“Good food. We ordered the chicken Cesar salad, pepperoni pizza and truffle pizza.The first two were very delicious. The brie-truffle pizza was simply alright.But lets talk about that homemade giant cinnamon roll though …. I’d drive all the way there to satisfy that craving any day!The cappuccino was good too. First time in LA I found a decent capp, I usually order cappuccinos and end up with lattés !The location is perfect, overlooking the water. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Our waiter was friendly and fantastic. The venue itself is very cool. But cool in temperature too. The whole front of the place is open with no wall and we had to keep our jackets on the whole time. The food was very tasty and we loved the trio of guacamole. The filet tacos were too smokey flavored. We finished with the flan and it was amazing. Big enough to share!”
“Decent atmosphere, kinda dark and fairly loud. Food was over all good. The meatballs were good, but nothing crazy. The ricotta wip was a good addition to them and the bread was good and crispy. The mushrooms lasagna was absolutely over powered by the balsamic and wayyyy too sweet. The egg pizza was delicious from the dough to the toppings. The desserts however were best described by my friend as grocery store desserts. Tiramisu was ok, missing half a layer... Strawberry shortcake a hard pass. Neither worth it imo.”
“A special experience that you pick the food materials yourself, watch cooks fry it on a big flat platform. Taste is ok. You can't blame it as all the materials picked by yourself ?.”
“Go inside and a you’ll be magnetized. The setting is pleasing, comfortable and elegant. There are tables of differing sizes depending on party size. The barista was great- he made me a wonderful matcha w honey drink that was delicious. The food was great. French omelette is yum. Loved the service”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“My go-to place for sushi when I happen to be in LA. There are no reservations, so you typically have to wait, but for not a lot of time. They have the right match of service people to tables and their system works well. The fish is always fresh and the tip is a flat rate on the bill at 16%. It’s a pretty small place, so probably not good for groups larger than 6 or with picky eaters (this is a sushi restaurant and doesn’t have too much else). The only ding is the their app sometimes calls you for your table too early and you have to wait in the restaurant before they call you back up.”

FISHBAR
“Solid neighborhood seafood-focused pub-style restaurant. Island style, Tommy Bahamas vibe decor, lots of TVs, but not intrusive. Table and booth seating and lots of bar seats. We have been for early dinner twice and do not miss their happy hour or Taco Tuesday! Great prices on apps and drinks. We love the Coconut Shrimp and Chipotle Calamari.”
“I honestly get so excited about the bacon cheddar biscuits here! I could rave about all the other dishes that I’ve tried… But I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that I only go here for the biscuits ha ha. I love this place!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Well it lived up to the hype. From one chef to another..bravovery well executed. Took a little long to get my food, and I would want a little more sauce and ramen and..ok fish too for the $48 it costs...but that sauce was amazing...some spicy fish tomato sauce or something whatever it was it was bomb. The desserts look tempting...Definitely some of the best food I've had for a while. I'll be back for sure..hopefully with a group so I can taste all their dishes.”

“Good upscale “fast food”. The manager, Sandro was attentive, even though this is a fast food restaurant. Unique vegetarian options as well as unique takes on traditional dishes. Atmosphere is better than a fast food restaurant.”

“Excellent breakfast and great coffee/au lait. A HUGE menu with even more options/specials posted around the space. Blueberry bacon pancakes were exactly my style. If you love the fruit, bacon, pancakes, egg yolks and syrup all in the same bite - this is the dish for you!”
“Food was delicious and served quickly; service was excellent; location convenient; and despite not having space to accommodate a stroller inside, they made it work. The only downside was that it was really noisy indoors, but otherwise great!”
“We ordered 3 dishes. The portions were good and they taste fresh. The French fries were average, they weren't bad or particularly good. All in all, the place is a bit on the pricier side, but you definitely get your money's worth. The portions are generous, and the quality is worth it for sure.Kid-friendliness: They have coloring kit for kids.”
“Arthur J has been the staple go-to restaurant for me and my husband everytime we celebrate a new promotion, new job, raise, etc. We always invite out another couple to dine with us to celebrate, and the past two times (including tonight) was a bit of a disappointment. We have always ordered the tomahawk steak the past 4-5 times we've dined here, and tonight it was so fatty that there were probably only 16 oz of edible meat... from a 40oz steak. I know the bone is included in the weight, but I really could not see this Tomahawk feeding two people. I wish I had taken a photo of the Tomahawk because I really couldn't believe how small it looked. One of the entire end pieces was pure fat. Literally maybe a tiny sliver of meat (think like the size of a dime) on a 3x3" piece of fat. I did a brief perusal of the Yelp photos of the Arthur J Tomahawk to check my recollection of previous versions of the Tomahawk we had and yeah, the piece we got tonight did not look like anything from the Yelp photos or from our previous experiences. I rarely update Yelp reviews, but tonight's experience was just such a steep, stark contrast to the first time we dined here so many years ago. The first time we dined here, we ordered the Tomahawk and the manager came out and said the chef overcooked it, so he was embarrassed and refused to serve it so he let us choose anything else on the menu for free. Our party was shocked, we hadn't asked for any freebies. But that experience has always stuck out because it showed us how much Arthur J valued the quality of their product and service. In stark contrast to that first experience, I just can't believe how far downhill the standards have gone. I never like to just completely overlook the good parts in a review so here's the good: service was friendly albeit slightly slow, sides were good- especially the beef fat fries. I also like being able to pay the check on my phone.”
“Oh my goodness what a hidden gem!Stunning pastries and lovely French sandwiches. Besides the things Americans might expect at a French bakery they have a diversity of more classic French treats and some experiments that' say "Californie" to me such as the double chocolate croissant which is a lovely even deep brown, every crumb of it -- had to buy that to share with my dad. The relaxed sunny vibe locates this shop right between Manhattan Beach snd, I dunno, Saint Tropez. If you are South Bay bound worth the trek. I'm jazzed to have a bag of their goodies to go.The cappuccino tastes French. Magnifique.”

“Definitely a 5/5 experience overall.My wife and I ordered:- Mushroom Choriqueso: the chips it came with were freshly delicious. The size of the bowl the dip came in was just right. The dip was not too oily. Also came with a small salsa, though it needed something more solid in it.- Dos Gringas (al pastor tacos): the highlight were the tortillas - perfection! Lots of meat. Lots of delicious sauce though a bit too much- Mexican Kale Salad: I’d say this salad is more American than Mexican. For my wife this dish was perfect though for me it was too subtle, though still very good- El Verde mocktail - perfection & refreshing. Try it- Chef Jose’s flan with rompope - seriously the best flan ever. You can taste the alcohol from the rompope, which complements the flan. A serious must try!Our server was great, though they overall were grabbing our old dishes too quickly. The place has nice private booths.”
Outdoor Dining
“It’s a worthy dive bar with a frigging delicious hamburger. We went for the atmosphere having walked by on our vacation to Manhattan Beach and had to go back. If you love an authentic old bar and are happy with a great cheeseburger and chips and can overlook a sticky table and a bit scary bathroom situation, this is your spot. A breath of fresh air from our usual bougie eating in South Bay. Did I mention the burger was delicious??”
“I had the trout dish, spinach and mash potatoes. I would've given it five stars, but the flavor was a bit unseasoned. However, it was perfectly cooked and fresh. I would of course return and try more things! My mentor had the French toast dish, we came here on her mention and it was wonderful. We saw outside and could see the ocean from our view - the overall ambience was incredible. I seen a sign saying that it was open all night and I think that is really awesome! I can't wait to return. (:”

“Hi Ruthie! Here's a 5-star review for your favorite Italian restaurant: I absolutely love dining at Nando! The authentic Italian food transports me right back to Italy with every bite. The ambiance is cozy and inviting. The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming everytime we dine there. I highly recommend trying their gnocchi- it's my favorite item on the menu. Local insider tip - the family style lasagna for takeout is absolutely delicious and incredibly reasonably priced!”
“Stopped in for a couple of happy hour drinks and apps. The outdoor patio seating was nice. The atmosphere was great. The drinks were pretty good, but more on the sweet side.We had the fries and wings, both of which were pretty good.The service was ok, but both the bartender and our server seemed very annoyed of everyone. Maybe just a bad day.”
“First time here an was not disappointed at all. From the staff to the owners coming to check on our table from food, drinks an conversations. Now let's get to the food, AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT PRESENTATION Tto the EXCELLENT TASTE. Thank you for a great evening an OUTSTANDING FOOD AN SERVICE. We will be back, if you haven't been here you need to. Trust me you'll be amazed an will be coming back. See y'all next time”
“St. Louis fav: toasted ravioli ***** Came for the St Louis classic but absolutely loved the staff and pizza. Wish it was a little more roomy and bigger tables but everything else is perfect.”
“Amazing service, good vibes, chips and salsa were really nice. We ordered vegetarian tacos and vegetarian wet burrito. Those were filling but tasted okay and not so flavourful.”
“My daughters (4-7) were spellbound by the “inside / outside at the same time” space. And I absolutely loved the plant filled atmosphere. Food was above average too! The one hiccup was that we ordered a flavoured coffee flight & they were all iced! Wife said she knew, but I didn’t catch that they weren’t hot coffee. So people really like cold coffee?? (Wife loved them. I know I’m the weird one.)”
“Lovely patio and fun vibe at this beautiful beachy themed boutique hotel. They could definitely boost their vegan options and alcohol-free menu, but it’s otherwise solid.”
“(Translated by Google) Crepes truck run by French people. Great location on weekends. Excellent pancakes. I highly recommend! (Original) Camion de crêpes tenu par des français. Super emplacement le we. Excellentes crêpes. Je recommande chaudement !”
“Food was delicious. Had the short ribs and the chocolate mousse! The mousse was one of the better ones I’ve ever tasted. We were in a private room for an event and the service was flawless. Great looking place!”
“You never know who you are going to run into here. My personal favorite thing about this place is the touch tunes volume is loud so you can really bump those tunes!”
“This is a great place for grab and go. It would be nice to have seating but they do have some outside. I didn't try the coffee but I got a breakfast burrito. It was tasty and the salsa was really good. But it felt like there could have been a bit more filling and it was a bit burnt. Service was friendly. Meter parking is across the street.”

“Evelyn was absolutely amazing!! The menu was just ok, it didn't offer a lot of variety but the food itself was pretty good. The service was next level!! She was attentive, checked in often and went above and beyond. My husband and I celebrated our 16-year anniversary and she even surprised us with a delicious dessert. Thank you!”
“This place is absolutely amazing, It is right by my house and extremely walking distance! I have been going here for years and the employees are my favorite all time.”
“Sushi was excellent, service was top-notch, staff was friendly. Only thing I would say knocked it down a rating was the calamari appetizer could have used a bit more flavor but I am being very picky. Still finished the whole thing! Not from the area but if I come back, I would go back here. They played electronic music, which I personally love, but can see how some folks may not like the vibe because of the music.”
“I can’t say enough about Lido! I personally love the food, atmosphere and staff. I have also had several events in the back patio area, including a monthly Kiwanis meeting, and they are always seamless. Lisa, Carlos, Javier and the rest of the team always make sure everything runs smoothly. If you are just going to dinner or throwing a party this is a great spot!”
“When I first walked in I was a little leary as there were only a couple of tables with people at them. My opinion quickly changed as the flavor of the food and the service was really good. This is a little hole in the wall place but I would definitely go back and recommend it.”
“Excellent food and service. Our waiter and his assistant were so helpful. My Carbonara was deliscious and plenty to take home for lunch. The Magiamo salad was perfect. We loved the ambience of the cellar.”
“Great location, just blocks from the ocean. Great drinks, great food, great service, great value. Best for business dinners as the ambiance is California cool, without the smash crowds, easy for meaningful conversations.”
“Maybe Valentine's Day dinner is not the best time to write a review but... Food: Main courses were 50/50 - mussels were fresh and yummy; the coq au vin chicken was dry and a tad over cooked but the vin sauce was tasty. The deviled eggs appetizer was disappointing as it tasted like it was made the day before. Service was solid and attentive. The interior needs some sound dampening as the main dining area is way too loud. You have to almost yell to carry on a conversation because everyone is doing the same.”
“We had lunch.I got the steak tri tip Cobb. Was ample. Didn't skimp on the steak and didn't overcook it. I also mooched some mushroom pizza . Was a good hand toss. Although a service at the counter place, the server checked in with us and served us another drink round. Imagine the place must be loud inside based on all the hard surfaces , but we sat outside on a nice day for the ocean view.”
“Update from April 2024: Birthday lunch celebration at Joey. Place was packed on a Tuesday lunch time which seems crazy given the prices. I tried the chicken Katsu salad for the very first time. Very tasty and delicious and good amount of crunch. Especially liked the finely sliced peppers that give this sweet peanut sauce a nice kick. My companion had the ravioli bianco that came with a bunch of shrimp. It was a cream sauce based. I think it was worth it, since the plate was completely cleaned. Good attentive service.Jan 2023 review: You can always rely on Joeys high quality and tasty food. I have the poke bowl with ahi and it was amazing but not sure if it is worth $25.”
“We went on March 23, 2024We waited 5 minutes for them to give us a table for 8 people, the waiter was very friendly and bilingual, which I liked because in several restaurants they no longer want to speak in Spanish, the food was delicious, he was quick to serve, there is a refill of salad and certain drinks, a family and cozy atmosphere, even the waiter very kindly took 1 photo of us for which we thank him, excellent day!!!”
“Im super picky with pizza. But let me just say this place is beyond great. Taste is good, service was good & flavor was amazing, This is not just your ordinary pizza. It Will alway’s be my good to From now on.”
“Found Pachanga by chance visiting our nephew who flew in from Panama he was one of the pilot's he had layover till following morning. We literally drove over an hour to visit him. To take him out to eat. We drove up and down the street and found Pachanga a small little place hidden in a little shopping area. I ordered the chicken shredder it was very good the others ordered tacos which they enjoyed. If ever I return to this area. I will for sure stop at Pachanga's. Diffenetly a THUMBS UP.....”
“Had the NY Strip with a huge serving of tater tots. A wonderful grill flavor on my medium rare steak. The side of asparagus, baby carrots, and broccoli were crisp.”
“I tried their food last night for the first time. It was excellent. I had the Mulgatani Soup, Chicken Zalfrazi and Alu Vindaloo. So good and even better the next day. I wished I had ordered more Naan as the sauces are so good to dip in.”
“St. Louis fav: toasted ravioli ***** Came for the St Louis classic but absolutely loved the staff and pizza. Wish it was a little more roomy and bigger tables but everything else is perfect.”

“Little diner with all the classics. The chili cheeseburger is fantastic, though fair warning it does get messy! No frills establishment, typical diner vibes. Burgers come out fast, a little longer for fried items. Always a good meal and the folks are pleasant.”
“Ordered the lucky charms inspired ice cream and it was so good. I'm a big fan of the cereal especially the marshmallows and this ice cream flavor hit the spot. Small seating area inside with a few tables but walking distance to enjoy on the pier. Service is average.”
“Best coffee and service ! We are vacationing in Hermosa and found this gem of a coffee place . Staff is super friendly , decaf espresso is best I’ve ever head, and the vibe is perfect .”
“Hi-Fi is a unique coffee spot in Manhattan beach. I ordered Iced French toast latte with macadamia milk and it was really tasty and a good pick me up. Beckers bakery being in the same building is the icing on the cake because you can get a sweet pastry with your coffee! The staff are super friendly and helpful and they'll offer suggestions if you aren't sure what to get but worth the stop in.”
“Wow. This place was just what the doctor ordered on a rainy Monday! Amazing service, wine, and bites. We loved the house wines and cheese/charcuterie. We will be making Barsha a monthly date day/night spot from here on out.”
“The pad Thai was good, although the noodles were a bit thinner than expected. The crab fried rice was also filling and delicious. However the start of the show was the mango sticky rice and the Thai iced tea!! Service was also so nice and attentive!”
“This place was very close to where I stayed in Manhattan Beach City. I had 4 meals at least every week during my stay in Manhattan Beach City.You can eat very delicious Mexican good and people are really nice in El Terasco.”
“They're this small mom and pop shop and it's really just so so cute!She's super friendly and sweet (i believe its the owner?)I wasnt that hungry but got one roll, and omg it was delicious.I def am coming back here- and knowing it's a small shop, it makes me wanna support even more.its a to go place tho i think? but just take it, walk down to the beach and have sushi by the beach. in the sand. 10/10”
“During a recent trip to Los Angeles for a conference, I found myself at Manhattan Beach with a specific craving for boba tea. After a bit of searching, I was delighted to stumble upon Preso Tea, which presented itself as the perfect spot to satisfy my thirst. The shop offers a convenient self-ordering system, which I found to be an efficient way to explore their extensive menu without feeling rushed.The ambiance of Preso Tea was immediately welcoming, with an evident devotion to creating a pleasant customer experience. I opted for the Thai milk tea, a personal favorite, and it did not disappoint. The drink struck an impressive balance of sweet and creamy, with the tapioca pearls cooked to just the right consistency. Though the names of the staff escape me, their warmth and amiable service added to the charm of my visit. Their friendliness left as much of an impression as the quality of the tea itself, rounding out a memorable boba run in Manhattan Beach.”
“Everyone at the table agreed this was some of the best sushi we had ever had! In addition to the excellent food, the service was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was very busy, some of our starters came out so fast, which was satisfying because we were all very hungry! I really appreciated that the waiter helped us pick our dishes and decide how much to order for the table. The experience from start to finish was five stars, thank you for having us!”
“If you come here for anything aside from the breakfast special, you're probably 21, killing time before your drive home from work, or trying to recapture your youth. Sharkeez has great service, great deals and good food. They have ridiculous happy hour specials. If you come at night it's a whole other story, but that's on the clientele and not the staff. The rise and shine special is a blessing.”
“This bakery is superb! The owner inclusive was able to do scones for me without adding sugar, all natural. The quality of the pastries are exceptional. I keep going back and never dissapointed.”
“I'm vegan and just walking into a taco spot its unexpected to find something delicious and also vegan but it took me 2 seconds to order such a great meal, and on top of that lots of people don't even know what really qualifies something as vegan but the cook here even made sure I knew there was milk in the guacamole when I asked for it! Saved me a stomach ache and made me want to come back again and again. But there's more!! I got take out and a lot of places now don't want you eating takeout inside but they not only let me eat it inside they also gave me water and utensils. Everything about this place screams good vibes I love it so much. If you're vegan try getting the vegetarian hard shell taco with no cheese and add grilled vegetables. And add a grilled jalapeño. It's delicious.Vegetarian options: Vegans are safe here”
“My Wife & I ate here recently. Service was awesome, then the food was extremely good. Will definitely be back next time we are in town. Such a cool surf vibe, highly recommend it!”
“I swung by here to grab a quick shake. The milkshakes are so thick & creamy. I got a large oreo milkshake & Bella got a pup cup the girl working here is soooo sweet & literally every patron too. I definitely recommend this place! It's a vibe. Parking is a little tight so I park across the from baskin Robbins in a little lot next to manhattan Torah center since I won't be more than 10 mins in & out of BR.”
“Food was delicious. Had the short ribs and the chocolate mousse! The mousse was one of the better ones I’ve ever tasted. We were in a private room for an event and the service was flawless. Great looking place!”

“Dear Taco Bell and it's employees.I would like to start off by thanking you from the bottom of my heart, how truly amazing your beefy burrito melt treated me last night. Much thanks, and prosperous future for your team.Sincerely,Sir Charles”
“Smaller size restaurant ? in Manhattan Beach, CA.I went for the breakfast special, only had 1 to choose from ? . Cashier didn't know so ,he asked ?Parking lot was small, space are tight.Ok , but not planning on going back ?”
“There was a customer rudely shouting at a cashier and complaining about not getting their food before the person behind them in line, but the cashier handled them with grace, and it made the whole experience all the more pleasantParking: There were plenty of parking spaces, and navigation around the lot was easy.”

Cheap Eats
“EVERY ice cream I've ever had from here has delivered! Seriously, there graham cracker ice cream packs more graham cracker punch than some graham cracker pie crusts I've had! How do they do that!?! My only "complaint" is the # of choices. It seriously takes me longer to decide what I'd like versus consuming whatever it is I end up with. I'd probably be better off if they had a hat I could pull a choice out of ? And please share, at least one order per two persons. The portions are ? ?”
“This place is outstanding. The staff actually get to know you, their food and drinks are delicious, and the ambience is great for working remotely or meeting people over a meal. Shout out to Uriel, the manager, for making this place feel like home for anyone that walks in!”
“Omg BEST PIZZA ever!!! So nostalgic and Bobby makes you feel like you’re truly eating with family! I started working near by and I am so happy that I found a local place to eat that taste Amazing and has the greatest vibes!!!! Regular for life <3”
“Best yellow cake and icing ever!!! I purchased a round birthday cake for my father-in-laws 80th birthday and everyone raved over it! The staff was so lovely as well.”
“They have excellent Philly Cheese Steaks! Homemade chips are bomb, as well as their tots. I got a chicken taco salad bowl last time for dinner, it really hit the spot. They serve beer and wine (no liquor), but as far as bars go, the food is great. Definitely reccomend.”
“It was really good. My first time at a Peet's so I didn't know what to expect. My coffee was made super quick and the place was clean. I asked for it to be extra hot but it was just regular temp. Other than that everything was great. I'll def. come back.”
“I have been to subways that aren't run very well but I can't say that about this one. As soon as I walked in Miguel greeted me with a smile on his face. He made my sandwich perfectly. Also the other ladies who have helped me in the past were great to. I will stop by this location more often.”
“I got oat milk cappuccino and a coffee cake muffin. The muffin and the oat milk foam were great, but the first few sips of coffee itself were too soar and bitter. The coffee lid is leaking, dripping from the cup when the lid is on.”
“Came in early morning Gabe greeted me gave me a table outside Have a great time talking to andrea she was very energetic almost scary She was very attentive of my needs for that morning breakfast meal Little pricey but would definitely try again”
“Came for lunch and I have to say this is one of the best Johnny Rockets ? I have even ate at. Great food awesome service and great atmosphere. ?? A must go to location if your near LAX or anywhere near. ???”
“Pre St Patrick's Day visit!Great prices, especially v's other nearby restaurants.Really nice service which was very efficient.I started eating my dish before taking a pic!This was a steak and shrimp dish (originally 3 or 4 shrimp) which was delish.”
“We got the 8pc sushi , baked scallop roll, masago sushi, spicy gyoza , spicy garlic albacore sushi, & a cilantro yellowtail roll. Everything was soooo yummy. Definitely have to get the spicy albacore sushi!!! It knocked our off”
“My son loves his fatburger with works. Divo, Jaylen and Isaac are the best and they always greet us with a smile. Highly recommend this fatburger location. We definitely will be back many times!”
“It's great that we can eat sushi at this price, especially in this area of high inflation. I'll have to bring my whole family for Valentine's Day this time.”
“They provide cheap and delicious tacos during my morning shifts where I don’t eat breakfast. And for that they deserve my highest praise. Thank you to the castle bar and kitchen staff for always being kind and being there to help me in times when I need a quick meal to keep me going.”
“Everyone at the table agreed this was some of the best sushi we had ever had! In addition to the excellent food, the service was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was very busy, some of our starters came out so fast, which was satisfying because we were all very hungry! I really appreciated that the waiter helped us pick our dishes and decide how much to order for the table. The experience from start to finish was five stars, thank you for having us!”
“I can’t say enough about Lido! I personally love the food, atmosphere and staff. I have also had several events in the back patio area, including a monthly Kiwanis meeting, and they are always seamless. Lisa, Carlos, Javier and the rest of the team always make sure everything runs smoothly. If you are just going to dinner or throwing a party this is a great spot!”
“If you come here for anything aside from the breakfast special, you're probably 21, killing time before your drive home from work, or trying to recapture your youth. Sharkeez has great service, great deals and good food. They have ridiculous happy hour specials. If you come at night it's a whole other story, but that's on the clientele and not the staff. The rise and shine special is a blessing.”

“When I first walked in I was a little leary as there were only a couple of tables with people at them. My opinion quickly changed as the flavor of the food and the service was really good. This is a little hole in the wall place but I would definitely go back and recommend it.”
“Best meal I've had in years. Every once in a while you stumble upon a place like this. This hits my sweet spot for a restaurant. Nothing pretentious or fancy for no reason. Just super high quality food, prepared with care and creativity. Every dish we had was excellent. Just the right balance of flavors and textures: not too salty, sweet, or strong. Everything cooked to perfection - fried mushrooms were just cooked enough on the inside but not overcooked, and perfectly crisp on the outside. The kabocha squash was the perfect texture. We loved the chunky cut cucumber dish, unique! Lobster miso ramen was so delicious and creative! Who has ever heard of that? So much I want to learn from this chef. Even the plain brown rice was perfectly prepared. You can taste the quality in the ingredients, probably local and organic. Service was perfect, just attentive enough without ever interrupting. Top 3 most memorable meals I've ever had. I get the sense the chef here could have Michelin stars if they wanted that, but have opted for a less stressful and pretentious operation. I'm so glad they chose this path. Truly fantastic experience. Had a wonderful date with my girlfriend!Dietary restrictions: Dedicated gluten free, 0 reaction.”
“The chicken strips are amazing, the chicken sandwich are amazing. I've had so far the hot honey, mild, and original. I would say that the hot honey would be the best, still need to try the other flavors. The mild was ok, it was more of the seasoning instead of a sauce which was kind of disappointing, but still enjoyable. The fries were decent, but to be fair it would've been better if I would've eaten the fries then and there instead of waiting to get home. Overall, the service is great, I ordered online and as soon as I got there it was ready for pickup. Great vegan chicken spot!”

“Plenty of free parking and close to other shops. I’ve been to this location a lot and they’re very consistent with the service and quality. I like their ordering kiosk because I usually take my time deciding what I want, everything is good! The Polar Pineapple and Mahalo Mango are delicious. They also have chips and water available for sale.”

“Il Fornaio is Sealy's a good choice. Great food, beautiful ambiance, excellent service and a very nice win selection. We went for dinner, but we also enjoy their happy hour. in addition, we have attended large events in their private rooms. It's just a great venue overall.”
“Good upscale “fast food”. The manager, Sandro was attentive, even though this is a fast food restaurant. Unique vegetarian options as well as unique takes on traditional dishes. Atmosphere is better than a fast food restaurant.”
“I got to try the things I normally order and love from sushi spots and have those same favorites but with different tasty twists from sushi roku. The calamari was surprising and yummy. The meat skewers were the highlight. One of those loud busy places so that's the service you get. The crispy fried rice with Tuna is a great idea but I question the execution but am not complaining about flavors.”
“Good food and good service means a lot to me. This CPK had both. This location is the closest to where I live so I will be returning soon. Today I had the 7" wild mushroom pizza and the barbecue chicken salad. Delicious.”
“My son and I were in the mood for food and he mentioned a place we had never been... Tacolicious. They had catered to one of his summer skate camps and so he had tried their food before. Time for Dad to give them a shot too. The location is awesome. The staff was super nice. Great vibe. Clean and quick joint. Plenty of drink options. Look, I'm a guy who gladly exchanges money for quality. And almost $8 for a taco near the ocean would work IF they weren't so small. I mean, there was more onion than protein. They left a bad taste in my mouth, no pun intended. I am an accountant and business owner and fully get the overhead deal. But this felt exorbitant. That's my only ding. A great place to meet with a guest/buddy/date for lunch. I will be back. The tacos were delicious! As were the chips. Great if the person who puts the onions on the tacos switches with the person who puts the protein on the tacos.”
“Excellent food and service. Our waiter and his assistant were so helpful. My Carbonara was deliscious and plenty to take home for lunch. The Magiamo salad was perfect. We loved the ambience of the cellar.”
“I had the trout dish, spinach and mash potatoes. I would've given it five stars, but the flavor was a bit unseasoned. However, it was perfectly cooked and fresh. I would of course return and try more things! My mentor had the French toast dish, we came here on her mention and it was wonderful. We saw outside and could see the ocean from our view - the overall ambience was incredible. I seen a sign saying that it was open all night and I think that is really awesome! I can't wait to return. (:”
“Update from April 2024: Birthday lunch celebration at Joey. Place was packed on a Tuesday lunch time which seems crazy given the prices. I tried the chicken Katsu salad for the very first time. Very tasty and delicious and good amount of crunch. Especially liked the finely sliced peppers that give this sweet peanut sauce a nice kick. My companion had the ravioli bianco that came with a bunch of shrimp. It was a cream sauce based. I think it was worth it, since the plate was completely cleaned. Good attentive service.Jan 2023 review: You can always rely on Joeys high quality and tasty food. I have the poke bowl with ahi and it was amazing but not sure if it is worth $25.”
“This is one of the best El Pollo Loco I have ever had. I had stopped going to El Pollo Loco because at other locations, they are not that clean and always have an odor. I would eat the chicken and it would upset my stomach. By chance My husband and I, stopped at this location and got the Crunchy Chicken Tacos and it was absolutely amazing. The Resuturant was clean. It did not smell and the customer service was top notch. This team today was absolutely fanstactic. You made my $18 dollars worth every dime. Thank You. We will be back.”
“Great location, just blocks from the ocean. Great drinks, great food, great service, great value. Best for business dinners as the ambiance is California cool, without the smash crowds, easy for meaningful conversations.”
“Tortillas are made fresh!!! I absolutely loved the variety of drinks and the mint limeade is a must! The horchata was fresh too! We had pollo Asado tacos and a burrito. Highly recommend for a quick bite to eat that has significantly more flavor than the other big chain taco burrito place ;)”
“Kris’s O. Is the best waiter!!! She was so helpful and attentive to our table. He made our night he was the best!. We had so much fun, and he was the best part of my birthday. Alondra at the front check in was also THE SWEETEST!”
“This is a busy beach area restaurant. Friday and Saturday nights are trendy crowds. I made reservations and was seated immediately. Ashleigh B was our server and she was attentive. She checked to see if we needed anything and how our meal. She also suggested the news cocktail for st. Patrick’s Day, the toasted grasshopper martini ?. This is a minty drink. I ordered the honey glaze salmon with rice and broccoli. My salmon and rice were tasty but the broccoli lacked flavor. The Cesar salad with grilled chicken was tasty. This restaurant has large patio with heaters and TV’s. We came for happy hour and to watch March Madness. Parking on Fridays and Saturdays can be a challenge. All of the parking is meter parking. It gets crowded fast. Here’s a tip…. Sunday’s parking is free.Parking: Sunday’s party is free”
“My photos don't render justice to the meals and ambiance we had. We were referred there from Antonio to try that place and it was worth it. All the plates served on our table were excellent. Felt like home with more services:) With the little knowledge I have on the resto offers in Segundo, if you are looking for authentif Mexican dishes, go there. You won't regret it for the price.”
“EVERY ice cream I've ever had from here has delivered! Seriously, there graham cracker ice cream packs more graham cracker punch than some graham cracker pie crusts I've had! How do they do that!?! My only "complaint" is the # of choices. It seriously takes me longer to decide what I'd like versus consuming whatever it is I end up with. I'd probably be better off if they had a hat I could pull a choice out of ? And please share, at least one order per two persons. The portions are ? ?”
“Well it lived up to the hype. From one chef to another..bravovery well executed. Took a little long to get my food, and I would want a little more sauce and ramen and..ok fish too for the $48 it costs...but that sauce was amazing...some spicy fish tomato sauce or something whatever it was it was bomb. The desserts look tempting...Definitely some of the best food I've had for a while. I'll be back for sure..hopefully with a group so I can taste all their dishes.”
