We have been going to this restaurant a couple of times and food has always been delicious. The service we encountered earlier today from "Young" or "Yang" (don't know if I spelled that correctly) who claims to be the manager was pretty bad, he is very rude and definitely doesn't know how to politely speak with the customers. My mom made several follow-ups since the Gambas took forever to come out, when it finally did, my mom complained as we were almost done eating and this Young guy instead of apologizing for the delay, he even lied and said that we just ordered this dish at a later time that's why it came out late (LIES! It's the 1st dish that we ordered and he or the kitchen may just have missed it). He seems like overwhelmed with the number of people at the restaurant and obviously cannot handle it. Moreover, we were a group of 9 people earlier and so we wanted to get split checks as what we always do at this restaurant but this manager said he can only bill 1 credit card and so I asked why can't we get split checks when we have done it in our previous visits?? Well apparently, the manager doesn't know how to do it and my sister ended up having to split the checks herself lol. To the owner, we have been patrons of your restaurant for quite some time because the food is really so good but please don't put "Young" as your manager as he doesn't have a pleasant personality and doesn't know how to treat the customers right, you'll definitely lose customers because of him. He should be in a different industry where he doesn't need to communicate with people.

I think I like the kimchi pasta the best here. When I have a chance, I’ll have the kimchi pasta someday. If I want to have carbonara or steak cream pasta, I’d visit my old workplace in order to visit there.

Mentaiko pasta was so good! I love that it had a good balance in taste. The pic was taken after eating about 50%.

This place is cute and the food is very yummy. It is definitely worth a try. There are a lot of food and drink selections, including alcohol beverages. The avocado toast with the poach egg is extra delicious from the seasoning and sauce for breakfast, the mixture was amazing. Also, the pasta dishes a MUST try, the noodles and sauces are done so well. It is pricey here and there are free parking with a lot of space outside. It is crowded and loud inside, but it was nice. They do have a vegetarian friendly menu as well. The restrooms are pretty clean, but there are no paper towels to dry hands, though.

SOJU COCKTAILS for brunch?! Say less! This Korean-Italian restaurant has just launched their alcohol menu and I'm not gonna lie, I was impressed. They're currently running specials like soju bottles and makkeogli for only $6.99(!!), and for non-drinkers, don't worry--they can make delicious mocktails like a virgin Mint mojito and Screwkiss, and also other bevvies like the Summer mango smoothie.
Of course the food was incredible too, like the Beef tataki salad that was a work of art.
I had been craving French toast so when I saw this on the menu, I KNEW I had to order it IMMEDIATELY.
They're known for their pasta dishes here, and the Tomato seafood pasta definitely did not miss.
Thanks for reading! ^-^

It looks good and the ingredients are plentiful. Instead, I wish it was a little smaller. It was a pity that both pieces of spaghetti were overcooked. I'll go eat something else too~

It has a bit of a Korean-style vibe. The Buldak tastes great, and the overall food quality is good. The portion sizes are a bit on the smaller side, almost kid-sized, but sufficient if you're not too hungry. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff are kind.

Delicious! Food was absolutely wonderful. We had almost given up eating out in the La Mirada area and had been cooking at home. Finally a LM restaurant with edible food. Food was very tasty. We shared the shrimp salad and bulgogi rice. Both were excellent. Iced coffee was really good too.

This is one of those restaurants that is local to us and really love to be able to support local restaurants. However, the atmosphere is just a bit stark, the service was okay, and the food was unremarkable. Although the mushroom soup was tasty, there was something off in the texture it just wasn't as creamy as I expect a good mushroom soup to be, and although the salad was beautiful to look at, the dressing just didn't have a lot of flavor. I'm asked for a little more dressing and all she brought out was a little small plastic cup with some balsamic vinegar reduction in it. Both my friend and I ordered salads. I got the steak salad and she ordered the burrata. Both salads were generously portioned, however, neither were all that satisfying unfortunately. The dressings just did not have a lot of flavor - it needed at least a little bit more salt, and the burrata salad in particular was oddly proportioned because it had almost all tomato halves which were delicious on top of the arugula and with the burrata, however, there was just way too many tomatoes in proportion to the salad and then the dressing itself just didn't have a whole lot of flavor. Honestly, it probably could have been improved with a bit of acid and some salt. I'm interested in coming back and trying another couple of dishes I really would love to love this restaurant and be able to support local restaurants like this, so I will come back and update my review after I've tried a couple more things on the menu.
Tried it for the first time...food was good as well as the presentation...the only reason I would hesitate to come back was the service...it was quite rushed and we were ignored most of the time.
