“Went to this place with my husband three days ago barely got free to post this review. The food was great very authentic and the service was great as well. We will definitely go back even signed up for the rewards program in case we wanna order takeout.“

“This is our go to spot for yummy comfort food. My family enjoyed the Nashville chicken tacos, burger, brisket taco, and pretzel bites. The location was clean and had a nice energy. I appreciate the staff especially Caitlyn & Judith who were nice and helpful.“

“If you look up local family diner in the dictionary, this place would be the example! Awesome to see multiple customers hugging servers and staff as they enter and leave! I sat at the counter immediately and food was out in minutes! Waffle was good. Service was quick. In and out about 30 minutes! Wish I lived closer, as this would be my go-to diner!“

“The food was incredible and well balanced also the salsas are Delicious! I had the ribs, lentil and kale salad with strawberries (cleaned out my plate before I could take a picture). The service was incredible and very helpful explaining the food items available. The ambience was delightful, with attentive service adding to the experience. Plus, they offer a diverse range of healthy options alongside their delicious menu. Support local businesses like Serve2Enjoy for an unforgettable dining experience!“

“Quaint, intimate setting for vegan offerings.Very much enjoyed the experience on a weekday night date with my ?.It began with the Dreamy Green & Strawberry Piña Colada smoothies. These were amazing; fresh wholesome ingredients that tasted phenomenal when combined like they did.It was followed by the freshly made Lavender Dusted Beer Bread & Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip.Mains included, Crispy Chicken Sandwich & fries customized to Chili Cheese Fries. Fries were unforgettably good!Creamy Artichoke Spinach Pasta was so tasty & the consistency of the sauce was impressive for being vegan.Ended the night with the Affogato, that included their fresh vanilla ice cream & espresso.Being the Carnivore I am proud to be ?

“Our hostess Luz gave us excellent service. She took care of us flawlessly which was a party of 18 for my dad's 80th birthday on Sunday, April 21st. She was very cordial, efficient, and made everyone feel special!!! We appreciate and want her to be recognized for her excellent service!! She was always ahead of the game. We never had to ask for anything because she was always a step ahead of us. Thank you so much Luz!!! The Gonzales Family“

“Nice special today Salisbury steak mashed potatoes and steamed veg. Comfort food to the nth degree. A place my wife and daughter will always find something. Disappointed they did not have st paddy day corned beef and cabbage like they did last year. Milkshakes are best in town served in glass.“

“This place truly is a gem. Basic fundamentals of a good restaurant: good people and good food. I want to keep this short as possible but so much that needs to be said about this place. This place is literally the representation of the American dream. I grew up in this neighborhood since elementary, left into my twenties all over the place. I was originally looking for a quick bite at Maria's Bakery down the street but they were closed. Decided FINALLY try this place on a whim. Me and my buddy always told each other we would try it out one day but man ... if I had known such great people were running this place, I would have came sooner. Me being Asian American myself and in the restaurant industry... I felt it the moment I stepped foot inside... Best way to sum it up is "Real recognize Real". You can tell that they really love what they do and they do it well. It's something special to keep a place going for 77 years. Most restaurants now outsource products from big companies, everything pretty much tasting the same... but the moment I tried my food, I can tell a lot of it is done the old fashioned way. The beef for the sandwich, the pickles, the peppers ... does NOT taste like anywhere else. I've never been to Philippe's in LA but I would probably safely assume this can go toe to toe with them no question! Beef dip gravy you can tell made from the drippings and not purchased from SYSCO and the coleslaw was well balanced. Simon and Margarette really make the place what it is, a true mom and pop Asian American owned Restaurant with the heart and soul of Los Angeles food culture for what it was, is and should be!“
