“I recently dined at Reunion Kitchen + Drink in Anaheim, CA, and it was a fantastic experience. We enjoyed cocktails and calamari to start, followed by perfectly cooked medium rare steak and a fresh salad. The miso noodles, fried chicken with gravy, and ahi tuna nachos were all delicious as well. The romantic lighting inside creates a cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to hang out with friends and grab a drink. The service was excellent, and the free parking is a bonus. I will definitely be coming back again!“

“Food: Kimchi Butter Katsu Chicken had the right balance between spice, butter, moist breaded chicken; Kimchi Butter Shrimp was also excellent; Spam Brulee was a great new take on the typical Spam Musubi with their mayo-based sauce on top Service: made-to-order service Design: interiors had the touch of island vibes with the rope lashing & surfboard sign, but is part of the larger Rodeo 39 Public Market Overall: if you want great Hawaiian inspired grindz with a little extra kick, then check out this spot and get ready to roll your eyes back with satisfaction!!!“

“They are very kind to the public.“

“I'm glad that the original owners are back. The food is great again!“

“Parking: Very easy even on a Saturday/ Sunday brunch day. I would say to come early to check in on their Yelp waitlist in case their place get's especially busy. If you order all these dishes with a group of 4 people, this will fill you up. Banana Latte: Tasted more of the latte than the banana. Gamberry Rose Pasta: Don't play with the spicy level. It's not death spicy but it's a bit like Shin Ramen spicy. Would not recommend this dish for my non tolerant spicy people. Pasta is wonderful though, sauce was like uni cream, there were bits of masago (tiny fish eggs) to add a nice texture, 2-3 regular shrimp and a jumbo shrimp in the dish. Beet Tataki Salad: Would highly recommend for anyone! The beef was cooked so well, medium rare on the inside and the outside sliced edges were really crispy! Salad was refreshingly and dressed well with their vinaigrette, tomato, and shredded cheese. Gambas: Not my favorite dish. The sliced bread was presented in the skillet so bottom portion of the bread was overly greasy. There was too much olive oil at the bottom of the pan than necessary. Toasted whole garlic and olives, I think the only redeemable feature of the dish would be the shrimp.“

“I Love This Place Their Food And Drinks Are Delicious Their Service Is Great.“

“Best Bar in Whittier!! Amazing bartenders!!“

“A Carnivore’s Vegan Experience Yesterday, my husband and I drove my mother in law home to L.A. from visiting with us for the past couple months. Sad to see her go because she is such a big help. Surprisingly, we had no kids in tow which is a rare occasion. We decided to drive around to explore a bit of James’ old stomping grounds. We explored his old neighborhood in La Puente, where he would skateboard, wound through the canyon switchbacks on the way to Whittier, looking at his friends’ houses and commenting how much the area has changed. Whenever we are traveling anywhere, we try to find a non-chain, local place to eat to support the local community but also, who wants to go somewhere new and walk into a chain and be transported to someplace you can go to within a few minutes from home. It defeats the whole purpose of exploring someplace new, at least new to me. We walked down Greenleaf Street in Downtown Whittier looking for a place to eat. We could not get past that it looked like a deserted city street with a few faces of restaurant workers visible from the windows looking out to either see if the crowds would ever come or wondering who in their right mind would be walking the streets mid-day in the 100+ degree heat. I personally think it was the latter, but we were just happy to be out of the 115+ humidity of home, only being 100 was quite nice! In our thirty minute, indecisive wandering, there were many places that peaked our interest for a nice dinner, but not quite for a late lunch before the two hour drive home. As we were standing in the middle of the street (closed to traffics for outdoor dining) we saw a few people go in and out of a place called the Modern Shaman, at least that’s the door that I saw open. (James will tell you it was the Steakhouse next door.) growing weary of my indecisiveness and looking up menus online to see what the food was like, said that we could try “that one” since it must be good because though the streets are empty, people are coming in and out. Now, I knew it was a vegan restaurant and was surprised that My carnivore husband would be willing to try the “fake food”. I jumped at the opportunity and to his surprise, I headed into the vegan restaurant, and he followed. As we were seated, James confessed that he thought we were going into the steakhouse because that was the door that he noticed someone enter. I am not a vegan, nor am I a vegetarian. I am just a person who does not prefer to eat much meat. I am just as happy eating a black bean burger as I am a beef burger and have been known to make dinner sans meat on several occasions so a vegan restaurant is right up my alley. However, looking at my husband from across the table, I could see the distress in his eyes…”no meat?!? How could there be Italian sausage on the menu if there is no meat? It just does not make sense! Do Italians know that they have fake Italian sausage on their menu?” To which I could only respond “thank you, my dear, for entertaining me on this one.” We looked over the menu for at least ten minutes trying to decide what to order. I could not make up my mind because everything looked so good and intriguing. On the other hand, James was still trying to figure out why there was Italian sausage on the menu of there was no meat, and of course, to determine what would be the least horrible thing to order and determined if he didn’t like it, he could just give it to me to eat and we could pick him up a burger someplace else. I finally settled on the oyster mushroom po’boy sandwich with a little help from the server. And when I say “a little help”, it was just that, not too helpful because of the three items I could not decide between she said “oh, that one is good. Oh that one is too, and that one.” We settled on the one she said was the most filling. James settled on the chimichurri ravioli with oyster mushrooms added on, or rather I had them add the mushrooms added on because I knew there was a very likely chance that I would be eating his plate too and I love mushrooms. As we waited for our f“

“I had a great experience at Kaju Soft Tofu. The Beef Bulgogi and Galbi Tofu Soup were both delicious, with rich flavors and tender meat. The restaurant was clean and inviting, and the servers were very friendly. Plus, the unlimited sides were a nice bonus. Highly recommended!“

“I would rate this restaurant 10/10 , from the great service , yummy hot coffee , BOMB carne su jugo !! This place is it ! I've gone to a few other local restaurants but this place by far is my new favorite! My husband got the Birria with consome and 2 huevos , delicious! Thank you guys we will be returning:)“

“Love this place. If you want to get the Boba bear combo special, you have to eat inside so get there right when they open. All the food is delicious. Everything is beautifully served. Service is friendly. Best recommendation is to get there right when they open. Beary good spot!“

“Great family-run shop filled with traditional bento. By this time, we've tried at least half of the menu and everything is great.Egg salad or katsu sandos are great if you want something simple.But sets of roast beef bowls or chicken nanban are also great. Gyudon or sets with multiple courses if you were really hungry.There's also tempura and takoyaki. So many different options.Call ahead and order if you are short on time. Parking in the lot is fairly easy. Service is great.“

“Wow, Bonjuk and Bibimbap is awesome! My only regret is not knowing about this place sooner. I can see why it’s one of the most popular chains from Korea. The restaurant was clean and modern looking inside, and the food was phenomenal. It was a healthy, lighter option compared to some other spots in the area. Our server was also super nice.We ordered the mushroom + bulgogi bibimbap and seafood pancake. Both were absolutely delicious, and I look forward to coming back again soon.The chicken ginseng soup was also very healing and tasty! There was some dates, rice and green beans in it which was a nice touch.“

“I usually do not review for takeout, especially for the service provided. However, I was so surprised by one of their staff that I have to thank her.I ordered dumplings and bulgogi to-go last Friday, and after I picked up the order and headed back to my car, this lady ran out (for quite a distance), just to hand me the sauce for the dumplings. I am very grateful for that.“

“Best hot chicken in La Puente!! The food here is amazing I have yet to try something I don't like! (I've tried the sandwiches, chicken fries, and Mac and cheese) The staff is so clean, hardworking, and super friendly, they make you feel like family! Overall great place, a must try in La Puente!“

“I like the big portion of this restaurant. I went 2 people so we ordered 2 dishes. We tried: 1. Pork Back Bone Stew: very huge portion. The meat is soft and you can feel the broth has been well cooked that gives you the sweet and rich taste. 2. Stir Fried Squid (because I love squid!): very good. This dish can be eaten with rice (if you want to be full) or will paired good with a taste of Soju. The portions are big so don't over ordering or you will have some food to go. The food is a little plaint and there's salt to add (if you are a salty food fan) to assure you don't leave the broth behind. You will feel healthy as you leave the place. Will be great to have for hangover or when you are sick. I went on a weekend night for dinner and the restaurant was a little quiet. I think this place is most suitable for lunch. I would definitely come back to try their other stews and pork belly!“

I hope to see her when I come back“

“We stopped in from Ohio and ate, and it was the best chicken parm we have ever had. We got the chicken parmesian poutine and the Philly cheese steak sandwich and split it, and there was more than enough for two people. I would definately return here.“

“I never thought that I could find the real authentic Korean food like this I’ve been looking for the raw marinated crab for my whole life and then here it is!! The food were 10/10 ! I would highly recommend the galbitang soup beside the crab “

“Stopped by here, as this used to be my favorite Vietnamese spot, until they sold the business. This Fat Belly Grill appears to be family owned. Friendly staff were very helpful. The menu is a little all over the place, some Mexican food, some Mexican-American food, some Mediterranean food, and some American food.“

“Great foods and well done!“

“I recently visited Boiling Point and was pleasantly surprised by my experience. Unlike other similar establishments, this Boiling Point location stood out to me in several ways. Firstly, I found the taste of the food to be superior, which made my dining experience even more enjoyable.Additionally, I appreciated that the waiting time was relatively short compared to what I've experienced at other places. This made the entire dining process more convenient and efficient.Most notably, I was satisfied to discover that I could order unlimited rice and receive double the amount of meat. This added value to my meal and left me feeling very satisfied with my dining experience.Overall, I highly recommend Boiling Point for its delicious food, short waiting times, and generous serving options. I will definitely be returning for more!“
