“Dear friends; I want to thank you all for your constant support and endless generosity!I wanted to say goodbye properly to each one of you, but I only had three weeks to do so. Next time we meet I'll tell you the whole story of why I had to leave.I've been away for a couple days now, but once I know where I'm heading, I'll proceed to delete this post and keep you updated with my whereabouts.“

“Amazing place, amazing food, and amazing customers service!! The braised pork was absolutely delicious for such an affordable price and their portions are certainly worth it. I only ordered the rice as my base and braised pork on the side, it was nicely cooked, tender and the quail eggs were top quality. Highly recommend Tigawok and definitely coming back for more!!!“

“Karla is so sweet and helpful. She is usually in the drive thru when I stop by after work before making the long commute home. She has great EQ, friendly, provides excellent timely service. I oversee customer service for a large restaurant brand and I feel Karla is an excellent steward of hospitality and that she should be recognized for her work! Way to go Karla, thank you for bringing a smile to my face after long days of solving people’s problems. I could visit other concepts or CJ locations after work, but come back to this one for her service. Kudos!“

“This was literally one of the best salads I’ve ever had. You’re going to become a regular in our rotation.“

“Great food first time being there!“

“Great service all the workers are nice and everything came out fast. Totally recommend the frozen lemonade so good if you love sour you need to try the blue one but the strawberry one is also pretty good just be careful with brain freezes the queso is nice but my favorite is the western bacon“

“I love the delicious and tasty food. The staff is friendly, social and attentive. Service is fast and efficient. love them.“

“Disclaimer: This review is for a Yelp Elite event in conjunction with Lokal Venice.

Thank you @Lokal.Venice & @YelpLA for introducing me to this neighborhood gem. Sarah, Julia and the Westside Yelp team knocked another one out of the ballpark - the second this week!

Vanessa at the counter was friendly and knowledgeable. She contrasted that this location was full service with drinks and a more extensive menu.

I opted for the vegetarian and she directed me to the tofu lemongrass banh mi. I was already coffee’d out after opening day of dayglow coffee in Venice earlier in the AM, so I opted for Thai iced tea. It comes with 2 non dairy options, almond and oat. Vanessa made the dealers choice of oat milk.

It took less than 10 minutes to get a fresh banh mi, as we sipped the Thai iced tea that was out in a minute.

Thai iced tea was sweet but not too sweet, and oat milk made it less heavy than dairy. It had a refreshing quality to it, and that distinct flavor of tea.

What makes a good banh mi great is the baguette. This one had a nice crunch, had just the right amount of vegan mayo to not make it soggy. You know it’s legit when you get oodles of cilantro, jalapeño and that distinct sweet spicy kick of carrots and other veggies. The tofu was lightly fried and soaked in all the flavor. It wasn’t too lemongrassy but in combination with the bread and pickled veggies, packed a punch. Overall some of the better banh mi I’ve had. It tasted fresh and was satisfying. I really appreciated their choice of hot sauce that did not have additives and other nasty fillers.

Overall a solid experience when craving the Vietnamese French sandwich, which I do often. I will be back to try their burger and some of Vanessa’s favorites on the menu: Cubano, Korean bbq banh mi and the vegan burger.

Tip: The restroom is clean but needs a key.

Tip: Free parking in the strip mall lot
Tip: Check out the lunch special from 8 am to 4 pm. At $15 for OG Burger, fries and a beer it’s the best deal in town.“

“Very good food, authentic French tacos !“

“I tried the extra hot spicy level once, that was REALLY spicy! Basically after each bite, I had to take a break for 5 min to cool my mouth down so I can continue eating, the pain level is 10 out of 10. Definitely will roll back to hot level.“

“Ricas hamburguesas 😋y las papa tambien“

“Had a burger at Pedroca's Burger and wow, just wow. Super chill place with cool vibes. The staff makes you feel like you're an old friend, and those burgers are legit delicious. The Raposão was unreal – juicy, flavorful, and all kinds of awesome. Seriously, you need to check this place out. It's my new go-to for burgers.“

“When you offer food this cheap specially in a area like Westwood all I expect is the food to be average and I'll be happy but falafel Inc. Is waaay above average. Everything is so fresh from the crispy falafel to the pickled onions. U can get a fries and a loaded pita for under 12 bucks in 5-10min. They also have their soy shawarma which packs a lot of spices so if you're looking for subtle flavor go for the falafel.
Only problem I have about this place is the tables and chairs outside. I had the same ones from ikea and they are horrible. They're not stable, the sauce cups fall through the gaps, and the table is barely big enough to keep your food. It's almost like they don't want you to dine in. If they switch out the seating for better/ more comfortable ones that'd be great.
Just a friendly suggestion!“

“First time eating at this establishment. If it wasn't for the cook offering the samples we would not have discovered this place. The crispy chicken sandwich was delicious and if you are vegetarian ask for the pesto avocado that is not on the menu. Give it try you will not be disappointed. PS they make their own onion rings.“

“I visit this Carl’s Jr. regularly for lunch, and it’s always a great experience. The staff here is consistently friendly and welcoming, making each visit enjoyable. Carol and Victor in particular, are always so helpful and kind they and the rest of the team go above and beyond to provide fast and friendly service. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows. Highly recommend this location!“

“Awesome service. Thank you Rene for your kindness. Came in with my family and they were saying that the food was really good. Not everyone has great customer service but this carls jr. Always treats me great and my family too. Great family experience“

“Price - great!
Food - great!

I ordered the double cheese burger.
The burgers are smashed. Cheese is perfectly melted.

The lettuce was fresh and crisp. Tomato with a good firmness, not soggy.

Went back and tried the chicken sandwich. Even better than the burger. The chicken is breaded but not overly breaded. Sauce and slaw to not make the sandwich cold.

Really great. Service was fast and precise. Ambiance great!

Can’t wait till they open in Long Beach.“

“The location of the restaurant is smack center of downtown GSU, a young and vibrant, busy little area reminiscent of a ‘baby Manhattan’ but with nicer people and eco-friendly eateries. The interior is aesthetically pleasing with a black and yellow color scheme throughout the establishment, coordinated seating areas for dining in, and simple yet impactful decor with the background story of Mr. Fries Man framed along the walls. The atmosphere was welcoming and extremely professional and the fries themselves were everything! I had the shrimp and steak fries and they were fresh and hot, the steak cut into perfect bite size bits, the shrimp cooked perfectly, and the sauce a delicate balance between sweet and savory to tie it altogether *chefs kiss*. Overall perfect restaurant choice for anyone but especially college students and young professionals who want a satisfyingly delicious, quality meal without breaking the bank.“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“Yummy food. Always our stops all the way from Chicago“

“It’s brand new and clean. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. It’s a very comfortable environment with electrical outlets and USB ports for your electronic devices. And the food! Best turkey burger I’ve had in the South Bay and those brussels sprouts are to die for. Go! Quickly! 😬❤️😬“

“I absolutely love Toni Khachapuri! I’ve eaten here many times — it’s always delicious, fast, and super affordable. The khachapuri are just incredible, truly comfort food at its best. Perfect spot for a quick bite or a filling meal. My only small suggestion: please consider replacing the adjika — it slightly takes away from the overall experience. But other than that, everything is amazing. I keep coming back! ❤️“

“very good tasting food also clean dinning room restroom are clean as well polite staff“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“I love how everyone is smiling and friendly. Food was great, restaurant was spotless and staff was great! Thank you 🌺“

“Lugar tranquilo para disfrutar de una muy buena hamburguesa 😋😋😋“

“Always delicious and been since my childhood!!!“

“Great food, good service, super friendly“

“This is a place that you wouldn't expect to find in a mall foodcourt – mouthwatering sandwiches made with freshly baked bread and an excellent selection of salads. The giant stone oven is the centerpiece of this counter-service restaurant, and their soft breads with cheese baked into the top crust are constantly being pulled out for the spectacle. Very low key and tasty spot that I believe would be more successful outside of a shopping mall.“

“Best burgers 🍔 ever. Missed them.“

“I was at this Raising Canes I like the atmosphere And I highly recommend you guys to bring your family inside/dine-in you’ll like it.“

“If you are from the east coast, Great Western Cheese Steak is like being at home. I have been here for more than 30 years and will not order a cheese steak anywhere else. These are the originals!“

“Well, first of all, thank God for life and health and for the first part of the country from here in Los Angeles, California, they treated me very well, kindly and with respect, and I hope to God that they continue like this, with kindness and polite staff, thank you“

“We had a burrito recommended by the chef and the Birria plate. Both delicious and service was very quick and friendly. Nowhere to sit in the immediate area which isn’t their fault of course. We sat across the street at the shaded bus station and managed just fine :)“

“Date 4/6/2025

I stopped here to get my mom a breakfast biscuit and egg sandwich. My day started out well. God gave me another day. When I arrived at the drive-thru a voice came over the speaker it was clear and precise. Good morning. How can I help you? I placed my order, and she asked all the right questions to up sell you on the food that was offered, which I did not mind. As I approached the window, it swung open, and I saw the woman behind the voice her name is Susie. Susie was very pleasant and respectable throughout the short time I was in the drive-thru. Her customer service skills are excellent. To the management team and owner of this Carl's Jr. You have a winner in Susie. To all of you who will read the post if you like Carl's Jr, and excellent customer service. Go see Susie and let her make your day.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Wow canes is so yummy. I dined in for dinner and the line wasn't too long and moved pretty quickly. The people working there were pretty nice and I got my food pretty fast too. The food was really good. I like chicken and Canes has chicken so I like canes. The chicken at canes was good so I think canes was good. The fries were just ok though they tasted pretty bland honestly but the canes sauce and the toast were both really good. The drive thru looked pretty long so maybe just order inside if you don't want to wait. The bathrooms were a little gross so probably avoid using those too. Overall I like canes bc I like chicken. Don't come here if you don't like chicken. The whole menu is chicken. They had some cool post malone posters too but i didn't get any. Get the three piece combo it's good :)

Vegetarian options: Only chicken

Parking: Good parking

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. they had lots of chicken fingers. Kids love chicken fingers! 😋😋

Wheelchair accessibility: Man I love wheelchairs. Praying for those that have to stay in wheelchairs though🙏🙏. At least you guys can enjoy some canes cuz this place is wheelchair accessible af.“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“I saw on out side glass window FISH AND CHIPS was very exciting i went in side first question i asked frying fish and chips in same oil hot pot or different and answer i got Fish and chips frying in different oil pot.“

“exelente comida ,exelente servicio , muy limpio todo 👌“

“Great friendly service with a beautiful view of the strand. 👊😎“

“I went through the Drive Thru and the person in front of me paid for my order. I went ahead and paid for the person behind me. I’m wondering how many paid it forward today.“

“This is my ~5th time coming since I first went back in April. I live 40 minutes away on a good day. It is SO. GOOD. I think about Red Rock constantly, I even dreamt about it already. I always get the #2 special, the steak don with an egg and cheese. The most recent time I went, they took out the cheese and I was so sad. Bring back the cheese, please!!! Medium rare is the best! I also get the croquettes and those are to die for! The service is always impeccable, my water is always full! I love the cozy little atmosphere inside the teeny tint restaurant. It's worth waiting in line for. 5 stars every single time I've been. 6 stars if I could because this is one of my favorite restaurants!“

“Excellent food 🥘 and service!“

“I love coming to this location, but I do feel they are understaffed at night. I waited 20-30 minutes at the drive thru. Honestly I don’t mind as long as my food taste good , but the second car behind me wasn’t too happy and kept honking. The young man (cashier) looked frustrated and apologized I told him it was fine. He was very kind and respectful. But I felt bad for him, no one should have to do everything by themselves.“

“the burgers and the fresh house made onion rings and fresh ice tea.“

“Muy buena la atención gracias 😊“

“Fabulous Burgers,serves large Pastrami Fries plates, 🍔 🌮 🥗 and more!“

“I absolutely love this restaurant they have the best jalapeno chicken I've ever tasted. everything's always fresh constantly coming out the service is good they're nice ladies and I loved it there and I will continue to go to this place as long as they are open
Everything I've ever tasted at this restaurant has been delicious“
