“To the uninitiated, this place offers the right amount and fare, with quality just being ok, at a location convenient to those that frequent the area. There are other similar places that offer more in terms of selection and quality within a short drive. Service was on the good side and not a concern. Staff was helpful to first time customers. May come back here to avoid the crowd at other places.“
“This restaurant exceed my expectation. It's quite small but big on quality of food and service. Food are well prepared, tasty, delicious and generous portion. Location and lay out of the restaurant both very nice. They also have a patio area if you like to eat outside. It's my new fave Thai place now.“
“My wife and I have been customers for over 20 years. Their new locating is bigger and nicer, and the parking lot has more space.You pick and season your food, and they cook it, but it always tastes great, and the service is always great. The place is clean and the food is fresh. This is a must for everyone. I highly recommend this restaurant. ? I will add pictures later.Vegetarian options: Los of options and the customer can request that the griddle.“
“I knew it was going to be fire from the crumb of smoked fried chicken breading I had from my bf's plate. I had to take a moment to prepare myself. The fried chicken was so expertly seasoned and crispy. I got the 3 meat combo, pretty reasonably priced for the amount of meat I got. The sauce is awesome and the meat is juicy and tender. I had to take my nose ring off cause I was so serious about this BBQ. Cornbread is so soft and fluffy and tastes like something your grandma made. The writing on the bricks from people all over were not lying. Nice people behind the counter and great vibe. Best food I've had in El Segundo.“

“Well … what to say. I was actually even considering not to post review- little hidden gem like this should be protected:) First meat - beyond believe and 100% THE best BBQ I ever had. Brisket was famous, but the RIBS?!! Wooow… well… I’m taking my hat off, thank you and thanks destiny to let me to find such place.“
“Ribs have plenty of meat, but to my taste a bit dry and chewy. I like more tender and more moisture ribs meat. Salads were good and fresh, but really small. Staff was friendly. OK for one time, but won’t drive here specially for ribs for $30+…pricy… Other restaurants offer more and better for the same price.“
“Best thai place I had in awhile. Great value. I had the beef satay and my wife had the chicken satay. Beef satay is bomb. I recommend the cucumber salad over the papaya salad. It had a subway veggies type of taste. My wife is picky and ended up loving it. Be here soon again. 17 bucks average meal.“
“Was in the mood for Korean BBQ and came across this place nearby on google maps so decided to give it a try? Went with a group of four people, and this restaurant has set menus which was very convenient. Ordered the beef and 8 kinds of marinated pork belly set (Family Combo 2 that feeds 3-4 people) and this set came with a large stew hotpot also. We thought we would have to cook the meats but Casey, our awesome server came by and grilled the meats for us as we ate the grilled meats off the grill. A couple soju and beers and this made for probably the best meal on my cali trip?? The service, the marinated pork, and the stew was both filling and delish. Would highly recommend.... 5stars ??Parking: Parking available right in front of restaurant“
“Love the vibes of this place, the food is so yummy and I adore a self serve bar for the side dishes. Usually I feel bad having to constantly ask for more cucumber or rice paper. Love that I can get what I like and as much as I like. The price is better then most other kbbq places. 10/10 recommended to other to try if you are in the area.“
“came here with my lolo for lunch, and we both left pleasantly surprised! the interior is nice and spacious, and it's comfortable to dine in. we ended up ordering it for takeout, but the cashier was very friendly and entertained us during our wait. the chicken inasal was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were amazing in comparison to other filipino takeout spots in the area. i'd recommend this spot to anyone seeking all around good filipino food. i'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“
“Seriously the BEST beef jerky I've ever had, HANDS DOWN! Everyone who tastes it freaks and now I have to hide it from my guests! Its fresh, so tender and tastes great! I've always loved jerky but had issues with how TOUGH it was, this stuff is briskett so its SOFT and melts in your mouth! My go-to JERKY for life. You can order online @ bulkbeefjerky.com or go to the shops in Long Beach or San Pedro. They also have a shop in Johnson, TX where its made! YUM...check them out.“
“Delicious Japanese Yakiniku restaurantA good yakiniku restaurant with reasonable prices and satisfying portions.You can eat liver sashimi and the mega raw version is only $12.How much does Wagyu tongue cost 20?It's deliciousYou can feel free to come with your family, but reservations are required.It's relatively empty on Tuesdays.“
“After visiting a VW show in Long Beach and showing homes in the South Bay we wanted some genuine Filipino food and this smaller restaurant was rated as one of the best... for a good reason. Michelle is an awesome host, very talkative and informative. My mother-in-law was born and raised in Pampanga and the roots of the restaurant are Pampangan as well. Sisig and Silog were very nice, halo halo a welcome palette cleanser. Parking was not difficult, even though we arrived at around 1pm on a Saturday. 10/10, highly recommended!“
“There are vents that go pretty low so you don't get as much smoke smell on your clothes after the meal.Wait time was good (as a walk-in on Sat night ~8pm).The bonchon selection is quite good - the mat kimchi is fresh but still has the fermentation I expect of good kimchi. Not going to review each one, there was a wide selection and refills on all of them.We got the beef combo, with boneless short ribs. The boneless short ribs were my favorite. They do come by to flip your meat (but don't hover over your shoulder).Jazz started off our service but every waiter was friendly and went out of their way to help! I left a good tip for that.Parking: The parking can be limited because there are so many good food places in the same plaza.“
“My wife and I came in on a Sunday afternoon, at first we were going to have something else originally but my wife and I decided let's get some KBBQ. We googled and we wanted to try some place new. Yellow Cow was the place and we are sure glad we found this place. It wasn't crowded which my wife and I prefer and were seated immediately. We were greeted with such amazing genuine hospitality and service, that we knew we were in the right place. The gentlemen who first took our order was so kind and a absolute delight, I wish I had gotten his name. My wife and I ordered the prime brisket for our 2 options and the quality of the brisket was phenomenal, it also comes with fresh salad & complementary sides. The gentlemen who took our order were also kind enough to lay our meat down on the grill before we started to cook, which I thought was a nice touch of service. The ladies were so sweet and full of love that it was radiating off of them and made us feel so welcomed. When they would come around to our table they made sure we were ok and comfortable and asked how everything was. One of the ladies even gave us some recommendations on how we could incorporate the side dishes with the BBQ which we thought was very thoughtful and pleasant. All in all we are giving the Yellow Cow a 5-star due to everyone's effort, genuineness, service, ambiance & food. I highly recommend if you're looking for all the above. We will be coming back for sure. ?“
“Truly excellent yakiniku in the heart of Gardena. Legit A5 wagyu, American wagyu, dinner sets they even have oxtail soup, egg soup, great service, perfect seasoning. It costs a grip but it really is worth it. Authentic Japanese Yakiniku. You need to come here.“
“Was looking for something for lunch/dinner and found this place. This is a gem in this area. Place was small and no seating inside so it’s get and go. When you walk into the place you smell the awesome smoke of the bbq. Got the Texas meal 2 ribs and 1/2 lb of brisket. It was really good. Price was good and quantity and quality of food was great! Will definitely be back when in the area.“
“Wow what an amazing meal! This place a delightful, bare bones cook your own fine meat to your precise liking. Excellent customer service and soju and sake. We came here for a birthday, and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Outstanding professional staff. Both staff servers were courteous, responsive, and really worked to satisfy all customer needs. Food preparation, display, and quality were exceptional. Open fire cooking is enjoyable and we left with full stomachs and are definitely looking forward to a return. BEST PART, it was our Anniversary dinner - what a way to make for a pleasant memory! Thank you to the entire staff.“
“This is a no nonsense local restaurant. The smell as you walk in is unbelievably inviting. Smells like real, home cooked BBQ. I ordered the Momona Combo Plate since it’s my first time trying out this place. That combo has BBQ Chicken, Kalbi and Beef ribs. I highly recommend you give this place a try. Your taste buds, your tummy and your wallet will thank you. Also you might try calling in your order ahead of time to avoid a wait as food is made to order.“
“I lived in S Korea for two years and lived for my next meal in that beautiful country. Eating at Hwang's was like being back in Korea. if you have never had Korean food, this is the place for you to start. If you love Korean food this is one of your best choices.“
“What a hidden gem in the South Bay! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Our experience at By Brazil was absolutely amazing. The meats are cooked to perfection, well seasoned and the food was simply outstanding! Loved the salad bar. Figure out what sides pair with your favorite cuts, it gets even better ?“
“The korean fried chicken isso yummy here! I've tried a few other korean fried chicken places in the South Bay and this is my favorite. Can't go wrong with any of the flavors. But be warned - their spicy is seriously spicy. I love spicy and it was almost too much for me. I also highly recommend the rose toppoki.“
“I grew up in the Philippines and move here in the US when I was 12 yrs old, so coming to this spot is pretty nostalgic for me. I love the food first off and the price. I love the atmosphere and bring back memories of being home with my family. Everyone is chill friendly, and they even have karaoke, which I also love.“
“Restaurant was very busy with not enough servers. We arrived on time but didn't get seated till 15minutes later. Food was good but we didn't get to have full attention from the servers. Food didnt come in an orderly manner. We ordered hot tea but weren't told there were complimentary barley tea and green tea/oolong would be $3 each. So we ordered three green tea. Son asked for a refill and the server just came straight and gave him a new cup without saying a word that it will be charged another $3. The second round we all asked for a refill of tea and this time the server said there was no free refill and only barley tea would be served conplimentary. We got trapped with this tea charges without knowing and you can't find it anywhere on their menu. We will be cautious and ask if there are any charges on tea next time.“
“I was never a big fan of gopchang, as eating intestines was a bit icky to me. However, this place has changed my view on gopchang! I think the places I had gopchang before had poor quality meat/intestines as it never tasted "fresh" or of good quality. I felt that thus restaurant had good quality meat and every side dishes they had was very delicious. The dwenjangjjigae was the best part of the side dishes along with the radish kimchi. Not only was the food amazing, the service was outstanding, as the servers were very attentive and kind. Would def come back for more gopchang!!“
“Had recently visited New Orleans and needed something in the SoCal area to scratch that itch. Had the seafood gumbo and a shrimp po'boy with mac and cheese. The owner was lovely and incredibly nice. Food did take a bit of time but so worth it. The shrimp in the po'boy was well seasoned and had amazing flavor. The gumbo was phenomenal as well, packed with everything you'd expect giving you a nice warm fuzzy feeling after eating it. Mac and cheese was great too, rich in flavor. Will drive up from OC to eat here again soon.“
“Definitely worth getting! Love the flavor , the brisket was absolutely the best I EVER had. The pulled pork was on point , Mac&cheese , potato salad , beans all had flavor and richness unlike others. Hats off to the bbq master. On another side I don't recommend the chicken it's very basic. Especially next to the colossal tastes the other meats bring to the table.“
“My college friend recommended me this place for its all you can eat. I went on a Friday by myself to try it out, lemme just say, go with another person. I learned the hard way they charge you for two people if you go solo, but anyway now I know and will go back with someone. I ate like never before before, I didn’t eat lunch on purpose to eat here and I can’t wait to go back. Staff is super fast and efficient, ima take my family this time.“
“?? CROATIA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - When you see the large roof-mounted rooster crowing over Pacific Avenue in San Pedro, you know you have arrived at the right place. What began as a poultry butcher in 1922 (yes, 102 years ago!) became more of a fast food restaurant in the 1950’s and 1960’s when they changed locations twice. This gave the opportunity for the Croatian immigrant owners to sneak some foods from back home onto the menu.“
“Thanks to the guys at Anytime Hawaiian for a great local dinner. We were craving some local food and found Anytime Hawaiian right across the Disneyland bus depot on Harbor. Great guys and great food. Thank you. We will definitely be back again. Aloha“
“Everything was absolutely delicious! It's our first time here and we fell in love with this place... besides, the service was fast, kind, we were very comfortable here. The place is clean, spacious and music was great.We ordered a family pack #1 (ribs, chixken, beans, coleslaw and cornbread) and my lil' one had the baby back ribs (includes fries, a chocolate chip cookie and a small beverage). Today is Saturday and soft drinks were only 1.50 :) so, great portions, great prices too!Highly recommended!!!We definitely will be back ❤️“
“First time being there and we ❤️ it. VERY friendly and lovely family owned restaurants I love that they have an couple's and group menu for one price. They cook the meat in front... and yes the have different selection of meat and huge varieties of sides that come with it. Everything fresh and hot. This will be me and my fiance go to spot for date night. We never had grilled ? and grilled ? before. It was great.“
“I ordered the Galbitang for $19.99 and the Galbi & Cold Noodles Combo for $32.99.Let's start with the Galbi & Cold Noodles Combo. The cold noodles left me with mixed feelings. They were decent but not outstanding, falling into the category of mediocrity. However, the Galbi stole the show. It was incredibly delicious and perfectly seasoned. The flavors were spot on, making it a highlight of the meal.As for the Galbitang, it was good but slightly on the salty side. The portion size, on the other hand, was generous, which I found to be a great value for the price.One thing that I really appreciated was the easily accessible parking lot. It made my visit much more convenient. Service was also spot on! They were super attentive and refilled the small dishes quickly.“
“Don’t get it twisted every L & L Hawaiian is not the same. This is the only one that cooks the curry shrimp right. It’s a hit 10 out of 10 every time. It’s uinder great management. The macaroni in the dinner plate is so good I’ve ordered more. It it's good hot and cold. You should visit. When you do tell them Omar sent you.“
“Best BBQ hands down! I have been getting my Que for over 3 years now. So much they know me by name and my order. I'm a no sauce person and a lot of places can't deliver that "wow" effect when it comes to seasoning. But Rowes seasonings is to perfection. All the sides are fire, my favorite is the potato salad. Plates are well portioned, for a great price. And we ain't gonna talk about the Peach Cobbler??. Gotta get there early tho, because by 3 or 4 some food can be sold, that's just how good it is. No cap, I have business I do bi weekly in the area and I never leave without going thru and grabbing a plate. Keep bringing that ? Que Rowe I'm a customer for life!!!“
“This place serves very delicious bbq food, a variety of meats beef and pork, and even turkey breasts have good flavors. I didn't give it a 5⭐️ because I had to pre-order the dino ribs a day in advance. They also open at 7am for their break fast menu. I didn't get to take a picture of the food because food was too good and forgot.“
“I absolutely love this place. The food was delicious and the environment inviting and enjoyable. We have been here a few times and everyone of them has been fantastic. The food is delicious and fun. The bbq style is great for promoting conversation and fun. Highly recommend it!“
“This restaurant was perfect for our group of 8! Staff was very accommodating to large groups: frequently checking up on us and removing used plates. We enjoyed the variety of meat and self-serve side of veggies and fruits. I enjoyed dipping cooked brisket in sesame oil and wrapping it in pickled radish! In terms of music, I wished they had more songs to their playlist. Maybe I zoned out while eating, but I heard songs play a second time in the hour that we were there. That's just me though, and it didn't take away from the food experience. Would come back again!“
“Was my first time I have been hearing it on the radio KJLH I passed by it . It was really good because I usually go to LA to get my barbecue all I got was delicious ? rib tips, greens, barbecue baked beans, bread ? off the hook. I have too go back too try the Rest.“
“Been here a few times, have ordered the pho, vermicelli, spring rolls, and a rice plate. I can easily recommend any of these items! My favorite so far has been the combo vermicelli where you can pick two proteins. If you're looking for your pho fix, this is the spot.“
