“I recently had the pleasure of attending the pro-series cooking course led by Chef Manifa and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked into the kitchen, Chef Manifa’s passion for food and dedication to teaching was evident. Her classes were not only highly informative but also immensely enjoyable.

Chef Manifa masterfully blended professionalism with warmth, creating an environment that was both educational and inviting. Her deep knowledge of culinary techniques, combined with her clear and patient teaching style, ensured that everyone in the class (from beginners to seasoned cooks) could follow along and improve their skills.

What truly set this cooking course apart was Chef Manifa’s ability to make complex techniques accessible to everyone. She broke down each step with precision, offering invaluable tips and tricks that only a seasoned expert could provide. Whether it was perfecting a delicate sauce or mastering the art of knife skills, Chef Manifa made each lesson engaging and achievable.

Moreover, Chef Manifa's enthusiasm was infectious. Her storytelling and anecdotes from her culinary journey, and genuine interest in each participant's progress made the class feel personal and enriching. The hands-on approach meant we could immediately apply what we learned, and Chef Manifa was always on hand to offer guidance and encouragement.

The highlight of each class was, of course, the food (lol)!! Under Chef Manifa’s expert instruction, week after week, we created dishes that were not only delicious but beautifully presented. The emphasis on using fresh, high-quality ingredients and understanding the science behind cooking techniques truly elevated the experience.

Chef Manifa delivered an outstanding cooking course that exceeded all my expectations. Her expertise, charisma, and passion for the culinary arts made for an unforgettable experience. I left the course not only with new skills and recipes but with a renewed inspiration for cooking.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Manifa's classes to anyone looking to enhance their culinary repertoire while having an incredible time!!!

Thank you so much, Chef Manifa you are the best!!!“

“We had a wonderful Sunday brunch with an out-of-town friend. We were looking for a place that was somewhat on the way between picking her up at LAX and dropping her off at her hotel in DTLA Little Tokyo and could accommodate food restrictions (gluten-free and vegetarian) and Akasha was all that and more! Great space with delicious food - including great GF onion rings and a fantastic GF banana walnut loaf cake that was so good that we took one home with us too! The menu was varied, interesting, and flavorful. Looking forward to coming back for dinner!“

“My wife, son and I had Easter Brunch at West & Co., and we had an excellent time. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the ambiance was peaceful and elegant. The brunch included an egg hunt and a visit from the Easter Bunny (which my son loved). This was our first time visiting West & Co., and we are looking forward to going back soon.“

“Fun, singing, great drinks, friends….party til it closes“

“I tried their "The Ivar" burger. The Lamb Merguez Patty and the combination of flavors, including cucumber and mint labneh, were delicious. It was my first time trying a lamb burger, and it exceeded my expectations. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the experience.“

“This chicken place offers a unique and delicious take on fried chicken that will leave you wanting more. Their signature chicken boasts a sweet and sour flavor profile reminiscent of Chinese cuisine, and it's absolutely delicious. The honey mustard and buttermilk ranch dipping sauces perfectly complement the chicken and other menu items. Beyond the savory options, the pie and ice cream combo is a must-try – a truly exceptional dessert that ranks among the best I've ever had. The pleasant music creates a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, further enhancing the dining experience. Overall, this establishment is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking flavorful chicken and a delightful dining experience.“

“The staff are pretty cool and friendly. I tried the honey butter chicken sandwich. It was really good! I loved the honey butter dripping on my hands, and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. My son loved his chicken strips and fries as well, except the medium turned out to be a little too spicy for him. We don't live in the area, but it was a nice spot for us to stop by for a quick lunch.“

“We had a great experience“
