“I think our empty plates speak for themselves cause this place is ?? I was licking my plate was so good. We had to have caught them on a slow day cause we had the whole place to ourself!! But might be for the best cause we were FEASTING and it sounded like it?. If not then this place is definitely underrated 10/10.“
“Vegan style pizza was surprisingly delicious with a salad.Vegetarian options: No pork or options for veggies and crust.Parking: Plus handicap ♿️Kid-friendliness: I witnessed children school age and a baby in a carrier.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide entrance doors table where chairs can be moved“
“I got the mushroom carne asada bowl and the hibiscus drink. I’m not vegan but this is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. The owner is lovely. The food is delicious and portions are big! These bowls aren’t just rice and some toppings, it’s a great balance of every ingredient. The drinks are perfectly sweet and refreshing. The seating outside is comfy and relaxed. I recommend this to anyone local or visiting!!! Check them out!“
“The food is so flavorful and the service was exceptional. There is outside seating if you choose not to be inside. Our server Danny did an amazing job, our food came fast and he always checked on us. Overall I give service and food 10 stars. Will definitely be coming back to try different menu items.“
“I always enjoy the food at Manhattan Bch Urban Plates. Everything is delicious, nicely presented and is hot when it arrives at your table. The restaurant is very clean and has a great ambiance. And I can’t say enough about Sandro. He is friendly, supremely attentive and leaves nothing to chance. Consider yourself lucky if Sandro is working the day you visit this location.“
“Food and service was excellent, highly recommend!My sister and I live in SD but were in Santa Monica for the day and stopped here for lunch. I got the cobb salad and my sister got the West Coast wrap and both were excellent. We both also got the Ginger Turmeric Lemonade which we couldn't rave enough about. We loved the soft hits of the ginger and turmeric, not overpowering, and it wasn't too sweet like other lemonades.Overall, the food was excellent and I couldn't say enough about how great the service was.I wish there was a location in SD so we could stop by for lunch more often but we'll definitely make sure to stop by again when were up in Santa Monica.“
“Highly recommended!! Probably the best Katsu I have ever had since I lived in LA. I ordered several fried appetizers and Katsu plate. All of them are freshly made and tasty.1. Pork Katsu: unlike some other Katsu, this has light breading. The pork is juicy inside crispy outside.2. The fried mushroom is same as the Katsu, very juicy inside and without compromise the crispness outside.3. Waffle fries is not too much surprise tho as it is like other waffle fries you can get from somewhere else.With this price point, I will definitely come back for more!“
“Food was great. I got the grilled steak, beet salad with goat cheese, and mashed potatoes. The portions were good and the food was bomb. The place is clean and next to the parking structure. Staff was really friendly, Tomas in particular was helpful and sweet. Would definitely come back again.“
“This is a great little pizza joint. The owner and operator, Luis, really cares about making excellent food and the community around him. He doesn't try to imitate other pizza parlors, which is how it should be. The result is delicious, melt-in-your-mouth crust, quality pizza sauce and an array of fresh toppings. There are also tons of tasty appetizers.Give South Bay Pizza a try. It's amazing pizza at an excellent price!“
“Enjoyed a relaxing outdoor brunch at this popular Mexican restaurant in the Torrance Hollywood Riviera. We picked a nice corner spot with partial shield under the umbrella. It’s a dog friendly restaurant but we wanted to be away from others with our young puppy.The food came fairly quickly, we highly recommend the Octopus Ceviche if you like octopus. I had the Wednesday Burrito special, and my wife had two tacos specials with Asadas. Both were delicious.Our server, Anthony, was prompt and friendly, multiple other servers stopped by multiple times made you feel welcome and made sure we have what we needed.Parking: Parking: a bit of hit and miss in this popular district, once you find a street parking spot, I recommend using the QR code and pay electronically, it’s relatively painless. Another person tried to mess with the meter and sometimes the screen is hard to read, especially under the sun.“
“Are you willing to work for your food? Are you willing to wait in a long line? If the answer is yes then please take the time to try Apollonia's. Their hours are strange and they are cash only in the restaurant but it's worth it.This is best thin slice pizza I have had in California. They also have incredible Detroit style slices. The pepperoni vodka slice is a must try.Very little parking.Parking: Very little parking. Small lot that is always full.“

“I am a Korean living in Philadelphia. On my first day in LA, I visited for a quick dinner. I ordered Spicy pork, Bulgogi, and Korean fried chicken. I especially recommend the spicy pork! It tasted like eating in Korea. I hope to open a branch in Philly too?“
“We orders the bacon wrapped scallops and a wedge salad as starters and they were both delicious! My husband ordered the smash burger with fries and loved it. I had the bone in pork chop which was fabulous! The service was amazing. We really enjoyed our dining experience.“
“CASH ONLY. Unless you order online on your phone in front of the guy at the counter or use the cash machine to withdraw money for a $3 fee. Both are ridiculous. Pizza was pretty good! I will go back with cash in hand some day because the food was worth it.“
“I recently dined at Arag Mongolian Cuisine and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The fried dumplings were simply divine, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The beefsteak was tender and juicy, while the tefteli with ground beef was a delicious twist on traditional Russian cuisine. The proximity to Russian flavors added a unique touch. Highly recommended for a delightful culinary adventure!“
“This is a great lil joint hiding away in a not often traveled part of DTLA. It’s a small and cozy spot but the food they cook up is delicious and very good portion sizes. Nothing is crazy overpriced and the flavors of everything are spot on. We got the beef and chicken lule combo and lamb chop combo and loved it all. The char and flavor of the chops and lule was amazing. Plus the rice that comes with it was cooked perfect and I love that it comes with a sumac seasoning to add. Would definitely go back and recommend“
“An old fashioned diner without the old fashioned prices and greasiness but you get what you pay for here at Nordstrom Bazille and that includes quality service and well executed dishes that satisfy those old fashioned cravings like the Tomato Basil Soup, Turkey/Bacon/Avocado Club and Fried Chicken Sandwich.......Yum!!'“
“What can I say other than Chef Melba's is absolutely incredible. We had a fantastic dinner there on Friday evening and shut the restaurant down. the food, the service, the camaraderie, the quaintness, the intimacy of the space is just on matched. . Also, the phenomenal food and a very personal experience as chef Melba comes to your table and makes sure you're satisfied with the meal. John, who is the head waiter? Make sure that we lack Nord need of anything as we were considered v. I p's. We have a special drink at the end of our experience.“
“All foods I have tried here are very fresh, and people are always so welcoming. I especially like the strawberry matcha latte, squeezed orange juice, croissant ham sandwich, tuna kimbap, and the chicken salad. The turkey sandwich is great, too, as it has many fresh cut veggies inside, but I would recommend croissant sandwich over it as I just personally like the bread part being croissant better. There are seats inside the cafe, and although I have not eaten inside, it rather looked spacious.“
“Wow, what great sandwiches! Very popular, you get what you pay for; fresh ingredients and top on the line ingredients... always a go-to when I'm working in L.A. You can not eat at this location, and parking to pickup is sometimes hectic but so worth it!“
“Went here for a late night dinner after a delayed flight, and absolutely loved the pizza. Since it has a build your own option, jain options are possible. We did Build our own pizza, and it was great. The dough texture, cheese, amount of toppings, sauce flavor, everything was great. The quantity was also really good. Recommend ?“
“The only pizza that I'm willing to drive an hour to get. Hands down to their fluffy and airy Hokkaidough. Their mushroom magic pizza is by far the best. I also ordered their wings and they were delicious! Quality of ingredients were very fresh!“
“Our favorite pizza place in L.A. out of more than a dozen we've been to. We always get their XL Flyin' Hawaiian which has pineapple, Canadian bacon, and (real) bacon bits.Also, their music is so awesome- usually reggae or something similarly upbeat and laid back. I'm always Shazaming songs while waiting for the pizzaParmesan and pepper flake shakers are usually on the tables but if they forgot just ask, they're really good. It's worth it to ask“
“Best thai place I had in awhile. Great value. I had the beef satay and my wife had the chicken satay. Beef satay is bomb. I recommend the cucumber salad over the papaya salad. It had a subway veggies type of taste. My wife is picky and ended up loving it. Be here soon again. 17 bucks average meal.“
“such a delicious and amazing experience for our first time here in the Kebab Shop. to start with, the interior is on point, very clean and laid back vibes. the service is also wonderful, the kind young woman in the front was very sweet. food is absolutely WOW!! so much flavor, the sauces and meats are just so delicious. i would recommend this place any day <3Vegetarian options: falafel is available!“
“Ambiance: pretty straightforward shop, grab and go meal, nice, clean, and quiet. I went midday, and there weren't many people inside.Service: They were extremely kind and helpful, made great suggestions, and told me about their most popular items.Food: I already had my mind made up when I went, so i knew i would get the chicken salad sandwich, but it ended up tasting more like a bbq chicken sandwich to me which was good and very flavorful. Unfortunately, it was not a filling sandwich, and I ended up having to find something else to eat, which was disappointing because the meal was not cheap. Overall, I would try it again, just to get what they're known for.“
“This is the best Turkish food in town. The quality of the food is great. Everything is fresh, The portions are pretty big. My favorites are Sultan Delight and Adana kabab. Their Baba ganouj is the best in LA. It's not heavy. They have a small area where you can eat but it's mostly takeout. This place is literally a hidden gem.“
“Beef Shawerma and Vegetarian Mezze Platter were soooo good! Beef was super tender and flavorful. Rice well seasoned and delicious. Falafel amazing! Even though the baba ghanoush and hummus were side dishes in the platter, they were both standouts.I would happily return and highly recommend this place. Good for takeout. Just watch out about the parking situation, especially in the evenings; it's always a pain.Parking: It's a huge parking lot, but it's crazy to navigate because people double park and sit in the middle of an already tight passageway and don't care. Saw many close call accidents.“
“First of all Owner is super chill. Picture doesn't do it justice. As far as food I've NEVER had a bad experience here. Been here at least 5 times already. Cheese pizza is good, toppings are fresh, surprisingly filling. Really can't go wrong here. It's great seeing Wilmington having a high quality in variety of pizza. The solid music playing inside from the records is a plus!“
“It's a Friday in Lent. What's a Christian craving some penitential fish and chips in the South Bay supposed to do? Naturally, I browsed the SouthbayLA subreddit for some fish and chips recommendations.Bluesalt Fish Grill did not disappoint. The fish and chips were hot, crispy, and tasty. They're a great value and extremely filling for the price.I don't have any complaints about the service. It was a bit busy, but it was also a Friday in Lent when a lot of folks might be eating fish? In any case, I want to bring my mom back here at some point. They have a lot of wild caught fish options.“
“Went with three others last night. Service was vey friendly, although you do all the work ordering on the computer. Seating was outside, only, which is OK when the weather is good. They do have heaters but they weren't needed last night. The food was excellent. The fried potatoes were fresh, and crisp. The Dirty Chicken (their specialty) was very crisp and very juicy. Mac & cheese was not like so many others that have overly saturated gooey cheese. These were just right. The sautéed broccoli was delicious and al dente.We will definitely be back for more.“
“Stopped by for lunch while I waited for my dog around the color! Ordered a soup, seafood fried rice, street food pad thai, a roti and a coconut flan .. it was all super yummy! Not too much oil, sharable and enough left overs to eat later!Service was friendly, approachable and super attentive. I’m not sure why it was slow but I’d be here once a week if I lived near by!I highly recommend it!“
“I was last in this location back in 96. I was stationed at Los Angeles Air Base in El Segundo. We used to come eat here from time to time.Well, the place and food are just as good now as they were then!The place is nice and location great with lots of parking nearby.Thanks for bringing back some great memories and times with friends!“

“Absolutely wonderful. It's refreshing to eat chicken katsu that's both juicy and has the perfect crunch on the outside. To make it better, it's curry compliment was bursting with flavor yet, it was not overwhelming. I think I got it medium for the spice level and it was perfect for me. I'll probably try to the spicer option when I go back. The chicken karage was also superb. The service was fast and the restaurant was very clean! I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu.“
“The Grain Cafe in Culver City on Venice blvd did it again ! Every time I try something different,,, and let me tell you , they never disappoint. I ordered for delivery it was a wet burrito in green sauce ! I love the vegan chicken ! Everything is delicious . Also the guy who answers the phone is always so pleasant, courteous, and professional. For someone that is going vegetarian, I always find it easy to eat something I am craving without the meat . Thanks guys“

“It was pi day, so it was BOGO—definitely value for money! We had such an enjoyable evening and were even gifted a dessert because one of our pizzas took a long while to come out. Our server (Jessica, if I heard correctly) was gracious and in good spirits considering how busy it was. Naturally there was plenty to take home, and I can verify that my leftovers were still delicious today! Bonus: a really adorable and beautifully quiet baby at the next table.“
“Go Lawndale! Corner Joint is a delightful surprise. Its sleek yet cozy ambiance sets the stage for a menu that seamlessly blends modern American cuisine with global flavors. From juicy burgers to fresh salads and decadent pastas, each dish is expertly crafted. The bar offers a fine selection of wines and local brews. But what truly shines is the attentive and genuine service, making every visit memorable. The service here is outstanding. If you're in Lawndale, make sure to go, it won't disappoint!“
“Long story short, give this place a go! The staff was VERY friendly and gave great recommendations. The portions were amazing for the price and I enjoyed the entire meal. My partner and I both got the chicken kabab plate and the entire time we were eating we were commenting on how great and fresh everything was. The owner(?)/manager(?) came out during our meal and gave us a small slice of honey cake on the house, which really hit the spot! We both give two thumbs up and will be putting this place into our rotation.“
“The food is fantastic, the staff is super accommodating to allergies, and the location is hard to beat. If you can, try going for a weekday breakfast. It's not as crowded, and you get your pick of blankets to borrow to keep you warm. ? Plus, you're covered so the seagulls won't try to steal your food. LolParking: You have to park at the beach. But there is metered parking.“
“It was my first time the guy whom took my order was very nice and patient he allowed me to sample a few meats almost got full lol. I tried the food that’s already ready not bad. Mac and cheese isn’t write home-able lacking flavor but cheesy brisket was okay grilled veggies were good. The fruit parfait ? bomb. I can see myself returning because they have breakfast lunch etc it’s great to have a place in such an area with healthy choices. So I gotta return for more I see the great potential in this eaterythank you Served 2 Enjoy“
“This pizzeria is a slice of heaven! The crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are fresh and flavorful, and the service is always friendly. Whether dining in or ordering for delivery, I've never been disappointed. Definitely my go-to spot for a delicious pizza fix!“
“My absolute favorite Mexican spot in all of Los Angeles! Everything here is great from the fajitas, burritos,quesadillas, to simply just their sides of rice and beans, which is my personal favorite. It’s always always my first stop when I come back home, staff here so sweet and lovely. I’m just sad that they closed down their other locations but I hope they will come back soon!“
“This place is awesome. The chicken is great and there are so many options. I'm obsessed with the Nashville sandwich and all the salads. I even love the drink options lol The most surprising thing is the staff is really awesome. They seem genuinely happy to be there. A man named Rod helped us and he was so friendly. And a nice lady gave us a ton of sauces so we could try them and find our favorites. Will be back at least one a week lol“
“Mama Says Italian restaurant, conveniently located in the Rolling Hills plaza next to Whole Foods, proved to be a delightful discovery. The review praises the excellent food made to order at a reasonable price. The mixed seafood pasta ordered to-go was perfectly seasoned, with noodles cooked to the ideal texture, not overdone. The addition of the carrot soup, with its enjoyable blend of seasoning and just the right amount of cream, complemented the meal nicely. Definitely, be back to try other pasta dishes.“
“Came today Feb 20th around12:30. The lady that takes your order, is very pleasant and patient. She also explains the menu. I had to tip her. I love good service with a smile. NOW TO THE FOOD. THE REGULAR SHRIMP AND PARMESAN FRIES ARE BOMB. I DON'T EVEN EAT FRENCH FRIES ? LIKE THAT ANYMORE BUT THEY'RE SO DELICIOUS, I ATE ALMOST ALL OF THEM. I ALSO ORDERED THE FLAMANGO HABANERO WINGS. HAVEN'T TRIED THOSE YET. BLACK OWNED BUSINESS, I ❤️❤️ IT. I'M GOING TO BRING SOME FRIENDS NEXT TIME. BEST OF LUCK WITH UR BUSINESS. KEEP UP THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THANKS FOR A GREAT LUNCH“
“Finally: the best vegan Pizza is back!!Pineapple Express! We’ve been waiting so long!It’s a festival of flavour! :DParking: The parking lot at Purgatory has a small number of spots and it’s kind of difficult to navigate through. S Utah Street has plenty of street parking.“
“Wax Paper Chinatown brings the same excellent sandwiches that you can get in Frogtown to a different part of LA. I usually go to the Frogtown location if I'm craving one of their sandwiches, but if I'm nearby or want a sandwich only offered on the Chinatown menu, then I order from here. There's some seating in the shared hallway area if you decide to dine in, and I've always found the service to be friendly and efficient. The Garth Trinidad is one of my favorite turkey sandwiches, combining a slightly spicy cabbage slaw with roasted turkey and aioli. Just writing about this sandwich makes me think I'm quite overdue for a Wax Paper order!“
“Sushi was excellent, service was top-notch, staff was friendly. Only thing I would say knocked it down a rating was the calamari appetizer could have used a bit more flavor but I am being very picky. Still finished the whole thing! Not from the area but if I come back, I would go back here. They played electronic music, which I personally love, but can see how some folks may not like the vibe because of the music.“
“Pizza is wonderful. Though a tad expensive. Kinda ironic having a halal place inside a liquor store but good food does not discriminate.No sit down area so great for delivery or pickup. A lot of unique South Asian inspired pizzas. I didn't try any of their other foods but they had a selection of biryani and stuff like that.“
