“Some of the best food you will eat. Service is great.“

“The service and the food is second to none.“

“All McDonald's are pretty much the same but what i think makes a difference is the people working. Saying Hello or a good morning or even how you doing goes a long way. At least the few times I have been to this McDonald's it's been like that.“

“Got to try the burrito, Route 66, quinoa fiesta - those are my go to but anything on the menu I’ve tried is delicious. They keep adding to items in their market section which has frozen, refrigerated and packaged items - so stop by other or you can even see the market items via their website.“

“We went to the Newport Beach location a couple of weeks ago. This was my first time ordering an acai bowl. The staff was very helpful and patient when I was building my bowl. Overall, from the time we walked in to the time we left, the staff was extremely friendly and nice.“

“Went for first time today. Extremely busy place. But considering the number of customers, they were pretty fast. I would definitely recommend them for their quality and efficiency. It’s noisy because of the hard surfaces construction but otherwise, all good.“

“As someone who’s passionate about clean eating and mindful of digestive health, I’m always looking for restaurants that balance authenticity with freshness and care. My visit to GS Cafe was a wonderful experience that checked many of those boxes.

I ordered the veggie platter, which came with great portion sizes and fresh ingredients enough for a 2 or 3 more meals! The injera appeared to have some barley mixed with teff, so while it wasn’t entirely gluten-free (as other reviewers mentioned), it was still light, fluffy, and beautifully made. I did miss a bit of that traditional sour tang, but it was clear that real attention went into its preparation.

The Key Sir (beets) were the star of the show — tender, perfectly cooked, and incredibly flavorful. Honestly, it was the best beet dish I’ve ever had.
The Misir Wot (red lentils) was surprisingly mild — a thoughtful touch for those sensitive to spice like me. The entire platter leaned toward a gentler spice profile than most of the 50+ platters I’ve tried over the years, but the staff provided traditional spice mix on the side, which was a lovely option for those wanting an extra kick.

The Gomen (greens) had more of a creamed-collard texture than the al dente style I prefer, but it was still well-seasoned. The Fasolia (string beans) and Atkilt (cabbage and carrots) were cooked nicely, though a touch on the oily side — not enough to upset my stomach, but it could be lighter.

And wow! the Ethiopian smoothie was a beautiful surprise! A refreshing blend of avocado, mango, and strawberry, it struck the perfect balance of sweet, fresh, and hearty.

The staff were outstanding; kind, welcoming, and clearly proud of their food. The young man who served me had such a positive attitude that it genuinely added to the warmth of the meal.

Overall, GS Cafe is an excellent choice for those trying Ethiopian food for the first time or for anyone seeking authentic flavors served in a gentle, stomach-friendly way.“

“Empanadas for breakfast, lunch & dinner are delicious!“

“Nice little cafe with a small menu and tasty“

“Always have a great time.service is fast,server are friendly“

“Yesterday, I discovered a hidden treasure in San Dimas - Sweet Savory Cafe. This cafe is known for its delicious cookies that sell out quickly. They offer a variety of international flavors, including Cuban sandwiches, salads, soups, freshly made bread, empanadas, and other bakery items. Some items are not listed on the menu, so you can ask for the Chef's Daily Special. I always look for clean and relaxing cafes where my family can eat, or I can simply sit and enjoy a book. My experience at Sweet Savory Cafe surpassed my experiences at other cafes in Pasadena, Claremont, and Upland. I arrived early and enjoyed warm cookies and bread, which were absolutely delicious. I ordered various items including coffee, soup, breakfast, and bakery items. Despite not being a coffee drinker, I found the coffee to be delicious and memorable. I also tried their Healthy Breakfast Burrito with added bacon, which was customizable and very filling. The Lentil soup had an amazing aroma and taste. I can't believe I didn't know about this cafe before, especially since I work in the city! For those new to the cafe, you can order through Uber Eats, Grubhub, Postmates, and DoorDash. Visit their website at SweetSavoryCafe.com or call them at 909-305-9738. Their menu includes breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, avocado toasts, old fashioned oatmeal, and build-your-own scramblers. For lunch and dinner, they offer sandwiches, Paninis, burritos, Cuban sandwiches, veggie sandwiches, wraps, salads, combos, kids' menu, bagels, and more. They even have Keto-friendly San Dimas Barbershop Tacos! There is parking available in the front and back, and plenty of seating inside and outside. If you have a large party, they can accommodate you by pushing tables together. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it a wonderful place to read a book or enjoy a meal with family. They also offer freshly made orange juice, and all their sandwiches are made with their own bread. I tried a new flavor of Sweet & Savory bread and found it to be very delicious. I added cream cheese to it yesterday and tried it with butter today. This is definitely my new go-to place for food. I appreciate the cleanliness of the cafe and the fact that it's open early on for breakfast including Saturday and Sunday. I was even able to order all these items on a Saturday at 7AM. Thank you to the owner, Haydee, and her family for providing such a great first experience. I'm now a loyal customer!“

“Had the Jackfruit Enchiladas and they were absolutely delicious 😋“

“great little sub shop. the bread, veggies, & toppings are always fresh and piled high. you can’t beat the price of a large sub and the combo deal here - for an extra dollar you get a small bag of chips and a canned soda. definitely stop by if your in the area and want a great filling sub.“

“Everything there is so good you gotta try it you will love it ❤️❤️❤️“

“Cozy restaurant full of character, good vibes and yummy food near a babbling creek in a mostly hidden canyon - what’s not to love ?❤️“

“Thai Thyme is cozy Thai restaurant that specialize in authentic Thailand cuisine. It’s located in Monrovia. They have vast selection of food and drinks at a reasonable price. Interior looks charming with high ceiling and exposed brick. Atmosphere was relaxing.

We have walked passed by Thai Thyme for years but never hand a chance to check-in until tonight. Because it tends to be packed due to its popularity. Anyway, after we perused their menu; I ordered a Chicken Pad Won Sen, Spring Rolls, iced tea and water. The noodle was tasty, moist and flavorful albeit a bit salty. Similarly, spring rolls were delightful. Drinks were good.

Staff were very attentive, engaging and respectful. Prices were fair and competitive. Atmosphere was relaxing and has a good vibe. Overall, it’s a nice Thai spot in my favorite town of Monrovia. I recommend you visit.“

“Reasonably priced, good portions. I had the 10pc sushi roll plate, and upgraded to steamed veggies, but they came litly steamed, closer to raw than cooked. Edamame was good (hard to not make that peoperly).

My friend had the bento box w/chicken teriyaki. Salad dressing comes in 1oz to go containers, despite us dining in restaurant.

Atmosphere clean but hotel-room boring (I'm in my 50's).“

“If you're on the lookout for an exceptional dining experience that feels like a warm embrace, this charming family-owned gem is a must-visit. The owners are not just figureheads; they're genuinely involved in the day-to-day operations, which adds a personal touch that’s increasingly rare in the restaurant scene today.

One delightful revelation I uncovered is that they prepare all the Banchans—those delightful small side dishes—right from their own kitchen. This homemade approach really shines through in every bite. I had the pleasure of trying their Bibimbap, Galbi beef, and the seafood tofu, and I can honestly say that each dish was a revelation.

The Bibimbap was a colorful medley of textures; the fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked rice harmonized beautifully with the delectable sauce. The Galbi beef was succulent and bursting with flavor, and you could tell it had been marinated with care. The seafood tofu was simply outstanding—rich, creamy, and generously packed with fresh seafood, making it a highlight of my meal.

What really struck me was the freshness of the ingredients. Everything tasted sumptuous and made with love, which is becoming a rarity in today's fast-paced dining environment. It’s clear that this restaurant values quality and authenticity, making it a standout option for anyone craving delicious Korean cuisine.

Without a doubt, this will be my go-to tofu house from now on. If you're in the mood for a home-cooked meal that feels both comforting and elevated, don't miss out on this fantastic culinary experience!“

“This place is amazing. I go often and everything on their menu is delicious. Their service is always on point, it's like joining family.“

“When got to drive-up the guy couldnt gueas which order was mine. i had to remind him. Fries were cold and soggy. The size of the burger was the smallest than I've ever seen before. Same was true for the fries. My first visit for a long time. Disappointing. Wayne Weaver 6262622068“

“Everyone so nice to us. Really enjoyed the restaurant and its employees“

“When my omnivorous husband likes a plant-based restaurant as much as I do, then I know it’s legit. The food here is fresh and delicious. We’ve tried several things on the menu but, because we don’t live nearby, we make the drive when I have a specific craving - #24, the vermicelli bowl. It is a perfect dish served by kind people at a very reasonable price. It’s always followed up by a complementary portion of dessert, a warm concoction of tapioca & coconut milk whose appearance belies its soulful, comforting, grandmotherly goodness.“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“TACOS NOT ON MENU!

Great non-Mexico tacos! But so good. Crispy! Their burritos are fried so a little different. These old-school taco places are nostalgic and need to stay around. Service is always fast and friendly with reasonable prices. They make their own hot sauce, so it's pretty good. Go if not just for nostalgia.“

“Very good food ! Very good food!“

“10 stars!! I recognized really late that I misunderstood “take two” and once they made my cheesy bread I was going to pay for it. However, they were so accommodating and didn’t make me feel stupid for messing up and I really appreciate that. It’s been a long weekend for me so that gesture hits me even harder. Thank you guys for that kindness even though you were so swamped with orders!“

“Wonderful place and great food.“

“Foods are good & service needs to improve. Myself & friends are first time to attend this Ramen place, overall we like the food & will go back!!“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“I loved going there for dinner, I didn't know they were open for dinner now with the new ownership. The filet of Sole dinner was PERFECT! Pleasantly surprised!“

“The food is very delicious, the restaurant is very beautiful, there is a lot of parking. Importantly all of the chefs are beautiful“

“I ordered the Grilled Salmon and it was simply amazing. Everything in that plate was so delicious, kudos to the chef! I was going there for the Shawerma; however, I couldn't resist getting the salmon since I was craving it and they didn't disappoint 😋“

“Very welcoming, courteous staff, and super varieties of delicious sushi. Will surely come back with friends.“

“Arcadia location... we went for the Monday pizza deal, it was delicious, Marco provided great professional service, would definitely recommend!“

“Location: Diamond Bar Blvd, inside a quiet strip mall plaza (plenty of parking). South of Temple Ave and North of the 60 freeway off of diamond bar blvd exit.

Seating: Around 8-9 tables, good for small groups or solo diners.

‍ Service: Only one staff member working when I went, but she was friendly and attentive.

Hotpot Style: a little different from the other solo pot restaurant. Each person gets their own pot. You choose your meats & ingredients, then cook them yourself--no overcooked food, no broth boiling over. I liked this style a lot.

Overall: Chill weekday vibe, quiet atmosphere ( not sure if its a slow time or the area is naturally quiet) , and a solid 3.5-4 experience. Great spot if you enjoy solo hotpot without the rush.“

“Good food and great service“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Best ice cream shop I have ever been to by far. Perfect place to finish up a nice out in Covina, or just to go to in general.

Dietary restrictions: Has keto and dairy free (using coconut cream and/or oat milk) ice cream, ice cream with alcohol infused has a low ABV so it's consider non alcoholic (you can definitely still taste the alcohol)

Parking: Street parking right in front and down the street, large parking lots about a block and 2 blocks south“
