“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!“

“Lee’s cafe is a Taiwanese-style cafe with a hint of Hong Kong sparkle, serving the perfect mix of Taiwanese and Hong Kong food. The toast is absolutely marvelous, and I truly believe it is worth every penny. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the other dishes. The sesame cold noodles were good, but missing something—I felt they didn’t quite hit the mark. The wontons were delicious, but the braised pork belly rice was your typical run-of-the-mill rice. Nothing terribly special, but delicious nonetheless. The HK milk tea, however, leaned very watery and missed the signature strong tea taste of a HK milk tea.
Also, their bathroom sink was broken and put as a “use at your own risk”. Hopefully they have fixed this since my visit!
Yet, through all this, I would still return to Liu’s kitchen—for their toast!“

“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!“

“We were greeted at the door, and given complimentary miso soup with our order. We got six different Yubu (buy five get one free). They were FANTASTIC. The torched salmon was a little overcooked, so it was a little fishy, but overall they were very good. Bulgogi and King Yubu were overall favorites.“

“Met two friends (we are 43-60) here for dinner tonight and we had a lovely time. We came early at 5:15, we had one of each of the skewers, the salmon curry and the sprouted cauliflower. We thoroughly enjoyed it all.
Certain songs felt a little loud but mostly the music was fine for chatting. Service was excellent. Look forward to returning!“

“A really wonderful dining experience! The food is so creative while maintaining integrity to both Thai and Japanese cuisines. It was really fun to be all seated at the bar for the Autumn kaiseki menu. The sommelier was so fun and friendly and recommended not only incredible wines, but bonus sake tastings well. it's the kind of place that does a fixed menu, but you wanna keep going back because it rotates and everyone's so friendly a perfect blend of upscale and Neighbourhood vibe..“

“I had an incredible meal here recently. The ramen was absolutely fantastic and hit the spot perfectly.

I was especially impressed by the bowl topped with fresh cilantro and a bright lime wedge. The broth had such a deep, rich flavor that kept me coming back for more. Everything was served in beautiful, unique bowls that made the experience feel special.

I cannot wait to come back for another round. It is easily one of my favorite spots on Ventura Boulevard.“

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

“Fresh, healthy food w generous portions. I had the hana salad w chicken and the iced matcha cloud latte. The salad was fresh and their sauce/condiment bar made it extra tasty. The matcha was super yummy, on par or better with any specialty coffee/tea place. The Okinawa sugar made it elevated, though I ordered it less sweet. Will def be back!“

“I recently ordered catering from Lokal Venice and it was such a great experience. The place itself is super cute, the interior is really well put together and just beautiful to look at.

This was my first time ordering catering from them, and it was a total success. Everything was delivered right on time, and the presentation was amazing. I ordered burritos and asked them to cut them in half, which made everything look extra neat and organized, perfect for a group setting.

I had quite a few dietary restrictions to accommodate since this was for a Teacher Appreciation Day at a school (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, egg allergies, dairy-free) and they handled everything so well. The communication was easy, they responded quickly to emails, and made the whole process stress-free.

On top of all that, they even let me take their insulated bags to make it easier to transport everything, they just asked me to return them later. I thought that was such a thoughtful and helpful touch.

I 1000% recommend them, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again for my next catering!“

“came randomly after a concert just because it was in the structure that i parked in and it was open late and damn i was not expecting the food to be so good. For higher end (in my opinion) sushi the price was extremely fair and the food was incredible plus the inside was super nice. On top of that lady that served us was super sweet and attentive def recommend as i’m super picky with sushi“

“I had an excellent lunch at Sushi Yuzu. The restaurant has a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, and everything I ordered tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

I started with the tuna sampler, which was beautifully presented and offered several different cuts and preparations of tuna. Each one had its own distinct flavor and texture, and the quality of the fish really stood out. It was a great way to sample the restaurant’s sushi and a perfect start to lunch.

The highlight, though, was the spicy tuna crispy rice. The rice was crisp and golden on the outside without being overly hard or greasy, while the spicy tuna was fresh, flavorful, and nicely balanced. It had just enough heat without overpowering the fish. I’d even dare to say Sushi Yuzu’s spicy tuna crispy rice was better than Katsuya’s, which is a very high bar.

The food felt refined without being fussy, and the quality made a casual lunch feel special. Sushi Yuzu is definitely worth visiting if you enjoy fresh sushi, especially tuna. I’ll absolutely be returning to try more of the menu.“

“What a beautiful restaurant. Loved the menu- so many delicious options, ended up getting the bulgogi plate and it came with so many yummy sides I was delighted. Also the interior is Titanic themed and it’s pretty and fun. Thank you 🙏“

“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.“

“Best bowl of ramen (my fav tonkotsu) in the city! I’ve becoming here for at least 10 years and that ramen has remained so consistent. Also try the milk tea, kimchi fried rice and brick toast! Enjoy J- and K- pop videos while you eat. Love this place!“

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

“Eat here about once a week. Always good. My fave is the won ton soup and the cashew nut chicken.“

“So happy we stopped by O Banh Mi for some delicious banh mi for a late to-go lunch while visiting Silver Lake! The lemongrass chicken and beef banh mi sandwiches were flavorful, fresh, and swiftly prepared, but what I really enjoyed was chatting with the owner, Natalie, who was so friendly and kind to me and my toddler. Vietnamese coffee was also perfect. We can't wait to return on our next trip back to LA!“

“The food was delish!

The gal who took our orders was friendly and helpful with providing some details about their menu. It wasn't fast food and tasted freshly made. The four of us who went said we'd all go again.“

“I’ve lived in Mar Vista for years and somehow never knew about this place. Let me tell you… the fish is SO fresh, the rolls are delicious, but the spicy garlic edamame is on a whole different level of amazing!!!! Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Definitely found my new favorite restaurant.“

“This place is serious. Got the Pad see ew (they call it pad Z ew lol), tom kha with chicken, vegetable egg rolls, and mango sticky rice. Everything was excellent. Not good, excellent. Definitely if this is within 30 - 45 minutes of you, go out of your way to try it. Service great, very friendly and courteous. Prices are excellent too. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Best clubhouse and support group around. I love that they have a great homemade Thai food restaurant and wonderful people that work there, especially the men at the front desk.

Absolutely warm and loving place with tremendous support and meetings. 💕🤟
Go and find out !“

“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.“

“What a great surprise... Everything tasted fresh and the flavors felt authentic, and the staff were super helpful.

Instead of the standard yuzu or ponzu you find at most poke spots, the salmon ikura bowl came with a unique house sauce that paired perfectly with the fish. The poke bowl’s mustard ponzu was another standout and added a ton of flavor without overpowering the ingredients.

You can tell they put thought into the small details here. If you’re looking for a poke spot that goes beyond the usual formula, The Bop is definitely worth a visit!!“

“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.“

“Manager KI Bae is a true Service oriented Manager, his attention to detail, customer service was beyond exceptional. His genuine sincerity is a true testament there is still individuals that care about their performance. The entire staff was great and the main reason why we frequently attend the Santa Monica location“

“SO GOOD!!! I’m eating it as we speak but I couldn’t wait to give them a review! Delicious! Feels and looks fresh and healthy! Great flavors! Good amounts for reasonable prices! I’m so so happy I discovered this! Loved the ginger lime sauce!“

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

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and its exceptional staff!

While traveling late into the evening with our two young children, an unexpected transit delay left our family stranded downtown waiting on a long connection. Looking for a safe, welcoming spot to get the kids off the street, we popped in and explained our situation.

Even though we were only stopping in for a quick drink and not ordering a full meal, Robert treated our family with extraordinary warmth, kindness, and hospitality. He made sure we felt completely safe, comfortable, and cared for, letting us take all the time we needed to keep the kids relaxed while we waited.

It is rare to find a business with this level of genuine heart and empathy. Beyond the fantastic atmosphere, the level of service provided by Robert and the team is second to none. If you are looking for a spot with exceptional service and genuinely wonderful people, I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Thank you!“

“My family come from NewYork and we order pho combo and bun bo hue. It is 10/10. The owner dropped by to greet us and also ask how is the food. My sister was not feeling well so I ask the owner to buy a slice of ginger. He came back with the whole ginger and gave to me with no charge. I am so grateful. Thank you very much.“

“Love this place! Me and my boyfriend come here frequently and get the lamb kebabs, spicy noodle soup, stuffed mushrooms and fish cakes. The food tastes almost like a Korean/Mediterranean fusion. Their menu is huge and every time I try something new it tastes amazing. Their side dishes are often changing which keeps it interesting. The atmosphere is fun with lots of lights and tv’s often playing K-pop. We come late at night to see our favorite server who often gives us free gifts and is very welcoming. You won’t regret trying it out!“

“Food was amazing. I ordered the pumpkin curry, flavor was great, default spice level was spot on for a pasty boy like me. Service was great. The location is a little odd but kinda adds to the charm. It always pretty quiet in there when I went so it's possible when there's more activity in the community center thing it could be a little less charming. I will definitely be coming back.“

“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👍🏼👍🏼“

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. The Thai flavors were authentic and comforting, and the portions were generous.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere made it a great spot to sit back and enjoy a meal. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented. This is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to anyone craving great Thai food.“

“I’ve had Curry all over this country and let me tell you they have some fabulous Curry here. Our server Nicole who is extremely nice by the way was very knowledgeable as to how they prepare their Curry she highlighted the chili paste from Thailand. I highly recommend going here if you love Curry their menu is extensive. If you get the Curry be prepared to be blown away !“

“Food was good. Pork estofado is the best.
But their system is kinda chaotic the labels for the food dont match the food it is on. Or sometimes the food doesn’t have label/name on it so you would have to guess or point the food out to the server which is inconvenient if there is a long line. Please put names on the individual food.“
