“We had a wonderful time. We kicked off my hubby's birthday with great food, wonderful vibes and incredible service!! My husband could not stop raving about the eggs! We literally came back for the biscuits. I hate that I don't remember our waitresses name because she was so sweet and attentive. She was also kind enough to bring us a complimentary round of champs and mimosas!! This is our second time coming in and the service is not only consistent, it keeps getting better!“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“Lot of great things to say about this place! Just walking up to the restaurant is an experience in of itself with all the bright and vibrant colors coupled with great lighting and then the flavors starting hitting the nose to let you know you're in the right spot and the nose doesn't lie...it WAS the right spot. Ordered the Coconut Limeade which was STUPID GOOD, the Oxtail & Peppers Patty and the Honey Jerk Chicken comb which I subbed one side for the tostones and that was the best of presents I could've gave to myself because they were crazy delicious and also reminded me of an ex which twas a whole OTHER experience in of itself. Everything was seasoned well and each item complemented the other but and yes, buuut since we're in Hollywood, the starlet of this whole show, the chicken, wasn't all the way ready for the stage...the lower half had a mushy consistency while the upper thigh was just fine; it was strange and really bummed me out because it was close to a $50 takeout dinner and was almost 5 stars. Anywho, stuff happens but it took the motivation of me being a returning customer althoooough if I stare at the roti long enough, that could choice could very well change who knows. Stay up!“

“One of the most iconic spots in Koreatown!
The soup arrives with customizable add-ins like green onions, red pepper paste, and minced garlic, letting you tweak the savory depth to perfection. Sides of banchan (kimchi, pickled radish) keep the table lively and flavorful.“

“the service was amazing, i went in november for a school field trip and nick was such an amazing server. he had such a good humor and he was very sweet! i reccomended coming to this place since there food is so good plus there appetizers are to die for. this location is the best if you want good service and food!“

“Sweet mom and pop kitchen for pickup and weekend dine in on their covered patio. The food is OUTSTANDING. Homemade comfort food and desserts with delicious and creative flavor profiles. The breakfast burrito is one of the best I’ve had in LA. Would go every day if I could. Took my kids and they gave us some free books with our meal! Support local!“

“Such a cute little space with a great ethical commitment and excellent food! I brought my partner here to grab a quick lunch to go. We each got a banh mi (I got the lemongrass chicken, no mayo, and they got the pork) and a sparkling limeade. The person who took our order was super friendly and the food came out fast. We were both impressed by just how big the sandwiches were and how much protein was on them! And the limeade was incredible - just slightly sparkling with a hint of saltiness.“

“The food at Star of India is excellent. They have a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and standard items, all worth trying. The service is prompt and the staff are friendly and helpful.“

“Honestly… no notes

Hidden gem in busy ktown
The sides are generous and delicious
The mains are flavorful and hearty
What more could you ask for

I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten takeout here. Favorites include kimchi fried rice, kimchi stew, and their fishes, but all of them are hits

Highly recommend!“

“The food is good, but the management and the staff are out of this world. Keith, Mel, and the rest of the establishment thank you. Dennis and Stacey will definitely be back.“

“Cozy cafe inside the Delphi building. It is open to guests and visitors alike. I tried their Black Dalia which are 2 French toast with whipped butter and raspberries. It is very sweet and the French toast itself is very fluffy and soft. They gave me a seat 30 mins before they close which is nice. Great place for breakfast.“

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.“

“We have been meaning to try Hail Mary for awhile now and finally ordered online for pickup. The food was ready fast. It was delicious and packaged well for the ride home. The gentleman that greeted us made sure the order was complete prior to me leaving. We’ll be back!“

“Highly recommend! The food, wine list, atmosphere, service, music, and lighting are all spot on. The food is so delicious and satisfying and it makes it even better that the ingredients are all top quality so you can feel really good about what you’re eating. Voodoo vin never disappoints and we will keep coming back!“

“After seeing a suggestion in a FB group, decided to give this place a try at around 3pm on a Sunday. The lady that rang me up had a welcoming personality and another lady delivered it with a beautiful smile! The menu options are affordable. the food was so fresh and the restaurant was very clean! My day started out ho hum, but with the amazing friendly service and great food, it made my day I left with my tummy and heart happy. This will probably be my new Sunday spot Appreciate Y'ALL!“

“Only place in ktown with games where you can bet drinks against other tables, which might not sound like much but it’s another thing to do at the table while drinking. They have 50% off soju and beer Sunday-Wednesday before 10pm if you’re looking for a more casual chill time, weekends could get packed“

“Very great food and good service. Good decor and there is lots of parking outside. Only downside is the menu is only in Korean but just use google translate.

I like how peaceful it is. It gave me the time and quiet to finally think about the social economic state of the world right now. Food is fire.“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“This little place is Best Thai food in Los Angeles. It’s a definitely a hidden gem. My wife and I just discovered this spot and we are loving it. We ordered chicken satay, vegetable rolls, basil fried shrimp and drunken noodles with shrimp. Everything delicious best and very fresh . They do have parking behind the restaurant. Owner name is Two and she is great she is also the Chef.
This is our go to spot for Thai food.“

“I’ve been 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Service and food is fantastic! Highly recommend Smitty’s Grill.“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I’m a return customer. Love the shrimp fried rice, beef low mein, and donuts. My girlfriend loves the chicken teriyaki. The donuts melt in your mouth and the food is always hot and fresh. Definitely recommend. Terrific customer service too! The woman at the front is always so sweet. Don’t sleep on on Twin Castle.“

“🍖 Soy-Braised Beef Ribs
Big bowl with 4–5 huge ribs, super flavorful. Braised until fall-off-the-bone tender — honestly, you barely need to chew. Great portion for a family of three, and only $30.

🍲 Beef & Offal Soup with Noodles
Very generous with the beef. Rich, comforting broth that’s not too salty. Comes with noodles and is super warming — kids loved this one.

🥣 Hangover Soup
Went for the spicy version. Deep, comforting flavor, with tender pork. Very warming.

❤️ Most soups are just a little over $10 and come with rice and side dishes.

🦐 Marinated Raw Shrimp
A pleasant surprise — fresh, sweet, slightly reminiscent of Ningbo-style shrimp. Only $8.

✨ Nothing fancy, just solid, home-style dishes.
✨ Great value for money.“

“The sound at The Mint is fantastic and there’s always a cool vibe from the crowd. It’s a wide room so you can see well from anywhere. Food is very good (I LOVE the cheesesteak sandwich and shrimp salad) and great drinks. So many popular musicians got their start there and you never know who’ll pop up on stage or in the audience. Really fun! Highly recommend 😄“

“Absolutely delicious Indian cuisine. I dined in with the lamb tandoori tikkha with saag paneer, basmati rice, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was fresh and on point. The waitress was friendly and the ambience was clean with relaxing jazz piano playing. Highly recommended!“

“Came here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. And ordering was very easy since you do it through a QR code but you can also ask for a menu and order that way as well. Food came within 10 to 15 minutes and everything was very hot and fresh. The meat pies were really hot and filled with yummy juices. The scallion pancakes were very very yummy. I highly recommend getting the cucumbers. Service was decent but don't be expecting conversations from these ladies. They bring you your food and that's about it. I can't wait to come back and the prices are so worth it.“

“What a hidden gem! This small quaint restaurant delivered some of the best food we had while visiting Pasadena. The flavors in the sauce (basil, olive oil and something else yummy) that surrounded the burrata were absolutely delicious! The lamb/beef/pork bolognese sauce on the spaghetti as well as the duck was excellent. Portions are definitely generous and shareable. Our only regret is we didn’t save room for dessert! Despite being there during the Rose Bowl with lots of people, the service was excellent! So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant via Resy, we’ve saved it in case we come to Pasadena again!! Bravo!!!“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“Picked up a box of 6 empanadas to bring home, and another time i stopped by on impluse while driving by with my wife and we sat down on their outdoor tables by the sidewalk and had some coffee and 2 breakfast empanadas each.

I personally loved their pepperoni pizza empanada, theres alot of different kinds of flavors to try beyond the standard beef/chicken/pork fillings a traditional bakery would have.

Its a good place to know about. Their empanadas might be the perfect snack your craving that day, or you need to quickly get something like Porto's, but without the huge crowd and line.“

“Oh yes. My wife and I have passed this place many times when visiting the adjacent Flower market in DTLA - and it was always busy. After we had all our flowery-needs yesterday I asked my wife to Yelp "best breakfast in DTLA" and it popped up - the Poppy & Rose - and we were standing in front of it. I must say two things: I did not find the ambiance too appealing and they you could hear through the open door it was extremely loud. Still, we gave it a try - and I can tell you: it was delicious. Our server - one you would describe as the typical California surfer boy - was extremely charming - so despite the so-so ambiance (the vibe of this place was great though) and the noise we will definitely go again. Would we make a 30+ min detour just to eat here (mandatory in my rating scheme to achieve five out five): again, oh yes!“

“Main Chick Hot Chicken in Pasadena is 🔥 🔥 🔥 meaning 😋 Always fresh and thier chicken taste tasty & crisp! Only drawback is that this particular Nain Chick don't have the seating so either you order togo, uses ubereats or the Doordash! Whichever, their food was amazing & you will be happy!“

“Great experience! Food was delicious - ordered soy marinated crab, spicy crab, cockle bibimbap, and the pork belly kimchi pancake.
There was only 1 server today and he was doing the most bussing and serving all the tables with a positive attitude. I’ve never seen someone work so hard without rest, maintain composure, and treat customers with so much respect.
He deserves a raise!!!“

“tacos vergas los tavos vergas“

“😋👍good food .and friendly staff“

“Food was amazing!!!! My partner and I ordered the short rib soup and the spicy beef with vegetable soup. We inhaled everything including the sides, soju, and beers.

A definite recommendation for a meal to feed your soul.

A must try for all who are curious.“

“super friendly staff and awesome manager who didn't blink an eye and replaced my mom and aunts order to accommodate their health conditions. bomb food and and super fast serve time. will be back again Special shout out to Damont for being an awesome manager!“

“Great dinning place to eat and the music So lovable ❤️“

“The best chicken sandwich, It was delicious. I would start on the mild side and work my way up because some of the flavors can be very spicy if you’re not prepared. Other than that, everything was delicious and I would definitely recommend this place as the best chicken sandwich in Victorville .“

“We absolutely loveee Perfect Donuts, not only are the donuts freshly made but their boba is also fresh. I worked at a boba shop and I can tell very easily when the boba has been out for too long. There is a young woman who always helps us and she is the sweetest person ever, always goes out of her way to make us feel welcomed. My sons both like white glazed with colorful sprinkles and today they were sold out; this amazing woman grabbed two plains and made them for them without us having to ask ! Not only that, she even made sure they were both just the way they like them without me even mentioning! I absolutely love this place and will continue to come. They also have fresh pressed juices and a lot more stuff that we will definitely be trying. 😄😄“

“I saw a Groupon for Lobos Truck the other day and I had to buy it. It was $13 for 2 entrees and 2 drinks! What a steal! They stop by in front of my work building every now and then so it was pretty convenient for me to check them out.The Chinook: 1/3 lb. American-Kobe beef burger with garlic aioli, cheddar, lettuce, and tomato on a fresh Brioche bun. The burger was nothing special - just average. It was cooked medium rare as requested and it was well seasoned.OG Wachos: With everything. What are Wachos you ask? Waffle Fries + Nacho Toppings = Wachos. Came with Avocado, Cheese, Onions, and much more. It was amazing. The waffle fries were crisp and flavorful and it went well with all the toppings. I wish there was some heat to it though!“

“(Translated by Google) Great service! The food is very well prepared / Great Service! Food is very well cooked and the tamales are delicious.(Original)Buen Servicio! La comida esta muy bien preparada./ Great Service! Food is very well cooked and the tamales are delicious.“

“There are four restaurants that share this space: Sumac, Habibi Burger, Saucy Greens, and Soupchu. Each is great.

Saucy Greens makes delicious salads. This place is great for vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores. The sumac vinaigrette on the falafel salad is refreshing. There are no bad choices on the menu.“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“So so so yummy. Please come to SF!“

“Good food fast service. Bronzed Aussi meat pies were ok. Beef was the best I would get that again and eat 10 , lamb was good . , a little heavy on the rosemary...I can still taste it 30 min. later , same for the sausage . The chicken musroom and bacon was bland.“

“is very good in the best restaurant it made me feel like I was at my own kitchen“

“I ordered chicken, pork cutlet, and chewy noodles from the Dining LA menu. Like a combo, rose pasta came out, along with sikhye and soup. The pork cutlet was a bit smaller than usual. The chewy noodles weren't seasoned well, so I ordered more separately and mixed them together. I like Naseong pork cutlet.“
