Comfort Food Restaurants near Playa Del Rey, CA

“Amazing food not too far from the beach with absolutely awesome customer service! The #Vegan plates and chips and salsa cannot be beat anywhere close. The ambiance is casual and cool! LOVE this place!❤“

“One of those rare spots. The broth is rich, clean, and deeply comforting with being heavy, and the flavors taste honest and balanced. Service is good, and the atmosphere is simple but welcoming, making it perfect for both a casual solo meal or sharing with friends. It's the kind of place you keep coming back because the food is consistent and hits the spot.“

“Bad service for this business“

“It's a breath of fresh air to come across a venue that combines the laid-back feel of a sports bar with high-quality lunch offerings, all wrapped up in a modern and stylish atmosphere. The selection of imported beers on tap pays homage to traditional UK pubs, while the American fusion menu caters perfectly to weekend breakfasts and brunches. The fact that it's kid-friendly is a rare and welcome feature for a sports bar.

Vegetarian options: A few good vegetarian options available such as the avocado toast.“

“5-star alert! My wife surprised me with this delicious Tunisian restaurant on Father’s Day! It was like an exotic trip to Mediterranean North Africa. The servers were good and the owner was super friendly and helpful! We had prawns, fish, lamb, cauliflowers, and the infamous Hand of Fatima. Everything was delicious, with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The sauces were so unique and flavorful, we had 3 orders of bread as we want to enjoy more of the flavors in every dish!“

“The food is good, but the management and the staff are out of this world. Keith, Mel, and the rest of the establishment thank you. Dennis and Stacey will definitely be back.“

“I came here with my family to eat and everything was perfect. The lady greeted us with a smile as soon as we walked in and we were seated immediately. We ordered EunDaeGoo Jorim and Gajaemi and they were delicious. Definitely recommend this place and became one of my favorites.“

“Social has very good quality food. There's options for everyone. Price point is quite high, as to be anticipated by hotel restaurants. My only complaint: We have been attending a convention at the LAX Marriott for 8 years now and one would hope that the leadership at the hotel would be well aware than their restaurants will be significantly impacted when there's now 3000+ people there for the weekend. The staff does their absolute best but at the end of the day, there aren't enough of them and the kitchen staff clearly struggles to get the meals plated up in a reasonable amount of time. So if you plan on eating at Social, plan on allowing more time than you think you need and for heaven sake be patient with your restaurant staff. They are doing their best.“

“We were supposed to go to Sunday gravy and the wait was too long so we ended up here and the food was actually phenomenal. I was definitely go back if Im in the area again. I did a build my own pasta and the regular size was the perfect amount. I got it with hot pink sauce and the spice level was just right. The vibes are pretty nice on the inside too“

“This is one of the best places I have visited recently; I came back after only 2 days!
The place is just like a heaven; the vegetables, chicken, and lamb are all perfect.
Chicken Tika Masala is my favorite dish; I also love the egg-fried rice.
Prices are perfect, too.
My wife chose Lamb Samosa and it was also perfect, love this place!“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“tacos vergas los tavos vergas“

“The sound at The Mint is fantastic and there’s always a cool vibe from the crowd. It’s a wide room so you can see well from anywhere. Food is very good (I LOVE the cheesesteak sandwich and shrimp salad) and great drinks. So many popular musicians got their start there and you never know who’ll pop up on stage or in the audience. Really fun! Highly recommend 😄“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“Very good food and great customer service“

“great breakfast sandwich“

“Great experience! Food was delicious - ordered soy marinated crab, spicy crab, cockle bibimbap, and the pork belly kimchi pancake.
There was only 1 server today and he was doing the most bussing and serving all the tables with a positive attitude. I’ve never seen someone work so hard without rest, maintain composure, and treat customers with so much respect.
He deserves a raise!!!“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“Good food fast service. Bronzed Aussi meat pies were ok. Beef was the best I would get that again and eat 10 , lamb was good . , a little heavy on the rosemary...I can still taste it 30 min. later , same for the sausage . The chicken musroom and bacon was bland.“

“So delicious and fresh. I could eat here everyday! Ordered with Uber eats when visiting for a conference. Soupchu became my go to meal for my trip and felt healthy and satisfied hitting all the foodie spots. Chicken soup and stuffed eggplant was the best I’ve had in a long time!“

“I did not realize that this is the same family that owns Aunt kizzy's in Malibu The food was very good The owner came over and greeted us He was very personable the waitress was very nice
Our first visit on Monday I ordered the smothered pork chops with succotash which was very tasty on Tuesday I ordered the oxtails mac and cheese and cabbage and very tasty“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“great food for Hawaiian food“

“There are four restaurants that share this space: Sumac, Habibi Burger, Saucy Greens, and Soupchu. Each is great.

Saucy Greens makes delicious salads. This place is great for vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores. The sumac vinaigrette on the falafel salad is refreshing. There are no bad choices on the menu.“

“Amazing food and staff! Will be back!“

“Fantastic food. And cocktails. And bartenders!“

“Seafood and beef soup and the pork belly. Broth was very tasty.“

“I came from San Francisco to La and Mama's Chicken is always on my stop by list. They have great sausage you cannot find in SF no lie! I just did my stop by for my sausage and links play no games! Also I grabbed some Tea Cakes which are exclusive always flying off the shelf! I was lucky to be able to get 2. I had a dope conversation with the owner about Tea Cakes and her history of trial and error perfecting the Tea Cake recipe. To make Tea Cakes is a talent not everyone can do this! Trust Me!! Mama's Chicken is the spot for that sausage with the flavor that hit. Pulling up is a must!!!“

“Absolutely the finest Soul Food. You don't want to skip this place. I had the lunch portion of the Oxtail and chose the Candied Yams and Mac and Cheese as sides. It came with 2 Cornbread Muffins. It was all delicious and filling. I ordered the Coconut Pineapple Cake for Dessert. It filled the container. See the picture. Totally Recommend this place.“

“This is definitely one of the oldest and nicest place in LA to offer good food next to a public and accessible beach.
One of the best time to go is by mid-afternoon as it’s less crowded and in the winter you can enjoy the sunset by 5pm. They do offer a lot of seafood dishes from the traditional clams chowder to the lovely lobster roll. For the kids they have a couple off-menu options such as a special kids fish n chips.
Definitely a great spot that I recommend for brunch and afternoon drinks and snacks.

Vegetarian options: Not too many option to chose from

Parking: They have a 13$ valet as well as a public parking available

Kid-friendliness: Next to the beach this is a great spot to enjoy a bite while the little ones are running on the beach

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible“

“You walk in, and there is a sign in Korean as well as English underneath.

A local to the restaurant said the number 3 was his favorite.

He said everything was good but the beef bottom was for days he didn't want something as fatty.

I ate the number 3 and my friend had the oxtail.

The sauce with the jalapeños and garlic I poured in with 2 scoops of red pepper, 3 pieces of kimchi and 4 pinches of chives.

The sauce brought the noodles , bone broth and beef into synergy without being very spicy (Surprisingly).

The service was excellent and the food was great. They have their own parking too,which is awesome since you don't have to pay to park for once.“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“Great food and service!! I will be back.“

“The pad Thai is so good! I recommend this to anyone that eats here! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Okay so the food is okay, could be better the ice her little black stuff in it, and the soup water taste kind of old like idk if that makes sense but that’s how it did Taste, maybe this place is under construction or something but beside it being pretty freaking clean, they should get the water checked out.“
