“Everything at Chinois is perfect every time . It is timeless with Owners, Bella and all the staff. The old favorite dishes never disappoint and new flavors to explore. I have been a fan since the beginning and as locals we come regularly and for many occasions. Well Done ?“
“The table was dirty when we first got the seats… and I expected a good quality of the meat but it wasn’t..and my dishes came out really late, i can tell they unfroze the meat in the oven.. and the ban can was so salty…i know it’s cheaper compared to other Korean restaurants, but I would rather pay more and get better “
“Talk about your happy medium! Venice is full of the fancy and the pretentious and the chains and divey street vendors but here is an unassuming place where you can get a good beer tasty glass of wine and some fine food for some of the best prices anywhere west of the 405. Actually decent alfresco seating on the north side on a neighborhood side street off of Lincoln. Get a sandwich and a fry and have a beer and don't put a hole in your pocket. Order at the counter and they bring it out. Casual fast friendly and good unassuming food. Love this place“
“Been going here with my little siblings for a few years now. Their ramen is delicious and never disappoints, always finishing the last drop!!Their waiters are sweet and great service. I would go here from time to time and it's still good as always!!“
“It's a comfortable place where you can enjoy beer and various snacks with friends.Parking is not easy on Friday nights. However, they provide validation, so parking is available at a low price.The owner is friendly, and if you come before busy hours, you'll receive excellent service.“
“Came here to try out their five course Valentine's Day dinner and it was AMAZING! The food is made with love. Every dish was neatly made like it was a work of art. The drinks were also out of this world. I had the rack of lamb and it was cooked to perfection. The service was probably one of the best experiences of my life because the atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly. I'd love to come back here next year and experience the food all over again!“

“Amazing selection and loved the service. Waitress was working hard waiting tables herself for the most part with some help from the back. Comes in 3 diff price tiers and we got the one with sashimi and boy was it worth it. No alcohol license right now but we still had a great time. Free parking for 2 hours and menu doesn't include beverages other than water or dessert! Ambience is sitting around other people, nothing secluded. If come again because the fish is“
“This place has the best pho in the area handsThe customer service is dopeThe owner is always very welcoming and his recommendations always hit the spotThere’s endless veggies for your phoI love this place always but best for rainy daysI definitely recommend this spotParking: There’s street parking and public parking lots in the behind areas of pacific , how everI’ve always found street parking right up front of the spot or within a couple of feetKid-friendliness: Yes it’s kid friendlyThe owner is very friendly and accommodating“
“My personal favorite Thai restaurant to support ! They are so genuine and always so kind to their customers. They prepare their food with fresh ingredient's and every meal has been delicious! The food is consistently good here. We really love everything here from wonton soup, pad se ew, pumpkin curry, pineapple fried rice and the papaya salad to name a few of the faves! Excellent combos for lunch too! Dine in, take out and delivery available during lunch & dinner.“
“You know a spot is good when the only menu displayed has faded photos of various dishes with no descriptions or dish titles. Only the real ones know. Every time I come here, I meet a local who’s been coming here since the 80s or 90s and it is so comforting to know that a place like this exists. Love the food, owner, consistency, quality, and history of this place.Run by one guy and one guy only, make sure to be patient while waiting for your order if it gets packed, maybe clean up the tables around you while you wait. Doesn’t hurt to help.“
“The best bowl of beef pho you can find in Compton! the broth Is cooked perfectly.. also love the chili oil & wontons. it's a family owned business I usually order takeout and the temperature is always consistent And food always up to par.“

“Sakura is just one of those authentic, under the radar, all around great Japanese restaurants that are all to rare to find these days. This place is a local staple and provides the highest quality fish at great price. Not sure where else in LA that you can still get a phenomenal Chirashi bowl for $26! Why would I go anywhere else?“
“Located in the Century city mall food court area. Unless you're a big orange chicken fan, you should at least try this place. We got their shrimp and chicken teriyaki special with some veggies and rice. Generous portions, great food at a great price!;)“
“This place is SO good. The service was amazing, kind, and generous. We got the fish beignets, fried chicken sando (so yummy!), Wagyu, beef bavette, oysters, and olives. The bavette's sauce was especially good. Menza was welcoming from the beginning and very personable. Already told my friends about this place and plan to come again!“
“There wasn't a Chinese noodle soup restaurant in West LA other than Mr Rice. It's a good restaurant but it comes with hefty parking fees (finding parking near UCLA can be a nightmare, I ended up paying over $20 for parking). Then DongTing Noodle ? came to save the day! I love coming back here when I need a light meal that's healthy and delicious! I have to say though, if you like noodle soup with a mild taste, then this restaurant is definitely worth a try! This place is cozy and clean ! Customer service is great, too ??! You would order your food by scanning the QR code located on your table!The food:House Special Beef Rice Noodle Soup (10/10):This is by far my number 1 dish in the restaurant! The beef was juicy and mildly chewy! The soup smelled good and tasted really healthy! The rice noodles are neither soggy nor hard to chew! The portion was generous! It was mildly spicy, which adds to the flavor! Loved it ??!Soy sauce braised Pork Ribs Rice Noodle Soup (9/10):I loved this too. The pork was really savory. I didn't give this 10/10 just cos the soup could do with a little more salt!Red Braised Pork Noodle Soup (10/10):This is my number 2 recommended dish from the restaurant! The meat was my favorite part of the dish??! The fatty part was maybe 1/3 of the meat on every chop of the meat, which I thought was a great balance (too much fats on the pork can be a little heavy on the after taste)!Soy Braised Beef Slices w/ Cilantro (10/10):**THIS IS A COLD DISH** I enjoyed this, the spice wasn't so overwhelming that you couldn't taste the beef slices! This is a good appetizer to consider!Crispy Chicken (10/10):Wow! There are literally so many restaurants selling popcorn chicken in Sawtelle, I would say this is perhaps one of the better ones because the chicken ? were juicy and crispy! Seasoning was also on point! Thus, making this also a good appetizer to start your meal!Mini Pumpkin Pie (10/10):If you want something sweet and chewy, let this dish satisfy your cravings! I have come here thrice and never once have I gone without ordering this dish!Overall, I really enjoy this noodle soup restaurant and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break from Japanese ramen ?, it'll be worth it!TIPS: if you like spice ?️ and would love more flavor on your food, then add the chopped chili provided on your table (I added the picture on this post for reference)!“
“The food here is excellent, the place is really small with about eight tables, but pleasant. There's a little wait sometimes for ordering. All in all highly recommended.The other day I had their dinner special for $15 which included a Thai iced tea, an entree, a salad and shrimp fried rice with a couple large shrimps. Incredible deal and extremely tasty.Parking: There's a big city parking lot next door. There are also meters.Wheelchair accessibility: There's one step that's about 6 in into the restaurant.“
“The food is good but it is not worth the price. I got the pho combination which was 16 dollars. I would not mind the price but they are stingy with the meat. I would not bother coming back when there are so many other options that are worth the price of admission.“
“My 1st time there was Saturday. I had passed by many times and decided to try it. The food good. I got a shall bowl with all veggies. I really enjoyed the sweet potatoe noodles. The veggies were fresh. The service was ok. You have to ask for more sauce if desired. Got mine to go, it was very busy, loud and no sitting available during my visit. Overall, I liked it. I will definitely go back again. 3.5 out of 5 stars.Vegetarian options: Broccoli, black beans, cabbage, potatoes, green salad, pineapple“
“First time here and ordered the spicy pork belly bowl. I wasn't sure if it was gonna be worth the $16, but the food turned out really good. Good amount of meat to rice, sauce was savory/spicy, and you can taste the wok flavor. One of the most authentic things I've tried here in LA. $16 is indeed expensive. I'll have to come back another time when I want to treat myself. I finished the whole thing before I can take a pic.“
“I had the Red Ramen & Washington Roll. The sushi was fresh and a good size. The ramen broth was creamy and a good spice level. My fav part was the charred, tender pork belly in the ramen- it’s unique from other ramen I’ve had in LA. The chalkboard decor gives the place character“
“The place might be a little hard to find, as it is a little hole in the wall, but it's definitely worth going! There is the option of getting Poke or ordering food off their menu. They have a good amount of options of ramen, sushi and sides. There was even a choice of seafood ramen that resembles 7 mares (A Mexican seafood soup). For the ramen, they had mild and spicy options, and the mild had a bit of a kick to it. We got the chicken ramen, and the vegetable options were interesting, haha. Brocoli was boiled just until it was soft and still green. The carrot was also soft but had a crunch. The egg was boiled, but it wasn't seasoned with soy sauce (still delicious). Overall, it tasted like a home cooked meal. We also got got two rolls, the Baked Salmon roll and Fried California Roll. They were served with spicy mayo and eel sauce (most of the rolls are served with it). We also got takoyaki (octopus balls). All of the food was served in about 10 minutes, and straight off the pot! You can see the steam coming off the ramen. The lady who took our order was quick and efficient and she made our Thai tea in less than 30 seconds. All of our food was about 70 dollars, most of the items are between 10 and 20 dollars, and I noticed their menu prices are different online than their menu inside. It's also much more casual than it seems. I'd definitely come back in the future when I'm craving Mexican fusion.Vegetarian options: There was an All-Vegie Ramen that looked delicious, and a couple of rolls and poke options without any meat.Parking: There is a parking lot right next to the building, and there were plenty of parking spaces. However, the parking spaces were pretty compact, so even if you park straight the lines will probably be touching your wheels.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs from the parking to the sidewalk to the building. And the space to walk up to the door is fairly wide. Although, you might need some help with someone holding open the door for you because it felt a little heavy.“
“Food was decent here. I got the Dumpling combo which let me have 4 of each of their Dumpling flavors. I was hoping for more flavor. Nothing spectacular here, but still an okay meal if you like light flavor. They had multiple sauces that were also light on the flavor. I may need to try their Potstickers to see if having it fried makes a flavor difference. The Hot and Sour Soup had lots of ingredients and they didn't skimp on them. Like the dumplings, there wasn't as much flavor here as I'd expect. Both items had a good amount of food for the serving. Parking is easy as it is located on the non-busy side of a shopping complex. Service was mediocre. When I was asking about their options, the servers weren't really making it seem like they believed in their own product. There was a subtle indifference in my interaction. The restaurant was clean with lots of seating. Not sure if I would go back for what I ordered, but I may still give those Potstickers a try.“
“went with a group of 7, takes reservations so as long as the entire party is there on time, you'll be seated promptly. it's a small restaurant but i like that our group had our own large table with two grills. it does get busy though, so you'd have to hail down someone to continue ordering. AYCE time limit begins with the first round/order, and menu has so many options - from appies to desserts. they don't have radish paper but their garlic rice was so good! especially loved topping our dinner off with s'mores grilled over the fire.“
“I had the shrimp and pineapple fried rice. 5 stars for the portions. 4 stars for the food. The shrimp was pretty bland but the rice was good. Orange chicken was delicious. We all had a decent amount of leftovers because the portion sizes were large. Prices were relatively decent. The shrimp fried rice was $13 ish for a large portion.“
“The green salad and fried shrimps lacked the taste, which sounded mediocre. However, the macaroni one and dumplings (I forgot the name) were okay, while the yakisoba was tenderly good. Even the service was excellent with a fantastic atmosphere. Loved the restaurant since it was good to visit, as I'd recommend it.“
“The is a must visit spot. Wether you’re coming in for a quick bite or a good meal.The rolls are prepared fresh with the best ingredients. They also give you an option to get a miso soup with pairs perfect.The staff is very amicable & very customer service oriented. Thank you again for the warm hospitality & upbeat demeanor on my visit.“
“I have been ordering at Umami Express for a while now and it is such a life saver for busy weekdays. I am trying to lose weight and their food is so filling but guilt free - saved me from ordering unhealthy fast food. My fave so far is the chicken bowl, I add chestnuts and cucumbers. The texture is so good and the lemon garlic sauce is good as well. I did try the spicy sauce on time and it is not for me. One improvement I guess I would ask is if there is a way that the calories are stated in the website when I do my online order? I have never been in the restaurant, so I cannot tell for sure if they have it there. With my need to be more calorie conscious that will be a fantastic help. :-)“
“Trusty spot for drinks! Not as popular so there aren't long wait times. Love coming here for their complimentary chips and salsa! They have good bites as well. Love that they have hot cheeto fries. Cheese corn was exceptional as always.Boolieya fries: $17.99Cheese corn: $15.99Soju: $15.99“
“The food was good. First time coming into the restaurant and what I liked was the cashier guided me through the menu. He was very helpful. Even after I told him I couldn’t eat too much because I knew I was going to feel sleepy, he gave me a try of their in house coffee. It was goood by the way! He made my experience excellent! Great energy.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp into the corner eating areas and restaurants“
“This is by far my favorite Pho shop in LA. I come here every now and then to just eat a bowl of Pho and think. The owners are very kind and it’s a peaceful restaurant overall. There’s nothing better than a hot bowl of Pho on a Sunday afternoon.“
“Today, I had a chicken rice bowl with all the side toppings and to top it off with their spicy avocado sauce. The pricing for an airport location was astoundingly perfect for an extremely generous portion size. At first glance, I was a bit skeptical about the food. After mixing the sauce and everything else inside the bowl, I took my first bite and at that moment, I thought I was in heaven!!! The food was absolutely and amazingly delicious, but above the customer service was nothing short of spectacular. If looking for excellent food and terrific customer service, I would highly encourage and recommend Asian Street Eat located at LAX Tom Bradley International Airport (Departure).“
“Been coming here for years. Foodn is always delicious and staff is so friendly. Homey and cozy. Love the Chinese chicken salads!! Beat macaroni Salad too!Vegetarian options: Salad. Rice. Fries. Macaroni salad and much more.Parking: Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Vintage arcade games!“
“Flavor is good, they use a lot of garlic. Amount was enough but not for big appetites. Price is in average of Panda Express.Food was barely warm , and when is raining you just want your food hot. Service was good, they do not ask for tip, that is voluntary. Dining room is ok, chairs are for fast people, do not try to stay more than 15 min or pay your rent. I’ll be back but I’ll ask the waitress to please tell people staff be sure my delicious food is hot and healthy. I just realized, that must be keeping over 135 f degrees to be healthy, right?Anyway I’ll be back because I love garlic as a seasoning. Thank you“
