Aree Thai

8234 South Norwalk Blvd,
Whittier, CA 90606

Parking is somewhat inconvenienced by the the laundrymat next door. I usually get inexpensive pad thai at this place. It might be the least expensive. Within the Whittier, Montebello area.

President Thai

9340 Whittier Blvd,
Pico Rivera, CA 90060



Don't be put off by surly twaty waitress service, console yourself with the bottles of Singha and the squid salad (very citrusy)

Tropicana

10218 Paramount Blvd.,
Downey, CA 90241

Craving a media noche and don't want to drive all the way to Glendale to Porto's, here is the alternative. All the girls are wearing straw hats, so cute. Are they all Cubana's? Listen to the tempo of their Spanish, if they its fast and quick, definitely Cuban.

Garden Grill

1501 West Beverly Blvd,
Montebello, CA 90640



Its an Armenian Deli, pickup your kabobs and enjoy at home. It competes with the other one across the street a toss up on whose better. The only 2 Armo places in the Montebello. Hey, you don't have to drive to Glendale.

The Downey Pizza Co.

9026 Florence Ave.
Downey, CA 90241

Maybe a little bit better than a Chucky Cheese. They serve milk.

Changnoy - Thai Restaurant

2468 Whittier Blvd Montebello, CA 90640

For those quick take home Pad Thai cravings on a Friday evening when I don't want to cook, Changnoy is the one I turn to.

Zankou Chicken

125 N. Montebello Blvd, Unit E.
Montebello, CA 90640



The Kentucky Fried chicken of Armenians (although its roasted). Good, I don't have to drive all the way to Glendale when I get a hankerin' for garlic butter and roasted chicken. Its the garlic butter I go for. The roasted chicken you can a get anywhere.
