apologize and offered free dessert. Blueberry cobbler came out piping hot. Wish the meal had too. Save this place as a last resort!

I am not usually the biggest fan of bbq(a lot of bbq sauces aren't it for me)... but I LOVE Jake's, the secret is in the sauce!! It's sweet and tangy in the perfect way and ends up with a smoky flavor from when they cook it as well. I looooove the huge beef ribs here, and the chicken is pretty good too. I've also tried the baby back ribs, which my family loves but I'm more of a beef kinda gal. Haven't tried much else on the menu because I just love the beef ribs so much tbh. The fries and salad are good, some other sides kinda feel like an afterthought, but the sides aren't the highlight here. I like the "roadside" nostalgic vibe inside, and the staff are nice. Some of the staff have been there for a long time and know a lot of the customers. Overall, this is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, and when Monrovia comes up in conversation, I always mention Jake's :)

This our first time at Jake's Roadhouse in the city of Monrovia on a Saturday,we throught will be a busy night at the restaurant it wasn't there's were customers enjoy this meal then we ask the waiter for a table he looks around the restaurant and found a table for us. We sat down then we look at the menu to see what to order everybody order on their own but my wife and I order BBQ combo it's come with a half a chicken,Tri Tip,two BBQ pork ribs,two BBQ beef ribs and two sides,we decided pick potato salad and mac n cheese to our meal. The atmosphere at Jake's Roadhouse is relaxing and a feeling see classic interior sign from the past that you can remember those doesn't exist anymore but enjoy walking to back in time. The waiter but out meal our BBQ combo meal to our table it looks scrumptious good. I cut a piece of the bbq chicken it was juicy,and tender and getting that smoke flavor in the chicken. And a bite of the Tri Tip it was tender and cover bbq sauce it good but it little bit too much of the bbq sauce but I enjoy it. The bbq pork ribs were very meaty they so good then bbq beef ribs they were meaty too with good flavor. The potato salad were very good full of flavors in the potato salad and mac n cheese was amazing cheesy good that I really enjoy. Meal come two muffins they very good. Everybody including ourselves enjoy the meal we were very happy and next try different items.

I ordered on my phone and the food came out pretty quick! They also had an appetizer bar which was rly nice. There was a variety of apps such as mapo tofu, seaweed, cripsy chips, and desserts such a fruit and jelly. Idk where they bought their oranges but it was SO SWEET I literally ate all that was left at the bar lol. Skewers Tofu wrapped enoki mushroom 10/10! Super flavorful and delicious. The tofu skin was undercooked like how other skewer places have it. Beef 8/10: typical beef skewers that had good labor too Chicken skin 7/10: not my fave since it was a bit too crispy for me but it may be someone else's cup of tea! Beef tongue 8/10: small amount given but it was the perfect chew. I would def order this again! Fried rice 8.5/10: this rly helped balance all the flavors of the skewers. I was surprised that it wasn't so bland. I would def order this again if I came back for a palate cleanse. Cheese corn 9/10: super creamy, sweet and delicious. Def satisfied my cravings Overall this place may be my new go to skewer place!
