“Good little spot for thai food! Nice ambience, friendly staff, and good food. My firend liked the chili glaze fish and I got the crab fried rice that was yummy. Steamed dumplings were average. My other friends got green beef curry and beef krapow. Both also enjoyed their meals. Would recommend!“

“A Hidden Gem for Vietnamese Comfort Food!
I had an incredible dining experience at this Vietnamese restaurant. The standout dish was their beef stew pho, which was absolutely unforgettable. The broth was rich, flavorful, and deeply comforting—unlike any pho I’ve had before. It had a unique blend of spices that gave it a slightly sweet, aromatic depth, and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. What made it even better? It came with a warm, soft baguette on the side—perfect for dipping into the broth. So simple, but such a game changer.
I also tried their vermicelli special, and it did not disappoint. It came beautifully arranged with grilled meats, fresh herbs, and crispy spring rolls—all bursting with flavor and texture. Every bite was balanced and satisfying.
If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese flavors with a creative twist, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Giving a five stars is because it’s a Taiwanese restaurant. Happy to taste some home flavor!
It was my first time visit this restaurant in the morning. I ordered pan fried pork buns, you tiao, iced sweetened soy milk, and a fan tuan to go. I highly recommend fan tuan because the taste is actually the same in Taiwan. For pork buns, not much flavorful. The soy milk is pretty good actually!
I will come by lunch or dinner time to try different menus!
*update on 5/6
Went back to try the lunch menu. Ordered a won ton soup and a beef noodle soup. I believe won ton soup with sea weed and some pepper would be better! As for the beef noodle soup, three huge beaf with great soup, better have the noodles with the soup to get more flavor!
Willing to try the other dishes on the menu.“

“A great little gem. We stopped in for dinner - not especially hungry due to late lunch but knew we needed to eat something. We split the cucumber salad - so fresh and tasty, a little sweet, a little salty. It’s sold as a small appetizer but, easily splittable. Then pork potstickers and veggie pancakes - eight of each, so plenty to share and also very tasty. Definitely would go back. Friendly attentive service to round out a great find.“

“Food was good. The chicken wings were crispy and fresh. Noodles and broth tasted very well and good seasoned. The staff were all amazing and accommodating. My grandmother was not feeling well, and one of the staff gave her medicine making her feel better. Overall 10/10; have to go for authentic Thai food.“

“A must-visit spot with an entirely vegan menu bursting with flavor. The Truffle Mac 'n' Cheese is unreal—creamy and rich enough to question its vegan status (confirmed by the owner!). Standouts include Spicy Garlic Ramen, Smoked Chili Ramen, and addictive Avocado Crispy Rice. Sushi rolls and sides like Japanese curry shine too. Cozy ambiance, quick service, and bold dishes make it worth the hunt in the unassuming plaza. Minor tofu texture quirks are forgiven for the explosive flavors. Pricey but worth every bite! 🌱✨ Updated from previous review on 2025-08-05“

“Absolutely incredible banh mi sandwich. The bread was incredibly fresh, and the tofu and mushroom filling was very flavorful. Can’t recommend highly enough. Also, Alvin (co-owner) is a true class act gentleman. Can’t recommend the experience highly enough.“

“Clean, simple decor and friendly service. Was pleasantly surprised by the lunch special offered and ordered the spicy Yuzu Miso Ramen (at the server's suggestion) with a 3pc side of takoyaki. So happy with the choice!
The takoyaki wasn't drowned in mayo, the sauce was perfectly balanced, and it was genuinely some of the best I've tried in LA.
The ramen! Wow. The noodles were perfect to me. They had a good bite to them and they didn't try to slither out of my chopsticks while en route to my mouth. The meat was incredibly tender and slightly fatty, but not greasy. The broth wasn't overly salty or spicy and had a refreshing yuzu taste that didn't overwhelm the creamy miso flavor. My SIL pointed out how fresh the bamboo shoots tasted as they didn't have that vinegary tang to them that canned ones did.
I finished my bowl (something I can rarely manage) and didn't have the uncomfortable heavy feeling I've had with other miso-based ramen.
I can't wait to go back for the dinner hour and try patio dining

“Tl;Dr: Kid friendly and delicious food (kid approved!). This may be our new spot now - jinsol is good but we've gone too many times and it feels a bit too heavy (we always feel thirsty/bloated after eating there). The combination of naengmyeon + gukbap here helps cut the heaviness.
Waiter was sooooo nice to our toddler. He brought out flashing toys and a hand fan for him and gave us an extra white rice on the house since we said he would eat that over purple (he recommended the purple rice for us). Our son ate so much of the galbi tang with cabbage. We enjoyed it a lot too, but maybe we enjoyed it even more because he ate so well. The naengmyeon was also delicious. Overall a great experience. we will definitely be back.“

“I recently tried Kyoto Paitan Ramen last week and Curry Ramen this week at this spot. The Kyoto Paitan Ramen was good, but I was really impressed by the Curry Ramen. It wasn’t very spicy, but it was packed with flavor. I prefer thicker noodles, so I’d love to see that option next time. Overall, a great experience!“

“🚨 New in Koreatown! 🚨
Say hello to Jjamppong Zizon (짬뽕 지존 LA), the hottest import straight from South Korea with over 100 locations—and now one right here in LA! 🔥
🌶 Spice Level Goals: From a mild 30% heat to a fiery 100%, there’s a level for everyone. Not into spice? No problem—they’ve got non-spicy options too! Pro tip: their proprietary red pepper flakes (brought directly from Korea) are at every table, so you can customize the heat to your liking.
🍜 What We Tried:
• Jjamppong (spicy seafood soup): Choose noodles, rice, sujebi (hand-pulled dough), or tofu! I went for tofu, and let me tell you—the velvety texture with the seafood broth is chef’s kiss.
• Jjajjangmyun (black bean noodles): Perfectly chewy noodles coated in a light, savory sauce. Add a sprinkle of those red pepper flakes for a flavor upgrade.
• Tang Siu Yuk (sweet & sour pork): Delicate batter, bold pineapple-sweet sauce, and juicy pork. A must-try!
• Fried Dumplings: Crispy perfection. Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for an unforgettable dipping sauce.
• Shrimp Fried Rice Combo: Comes with a bowl of jjamppong soup and jjajjangmyun sauce—because why choose when you can have both?
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Jjamppong Zizon redefines Korean-style Chinese food with dishes that are light, clean, and full of flavor. No food coma, just satisfaction.

“The Pho is enough for 2 people and it's delicious! We have had both the chicken and the Wagu beef. Also, the rice plates with fried rice and either Wagu beef or spicy pork is really good. We get one of each (Pho and rice plate) and share. We are quite full and satisfied when we finish! And the prices are very reasonable.“

“Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — Hae Ha Heng Thai Bistro nails it with both their Pad Thai and Papaya Salad.
The Pad Thai is perfectly stir-fried with tender chicken, chewy rice noodles, and a rich, balanced sauce. Topped with crisp bean sprouts, shredded carrots, and a lime wedge for a fresh kick.
The Papaya Salad is a vibrant mix of crunchy veggies, peanuts, shrimp, and that signature Thai tangy-spicy flavor. Super refreshing and visually stunning!
Both dishes are a delicious blend of tradition and presentation. Highly recommend!

“Great quality salmon, sushi's tasty, however the tiger steak is NOT worth $45, maybe $15 (and that's being generous because it comes with rice and a small side salad) but definitely not $45 friggin bucks, save your money for the sushi because the sushi's delicious“

“Viet Noodle Bar in Glendale is more than just a restaurant; it’s a staple, an institution, a place that has quietly but consistently delivered some of the best Vietnamese food in the area for years. It’s not about flash or trends—just solid, comforting bowls of noodles, fragrant broths, and fresh ingredients that keep locals coming back.
The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, the kind of place where regulars nod at each other over steaming bowls of phở or turmeric-laced bánh mì chao. Service is straightforward and efficient, with no unnecessary frills—just good food brought out quickly and done right. The menu is focused but refined, emphasizing quality over quantity. Their signature dishes, particularly the noodle soups and rice bowls, showcase a balance of flavors that feel both traditional and refreshingly light.
Despite Glendale’s ever-evolving dining scene, Viet Noodle Bar has held its own, serving as a dependable go-to for those who want a satisfying meal without the fuss. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need hype—it just exists, quietly excelling, and that’s what makes it essential.“

“Came for lunch alone, it was fairly busy around 12:00 to 1:00 pm and got a table. Order the combo dumplings along with fried pork cutlets. The Dumplings were ok, nothing to specials, Loved the pork cutlet comes with barbeque sauce, small salad, and dark rice. The server was nice and polite even though there was a language barrier we managed to easily commuincate. I'll order from here again, but take out only.“

“WHY DID YOU DROP THE CRISPY SKIN CHICKEN!? This has always been one of our favorite restaurants in LA, easily among the top 5 fried chicken dishes in the city. It was recently replaced with a chicken katsu, and I don’t understand why. Please come to your senses and bring back LA’s finest chicken. Ditto the cumin lamb.“

“I was looking for a quick lunch while I was out walking my dogs. I was craving Thai food and stumbled upon this place with a few small tables outside. The staff were really friendly and even brought water out for the pets. The menu is extensive and I appreciated the photos of each dish because it helped me order new items I haven’t tried. The food came out quickly and was really good. I recommend!
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and clearly labeled dishes
Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options on the menu and made to order noodles
Parking: There’s a valet that’s $3 for 90 minutes but there’s also free 1-hour street parking nearby
Kid-friendliness: Would recommend - extensive menu
Wheelchair accessibility: All one level“

It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“There should be a line around the block to get into this place. The braised pork belly fried rice is amazing. We ordered veggie rolls, shrimp rolls, and braised pork belly fried rice. All delicious. Very reasonable prices. There is a little something extra spice wise in the fried rice. I can't quite identify the spice, but it makes all the difference. It's possibly the best pork belly I've had from a restaurant“

The customer service was very good! The server was kind, polite, and had a wonderful smile.
However, the taste of the food is extremely ordinary? and there is nothing wrong with it...
It tastes like home cooking in a good way.
The rice flour noodles and chili oil on the table were very delicious.“
