“First things first. I grew up around the area so this shopping center is very familiar to me. About this Chinese food joint, I'm 30 years old and ever since Im able to have a memory I can remember eating this Chinese food. Of course it has gone threw it's ups n downs and of course it will have drama out in the parking lot do to it being in the area that it's in. But back to this joint, I've seen many food spots come n go from this center but never has this restaurant been in trouble of shutting down, sure once in 30 yrs they must of had a bad grade for one reason or another but I can tell you for sure is that the food is exactly what you expect from a fast food Chinese spot. Noodles are thick and juicy. Fried rice is as fried and juicy as you expect. Prices have gone up like everything else in life. Back then I remember 5 dollars got you a 2 side combo. Now it's around 7ish bucks a 2 side combo. Recommend the chicken on a stick with sauce. Like I said I've known this place as long as I've known Compton swapmeet but thats gone already and this spot is still here. Don't let a few Asian immagrsntd spoil your Chinese plate remember all races have attitudes and this place has real Asians working there. Let me just add i have never known the real name of this spot and never cared or bothered on knowing it. Those that know this place simply know it as the Chinese spot on Atlantic that's how good it is. like I said it's been open since the 90s so a bad review from new customers really won't cover the thousands of happy belly's like me. I'm heading there tomorrow as a matter a fact. I'm also a fan of it's sister spot on Rosecrans got started way after this one but same style same people same service same deliciousness!! Not a paid actor nor will I be compassionated for my review. Just glad this place is still around.”
“I went with my girlfriend a couple of weeks ago and everything was amazing. It was our first time there, and we'll be back soon. Thank you to all the staff members from Damian!!!5 ⭐️”
“This is my favorite restaurant of the year! Exceptional food and service, and I love the ambiance of being in a converted home. The menu is almost constantly changing (so plenty of temptation to go back).The first time I visited Heritage I booked a return trip as soon as I left the restaurant. Fortunately (for my bank account, if not my taste buds) I live a couple of hours away, otherwise who knows how often I'd be there.A must try!”
“Made reservations ahead of time and was seated within a couple of minutes of arrival. Service and food were amazing. Ordered 4 dishes between 2 of us and must say that our favorite was the goat liver mousse. The crumpets that accompany the mousse were the star!Parking: Parking is along the street around the restaurant. May be difficult to find parking if coming during peak dinner hours. Some streets may be dark so be wary of surroundings.”
“Simply amazing fusion good influenced w Taiwan local food taste (taiwan arguably has best street food :).. ). Amazing presentation and tastes that remind me of various well known dishes in taiwan. We added 2 extra dishes on top of the 9-course meal…. Simply amazing experience.”
“I loved this place, probably the best tacos I’ve had in L.A. the drinks are perfectly balanced. I’ll be coming back for the lomo Saltado and the Panay dropper. Bartenders were fantastic and tacos came out super ”
“I stopped by on a Saturday morning. Had a delicious breakfast and was able to test ride the Del Mar electric motorcycle. Bike had amazing torque and would work well for city commuting.”
“Great meal with the parents at Bavel - the wagyu tagine, duck nduja hummus and lamb neck shawarma were amazing. Server was great and our second sommelier was good as well - strange interaction with first som who brought a bunch of reserve list wines to us that were not anything like what we described we were interested in.”
“Holbox is a must try for anyone who has even the slightest inclination for uni.The food at Holbox really is five stars but their food rating is four stars from me out of [maybe] no fault of their own.This entire market is alcohol-free.I am certain there will be more than a few who agree with me that a great ceviche really isn't that great without booze.”
“Highly recommend! I’ve been here twice now and had excellent experiences both times. The pizza is phenomenal—simple and perfectly done. The patio seating is particularly lovely, with several cacti and flowers and even the occasional hummingbird.”
“I was uncomfortable with the place down the street. It looked rowdy. Javi told us to try this place. He said it's been here over 10 years. I wish I knew about this place sooner. It's a hidden gem.They have a huge indoor seating area, cafeteria style. There's restrooms.We paid $120 for two botanas, a dozen oysters, 6 shrimp tacos, two tostadas, and three drinks. Yum. Sorry! We were hungry, forgot to take before pictures. ?”
“STEPH JUDGEMENT: Charming atmosphere and good food, but slightly uneven service. We were staying at the hotel and decided to try it for breakfast. It had an adorable retro 1930s vibe going on, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered a coffee and their smoked salmon and latke (same as hash browns), and was pleasantly surprised by an unexpected poached egg. The hubby ordered two scrambled eggs and "cool ranch" hash browns (basically cool ranch dust). Everything was delicious, but after the server dropped off our food she was nowhere to be seen for a while, and it took some time to settle our bill. Luckily we weren't in a hurry, and I believe they had just opened, so I'm sure the service will improve as they get their bearings. I'd definitely like to try them again when next in the area.”
“You will not find better service than when you enter Borjstar. Honestly, they treat you like a star. They are attentive and incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating. The food is just as great. Very flavorful and leaves you wanting more! They also have a yogurt/ice cream dispenser so you can treat yourself before/after your meal. Put Borjstar on your list of restaurants to visit in the Gardena/South Bay area. You won't regret it!”
“Magnificent, fabulous, the most delicious sexiest pizza I’ve ever had.The service is beyond! Their soft serve is to die for. And the vibes are so cute! Will be breaking up with little coyote!Also forgot to take a photo because it was sooo good!”
“This place was awesome. Best service I have had in years. I felt very welcome and they cared about my experience. Food was great and fresh.Lots of great dishes to share!Dumplings are awesomeSeaweed salad was refreshingPeanuts and anchovies was too strong for my palate. Would not order againMake a stop to experience this restaurant!!!Kid-friendliness: Casual location for the family”
“Love Shlap Muon! Best chicken wings I’ve ever had—my favorite is the Jalapeño MSG with a side of Buffalo sauce! I first tried their food in San Francisco earlier this year and had to visit the new location on my family vacation. It didn’t disappoint as all of our food was excellent and the owners are so friendly. Best of luck in SoCal!”
“There's definitely a reason this place keeps coming up everywhere as number ones bartenders are nice with a touch of sass like you'd like at a dive bar, but it's elevated. The prices are pretty pricey, but for the love ingredients and originality of the cocktails I guess it's alright, but I'm not staying for more than two lol. We ordered 4 cocktails and two mocktails and it was about $100 so time to go home lol. They have yummy little snacks and overall we were happy with this new Long Beach spot.”
“Some of the best Michigan food from my truck in Los Angeles County.The food is impeccable and everything they do is done. Really well executed very well.Parking: You just pull up and park”
“This is truly a gem of a hole in the wall!! Almost literally, and I say that with respect and appreciation. This cute little eatery is easy to miss, being tucked in a very small strip mall (if it even qualifies as that!) between a small pharmacy and a laundromat, just south of the Arco on the corner of PCH and Pacific. But once you have eaten here, boy oh boy is it hard to forget!I come here about once every other week when I'm on a regular work schedule. Became hooked immediately with their unique bahn mi sandwiches and their pate chaud. Now I'm completely obsessed with their plant-based shrimp spring rolls and their grilled pork bun bowl. That bowl is the perfect balance of light and filling, flavorful and refreshing. It is one of my lunch go-to options. And the plant-based shrimp rolls are AMAZING. Obviously I'm not vegan, but this is an item that I enjoy so much despite it all.I have yet to try their pho. Maybe one of these days. They do have seating inside, but no restroom. Also, parking lot is small and shared, so I avoid coming during peak lunch hours, usually after 1 to pick up my food, and I've had no issues.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, flavorful too!Parking: Parking lot is pretty small and shared with a pharmacy, laundromat and discount store.”
“Hella Great smash burgers! Orange Cream soda was perfection. Nice day sitting on the patio watching guys shank their tees off the first tee box Owner wants to make sure everything is perfect. We will be back.”
“Really delicious food. Tiny outside eating area. Valet parking, which is good because this isn't a neighborhood where you'd like to be walking around at night getting to your car.Kid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“First time trying and definitely will be back, the food was good , customer service was great, chef came out help me out real good experience and the food again AOoonnnneeee!!! Definitely will be ”
“Before traveling to L.A. I googled best places to eat. Tacos LA Carreta was one of the suggestions. So after a full day of activities we decided to give it a try. Thank goodness we did! Best Tortas and tacos I ever had!! We will definitely make this a go-to for sure.”
“An outstanding evening - great food, excellent, informative & fun Server (Thanks, Maria!). Nice vibe. Cozy space. Counter is fun. AND - who would have ever imagined we'd try “Orange Wine” (don't be a chicken like me - it's actually a whole new experience) ?. Really nice.”
“I highly recommend this spot for authentic Cambodian cuisine. Our group of four didn't have to wait long and there was an iPad outside for joining the waitlist for a table. There's a variety of noodle options available. We tried the Phnom Penh Noodle Special dry and soup, Beef and Meatball Noodle, Pork Rice Porridge with fried breadstick, and ordered round bread on the side. While the round bread was too dense and hard, the meat bread had too many onions. Despite the rushed service causing a couple of mistakes, the overall experience was quite good, with fast and efficient customer service. It was very hard to find parking there so we had to park in the neighborhood.”
“First time we try this place and it has become our new fav brunch/lunch spot in Long Beach right away!The food is super tasty and healthy, definitely one of the best vegan food I ever had in LA. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. To top it off, the patio tables and indoor/outdoor space make it very dog friendly which was perfect for our dog (it’s also 5min from Rosie’s beach, so very convenient!)”
“Certainly, here's a draft for your review:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Sushi Nikkei in Bixby Knolls truly stands out as a top-tier dining experience. While the food is undeniably fantastic, what truly sets this restaurant apart is the impeccable service. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality.

I highly recommend Sushi Nikkei for an unparalleled dining experience that exceeds expectations in both food quality and service."”
“Every time I've eaten here it's been delicious! I've been coming here since i was a toddler, many moons ago. This was the go to place for all the "Tia's" for tamale making get - togethers.Across the street, LA Gloria, they would buy the "maza" for the tamales fests. Great times. I don't make tamales anymore but i surely do go for the tacos and work Pot Lucks/Holiday work celebrations. It's not far from work. I give this 5 STARS!!!”
“Angela is an amazing host. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. The place is warm and full of life and the food is amazing. Probably the best Thai you can find anywhere within 50 miles! The homemade cilantro hot sauce should be bottled and sold. I would drink that by itself.Parking: Big lot nearby.”
“Super delicious and fresh. And the service was amazing. I don't speak a lot of Spanish. I look like I do, and when I speak what I can, I sound fluent. But I'm not. And a lot of times, people will treat you different when they expect you to speak Spanish and you don't. I didn't feel that at all here. Lupe made me feel very comfortable and helped me out great. Thanks Lupe!”
