“Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?“

“I loved my dining experience there! The decor is warm and special; the service, impeccable, and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. I recommend the lobster spring rolls, the calamari and shrimp salad, and the duck fried rice. If you really like lemongrass, then try the seared scallops!“

“The sushi was on point. I had a caterpillar roll. The ingredients were fresh and I was full from the size of the roll! Also, it was quite a deal too as I had dinner on a Wednesday. Currently, Monday through Friday the restaurant is offering 20% off.“

“Rasarumah is a great find and well deserving of its Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. I came here with a friend and we ordered a few dishes to share, and everything we had was excellent.
The char kway teow stood out right away. The stir-fried noodles had great flavor and texture, with Chinese sausage and fried fish cake adding a nice balance of savory and slightly sweet notes.
We also ordered the fried Hainan chicken with garlic rice. The chicken was crispy on the outside while still juicy, and the garlic rice was fragrant and really satisfying.
For dessert we finished with the cendol sundae with coconut pandan ice cream. It was refreshing and a great way to end the meal, with the pandan and coconut flavors coming through nicely.
Overall, a really enjoyable meal and a spot I would happily come back to.“

“A really wonderful dining experience! The food is so creative while maintaining integrity to both Thai and Japanese cuisines. It was really fun to be all seated at the bar for the Autumn kaiseki menu. The sommelier was so fun and friendly and recommended not only incredible wines, but bonus sake tastings well. it's the kind of place that does a fixed menu, but you wanna keep going back because it rotates and everyone's so friendly a perfect blend of upscale and Neighbourhood vibe..“

“Even through storms does NT Noodles provide their delicious variety of dishes and noodles to us, where their passion can be tasted in their food, and their care in each dish set down by the cooks themselves. Their easygoing attitudes, clean and green atmosphere, and location provides a good stop for food during shopping!“

“The food is sooooo good!!! It’s my comfort food now but the service is awful…We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. When I asked for two pairs of chopsticks at the counter, the staff member appeared to ignore me completely. I had to repeat my request twice before she reluctantly looked up and threw the chopsticks at me. The service was disappointing and unnecessarily rude.“

“FABULOUS SERVICE ! We rate great service above everything else and if we don't get it.....we don't come back ! My wife and I were heading to Santa Monica ( 152 miles from Solana Beach ) for a weekend getaway on Friday and needed a planned lunch stop on the way. Last year when I renewed my Australian passport at the Australian Consulate-General in L.A my wife jumped online and found a Lokal Sandwich Shop on National Blvd close by for our lunch break. The sandwiches, drinks and service were excellent at that location and we expected the same here. Considering we were heading towards L.A on a busy Friday we made great time. We parked in the private carpark and walked in about 12.30pm. It was bright and cheery inside just like the other location we visited. A sweet young lady named Emily greeted us straight off. First up we both had to hit the restrooms ( nice & clean ) after our non-stop drive from Solana Beach. NO PROB ! And then we sat at a table ready to select our lunch order. At the service counter we ordered 1 x ICED LATTE, 1 x THAI ICED TEA, 1 X BBQ PORK BANH MI ( cucumber, jalapeño, mayo, housed pickled daikon & carrots, cilantro on a baguette ) and 1 X THE CUBANO ( Ham, shredded pork, pickled cucumber, swiss cheese, mayo, dijon mustard on toasted rustic sourdough ). BONUS BONUS BONUS...when I checked in on YELP I got an offer for 20% off our first visit. I TOOK IT ! So far so good...very friendly service from Emily the cashier and WE LIKED THE VIBE....an intangible thing that you feel. Our iced drinks were ready in next to no time and tasted very refreshing. I haven't savored a BBQ Pork Banh Mi since last year ( at a Lokal Sandwich Shop ) and this one did not disappoint...hitting all the right fresh and healthy notes. My wife went nuts over The Cubano...quite a large fully loaded sandwich. It wasn't real busy at that time of day so we took our time enjoying our delicious lunch. I noticed that they had craft beer on tap...I didn't see that at the location we visited last year. I asked Vanessa behind the counter....why is this location called Lokal Sandwich + Burger Bar instead off Lokal sandwich Shop ? And Vanessa replied...because this location sells beer. OK ! We really enjoyed everything we ordered here and had a relaxing break from driving. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“Fresh, healthy food w generous portions. I had the hana salad w chicken and the iced matcha cloud latte. The salad was fresh and their sauce/condiment bar made it extra tasty. The matcha was super yummy, on par or better with any specialty coffee/tea place. The Okinawa sugar made it elevated, though I ordered it less sweet. Will def be back!“

“Very good customer service and vibes I love the decorations and how clean it is. The ramen and potstickers were very filling and definitely worth trying. I keep coming back for the spicy tonkatsu ramen but the sushi was not very good especially for the price...
Another complaint I have is the chopsticks feel very cheap and hard to work with plus $2.50 for a can of coke isn't really something to look forward to with your meal
P.S. I'll definitely be back but I felt the need to give an honest review“

“RUN DONT WALK to this restaurant the food was truly phenomenal, ordered the sushi omikase for 80$ a person the variation of different fish and the quality of the cuts was amazing. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Parking is a bit limited but it’s definitely worth the trip.“

“Really excited about this restaurant, one of the few Chinese American restaurants serving refined Chinese dish with a twist. We were seated immediately once everyone in our party of 4 has arrived. It is an open kitchen concept so you could take a peek of the action from the dining room. We visited this place after it just made the Michelin guide list, so there was quite a buzz on that Sunday evening. The cocktail selections are great and tasty, interesting mixes of East and West. The sesame sourdough and the seaweed butter are excellent. The wagyu beef tongue carpaccio is a bit too saucy. The duck sausage meatball and the Poached scallops are good but nothing special. The Roasted fish, Grilled short rib and the fried chicken are amazing and well prepared and seasoned. However the Roast Pork is chewy and not very good. Vanilla sponge dessert is delicious.“

“I was hungry and near this place and as much as I don’t like their ‘No Cash’ policy, I decided to eat here.
I tried their pork belly with chow mien and their tiga cola chicken, the pork belly was excellent, tiga cola chicken was ok,
I bought their 2 item bowl, I probably will try their rice with 1 entree next time.
Service was friendly and professional, the place was kept clean“

“I almost didn't want to post about this place because i dont want this place to get too busy! I like the chill (titanic) vibe and delicious food above all. I get my most frequent take out dinners here. My favorite is Galbi-Tang, its very similar to caldo de rez, but with different veggies. Anyway, hoping this helps someone decide this is a good reliable spot to try sometime when youre craving Korean food.“

“I finally made it to Chibiscus and had an excellent meal. It is a small shop with a few tables and has some cute decor. And it has parking!!! There is street parking as well if the lot is full. It is not a huge book of a menu. But the choices are well done, and everyone should be able to find something they want here. I started with the veggie potstickers and a spicy tuna hand roll. And then had the chicken curry dish as my entrée. Do not order too much at first, save some room for dessert. Oh my gosh! The desserts look amazing, and folks drive from all over for the brick toasts here. My food arrived after just a bit. The potstickers were good. Good flavor and not overcooked, along with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy tuna handroll was huge! What a deal! Maybe 6-7 bites to eat it all. The curry came out and was a good amount of food, just like everything else that had already been served. A large scoop of rice, some pickled ginger and a big bowl of Curried chicken came out. It was really hot, and I needed to let it cool a bit before digging in. It had a nice flavor, like a brown sauce with curry added maybe(?). Potatoes, carrots, and plenty of chicken, it was a good amount of food. I probably should have taken some food home but ended up just eating everything there. Next time, dessert!“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“We've been coming here for 20 years and I think this is the best Thai food in Los Angeles. They use high quality meat and seafood and the taste is very authentic. Their chicken basil and spicy shrimp are a couple of our favorites. The staff here are so sweet. Family owned and operated. Thai food absolutely does not get better than this!!!“

“Going here is a trade-off: you get good food quality and quantity, but the service and vibe are bad. You’ll eat well, but the hostess might be rude and you’ll likely have to wait. $30 for all-you-can-eat sushi is a fair price for those concessions.
The tablet ordering is good because you don’t have to deal with the staff. Once you actually sit down and start ordering, the service is quick. The sushi was high quality and Menu A has enough variety. They constantly nag you about the 90-minute limit, the wait times between rounds, and the extra charges for unfinished food. It’s annoying, but it won't stop me from stuffing my face.“
“Best clubhouse and support group around. I love that they have a great homemade Thai food restaurant and wonderful people that work there, especially the men at the front desk.
Absolutely warm and loving place with tremendous support and meetings. 💕🤟

The only thing that is frustrating, is that their closing time is not accurate with what they have it listed on google, I’ve had doordash orders go through that never came in, and i showed up to the location to be denied.. 30 minutes before listed closing time.“

“Good food, I got the #1 and the portions were very filling. They offer samples of the teriyaki chicken which got me to order the dish. Although the actual dish wasn't as sauced, the meat was still tender and tasty. Only downside was that some bites of rice were uncooked.“

“Seeing other customers throwing money at the server, seemingly because they scanned a takeout qrcode to dine in, and seeing the server cry on Thanksgiving,anyway treating a server like that is rude and barbaric. I also hope the restaurant can adjust the spiciness of their hot pot it's just too spicy“

“Vegan review:
The food quality is really great. Tastes fresh and crunchy and its really good. I got the vegetable roll and it was good. Only reason for 4 stars is price. For what it is and where it is and how much was in the roll, especially it being only vegetables, it was quite expensive. I mean not too much but for the price a larger quality would be better.“

“I visited Tony’s Barbecue to check them out.
They are located at the corner of the strip mall, very easy to overlook unless you are looking for it. The inside wall has their menu selection along with their prices.
They greeted me with a warm welcome, which made me feel at ease., they have 4 tables which will seat 14 diners. The service was friendly and professional.
I ordered their Chicken Inasal meal special and was told that it would be freshly made so it would take approx 15 minutes to prepare. It was ready in about that time,
The meal includes a small bowl of egg flour soup, a small cup Scoop of Java rice, 2 pcs of chicken leg/thigh. The Chicken was tender and delish, The Java rice was tasty, the soup was egg flour(?) soup.
The vibe of the place was a very Filipino cantina. I would recommend this place.“

“This place is amazing. I crave it every week. Get the spicy lamb skewers, peanut noodles, cucumber salad, and 100% at least one order of the sweet and sour pork. Dip in the peanut noodle sauce! Got the leeks for the first time this time, eat it with the lamb sooo good.
Imo is so kind, and the prices are very reasonable!“

“My new favorite Thai food spot! I always order yellow curry so that’s what my review is based on. I am vegetarian so chose it with tofu. I had additional requests and they came through. I asked to make it mild and leave onions out and add vegetables too. Got everything I asked for about $15 out the door ! Sauce was thick and tasty, rice included. Atmosphere wasn’t the best but I had my food to go anyway. Waited about 15 minutes. Worth every minute and penny. We found parking in the back.“

This is the freshest, cleanest fish I have had since Kazu on Ventura closed.
The chefs are incredibly talented, the freshest fish being used and the flavors are clean and well balanced. I will be back every week until I've tried everything on the menu. 🥰❤️🌸

“Was recommended to me by two people so decided to try it. It was busy for a mid-week evening. I quickly sat at the bar since most seating was full. I ordered a Spicy Tuna Handroll, Rainbow Roll, and the Spanish Mackerel. The price was definitely more than I usually pay but it was definitely fresh quality. The staff was nice and attentive. Would definitely stop by again and try some other items that caught my eye. Parking was not hard to find.“

“I first came to this place 6 years ago and remember it fondly. My options and time for food where limited at the time, and having this place felt so abundant and delicious. Honestly, it's still the same place. The food is pretty dang good, especially if you go for your favorites once you find them, and they're not trying to be gourmet or transcendent.. it's an AYCE buffet. You pay your chunk of money, around 28 bucks, and you eat as much as you want... Simple... I gravitate towards their sushi, chicken wings, fried shrimp, and surprisingly good barbecue ribs.. the pork buns have always been on par with a good quality home steamed version too. Some of the stuffed clams and creations often end up being favorites too, but that changes every visit. If you want buffet desserts following your savory meal, this is not the one, there's a few mid to bad cake squares and such. The quality and cleanliness is good, and Ive never felt off or uncomfortable even after eating too much.
The dining area and buffet is roomy and fairly crowded on a Saturday around 2:00p. Especially with lots of large families.
I think this place is worth your time and money if you are really hungry and craving some simple, good food from the cuisines they offer. I give it 5 stars because they're doing exactly what they're trying to do.. offer a big selection of decent foods and as much as you want of it.“
“Food was good. Pork estofado is the best.
But their system is kinda chaotic the labels for the food dont match the food it is on. Or sometimes the food doesn’t have label/name on it so you would have to guess or point the food out to the server which is inconvenient if there is a long line. Please put names on the individual food.“
