“I cannot say enough of the five star service Ernesto provided. We were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the airport. It was 10 mins late, then 15 mins late. I asked the gentleman at the front desk to inquire but he was not helpful at all. Just said he will be there. I expressed my concern that we had an international flight to catch. I was so frustrated by this front desk man's customer service I told my husband we should call an Uber. Meanwhile we already paid for the hotel shuttle. Ernesto overheard my frustration. Called the bus to find out it wouldn't be coming there was an issue. He refunded us for our shuttle we paid for and also paid for our Uber. It was Four Seasons customer service, over and beyond exceeded our expectations! You should be so lucky to have a person like Ernesto. The other gentleman needs to go back to learning customer service skills and hospitality! Go Ernesto!“
“This is a 5+++, as you would be hard-pressed to find a more creative, flavorful and truly life-changing pasta meal than at Cento. The Spicy Pomodoro Pasta may be the singularly most delicious pasta dish on earth. The lamb meatballs… to die for. The grilled octopus, OMG. Pasta will never be the same for you. The beet spaghetti? Just ask Luca… it becomes part of you. Highly recommended.“
“Well it lived up to the hype. From one chef to another..bravovery well executed. Took a little long to get my food, and I would want a little more sauce and ramen and..ok fish too for the $48 it costs...but that sauce was amazing...some spicy fish tomato sauce or something whatever it was it was bomb. The desserts look tempting...Definitely some of the best food I've had for a while. I'll be back for sure..hopefully with a group so I can taste all their dishes.“
“Best upscale Filipino food on the Sunset strip!Will definitely be back.Try the lechon kawali and chicken skins! OMG! So heavenly!Our server was great and very sweet and seemed to genuinely care that our experience is nothing short of superb!“
“It was our 1st time there. Smaller than it looks in pics so I'd say it's a quaint place. Only a couple beer choices but decent amount of wine choices. The food is shareable which I prefer. The salads were sooo good! The 2 pizzas were sooo tasty. The bread with butter is light & airy. Sauces for the pizza crusts were a bonus.Parking: Next door lot is $25 for about 2 hours“
“Hidden gem. Stopped by a bit early on a Friday night with my wife and kiddo and we had a fantastic experience. Cocktails were tasty, food was delicious, service was excellent, and the vibe was super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend the roasted cauliflower, tuna bruschetta, farmer's cheese, the duck special if they have it, and any one of their fantastic (healthy pours) wines on tap. Can't wait to come back!“
“I'm looking forward to my next stop at MB Post. I had a reservation for 3 at 7:15 on a Saturday night. We arrived a little early, checked in and waited at the bar for our table. The bar was crowded and the staff busy but our drink order was taken quickly. Cocktails were delicious, #Blessed will be my go-to here. It took a bit longer to get our drinks than we had anticipated. We waited for our table about 20 minutes beyond the time of our reservation and we had to circle back to the host to inquire how much longer before we would be seated. Our table was in the corner next to the kitchen and a service nook, loud and busy; next time I'll make a note to request a table away from the kitchen. It's a boisterous restaurant and the corner amplified the energy. We ordered the carrots, gnocchi, green beans and biscuits---all were incredibly delicious with the green beans being our favorite. Our server was prompt, courteous, food arrived without a long delay. We enjoyed Lola cab sauv with dinner. I gave the 4 stars for the service at the bar our need to check on our table. Overall a great experience and I will certainly be back.“
“Amazing restaurant with class and vibe. The food and drinks were so good. I would definitely come back here. In addition they have live jazz on Wednesdays and other nights. This is a a great place to come and chill. The chicken liver mousse is a must with some bread.Vegetarian options: Mushrooms were awesomeParking: Park in the back lot is free“
“Bit of a pricey spot, but so worth it! Got the intestine hotpot, gyoza stuffed wings, and oysters. Hotpot comes only with intestine, cabbage, chives, and noodles, so we ended up adding tofu pork meat. Such a good choice for a cold night. Fattiness of intestines was umami and not overwhelming, especially when paired with the yuzu kosho. Noodles were thick and the perfect texture. Wings taste exactly what the sound like and had a nice grilled flavor. Oysters were very fresh and refreshing.“
“Tapas spot on Main Street. Came here for a Valentine’s dinner and they had live music out in the heated patio. Service was especially slow (but our waiter was nice), but the bright side is that you can have an especially leisurely meal. Reservations can be made online in advance. We ordered the mushroom croquettes, Catalan chicken, tortilla española, jamon wrapped dates, and mac and cheese with bacon. The dishes were good but the best were the dates and the mad and cheese. The tortilla española came with a salsa and an aioli on the side but the aioli did taste sour (I think one of the ingredients used was past its shelf life). Other than that, it’s a good spot for an intimate dinner or date night.“
“Been to many locations for their infamous ramen? including the 'Shin Zen Gumi to go' d just down the street from this location.Me, the wifey, & daughter came here because we usually like to go to the 'Jedaya' Japanese restaurant which is in the same plaza. There was a 45 minute wait on a Sunday evening and we didn't want to wait.Since Shin Zen Gumi was just a short walk away, we decided to come here.We didn't realize that it was based on Yakitori grilled styled Japanese and therefore I wasn't gonna be able to get any tempura like I normally would, however a change in pace would be just as fine.We studied the menu for a few minutes and were easily enticed to order some yakitori meats ? which was surprisingly delicious with a garlic dipping sauce, couple bowls of Shio ramen which was delicious for that style of ramen they didn't have tonkatsu style available , some grilled gyoza ? for our daughter, karaage which also was delicious and fried to perfection , and finally I ordered a plate of their garlic shrimp ? fries?.Now I normally do not ever get fries at a Japanese restaurant however I randomly chose this item and didn't regret it one bit. The shrimp were tantalizingly grilled to perfection with its own unique flavor accompanied with their own amazing sauce They drizzled the fries which were straw style and just perfect with the way they served them up.Last but not least a large Sprite, Kirin Ichiban Bottled Beer, and some water to wash it down.The place was crazy busy, however the staff made you feel at home with the way they shout their welcoming and departing greetings.The restaurant was clean, organized, and outstanding service which made our first time experience an awesome one. I give it a 5 star rating for their excellent dining experience ?We'll definitely come back here for more of their Yakitori style cuisine!Awesome job Shin-Zen-Gumi ?Parking: There is a huge parking lot that is free, however spaces may vary during dinner and peak hours.“
“I love the concept of this restaurant and the service was spot on great! We sampled several dishes from the menu and I can highly recommend the yummy ribs, the swiss chard, and the asparagus was super (done with a tangerine sauce that was amazing)! The deviled egg was delightful as well as the tomato puree on toasts, a nice palette cleanser...And the goat milk flan was a desert winner!! I will say a few dishes just weren't up to par - the skewered calamari was underwhelming, not well spiced and rather bland, and the garling shrimp was overwhelming with too much garlic (and we were all garlic lovers). I was glad we asked for a quiet table, tucked up in the corner of the upstairs area (we had a double birthday dinner), because the noise level in general was very high. I recommend seating up on the balcony if possible. All in all, however, it was a great experience and we'll certainly go back and sample some more dishes from this neighborhood gem.“
“Hi Ruthie! Here's a 5-star review for your favorite Italian restaurant: I absolutely love dining at Nando! The authentic Italian food transports me right back to Italy with every bite. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming everytime we dine there. I highly recommend trying their gnocchi- it's my favorite item on the menu. Local insider tip - the family style lasagna for takeout is absolutely delicious and incredibly reasonably priced!“
“I can only speak from a food pick up perspective, but for the affordable price point it's Soo good! definitely recommend their California roll, salmon skin and Philadelphia roll! We typically get four roll and two miso soups which is just perfect for us and for about ~$50 for a whole meal for two not bad at all! definitely will eat in next opportunity“
“I live 5 minutes from this restaurant but have never given it a shot. I took my girlfriend here and we were pleasantly surprised with the quick service, the quality of the food, and the friendliness of the staff. I had the filet and my girlfriend had the salmon and both were very good. We will be back.“
“This place is about as legit as it gets for me. I spent a bit of time in Japan lusting over the food and I was skeptical I could find the same attention to detail in the US but here it is (at least to my western taste buds). Every dish has character. It can get busy so don't expect walk ins to always work out, there is bar seating too if you want to come as a single and be comfortable. The servers are great as well. About 4 items is a full meal.“
“A great snack restaurant! If you come before 8 o'clock, it's happy hour, so you can enjoy more value for money than other K-Town bars :)However, if you go when there are too many people and it is noisy, your voice may be heard :) Good luck with your guessing game :)“
“Great spot! I came here 10 years ago, and was delighted to find out it is still open. Same charm: dark wood, sweeping curtains, smokey cocktails, red leather couches, jazz music. We had the chicken bites, a glass of cab sauv, and one of the lychee cocktails. Everything was good but the lychee wasn't overwhelmingly good- I will probably switch to a whiskey based drink next time. The chicken was a perfect small bite to pair with drinks. Everyone there seemed to be a pair: first dates, deep conversations, etc. There are tables in the main room, couches in the fireplace room, and a long bar.“
“We came here on Valentine's Day to celebrate and ordered the pork chop which was deliciously flavorful and seasoned well. My partner loved the lobster risotto although we wish the portioning on the risotto was a bit more and less asparagus puree. The peach cobbler was a perfect finisher! The manager was very attentive and so was a runner which immediately brought me a new utensil once my entree arrived. Would highly recommend the chicken empanadas and our server made a suggestion for the crispy rice which was delicious and comes in generous portions of 4.“
“This is a Spanish meat market and deli. They have amazing hams and cheeses, everything one needs to make paella, wine, olives, etc. They also have a small menu. The two sandwiches on it are amazing. The imported Serrano ham and Iberico ham sandwiches are made on crusty bread that is heated to order. The people who work here are very pleasant and they are busy. They are primary a Spanish food distributer. But their sandwiches are great. It has a very small market vibe. It's not fancy. But it's very good.“
“The food was soooo good! And it was prepared so fast. Although it wasn't that busy, and the best part was their home made sake! I would come back to this place just for the sake alone! The sushi and sashimi are all so good too! Parking is convenient as well.“
“I'm reluctant to write this review because I don't want anyone else to know about how cool Muso Style is. If you're Japanese, you'll love this place because it tries to replicate the smaller bars in Japan with it's food selection, cocktails, service, and ambience. It's great for small groups of up to 4 or dates, where you want as few people around you as possible, but also right next to you. I don't think they can fit more than 20 people in there and if they did, it would be too crowded. So keep this a secret!“

“I love this restaurant and have been a fan since it offered free bento boxes with a stay at the New Gardena Hotel which is adjacent. The food is flavorful: the bacon fried rice DOES NOT MISS! Neither does the Beef Spareribs, nor grilled sliced pork with ginger. Love the Macaroni/Potato Salad. Flavorful food. Quaint hidden gem in Gardena.“
“Came here on a Friday night for a girls dinner with some friends. Food was excellent!! Loved everything we got. Drinks were also very good - I recommend the espresso martini but the wine I ordered was also fantastic. Service was not slow but definitely drawn out so I’d plan on taking your time which we were happy to do! Our server was wonderful. Overall great experience and would come back again.“
“Consistent, great food, feels delicious, healthy and nourishing. Menu is pretty small, which means to me that they do what they do well and dont have to wow you with quantity and diversity. Even though it's a modest menu, the choices are great. All around one of my favorites. Also, service is always great.“
“Absolutely my favorite restaurant! I adore the fact that it's never overcrowded, providing a sense of privacy. Nestled in a stunning location with an enchanting view of boats, it's a truly beautiful place. The food is exceptionally delicious, and the overall atmosphere is simply fantastic.“
“Very cozy, personal Japanese restaurant that has a wide menu selection and many extras, house specials, that are listed on the walls only... Fried rice, Kara age chicken, mapo tofu on rice, big huge bowls of ramen ?, most everything I have tried so far is ?Vegetarian options: You can always ask them about whether they use strictly vegetarian broths for certain dishes, if yes, then just add more vegetables, or withholding the meat for certain dishes may be all that's needed...Wheelchair accessibility: A bit difficult, as it is a small place ...there are two or three tables outside though, for those who really want to try it...“

“It was really delicious ? I wasn't expecting much from the shrimp, but the firmness of the shrimp and the flavor of the kelp exceeded my expectations! ! Everything was wonderful. The tongue was so soft and delicious. Even the salad dressing was delicious. The price shouldn't be compared to Japan, but it's worth it!March 2024For the first time in 3 years? I still had delicious yakitori. If you go with 5 people, is it already 18%? Please be careful as the chip was charged ?“
“Definitely a good spot to hang out and have drinks with friends. The servers were really nice. The only problem for me was the popcorn shrimps were pretty disappointing, there were more flour then the actual shrimps. I love shrimps so I was pretty disappointed about it. Overall of that, everything else was amazing. I would definitely go back.“
“Very solid and reasonable. Service was really good. We had the edamame, which was fine; served cold, I'm good hot or cold, but thought I'd flag that in case you cared. We had the salted shrimp, which were tasty tiny bite size shrimps. Small enough to eat the shells. Then I had the breaded fish with rice. Nice amount of food, typical salad with typical thousand island type dressing. Lots of warm and well cooked fish with a decent set of sauces.“

“While the ramen is quite good, try their other non-ramen offerings. Katsu curry rice is very good here (katsu pork was prepared perfectly and curry flavorful) as well as their gyudon (beef over rice). Service as fast, friendly and attentive and the dining area was very clean. Value for the meal is excellent especially for West LA! Cannot recommend enough!“
“Amazing diverse Mexican cuisine. Everyone can find something for him/herself. The food is fresh, full of flavor, and the prices are reasonable. I recommend Tacos Tu Mądre and I will definitely come back!!!They also have a lot of choice for vegans!“
