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!❤“

“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.“

“Hardly a wait before 1pm 5-10. The entrance of the place is where the parking lot is, not on the corner of 5th street were I entered from 😅 they are very quick at clearing tables to let in more guests for dine in.

Ordered the brisket and it was delicious. Light and flavorful. Like others have stated, add your green onions and salt pepper or chili to your liking. Their radish and kimchi banchan were fresh and flavorful, my favorite being the radish! The milky smooth bone broth tasted delicious. Not heavy at all and so comforting!“

“My visit to the new gastropub in the neighborhood was a memorable one. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I ordered a Coca-Cola, which was served promptly with a healthy dose of ice, just the way I like it. But the real standout was the Fried Chicken Sandwich - it was cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and tender meat, and the flavors were out of this world. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes.“

“The food at Star of India is excellent. They have a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and standard items, all worth trying. The service is prompt and the staff are friendly and helpful.“

“Amazing authentic Korean food! The kkakdugi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all of the side dishes were excellent. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving authentic Korean comfort food. I'll definitely be back!“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“Fantastic food, great atmosphere, great service, wonderful music. I love everything about this place“

“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!“

“This cafe and Juice bar STOLE our hearts! A MUST when in San Diego and La Jolla. I mean, WOOOOWWW! We were able to sneak in a quick breakfast before our whale tour at the Little Italy location, and thank goodness we did! My only regret is not visiting every single day for their exceptional breakfast and high-quality juices! I ordered the All I Avo Wanted - Blue corn, waffle, smashed avocado, feta, shaved radish, over easy egg, chili flakes, hemp seeds, salsa macha. I mean, holy moly. The delivery was beautifully executed and built perfectly. The blue corn waffle was moist yet firm. My mother ordered the Shakshuka - another favorite dish of mine that WOWed. You can not go wrong with Parakeet. Thank you to the divine chefs and baristas - you made Parakeet the most beloved restaurant during our time in California!!!“

“Nice place and people. Good food.“

“I really love flaming pasta their sauces are amazing and my favorite part is that you can choose your spice level. I haven’t been able to get over there lately so I ordered delivery and the flaming heat level and it just was not spicy, I do feel like if I was to go in person and talk to the people and make my request it would most likely be fulfilled“

“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.“

“This the my go to Indian. Chef used to be at another spot and spun out on his own. Flavor is out of this world, can hit right spice/heat level, lots of vegetarian options alongside good servings. Garlic butter naan is woah. Price point went up but is honestly still worth it“

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

“Wonderful food…wonderful service! I come from Pomona about once or twice a month to enjoy their food! Highly. Highly recommended!“

“We had a very nice experience here. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was great, and the food was enjoyable. We ordered shrimp for the main course, and it was tasty and well prepared. The drinks were also very good and added to the meal. Everything felt comfortable and welcoming from beginning to end. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, and we were very satisfied with our visit. We would definitely come back again and recommend this place to others.“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

“This restaurant serves incredible authentic Chinese food! The dining space is clean and tastefully decorated, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere for meals. Every dish we ordered was bursting with rich, genuine flavors and cooked with great care. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion sizes were generous. We had such a wonderful dinner experience here. I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone craving amazing Chinese cuisine and a pleasant dining environment.“

“It is your typical mom and pop's Korean soup joint. The atmosphere is like a cafeteria filled with photos of the past, simple and clean. It has a small menu, but the soup base is amazing. The beef broth has tremendous amount of flavor, clean, rich, the beef and tendons are succulent. The soup is not seasoned (salted) so you can taste the original beef flavor, and you can add the salt as you like it. The simple meal for two is about $50. It was a great find for us.“

“great breakfast sandwich“

“Amazing food and staff! Will be back!“

“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.“

“This is a speciality poultry and beef meat market, specializing in chicken, beef and turkey. The ground chicken is the absolute best. Its available in mild or spicy and both are exceptional. Try the links and patties. The service is no nonsense quick, fast and efficient. I love Mama's Chicken.“

“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 😄“

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

“Big portion. Very fresh! Recommend! But the soy marinated crab sold out quickly in the afternoon 😭 we didn’t get a chance to taste that. Spicy crab and shrimp are delicious. We also had the cabbage and beef soup which is very comforting.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“Fantastic food. And cocktails. And bartenders!“

“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.“

“Oh my gosh! I was searching for a good wang donkatsu place and finally found one. This place is seriously so delicious! 🤤 My mom ordered the spicy jjolmyeon, and she said they serve real Korean food. Everything we ordered was amazing. We’ll definitely be coming back again!!“

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

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