“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.”
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 🏝”
“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.”
“Very clean, fresh and delicious! We will definitely come back! People are polite and it’s a great environment to relax while enjoying delicious Spanish dishes.”
“Yummy food and a great happy hour”
“Guest House, is the extension of Home, I believe😍 One of the best mimosas in town😘🥰”
“Muy buena servicio y muy rica la comida ! Pronto regresamos 👍🏼”
“Friendly service. I'm not a big smoothy buyer so I needed some guidance and struck out but that's on me. By the way, one of the nicest restrooms of an establishment that I've ever seen.”
“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 💯💯💯💯💯”
“This is the kind of burger spot that feels like it actually has some personality behind it. The food is simple in the best way: burgers, fries, tenders, loaded fries, and the kind of stuff you want when you’re hungry and don’t feel like overthinking it. I like that it has more of a neighborhood feel instead of trying too hard to be trendy. The portions are solid, the menu has good options, and it feels like a place that cares about putting out fresh food. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area and want a real burger.”
“Visiting LA this week and had a fab time at the Clark Street Diner, excellent food😋”

“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”
“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”
“We had a wonderful time. We kicked off my hubby's birthday with great food, wonderful vibes and incredible service!! My husband could not stop raving about the eggs! We literally came back for the biscuits. I hate that I don't remember our waitresses name because she was so sweet and attentive. She was also kind enough to bring us a complimentary round of champs and mimosas!! This is our second time coming in and the service is not only consistent, it keeps getting better!”

“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!”
“A tiny Portuguese restaurant in cypress park owned by a really nice guy, Mike Santos. Now it is small, but it is great. It is always super clean and they have great Portuguese food. We just love it. Whenever we are near there we stop for dinner.
You can make reservations or just walk in. It is not usually too long a wait. There is a lot of comfortable outdoor seating which is great. They play great music and now and again they have live music.
Their bread is the best. I could just have that and be happy, but I always get their pork because it is just perfect.
Start with their WEISER FARMS SUGAR CUBE MELON. It is so tasty.
Their ARROZ DE PATO CONFIT DUCK LEG, with BOMBA RICE, SOFRITO, CHORIZO, and DUCK CRACKLINGS are so good and they give you a large portion. You can share or take extra home. Their SUMMER EGGPLANT, with SCALLOP VINAIGRETTE, AGED CHEESE and PEPITAS, SUNGOLD TOMATO is so good.
There is nothing you will not like. They have nice selection of beer and port as well. Have fun.”
“I went to the Tonchin location in New York late last year, so I came into the Los Angeles location excited and with high expectations. The food was good overall. My wife did not quite understand the hype around it, but I personally thought it was solid, even though it did not stand out as much as the New York location.
Where the difference between the two locations stood out the most was in customer service. We had to wait nearly twenty minutes just to receive the check, and throughout the meal the server rarely came by to check on us. Because of this, the overall experience at the Los Angeles location fell short of what I experienced in New York.
I do recommend the regular tonkotsu ramen and the buns”
“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.”
“Conrad the owner knows what he is doing here. He deserves ⭐. I hope he gets one day.
Food is top tier and his choice to bring the food to you and in order so you get perfect temperature is subtle and appreciated.
Made to order tortillas should be the standard.
I'm just upset I didn't find this place sooner and it was so good. I almost forgot to take a pic of the tacos 🌮”
“Absolutely fantastic. The best farm-to-table concept I've ever experienced. Extremely clean flavors: the quality of the ingredients shine through in every dish.
The Pastry chef is a standout: the truffle snd lemom pot de creme were the best i have ever had. Definitely get dessert.”
“One of my favorite places, everything they do is well executed, and the staff are equally kind and personable. My last experience in particular where I ate at the bar was oddly especially warm and welcoming, where I got to chat with a really cool staff member named Reed, who apparently not only makes the drinks, but bakes delicious cookies they currently serve with one of their cocktails (The Hot Toddy, if you're curious).
It's also some of the best tongue meet (on the Skewers section) that I've ever had; if you're a fan, I highly recommend getting one of those at minimum!”
“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨❤️👨🧡”
“I had a wonderful experience at Roots Indian Bistro. I reached quite late, even after closing hours, but the staff still welcomed and accommodated me so warmly without making me feel rushed at all.
The food was excellent, and to top it off, they even served complimentary kheer, which was such a thoughtful gesture. What stood out the most to me, though, was the hospitality. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, and one of the owners personally came over to check if everything was good and whether I was enjoying the meal.
Good food is memorable, but genuine hospitality is what truly makes a place special — and Roots absolutely excelled at that. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for not just great Indian food, but also an incredibly warm dining experience.”

“Came for wine and snacks before a bigger dinner, but I’d love to come back for a full meal because what we had was so good. Highly recommend the Caesar tartare (perfect crunch to the bread, plus it is pre-cut into bite size chunks) and lobster rilette.
Cute vibe inside with center bar and cozy dining room seating.”
“We had an amazing experience at Good Clean Fun! We reserved the patio for a small work event. The space was so nice. The food was delicious. I loved the pizzas, honestly some of the best I've had. Their wine selection is great, and they make a great Hugo Spritz.
Also, I have to shoutout Hunter! She was an incredible server. She was so kind, attentive, and flexible when our plans changed.
I wish I lived in LA just to be able to come here regularly! I'm looking forward to coming back whenever I visit.”

“Kevin was the first server in a good restaurant in my life that was attentive and not annoying.
Always there when you need him. Helped select every item and spent time to explain how we can save on each visit.”

“Delicious and fast tacos. The restaurant knows what they are doing. The lines moved so fast and I got me food within 5 minutes. They have complementary potatoes which is awesome since they help with the spicy of the spicy salsas. They also have a self serve salsa and topping bar which is my favorite so I can generously garnish and drench my tacos in salsas. We realized this was a really popular spot in this area because it was already 12 am and this place was still really packed. Really delicious and authentic tacos, will definitely come back again.”
“One of if not the best Korean restaurants I been to. Food came out real fast and was very filling and tasted great! Service was amazing, Ken really did a great job in helping to serve us, helped with giving us recommendations, brought extra side dishes quickly, and was very nice & funny as well! Will definitely be back for more!”
“It was late in the evening (past midnight) and we waited for over 45 minutes for our food, but the order came out wrong. The older lady with short curly hair was very rude and disrespectful. The only reason I am giving it a 5 star 🌟 is because of Jerome. He was very sincere, apologized and made it right.”
“All The Staff Friendly and Close Where I Live. Double Awesome! Having My Triple Cali XL Special Order if You Are on Carnivore/Keto Diet (Cali XL No 2 Large American Slice Cheese and Lettuce Wrap Substitute Hamburger Buns) is The Secret Modded Carnivore and Keto Style Burger or Any Burger on The Carl's Jr Menu if You Don't Want To Break Your Diet. oh Coke Zero is Available Here But I Cheated To with Fries and Half Coke Zero and Half Cherry Coke. Happy Carnivore/Keto Diet or Health Diet and Merry Christmas ⛄🎁 🎄and Happy New Year's 2026 🎉🎊🎆🎇”
“Ice Cream Occasions was such a fun and unique addition to our event! The ice cream cart looked great and added a nostalgic touch, and the selection of treats was perfect. The staff was super friendly and made everything really easy, from booking to setup. It definitely made the day feel extra special, and I’d totally recommend them for any party or event.”
“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.”
“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.”
“5 stars for the delicious and high quality sushi. plus i have a gluten allergy and the chef/ server was super considerate and knew exactly what needed to be modified. my favorites were the bluefin tuna nigiri and the yellowtail hand roll (with soy paper), and i don’t typically like yellowtail.
however, i did not realize there was a 16% service fee included in the bill. it says so on the menu so that’s my oversight but at kazu nori, for example, the server tells you not to tip because of the service fee. so on the little screen i tipped 20% on top of the 16% service fee and tax. it’s my bad for not paying closer attention but they don’t verbally tell you either.”
“I brought a small group to Meteora to celebrate a special achievement. The experience exceeded expectations in every way possible! The food was outstanding, with some really creative presentations. The service was absolutely impeccable ... the staff are all so personable and helped accentuate the overall experience. And the atmosphere/setting was truly unique.
I've eaten at numerous Michelin star restaurants in my life, including quite a few triple stars. This overall experience was among the best of my life, and was the very best for several of my guests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

“The first time I came here, I got the No.8 and wasn’t a huge fan - I personally felt the toppings were overwhelming and I didn’t like the flavors together, BUT I could taste how amazing the everything bagel was underneath. The dough was soft and chewy and it was actually salted well which in my experience, is pretty rare. So I came back and this time just got butter and scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel so I could taste the bagel more on its own, and it was amazing. The bagel is genuinely so good you can eat it on its own, which is not something I can say for most bagel places I’ve been too. The scallion cream cheese is also genuinely amazing, it’s super light and fluffy and delicious. From now on my go to order is everything bagel with scallion cream cheese on the side so I can enjoy it plain and with the CC.
Also every single staff member I’ve met has been incredibly kind, genuine, and helpful, it’s nice to come to a place that people seem genuinely happy to work at and be a part of. And who knows, you may like the No.8 (I hear it’s popular!) it just wasn’t for me.
(And yes, this is better than every bagel I’ve had during the time I lived in NYC.)”
“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.”
“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.”
“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Excellent! Totally lives up to the hype. Every dish we had was delicious but the salmon sushi, sweet potatoes and salmon collar were the standouts for me. Only thing I think they could work on is the space— tables set between breaks in the booth, air conditioning that turns the food cold quickly, blindingly bright neon lights. It could just be a bit more comfortable. Still, highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I waited a year to come here from the east coast, and it was worth the wait. From the food to the atmosphere, I felt like I was in another dimension with the unique take on regional cooking styles to the sound quality of the music. You could taste the freshness in the ingredients — even the cheese in the dessert was clearly homemade and freshly made. This is such a unique and special place. Thank you for a wonderful experience. This was the best food I had in a long time.”
“The food here is amazing and the atmosphere is charming. So far I’ve had the Reuben, the Italian, the French Philly dip and they have all been amazing!
Great spot for lunch, and a hack for flights or road trips. Grab a cold sandwich before your travels to eat later”

“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!!”
“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.”
“I’ve been coming to Kenbey every week for the past couple months and it genuinely hasn’t missed once. The fish is the freshest I’ve had in the States since eating sushi in Japan, and I don’t say that casually.
I always get the tuna and salmon specials because I truly can’t resist — the seared toro and the salmon with the yuzu truffle are the best bites of sushi I’ve ever had. Every single time.
For my birthday I did the Omakase solo and sat at the bar, and watching the chef work was a work of art. Their classic miso soup was already my favorite, and then the crab miso came with the Omakase and I genuinely don’t know how I’m ever not going to order that now. The ice cream finished it off perfectly — denser than what you’re used to, almost mochi-like. The chef talked me into it and I’m so glad he did.
The staff is warm and attentive in a way that actually feels natural, not performative.
Kenbey is such an underrated hidden gem and I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about it. It’s my new neighborhood spot.”
“Absolutely exceptional.
The experience at Q Sushi was as close to dining in Japan as I have had anywhere. The quality of the fish was extraordinary, with authentic sushi flown in directly from Japan and prepared with precision, restraint, and deep respect for the ingredients.
Every piece felt intentional. Perfect temperature, perfect balance, no excess, no distraction. This is sushi for people who truly love sushi, not rolls dressed up with sauces, but pristine fish, expert knife work, and impeccable rice.
The pacing of the meal, the calm confidence of the chefs, and the quiet elegance of the space made it ideal for a meaningful conversation. It was refined without being pretentious, memorable without trying too hard.
If you appreciate authenticity, craftsmanship, and the feeling that nothing was compromised, this is a standout. Easily one of the best sushi experiences I have had.”
“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.”
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.”
“Great banh mi sandwich in Chinatown especially for the price ($6). I certainly would not have discovered it if it weren't for yelp, as the location is certainly no frills and small and easy to miss if you are not looking for it. Note that the place is cash only and there is no place to eat it, so don't plan on coming here if you wish to dine in.
Tip: Also not too far from the China Town Metro Station (A-Line) if you want to walk from there.”

“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

“Great food , excellent customer service and friendly I will stop by all the time, because food are delicious 🤤”
“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.”

Love the vintage bikes and general vibe of the place…a veritable oasis in the heart of the city!”
“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 😋”

“The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve👍👍”
“This sushi place is the best in town.
Raw tuna has an absolutely superb taste. It’s of great quality and has a high turnover rate, ensuring that you can always enjoy fresh sushi. However, one unfortunate aspect is that we don’t take reservations, which means we have to wait for at least 20 minutes.”
“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”
“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.”
“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.”
“This place is a true gem and I love shopping there for all my sushi and Japanese food and sake amazing selection and excellent service! If you enjoy fresh sushi fish that are reasonably priced then you most definitely must check out this gem!!! Also they teach lessons that sell out quickly so you must sign up for their monthly news email that gives you so much information about all that they do!”
“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.”
“Straight 🔥🔥🔥
1. Quality meat
2. Fresh
3. Delicious
4. Great customer service
Quite impressed. Will be back.”
“I tried the chicken roti, a couple of pasties and the key lime pie; everything was absolutely superb! Each item was extremely flavorful and full of depth. I can’t wait to come back and try more items.”
“The oven and heat is as essential an ingredient as the rest. Amazing staff who know everything you need to know for a great meal. Starts with the pie that helped cement their legacy but everything is amazing. And the Caesar is about the best in the city.”
“Amazing Avocado roast poached egg Amazing staff manager follow up to make sure meal was perfect amazing ambiance great location natural light”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“price has gone up over the years but being the best, still worth it every damn time. just am not able to eat here as often as before but still the best in America!”
“myself & wife called in without a reservation Sunday evening, Had a beautiful meal in a very busy and friendly place our waitress Tamera was absolutely awesome friendly and gave great recommendations for us being from England helping with menus information highly recommended 5 star June 2025”
“Conrad the owner knows what he is doing here. He deserves ⭐. I hope he gets one day.
Food is top tier and his choice to bring the food to you and in order so you get perfect temperature is subtle and appreciated.
Made to order tortillas should be the standard.
I'm just upset I didn't find this place sooner and it was so good. I almost forgot to take a pic of the tacos 🌮”
“One of my favorite places, everything they do is well executed, and the staff are equally kind and personable. My last experience in particular where I ate at the bar was oddly especially warm and welcoming, where I got to chat with a really cool staff member named Reed, who apparently not only makes the drinks, but bakes delicious cookies they currently serve with one of their cocktails (The Hot Toddy, if you're curious).
It's also some of the best tongue meet (on the Skewers section) that I've ever had; if you're a fan, I highly recommend getting one of those at minimum!”
“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.”
“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.”
“What a discovery!!! Trattoria Daly is great! In fact it's a real "find" in Lincoln Heights-- just east of downtown but totally convenient. So nice to be in a non-corporate friendly setting in a restaurant run by great people who care about their customers and are proud of what they offer. This neighborhood gem will attract foodies and friends and harkens the beginning of a mini-restaurant row near downtown, Keck Hospital, Dodger Stadium, among other neighborhoods in various directions. The owners were for many years part of the team at Pacific Dining Car-- these guys are well acquainted with high end service and food. What they've established in the past six months, is a friendly local spot with top quality food and service-- for unbelievably reasonable prices. The bill of fare is Italian-- excellent starters, super pastas, and entree's like rib-eye steak, salmon. You can also do a simple pizza night-- or make it a special occasion. I've spent a LOT of time in Italy, and I'm picky about Italian food. This is an excellent kitchen! The general atmosphere is like a "discovery" of that little off the beaten track gem. But word must have gotten out-- when we dined there on a Sunday night, the place was hopping! The visible to the house skilled kitchen was keeping up with the crowd of happy diners. Two decades of Pacific Dining Car (which didn't survive covid) made these guys the pros they are. You shouldn't have to "sell a kidney" to eat well-- and this place is proof. They are in process and waiting for their liquor license -- but you can bring your own vino-- (or pick up something at the Smart & Final down the street.) It's great to see professionals who are really good guys stir up the right ingredients-- warmth, welcome, excellent food, and outstanding service, and ample evidence that the American dream is still alive. Can't wait to go back!”

“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.”
“Everything was great but the music. They only played Country music— it was really confusing. I understand in Brazil country music is very popular but that is discounting that there really isn’t an established market for country music in Brazil (or at the very least not as established as here in the U.S.) while I can appreciate the cultural difference in playing only country music I think some contextual awareness would go a long way. If I’m coming to a BRAZILIAN steakhouse at the Beverly Center, some Brazilian music is would be far more appreciated than Country music. Not to dismiss the cultural significance this music may have in Brazil, but if I want to hear Country music I can find that easily. I think the bar/restaurant would really benefit from playing music that immerses LA natives (who often have little exposure to Brazilian music) in the music of Brazil than any benefit that can be derived from a Brazilian Restaurant playing Country music.”
“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.”
“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”
“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!”
“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.”

“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!

“I ordered the BLT with Bacon and a strawberry arugula salad. Let me tell you that was the best BLT and salad I have ever had! The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were very friendly and quick to serve. I can't wait to go there again! Thank you for your wonderful service!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Absolutely fantastic Mexican food! Some of the best I have had in Los Angeles, which is a very high bar! I had the Carne Asada and enchilada, and it was perfection, as were the guacamole and chips. There were five of us and everybody’s dishes were so delicious. The mole tasted as good as the mole I’ve had in different places in Mexico. Our waitress was also super friendly and very nice. Will absolutely be back here multiple times! Parking in back. And a huge tequila bar!”
“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.”

“Came here on a Wednesday to check it out & had a nice experience. The host & manager make sure that everyone that walks through the door can at least order a beverage while they wait. Very attentive & brought me a menu while I waited for a seat at the bar. Early was great, took my drink order & found me when it was ready (I ordered the Mango). My cocktail wasn’t something I would normally order but still enjoyed it. Once I snagged a bar stool, I ordered the hamachi crudo & WOW. It was perfectly tart, spicy, herbaceous & the pistachios provided a nice crunch to the delicate texture. I finished my visit with a gin & tonic which was excellent. I believe they may make their tonic in house & was perfectly balanced & a refreshing way to end the night. Bartender could have been a little more attentive after I paid (halfway through my g&t), I debated ordering another drink but decided not to after she didn’t come back to me. Overall great experience though. Highly recommend calling ahead or arriving early.”
“Delicious from start to finish. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Burrata, Meatballs, Pork Belly, and tiramisu, and everything was excellent—well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The meatballs were especially memorable, and the tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal. Add a little burrata to a bite of the meatballs for a perfect bite.
The wine selection complemented the food beautifully. They were also very accommodating when we needed to adjust our reservation time, which we appreciated.
Service struck the right balance—attentive without being overbearing. Claudia was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience even better.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely be back.”
“Four of us came or a special treat. The cocktails were delicious. We got another round. We were having the best time,
I only have one complaint, although it is a significant one. I have never been in a restaurant where the food was removed from the table, even though I was not finished.
I understand it was a Friday night and they were very busy, but It was pretty amazing when I was there only person eating when all the other plates have been cleared In an effort to get us out of the booth!”
“LOVE !!! such a cute persian cafe. so many lovely persian and persian inspired dishes. u HAVE to get the lavashak smoothie and the amoo palmer (it has orange blossom and a special mix by the owner). everyone working there is so friendly. shoutout eileen for helping with my first time here and being so kind!”
“Such an excellent bakery. Can't wait to go back and get more bread and try the different fruit pies. Found this as it was part of the Los Angeles bakery walk event. This is a hidden gem you want to stop at. The coffee drinks have also been excellent.
Nice assortment of gummy bears and they have birthday candles in case you need them for a special event. Very close to downtown culver city, and Kaiser medical center down the street”
“Tried this spot in LA and came away really impressed. The momos were done right across the board, but the kurkure momos definitely stood out—crispy on the outside with a ton of flavor, and the cilantro mayo paired perfectly with them. We also had the chili momos, which had a nice level of heat without taking over the dish. The paneer veggie momos were fresh, well-seasoned, and really satisfying too. Overall, everything felt balanced and thoughtfully made. Definitely a place I’d come back to and try more from the menu.”
“Excellent omakase that would rival those at twice the price. The actual omakase experience started about 30 minutes after the reservation time, so... Patience. Valet parking is available, which is always great to have when you spend 2+ hours for dinner in the LA area. I wish they can bring back the ginger they had about a year ago. That was some darn good ginger”
