“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”

A combination of all of these in your mouth at once is the sweet spot that causes your eyes to close and a string of m's to verbalize.”

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.

“I Love Blenders, but I usually go in for the smoothies! I’ve had one of their Ramen Soup and lumpia’s which both were very very good! All their smoothies are delicious but my all time favorite is the Cranberry, yogurt smoothie! It has that sweet and bitter taste that your taste buds will love!! The girls working there will take your order and are nice but you hardly ever get a smile! If you like smoothies you have to try Blenders!!!”

Lucky Star Cafe 17209 S Central Ave, Carson Mexican • $

“This our favorite breakfast spot near CSUDH. Usually we'll order ahead by phone. The morning menu is a great mix of traditional American and Mexican dishes. Sometimes we'll get Pancakes and Eggs, sometimes Huevos Rancheros but most times it's breakfast burritos that really hit the spot and can carry us till dinner time.
The cafe has been remodeled quite a bit over the last few years and their atmosphere and decor is another wonderful addition to the personality of this great little Mexican grill.”

“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”

“Honestly, lately I’ve become quite a bit of a burger snob. This is the best cheeseburger I’ve had in quite some time and I constantly come back here because I want that taste again.

If you haven’t had it and you live close by or you’re just passing through on the 91 and you need to pick up a burger and you don’t want to wait at In-N-Out. Call this place up. Tell them you want a cheeseburger with everything on it and you’re gonna be so happy.”

Lani and Cesar were working the counter and they provided great service with a smile and checked in with my wife and I often about taking our trays away when we were done. Cesar also came over to provide condiments when we didn’t have some at our table. Today the atmosphere was pretty quiet and the music wasn’t loud. The manager also came over to see how our order was coming along.”

“Chowking (131 W Carson St, Carson, CA 90745) never disappoints! The Beef Wonton Noodles are flavorful and comforting, perfect for satisfying any craving. The Sago’t Gulaman and Naicha Milk Tea are refreshing and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Their Halo-Halo is a must-try — creamy, colorful, and filled with all the classic Filipino ingredients. And the Taho is just like home — warm, soft, and sweetly nostalgic.

Overall, great food, friendly service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere. Definitely a 5-star experience for anyone craving authentic Filipino-Chinese comfort food!”
