Restaurants by Cuisine
“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.”
“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.”

“Just an amazing taste! You have to try it when as soon you visit Long Beach 🏝”
“This place is the go-to destination for Spanish tapas. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the venue offers two distinct vibes: a great front restaurant area and a relaxed rear patio.
Drinks: They definitely make the best Spanish-style gin and tonics in LA. At $16-18, Less expensive than other cocktails in the area.
Come here if you want a great overall experience.”
“Simply the best birria and pollo tacos around. I recommend the plate with birria or the burrito with chicken, my favorite choices. Must have the churros with dulce de leche sauce, so good.”
“Guest House, is the extension of Home, I believe😍 One of the best mimosas in town😘🥰”
“Yummy food and a great happy hour”
“Muy buena servicio y muy rica la comida ! Pronto regresamos 👍🏼”
“great! the bowls are kinda expensive but you get unlimited toppings so it evens out. i did get waaaay to much peanut butter and it seems they do put too much of the nut butters”
“been coming here since 2014 food is great staff is great very friendly the service is always on point I highly recommend Gus's Drive-In family friendly environment breakfast is delicious as well as lunch and dinner 💯💯💯💯💯”
“Well know the neighborhood before you go. Be vigilant.
The restaurant itself is clean and organized. There is no seating which makes a lot of sense considering my first point. Additionally they close early for a shop in our city.
You are greeted immediately with a smile by all in front of the shop.
I ordered a plain pastrami sandwich and churros with sugar on the side. The pastrami sandwich glistened in between two toasted buns. The sandwich is very tasty with a slight lean toward salty. It's not so smoked or peppery. I added juice from the yellow peppers and a little mustard at home. It didn't make a difference.
They didn't provide the sugar on the side but the churros were still very delicious and chewy. I think these churros are in my top 5.
I usually have seasoning, condiments, and cinnamon sugar in the car but I didn't today.
I do think I should have eaten the sandwich and churros right away in the car.”
“Great food, everything we tried were very tasty. You order your food from kiosk, and unfortunately no alcohol served, also it’s in the sketchy part of downtown but that makes the parking easier,
since street in front of the restaurant was empty. However, food taste made up for those.”
“Our server Kevin was very nice and understanding towards our needs and questions. He was super nice and making us feel very at home and helped us decide what to eat. He even gave us his honest opinions on a lot of stuff which helped spend the best money on Chubby Cattle. I highly recommend coming here for the food, since all the meat was super good, cooked tenderly by the cooks if it comes pre cooked, the prices are good, and especially, coming here for our server Kevin.”

“Good Japanese foods , many varieties of dishes . The fish grilled sea bass is cooked just perfectly fine . The salad is kinda american Japanese fusion but still good . The carbonara noodle - I don’t really care (It doesn’t really fit with the rest of the dishes) - overall is a great place to enjoy Japanese foods”

“We are vegan and went with the Spicy Miso Ramen, it didn't disappoint. One suggestion, if you want the extra spice kick, ask for their chili oil, it really amped up the ramen overall.
Our kid enjoyed the mushroom bao too.
For parking, you can get lucky by finding a street parking behind the restaurant.”
“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”

“Tonight we, my husband and I, with our dear friends, the Crays, dined at Tomat for the first of what will be many times. The restaurant features a dining room and a roof top patio. A welcoming, comfortable space. The staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable about all menu items. Our server Miley took excellent care of us throughout dinner and dessert. She assisted us with choosing items that would pair well with each other. She was never too busy to stop to see if everything was to our liking. She brought the chef to our table so we could let him know personally how much we enjoyed his creations. He gave us a bit of background on his plan of sustainability and creativity for his restaurant. The food was amazing. We had several appetizers. The tuna carpaccio was amazing, light and dark tuna with the freshest tomatoes. The welsh rarebit was so delicious. The weiser melon with strawberry kimchi was a delicious surprise. The house milled saffron rice was amazing. Our mains did not disappoint. The trout and chips were excellent. Everyone at the table said “best trout we have ever had”. The vegetable chips were outstanding. The vaca vieja ribeye was perfectly cooked. The pork three ways with chamoy was also perfectly cooked. Dessert was madelines, warm from the oven, with the strawberry sorbet and the saffron ice cream. All were outstanding. Overall, this was a fabulous dining experience. Great food with great service in such a comfortable atmosphere. And, we have already made reservations for next month!”
“Komal is an absolute standout and exactly what a Mexican restaurant should be. In a city filled with options, it’s rare to find a spot that prioritizes true authenticity and quality at this level. Every bite is fantastic, but what really sets them apart is the salsa—it is the gold standard that every Mexican restaurant should be striving for.
You can tell they put a massive amount of care into their process, from the quality of the ingredients to the depth of flavor in their dishes. If you are looking for an authentic experience that doesn’t cut corners, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!”
“Had a fantastic dinner here last month! It’s a cozy, bar-centric spot with an amazing, lively atmosphere. The daily special when we visited was the shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The rest of the dishes we ordered were great as well. Highly recommend this place for a casual night out”

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.”
“The food was simple and amazing... actually it was simply amazing.. It really reminded me of home. They have a top notch service. Friendly and dynamic people.. Mansa was quite amazing.”
“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨❤️👨🧡”

“This place is the epitome of chic and vibe! The food is spectacular and so is the service. Their new lunch sandwich’s are fantastic, my favorite is the Chicken Pesto. The owner is always present which makes this place feel very homey and cozy. 10/10
would recommend. Head in for lunch and stay for happy hour!”
“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!”
“Such an enchanting restaurant. I went there for the second time taking my girlfriends . It was such a hit and WE all had an amazing time . The food, service and atmosphere all are superb . We all got together after a long time and the relaxed atmosphere gave us the opportunity to catch up and enjoy the food and the drinks !!!”

“Their spicy beef and leek soup was really not that good. That beef was super tough and the soup was incredibly spicy even after I’ve asked the man in the back for it to be little spicy as possible. Their other soup won gi tang was amazing, packed with plenty of beef and it wasn’t too salty. Their big soup plate won gi soo yook was really great too! The two servers in the front were super nice and the welcoming. Very nice atmosphere and we got seated right away and served with water.”
“Norms is the kind of place that reminds you why diners still matter. The bacon? Crispy. Like, perfectly engineered, science-approved crispy. The people? Friendly in that effortless, genuine way that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time through the door. It’s hands-down a better option than Denny’s or IHOP — better food, better service, and none of that “sad pancake at 2 a.m.” energy. It’s the kind of diner that actually feels alive. My only gripe? Pepsi products. I get it, contracts are contracts, but I’m a Coke person and this one hurts a little. Still, when the bacon’s this good and the coffee keeps coming, it’s hard to stay mad for long. Four stars. Swap Pepsi for Coke and we’d be talking five.”
“If you're considering having an ice cream station at your wedding or event, stop searching and book them. Seriously.
The ice cream was an absolute hit at our wedding. Throughout the night, guests kept coming back for more, talking about their favorite flavors, and raving about how fun and unexpected it was. There's something about a beautiful ice cream station that instantly brings out everyone's inner child, and Ice Cream Occasions delivered that experience.
They arrived knowing exactly what to do, where to set up, how to operate within the flow of the event, and how to serve guests efficiently. As an event professional myself, I notice when vendors require hand-holding versus when they can truly operate independently, and Ice Cream Occasions was the latter. Once they arrived, I had complete confidence that everything was handled.
To make things even more impressive, I booked them only a few days before my wedding. Despite the short timeline, their team was accommodating, responsive, and willing to customize toppings specifically for us. They never made us feel rushed or like our request was an inconvenience. Instead, they jumped in and helped make it happen.
The combination of incredible ice cream, execution and outstanding customer service made them one of the easiest and best vendor decisions we made.
To the entire Ice Cream Occasions team, thank you for bringing such a fun, memorable, and delicious experience to our wedding. You exceeded every expectation, and our guests are still talking about it. We would recommend you again and again without hesitation!!”
“This subway is the best you will find, I worked there many years ago, I am not sure that Bob remembers me. But what I know is that they are very responsible in giving the best customer service and keeping the store clean.. 1993-1999 ??? I loved working there.”
“Visiting LA this week and had a fab time at the Clark Street Diner, excellent food😋”
“Adam is the best! He has love and care over the food and customer service. The fish is extremely fresh, best handroll in LA by far, and believe I’ve tried them all! I highly recommend Azai.”

“I’d been meaning to try Maury’s for a long time and finally made it.
Everything tasted fresh and exactly what I expected from a good bagel shop. I had the Lox open and really enjoyed it.
Coffee was good too. I always wish places served a bigger cup, but it did the job.
One thing that really stood out was how fast everything was. Ordered, got my food, and was eating within minutes. I appreciate that.
There are only outdoor tables, so don’t count on getting a seat if it’s busy. Also no restroom or sink, so come with clean hands.
They also have refrigerators with juices, smoked salmon, pickles, and other things to take home.
Definitely a place I’ll come back to and try more of the menu.”
“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.”
“This place just feels like a warm hug. The interior is filled with lush plants, mismatched vintage furniture, and a very welcoming atmosphere. I tried their signature lavender honey latte and it wasn't overly sweet, just right. The baristas are super friendly and remember the regulars. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book on a rainy afternoon”
“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩”

“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.”
“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.”
“Grabbed a roti wrap to go. The place was very quiet. The service was really fast. I think it’s better for take away. And the roti wrap was really good. We got the vegetarian roti wrap. The slaw in there was perfect to cut through the richness. It wasn’t heavy and the roti wasn’t greasy. Great wrap/sandwich.”
“Budonoki is a true hidden gem. Every dish is beautifully presented, incredibly flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. The owner is warm and welcoming, and the service is thoughtful—our server even surprised us with complimentary items from the chef, all of which were outstanding.
My husband and I keep coming back and have brought clients, friends, and family, and everyone has had a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate with dim lighting, limited seating, and a relaxed vibe set to tasteful hip hop in the background.
Overall, it’s a standout spot we’re always happy to return to.”
“Celebrated my birthday in their private dining room, which was closed off from the rest of the restaurant, making it feel intimate and perfect for the occasion. The service was exceptional, and every dish was delicious. I'd love to come back to experience the main dining room—the decor and ambiance look just as impressive.”
Fine Dining
“Great spot! Very discrete on the outside, but cool Japanese aesthetic inside. Food was amazing. Recommend: Cesar Salad, Wagyu Sando, Octopus, Tartare.
Things I would pass: Uni pasta was plain, needed more flavors in it. The duck wasn’t memorable as well.
100% would recommend! Cute for a date spot too.”
“Parking/Entry: Use the Kajima building structure (address in email). Go to the 2nd-floor glass doors, then take the middle elevator to the basement.
This was my second visit to Sushi Kaneyoshi, and it remains incredible. The staff is so attentive they anticipate your needs before you even realize them. While the price point is high for a single meal, the quality is on a different level. As an average salaryman, I can say it's worth every cent. Kaneyoshi is a master, and I never tasted food the same since coming here.
These photos are from their Saturday premium reservations. There are a few dishes missing, including the 3 types of Uni nigiri - Santa Barbara, Boston, and Hokkaido.”
“Celebrated my birthday in their private dining room, which was closed off from the rest of the restaurant, making it feel intimate and perfect for the occasion.

“En Petit Trois, la cocina habla por sí sola. Tanto la hamburguesa como el pescado destacan por una técnica precisa y una ejecución impecable, donde cada elemento está en perfecto equilibrio; dos platillos memorables, difíciles de jerarquizar. Aunque no fue posible degustar la coctelería debido a la política de requerir pasaporte físico para el servicio de alcohol, la propuesta gastronómica se sostiene con absoluta solidez. Una experiencia sobria, bien lograda y digna de repetirse.”
“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!”
“A Michelin recognized restaurant that’s just perfect for a quiet evening. The atmosphere is chill and the playlist vey ear pleasing and well as the decor. Modern style design that’s chic and comfortable at the same time. We ordered the Wagyu Cheeseburger and Uni Pasta. Both of the dishes were good with flavor but the Uni pasta could’ve used a little more sauce but it’s a preference I guess. The cheeseburger came out looking like a hot mess but it delivered with flavor. The Basqu Cheesecake was the dessert we ordered and it was perfect with flavor and the presentation. Service was attentive and on point most of the time. So if you’re looking for a nice place to have a delicious bite or drinks then definitely check out this place, especially the gorgeous looking bar.”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“UPDATE: I also got a Californian sandwich to go at the suggestion of the girl working there and I just finished that one at home and now that one is my favorite too???!! My official recommendation: the Californian is a nice cold deli sandwich for a hot day, and the Smokey is a great, warm sandwich for cooler weather.
The girl working there suggested The Smokey and holy cow I think this is the greatest sandwich Ive ever had in my life.”
“As a Mexican who loves Indian food, this place immediately caught my attention. I tried the quesadilla, and while it didn’t have a traditional Mexican flavor (aside from the tortilla), it was still absolutely delicious. I also ordered the samosas, which tasted homemade and freshly prepared. Everything was flavorful, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“My Dung Sandwich Shop is absolutely amazing! Authentic Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches packed with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and perfectly balanced toppings every time. The bread is crispy and the fillings are generous. Staff are friendly and fast, and the prices are unbeatable. A true hidden gem.”
“Busy on the weekends and mornings so recommend coming here on a weekday. We came here during Wednesday for dinner and did not have to wait. They were out of the chicken rice but had everything else. You order at the front and then get a seat. They don’t do reservations so best to come with a small group of 2-3. Highlights on the menu for us we’re the French Toast and Pork Belly Rice. The French Toast was sweet with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Overall, great place with good prices and would come back!”
“I've been there with my sister a couple months ago. We had Filipino iced coffee, matcha affogato and matcha cookies. We still can't forget the flavor of the drinks. Filipino iced coffee is our core memory of our trip to USA. The best coffee we've ever tasted.”
“totally surprised me. came in with no expectations and mariano treated us to a truly memorable lunch. cannot recommend this spot highly enough. for a guy who’s lived in the area for a long time, my only regret was not coming in sooner.”
“You are my family's favorite sushi place of all time. I hope the antisemitic “wish” that was written by a customer and posted in your store was an oversight on your part and will be removed immediately.”
“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.”
“I have been coming to this restaurant from the beginning and the food is just the best. Fresh ingredients, simple recipes and wonderful atmosphere. Not to mention the deserts, they have such lovely, delicious sweets. The service is fantastic too.”
“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡”

“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.”

“I travel all over the country, eating at fantastic restaurants, and I was extremely happy with everything we received, including the iced tea. This restaurant is a must-visit when you're in L.A.! Kudos! Delicious 😋”
“It’s a place we’re like minded people can get together with their families and relax talk shop and bikes get a haircut or tattoo or just enjoy the atmosphere and watch Moto GP”
“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.”
“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.”

The slaw in there was perfect to cut through the richness. It wasn’t heavy and the roti wasn’t greasy. Great wrap/sandwich.”
“This was easily some of the best sushi I've ever had in the U.S. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, high quality, and full of amazing flavor. Yes, it was on the pricier side, but honestly, every penny felt justified. It's rare for a meal to leave such a strong impression, but this one truly stood out. From the first bite to the last, it was an unforgettable experience that I would happily pay for again.”
“Had the most amazing evening spent with my girls. Grazie mille Francesco. And that Homemade Tiramisu was to die for! Everything was perfect and felt like a small break in italy on a warm summer night”
“The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve👍👍”
“I am so happy to find such an exceptional Neapolitan-type pizza joint in Los Angeles—and only a couple of doors away from my office. I’ve been back 3 times now, and will be back again for sure! My Italian mama would have approved.”
“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.”
“Good Japanese foods , many varieties of dishes . The fish grilled sea bass is cooked just perfectly fine . The salad is kinda american Japanese fusion but still good .

“Went there twice during our 2 day trip. Biscuits are amazing. Maxie was our server, and she remembered us when we returned! She was very sweet, and the owner came out and chatted with us about the history of the restaurant.”
“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!”
“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.”
“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!”
“Food is a 4 star but the atmosphere and service were 5 stars. Group of us ordered most of the menu and everything was good but not great. Everything just lacked that punch of flavor but the standouts were the bruschetta and the ribeye with chimichurri were my favorites.”

“There is a reason this place is top 2. One of the best pizzas i have had. The crust is on point! Topping so fresh! Great service! It does get packed. Lucky we got a seat and just walk in. We will come back and try other pizzas. Well worth it! If your craving pizza this is the place to go! Came back again!”
“Loreto is consistently a great time with delicious food, great service and perfect vibes. Highly recommend. All of the dishes are so unique and flavorful, the servers and bartenders are warm and accommodating and the space is beautifully maintained with beautiful landscaping.”
“Amazing Avocado roast poached egg Amazing staff manager follow up to make sure meal was perfect amazing ambiance great location natural light”
“Another ktown classic which I’m so glad I finally got to try. Sul lung tang is such a comforting dish for me with the warm hearty soup. I got the mixed which came with brisket, flank, intestine, tripe, tongue etc, although you can customize it however you want. I topped mine with a generous helping of spring onion, seasoned with salt and paper, poured in my bowl of rice and proceeded to slurp the bowl till I could lick the bottom. Thinking about it makes me drool. Highly highly recommended!!
We got lucky and there was no wait when we arrived but by the time we were done eating, the line was out the door! Service is quick they only serve cabbage and radish kimchi for banchan.”
“En Petit Trois, la cocina habla por sí sola. Tanto la hamburguesa como el pescado destacan por una técnica precisa y una ejecución impecable, donde cada elemento está en perfecto equilibrio; dos platillos memorables, difíciles de jerarquizar. Aunque no fue posible degustar la coctelería debido a la política de requerir pasaporte físico para el servicio de alcohol, la propuesta gastronómica se sostiene con absoluta solidez. Una experiencia sobria, bien lograda y digna de repetirse.”
“Every single thing is delicious. Trying to hit the whole bingo card 🤩 Also Micheal, best server 🥇”
“Had a fantastic dinner here last month! It’s a cozy, bar-centric spot with an amazing, lively atmosphere. The daily special when we visited was the shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The rest of the dishes we ordered were great as well. Highly recommend this place for a casual night out”

“Hello: With my apology to the owner and staff of Darya Restaurant in Santa Monica I wrote a bad review about 12 days ago. It was my misunderstanding to write a bad review. In fact, It is a good restaurant (5 Star) with excellent, well made, good ambiance, and delicious food and a vast array of dishes on the menu. I must say that their portions are generous in comparison to prices. I ask people to give them a try at least once and see for themselves. I think they are going to be hooked. All branches are good and the Orange county branch has a great ambiance! Thank you Ms. Darya and your staff for your efforts. I will see you again, indeed. Wish you all the best to come!

“Sandras has the Best Tamales in L.A. When ever I bring them to work everyone loves them, even my Mother in law who is from Mexico and Picky loves them. They are MOIST and the masa is TASTY even when left in the refrigerator for weeks and then taken out to steam, they are delicious!”
“This restaurant was recommended to us by our son and daughter in law. They know we have very high expectations when we go out to dine. We usually pick apart dining experiences and end up disappointed. (Could we have made this at home and could we have done it better.). This restaurant was a wonderful exception to the rule. The food was AMAZING. The fig and roasted beet starter was delicate and tasty. The ragu fettuccine was flavorful and perfectly seasoned. My husband's rib eye steak was melt in your mouth tender and grilled perfectly. We splurged and got two desserts, the chocolate mousse and the date pudding. Both were very good, though I preferred the date pudding with it's delicate caramel sauce. The service was excellent. (Kudos Lilia). The only down side was the noise level. There is sufficient space in the ceiling for sound dampening insulation. They should seriously consider installing some..”
“I found them on Yelp with a 4.5 rating and said I'm gonna try this place. I ordered a combo of catfish filet and oysters with fries and macaroni salad. The food was fresh, tasted great and plentiful. And I couldn't finish my meal because it was so much food. I highly recommend this place. The service was good also. I finally found my new go-to fried fish spot. Maybe I'll trying the orange roughy or lobster fried the next time. And don't forget the tartar sauce. It's off the chain, not that packaged stuff like some other places have.”

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.”
“Maybe my favorite restaurant in LA. Everything was delicious. Had a roasted chicken from their temporary menu that was the best I've ever had. Orecchiette was rich and tasty. Fett'unta was great. We tried a couple types of cheeses and wines and those were great as well.”
“we were visiting universal studios in LA from the UK and being 2 vegetarians, we were a bit unsure on how our hot dogs would taste. we needn't of worried. with all the toppings or without, the veggie sausage was awesome! also, being from the UK, I queried what funnel cake was to our server, as I had seen it a few times in LA. he explained and it sounded interesting, so I said if I had room afterwards, I may try it. whilst eating our meal the lovely server bought 1 over to try for free! super nice food and the staff are the icing on the cake. highly recommend for something quick and filling and reasonably priced on the universal city walk.”

“Great vibes. Bartenders and staff are fantastic. Definitely would come back again - the cocktails were creative and balanced. We tried the hamachi (yum) and steak frites (okay, but not our favorite version). The chimichurri flavor was a little off from what expected from a standard chimichurri.”
“We stopped for drinks and dessert. It was a great experience. They sat us right away and our server Travis was friendly and very attentive, from suggesting wines that fit our pallet to making sure we were not needing anything. Midwest gals are happy to have found this gem!”
“Just go here. They are amazing. Best omakase sushi in LA. The concept is fantastic, service is even better, and they genuinely understand what makes sushi good.
Honest criticism: The tamago was a bit subpar against how amazing the rest was. Secondly some may be off put by the slightly cold lighting, yet I think they are wrong in such an assessment. Sure it isn’t perfect for Instagram but it highlights the food better.”
“Amazing experience at Night on Earth! The atmosphere was unique and enjoyable, the food and drinks were excellent, and the service was friendly and professional. Everything was well prepared and the overall experience was unforgettable. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place.”
“Met two friends (we are 43-60) here for dinner tonight and we had a lovely time. We came early at 5:15, we had one of each of the skewers, the salmon curry and the sprouted cauliflower. We thoroughly enjoyed it all.
Certain songs felt a little loud but mostly the music was fine for chatting. Service was excellent. Look forward to returning!”
