“Comida deliciosa! Muy buenservicio“

“Food was good, you could sit inside or out. The service was good but we had just finished our food and we were finishing up our drinks when our waitress just leans across the table to start restocking items. She got one walked away then came back a minute or two later 5 times. Never said excuse me or anything. There were plenty of open tables. Just didn't feel like she was very polite. My and my friends opinion.“

“Muy ricos 🤑 desayunar en ese lugar 💯👍🏼“

“Amazing customer service and excellent food!! I will definitely be back!“

“Love the Americana and nothing better than an egg on a sandwich“

“First time here, it’s popular and packed. So parking might be a challenge, the parking lot on sight is a bit condensed, we lucked out getting a parking space, but had to back in to the parking spot due to limited space. It seems, if you have a larger party, it may be a wait to be seated. Since there was only two of us, we were seated right away. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Seating area was a little tight, but they have fans circulating the air, so it made it tolerable. High energy music playing, but not overwhelming, nice background music-
From observation, presentation of the plates and showmanship was top notch. Portions of food were adequate. And quality of food was above average . There were flights of coffee and margaritas from what I observed. French toast and pancakes looked very appetizing and festive ( I’ll be trying them on a future visit). Overall a good experience and I have plans on returning to try other dishes. For this visit, we had the chilaquiles and the eggs divorciados. The chilaquiles were flavorful and filling, with plenty on the plate. The divorciados ,served with half a baked (menu stated baked potato but didn’t specify whole or half),had a great presentation and were good and flavorful- however being that I have a larger appetite than most, I could have used a little more on my plate. But overall a good experience and, I’m planning on future visits.“

“I brought a Denver Omlette to work. They're all jealous of me. It's packed with veggies and ham. It comes with a heaping serving of hash browns and toast. Yum!“

“i absolutely love this place. The owners are super sweet and the food is DDDEEELLISSHH!“

“Delicious food and wonderful staff“

“Thank you for decorating my uncles party it looks amazing truly love the Green Bay colors amazing tacos . Clean equipment and early delivery to ensure everything was met. Awesome service highly recommend“

“100% recomendado los mejores de LA“

“Fire…that’s what my 10yr old granddaughter says to say when things are really cool and delicious. So Firehouse Cafe is Fire 🔥 and I have to say my Chicken Cobb Wrap was off the charts delish!!! It was huge and had to take half of it home. It came with fries and I ordered the seasoned fries that were like a steak fry and cooked to perfection. My mom and Dad eat there all the time and love it. Dad says oatmeal is the best and it looked creamy and came with fruit, brown sugar and raisins. Mom had Cobb salad and it was so huge she couldn’t finish it. Everything was fresh. The waitstaff was so attentive and for being so crowded I was shocked how fast our food came out. We wanted for nothing except a couple of “to go boxes” and that was it. The only and I mean only thing I would say would downgrade a 1/4 star would be it’s a bit noisy when they wash the dishes up front and that is the worst of it and can be over looked cause the food and service are so fire. It’s really great to have a family owned neighborhood breakfast and lunch place that has something for everyone and when you’re there you are treated with kindness and you are really cared about. Thank you Firehouse Cafe. Love your selection“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and The Nest never disappoints. I always have great meals provided by the excellent and kind employees. It's also always filling! During the pandemic they were a welcome relief.“

“I LOVE their ordering and pay feature. You scan a barcode and open a tab. You can order and pay right from your phone. We were a large group-10 people so the great part was not having to figure out whose card we were going to use, zelleing all over gods green earth, who had what, etc. The only drawback is that we were all talking and some people ordered later than others so our food didn’t come out together but that was more on us. The breakfast food was beautifully plated and so good. I had the red velvet waffles, potatoes, cup of fruit and ABC juice (apple, beet, carrot) I shared everything and was still full. My bill was $41 with tip. The service was very friendly. They were able to accommodate our large group but I’m not sure I would recommend a large group because it’s a small restaurant. The parking was okay on Saturday morning. It’s free but that little street gets busy. I didn’t use the restroom so I don’t have comments about that. They are only open for breakfast then close at 11am and reopen later for Indian fusion food. I looked at a menu - and could smell the food. It smelled delicious. Will definitely be going back.“

“French toast so good and burritos.“

“best place for breakfast“

“The staff at this location is excellent. They are super friendly and always courteous (even when it's really busy). I typically go for breakfast and it's always prepared exactly how I ordered it. I highly recommend this restaurant. And if you go, ask for Rose to be your server, she's fantastic!“

“Great food and very friendly service. Didn't have to wait for our food. Highly recommend!“

“Love the food 🥘 very friendly environment and comfortable to have breakfast see you soon.“

“There were several vegetarian options and the service was excellent! My son and I will definitely be returning!

Vegetarian options: Tasty breakfast and lunch options for vegetarians!

Kid-friendliness: Excellent customer service! I will definitely be coming back. I brought my son with me and the owner, who was also working the register, was very kind and engaging.“

“This place is an old school Korean restaurant but the food is excellent. As someone who recently moved from Koreatown LA to a gateway city, I had to find my go to Korean restaurant and I think this is one of my favorite places. We like to get the Uhndaegoo jorim (braised black cod). Some of our other favorites are the dahk gae jang, as well as the bohtsahm. The atmosphere is very modest and simple, but this is the kind of place that suits me.

I highly recommend this place both for Korean traditionalists as well as non-Koreans who just want some really good quality Korean food.“

“This place is such a hole in the wall, would honestly come back. This place been around for a while but I never know this place exist because it’s so hidden.The service is a bit slow when prepping the food, but their tacos are to die for. I would come back any day for tacos!Parking lot is shared with other shops but not too busy! The menu is consistent and so is their food!Would come back again! Don’t let the small shop and sketchy look deceive you!“

“Great food prompt service and exceptional customer service

Parking: Nice location clean with plenty of parking offering dine in and take out

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly with a kids menu that comes with crayons and activities

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible and accommodating“

“Service: Waitress was on point! Friendly Personality. Giovanni, very courteous and was very helpful..“

“Had a tasty experience at No Toro Cafe this morning! Brought my family to enjoy some great food! We had the Banana Nutella pancakes, Chocolate Chip and Banana French toast, the Sniper Scramble, and more! We definitely will be coming back for breakfast! We were seated quickly, and the service was top tier! Very welcoming and gave us a family feel! I definitely recommend this place!

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly!“

“I go there for late night breakfast and it's always cool cause you can get a burger too 😊👍“

“First thing as a heads up they are to go orders only since the pandemic. There's no parking on the site.

Now I had the breakfast: eggs, grits, pork chop, and pancakes

The grits and pork chop was delicious, and the pancakes were just how I like em!

I've read a lot of stuff about this place having a rude owner, but the man who helped today was everything but rude.

I came to the door not realizing it was order to go only, but he was kind enough to walk me through his menu process (QR code) and even walked the food over to my car. The next parking lot over. The owners name is David, and he informed Naka's broiler has been serving the Compton area for 66 years! This establishment is a local treasure and Should be treated as such.

Give respect to earn respect, c'mon y'all didn't you watch Mr Rogers?“

“Even though I didn't even eat there I did go in to see if I can get free food for me and the homie, If I made them all laugh at a comedy ? but they turned me down lol but the food is better than "Denny's"( don't tell Denny's I said that).“

“Everything was good, EXCEPT the pancakes! They were small, cold, dry, hard, and flavorless. The butter was so cold it put holes in them while trying to spread it, and they didn't give you anywhere near enough.
My burger was delicious and I enjoyed the bottomless coffee... ☕️“

“Me encantan sus chilaquiles y muy buenas porciones a precios accesibles“

“Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and The Nest never disappoints. I always have great meals provided by the excellent and kind employees. It's also always filling! During the pandemic they were a welcome relief.“

“The food was great, great little place“

“The cafeteria is a standard food hall with lots of seating and tables.

The main reason I go here is because of their Cali Cob salad is phenomenal. As a person that has tried lots of high end salads at other establishments, this salad is one of the best cobs I’ve ever had.

Almost as great as Joey’s in DTLA. The vegetables are very fresh, the dressing is excellent. I love that it has a lot of chicken pieces that are delicious and egg along with bacon pieces. It’s a solid salad for the price and one of my favorite salads of all time. I highly recommend it.

I will definitely come back to eat that salad & I’ll continue to try their other menu items.“

“If you're looking for a good spot to eat close to the DTLA court houses, check out the Galero Grill in the Cathedral complex. A five minute walk from the court houses with good food at reasonable prices. Plus, there's a lovely patio with tables to enjoy your meal in peace (other than the Cathedral chimes on the hour). It's run by the Patina group so, although the food isn't fancy, the quality is very good.“

“👍 Ice coffee🥤& fresh bread🥖
Read the negative reviews… Isn’t that bad if you speak to owner there in the morning. She can fix any issues & willing to accommodate.
True that servers doesn’t speak English, but you can ask casher in front; on other side of bread section.
Most Vietnamese’s food must be eaten ASAP for quality & health. It could only sit in room temperature for very short period of time…otherwise, it will taste hard or spoil.

Parking: Good luck parking in morning especially weekends. Ask security for quick pickup lane at left side private parking…“

“Súper buen servicio, muy amables y sobre todos rápidos“

“muy ricos los desayunos se los recomiendo ☕️🥞“

“Your average donut place with coffee and pastries. Only cash, has an ATM but just take cash. Nothing out of the ordinary. It is simple and easy. Pastries are really good. Only outstanding thing is how cheap the donuts and coffees are, really good price.“

“The place has always been clean when I ordered food. The staff are kind ? and professional with the customers ?. Their menu is varied, and everything that I gave ordered is well cooked and delicious ?!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is enough space in between tables to be able to accommodate a person in a wheelchair ♿️.“

“Courtyard Marriott hotel food spot. Good but pricey. Steel cut oatmeal is good and comes with fruit. Decent beer and bourbon selection. $7 cappuccino. Interior is blah hotel but there’s a fire pit outside that’s perfect for Cali nights. Friendly service.“

“Seated very quickly with no wait. The lone server was hustlin nonstop, so when our order arrived, it was half correct, and he was already off to fetch the next order up before I could take my next breath. I was able to inform him after his next drop. In the blink of an eye, he had replaced the incorrect dish with the one we had originally ordered, and just like that, he was off to the races, taking the rogue dish to its rightful owner. The food was delicious, and as we were leaving, it appeared the next shift if employees were arriving to relieve or assist.

Parking: Restaurant row, plentiful parking“
