Staff is friendly.

Restaurants by Cuisine
“This place has a buy 2 get 1 free on their specialty rolls. Such a great deal! The sushi is pretty good. I come here often for quick takeout and occasional dine-in. They are friendly. There are a few tables available but it is more of a walk up and order type of thing. You dont have a waiter, but they will bring your food to you. Drinks are bottles, not in cup and if you want water you can fill a cup from the dispenser.”

“Our church, Triedstone MBC, just hosted a luncheon for our leadership team. It was catered by Darrow’s New Orleans Grill. We were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious. And the service was great! They arrived early. And the food was hot. The owner, Norwood, presented the food with a very appetizing description of each entree. Everyone loved it! Additionally, the portions were very generous. And everyone went back for seconds. At Triedstone, we do everything with excellence. And Darrow’s definitely met the challenge. We say, “Thank You” to Norwood and his entire staff. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future. Sincerely Submitted, Pastor Quentin T. Oden and Lady Shelley Oden TRIEDSTONE MBC Carson, CA”
“The perfect escape from a hot Cali day!!!
The two employees who were working behind the counter, were slammed with orders, but never once did either show any frustration or bad attitude. Customer service was top notch.
My husband and I ordered the large shaved ice with 2 fresh fruits, we got the strawberry and mango!!! Super yum!!! 😋”
“Ken’s, is the best ice cream in the world! I think the loving attitude used to scoop it up, makes it extremely special! My grandkids started my journey with Ken’s, years ago. My oldest grandson is now 25 and the baby is 16. Whenever there is ice cream wanted in my house and they are around, it’s a trip to Ken’s! Watching it pass from one generation to another, has been a great thing for our community! One trip to Ken’s and you are hooked for life! I love the ice cream, and the beautiful spirit, of the people scooping it up! Nadine Gills-Ward, a loyal customer”
“While working out in the Carson area I stopped by here for lunch twice. This place has a really good gyros wrap. The owner is a very polite guy. Its a very small simple sit in or takeout place in a shopping plaza. If youre looking for tasty mediterranean takeout, consider this place and support local!”
“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.”

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.”
“first time here today and already been there twice today with my family....protein shake,frappe,smoothie, refresher, sandwiches and most definitely the tacos SMACK!!! FIRE!!!! Dine in and play some games or take your order to go, dont sleep on this place like i did before today..”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hot Tender Wings is a hidden gem! You can really feel that this is a family-run business from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, and family-oriented, and you feel right at home.
What really impressed me was the fusion of sushi and hot tender wings—such a unique combination, and they do both extremely well! The wings were nice, plump, juicy, and tender. There was absolutely nothing dry about them, and they were packed with flavor.
I also tried the California roll, and I was genuinely impressed. The sushi was fresh and very well made, and both the taste and the generous serving size exceeded my expectations.
It’s great to find a family-owned place that puts care into the quality of its food and creates such a welcoming environment. If you’re craving flavorful, juicy wings and well-made sushi, Hot Tender Wings is definitely worth checking out.
Highly recommended! 🌶️🍗🍣🙌”

“Love this place. It’s my go to on the 405 when I drive from LA to Laguna Beach to see the family or to/from San Diego. It’s less than 2mins from the exit and the food is excellent, solid pho options and Chinese cuisine too, and the guys who run it, are lovely. I don’t live in Carson, CA but so glad I stopped and tried it out… It will be my food stop so many times more in the future when I make the drive down and back.”
“We live nearby and to our surprise we have gem in the neighborhood. They have good authentic Mexican foods, clean restroom, nice ambiance and superb service. We ordered menudo and pozole to go after eating huevos rancheros and huevos de chorizo. Foods were very tasty and freshly prepared and cooked.”
“Mongolian beef and chicken chow mein. All the Mongolian beef I've ever tried have been delicious this place a little unique, a little on the sweet side but still its good. Maybe next time ill tell the cook if he could not sweet the beef but its good. Chow mein was great! Haven't tried chicken chow mein that delicious in a long while. The place is laid out like a typical Asian restaurant, floors are clean, tables are cleaned as well very quiet just how i like it lol.”
“We celebrate my brother’s birthday last Wednesday. Waiting time is not that long, our server EJ is very approachable and accommodating, customer service is really good . Great food , service crew are attentive and willing to help. Great job guys✌️🤗”

“The food is good. The hashbrowns can be improved in taste and texture. Pancakes are good. Waffle can be improved . It comes with a bare minimum butter which is not enough and does not even spread to the whole waffle.
The French toast is awesome. I like the food overall. The service depends on. 2 out of 3 times the service was slow and once it was extremely slow . I had to call the person .”

Takeout Restaurants
“I’ve eaten here(well, I’ve never actually eaten inside the place), but, I’ve ordered take out on work days when I didn’t pack a lunch, and I’ve also ordered Bibingka for a get-together or two, and always had great results! Chicken, Beef, or Salmon Bowl? Can’t go wrong either way! Their Bibingka is delish, as well!”
“Found this place completely by accident because the storefront is easy to miss, but sobrang glad ako that I did! The cebuchon tasted authentically Cebu-style, with beautifully crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat that wasn’t overly fatty. Sulit din for the price, especially with the generous portion. Masarap talaga, and I would 100% come back.”
“Parking lot gets full easily. The food was alright. They didn't have pork bbq when we came. The dinakdakan was good as well as the squid dish and the Sisig. The rude cashier lady who obviously doesn’t enjoy her job.. tried to charge us for two chicharron ($12) when I got 1 chicharron ($6) and a balut which costs $4. I caught that and spoke up. She didn't give us the right amount of change either”
“Did not expect to be this nice because google image show a very simple restaurant. I went there yesterday with my family we were looking for Thai restaurant near by my house. I just move here for school so not familiar with area but my family want to eat our culture food. I am on a budget and this place coming with high rating. I like it a lot. Service was good. Crab fried rice for $13.99 is to die for. I usually spend closer to $20 for crab fried rice else where and they even use the real crab. Chicken wing are amazing. Red curry is also taste like home. I will definitely coming back. We sit there for closer to 2 hours and my nephew was entertain. They have games for kid and coin machine too. What a good find!”
“Th workers were really nice! I told them that this was my first time visiting and that I’d been following them for quite sometime. The young lady at the register took her time with me and was very warming. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and plain wings with the Buffalo sauce on the side and it was very tasty! I will be back in the near future!”
“Good food, sometimes a little too salty; especially on the turkey chops, my favorite. Also, whoever answers the phone to take orders, I know, make sure you have your order ready, but he was rushing me off the phone. I had to call back to make sure he got my order correct. Anyway, the food is still good.”
“This restaurant is clearly one of the most attractive place in the region. Whenever I come to this place I am exceedingly satisfied. They manage their very high standard service and the topmost level of meals they serve. You surely will enjoy this this restaurant. Highly recommended.”

“Second time to blenders for the smoothies. This time I tried the Milk Tea coffee 😲 DELICIOUS!!! I'm not a fan of tea but this one was great!! You taste the tea but wasn't strong & the sweetness was spot on!! Will definitely need to come back & try the food.
The other drink is spinach juice. I got that one the last time & again today.”
“If you think a grab-and-go salad can’t blow you away, this one will completely change your mind. Huge shoutout to Maryam, who helped me out—the service was awesome!
This easily clears the bar for an average lunch salad: the base is loaded with crisp mixed greens, purple shredded cabbage, and a fresh hint of arugula, topped with shaved parmesan cheese, juicy fresh tomatoes, tender steamed chicken, and a heavy-hitting lemon-pepper/lemon-lime seasoning that really pops.
It comes with a black pepper dressing so delicious that asking for an extra side is 100% worth it, plus those spiced pita crisps that sit perfectly halfway between a crouton and a tortilla strip. Incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and absolutely bomb. You have to try it!”
“I must have gone on a bad day. Kalbi short rib pictures are everywhere but, memo states they are not on the menu. Then I tried ordering Tokyo Wings as advertised on the counter at the register. Memo states they were out of those too. I asked Memo if I order a plate of Teriyaki Chicken, does he have that? He said Yes. The food was good but, options were off.”
“Ang sarap! JBJ Bakery is such a gem. They have a great variety of baked sweet treats and savory food. My favorites are the Spanish bread, donuts and ukoy. I also really appreciate the personal touch. The owner started recognizing me and even asked for my name, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming. Definitely a spot worth supporting.”
“Coming back to Famous Cafe after all these years feels like stepping right back into childhood. Walking through those doors on Main Street—right next to Anchor Liquor—brought back so many memories of coming here with my family when I was a kid. It’s rare to find a neighborhood spot that preserves its authentic charm, but returning recently proved some things just stay wonderfully the same.
The standout stars on the menu are easily their incredible burgers and loaded plates. Everything coming out of the kitchen is piping hot, packed with flavor, and tastes just as amazing as it did years ago.
Beyond the nostalgic food, what makes this place truly special is the hospitality. The team running the cafe is exceptionally warm, friendly, and welcoming, making you feel instantly at home. It’s a classic local gem with great food, fast service, and unbeatable neighborhood character. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!”
“Guys trust, they rennovated the place. I go here pretty often and buy the S-1 and the Tom Yum soup. I don't know about the old reviews, but the customer service now is phenomenal. I don't usually write reviews, but please don't let the old reviews overwrite how this restaurant does now”
“THIS IS THE BEST SOUL FOOD RESTAURANT I'VE EATEN IN MY MANY TRAVELS. BLESSED AND WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND ATMOSPHERE!!!!”
“I've been coming here since I was a child. I was craving Hot Dog on a stick and came to Carson mall for nostalgia. Alexis was amazing! Her customer service was everything ?.... she worked this stand alone and did it with such grace and expertise! A line piled up and she took care of everyone. Def deserves a raise. Enjoyed my visit!”

“RUN to it. The Senorita bread is every bit worth of hype. It did not look like much from the outside perspective but honestly no perfect words to describe the texture, just yumm!!! we lucked out with fresh ones. It was hot, moist, chewy with a little bit of a sticky sweet glaze on the bottom. They are small and I could easily eat 5 to myself. Also lucked out with other discounted donuts/bitso’s because we came close to closing time… for that reason they did seem a little dry but I really liked the flavor of the maple twist.
Stay tuned into Rundontwalkx3 on tiktok for full video review!”
“I just love the environment there is , you can tell they are students but even as students they are respectful towards customers and among themselves. I just love the way they work you can see they panic during rush hours but they make it work. Excellent customer service.”
“I ordered sinigang beef and sayote beef n shrimp. My most favorite was the sinigang beef. The broth was well balanced with flavors and chunks of beef on bone. No hint of additional oil which made the soup flavorful as you would expect the slightly sour taste of the tamarind yet it was balanced with the right seasonings and veggies. The sayote beef/shrimp was full of flavor but the drawback for me is that it was oily even though the sayote dish is like a sabaw (soup) dish. If you love rice, they pack half the plate with white rice. The total cost for rice plus 2 items came out to $13.19 debit charge. It’s cheaper than other places but I think they have a pay scale depending on what you order. My receipt shows they charged me for a 2 item combo but I had an additional
Charge of .99 cents for the sinigang beef. I guess the rice is considered an item as well. I’m not bothered by the charge since it’s still cheaper than other places I’ve been. So the rest of the food selections look good and well presented. I will come back to try more dishes. Overall my experience was good and the atmosphere is pleasant.”

“We came in hungry on a hot Saturday afternoon and had some delicious, refreshing poke! The prices and quality are amazing here! We got a kalua + poke combo, a side of lumpia, and two Coke Zeros. The owner is from Maui and brought their poke recipes over!
The staff is so kind and warm, you feel like you’re stepping into somebody’s house.”
“I got the animal cracker cake. The first bite I took, I knew this would be a problem. This cake is so darn delicious that I would drive the 45 minutes from Irvine during this economic crisis for a slice. It’s well worth the money, not too sweet, and the icing is so delicious. Shoutout to the most beautiful amazing cashier as well !! ❤️”
