“Well, love at first sight on their packaging!!! They do the business seriously here 👏
The chicken katsu was juicy, tofu katsu was good. Chicken sando was delish. If anything to improve, they could offer hot sauce/some chili powder(togarashi). Sit outside get the view“

“I just want to say that not only the food is good here, but also their customer service. There was only one gentleman working today. He was the cashier and the cook. He had so many customers, yet as busy as he was, he was efficient, friendly, and acknowledged each person as they walked in. This guy needs a raise for all his hard work. Thank you“

“I ordered a few menu items via DoorDash. Unfortunately, DoorDash did not deliver one of the items and, they declined my request for a refund (warning to those who use DoorDash). I want to thank Mgr. Joshua for taking the time to deliver the item to me directly, that DoorDash failed to deliver. The food I did receive was delicious. Thank you again.“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing place. A real gem and great find. The mackerel bento tier 2 was amazing. The fish was butter and crispy. All the vegetables were so tasty too. The area it’s in is a bit rough, but this place is worth it. The inside is decorated nicely and it’s a nice atmosphere. The staff was nice and the even gave us cute holiday cookies. Can’t wait to visit again“

“First time. Food was awesome. The salad dressing was missing, not sure if I ordered incorrectly but I recall choosing ranch and asian. Also not clear with the teriyaki on the side that it's extra, I was hoping to add my own, but the amount of sauce was not overdone and the extra helped. Thank you! Shall return to try other menu items!“

“We LOVED their fried rice it was so good! Solid amount of chicken in it too. We ordered the chicken garlic noodles as well that was also tasty. The woman who took our order was so sweet she brought out all of our items to us very gingerly and also put a nice big bottle of siracha out. We wished we lived closer so we could come more often!“

“Delectable beef carpaccio mainly because of how well the crunchy fried garlic pairs with the juicy, thinly-sliced beef. Also one of my go-to spots when I’m craving lomo saltado; it’s not too saucy like how some restaurants make it but the flavor is all there and perfectly balanced. I ordered extra meat, but honestly barely touched it; it was filling enough by itself.“

“It's better than three stars. Got the sashimi rice plate. Not bad. Coulda used more rice though. Like I'm talking a bed a rice. Didn't get sick, believe it or not. I'm kind of surprised by that. Must be a quality joint. I was feeling fish today. Folks have to know what they're serving up and I'm grateful for it. But yeah that rice woulda been better if it came on a bed of rice. Only complaint.
Edit: in hindsight this place is actually good af. Def want more rice on the sashimi rice plate though“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“Highly recommend! We live a half hour away from this dumpling house, and were in the neighborhood to get our car serviced. We decided to have lunch here and it’s extremely tasty! Everything was very good. We will definitely come back for more, even if we have to drive a half hour ☺️.“

“It was definitely worth the drive to come try out this spot my daughter-in-law found through TikTok. The food was so delicious, like everything we ordered was so good. The service was fast, efficient, and friendly. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and music. I will definitely be coming back. Just wish it was closer to me!
The only thing I would suggest is some benches or chairs out front for the wait to be seated, especially for people who have physical limitations.“

“I had a chance to try this sushi on sunday at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. I got the vegan shiitake rolls, and It was delicious, and the owner is very friendly. I wish all the best to such a business because she makes everything of fresh and high-quality ingredients. Just wanted to mention here that this is not a regular restaurant with regular address, so go to their @ganchic Instagram for more information where you can find their goodies!“

“I’ve had Orange Chicken all over SoCal and Arizona, and most times its just sugary and forgettable. The Chicken Bowel is 🔥✨️🍜✨️
Panda can't even touch this place...
The first bite hit with a real orange punch — bright, sweet, slightly tangy, and balanced. 🍊✨ Crispy chicken, perfect glaze, no soggy nonsense. Just crunch and flavor working together. 🤌🔥
The bed of white rice was perfect. 🍚 It let that citrus shine instead of competing with it. Every bite was clean, bold, intentional. D-lish
Portion was solid… but leftovers never stood a chance. 😤
The location is low key, but damn bro! Friendly staff. Fair price. ✅
If you're an orange chicken fan - this place hits different!
