• In a word ... OUTSTANDING!

After eating at Mon Chay, we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to anyone that would like a tasty meal with a sure bet of some healthful energies making their way to you. Not only is it a vegan/vegetarian option for the Monterey area but I feel that no matter what your eating tendencies are, that you will find something to make your visit worthwhile. And, at a reasonable price. One dish was the eggplant and basil. It was by far the best preparation of that combination that I've ever had. They pride themselves in using as much organic as available. There is no MSG and we were impressed that the food was NOT overcooked or prepared on high heat. The veggies still had a crunch and the look and feel of vitality. We asked about the preparation and we were told that the food was prepared by Buddhist nuns so I'm sure it was done with good intentions. Organic brown rice is also usually available (although not when we were there) for folks that don't want to eat the steamed white rice. Unlike the previous reviewer, we had no problems with the language communication. And, a BIG PLUS, the tofu is organic. That means you can eat it without worrying about consuming GMO soy. This is a great new asset to our area so eat there and spread the word. I would love for them to have much success!
