“This place has brought me good luck and good food.“

“The sushi was on point. I had a caterpillar roll. The ingredients were fresh and I was full from the size of the roll! Also, it was quite a deal too as I had dinner on a Wednesday. Currently, Monday through Friday the restaurant is offering 20% off.“

“I’ve always loved coming here for their teriyaki chicken bowls, but now they’ve also won me over with their new Okinawa Matcha Cloud drinks!

The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently fresh. Highly recommend this spot!! Best matcha I’ve ever had!!“

“I almost didn't want to post about this place because i dont want this place to get too busy! I like the chill (titanic) vibe and delicious food above all. I get my most frequent take out dinners here. My favorite is Galbi-Tang, its very similar to caldo de rez, but with different veggies. Anyway, hoping this helps someone decide this is a good reliable spot to try sometime when youre craving Korean food.“

“10 out of 10!!!
Wow exceeded my expectations
A Must go! I’ve been to so many Asian bowl places! This is my fave!

Got the rainbow don (included piping hot miso)
Lots of warm rice with furikake-like seasonings
It doesn't even need spicy mayo and all those other things poke places have“

“Good food, I got the #1 and the portions were very filling. They offer samples of the teriyaki chicken which got me to order the dish. Although the actual dish wasn't as sauced, the meat was still tender and tasty. Only downside was that some bites of rice were uncooked.“

“I have been searching for a sushi spot since we have moved . I passed by here so many times until I finally came in and I DO NOT regret it !! It’s so fresh!! So good !! A big variety yet straight fwd menu ! I will most definitely continue to come here !!“

“The sweet lady at the counter told me everything on the menu was good after I asked. And once I ate my food I understood completely. I ordered some wonton soup. It’s the best I’ve had in LA 😋 but i definitely believe everything else on the menu is equally as fire. It was so yummy“

“Winner sinigang na baboy, turo-turo style. Give them a try if you live in the area. 20% off after 5pm �“

“a great, hearty food fit for a khan ;)“

“I visited Tony’s Barbecue to check them out.

They are located at the corner of the strip mall, very easy to overlook unless you are looking for it. The inside wall has their menu selection along with their prices.

They greeted me with a warm welcome, which made me feel at ease., they have 4 tables which will seat 14 diners. The service was friendly and professional.

I ordered their Chicken Inasal meal special and was told that it would be freshly made so it would take approx 15 minutes to prepare. It was ready in about that time,

The meal includes a small bowl of egg flour soup, a small cup Scoop of Java rice, 2 pcs of chicken leg/thigh. The Chicken was tender and delish, The Java rice was tasty, the soup was egg flour(?) soup.

The vibe of the place was a very Filipino cantina. I would recommend this place.“

“loved! loved! loved! beautiful decor, awesome ambiance, great and friendly service and delicious food! reasonably priced! And so conveniently next door to the Whiskey, great for when there's a show you're going to attend. all the thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼“

“Lots of choices, good food😊“

“I first came to this place 6 years ago and remember it fondly. My options and time for food where limited at the time, and having this place felt so abundant and delicious. Honestly, it's still the same place. The food is pretty dang good, especially if you go for your favorites once you find them, and they're not trying to be gourmet or transcendent.. it's an AYCE buffet. You pay your chunk of money, around 28 bucks, and you eat as much as you want... Simple... I gravitate towards their sushi, chicken wings, fried shrimp, and surprisingly good barbecue ribs.. the pork buns have always been on par with a good quality home steamed version too. Some of the stuffed clams and creations often end up being favorites too, but that changes every visit. If you want buffet desserts following your savory meal, this is not the one, there's a few mid to bad cake squares and such. The quality and cleanliness is good, and Ive never felt off or uncomfortable even after eating too much.

The dining area and buffet is roomy and fairly crowded on a Saturday around 2:00p. Especially with lots of large families.

I think this place is worth your time and money if you are really hungry and craving some simple, good food from the cuisines they offer. I give it 5 stars because they're doing exactly what they're trying to do.. offer a big selection of decent foods and as much as you want of it.“

“First time excellent fresh food ..Live the appetizers“

“Great Food. Price it's right.“

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. The Thai flavors were authentic and comforting, and the portions were generous.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere made it a great spot to sit back and enjoy a meal. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented. This is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending to anyone craving great Thai food.“

“This was an absolutely fantastic experience, would 100% recommend to anyone, cheap, fast, delicious.
So we went here for a birthday, more or less 12 people, firstly, the cost was amazing, for the portion size that you get, and the amount of food you get, every single cent is worth it (at the same time it wasn’t expensive), the range of selection was top notch, you had everything and anything you could dream off, the server was super kind, fast, locked in, took our order, and we got our food 5 minutes later, fresh, hot, delicious.
Everyone loved their food, most took their leftovers home, others had finished, but again, portion sizes are VERY generous, so I’m not complaining even a single bit, the atmosphere overall was great as well, such a homey feeling, but at the same time you have that East Asian vibe, so they compliment each other very well.
Ultimately, if you’re a UCLA student or just anyone looking to eat East Asian food, this place has to be your go-to, number 1, top of the list, I seriously cannot hype it enough, it was incredible, and I would recommend to everyone.“

“10/10 food was amazing great customer service , ordered my food online for pickup it was ready within an instant food is well temped taste good and could see that they put in good heart and effort into this , would recommend this panda to anyone here in the valley 10/10“

“The service here was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They were accommodating to make dishes vegan and careful to make sure the details were correct. This eggplant and vegetables is delicious! Comes out piping hot, super fresh, and has lots of flavor without being too salty. I tried another place down the street and was disappointed so I came here after and wish I’d come here first! Great space, plenty of parking, and nice natural lighting. Would definitely recommend.“
