“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“the chicken slaps! got the 3 tender combo, and these are by far some of the biggest tenders i’ve ever had (def should’ve got the 2 count). I ordered them with the “spark” seasoning and imo hits the perfect spicy but not too hot level. also ordered the cheese curds which were great as well! plenty of parking which is rarity in LA. 9/10 experience!“

“Good and delicious food…happy hour is great!“

“Great asian fusion food. Awesome for happy hour!!“

“I had a great time at the shop! My waiter, Albino, was funny, attentive, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The classic burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Excellent service and food—I’ll definitely be coming back for another visit soon!“

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.“

“Excellent Fresh Organic Options“

“Baked bar is just an awesome little community hub! Having lived in Culver for three years now, it’s always packed for such a small space. The staff is lovely, great with dietary needs, and a positive environment. I also love how they have local products they sell, and their own homemade creations too. Anyone looking for a hole in the wall spot is missing out on this gem!“

“The cookies and cream ice cream is so good! They also give you a generous portion. The ice cream doesn’t melt easily even when we were eating outside in a hot weather. I have to mention they have a lot of vegan options too! And lastly, the staff is really nice which makes the overall experience really great. 😊“

“It is the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Unfortunately there isn’t one where we live. But anytime I am in CA we always go to the one in Riverside.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Holy crap. I’ve been trying to find an excellent protein shake place with supplement add-one like creatine, meal replacements, fat burner, etc. and this place HAS IT. It’s so hard finding a good protein shake place that makes it right and this place ABSOLUTELY KILLS the protein shakes. I got the Cinnamon Toast with Fat Burner and Creatine, but I’m trying the peanut butter pistachio next time. It’s a bit of a drive for me since I’m based in LA but I think it’s so worth it. Highly highly recommend.“

“Love this treasure in the heart of Mar Vista.“

“Staff is Awesome 👏🏽 Location is Great 👍🏽 Drinks 🍹 are Delicious 😋 Yummy 😋 Thank you, Scarlet Lady Saloon for allowing 🖤💛⚜️Who Dat N L.A. 🖤💛⚜️ to Socialize during Our Game Time. It’s also a place to socialize anytime. I will return 💃🏿☂️🖤💛⚜️“

“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!!“

“Very eclectic. The place reminded me of the way live was before mass fast food. The service was on point. The food was delicious. Im sad I didn't take a picture but got overwhelmed with the flavors.
Corned beef hash with 1/2 B&G is 🔥“

“Enjoyed some yummy burritos & quesadillas while getting some drinks (horchata for the kidlets).

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly until 7:30pm (and very polite with a reminder from security to be sure we knew they become 21+ after that time).“

“Yanina Nunez the manager is amazing, excellent service. She made me feel important by asking me how was the food? Is there anything we can do better? She also helped me carry my food since I walk with a cane and it’s hard to carry things! Thank you Yanina💕. I will be back. The food was delicious.“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

“Absolutely one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had in Los Angeles! From the first bite to the last, everything was bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The dishes were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced, with just the right mix of creativity and authenticity.

The service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. You can tell the team really cares about giving guests a memorable experience. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions.

If you’re in LA and looking for unforgettable food, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“PERFECTLY WRAPPED SANDWICHES

SERVICE: The owners make sure everyone is taken care of. Now, that is excellent service!

Food:
Popular with my family. My mom really liked the chicken salad sandwich. Sometimes, it is unavailable.

Parking situation:
Very challenging. Pick up vistors parking on the BUS ONLY lane...not too good situation. Drivers waiting on streets blocking traffic to find a spot.

Conclusion:
Cute sandwich store with condiment and snack displays.“

“Love the food and the ambience! Relax and friendly ! The new one in Playa Vista is worth going even if you don’t live in the area!“

“These guys have the BEST breakfast chorizo burrito. It’s so good, and healthy. Their coffee is great too, I typically have only gotten their iced lattes and chai lattes. The place is cute too with tabletop chess boards to play if you dine in, which I’ve also done a couple times. I frequent here a lot, mostly takeout but enjoy dining in when I have time too. This place is so unassumingly amazing.“

“It was so delicious 😋 definitely going back“

“one place uou can't ho wrong. Finally Indian fine cuisine at it's BEST. I highly recommend.“

“In Culver city ..Chill Vibes..Great Date Night Venue“

“Definitely a hidden gem! Their Na Chapa with beef is delicious, I'm definitely addicted to their catupiry too, alongside with their home made peppers. The place is cozy and homey and a great surprise for us for our first stop in LA!

Edit: Came back again. As great as I remembered.“

“Excelente food with unbelievable service“

“The best ramen in Culver City! I first had Ippudo in New York over a decade ago went it was arguable the top ramen spot in the entire city. Since then I’ve had it in Tokyo and now am so glad to have here in Culver. The Akamaru Modern is still as excellent and balanced a bowl as it’s always been.“

“I stumbled into this place a few years ago and was blown away by the flavor. It's now the first place I recommend to people.“

“El Huarique Peruvian Kitchen delivers a vibrant and satisfying taste of Peruvian cuisine with bold, well-balanced flavors. The dishes feel hearty and authentic, with a great mix of spices and textures that stand out. I especially enjoyed how fresh everything tastes, from the seafood to the sides. The atmosphere is casual but welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. It’s a great spot for trying something flavorful and a little different.“

“Super Dumpling is a great stop if you’re on the way to the aipport. The service was great (Thank you to our server Win who understood we were in a rush!!!) and the food came really quickly. We ordered the chicken and crab dumplings that was perfectly juicy, a true delicacy. We also got the Mapo Tofu and recommend going extra spicy because the flavoring was superb. Will be returning for the next dinner before dinner meal!“

“Best place to eat on the westside.“

“Great drinks, delicious food, the most ADDICTIVE CHIPS and guacamole- I promise you won't be able to stop at one order so walk your 25k steps before you make reservations! Our server was so pleasant and engaging and the entire staff that day 3/21 @6pm was awesome includingthe valet as we left! I forgot to get names, hence why I gave the date we were here:) I had the best quesadilla and my husband ordered a chicken and a carne Asada taco...DELICIOUS!“

“Taqueria Chihuahua is a great spot for classic Mexican comfort food done right. The tacos are flavorful and satisfying, with well-seasoned meats and fresh toppings that come together nicely. I especially liked how consistent everything feels, from the tortillas to the salsas. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, making it perfect for a quick and enjoyable meal. It’s a reliable place when you’re craving something simple, authentic, and full of flavor.“

“Delicious food. Generous serving sizes. Nice people. Chill place. Definitely will return and highly recommend.“

“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.“

“In the heart ♥️ of the beautiful downtown of Culver City Salt & Straw Is there waiting for you to go and taste they’re vegan ice cream 🍦 with fresh waffle cones 😋yummy . The place is nice,clean ,friendly staff and you get one hour free parking“

“Great pizza! Crust was amazing and the choices are diverse. We had both a pepperoni and a fungi w/sausage. Delicious. Once we found a seat the patio was delightful. Quiet neighborhood. Parking was found not far away, be sure to read the street parking signs. P.S. it is through the market to the back and to the left.“

“We enjoyed the food but as most of the fried items are cooked in the same oil, if you have an allergy issue, my wife could not eat many of the cooked items. It’s not cheap. Three people about $200 which includes gratuity. For those with no allergies, we enjoyed the food.“

“Super cute coffee shop with very friendly staff and a lovely, sunny corner vibe. Definitely try their signature vanilla bourbon latte. It is excellent, and their large is actually a large, which I appreciate. A great spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the light.“

“I attended the Harvard Extended event at The Culver Hotel and had a great time!“

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“Buen servicio de comidas !“

“Simply The Best.. I will be coming back for sure!“

“Soo tasty! I loved the OG Ahi Tuna. So fresh and the sauce on top was really good. Although I got my food to go, I’d eat there with the beer taps and all!“

“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.“
