“After putting it off for a long time, I finally made it here. The girl at the counter was very pleasant and didn't try to rush us to place our order. I chose the DUI while my wife ordered the birria tacos. I was surprised that she preferred the tacos here to the ones from Tacos El Goloso since I find those tacos pretty darn slammin' but she said these tacos were milder and suited her tastebuds better. As long as she's happy right? I wasn't as crazy about my choice. The DUI was just too salty. Everything from the pastrami and bacon bits to the dog itself. There wasn't anything to balance out the sodium overload. I was glad I ordered it on the lobster roll though since the larger/thicker bun probably helps keep the ingredients together better than just a plain bun. I think next time I'll go a bit more basic with a house dog or elote dog and see how that works out. The garlic fries with the dip were very good. My highlight though was the churro. It could have been bigger for $3 but horchata whipped cream dip they provide you with is KILLER. All in all it was a pleasant experience and I'm more than willing to try something different next time. I really need to try the dirty corn or esquite next time around to see how they do with that. Parking in this shopping center can be problematic. Not that it's that hard to find a space, unless you're trying to park by the 99 cent store but the problem is this center seems to be the gathering spot for the worst drivers in Gardena. This wasn't my first rodeo here and I can testify that 30% of the drivers here are blind, high, decrepit, or stupid. Be very careful navigating this parking lot. If possible, park closer to the Bruddah's restaurant and avoid the loonies pulling into/out of Starbucks, the Habit, and the 99 cent store. They do not pay attention or they think they always have the right of way. The worst are the old people driving the beat up tanks from the 70s. Beware my friends, beware.“
“First walking in I was greeted by Pricilla, such a sweet and informative girl! I’m here for lunch and it’s not packed for it being a Thursday! Food was and hot and is delicious as expected! D.U.I DOG satisfies your cravings of wanting a hot dog, pastrami, & carne asada! Quality and quantity when eating here! Don’t forget to leave a dollar on the wall!“
“Best sausages in LA. Been coming here for almost a decade and the quality has always been top tier. I've had every sausage on the menu multiple times. Mango Jalapeno is my favorite with a Klein, blue cheese/bacon/walnut dip, and a bitburger. “
“Food was hot and fresh. Service was great and friendly. Hot was definitely spicy. Lemon Pepper wings tasted like a cheap dry rub. Okay wing but it was missing that freshness from a saucy wing vs. dry rub. Nonetheless it was all a great value.“
“I always come for the hot dogs here. I remember when they were 1.50Now they're 5 bucksThey uae to be 2.50 right before covidFmlAnyways they use boarshead hot dogs. The only other place that uses boarshead is cupids but they're in the valley.“
“Went there for the first time today with the husband. The place was great had a good atmosphere. The employees where great handled the food properly, quick, friendly. The food was ok, nothing special about it. To me it lacks a bit of seasonings on their fries. We got a double cheeseburger, chili cheese fries with pastrami and pastrami sandwich. The pastrami sandwichs what what I felt was the best. And like I mentioned the service and their organization skills where great! Talk about teamwork. ?“
“I heard about Jugos Naturales through word of mouth. I decided to pay the establishment a visit. When I entered the restaurant it reminded me about the mom n pop shops aesthetic found in Mexico. Very vibrant colors and many pictures of the food they sell. The two ladies working the establishment were very kind and did not rush us when we looked over the menu. We diced to order a torta that did not disappint, an esquite with Hot Cheeto crumbs that was something new for me but definitely not a regret, a licuado de platano which was delicious, and a bionico that was extremely generous in serving. The food overall was delicious. I'd also like to add that the serving sizes are generous and their food is made to order. Will I be returning? No doubt. Thanks Jugos Naturales!“
“My visit to 88 Hotdog was an unexpectedly delightful culinary adventure, especially for someone with a penchant for creatively crafted fast food. Nestled in a bustling, crowded area where parking can be a bit of a treasure hunt, this gem stands out for its unique offerings and commendable service.Starting with the mozzarella corn dog, it was a standout in both size and flavor, offering great value for its price. The corn dog was perfectly crispy on the outside, with a gooey, stretchy mozzarella center that was both satisfying and indulgent. It’s the kind of treat that brings a smile to your face with each bite, blending the nostalgic essence of a classic corn dog with a cheesy twist that elevates it to a whole new level.The adventure didn't stop there; the yogurt drinks were a revelation in their own right. I indulged in a variety of flavors - peach, mango, blueberry, and pineapple - each one more refreshing and flavorful than the last. These drinks had a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, with the fruit flavors shining through beautifully. They were not just good; they were exceptional, adding a refreshing contrast to the savory richness of the corn dog.The service at 88 Hotdog deserves a special mention. Despite the crowded location, the employee was friendly, efficient, and quick to serve, making the overall experience even more pleasant. It's always a breath of fresh air to encounter service that is both warm and competent, especially in fast-paced environments.While the parking situation and crowded surroundings might deter some, the culinary delights and the cheerful service at 88 Hotdog make it well worth the effort. It's a small price to pay for the joy of biting into a delicious mozzarella corn dog and sipping on exquisitely flavored yogurt drinks. For anyone in the area or those willing to brave the parking challenge, 88 Hotdog is a must-visit spot that promises a satisfying and tasty experience.“
“This is by far my favorite hot dog place in California. We were recently in Los Angeles for a vacation and we tried Vegetarian hot dog along with the dirty corn and fries and it was amazing.The restaurant itself is pretty unique with graffitis and people have written notes and signed on a 1$ note and those are all pasted on the wall. Its a different experience and if you are vegetarian, they will also make meat free hot dog which me and my wife we both tried and loved it. Overall very happy with the service and the food. Definitely visiting this next time when we are in Los Angeles area.“

“I've always tried to like Korean corn dogs, but I'm too biased towards having more meat and less batter in my corn dogs. They do offer full sausages at a premium, but still feels kinda small. Still, if you're someone who likes this kind of food, you'll enjoy the selection that they offer “

“The radish was fresh, yet the rice cakes were somehow bland, and the fried chickens lacked some taste. Although all that food was good, that made me like it. Despite the slow service, I didn't know what took that long to wait for that food. Whatever, that might be a weak point. The restaurant was nice to visit.“
“We had the best time last night at dirt dogs ... we went for some drinks and dinner ... Kevin was an awesome help to us .. they made us Paloma's which were amazing .. our food was amazing and Kevin was kind enough to ask the manager Yanet to help us with a recipe for a delicious sauce.. the restaurant was clean and well run .. please go here and check it out !! Plus ask for Kevin !!! He rocks ..“
“I order from here constantly! The food scene here in LA is often underwhelming. Being from Chicago, I can attest to the fact that Juicy Js SLAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPS! I have tasted just about everything, it's all so delicious and reminds me of home. My favorites are definitely the Maxwell style polish, turkey burger and pizza puff. Always fresh, always hot!Y'all better get some of these eats!!!“
“Was getting out of planet fitness and was super super hungry. Couldn't wait till I get home since it's about an hour away. So came here to see the menu. I was more intrigued with the $7 hotdogs, so I wanted to try it. I also added Avocado since I am obsessed with Avocado. It was AMAZING!!!!! It was love in first taste lol. I had also ordered one chorizo taco with red sauce and it was the bomb!!!Hotdog (1st photo) and Chorizo taco (2nd photo)“
“Mochinut delights with its cleverly rotating menu and the fun of eating donut "bites" that make a dozen seem like just a few. The donuts themselves are a perfect mix of chewy, subtly sweet, and not at all greasy. While the corn dogs might be a bit too oily for some, it's likely just the Korean-style preparation. Be mindful of the limited parking in the K-town plaza, especially during busy times. A great spot for a treat, if you navigate the parking challenge.“
“Really satisfied with the customer service, my order came out faster than expected, ordered a bit of everything, great taste. Lastly thank you Pancho for being so thorough on your item recommendations and taking the time to get to know you.“
“Found this spot on the map, tried it out and it was a hit from the start! Lots of options, everything is cooked on spot, handmade tortillas. The aqua frescas are delicious, the food even better! 20/10 recommend! They are all very nice here as well. New lunch spot.“

“This is a long overdue review actually - I can back when it first opened and when even the name was different. It was the first korean corndog place to open in LA so hype was definitely there. My girlfriend and I finally made the trip to K-Town to visit this place and there was a bit of a line. But once you're in, getting your food isn't too bad. They have it made to order too so you will have to wait a bit always - but you get it while it's fresh! Selection is fair - we got a classic and one with cheese. Both were good and I highly recommend to get it with sugar because that's what makes it special. my girlfriend prefers the breading on the Korean corndogs because it's not as thick and bready as American ones. The sauce options are pretty decent, but the go to for me is always just ketchup & mustard. Overall it's a good staple, but I don't see this specific spot as a huge wow factor in terms of taste.“
“I love coming here since I live right around the corner, it’s just a quick walk. The food is always great, especially their birria quesatacos! However I was a bit disappointed today with my order. I ordered the “dorados combo” which comes with comes with two birria quesatacos, rice & beans, and a drink. But I didn’t get any queso in my birria tacos. It was just two birria dorados. I’ve ordered this combo many times before and never had any issues so I am a little disappointed cause I know the combo includes the quesatacos. Nonetheless, I will still be coming here, but I guess i’ll just have to remind staff.“
“The food here is really good! The ambiance is cool and the service is okay. I originally came in for two, one for me one for my boyfriend. It took very long bc they were busy but that was a good sign to us!! The pricing compare to mochinut was amazing! Mochinut charges 11$ for a corn dog that is beyond average. Here however, they charge a reasonable price for a good snack! It was so good that my stubborn boyfriend made me drive back so he can buy himself another one!! We only live 15 mins away so we will definitely be back!!“
“Beast Hot Dog deal in town. Parking is ample because it shares the Home Depot parking lot. If you shop at Home Depot, stop here for a dollar on the way is the best deal in town. They have their own tent in the parking lot.Hotdogs are hot, chips and sodas bailable. Services quick friendly, and pleasant. Definitely the place to come if you're shopping at Home Depot and get a quick bite. Will recommended, we will return.“
“Great spot downtown for some boba drinks or donuts! They have really cool donut flavors here. Store is pretty small just a few tables. I liked the ube drink with boba. The boba tasted a little weird kind of chalky. My drink came with boba which was nice.“
“Met some friends here before continuing our day in Pasadena. The only negative about our experience was the fact that there's a single restroom. Other than that, our food was great, the staff was friendly, and the overall vibe of the place was positive.“
“Today I went and I was surprised that they always have good service. But I don't know what happened today they gave me some spicy pancakes. I told them and at least I thought they would give me new ones since I obviously couldn't eat the previous ones and they didn't ignore me at all. Sosimply. I left . ??“
“I urgently needed a matcha Mochinut for my friend yesterday. This shop was able to deliver and my friend was so happy, this is what they said:“The first bite into my matcha mochinut revealed a burst of earthy and slightly bitter Matcha flavor, which was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the dough. The smoothness of the Matcha infused glaze that coated the Mochinut added an extra layer of richness to this already heavenly treat. As I savored each bite, I was transported to a world, where flavors, harmonized in perfect symphony.“Matcha Mochinut, offer not only an explosion of taste, but also provide numerous health benefits. Matcha is known for its high concentration of antioxidants, which help boost, metabolism, and promote overall well-being. Additionally, these delightful treats are gluten-free and made from natural ingredients like rice, flour and sugar, making them suitable for those with dietary restrictions.“This matcha Mochinut was undeniably delicious. The unique combination of flavors and textures created an experience that both satisfied my palate and nourished my body.“I can’t recommend a matcha Mochinut enough, whether these are enjoyed as a midday snack, or as a dessert after a meal, these delightful treats never fail to bring joy and contentment to those fortunate enough to savor their exquisite taste.”“
“AN INSTITUTION the best carne asada burrito you'll ever have. you know why? NO RICE. rice doesn't belong in a burrito.someone complained about the price. having grown up here and lived through all the gentrification and seen all the displacement of generations of families and businesses in favor of bougie trends that aren't worth a damn, i'm the FIRST person to complain about the outrageous prices of things around la. but yuca's is legit and they keep their prices low especially considering the quality and quantity of the food. i grew up walking to yucas and compared to the yuppie wannabe mexican places (ahem homestate), this is where you get your money's worth.one day i will try the cheeseburger. it was my high school boyfriend's favorite and now he has his own restaurant that regularly has a 3 hour wait (hint: spicy chicken sandwiches). people rave about it, and it regularly makes top ten burgers in la lists. but i just can't stop ordering the carne asada burrito. or the cochinita pibil tacos.anyway. i'm getting a burrito right now!viva yuca's!!“
“I got the Mozz & Potato Corndog. Personally i never like corn dog breading but I love panko bread crumbs which they used and the fried potatoes were delicious and mozzarella and such a big cheese pull. The person that took our order wasn't that nice I think she was just trying to get her work done. The stand looked really cool and colorful.“
“Jugos Naturales is the place to go if you are craving fresh squeezed juice. You can taste the quality of the fresh fruit. They have varies option and their menu has variety which is a big plus on my book since I'm always craving something new or like to try new items. The service was great, was greeted with a smile when I walked in. The place is clean and kept up. a hole in the wall but. you won't regret going and giving it a try.“
“Rating: 4.2/5 This place is right across from tastea and has somewhat good parking. I have heard of this place but never gone until now. I decided to order the reservoir hog and later ordered the t-mex sausage dog. I heard from the cashier that the reservoir hog was a popular sausage dog that people get. Personally, I did not like that specific sausage. I liked the sausage itself and everything about it EXCEPT the damn mustard they put on top. I should've asked no mustard but I wanted the unedited sausage dog. I think the mustard overpowered the taste of the entire sausage dog, although I did get slivers of the sausage taste which was good and juicy. Wouldn't get it again though. To redeem myself, I got the t-mex sausage dog and shared it among friends and god I should've went with this first. It was spicy and juicy and their slaw just balanced it all out. It wasn't overly spicy but it had enough kick for me to like it. I tasted more of the sausage and it made me enjoy the dog even more. The fries were okay, can be shared between two people and it'll be enough (enough to be content). My friends got the old town and downtown dog and both said were pretty good choices. I didn't get to explore the bar and their beer on tap but they do have happy hour on sundays after 10pm(?) and Mon-Fri happy hour(don't know the time). The lighting is nice because it isn't overly bright but its not so dark where I can't see. Would I go here again for 11 dollar hot dogs? Probably! I do enjoy their sausage dogs so that's definitely a plus in my books since some places don't do that.“
“Wow such an amazing flavor we tried the flamin hot Cheetos ones holy flavor buds!!!! We were beyond amazed on this new flavor we tried today. Definitely definitely going back soon!! And my youngest loved the churro donut!! We will be back!!! ?? “
“I love to go here for the raspados de ciruela 10/10. I never tried anything else until today. I got the tostilocos and idk what happened. They don't have anything on them. Maybe it was a miscommunication. They just have a bit of chamoy, no chile and no limon. I will ask next time I go.“
“Tacos are tiny (like two bites), but so delicious!! Cash only. Accepted Zelle for us. We got 2 tacos, burrito, cebolla/jalapeño (so delicious), piña juice for $10. Love that this place is still affordable. Ambiance? They park at a car wash so there is tons of parking options at night. There is also ample street parking. The cashier was very friendly and accommodating. Service was fast. I thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely return.“
“Review #575 None Elite SquadSo its a Sunday and if you want to Snack on something thats not the Traditional at Plaza Mexico then try Elotes Perrones.I have to Start by saying I went there for a Elote but just Kept seeing oversized Mozzarella Sticks on a Stick and decided to go in that direction instead.We got the #7 which was a Pizza on a fried Mozzarella stick. I have to say it was good.. I liked it... it was different..it was cheesier than a regular Mozzarella Stick that you get anywhere but I would have preferred for the stick to be filled and not half filled... its like you're only getting Half of what you're paying for.. thats my opinion but it was still flavorful and good. The customer Service was good. Again, I think it looks like a Ice Cream Shop but its a Elotes place Dominated by the Mozzarella Big Stick. The place was Clean, to find Parking on a Sunday its a Mess.I give it 3.7 and a half and if round it off its a 4“
“I really enjoy getting a burger from Five Guys because they consistently serve a solid product with a nice variety of condiments and add-ons. I especially appreciate the fact they don't charge extra for mushrooms. The only thing that disappointed me this visit was the reduction in the quantity of fries they gave. I always looked forward to the overflow of delicious fries that would be found at the bottom of the bag. Not this time. A wave of sadness came over me at this sight. I can only hope this is not a harbinger of things to come.Service has always been good. The staff have been pretty cool and I've never had any issues at any of their locations. The location is conveniently located off Redondo Beach Blvd and parking is plentiful. There is a Starbucks located a short walk away in case you desire a different beverage than what Five Guys offers and a decent donut shop (Rainbow Donuts) in case you need a sweet treat to wrap up your meal. In closing, BRING BACK THE OVERFLOWING FRIES! If I wanted an undersized, overpriced (but yummy) order of fries, I could go to Mickey D's down the street. Step it up guys. I believe in you. Like Rob Schneider says, " You can DO IT! "“
“Great experience, quick and efficient staff. Waited shortly for fresh made food. Will return to this location.Kid-friendliness: Kids love the small, fulfilling bites and they've got the best chocolate dipped cones.Parking: Parking lot has a few spots but the drive-thru is fairly quick.“
“Dog Haus is one of Pasadena's very best burger and dog restaurants. Delicious fresh food prepared in an open kitchen right in front of you. Thet serve a variety of dogs and sausages, burgers, sliders, great sides, and milkshakes. They also have beer and ale available. Super friendly staff, the restaurant is always clean and inviting. Highly recommended.“

“In my attempt to dine at a different fast food chain, I wound up happening onto this little gem and went out on a limb to try something new, in the name of breakfast. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, with everything on it, minus the pickle, and it was sensational. Like a chilli cheese hot dog, alongside a breakfast sanwhich, between an English muffin. It was gone in 3 bites, I highly recommend you try it for yourself if you happen onto a Tommy's.“
“Imma keep it short and sweet! New year's day 2024, right after attending the Rose Parade in Pasadena, we wanted a quick bite... Decided to stop off at Shake Shack for our first meal of the new year! Service was quick and pleasant. The cashier made a mistake on our order and promptly corrected it and issued a refund before we even realized it. The ambiance was clean, tidy and uncluttered. There are some tables indoors, but on a nice SoCal day, why not sit outside where there were more seating options. They also have 3 single stall restrooms in the rear. The food, always fresh and consistent. I absolutely love the shroom to top my burger. So yum! Thanks Shake Shack Silverlake, imma fan! Review #001 for 2024“
“Considering the price I rounded up to a 4Are there better burger spots? (Maybe check out my HiHo Cheeseburger Review) But can you top an old school thousand island all over your face spot, NO!The burger was cooked nicely with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and pickles The fries (frozen btw) were decent , not knock your socks off fries but decent But the service was top notch, fast and with that "we'll see you again" attitude Definitely a local spot that does things well and is an asset to the community“
“I love A1burgers soooo fresh and so good. The service is okay you have to write your order or you can say it now. But i love the burgers it's taste homemade. Reason for 4 star they sometimes yell and you can't understand but very good burgers!“
“3 tacos with rice and beans for $10, you can't beat that price. The carne asada is good and I love all the toppings they offer. Be warned, the tacos are spicy here. I went with mild and that was the perfect amount of spice for me. I loved the extra toppings such as pickled onions, radishes, and jalapeños. Rice and beans were ok, not my favorite, but still Enjoyable“
“Okay so I been coming here since they opened YEARS AGO!!!! This place is like a Diamond in the rough. The menu is epic! I get the family pack. (Turkey) THEY HAVE BEEF (hamburger) I can tell you the meat prepared is very very fresh. He seasons his hamburger meat to perfection and has never failed me over the YEARS! The Turkey tacos FKYN fantastic! He has a lemonade he makes from scratch too!! U gotta just stop reading and order your food. #GOFORIT“
“Ambiance: Typical restaurant vibes, I usually opt for the drive thru, but the inside does have a lot of seating both inside and out.Service: Though I'm usually in the drive thru, there is always a wait. I've never been able to get in and out like most places. But the food is always hot.Food: I first tried chilaquiles here, and I've been in love with them ever since. The red sauce is my favorite. The plate is always heavy, and I'm always full after I've had them. It's not spicy but rich with flavor. I always ask for just one egg since I'm not a big fan, but they almost never listen.“
“Food is good. Boba more like less authentic. Everything good just you make sure they don't go wrong on your order. My Boba had a peace of plastic. Hopefully they get better.Parking: It's always almost full because of subway or Dennys but pretty sure you'll find parking .Kid-friendliness: A small place.“
