“Great food first time being there!“

“I had a great experience at Tigawork. The Chinese small-bowl dishes were flavorful, fresh, and nicely portioned, making it easy to try different options in one meal. The food tasted authentic and comforting, and the service was quick and friendly. It’s a great spot for a convenient and satisfying Chinese meal.“

“Ricas hamburguesas 😋y las papa tambien“

“This food is amazing. As a long time vegan it's nice to have a place to go and feel like everyone else. Drive thru, order and eat. 💕 The quality is unparalleled, and the service is stellar.“

“The Monty classic cheese burger. Outstanding!“

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

“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.“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

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

“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.“

“Very great customer service. Fela was amazing super sweet and showed me how to use my points. Very clean. My food was served fast, but taste pretty great comparing to other Carl’s Jr I’ve been before. Food was warm!!!! I will come back to this location instead.“

“Loved the falafel bowl! Loooots of falafel and arugula, not much of toppings, although they have the sauces aside which was great. The fries were really good and well seasoned. My order was to go and It was made very quickly, spent 5 minutes waiting. The employees were great and really easy going, which made the experience even greater.“

“First off all, I went to the Hawthorne blvd location during the heatwave and it was nice and air conditioned! So that was good. But everything was super clean and the guy at the counter was really friendly and nice as was the guy bussing tables. And the food was yummy! I dunno what they put in that rub but it’s delicious and Dave’s dipping sauce is amazing! Plus I like it cuz I’m a vegetarian and they have cauliflower.
5 stars from me!!!“

“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.“

“AMAZING food and drinks. Purely fresh and tastes fantastic. I can’t wait to come back. ♥️♥️♥️“

“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! 😬❤️😬“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“very good food and good service.“

“Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly 🐕
Food was delicious for the most part with reasonable prices and we'll be back. That said, the fried chicken on the sandwich was pretty disappointing, kind of low quality and gristly which put off the rest of the good flavor.“

“A very good smash burger spot to eat at! I got the double classic burger. It had two smashed patties along with fresh crunchy vegetables, cheese that melted and oozed from the burger and a nice stormburger sauce. The burger can be a a bit messy but it's very delicious. The fries were Cajun style and had a nice spice kick to it and fried very well!

There is only standing seating to eat and it gets real busy during lunchtimes with long drive thru lines and lines for window orders. The staff was very nice and friendly, service can be a tad bit slow but the burger joint feels like your old school hamburger joint from your neighborhood.

They had a collab with Tev's kitchen so I wish I had another stomach to try their Jamaican jerk patties.“

“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 :)“

“Been for years ..! Love it“

“I’ve only ever had the appetizers, but they are so good!“

“Met the chef and owner, he was so kind and accommodating. The food was fast and delicious. The grilled chicken was so flavorful, the Greek salad was also delicious. My friend loved the fried chicken as well. Overall, amazing experience with people who genuinely care about the food they are making and their customers.“

“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.“

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

“I had such a great experience at Arby’s! From the moment I drove up, the service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. It’s always nice when the staff make you feel like they genuinely appreciate your business.

My food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted great, and I left feeling really satisfied. It was a simple but genuinely pleasant experience, and I’ll definitely be stopping by again. Great job, Arby’s!“

“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“

“Walking into this location feels entirely different from your typical fast food experience. The team here treats every customer with genuine care, executing high volume service with remarkable speed and precision without ever making you feel rushed. My order was completely custom and piping hot, freshly made, perfectly seasoned, and delivered with a smile that genuinely brightened my day. Even during the lunch rush, the staff operates like a well oiled machine, keeping the dining area spotless and greeting regulars by name. If you are looking for fast food done right, this spot sets the gold standard. Absolute perfection from start to finish!“

“Jaden at the Gardena store is an exemplary worker. Incredible customer service. Great manners and treated us with the utmost respect. Thank you young man. Keep up the great work and many blessings!“

“As a busy full time worker and student, this Carl’s Jr location is my absolute goto. I dine in, drive through, and uber eat when i am lazy. No matter what time of day, the speed, service, food, every manager and cashier I have encountered have been wonderful. Morning crew, days, and overnight. This is my absolute favorite place to eat thanks to the amazing staff! Thank you all for your services and God Bless!“

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

“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! ❤️“

“The service was really great. Tito was the best. You would’ve thought he had 6 arms the way he was back there working. I appreciated the fact that even out of breath he still greeted me with a smile and took my order expeditiously. Thank you again Tito 😊“

“me encanta la comida y un buen servisio limpio“

“Raising Cane's is a fast food chain specializing in chicken fingers. This location is in El Segundo and easy to get to with lots of parking right outside. Inside they have a little less than two dozen tables. The menu is basically 4 things along with sides and drinks, so there's not much variety, however it's because they do it so well. It's always hot and super crispy with the inside being juicy as well. The staff are super friendly and food comes out within a minute or two.“

“I originally learned about Red Rock when I was in Japan. A local girl told me about this roast beef place that serves this tower of thinly sliced roast beef with a horseradish yogurt sauce.

I don't even like horseradish, so that didn't exactly sell me lol, but somehow the sauce doesn't really taste the way I expected and the whole thing works.

So when I found out there was a Red Rock in Torrance, obviously I had to see how it compared.

I came right when they opened, so it wasn't busy. They make everything fresh to order and even have a sign telling you to be patient. I ordered the smaller roast beef bowl and added the egg. Still good, and the egg definitely makes it better.

But the surprise was the hamburger steak.

It was only around $13, and normally this isn't something I'd get excited about. I'm usually not a huge fan of giant meatball/meatloaf-type things because I feel like the inside never has enough flavor. Then this came out covered in this super dark gravy and I wasn't expecting much.

It was bomb.

I actually think I liked the hamburger steak more than the roast beef, which I absolutely wasn't expecting. The roast beef is still good, but I'm really glad I tried something different instead of only ordering what I already knew.

There were several other things I wanted to try, including the omurice, so I'll definitely be back. There's also a dessert place next door that I need to investigate next time because apparently one stop wasn't enough lol.“

“I ordered the fish and chips plate and they were perfect. 4 generous portions of fish and the fries were fantastic. Each one was super chrispy.“

“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.“
