Asian Restaurants near Culver City

“I don’t know why this place has the reviews it does - I think the noodle soup is BOMB! I always get the lamb noodle soup. So yummy, still has a kick and the noodles are soft and squishy. So comforting especially when sick. The lamb is also really really good.“

“Came in during the lunch rush and it was pretty fast! Friendly staff! Giving 4 starts because it’s only a small size and other places have two. Also; I agree with other reviews about asking for double sauces! Other than that; pretty good!“

“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.“

“Kinkan feels like a love letter to flavor. We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and left feeling nourished in every way. Each dish was beautifully crafted, delicate yet bold. Perfect for a quiet celebration, a romantic date, or a night to remember. A true neighborhood treasure.“

“Andreas Super helpful and knowledgeable about all the foods on the menu the chef always hook it up fresh. Oh my God, cucumber salad stuff. It’s unbelievable delicious number of sauces. You can choose from really affordable and large portions. You have to try this place multiple different choices. Trust me you will not be disappointed.“

“I loved my dining experience there! The decor is warm and special; the service, impeccable, and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. I recommend the lobster spring rolls, the calamari and shrimp salad, and the duck fried rice. If you really like lemongrass, then try the seared scallops!“

“So glad to finally tried this place, I don't have to drive to Ktown when I have the cravings for Korean food. I was skeptical but I had to try this place at least once. I went there with my daughter for lunch, ordered kimchee fried rice, kimche jjigae and port katzu. The portions were good and the taste was pretty authentic. Definitely going back. I'm sure their sushi will be pretty good as well as our lunch was.“

“Disclaimer: This review is for a Yelp Elite event in conjunction with Lokal Venice.

Thank you @Lokal.Venice & @YelpLA for introducing me to this neighborhood gem. Sarah, Julia and the Westside Yelp team knocked another one out of the ballpark - the second this week!

Vanessa at the counter was friendly and knowledgeable. She contrasted that this location was full service with drinks and a more extensive menu.

I opted for the vegetarian and she directed me to the tofu lemongrass banh mi. I was already coffee’d out after opening day of dayglow coffee in Venice earlier in the AM, so I opted for Thai iced tea. It comes with 2 non dairy options, almond and oat. Vanessa made the dealers choice of oat milk.

It took less than 10 minutes to get a fresh banh mi, as we sipped the Thai iced tea that was out in a minute.

Thai iced tea was sweet but not too sweet, and oat milk made it less heavy than dairy. It had a refreshing quality to it, and that distinct flavor of tea.

What makes a good banh mi great is the baguette. This one had a nice crunch, had just the right amount of vegan mayo to not make it soggy. You know it’s legit when you get oodles of cilantro, jalapeño and that distinct sweet spicy kick of carrots and other veggies. The tofu was lightly fried and soaked in all the flavor. It wasn’t too lemongrassy but in combination with the bread and pickled veggies, packed a punch. Overall some of the better banh mi I’ve had. It tasted fresh and was satisfying. I really appreciated their choice of hot sauce that did not have additives and other nasty fillers.

Overall a solid experience when craving the Vietnamese French sandwich, which I do often. I will be back to try their burger and some of Vanessa’s favorites on the menu: Cubano, Korean bbq banh mi and the vegan burger.

Tip: The restroom is clean but needs a key.

Tip: Free parking in the strip mall lot
Tip: Check out the lunch special from 8 am to 4 pm. At $15 for OG Burger, fries and a beer it’s the best deal in town.“

“My wife and I popped into this quaint establishment for an early dinner and were so pleasantly surprised. We both had the stir fry over rice. Everything was fresh and the taste was outstanding. The owners were so friendly and welcoming, and they checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our food. We will definitely be returning!“

“I finally made it to Chibiscus and had an excellent meal. It is a small shop with a few tables and has some cute decor. And it has parking!!!  There is street parking as well if the lot is full. It is not a huge book of a menu. But the choices are well done, and everyone should be able to find something they want here. I started with the veggie potstickers and a spicy tuna hand roll. And then had the chicken curry dish as my entrée. Do not order too much at first, save some room for dessert. Oh my gosh! The desserts look amazing, and folks drive from all over for the brick toasts here. My food arrived after just a bit. The potstickers were good. Good flavor and not overcooked, along with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy tuna handroll was huge! What a deal! Maybe 6-7 bites to eat it all. The curry came out and was a good amount of food, just like everything else that had already been served. A large scoop of rice, some pickled ginger and a big bowl of Curried chicken came out. It was really hot, and I needed to let it cool a bit before digging in. It had a nice flavor, like a brown sauce with curry added maybe(?). Potatoes, carrots, and plenty of chicken, it was a good amount of food. I probably should have taken some food home but ended up just eating everything there. Next time, dessert!“

“2024.10
The customer service was very good! The server was kind, polite, and had a wonderful smile.
However, the taste of the food is extremely ordinary? and there is nothing wrong with it...
It tastes like home cooking in a good way.
The rice flour noodles and chili oil on the table were very delicious.“

“TRULY SOME OF THE BEST SUSHI IN LA!!!! I was amazed when everything came out beautiful, fresh, tasty, creative, and utterly perfect. This place is a gem and I look forward to going back. Definitely the prices are appropriate for the quality of fish and level of food/service they provide here. Everything was fantastic. They should be very proud of their restaurant! I know I would be. Well done, Hanabi Sushi! I will definitely be coming back and often!“

“I come here often and it never disappoints. Giselle made our visit this time! She was so sweet and very attentative. Kaliah was also amazing and so helpful. Thank you ladies for making our experience a great one! Oh… and the food always fire!“

“This review is for TAKE OUT. I came in person, placed an order and was told it would be 15 minutes and while I was sitting there I asked about the condiments and was offered to have them added to my order!

The loved the vegetarian fresh Summer Rolls with the peanut sauce. This comes in 2 pieces. I could of had 2 more! I took my photo after I ate half of one roll.

I also ordered the Larb Kai which I loved! The spicy, tangy chili dressing with the ground chicken is heaven! I should of ordered 2 of these! I finished it in just a few minutes!

My husband loved his Spicy Noodle with Chicken! He let me have one bite and the flavors were spicy unami good! He also ordered then Panang Curry with a large rice.

The staff is very polite and efficient. The restaurant interior minimal. There are places to sit down and eat, but it might feel a bit too cozy to sit down here if the restaurant was full with people.

I am craving more of this delicious food as I finish writing my review.“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“The sushi was on point. I had a caterpillar roll. The ingredients were fresh and I was full from the size of the roll! Also, it was quite a deal too as I had dinner on a Wednesday. Currently, Monday through Friday the restaurant is offering 20% off.“

“Driving through the area and spotted this little spot serving up some delicious food. The Bop is tiny, small tables, good music and friendly service. The menu offers a lot of options and I couldn’t decide what to order. I finally chose the bulgogi bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Great container to keep the food fresh and once I at down the flavors and textures were very satisfying.“

“My first time there and I had a really great time, the food was delicious and our Servers were Amazing. Loved it!!“

“whoa. a gem! tucked away deep in a community club and completely unassumming. the sweet thai lady at the counter gave great service and suggested the thai noodle dishes. got the spicy noodle and am so impressed. great prices, good portion, delicious. wow.“

“Delicious food, Always good quality. I have been going here weekly for over a year. The only thing that is frustrating, is that their closing time is not accurate with what they have it listed on google, I’ve had doordash orders go through that never came in, and i showed up to the location to be denied.. 30 minutes before listed closing time.“

“Good food, I got the #1 and the portions were very filling. They offer samples of the teriyaki chicken which got me to order the dish. Although the actual dish wasn't as sauced, the meat was still tender and tasty. Only downside was that some bites of rice were uncooked.“

“I'm glad Jetta Thai is back! They still have delicious food and the employees are so nice! I cannot emphasize how much I enjoy this place, I definitely recommend if you like Thai food.

Kid-friendliness: My son loves the Thai food from here!“

“I really like it.. The server is really kind and takes good care of me. I wore white clothes, but they gave me an apron right away, asked me about the side dishes first, and gave me refills. Most of all, the food was so delicious. Onmyeon is the best. Oh, and I like Jisamseon, so I always eat eggplant dishes. Today, I saw that there was grilled eggplant, so I ordered it and it was so, so delicious. Today's discovery was grilled eggplant!!! (I also ate cold noodles, but eat hot noodles rather than cold noodles!! Eat hot noodles)“

“The green salad and fried shrimps lacked the taste, which sounded mediocre. However, the macaroni one and dumplings (I forgot the name) were okay, while the yakisoba was tenderly good. Even the service was excellent with a fantastic atmosphere. Loved the restaurant since it was good to visit, as I'd recommend it.“

“Happened upon this nice spot because I didn't want to wait 45 minutes to an hour to eat Thai.
The soup and the fried rice were Very Tasty. I only wished I had inquired about the types of vegetables that go into the rice. I know next time I will ask for no carrots and no celery. I will return even though it's far from my house, I feel it's worth it! Give it a try!
Photos next time!!!?“

“loved! loved! loved! beautiful decor, awesome ambiance, great and friendly service and delicious food! reasonably priced! And so conveniently next door to the Whiskey, great for when there's a show you're going to attend. all the thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼“

“We had a very nice dinner here. It was highly recommended by a friend. It is a cute little place that fills up quickly. We ended up sitting outside with some heaters, which was quite nice. We tried the Brussel sprout appetizer, and it was excellent. We ordered the Asian roll, the lobster tempura roll as well as the soft shell crab roll. All were very good. The negima, which is chicken on a stick, was very tasty. We finished with mochi, which was perfect.“

“Best deal in town. We’ll be putting this place on our favorite restaurants list to come back often.“

“My new favorite Thai food spot! I always order yellow curry so that’s what my review is based on. I am vegetarian so chose it with tofu. I had additional requests and they came through. I asked to make it mild and leave onions out and add vegetables too. Got everything I asked for about $15 out the door ! Sauce was thick and tasty, rice included. Atmosphere wasn’t the best but I had my food to go anyway. Waited about 15 minutes. Worth every minute and penny. We found parking in the back.

Vegetarian options: I had yellow curry

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian“

“I swear this place has the best happy hour and best service and the food is off the chain. Judy and the bartenders were the best. Judy made sure I was ok and gave the extra greater service in making sure my time at the bar was great kudos to her, and he staff with great service made the day even better!“

“Great Food. Price it's right.“

“The ambiance, food and service is great! Will be back definitely 💯!“
