“The BEST RAMEN I’VE HAD IN FOREVER!!!! Seriously, Mensho Ramen changed my perspective on Ramen, didn’t have anything like it before.
Do yourself a favor and try the Garlic KO Ramen, increible!”
“An absolute gem and one of a kind dining experience. Go with the mind to slow down as you would if you were dining in Paris. There’s just so much to take in and enjoy. Event detail is so curated. Everything is exceptional, including the wines! Best Viognier I’ve ever had. Being there was a true escape from the city. I was sad to leave and will be back!”
“Just finished a fabulous dinner at the DTLA location! We got the Block Bowl and a Combo plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork - everything was delicious, the service was really warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was great! We’ve been eyeing this place for awhile and will definitely be back!!”

“Incredible food, incredible service. I've rarely been to a restaurant where every single employee is so attentive, friendly, and helpful. And the fish was so fresh and delicious. I can't wait to eat here again.”
“This review is for the drinks only, I'll update again for food! This place was pretty busy on a Sunday evening although it was a rainy Labor day weekend.
We got the Gangster, which was in thr sweater side. The Inverted Jasper and Emerald city. Both cocktails were decently strong and had a nice flavor combination.
The resturant had some outdoor seating and had a great romantic upscale vibe. The bathrooms had bidets! It's great for date nignt and there's also a piano so would love to check it out when they have someone playing live.”
“As most of old Hollywood fades away silently, this one is going out with a bang! please consider stopping by, and stepping back into the days of Frank, Dino, and the rest of the Rat Pack..... you won't be disappointed.... if you can't stay, take home a fabulous TV dinner, from the menu.... again, it's not to be missed.... but don't wait too long, sadly it won't last forever, and another treasure will only be matchbooks and memories😞”

“Great Home Style breakfast. The biscuits and gravy is really good, and my husband loves the steak burrito. Portions are big and prices are reasonable. A must try for breakfast. Remember though they only accept Cash but there is a ATM across the street at a Chase Bank.”

“As a noodle lover, I found this to be a very satisfying ramen spot. This Kyushu-style tonkotsu ramen chain has locations across Asia, the United States, Europe, and beyond.
You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the type of soup, and your preferred toppings. The gyoza is tasty and perfectly sized for a single bite.
When you want to enjoy both great food and a pleasant atmosphere, this place never disappoints.”
“The foods are amazing … i had the salmon creamy pasta and i liked it so much, the salmon with cherry tomatoes are very refreshing , porcini and mushroom are the new favorites , but the black truffle was the most unforgettable one , once you taste it, it seems you are watching a classic italian movie. The employees are friendly and very accomodating. The atmosphere itself makes you feel like home.”
“I love this place and come constantly. The food and service are fabulous. The staff are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is so beautiful. I really wanted to give five stars, but I just wish the owner would fix the A/C. I feel really bad that the staff have to work in such hot temperatures in the summer, especially the gentleman working the grill. Please fix it for them and I'll be happy to leave another 5-star review :)”
“This place has great customer service even during a packed World Cup game. This is our neighborhood bar and we’ve rarely if ever had a bad experience.
Disregard the previous review that was freaking out about the chairs. It happened right in front of us and the person was just there to look at their phone, not watch the game, not engage with the other patrons, nothing. It came off as entitled and sad. I’m disappointed to see them leave such an uninformed review”
“I never knew there was a Homestate near by, I took my family there after I went to a couple of yelp events where Homestate was featured and loved their tacos, but I have never tried their hibiscus limeade. This was refreshing and amazing. My tijuana pather (brisket taco) fell apart but it was so good. Honestly, I've had several of their tacos and forth worth is my favorite. The potato taco was also decent. These tacos are messy because it is filled. You will leave full after 2 tacos.
The service was also great. They accidently left the bacon in the forth worth and fixed it right away. Even offered 2 cookies because it was busy and had to wait. That's great customer service.
I will be making this location a favorite for tex mex tacos.
Also parking is better after 6, it's only 30 mins prior right in front. This is downtown culver city so there's several lots and I'm not entirely sure about parking in the neighborhood, so just check signs.”
“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Cognoscenti Coffee on our interview date. Modern meets comfort with a hint of retro inside (and outside) Culver City’s Cognoscenti Coffee. Don’t let its small exterior fool you, because once you step inside you will be welcomed by a slew of cute bistro tables, industrial benches, and colorful chairs. But wait, there’s more! Veer to the right and catch a breath of fresh air in their somewhat secluded patio area. Whether you’re meeting with your bestie or having a writer’s meeting, you will easily be able to find a space to fit however many people in your party. Now let’s get to the good stuff! Cognoscenti’s beverage menu is comprised of the classics along with fun seasonal recipes in the mix. My drink of choice, the surprisingly refreshing Turmeric Latte. I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into, but I’m very glad that my day to be adventurous was an enjoyable one with its perfect ratio of milk to spice. Hungry? Check out their selection of huge (and I mean huge) pastries to fill you up for breakfast or to hold you over until your group dinner in one of the Downtown Culver restaurants.”
“The food was fantastic! The service was good too but at times it felt like there was too much time between when our server came by. The drinks took a long time to come out, and when they arrived on of the drinks was spilled by the server. The 4th course came out before the 3rd course. The $70 dinner sampler is a great way to try a variety of food but it's not really a great value; the portions were almost laughable. Corkage is allowed for a $35 per bottle fee.”

“The food and service was so good! We had a great time eating a variety of their appetizers and mains. To name a few, the bacon wrapped shrimp, the yellow tail belly, Salmon Belly, Red Seabream belly, the UDON was the most delicious I have had and the skewers. We sat and discussed Japan with Chef Yoshi and company at the sushi bar. Cannot wait to come back and eat there again. Everything was delicious.”
“What is certainly the best sushi I've ever had was here. I went for omakase today, a small group of 7 (including me) was the entire place. In omakase fashion, the chef made and prepared almost all the food in front of us, all of which was outstanding. It was definitely the best sushi I've ever had. Seeing how it is just a hole in the wall from the outside, you wouldn't expect such stellar quality. I went for my graduation and they gave me a special presentation including changing the sign on the wall for me. Not only was the food, service, and atmosphere stellar, but for such a luxury experience, the price point is amazing. The same thing anywhere else would cost over double what it is here. Overall, this place has been one of if not the best dining experience of my life.”
“I love Simonette. The patio is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a cocktail and breakfast, lunch, or brunch. I’ve been there twice now and I can highly recommend the burger on the menu - the fried egg on top completes it! And the mussels in the light cream sauce are wonderful - especially with fries. A friend of mine ordered the fried Bronzino - the complete fish including the head - and she said it was delicious. There are great cocktails available and several wines and Prosecco available by the glass. The onsite valet parking is a bit steep, but there are many nearby options for parking in downtown Culver City if you don’t mind walking a few blocks.”
“one place uou can't ho wrong. Finally Indian fine cuisine at it's BEST. I highly recommend.”
“I I really enjoyed the location and the overall vibe of the hotel. I also want to give a special shout-out to the breakfast server, Jesus G. He is incredibly kind and warm, and he makes every guest feel right at home. His friendly attitude truly made my stay even more enjoyable.”
“We came here for a team dinner and it was a great choice. The food was top-notch and delicious across the board. We ordered a variety of pastas, pizzas, and starters, and everything tasted really good.
Service was quick and efficient, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable for a group. Highly recommend for Italian food in Culver City.”
“We showed up with three young children and no reservation on a Friday night — no restaurant’s favorite situation! But Brett, the host (or manager?) was incredibly accommodating and kind about it and the rest of the staff was lovely as well. The watermelon ceviche was absolutely to die for, and we had such a wonderful evening from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!”
“I found this place off of Google Reviews and wanted a lighter dinner meal. When I arrived the owners, which I believe are a husband and wife duo, both greeted me and told me the menu was on the wall. Given Im still new to eating Mediterranean food I took a moment to look it over. I asked a question and the guy suggested the chicken gyro sandwich. After paying, I watched him prepare the meal and it smelled divine. Honestly the only complaint I have is I should have eaten it there and asked for no tomatoes. That's on me. Im not a local but if I was, I'd be going back to try other dishes and get that chicken gyro. They also have provided some of the best customer service and genuinely seemed happy to see me.
Check these guys out.”

“Excellent black mole! Everything is freshly made. Wait staff is very helpful and kind. Cute outdoor seating area.”
“This was my first dining experience at Vespertine. Having been at 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants around the world, Vespertine now ranks among my top 3! Exquisitely prepared meals, delicious and inventive taste combinations, remarkable service, and fantastic atmosphere. Each course was plattered brilliantly with exotic and enticing tableware (one course used a shined mussel shell as the spoon!). Excellent wine and juice pairings completed this perfect evening. Very expensive but an evening to remember!”

“Stopped by Carl's Jr. after a long day of doctor’s appointments and ended up having a genuinely positive experience thanks to Daniel, the shift leader. He was incredibly friendly, easygoing, and went above and beyond with his customer service from the moment we walked in. After chatting with us a bit about the day, he managed to bring some much-needed laughter and really lifted the mood. It’s always noticeable when someone treats customers with real kindness instead of just going through the motions. The staff overall made the visit feel welcoming and comfortable, which meant a lot after such a tiring day. Small moments like that can really turn someone’s day around. Big thanks to Daniel and the team for the thoughtful hospitality.”
“It’s very different .. they try to get you to use a machine to order .. I don’t like this ..cold . I prefer interacting with a person.. I don’t like the idea of a machine taking a persons employment.. the play area is very small not much to do .. we won’t be here much .sorry😩”

“I needed a little European fix today, so I decided to visit Des Croissants Paris. First of all I just finished devouring 4 pastries that were in incredibly delicious!!! Top ingredients straight from France! But what made my visit an outstanding experience, was how lovely and gracious the staff was including the owner. We chatted about Spain and had one of those moments of community that are so rare in this city. I highly recommend this slice of French heaven in the middle of Culver City”
“I’ve tried every viral breakfast burrito spot in LA, and nothing has come close to Cofax. Everything tastes so fresh, the flavors are incredible, and it’s seriously one of the most underrated breakfast spots in the city. It deserves way more hype. I highly recommend it!”
“As most of you know trying vegan food is very new to me. Lately I’ve been on a tremendous weight loss drive so I had to be very careful what I eat and often times me very selective. But I have learned to enjoy it and today I got a vegan specialty from a cute little vegan protein bar. Right inside the gym I go to, LA fitness in Kansas City. And the young lady behind the bar was very pleasant and offered several suggestions as I let her know I just finished a very intense workout so I needed protein but I need to be very careful on the caloric intake. I tried the vegan peanut butter dream and let me tell you it certainly looked up to it stain. They were even kind enough to give me extra in a little cup on the side lol so I’ll be sure to enjoy it all day long this is a wonderful mix of almond milk, peanut butter, banana, Oats, and hemp seed and plant protein they are waiting for you to try the many other healthy options that I recommend highly!”
“Fantastic coffee. espresso or drip, they know exactly what they are doing”
“So much more than a bookstore with a coffee shop. It's a perfect cafe to meet up, get a unique book, do a work session, or catch one of the many events - it's a place with people that make you feel part of the community. It's a very unique spot where everyone feels invited and welcome.”
“My review is for the new thin cookies.
I went during the free thin cookie giveaway and bought the Dubai style chocolate cookie. $7 for 2 thin cookies. I got the brownie batter and it was great, falling apart but good. Taste wise for Dubai chocolate was also good. Cookie quality in terms of taste is not the issue. I love chewy cookies but I'm giving it 3 stars for value and also how my cookies stuck together by the time I got home, which was less than 2 miles, so packaging fail. The ladies working at the shop was nice and quick. But $7 for 2 filmsy cookie is a bit expensive in my opinion.”

“Amazing food! It wasn’t cheap but you really get what you pay for. I was starving so I ended up getting two lunch entrees and it was the perfect amount for me”

“Went here to meet a friend for a quick lunch. Staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. They offer a decent amount of very interesting sandwiches , most of which can be made vegetarian as well. I believe there was one vegan sandwich also. I ordered the Giving Tree sandwich , it came on delicious homemade focaccia bread with spicy mayo, herbed turkey, cheese and arugula. What a fantastic sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and was sliced SUPER THIN. The bread was really good quality. Also they sell Zapps chips which I love. The voodoo flavor is the ultimate OG.”
“We had such a great time at this cute little spot. We loved the coffees and smoothies. Cameron did an amazing job putting together an iced cappuccino with frothed milk. Never had that before and really enjoyed that. They also have Chagacino and I love that they have tasty mushroom coffee. We are going back soon!”
“From 9-11:30 most Monday nights, come to this small bar to see the miracle of the Hot Club of Los Angeles, an amazing 5 piece embodiment of Django Reinhart's 1930s jazz spirit. Their second set may start around 10:45 if you'd like a bit more room. No snacks, no food, no nonsense...just as good a band as you'll ever see in a space this small. Tommy will take care of you behind the bar. Guinness can, served in a glass, $10 in June 2026. Enjoy!”
“Thank you so much, Alex! I will definitely be reposting your business and supporting it. As soon as I’m back on my feet, I look forward to returning the kindness and paying the gift forward. I truly appreciate your donation and generosity. Wishing you a successful year filled with blessings, prosperity, and happiness. God bless you! 💖🙏”

“Excellent workin man's italian option in culver city. Fast. Easy to talk to. Wipe your tables down with no fuss. Big portions. Had the fettuccine penned with chicken and mushrooms. Wife had the meat lasagna, fantastic. Ceasars salad big enough to share for 2, maybe 3. Will come again.”
“Had my first date with my bf here about 1.5 years ago. Service & atmosphere were great and it was the only place that was quiet enough and had tables large enough for us to play the board game we wanted to play. That being said, the passionfruit boba was the worst one I’ve ever had lmao”
“Súper rico todo primera vez que lo probamos y súper crujiente el interior súper rico muchísimo queso el sabor 10 de 10 la verdad así me lo imaginé volveré a ir súper rico toda la comida las papitas fritas los aderezos y ami que me encanta lo picoso lo súper recomiendo”

“I just tried Honey Kettle Fried Chicken in LA, and it was GOOD! 🍗🔥 It was juicy, delicious, and had a nice crunch. I ordered it through Uber Eats, so I can only imagine how good it would’ve been fresh and straight out the kitchen!
The mashed potatoes and gravy were seasoned just right, and that soft, buttery, sweet biscuit? 😋🔥 I really enjoyed it!
I had a good time eating Honey Kettle Fried Chicken, and I definitely recommend checking them out if you’re a fried chicken lover!

“One of the best donuts (cruller) I have ever had! Got the Douglas Fir glaze (didn't want the cinnamon/sugar) & it was just ridiculous. Hot & crunchy on the outside, and soft & creamy on the inside - absolutely delectable. I'm drooling now just thinking about it!
I will definitely be back... 😋😋😋”
“I love a lomo saltado and having the option to do a casual and quick walk in, order and eat it in bowl format is a really simple and smart idea. First off, the taste for me is 100. The lime ranch sauce is my favorite. They keep it simple but not the flavor. I discovered this place on instagram but never go to this area so I made a special trip one day a few weeks ago, then the next day our office ordered it for delivery and everyone loved it and then last week I brought my picky teen and she gave it the thumbs up. I have not tried anything else yet but the burritos look good and I should probably try the chicken pero I love beef. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.”
“Came here with a group of friends after someone recommended it, and honestly, it’s one of those places you might overlook at first. From the outside, it’s pretty low-key and not the most eye-catching, but once you walk in, the whole vibe changes. The staff welcomes you right away, and you can’t miss the wall full of awards—it definitely says something. The place itself is casual and not fancy, but the food and service really stand out. Everyone on the team checked in on us without being overbearing, and you can tell they work well together. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everything was full of flavor. Definitely recommend getting a mango lassi to balance out the spice—it came in clutch.”
“If you’re ever in downtown Culver City, you have to get this matcha. It is genuinely unlike anything I’ve ever tried before (never been to Japan to be fair). It is so rich and flavorful and extremely creamy, even with nondairy milk. Also, I love their boba too.”
“This is the best Korean bbq I have ever had! We stumbled upon this place 30 minutes before it closed for the day, and ordered 3 different items on the menu: sweet and spicy chicken, soy and garlic chicken, and beef bulgoki. All three were amazing! I cannot stress how good and flavorful the food was. Highest quality! My only regret is that I didn't have time to go back again. Highly recommend the 3 dishes above and highly recommend having it there instead of bringing it back. Asim(owner) is a very friendly and welcoming guy. All the food is halal! Keep it up!!”
“Had an amazing experience at El Huarique Peruvian Kitchen! The food was fresh, flavorful, and packed with delicious Peruvian flavors. Everything was beautifully prepared and tasted authentic and satisfying. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. Definitely a 5-star dining experience—I’ll happily come back for more!”
“Wowza this place is SO delicious!!! We ordered the salmon and *chefs kiss* it was so yummy. Legit cooked perfectly and the walnuts are a perfect addition. The also got the stuffed mushrooms and let me tell you what — LEGIT SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!! You must get them!!”
“Absolutely in love with this place! 🍽️✨ The food is a beautiful symphony of flavors, and the atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or a special dinner. Every bite was a little piece of happiness. 💛”
