“Excellent food!!! Great service and we observed lots of take-away traffic“

“We place an order for chicharon with queso pupusas, cheese quesadilla, and chicken taco dorado. Everything about the cuisine was freshly made and excellent! The chicken tacos dorados were so delicious that we wanted to keep ordering them.“

“We tried the Cheeseburger with grilled onions and fries and O.M.G. I couldn’t finish mine. It’s a huge burger and a good amount of fries for not a lot of money. We used to drive all the way to L.A. for the best burgers NOT ANYMORE!!!!! The prices are AWESOME and the service is AWESOME. Sorry I gotta go we’re on our way back to Bob’s, it’s that once every two - three months guilty pleasure. 🥰🤣🥰🤣“

“Very special place. The lady who answered the phone made me feel like I was calling my mom to tell her I was hungry, she made me feel so happy to order. The customer service is top tier and service and food is even better. So happy I found this gem today while searching for lunch.“

“The TJ Barria Tacos are D'lish! I love the authentic flair, every bite is packed with flavor! You just can't go wrong with any item. People you gotta try this place. And their Miches fantastic! Yumm'O ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Food is excellent! Is it authentic Italian? Nope! But American Italian and whatever else they want it to be and they are excellent at it! The duo could have been owners since they originally opened when I was just a child and I'm 50 years old now! This husband and wife are such good people! You will always enjoy eating from here because of the excellent customer service you receive! Garlic butter knots are my fave!“

“I’ve been going to 3 brothers since high school and that’s almost 17yrs ago. I’ve since moved out of state back in 2020 but every time I get back to Cali I always have to stop by. Their sweet and sour chicken dinner is always my go to and never disappoints. It’s also nice that the owner still remembers me.“

“While on work trips to Southern California I often use a restaurant delivery service called LA Bites. On a recent trip I ordered some Thai food from Smile Thai and was pleasantly surprised. The delivery to my hotel was quick and the food hot, fresh and delicious. The servings were quite large and I had more than enough for 3 meals. I don't know about the service in the restaurant itself but certainly can attest to the fact that their to go food was outstanding. I will definitely order from them again.“

“It was delicious ?? The place was quiet and a bit intimidating but if you check out their website and look over their menu I don't believe you'll be disappointed. The food is a good size portion for the price. I ordered the chicken with tonkatsu. I was hungry and this hit the spot. I think they'd do well if it was a drive thru.“

“Delicious, top notch flavor! This is probably the best Thai food I've ever had. My partner and I are slowly working our way through the menu and so far we've had: Pad Kee Mao, Tom Kha chicken soup, Tom Yum chicken soup, Kaprao, Green Curry with chicken, and the mango sticky rice.

I think my favorite has been the Tom Kha soup. The coconut and lime base is such an addictive flavor profile and I was thinking about it for days afterwards.

I hope they can maintain their quality with the scheduled reopening in 2026!“

“Muy sabrosos los tacos,100% recomendados!“

“Absolutely great! The food reminded me of my family’s cooking — authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. No other place even comes close. Every bite tasted like home, from the perfectly seasoned dishes to the warm, comforting atmosphere. This restaurant deserves way more attention and should honestly be featured on the Food Network. If you’re looking for real Mexican food that leaves you craving more, this is the spot. Must try!“

“Fine Wok in Harbor City is a total neighborhood gem. The black pepper beef with fried rice was super flavorful, the salt and pepper pork had the perfect crunch, and the egg drop soup hit the spot. The husband-and-wife team running the place are so friendly and make you feel right at home. Portions are big, prices are fair, and everything tastes fresh. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.“

“amazing fresh fruit. large portions for cheap but amazing quality.“

“Right on the corner of Western and PCH, good location to stop by on the way somewhere!
Very clean, it was quiet, the staff was nice, the food was hot!
Love that they have a bathroom. Parking right in front, as You can see it’s in a little corner plaza, w other businesses.
They were pretty fast, no complaints from me, loved the fashionable clean decor.“

“Delicious food and plenty of seats. Not too expensive. They messed up my order one day but they allowed me to return it and they prepared a brand new plate free of charge, no questions asked.

Update (09/04/2024
Prices at this restaurant have gone way up and now they ask for tip when you pay..... it's self serve type of restaurant!! .. so i don't like that.“
