Restaurants in Monterey Park

“This restaurant has an extensive menu of northern Chinese, Sichuan dishes and Peking duck. Unlike other pecking duck restaurants, we did not have the call in advance to pre order the duck. We were a party of 2 and we tried the marinated cold jelly fish, the pecking duck and the stir fried morning glory (ong choi) with garlic. We found all these dishes delicious and of high quality. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. The dining room is nicely decorated and noise level low.”

“Their signature soufflé pancakes”

“The best Burmese cuisine I have tried in the US of A! Fantastic food, lovely people and awesome service. Highly recommended. I had indian-burmese fusion samosas, Yangon street cafes style, the best I ever had!
Monthinga is good although pretty mild for my taste. More than decent warm mushy tofu. One of the best Nangyithoke. Complementary sago pudding is great too. We didn't have the time for dessert so they packed it for us. Can't recommend them enough.”

“Great Dim Sum spot for classic dim sum food and not too long on wait for a table.”

“They give A GOOD AMOUNT of food here. Great for FAMILY STYLE SHARING or just extra food for another day, hahaha!

Depending on the time of day it might be tough since there’s HK Good Fortune Supermarket here also.”

“Pssing through. Hilton Hotel in Montebello said tgey had the best pizza around. Very true. Loved the New York.”

“I've been craving skewers and this place hit the spot!! We got their early around 6pm and there was no wait. Got seated right away.

We ordered the beef, lamb, and chicken skewers along w some buns, golden soup and topped it off with dessert durian pizza.
I couldnt give it a 5 stars for the food because I felt like the lamb skewers could have been better. There was a lot of fat and being that the skewers are very small, each bite should be meat of lamb not fat. But overall the food was good and it tempt my craving.

The price overall was high. I managed to rack the bill over $150 n that's just with 3 of us. So be prepared. 😄”

“Jin Hai / Beijing Pie House has gotten better over the years. The lamb and leeek meat pies arrived nice and crispy with ample soup inside. The lamb flavor was subtle and clean with a satisfying smattering of yellow leek.

The three ingredient dumplings (leek, pork, shrimp) were supple and balanced. The thick looking wrappers were deceptively supple with a bit of bite and flavor of the fillings sang a song of freshness.

Glad we came back and will put this back in our rotation.”

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.”

“Excellent service. Great beer. Great food. I Love the ambiance.”

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.”

“Bball Team banquet held there”

“Cute dessert spot that feels reminiscent of classic HK/TW dessert shops. We came on a Saturday night and were seated right away—no wait. It’s largely a self-service experience (ordering straight from the menu and servers are basically just runners).

Prices are a little on the high side, but kudos to them for delivering dishes that actually look like the photos. Therefore, there are plenty of Instagram-worthy items for those looking for that! Good experience, but not necessarily a repeatable one.

(For taste, I do recommend the mango/grape dessert - though that’s not as unique as the other items).”

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back”

“First time every eating in a restaurant on a styrafoam plate, but it didn't take away from my meal. Tried out their noodles with beef and I found it to be quite tasty with the sauce. Small simple little place, tempted to return for their breakfast and evening specials”

“very nice service 👍 always come back”

“As cold as all the workers are, and as rundown as the place looks, I will never stop coming back because nothing can beat the price and how fast they can prepare the meal.”

“Best sushi in LA! Everything melted in your mouth! The fish is fresh, the price is affordable, and the service is great! It looks like a hole in the wall - but wow :)) We eat there once a week and love it! Drove all the way from Studio City to have dinner there - 2 hours each way in traffic - so that's obviously what it says :)) Haha Just love it!”

“delicious! Just the way it looks in the pictures.”

“Really good birria crispy tacos👌”

“This place was always my go-to for pastrami! But over the period of time, employees has gotten very rude, unlike the old employees when I used to come almost every week. Now all they do is serve their food, nobody there shows customer service anymore!”

“The pizza is so good!! And they have great family specials 😃”

“Enchiladas are delicious”

“The San Gabriel location closed and now I have to drive to Monterey Park. So glad it tastes the same because this place is deliciously delicious. The spicy fried rice is devilishly delectable because of the heat and combined with the pineapple curry it's damn near damning. Screw Flanders.”

“The food and services are excellent. We eat here every time we visit!”

“Found my favorite noodle here. Their signature dish and the best I ever taste is their Bún bò Huế. Place is small but no line. There are more than one locations if this business operate by different families. The Monterey Park location taste the best.”

“pineapple bun curry fish balls pork fried rice honey ribs Great food, prices, and service.”

“Great dim sum for a great price as well! Definitely worth checking out! The tea was great too. We got seated immediately and the food carts came around so fast and so often. We weren’t waiting too long for anything.”

“Excellent. Our first time here. Tasty and freshly cooked when they serve it to you. Only thing I would want is some of those crisp chili oil. They only give soy sauce.”

“Wow its delicious food l love it❤️”

“Clean and modern. Sushi bar.”

“Go here and go here soon. This place is great. Super fresh everything. Big coolers on one wall where you select meat and veg on trays and skewers. The assortment is broad. I was fortunate to have gone with friends from China, so they guided my choices. You can't go wrong with the basics here, though. Friendly service and very clean. Open late!”

“Really good spot for takeout pho. The broth was super flavorful and still hot when I got home, which I really appreciated. Everything was packed neatly and the portions were actually pretty generous for the price.

I got the pho to-go and the ingredients all tasted fresh, especially the herbs and bean sprouts. Service was quick and easy too. Definitely one of those places I’d come back to whenever I want something warm and comforting after a long day 🍜”

“The food is excellent and there is a wide variety of dishes”

“I recently stopped by Good Shine Kitchen Chinese Food to pick up some dumplings and wontons, and I was honestly really impressed with the quality and flavor. You can tell right away that this place focuses on comfort food done the right way, without trying to overcomplicate things.

The dumplings were the highlight for me. The wrappers were thin but sturdy, not overly thick or doughy, and they held together perfectly after cooking. The filling tasted fresh and well-seasoned, with a good balance of meat and texture. They reminded me a lot of homemade dumplings you’d eat with family, especially the kind you freeze and cook whenever you’re craving something warm and satisfying.

The wontons were just as good. The filling was smooth and flavorful, and they cooked evenly without falling apart. Whether you enjoy them in soup or on their own, they’re comforting and simple in the best way. This is the kind of food that feels familiar if you grew up eating Chinese or Taiwanese-style home cooking.

The restaurant itself feels low-key and local, but the food quality is solid and consistent. Portions are generous for the price, and it’s a great spot if you’re looking for authentic-tasting dumplings and wontons without needing a fancy setup.

I’ll definitely be coming back to restock my freezer and try more items from their menu. Highly recommended if you’re in the Monterey Park area and craving real comfort Chinese food.”

“12/27/2019 鮮🦐腸粉加🥚 & 菜乾咸排骨瑤柱花生粥. 好吃,😋價錢合理 🤗👍”

“I lived in China for 14 years and this is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I have eaten at in Los Angeles. There is a dish at the restaurant called Pídàn qiézǐ （皮蛋茄子）. It's a preserved egg and eggplant combination. Sounds funky, tastes amazing. Don't expect eggs rolls, rangoons, & fortune cookies, but if you want a taste of central China without the air fare and hassle of getting a visa, go to Chef Fu's. 好吃！”

“I picked up 5 different skewers, cucumber salad and white rice and all was super delicious. I can see where ordering over phone will be a problem if you don’t speak Chinese. Food is bomb though and plan to go back soon.”

“The dim sum here is good, especially their shrimp eggplant toast and chicken feet. They offer complimentary indoor parking, which is a big plus. The service is generally good, but if you order main dishes, expect a longer wait especially during busy weekend lunch hours. Overall, it’s a nice spot for dim sum, just be prepared for slower service when it’s crowded.”

“The nail salon is very clean and the manicurist is very professional. You need to make an appointment by phone before you go. They are so busy. Please give them enough time and they will give you a perfect nail.”

“The soup is very delicious and traditional. That’s a nice experience when I am homesick during my long term business trip here.”

“Visited here 2 weeks ago.. the vibe is awesome. The location is tiny but a great use of space and great energy. Shout out to Cindy she is a rockstar! I think Monday nights with Mindy are the best kept secret at this place. Thanks for bringing joy and care into the world through painting (and Boba)... See you soon!”

“5/2026:
I've tried a few other dim sum places around the area and this is the only place I've been to that serves chili sauce as well as real chili oil with the actual chili flakes. It makes a huge difference. The food also comes out piping hot. They are literally cooking some of the food on their dim sum carts, which is awesome.

2023:
Prices are decent for dimsum which is great; it's cheaper during the week. My friends and I like coming here. The staff seem to recognize us.

On some days the food is greasy; other days, not so much. If the food is not greasy, we end up eating and ordering more food.”

“Went here yesterday and had a pretty good experience.The BBQ tasted really good and the meat was flavorful.Service was nice and the food came out fresh.The atmosphere was okay, could be a little better,but overall I enjoyed it and would come back again.You guys must try their signature big grilled oysters with garlic,super flavorful and definitely one of the best things on the menu.”

“They say people from Hunan province don't fear spicy food. I ordered stir fried tripe and bamboo shoots. Mild was spicy enough. Food was great, and I would come again.”

“The food is 5 stars the service is 5 stars I love it prices are very fsir”

“Love this IHOP here in Monterey Park. I come to this place every weekend. It's been years. Since 2017, I think, I started coming here for breakfast every Saturday and Sunday. The staffs are very friendly and attentive. I will continue to come for breakfast here.”

“Food was hot and fresh”

“Please At least Allow Unlimited Refills Students Come here to Study and Unlimited Refills Helps us Focus here And We keep Coming Back for unlimited Free Refills. Jessica is a Great Manager shes awesome.”

“Food: a great banh mi spot in town. I thought their crispy pork banh mi was ok, but their grilled pork banh mi was flavorful and tasty.

Service: friendly cashiers and courteous.

Atmosphere: a small shop, simple and clean.”

“Great customer service and terrific food. Love the breakfast burritos.”

“This place is unassuming, but then they sucker punch you with HANDS DOWN the BEST WONTON NOODLES EVER. I have yet to eat more perfect wonton noodles with dumplings. The broth is simple and clean and delicious and the dumplings are amazinngggg as well. I have gotten multiple dishes here and have had the most awesome taste bud adventures.

If you're not a noodle person (le gasp), you can't go wrong with the curry and the hainan chicken. I don't know how they do it. The food is rich in flavor but I don't feel greasy or anything after eating it. I guess it's just super fresh ingredients, homemade, and skillfully cooked food. Try it to believe it!!”

“Their breakfast special (available until 11 am) is awesome. For about 14 dollars, I got one Hong Kong style iced milk tea, one huge piece of fried chicken steak and egg, plus stir fried noodle. Very authentic Hong Kong style. Plenty of parking behind the building.”

“Amazing joint To eat celebrate enjoy company”

“Xiao Long Bao - so delicious compare to Dai Tai Fung”

“just a wonderful place my favorite spot”

“And they were having a promotion where if I leave a review, I get a free drink so I’m grateful for that. The tea was good. There was only a little bit of miscommunication with customizing a drink and they make you do the review before they give you the drink so other than that I will definitely come back.”

“The place is really small but always busy in the morning. The steamed buns are their specialty i think. We had onion and beef as well as boc-choi and lamb. Also a tofu soup. Only Chinese speaking and cash only. But we worth an experience to try. The parking is in back nearby.”

“Great food priced right! One of our favorites places to eat at’”

“They were not joking when they called this comfort food. I was sick, and it was raining, so I wanted something warm and hearty. This place seemed like the obvious choice, and far exceeded my expectations. Food came out fast and blistering hot, but still perfect temperature to eat right away. It was somehow nostalgic, even though it was my first time trying this dish. The tofu was extremely soft, but held its shape well, and very flavorful from absorbing the liquid. It really felt like it cured by illness.

Portion size was also very generous, which is always important. The menu was also pretty varied, I could imagine coming back multiple times and trying something new each time.”

“nice place. the drinks are creative, and sugar is adjustable which is always good (25%, 50%, 75%)! there are a few tables inside along with a countertop seating area. prices are very reasonable, and the staff were really nice.”

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.”

“friendly and good service for great prices for pho dac biet and crispy noodles with shrimp”

“Absolute gem of Hironori. Other locations are always crowded and there is wait time but this one is hidden gem. Always loved their ramen, but service here from Derek was impeccable. Highly recommend.”

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!”

“Endroit hyper typique ! Bonne musique, cocktails d’un excellent niveau et à un prix tout à fait honnête, tous les classiques sont dispo et le barman tient la corde niveau cordes vocales !! Excellente carte de dîner ! Nous n’avons pas testé le grill … seul regret de la soirée. Il faut qu’on y retourne, absolument”

“Best egg tart & po tart ever! We saw the TV channel introduced this store, went in on weekday morning to avoid the crowds, the egg tart was so good, po tart has more flavor but I like both 😋 recommend eating right away while it’s warm! Definitely will be back.”

“Yeah!! I still remember being a bit disappointed the first time I went to the Century City location — it just didn’t feel that cute. But this new store has so much atmosphere! Even though the donuts are a bit sweet for me, it’s just really nice sitting here.”

“Wow! Meat pies from heaven in a mini- mall off N Garfield Avenue. Everything here is great. Not a sit down place as such, since it's really small and they only have a few tables, but I'm sure you could eat in if you wanted to (they have a short menu) - but it's not really a restaurant atmosphere - more of a small hole in the wall family run takeout, with Grandpa making dumplings by hand at a table when I was there. There seems to be very little English spoken here. Very delicious and authentic - I'll be back!”

“Its been a long time since I've felt like giving a generous tip. Its hard to find/see someone paying attention to his surroundings, clear communicator and making things happen for everyone. I felt bad for the tables that didnt have his service. Michael, was and over the top with waitering and his hospitality. He went the extra mile making sure my grandma and I had a great dining experience. Thank you Michael.”

“My wife brought me a teriyaki chicken rice and macaroni
OMG
Very delicious tender and tasty 😋
I will definitely be returning to this establishment
Wish they were in Rancho Cucamonga”

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.”

“Best egg tarts in town. It’s carb worthy. Love the mini fruit tarts, pineapple buns, scallion buns, thick toast as well.”

“Yummy! You won’t be disappointed …check them out for your next food event. Pizza 🍕 Rules!”

“Food is below average as far as HK cuisine in the area. Hospitality is definitely the most authentic HK you can experience though, i.e. service sucks but that's authentic HK experience for you. Ordered ice HK milk tea and it's all sugar taste. Order seafood noodles and noodle is bland but at least decent amount of shrimp and octopus.

5 stars though as most people only read 5 stars reviews. And also I suffered, you must too.”

“Place specialize in hand pulled noodles and home made dumplings. Very authentic. Recommend the lamb noodles. Just visited again. As delicious as ever. I would love the owners to replace the plasticware with ceramic again. Always weird to eat out plasticware at a restaurant.”

“If you want a cake from here order ahead of time, it's recommended that you order at least three or two days ahead. When I arrived today, I showed up and there wasn't anymore Green Tea Cake, I was about to leave when the cashier asked me what cake I came here for. When I indicated that I wanted a green tea cake, the baker was literally pushing a freshly baked one for the display. Perfect timing literally, they immediately boxed it up and I paid money for it. Otherwise, I was thinking about whether I really wanted a Tiramisu cake.
I would recommend that you swing by a few days before and try the cakes by the slice. Then place your order, right then and there. The Tiramisu they had on display was a Hello Kitty face made with ground coffee on the cake which was very cute but I had green tea on my mind.

This bakery is similar to 85° but I kinda like these guys more.
I came here because my coworker brought me some cake from her kid's birthday party and it was very mild not overtly sweet like American cakes. They have five types of cakes available: a black forest, chocolate mousse, mango, Tiramisu and a green tea cake. I have tried four of the five cakes and they are all mildly sweet. Even the mango passes my flavor profile.”

“My wife’s family and I come here at least 1-2 a month. I love coming here. Typically I’ll order their salt and pepper pork, but I’ve yet to order something I didn’t like on their menu.

Service is always extremely friendly and the food usually comes out promptly.”

“Yes I Do Recommend It 👍👍👍”

“The beef noodle soup here was good. It just tasted a bit extra salty. Not sure why. But overall it was ok. The hot sauce was good too. I appreciate the service here 🙏.”

“My favorite drink is Coffee Milk Tea with topping Honey Sea Salt Cream 😋”

“The drinks are a little on the sweet side, but from what I've had so far, you can tell they really use tea. Also their matcha is superb, both their lattes and the hojicha drinks. The tapioca pearls are also just right in chewiness. The fruit teas are ok; I taste the tea base but the fruit can sometimes taste pretty artificial. Overall, very solid drinks and I go back when I'm in the area. I always recommend The Tea to friends.”

“I love the food here, especially their chili sauce. I always order #8, fish with rice noodles. And the fried rice cakes with eggs. Quality has been consistent. My husband likes their beef stew noodles.”

“I just came across this place by chance and got interested in ‘rice noodles’ and never had any dish from Guilin before. I was pleasantly surprised to find a gems of cuisine! The owners are super-friendly and especially generous condiment booth much more so than any restaurants I’d seen. Plus the price is super economical. Because of such pleasant personalities and exceptional services of the owner couple, it makes the ambiance so unique and very cozy to dine in. Not to mention the taste of the dish is great! I love the chewy round rice noodles that seems to be hand-made. It reminds me of simple noodles made laboriously I encountered in a remote village in Laos where they called it ‘Khao Pun’ made fro slightly fermented rice that was pounded, steam and pounded again so the texture is soft but chewy. It came in delicious meat sauce. I got pork belly and beef ribs. I was surprised that beef ribs were debone making it very pleasant to eat. This place is a rare find and I’ll be back to try other dishes again”

“Wonderful place for everyone to gather”

“I really love my teas here, the quality is always great. I do think the layout is a bit awkward, there could be better signage to new customers to direct them to the back for ordering.”

“Walked in and ordered at the counter! We sat ourselves. They will bring the food out to your table.

All pizzas come with ONE topping and any additional are what the prices are shown in the menu. Their pizza is pretty thick! It’s not thin crust but still very tasty! Their breading is soft and not chewy/doughy so that’s a plus!

We got the 16” - sausage - pizza - a tiny bit of spice on the pizza! They gave plates + cheese/chili pepper on the side. We could’ve gone a size down! We ate half the pizza only!

Parking: it was easy since I came around 11:30 on a weekday.

Seating: 2 big tables and a few small tables. A lot of take outs!

price: it’s on the higher end but I would come back as it was filling and delicious!”

“Love the food and love the employees!!! Must try and we will surely come back to this place. ☺️”

“Un lugar muy limpio. Y la comida muy rica. Su personal muy amable .Es un restauran familiar.”

“been eating there 1984, great place to eat without rushing.”

“very good noddles .and service very respectfully.”

“Very good Banh Mi. Ingredients and bread taste very fresh and portions are generous. As people have noted, the service is a bit on the slow side for made to order items but is definitely deserving of the five star review despite this (this restaurant is way over an aggragate 4.3 rating). Having lived in Paris the texture and consistency of the bread is on par but there is the extra 9/10 that is missing in the flavor that is present in baked items from France. A place I certainly recommend!”

“Surprisingly bountiful and delicious.

The style is from Lanzhou, China. Particularly in the Gansu Province, where once the Silk Road ran along the only major city through which the Yellow River runs. Traditional hand-pulled noodles with a variety of offerings and flavors. A favorite is their house special, Beef Noodle. This differs from other Chinese variations with a clear type of broth and choice of spice levels offered here. There is also a focus on Halal meats.

Lamb is also a regional favorite; if you choose this, you should be pleasantly surprised.

There are also a number of side dishes of vegetables, Beef Rolls, and a most lovely order of steamed dumplings.

The service is good with their limited staff at times. There are many take-away orders, which is often a sign that there are more customers who appear. Parking is plentiful in this shopping plaza, making this a great choice to catch a movie and a nice meal.”

“Clean, Neat, Great community and work ethic”

“Donuts are so fresh and delish. Been going there since they opened. Lunch is also good and freash.”

“Wow its delicious food l love it❤️”

“very nice service 👍 always come back”

“This place was always my go-to for pastrami! But over the period of time, employees has gotten very rude, unlike the old employees when I used to come almost every week. Now all they do is serve their food, nobody there shows customer service anymore!”

“Food was hot and fresh”

“I work across the street so i often go to canes during my lunch break, this canes always has very fast service and quality sweet tea which is my favorite. I'd like to point out that Mariah at the front is always very quick and kind as well as listen to my personal request for my meals. Shannon who i believe is in a managerial position is also always so kind and greets everyone with a smile. They both help with the atmosphere of eating at canes. Great crew overall definitely worth coming by and if there is anything ever wrong with your meal just let them know they will HELP!”

“está bien buenas las ensaladas y las papas riquísimas👍👍👍👍”

“Love this IHOP here in Monterey Park. I come to this place every weekend. It's been years. Since 2017, I think, I started coming here for breakfast every Saturday and Sunday. The staffs are very friendly and attentive. I will continue to come for breakfast here.”

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.”

“pineapple bun curry fish balls pork fried rice honey ribs Great food, prices, and service.”

“First time using the drive-thru at this location, and I just have to shoutout Erwin! He handled my somewhat complicated order with a great attitude. He was attentive, respectful and genuinely friendly the whole time. Service like this is rare these days (and I say that as someone who works in CX in the corporate world). He absolutely deserves a raise or promotion, and all the recognition.”

“Its been a long time since I've felt like giving a generous tip. Its hard to find/see someone paying attention to his surroundings, clear communicator and making things happen for everyone. I felt bad for the tables that didnt have his service. Michael, was and over the top with waitering and his hospitality.

“The Daikokuya ramen is soo delicious and very filling.”

“Please At least Allow Unlimited Refills Students Come here to Study and Unlimited Refills Helps us Focus here And We keep Coming Back for unlimited Free Refills. Jessica is a Great Manager shes awesome.”

“Very quick & friendly service at the Sunset location. All I got was a regular-size chicken karaage bowl and it was perfect. Tipped a little extra”

“Excellent Americano and a very nice spacious place. Love the ambience of this coffee shop, and love that they have a Slayer espresso machine, too!

You can tell it's different Americano because of the more modern, foward-tasting notes that's more typical of Slayer. Slightly more woodsy, and layered than your heavier, rounded espresso drinks from a La Marzocco.

The ham and cheese croissant is light, crispy, and very delicious. It's a great case of less is more when you don't need a heavy sandwich but expect delicious clean flavor.

I ended up buying their Espresso Blend, and I can't wait to try it on my Profitec Go espresso machine at home.”

“First time trying seafood boil and I’m glad my wife and I picked this place. All the staff is very welcoming, the location is very clean, the food is amazing and portions are great. Thank you for the good experience!”

“This restaurant has good foods at reasonable prices. They have many choices on the menu. They serve big portions of foods. We ordered broccoli beef and walnut shrimps which come with a big bowl of pork meat/bones with vegetables soup and a big bowl of steam rice for daily lunch specials.
Waitresses also gave us attentive services.
We will come back for good foods and good services.”

“I ordered a roasted coffee, taste slight bitter, 50% sugar with Crème brûlée favorite, the sweetness balance very well. The coffee quality is good. Employees are friendly and helpful.”

“Just discovered this place in Monterey Park.
Really clean and minimalist interior.
They were playing great music at just the right volume, not so loud that you can't have a conversation.
(Jazz, Amy Winehouse, etc.) There were a few people there studying.
A great selection of specialty coffee drinks, also offers oat and almond milk as alternatives. They had a fantastic variety of pastries (some Asian inspired) and breakfast items.
I couldn't resist their Black Sesame/Mochi cookie and Hojicha cheesecake.
The staff is down to earth and approachable.
Can't wait to try them again!”

“The staff is so friendly! I asked to try the flavors of the ice cream they have and she was so attentive. The atmosphere is great as it feels cozy and great for quiet activities like reading or writing your last minute essays. Very kid friendly too since they have a variety of desserts. Their Matcha is good, not too bitter not too sweet, hesitate like how it should be(not overpoweringly sweet). I personally love their milk/vanilla original soft serve tho, since I’m a huge fan of vanilla soft serve and very picky about it.”

“I had a great experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, it was absolutely delicious. The ingredients were high quality, and everything tasted clean and well-prepared.

The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was fast even during busy hours. The restaurant was also very clean and well organized, which made the whole dining experience even better.

I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable meal!”

“My go to spot for skewers. Fresh meat every time and the best tasting skewers in the area. I notice people complain about service but I personally love the laid back scene of skewer restaurants where you scan to order. Lady is very nice & servers are solid. Their dishes are very flavorful.

** update ** Almost a year later and this is still the best skewer restaurant in LA in terms of flavor of meat and quality of meat. I see a lot of negative reviews but I just don’t know how they’re saying the food isn’t palatable etc.”

“Uber Eats order! Good caffeine free options here :) The Cloud Mango with light sugar tasted fresh with real mango fruit! I might try even less sugar next time.”
