It is the best Chinese take out all over St.John's. They have the best curry noddles and curry chicken, myself and my fiance have it faithfully once a week and love it all of the other combos are great also

Best food ever. Huge portions. Good prices. 3 large meals delivered with pop and fortune cookies and more extras came to 56. Amazing deal for all the stuff you’ll get. Food tastes very authentic too. And is made perfect and hot everytime. Not once has Monroe’s disappointed me. I’ve been eating strictly from Monroe’s when I choose takeout, for the past 16 years. It’s not greasy either. As someone who takes my health pretty seriously, I try and avoid takeout and grease. But Monroe’s truly tastes authentic, and fresh. With many healthy ingredients to chose from if you wish. 10/10.

I love love this place. No frills, family run place that’s been around all my life for sure. Fun fact my aunt and uncle used to be their next door neighbours for like 20 years. My Mom passed four months ago and I’m trying to chase after all her traditions and memories. So many of them were eating Monroe’s at my Aunt and Uncles.

I used to order delivery years ago just about every weekend. I remember one time I called to place an order, the lady (owner maybe?) just said "ok" and hung up the phone lol She knew my voice and order. I would get the cheeseburger (add bacon) platter every damn time. Two burgers, fries, tartar sauce and a Pepsi. It would come to like 22. Good times. I'm gonna order next weekend for old times sake. I didn't rate atmosphere because I've never stepped foot in there. PS: She wasn't rude for hanging up the phone. I found it hilarious because I knew exactly what had happened. To me, that was some damn good customer service. Shoutout to the Monroe's lady who used to take my order over the phone. You're a real one
