“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“We had such a fantastic time at the Great White Cafe! The atmosphere was great, and the food was even better. My burger was absolutely tremendous - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My girlfriend loved her chocolate mousse, which was rich and decadent. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal and a great vibe!“

“Fun place, great food/coffee , great energy without all the excessive pretentious weirdness. The most authentic and sincere business in that area.“

“All around great restaurant“

“Great food. The lamb is amazing. So assuming in this small plaza. I usually go here and the X-Press dry cleaners next door once a week. It’s my Thursday routine. Pickup dinner and cleaning. The owner is really cool and the workers are chill.“

“The food was excellent! The service was excellent also ! Nice place“

“I loved it. Everything is clean and the staff very friendly. And fist time going they help u order .“

“Sandwich was hilariously large. This would definitely be good after the beach for 2 people. I chose one that sounded like the stuff would not go together as an experiment. Every ingredient is top of the line, sooooo good. Top tier Sammy for sure. Interior crazy small and crowded, better to order online and take it with u.“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“The food and environment!“

“If I could leave 10 stars, I would.

My stomach hurt last night but I didn't want to give up the res. We went and asked if they had any soup or anything simple...the chef made us soup from scratch. Didn't take long. The attention to detail and care for customers has been unmatched by any other LA restaurant. period.“

“A little not-too-out-of-the-way mexican restaurant. Both inside and outside dining at a fair price (remember this is LALA Land). No booze but only a $2 charge to bring your own. Friendly service. We visit santa monica/venice a few times a year and we'll put this place on our return list.“

“Over the past year Lokal has been my absolutely favorite place in LA. If you’re a Venice/ Santa Monica or even marina del ray or Culver City local you have to start regularly coming here.

Not once have I had a bad dish or a bad guest experience. The staff is always incredibly friendly and accommodating, the food and bevvies are super consistent and have not had one miss on this menu.

Whether it’s an on the go AM coffee, a small lunch burger to refuel me or a cozy dinner sandwich to wrap up my day. This place has been the spot.

The prices are extremely reasonably ( if not the most reasonable in West LA) and again, can’t emphasize the overall consistency enough. Love ya lokal!!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Man oh man! Our dog paid for this one, his name is Bruno and he’s a wonderful little Frenchie. If you see him, feel free to say what’s up. He’s very social.

Anyways, Wallflower is a vibrant and inviting Indonesian place on Abbot Kinney. The bathrooms are wonderful, the outdoor space is fun, and the inside looks magnificent.

The service is also really lovely. They’re very down to earth, passionate, knowledgeable, and helpful! Everybody seems really content.

Now - the main piece - the food!

The winner is always the duck lumpia. It is colorful, crunchy, savory, umami, it’s got it all! The papaya salad was great but it was a tad bit too spicy - it feels as though it should have been communicated that it might leave us a little bit singed. But great work nonetheless.

The only other thing we had was the Japanese curry. Which was good not great. Pretty good!

The DRINKS were the stars of the show. My girlfriend had all the gin drinks, and I had the bourbon, whiskey, and reposado (yes, I’m crazy!).

Anna’s thoughts: “south east-sider was the number one gin drink. Very fresh and yummy. Second best was the red envelope. Very interesting with the egg white and all around nice! Third place was the object of affection. Which sounded amazing. But kind of tastes like a fancy vodka cran? If you know what I mean.”

This is a fun spot to with good company. !“

“The food is fantastic! We had spicy dumplings, Sushi rolls and Pad Thai. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were outstanding! - (Not the ridiculous appetizer size portions a lot of Japanese restaurants serve). We went on a rainy weekday evening, the atmosphere was quiet. The place has an upscale neighborhood feel to it, extremely warm and comfortable. The service was spot on, we never waited or had to try to get the attention of our server, she was on great.“

“Had a great meal! Forwent ordering potstickers in order to try the enticingly named Gang of 4 ×4 - a delicious decision! The Mao's Hometown was just-right spicy, and I'm sure they put more than $2 extra shrimp on my order. Service friendly and prompt, loved the art. I felt as though I had wandered back into college in the early '70s.“

“Good eats love this place“

“Always the first place I go when I get to LA“

“Excellent service and Food. It was Dine LA so we ordered that menu and the food was coursed out. Absolutely superb! What a great way to sample the chef’s specialties. Our waiter was the best!!!! Looking forward to dining again.“

“Tried it yesterday. Stopped for a coffee and stayed for the outdoor seating. The cappuccino was excellent!“

“Marlene was so lovely! A true hole in the wall and George puts care into the food! Their house made salsas & sauces are incredible, highly recommend the salsa verde and the green crema! (Can't go wrong with any tbh) Get the fish taco too!!! Can't wait to go back ❤️ ✨“

“From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, stylish, and inviting—perfect for a night out. We kicked things off with drinks, and I had a Hugo Spritz—light, refreshing, and the perfect way to ease into the evening.

We went with the DineLA menu, which was a great way to sample a variety of their dishes. For starters, we ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and Vegetable Tempura—featuring zucchini and asparagus. Both were beautifully presented and full of flavor, especially that crispy rice, which had just the right balance of spice and texture.

For the mains, we chose two standout rolls:
🍣 The Kinney Roll, which combined salmon, yellowtail, spicy tuna, serrano, truffle ponzu, avocado, and sesame oil—an absolute explosion of flavor in every bite.
🌱 And the Rio Roll, a vegetarian twist on sushi, which was just as thoughtful and delicious.

One highlight? The fresh wasabi—seriously next level. It had a brightness and heat that really woke up the palate.

Now, for dessert, we tried the Tres Leches and a Matcha Tiramisu. Unfortunately, this is where the meal fell a little flat. The desserts didn’t quite live up to the rest of the experience—we found them underwhelming and lacking that wow factor.

Service-wise, the staff was incredibly attentive, and everything came out quickly and smoothly. Big kudos to our waiter who made us feel well taken care of.

🎯 Final verdict: Overall, Owa delivered on flavor, ambiance, and service. A few missteps with dessert, but I’d still give it a solid 7 out of 10. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area and craving Japanese with a creative, modern twist.“

“Best prices in Venice Beach coolest staff on earth“

“Stopped in for a break from the beach and heat and, as lovers of all things Italian, this was an easy choice. We had pizza and ice creams, all of which were delicious. I loved the fact that you could try a little sample of the gelato before choosing your flavour. Most importantly, the coffee was excellent!\n\nService was really good, and we were made to feel welcome; seating is a bit limited but we managed to get a table under one of the umbrellas outside, which suited us just fine. \n\nDefinitely recommend: an authentic Italian cafe with an awesome view.“

“I was in Chacha Matcha today and had such a nice experience with one of your employees, Ana Kate. It was my first time there and she was so courteous and helpful when placing my order. She offered great suggestions. Great experience. I’ll be back! Penny McNabb“

“Before coming to try their pizzas I made a list of 6 possible slices I would like to try just in case they were out of a few.

When I arrived they had everything! Amazing to me they had all pizzas available but it did make it hard for me to narrow down my choices lol

They were all friendly & patient explaining each slice.

I ended up choosing the Fourway, Popeyes, and Marinated BBQ Chicken. The slices were big and it took me two times to eat it all!

They each were rich in flavor & had their own distinctive taste. I am very impressed & sad they are not local to me.

I will be back soon! Keep doing what yall are doing 🖤“

“Tried it yesterday. Stopped for a coffee and stayed for the outdoor seating. The cappuccino was excellent!“

“🥙☕️💜I am an avid taco lover. We had never been to this adorable Taco Restaurant in Venice Beach before.
The first thing I noticed was how clean it was.
I was now anxious to have my fave food in life - beef tacos! THEY WERE out of this world.
Our entire family enjoyed the food & a quaint ambience. The Coffee is excellent as well.
I give this “Young Kid Shop”’ 5 stars! Because, if it is not on the Menu, I would bet my life Miss NADIA would not only make it, it would be absolutely delicious!
It is the cutest little beach taco shop on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Check it out.
💟🥙🏖️“

“Buena comida 🥘 buen lugar para una buena velada“

“Smoothies were delicious. I ordered the hang over and my friend got the açai one. Hoped for a quick drink stop before I had to go to work. However, there was only one staff and not too many customers (one ahead of me in line and one waiting on an order) yet I was there for over half an hour from the time I walked in. Staff was friendly but I dont understand how it took so long. Other customers behind me in line were drunk and chatty which gave for an interesting atmosphere.“

“This is the best place in the area to enjoy a high-quality breakfast. The ingredients are extremely fresh and flavorful, including the freshly squeezed fruit juices. While the space has a more warehouse-style bakery feel, the staff are very friendly, responsive, and welcoming, and the presentation is excellent.

The variety of breakfast options is impressive—especially the smoked salmon, which is outstanding. Over the past few years, we’ve had many great experiences here, often bringing friends and family to enjoy breakfast together.“

“Best gluten free treats around! It's a small shop, but I love the vibe! I can't wait to order my birthday cake and party treats!! Parking can be tough at times...but street parking is available!“

“This is another gem I take visitors to all the time, mostly for a late breakfast. I come here for 20+ years. I gotta be honest: If you are looking for the best ... whatever food .... in town, don't bother to go. This place is about atmosphere and having a good time. The food is good, and we had an amazing time with our waiter Shilly yesterday - and left well fed and with $100 for the four of us fairly priced - given the location I would have expected more. Wow - five stars for OK food? Absolutely. In my very own rating scheme, it is mandatory for five stars that I would be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to go to this particular place. And I did. Many times. And will do it again. We've been to the Ivy's in Beverly Hills the night before. It would be totally unfair to compare on a mere culinary basis. Go here - prepared to have a good time - and you will.“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“Wish there was one in the LBC but probably good there isn't bc I'd be spending like all my money there lol. Moon Juice will always be my absolute fave. It's my personal vision for the future. High nutrient, apothecary level, zero waste food available as plentiful as McDonald's lol. So thankful for the creatrix that is Amanda Chantal Bacon and all she has taught me and enriched my existence with! The flagship location is amazing and I make my way there anytime I'm in the vicinity. I love the girls who work there and appreciate the thoughtful chats and shilajit shots. 😉“

“En general todo está bueno, en lo personal el café👍“

“Passing this cute cafe for uncountable times, I finally made my way there. Yeah, it's always tricky visiting places at the busiest spot of Venice Beach - joy of finding parking spot in LA! Besides they mostly looked pretty busy on weekends, probably great stop to make while enjoying the stroll by the beach.

Their interior was nothing but SLAY. Period. Contemporary retro vibe, with great ambience to just sit killing time or even get some work done.

For the cup size, the coffee was quite pricey yet the great taste made it worth. I loved their Salted Caramel Latte, which was more on the sweeter side. I have been eyeing their pastries but unfortunately they were all gone when I arrived.“

“Super déco et très bonne nourriture . Un vrai régal . On a adoré“

“Food is Amazing and Staff treats you like family. Been goung here since 1996 . My Favorite is the Chicken Enchildas with Hreen Sauce.“

“Plant based ice cream with almonds as the main source? Who would have thought? Delicious“

“For a small take out poke place, this was great. The fish was fresh, and all the ingredients in our poke bowls were well thought out. We had the mango albacore poke bowl and the shitake chili tofu bowl.

Lots of people came and picked up takeout. They do have two small tables in the front on the sidewalk. I would definitely get their poke bowls again. Not much atmosphere needless to say.“

“My daughter turned 35 yesterday. Which means I went to Hama sushi 36 years ago. At that time my friend and I were pregnant and convinced ourselves hama sushi Tasted too good to contain any parasites.😄.

And so I was heartbroken to see that their exterior had been destroyed. Esther, I will be bringing by some shells and air plants today. Hopefully you will see that the neighborhood does not want you to get discouraged by the current conditions of our wonderful neighborhood.“
