Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“Tranquil spot with various omakase options. Came here with my family for an early dinner and made a reservation online beforehand. We opted for the Sushi Bar Omakase for $109 which came with 8 courses (including dessert). A couple of courses had multiple pieces, and we left very full. The blue crab hand roll was my favorite part; it was huge, hot, and the sauce that accompanied it was delicious. The fish was super fresh and the pieces kept coming. It was fun to watch them being prepared right in front of us at the bar (there are table seats as well). We enjoyed our meal and I would recommend this for special occasions or a way to treat yourself.“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“Delicious food. Fast service. Get here early to avoid a long line.“

“Great food awesome experience“

“The taste is very good. Regular customers suggested that the rice bowls are too small. They are all freshly made and taste very good. Nowadays, there are too many pre-made dishes. The store is quite good. With so many bad reviews, I think many of them are discredited by peers. I recommend the lamb chops for 16.99.“

“Place is awesome!! Our waiter Peter gave us some great recommendations, made us feel really welcomed and remembered us on our second visit a month later. Great neighborhood “goto” place a good meal and drinks!!“

“So strange, when I’m in Hawaii, I plan my hotel to stay next to this place, and plan
Two meals there because I love it so
Much and yet this location is never busy 🤷🏽‍♀️ last time I went in Honolulu, I waited in like for 45 min for lunch . Try this place if you haven’t“

“Excellent Filipino fusion food.“

“To open a new Chinese restaurant in SGV, you better be good, or go broke. Auntie Qiu's specialities are legit. I was having lunch by myself, but I had to try their 2 specialties: the crab XLB and their pan-fried baos. Both excellent.

Order via the QR code. Faster. Or you can wait for the staff to take your order, which may take longer.“

“I have been coming here since the lovely family that ran this place retired. Though I was sad to see them go, I am glad to see the new owners running the place flawlessly like before. The quality of the food for the prices listed is unmatched. Great to see their menu expanded, and if you have not tried it , get the shrimp fried rice! So good!“

“Highly recommend the beef noodle soup! The meat was extremely tender and the broth was light and flavorful. The fried dumplings with beef and vermicelli were also equally delicious. Great that they provide complimentary egg drop soup. Excited to come back and try different dumpling flavors!“

“Excellent !!!!!!!!“

“Never had pokē before, it was really good. Very friendly staff.“

“Korean fusion sandwich shop located inside the mall. The spicy chicken sandwich was good, as expected, but nothing amazing. I guess it hards to find good food that's consistent since the other high reviews? Either way, I'd be back to try the other stuff if I was in the mall“

“When I’m in Whittier visiting my sister I always swing by for a bowl of Pho and spring rolls“

“I are here several times at the bar. Cooked on the open fire and had a few great conversations“

“The chipotle of asian food“

“For the amount you pay is totally a steal! The helpful server was very generous on my toppings. First time here and very impressed 🤗 Great place for lunch and possibly leftovers. Got a diy bowl and a drink. Total was around $23. Without tip!“

“It's better than three stars. Got the sashimi rice plate. Not bad. Coulda used more rice though. Like I'm talking a bed a rice. Didn't get sick, believe it or not. I'm kind of surprised by that. Must be a quality joint. I was feeling fish today. Folks have to know what they're serving up and I'm grateful for it. But yeah that rice woulda been better if it came on a bed of rice. Only complaint.

Edit: in hindsight this place is actually good af. Def want more rice on the sashimi rice plate though“

“Had a great meal here before a show at the Paramount. My husband had fajitas and I had the potato dish with added rosemary potatoes 🤩. I couldn’t finish mine - very filling but absolutely delicious. The proprietor is welcoming and helpful. We will definitely return and I will make more sensible choices!“

“Visited Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle for the first time this weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is located in the plaza on the corner of Atlantic and Garvey, with plenty of parking.

The menu is simple and straight forward. You start by choosing the desired soup base (bone broth, tomato, hot & sour, spicy) and then the protein offered under your desired soup base. If you wish to order additional toppings; there is a list of add-on you can pick from. The restaurant gives you the option to order using the QR code taped on the table or with the staff member. Soon after placing the order, they bring out the toppings to the dish, which consists of your desired meat, lettuce, generous portion of rice noodles, tofu, ham, green onion, seaweed, wood ear mushroom, corn, egg, etc. Lastly the soup base is served and you add the add all the toppings to your soup.

I ordered the tomato soup with sliced brisket; love the strong tomato flavor in the broth. If you are a tomato lover, this is the soup base to order.

Will definitely be coming back to try the other soup bases.“

“Love the food! It's cheap! I love the ambiance of the place too!“

“I had a chance to try this sushi on sunday at the Mar Vista Farmers Market. I got the vegan shiitake rolls, and It was delicious, and the owner is very friendly. I wish all the best to such a business because she makes everything of fresh and high-quality ingredients. Just wanted to mention here that this is not a regular restaurant with regular address, so go to their @ganchic Instagram for more information where you can find their goodies!“

“Wow- pure fire here - best house hot sauce ever- mix between a Mexican salsa n Tabasco 🔥🔥 very tasty- well the other bestest item were the beef noodles!! Thick noodles!! 🫶🏻“

“Good food, good spot, good peeps“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“I love this place and they also have Suntory Premium The Malts on tap!! I’m a little sad though because the menu says the ramen comes with an onsen egg but it’s just a standard ajitama. I love onsen eggs and was so excited only to be let down :( happened twice.“

“Food: Ordered the chicken and veggie bowl. They gave me extra waba sauce. Healthy and filling portion.

Service: Place was clean, and the staff was kind and fast. Good location.

Good food will come back.“

“Great place....spicy beef salad and mango sticky rice are awesome.“

“we order papaya salad hardyai chicken and pudkeemaw we like it all we will come back for sure.“

“The sushi here is solid. You get lots of pieces and thicker pieces of fish for a good price. My favorite roll was the sunset roll!

My family and I also ordered the tempura ice cream for dessert. It wasn’t the best tempura ice cream we’ve ever had. It could have had a crispier exterior and the ice cream didn’t have a strong matcha flavor.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“Just visited for the first time, and I had a great experience! Ramen was delicious, fries were outstanding, and the sushi hit the spot! Great selection to pick from! Highly suggest!“
