They’re welcoming, laid-back, and create an atmosphere that feels more like hanging out with friends than just grabbing a drink. With a great wine list, solid beer and food selection, and a classic old-school vibe, this place is a must-stop. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Incredible quality and love the fact that it’s open later than a lot of spots in the area! Definitely among the best burritos in Pasadena/Altadena- if you’re looking for a good spot this is it! Also very generous and innovative vegetarian options amidst more classic, authentic choices as well!“

“muy delisiosa comida lo atienden Co un gran serbisio recomendado“

“This will make you so happy I recommend you try this food right now🍾🍾“

“Pizzas there are good, not sure how it compares locally but for someone from Boston, this is good. Got the vodka, summer tomato (seasonal), and Sicilian. For 2 people it was a lot of pizza and it's good that they have a half and half option. I'd utilize it to get 2 different pizzas for the size of 1. Prices are pretty good for the quality of ingredients used. Ask for the pouches of cheese and pepper flakes. Just know their pepper flakes are actually spicy so their spicy pepperoni pizza is real spicy.“

“Cannot go wrong. We got the rueben, the Smokey, the coleslaw, the spiced cake, the mint brownie, and the hibiscus tea. Everything was the best I’ve ever had, with large portions and great service. Definitely worth the drive. Come hungry!! Updated from previous review on 2025-11-24“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The best tacos in California!“

“Food & Fun in a bustling yet relaxed atmosphere.“

“Simply phenomenal. It takes incredible food, made by kind folks, who love what they do, to lift a stranger's spirit like my own. I had ordered four tacos: Masala Birria, Tinga Masala Chicken (by recommendation), Pibil Chicken, and the potato (Mexican potato substitution), along with a side of Mom's Beans and seasoned Cauliflower. I was nodding my head blissfully as I ate everything. The smell of spices and fresh cilantro, the taste of meaty beans and succulent poultry, and pickled onions were wildly satisfying. I was blown away and can't wait to return. You're missing out if you haven't eaten here, yet. Until next time, peace.“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“A sweet little spot filled with incredible pastry & bread.
I snagged the Cauli Sammy & I wish in a way I got two!!! The carrot/beet slaw was also a gem.

Everything I got was Togo. Next time I will be sitting & enjoying the cool environment they have created.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“Everything! Good Service, good Food, good menu, good chef! He will work with you! Catering, rent a banquet hall, for any occasion!“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“Seafood like you have never tried. We shared tasted from each section of the menu . Soft Shell Crab Taco, Yellowtail/Dragonfruit/Ceviche, a Scallop Tostada. Absolutely Loved it ALL. Then ended with the Branzino rice/beans and 3 delightful sauces shared for 4. It was perfect. Also, tried a unique Old Fashioned cocktail made with a delicate smoky Mezcal like I have never tasted.“

“recently visited this shaurma spot and honestly, the interior is amazing — super cozy, stylish, and has a whole vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. It definitely feels like more than just a quick food stop.

I tried the chicken shawarma. While the flavor was okay, I wasn’t too happy with the chicken — it wasn’t grilled properly, and the wrap felt a bit unbalanced with too much lavash and not enough ingredients inside.

That being said, I still recommend checking this place out. The experience itself is worth it, and with such a nice atmosphere, I really hope this business grows and stands strong. It’s definitely a spot I want to see succeed, and maybe with a few tweaks to the food, it can become a favorite!“

“Ice cream 626 is an immaculate place full of wonders, creative and unique flavors that make your taste buds twirl through the night. The staff are especially nice and welcome you with open hearts. The vibe is so chill and unique it feels so homey. This place is way better in all ways of ice cream than any other shop. Ice cream enthusiasts come here and enjoy this beautiful shop. I deserve a free Ice cream. Thank you for being so close to my area.❤️“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“Lost my keys somewhere along Sunset and checked in with Ceci’s to see if anyone turned them in. They didn’t but ownership was so kind and empathetic that they handed over a fresh and delicious piece of tomato focaccia for my troubles. That’s what’s called unreasonable hospitality. Thank you guys, that was incredibly sweet of you and it brightened my day.“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“I loved my lunch. Chilled Beer with Blue Cheese Burger.“

“So yummy it was best food I have had I like it a lot and they are open late which is rlly good for me since I am a late night owl and I stay up later especially when there’s delicious Thai Food from Sticky Rice which is always a huge plus for me when it is late and I am hungry which is not now but could be later.“

“This is a great place to enjoy continental food. I was very surprised at how authentic the Indian food I ordered tasted. I ordered the butter chicken which came with naan, rice and chapatis. Butter chicken. It tasted like professional style and was very nice looking. It even surpassed some of the Indian restaurants I have tried before.“

“This Guisados on Sunset is the perfect spot to hit a hungry stomach! Free parking. EZ to find. Safe neighborhood. Now for the food… AMAZING! All tacos are delicious. Try the sampler. Gives you 6 mini tacos with home made tortillas. For about $11. ? even my kids who are picky loved this place! Service was awesome. We were still craving another sampler (we all shared some) and the server who brought our food said that there was no need to wait in line again… she took our additional order from our table, and brought the credit card reader out to us!!! Thank you! Mil Gracias !!! We will be back.

Kid-friendliness: Kids loved the food. And when they knew it was for the kids, they held off on some of the spicy salsas (on te side)“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“

“This was hands down, the best surf and turf I have had in a very long time. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff was amazing. Try them out!“

“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“Favorite Sichuan restaurant in California! Definitely the most authentic Sichuan food I’ve ever had in the states (yes I’m from Sichuan so take my word for it lol)
We live in the Bay Area, but whenever we’re visiting LA, we go to this place because of the great taste.
We ordered rabbit, beef and beef. The portions were HUGE. Every dish was flavorful, and it’s amazing that they picked seasonal vegetables to complement the flavor of the meat in each dish. And the spiciness is really close to what I had back at home in Sichuan. The chengdu fried rice(this should be the name if I remember it correctly) is also very good, not oily at all.
The restaurant owner is also very nice and she told us the rabbit meat is fresh from the butcher shop everyday, which sets this restaurant apart from others. (Well, this is the only restaurants in the states that I have ever been to that serves rabbit on the menu, so I really appreciate that)
100% recommend this place.“

“What a gem...hands down the best elotes l've ever had!! The corn man is super nice and super fast at pumping out Elote via cob or bowl. There was probably 20+ people ahead of me with multiple orders but it only took 25 minutes to get through since he's so efficient. It can be so amazingly rich and heavy for some folks but this is what you're coming for! A guilty pleasure ruminating in cheese, mayo and liquid butter and corn. I prefer the bowl over the cob since it's much easier to eat. I also recommend getting two at once so u don't have to wait in line again and it's so cheap. 100% recommend!“

“Visit for lunch or Dinner. If you're lucky, you might have live music on a friday night. On to the food - Gourmet Carribean is a must try! the oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, chick peas and the Friday special, Jerk Salmon. Everything I've tried is delicious. There's a small baker on the other side and I love their Ube cookies! I Highly recommend visiting Blossom Market. Located on the San Gabriel Mission Properties.“

“Went here on a Sunday afternoon (LSOB). Not too busy and parking on the street isn't hard to find.

Im from out of town, but I've been coming here for years whenever I'm in town. Always a great selection of breweries from HPB, Green Cheek, Santa Adarius, Occidental, etc. Can and bottle selections are solid. The workers there are very nice. Dim-lit, dive bar interior vibe with a small outdoor patio with darts, ping pong and board games.

Overall, one of the top taprooms to visit in the greater L.A. area for craft beer. They offer 16, 10 ounce and flights, so you'll get to try a little of everything. Definitely worth a stop.“

“We stopped by Hai Cha for boba tea after visiting the museum. The owner greeted us right away as we walked through the door. He's super friendly and he was very welcoming. We got Hai Cha special milk tea with boba. Waffle was boba. Yogurt smoothie and mango smoothie. The size of the smoothies were huge. We enjoyed our food.“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Jonathan was an exceptional - guided us through the menu.“

“Got the 16 ounce pescado/fish ceviche and an agua de pepino. Came with 4 tostadas and hot sauce. Was a really good snack. Tasted fresh and you got a lot for the price. The drink was really good as well!

I came at night and it was well lit with plenty of seats. Would be a good spot for people watching during the day time. Already planning on coming back again!“

“Loved it! Excellent luleh kebab! Will definitely go back again!“

“best place ever. been coming since I was 7 yrs old“

“Going local-origin for my next batch of pumpernickel bagels. Choco-latte and Nicaraguan chocolate down here are legit crazy awesome!“

“Great food. Nice staffs. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food is delicious, and food presentation is attractive and elegant. The service is friendly and professional. The ambience is simple and elegant.

It’s hard to find good gluten free. And this is good food. Highly recommended.“

“I recently visited Curb Grill in Montrose, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! This family-owned gem is a must-visit for anyone craving high-quality food in a welcoming environment. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla with sausage and bacon, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients, perfectly cooked eggs, and a generous portion that left me satisfied. Every bite was a testament to the care and quality they put into their dishes.

The restaurant itself was impeccably clean, from the dining area to the counter, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The bright, well-maintained space made the whole experience even more enjoyable. What truly set Curb Grill apart, though, was the owner, Albert, whose friendliness made us feel like part of the family from the moment we walked in. His warm hospitality and genuine enthusiasm for connecting with customers elevated the visit to something special.

I wholeheartedly recommend Curb Grill to all Montrose locals looking for a fantastic meal and a great vibe. This place has earned a spot as a regular go-to for me and my family—we’ll definitely be back time and time again“

“Love what they done with the place the place looks chic and aesthetics. I love the art and the signs up and the menu was easy to read. The person there was very nice and helped me and was very kind. Food I got chicken wings the seeet and spicy and it was so so good“

“Try to stop by every time we stay in Glendale. Good food and very reasonable prices. Service is beyond excellent.“

“A friend recommended this place, and it didn’t disappoint. The carne asada tacos were full of flavor and came with freshly made salsa. The place is small but clean, and the staff checks in often without hovering. Prices are fair for the quality you get. It feels like a family-run spot that really cares about the food.“
