“Absolute gem. The pork shawarma combo was delicious; I loved the sauces. Fries were good, but nothing too special. A bit soggy.

When they ask if you want spicy, they're asking if you want jalapeno slices. Do it. It's a mild kick at best.

The couple running this is an older man & woman. They're so cute. Please support their business.“

“The prices here are amazing. So is the taste of the food. The chicken teriyaki is absolutely delicious. It is very tender, juicy and soft yet well cooked. The beef tastes way better than the one in the yoshinoya. The prices are so good here. Customer service is awesome too. Food comes out fast and they give you big portions.“

“Sushi Monster – Montrose

We had a great experience at Sushi Monster in Montrose. From start to finish, everything felt relaxed, welcoming, and well taken care of.

The rolls were the standout — beautifully presented, generous portions, and packed with flavor. Each roll tasted fresh and well-balanced, without being overpowered by sauces. The nigiri and sashimi were equally impressive, clearly made with quality fish and attention to detail.

What really elevated the meal, though, was the attentive and friendly service. Our server was knowledgeable, checked in at the right moments, and made thoughtful recommendations without ever feeling rushed or pushy. It made the entire experience feel genuinely enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a reliable local sushi spot with excellent rolls and great service, Sushi Monster is absolutely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back. 🍣“

“Best açaí ever!! They literally let you pick unlimited toppings, comparatively to other açaí places I have ordered from, they charge me $2 per extra topping after 3 toppings. And the staff is so friendly! What else could you want from a neighborhood açaí shop? 10/10 I wish I lived in the area so I could go everyday. Love yall!!“

“Great cafe, lots of space, Wi-Fi is issue-free. Love sitting outside with the mountains in view, gives a unique feeling to the area.

The food quality & sourcing is better than expected for the area, I like the sweetness of their Matcha Latte.

Great customer service and friendly owners.“

“muy buen servicio, y buen ambiente.“

“I started with their bestseller breakfast burrito, and it delivers exactly what you want in a classic breakfast build — hearty, flavorful, and properly balanced. The potatoes are cooked right, the textures work, and nothing feels like filler. It’s satisfying without being overly heavy. But the real surprise for me was The Green Burrito. Egg, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, salsa verde — and I added chorizo. The combination is layered, bright, and bold. The sun-dried tomatoes give it depth, the salsa verde cuts through beautifully, and the chorizo adds that extra savory punch. In my opinion, it actually outshined the bestseller. If you’re someone who appreciates a protein-forward, well-crafted breakfast burrito with intention behind the flavors, this is a spot worth pulling up to. Community-approved for a reason.

“Since Or Bar opened in the old Gold Coast space, it has become my favorite local place. Good drinks, great people. I love all of the staff here!“

“Visiting LA this week and had a fab time at the Clark Street Diner, excellent food😋“

“Lovely people and food!!!“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Villa's Tacos were amazing! and I'm not saying this just because of the hype of the Super Bowl. I'm saying this because I mean it. The tacos were just amazing to me. Not your regular everywhere tacos. These tacos were homemade recipes. I had the carne asada, pork with potato (puerco con papa) & beans with cactus (frijoles con nopal). It's a week later that I tried these tacos and I can't stop talking about them. My favorite was the beans with cactus. Soooo good. Also, the atmosphere was just so nice and lively. I truly enjoyed every minute of my visit here. Thank you Villa's Tacos, we will return.“

“So glad my daughter and I stopped here. We each had breakfast burritos and they were excellent. Not only delicious, but big. We both tried the hot salsa and liked it. The atmosphere was very inviting. The service was the best I've received in a very long time. The server was very attentive and sweet. The cook came out and asked if we were enjoying our meal. He was interested in our feedback. We both decided we would be back even though we don't live in the area. It was definitely worth the effort of finding parking. Don't pass this place up
PS, the cook let us try the birria. That's what I'm ordering next time. Yum“

“Not a big fan of sitting on the side of street where people walk by and you intake that fumes coming from all these traffic. Got to sit inside by the bar, the food here is okay, but a bit pricey for what it's worth. Been to many affordable to very expensive sushi places in the U.S. and in Asia, this place is more IG/social media friendly picturesque place than an actual sushi/sashimi place. Not much nigiri/sashimi choices. Not a big fan of places that sell pre-made canned alcohol with an extreme markup.“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“DO NOT GO HERE! You'll never be able to enjoy a sandwich from another establishment again. This place will ruin every other diner experience you've ever had. You will be saddened to realize that no other place can compete, and you don't have the budget or time to go to Bub and Grandma's every time you want to eat out. In fact, you may be forced to stay in and cook until you save up enough money and vacation time to make another trip out to Bub and Grandma's. Which will lead you to build your entire schedule and financial outlook around a single, exquisite restaurant experience.“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Absolutely love this place. It’s so cute and feels like home like being in Armenia. The food is made with so much heart that it feels like medicine for the body. You can truly feel the kind energy of the people cooking. Wishing them continued success!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Our family had an excellent meal at Mother Wolf last night. The pasta was out of this world and the Italian wine selection was great. The decor is very nice and conducive to an overall excellent experience.“

“All the food was outstanding. The raw fish and seafood was unbelievably fresh and aptly paired with elevated fresh flavors. The tostadas reminded me of Contramar in Cdmx, but even better (dare i say).

The atmosphere is beautiful, has a massive garden space, scattered lighting, copious succulents. It feels like an escape right in LA. The service is warm, personable, efficient.

Definitely worth the trip and such a great find.“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“Fresh delicious food. Child friendly. Great service.“

“Solid brunch menu (I had the oysters and the Eggs Benedict with a Brut Rose Champagne and the trifle for dessert). My server Corbin was very friendly and attentive. The outdoor space is cool, trendy, and hip, but not over-the-top. The music pulses, but it’s not a distraction to conversation. I’ve been looking for good places since moving to LA almost 6 months ago. This was one of the few times I wasn’t disappointed.“

“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“Incredible burritos and quesadillas !! I love how consistent this spot is, it never misses. Super high quality protein and generous portions. The steak is my favorite but honestly can't go wrong. Don't forget to add the toum arbol sauce on the side it's unbelievable :)“

“Excellent service! The food is good especially the deep fried soft shell crabs!“

“great place for ice cream“

“I am not vegan myself but the food here is really good. I always get the chicken Pho and the broth is savory and great. Tried mango sticky rice for the first time for desert and fell in love. It was really good. Definitely recommend to check this place out.“

“The biggest value of this place is its location and outstanding service. We came for breakfast as a family of six and even changed our table at the last minute, but the staff handled it with ease.
Our server, Razmik, was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He has such a contagious laugh and warm personality that immediately made us feel at home. Service like his is rare, and honestly, it’s worth visiting this place just for people like him.
The food was also excellent. I especially loved the eggplant and zucchini chips, the fried calamari, and the omelettes. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!“

“Great costumer service and very friendly staff.“

“The best vegan baked goods around town! I had the cornbread, almond cookie (gluten free), chocolate chip (gluten free), and Armenian pizza with a mixed tea. So good!“

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

“Amazing Avocado roast poached egg Amazing staff manager follow up to make sure meal was perfect amazing ambiance great location natural light“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“My go to breakfast spot. Love how vegan friendly it is and on a beautiful LA day it’s such a gorgeous spot to sit outside and talk with friends. The steak sandwich and breakfast crunch wrap are my current favs but it’s hard to pick when everything is so good!“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“Hadasa (sorry if I spelled it wrong) made our first impression wonderful she was patient during the rush and went over the menu with us
We will definitely come back if there’s service like that ! We loved the Birria ramen! Thank you“

“excellent service. very rich“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“Visiting from out of town, and happened to have dinner here. I liked that the place was easy to find, and had lots of parking. The service was top notch! Very attentive, quick, and friendly! Hubby had the lime and chili ramen and really enjoyed it. It was very flavorful. I had the yakisoba noodles with pork. The pork was lovely and well cooked. Very tender! But, for me, the sauce on the noodles was really heavy on vinegar. I was expecting/wanting a more savory/umami flavor. They were way too sour for my taste. I’m certain that there would have been a lot of other menu items I would have enjoyed! I wish I’d tried their miso ramen instead of the yakisoba.“

“Fantastic food at an extremely reasonable price. You can easily get full for 20$. We had a huge spread of dumplings, our favorite was the spicy pork dunpling and the pork and leek pancakes. Everything was delicious and seemed hand made. Service is very casual. This is a great spot to share food with people you care about you will get great shareable food and service that is attentive without being interrupting.“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“This was my first time at Artelis Patisserie, and I came in without knowing what to order. I asked for recommendations, and the person at the counter was genuinely passionate and took the time to walk me through their pastries and macarons — which I really appreciated.

I’m usually skeptical of French pastries in LA, but I trusted the recommendation and ordered Lé Peanut. It was beautifully executed and very well balanced — not overly sweet, with clearly defined layers. The tempered chocolate finish was done properly: glossy, crisp, and clean.

I also tried the Napoleon, and it was excellent. The puff pastry was caramelized, crisp, and not soggy, with a rich vanilla flavor that felt intentional rather than sugary.

I picked up two macarons as well, and they were surprisingly good — crisp shells, soft interior, and well-made fillings. The milk chocolate Earl Grey had a clear tea note, and the milk chocolate passion fruit was a great sweet-and-tart combination.

Everything I tried showed real technique and care. Beautiful packaging, warm service, and clearly a place that takes pastry seriously. I’ll definitely be back.“
