“This is a long-overdue review! I've been coming here for the past two years, and without a doubt, this is my favorite Thai restaurant ever. The coziness of it makes me feel like I'm dining at my auntie's house. The customer service is exceptional, and the chefs are consistently amazing. If you're searching for a new restaurant to try, please add this to your list. It's our favorite place.“
“I came to this spot pre-covid and was thinking about it ever since. I wanted to go back, but I just never made it. So I made it a point to go for my birthday this year. It did not disappoint. The pulled pork with mac and cheese is the stuff that dreams are made of. The the peanut butter brownie fudge sundae, AMAZING, my daughter who doesn't even like peanut butter continually doug right in. I will continue to dream of this place, but this time I will be sure to return sooner.Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the food, and the staff was willing to make all accommodations necessary to meet their likings.“
“Always satisfied with this restaurant. I've been going to Chris and pants for 60 years!!Parking: Easy parkingKid-friendliness: Kids menu with great prices and portionsWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking with wheelchair accessibility right up to the table“
“A hidden gem. California style BBQ. I met the owner and grill master Keenan. Who took such pride in his smoke room , which he was kind enough to show me. 3 dynamic smokers were adjacent to the kitchen. He opened up to show me he was doing beef ribs. Which he sent a sampler to our table . Delicious. Now the food , that’s the best part . We had a lunch 3 meat combo. We both had a hot link, brisket and baby back ribs smothered in the tangy sauce. Our sides were collard greens , macaroni and cheese and potato salad. Mac and cheese was baked with a nice crust. Hot and cheesy. A 10 plus.Potato salad can definitely stand up any family picnic. Spicy greens were good. Cornbread was excellent.I figured out this was a soul food restaurant hidden within a bbq place. I will be back“

“This was a most delightful late lunch here today in great part due to the exceptionally hospitable and knowledgeable staff. The restaurant's interior is traditionally regal and cozy however we opted to eat in their spacious outside eating area on this beautiful afternoon. No regality was lost by being outside for we were in the care of Gilberto, our wonderful principle waiter. He understood our every need and pampered us like one seldom encounters in Long Beach. We began with an Old Sicilian cocktail. It's probably fortunate the photo didn't come out else I'd be shamelessly punning the caption, but most importantly it was delicious with quite a punch. The crab cake appetizer, also delicious, was followed by the best hamburger that I've ever had and that includes any produced from my kitchen (I consider that to be the highest praise). Bf gave me a taste and there is no question that I will be ordering this next time. For a special treat, Gilberto presented us with a beautiful crème brûlée. When requiring a flawless dining experience, this is perfection, They are Masters of their craft.“
“I think overall it went over my expectations. Definitely getting your money's worth of experience. Most of the side dishes you get your own which is great if there are specific types of side dishes you get a lot with kbbq, and options are really great. Each of the meat orders comes smaller compared to what you usually get in all you can eat kbbq, which I see as a good thing as you can control more portions and less food waste. The food quality is what you'd expect, it's not gonna blow your mind but still really good for the price you are paying. Only complaint is that I wish there was more seating provided for wait, we went on Sunday 5pm for two people and waited in car for an hour.“
“Title: Hidden Gem in Seal Beach!I recently discovered this hidden gem in Seal Beach after my favorite restaurant closed down. What a pleasant surprise it was!Review:My wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant while enjoying a leisurely stroll in the downtown area, and we were blown away by the exceptional service and food quality. The Angus Beef Brisket was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. The Brussels sprouts and the biscuit were excellent additions to our meal, adding a delightful touch to our dining experience.Atmosphere:The weather was delightful, adding to the charm of our dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, and we felt right at home from the moment we walked in.Dining Experience:We were fortunate to arrive just before the rush as there were no empty tables when we visited last Saturday. It's a good thing we beat the crowd - timing truly is everything!Conclusion:I have no hesitation in awarding this restaurant a well-deserved 5-star rating. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to Seal Beach. If you're looking for a new favorite spot with top-notch food and service, look no further!“
“This was my first time eating here, and I wasn't sure what to order. They let me sample the chicken and the beef birria. It was very good. The meat is tender and they have great prices. When your in town, stop here, you will be happy that you did.Vegetarian options: Beans, rice and they serve ramen. You can customize and leave the meat out if you want. Taco, burrito, and quesadilla You can put avocado beans and rice and cheese.“
“Ordered the Katsu Butter Chicken and Spam Brûlée Musubi through UberEATS for delivery around 2 P.M on a Weekday. Food was delivered quickly and hot. They packaged it neatly and provided some napkins and utensils as well! Great service although I can’t speak for the atmosphere.Would definitely recommend the musubi for anyone who likes sweet and salty combinations! The katsu is okay but was a little too oily for me.“
“The food was Soo good. The place felt like we were eating at someone's home but the food was top restaurant quality. We'll definitely be back. We got the bacon appetizer and my husband got the tri tip and eggs and I got the sticky ribs. Definitely recommend.“
“This is one of my favorite local businesses. The bbq is juicy and flavorful. The sides are simple and just enough. Nothing extra! I LOVE THE POTATO SALAD! The owner is amazing and such a kind man; doing a lot of good for the community. I encourage everyone to get a taste cause it’s ON and CRACKING!! 10/10“
“BBQ upscale fast food. Cool concept, decor and menu options. Good amount of meat for the price....especially on the plates. Included sides were small portions. Order off to the register on the side once walking in, which was confusing for a first timer. Personally, the meat was much too salty to be a regular.“
“This restaurant is a gem! Super friendly and helpful service and great choices. We enjoyed catching up with our family while sharing a large room with others surrounded by tasteful decorations. If there were 6 stars, I would have given them!“
“We came for lunch to avoid the dinner rush. It was perfect timing. We're also vegetarian so we tried several of their vegan/vegetarian options. They have an extensive menu and tons of options. Everything was delicious. The service was amazing. Our waiter was helpful and friendly. Our favorite were the scallion pancakes and the ramen. It was a bit spicy for us, even though we asked for mild, but it was so delicious. Portions are huge. We took half home, but we're excited to have leftovers.“
“It was good value for money and had a pub-like atmosphere to enjoy a steak. I think it used to be the Hometown Buffet at Cerritos Town Center, but it was very spacious and the service was great! The portions are large, so men can choose between a steak and two side dishes, so women with smaller portions can order a smaller portion!I recommend this restaurant where you can eat for 4 people for around $100. However, the standard waiting time is one to two hours, and even between 5:00 and 5:30, I waited about 40 minutes to be seated.“
“Food is great! My first experience here was 4th of july 2023. I knew they would be busy, so i called hours ahead for my pick up order and when i got there it wasn't ready because my ticket was buried under other orders and was missed. So i had to wait additional time for my food, per why i ordered ahead. Smdh. And my portions was small!!Second time around, i wanted to try chicken but they were out. The guy that took my order seemed like he didnt want to be there, no smile, no greeting, just no customer service skills what so ever. Food came out fast, bigger portions this time. Just dont know why both times bbq sauce was in my greens, i dont like that.“
“If you like a lot pepper on your moist brisket, then this place is for you. I spent over $70 on pulled pork and moist brisket. Super rich and fatty. Seasoned to the max. Almost too much. Nothing special to be honest. I felt like I had similar seasoned brisket before. The pickled onions and pickles are a nice break from the moist brisket. I wish the brisket had more smoke flavor. Would I be back? No, but the family who runs it were super nice and friendly“
“This place is so good.Food: the food selection is chef's kiss. The glass meat cuts are generous and the quality of the meats are very good. They have a good selection of side dishes but one thing I always look for is the steam egg...and they have it!Price: The price is unbeatable for the quality cuts that we get to eat. We paid $27.99/person for the A&B menu.Service: We arrived a little after they opened so there was no waiting time and the waiters were super attentive.Dessert: Their ice cream is so good. It's taste just like Chick-fil-A's ice cream.Con: the only cone is that their tongs and scissors could be replaced with newer ones. The scissor was very dull and couldn't cut the meat nicely. The tongs were stretched opened or not align so it was hard to get a good clamp on the meat.Overall, we still love it!“
“(Disclaimer, i do not know the difference between "authentic" korean food and "fast food" korean food) i've been going back and forth about this review whether or not this was a 4 or 5 star review. I went ahead with 5 stars because ultimately the flavor prevailed. i want you to imagine Panda Express or Chipotle but KBBQ. My suggestion is to actually have customers walk the line vs order at a kiosk and then wait for your number. Ultimately I feel like the wait will be similar and it's visually appealing to the customer knowing the last piece is just to pay and you'll enjoy your food. Prices were reasonable however you get more veggies vs. meat. The favor is ultimately top tier. I prefer my bulgogi to be with a slight char but this was authentic (i think) The banchan (not pictured) was fresh and so good! The spicy cucumber and fish cakes are my favorite! I can eat those with white rice and be done! This place needs all the flowers because it is unique in its own way and very good. Peeked in the back of house and saw what looked like quality ingredients. (based on videos i've seen on social media about korean cooking lol)“
“Food: 5/5 highly recommend, their combo is very good. Great portion and price. They also have lunch menu, which comes with a side of your choosing. Service: 5/5 very welcoming. Ambiance: 5/5 they have a couple tables for dine in. But, most of the time people would order takeout or call in for a pick up.“
“King Chang left an indelible mark with its exceptional service and culinary prowess. The dedication to customer satisfaction was evident from the moment we stepped in, even amidst the Saturday night rush. The servers went above and beyond, exhibiting attentiveness and kindness that elevated the entire dining experience. It's rare to find such a perfect balance of efficiency and warmth.The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the large intestines, surpassing the small ones in both flavor and texture. The meticulous preparation showcased a culinary expertise that set King Chang apart. Each bite was a journey through rich and savory notes, leaving an undeniable impression. The smaller combo, designed for 2 to 3 people, proved to be ample, catering to varying appetites.The variety of Korean side dishes provided a delightful symphony of flavors, and the soybean paste stood out as a star among stars. Its depth of flavor added a distinctive touch to the meal. As a connoisseur of Korean cuisine, I can confidently say that King Chang serves the best intestines in town, a true gastronomic delight. I eagerly anticipate my return to savor more culinary treasures from their menu and to bask in the warmth of their impeccable service. King Chang is undoubtedly a gem in the realm of Korean dining, deserving of accolades for its outstanding offerings and commitment to culinary excellence.“
“I loved this place! The service was so good! The man at the counter was super kind and he was really helpful. The food was good but was soggy and I thought it could be better. I loved how the roomed looked and it was pretty chill. You should definitely come here!“
“Good small family owned spot. The staff is super friendly and helpful if you have questions. Theresa helped us and was knowledgeable about the menu and made good suggestions. I see her help others make selections as well. Not only was she helpful but had a mailed for everyone that came through the door. The BBQ smells delicious but we went for a cold sandwich. Next time will definitely try the BBQ. We got The Guido which is a fully loaded Italian sandwich with Ham, Mortadella and Soppressata . It's everything you look for in an Italian sandwich, the meat is quality and the ham has a nice smokiness. The bread is super fresh and soft and fluffy. The acidity from the dressing cut the fatty delicious nature of the cured meats perfectly. They have a good selection of soda's that are made with real can sugar which is nice. They have a small patio out front that is dog friendly. Definitely will be back for both the food and the great service.“
“I have NO problems with this place. The only issue is I eat so much until I'm literally like a stuffed sausage. ??? my favorite KBBQ place to go to. You won't be disappointed✌???????Parking: The place gets packed, get there when it opens. It fills fast. ✌???“
“There are several platters available. Beef and Pork. The plate for two includes so much food and is plenty for two as indicated. Refills of banchan are available. Their kimchi is a MUST. They offer cilantro which I don't see in most KBBQ spots and it surprisingly pairs well with the rest of the food. The staff grills your food and their menu indicates for patrons not to tip.“
“I came here yesterday with husband and 2 little ones. No wait time since I reserved table online and they were not full.Staffs deserve 5 stars, very friendly and attentive. They replace the grill and clean up table before we ask them. They also provide little pastic cups for kids to prevent spilling. It would be nice to have plastic forks for kids because the metal forks are too long.Its kidda smokey inside the restaurant, maybe you need stronger venting system.We ordered Kobe set (not AYCE), the meats are very tender but they did not come with veggies, just a few slides of onion/carrot/pumkin. I suggest you provide lettuce in the Set/combo instead of the rice cake/shredded cabbage. The mini side dishes are not impressive, kimchi is very sour, I suggest you to improve quality of your side dishes. The set comes with stir fried noodle or fried rice. Noodles do not taste good. Meat is chewy but fatty, not very good quality. I feel i have korean bbq more than japanese bbq. Dipping sauces are plain, the sour one is too sour and the remaining sauce is too salty, they do not blend well with meats. I will not come back since im not impressed with the food quality.You have the best staffs.“
“Absolutely mind blowing food! 100% I have traveled a lot and tried food different places but this one was the best experience so far. We ordered ribs and burger. Both were made to perfection. Highly recommend.The owner himself and his employees were very hospitable and welcoming. Thank you for such a pleasant experience.“
“So yummy! The inside is small- it's like 6 tables or so inside but it's cute inside! Our server was Kyle according to the receipt and he was great. 10/10 service. We tried the wonton soup, pad see ew, and drunken noodles with beef. All 3 had great flavor. The soft drinks are cans (which I was fine with, but just a heads up).“
“Nice little location in the food court, I ordered the bulgogi rice bowl, and it was really good! A little pricey but they do give plenty of food, you won't leave hungry! Will come again when I'm in the area and try something else.“
“I've never tried Lao food, especially their BBQ, but this is my third time driving from Arcadia to savor it. Every meat piece boasts a distinct blend of flavors, making it one of the finest Asian BBQ experiences. The sauce, in particular, captivates me with its rich taste. Without a doubt, it's the top restaurant at Rodeo 39!“
“I love Steve’s BBQ, the food is extremely great. The service is excellent, they try to accommodate you to your liking. The owners are the best. I go there twice a week and enjoy the great food they have.I have read the reviews and find those who are complaining about the food and service are just that. This place is very clean, welcoming, great food, quick service. You couldn’t ask for a better BBQ to eat at.“
“I've been to a lot of fancy steakhouses, and I can tell the difference between good quality meat, good flavoring, and good execution! Madera's rib eye prime steak was just that. It was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly! One of the best steaks I have ever had! Also tried their sausage with hatched chilies and it was just wonderful. We literally licked the plate clean! Yesterday, I got a carne asada wet burrito for lunch. OMG!!! Literally the BEST wet burrito I have ever had, EVER!!! The meat was so thick and tender and they do not skimp out on the meat. It's loaded with meat and a pretty big portion as well. I highly recommend any one who wants delicious food and a great environment for live music, to come to Maderas steakhouse! You won't be disappointed!“
“Chicken tenders: my husband and I agreed that they were the best chicken tenders we ever had ! So juicy and tender!!Corn cheese: a little too sweet and watery. But super cheesy!JR. wings: not battered and so savory!Food was 10/10 service was on point, what more can you ask for.“
“The beef chow fun is literally, no exaggeration, the best plate of noodles I've ever had in my life. Not only the kind of flavorful that goes through your whole body, but the beef was tender as butter. The hot and sour soup was also exemplary. I'm kind of a man of habit and it takes a lot to add a restaurant to my regular favorites rotation; Fu Plus jumped to the top of the list and it's likely to stay there. Holy cow.“
“I usually don't try full on meals at breweries but I'm so glad that I did. Pit & Bull is the best BBQ I've had in the area! I'm a Mac n Cheese girly so of course I ordered the Pit Mac with Beef Brisket on top. The meat was cooked perfectly and was smothered with a smoky BBQ sauce. My favorite part was the Mac n cheese tho! They use actual cheese and top it off with bread crumbs so there's a nice crunchy layer on top. I ordered a side of fries and was surprised by how good they actually are. They're crispy and taste like a less greasy version of McDonald's fries! The brewery gets extremely packed during the weekends but the workers are always very efficient and prompt. They get your food out within 15 minutes. The ambiance itself is really nice since it's inside the brewery. There's lots of seating, games, and even an outdoor patio with live music. Definitely will be back!“
“Eunice! ??? All I can say is wow! Absolutely the sweetest person ever. I’m so happy to come back after a while that I haven’t been to this place. I’ve been here since the beginning when they used to close at 2pm. I love how cozy this place is & she made my sister and I feel so welcomed. The best customer service, the best atmosphere, & most importantly how warm she was even coming here around 10:30PM. This is a gem of a place to go to so whenever I have the chance to visit, we always try to. I’m so absolutely happy with Eunice & will love to see her here whenever I dine here. Ultra marbled steak & my bean sprout salad is my absolute fave! Thanks again for the hospitality! Appreciate you ?? ?? ???“
“Everything was seasoned well .. The brisket, ribs and turkey were all tender, moist, and delicious.....all mouth watering...couldn't eat it all...meat was still amazing the next day...not dry or chewy. The Mac and cheese was creamy the green not vinegary or sweet they taste more smokey...I'd definitely get again. *Side note my mom felt her's greens tasted a little salty. I did not have the same feeling I thought it was perfect . the bbq beans she stated taste like pork n beans with BBQ sauce ...I didn't try. We were both happy with the meal. The service was quick., and friendly... The truck is located right on the corner... Highly recommend.. I'm from the valley and I'd go again“
“Bought a tray of meat for Christmas Eve dinner. Super good and will definitely be buying again for the next family gathering. A lot of the reviews say they are pricey but for a small business I think it was fairly priced. Would rather give our money supporting small businesses than catering Lucille’s or other big companies.“
“came here with my lolo for lunch, and we both left pleasantly surprised! the interior is nice and spacious, and it's comfortable to dine in. we ended up ordering it for takeout, but the cashier was very friendly and entertained us during our wait. the chicken inasal was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were amazing in comparison to other filipino takeout spots in the area. i'd recommend this spot to anyone seeking all around good filipino food. i'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“
“We went today for their Grand Opening. The restaurant is clean. The Owner (Carmela), the one who got our order(Bianca), and all the staff are friendly. We got Baked bangus, Beef ribs, Tuna Belly, and Liempo. All tastes delicious. Bibingkinitan is very good, its still moist even when you reheat it on the microwave. Don't forget to get WOWTAHO! Tastes exactly like philippines. The Best Taho in SOCAL.“
“The food was really good and our waiter was very kind and attentive. It was a really busy night when we arrived but we were able to be seated quickly. Our order came out quickly but there was a delay in my drink. Once it came out the waiter let me know it was on the house since I had to wait a while to receive it. It was still delicious.“
“I enjoy Indian cuisine very much because of the species and fresh ingredients they use daily preparing so much flavors in the food. I enjoy the spinach and cheese it's amazing flavors like the spices and spinach and especially the cheese it add texture and flavor to dish. The other dish I really enjoy is chicken Tikka Masala one of my favorite so much flavor I enjoy it. The naan bread is very good I took a piece of the naan bread scoop in the chicken tikka Masala getting the fully flavor of naan bread and chicken Takla masala.“
“Not AYCE but lots of side dishes including cheese corn, poached eggs, another egg dish, bean paste soup or kimchi stew. Very good and attentive service and excellent staff. The unmarinated beef was the best. The chadol was a little tough. But the rice paper, pickled radish, dipping sauce, and salad made the meal delicious.“
“The atmosphere is great and would be great for a family gathering or with important guests. The staff are also friendly. However, there are not many types of side dishes. And when I asked for a refill, it was resolved a little late. However, this is a restaurant I would like to visit again.“
“I have been *quite* delinquent at keeping up with converting review drafts to actual reviews - but I feel especially bad seeing this one un-posted still, given it was just in the local news last week, they're putting their popup on temporary-but-indefinite pause because it wasn't getting enough business... hopefully they do reopen, ideally in a proper space, because their bbq is *great*. I hadn't ever been to their now-closed official popup location, but after having heard how great they were for the previous year, I finally had a chance to try them over the summer, at the Beachwood anniversary event. I loved that I was able to buy meat in quarter-pound increments, so I could try two of my favorite bbq meats, brisket and pulled pork. The pulled pork was great; the brisket was probably the best brisket I've had from a bbq place in Long Beach (it's still not Franklin, but *nothing* is Franklin). I also tried their mac & cheese - they only had one size, for $8, but that size was *large*. The mac & cheese was also great. Seriously friendly people, too, so I really hope they succeed in their quest for a brick-and-mortar spot. (And that the quality is as good once they do, both so I don't have to give them a worse review later, and because I would like to have that brisket again! And because they're great people and they deserve to succeed, of course.)“
“Haiku: Thai Addict Cuisine Bold, spicy flavors I come for the lunch specials Affordable meals. --- I love Thai food and lunch specials (Mon-Fri, 11a-3p), so I naturally gravitated to this restaurant. Lunch special items start at $12.95 (depending on what protein you choose) and come with salad and egg roll. I ordered the Pumpkin Curry and it was a generous portion. I liked how soft and creamy the pumpkin was and the crunch from the bell peppers. I felt the curry was on the sweet side, maybe a bit too sweet. I also ordered the Pad Thai and that was too sweet as well. Just note the dishes are made Medium Spicy, but you can adjust the spice level. I ordered a mild and it was the perfect amount of heat. Service was okay. They were nice, but not as attentive. It was getting busy in the restaurant and we had to flag someone down to take our order, grab to-go boxes, and get our bill. The restaurant is located in a strip mall. The inside has a nice, modern aesthetic and is a good place for large groups. I would come back again though and try their other lunch special menu items. Hopefully their other dishes aren't too sweet.“
“This is some if the best Thai food I've EVER HAD. I was blown away. My brother is a professional chef and makes a killer red curry but I'd have to say this one topped it. The tofu was out of this world. The Tom Kah soup was super yummy too. But the star of the show was definitely the sticky mango rice. I had to stop myself from gobbling everything down even after I was full! I don't live in the area but I'm going to definitely drive out of my way to come back! We went on Easter so it was empty so idk what the crowd is normally like. Don't be put off by the lack of good pictures of the food on the menu and windows.“
“Best ribs, amazing corn bread. Sometimes they are understaff and or just busy. Came on a Thursday last week took a short bit to be seated but as served almost right away. Love the staff.The issue I have here is they are open from mon-Fri they are only open from 4pm-9pm which is very short and on weekends from 12pm-9pm and or 10pm. Now it's hard for some people to eat here because of the timing. Some people have to work on weekends which is difficult to come eat here since for some it's far and by the time you get there it could be busy and or be to late in the day to even want to go out and eat.I know it's a cost/dinner thing but I would like to see the place open more since I'm one of the few who works on weekends and has one day off.Secondly is parking. The lot is very small maybe 18 spots but probably less I didn't count. Other than that a great place to eat!Parking: Secondly is parking. The lot is very small maybe 18 spots but probably less I didn't count.“
“First time coming here, we ordered the kimchi fried rice, beef galbi plate, and grilled shrimp plate - it was all soo delicious! Probably the best kimchi fried rice I've ever had, and it had an overeasy egg! I got it to go but it was quick and made fresh. Will definitely be back!“
