“Busy on the weekends and mornings so recommend coming here on a weekday. We came here during Wednesday for dinner and did not have to wait. They were out of the chicken rice but had everything else. You order at the front and then get a seat. They don’t do reservations so best to come with a small group of 2-3. Highlights on the menu for us we’re the French Toast and Pork Belly Rice. The French Toast was sweet with a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Overall, great place with good prices and would come back!“

“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!“

“Met two friends (we are 43-60) here for dinner tonight and we had a lovely time. We came early at 5:15, we had one of each of the skewers, the salmon curry and the sprouted cauliflower. We thoroughly enjoyed it all.
Certain songs felt a little loud but mostly the music was fine for chatting. Service was excellent. Look forward to returning!“

“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..“

“This was easily one of the best ramen experiences I've had in Southern California. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful without being overly salty, and the noodles had the perfect texture. The restaurant itself was spotless, modern, and had a welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The staff checked on our table frequently and made excellent recommendations. I especially appreciated how quickly the food arrived despite the restaurant being busy. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. I will definitely return and recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic ramen and excellent service“

“I picked up a pack of 18 wings for a potluck and they were huge hit with the group! Half lemon pepper and half garlic parm. The wings were juicy and the flavors were great. I also like how the order came with sauce and veggie sticks included. I'll definitely be ordering wings from here again.“

“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!“

“I recently ordered catering from Lokal Venice and it was such a great experience. The place itself is super cute, the interior is really well put together and just beautiful to look at.
This was my first time ordering catering from them, and it was a total success. Everything was delivered right on time, and the presentation was amazing. I ordered burritos and asked them to cut them in half, which made everything look extra neat and organized, perfect for a group setting.
I had quite a few dietary restrictions to accommodate since this was for a Teacher Appreciation Day at a school (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, egg allergies, dairy-free) and they handled everything so well. The communication was easy, they responded quickly to emails, and made the whole process stress-free.
On top of all that, they even let me take their insulated bags to make it easier to transport everything, they just asked me to return them later. I thought that was such a thoughtful and helpful touch.
I 1000% recommend them, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again for my next catering!“

“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“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“TigaWok is always solid! Food is really good, portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable. Way better than Panda Express. There’s usually a long line and it feels a bit understaffed (minus 1 star), but the food makes up for it. Place is pretty clean too. I also like watching the robot takeover in the kitchen. (Yes robots cook you food!) Only thing I’d suggest is using more eco-friendly containers and bags.“

“came randomly after a concert just because it was in the structure that i parked in and it was open late and damn i was not expecting the food to be so good. For higher end (in my opinion) sushi the price was extremely fair and the food was incredible plus the inside was super nice. On top of that lady that served us was super sweet and attentive def recommend as i’m super picky with sushi“

“We have always loved this place— the staff are wonderful and always recognize us and look excited to see us when we come in. They have an extensive menu to choose from, and I’ve tried items from every category and enjoyed them all. Amazing thai tea and mango sticky rice! The ambiance is great, and everything is very clean and well-maintained. There’s a parking lot in front that consistently has open spaces as well.“

“A great little spot. Excellent food, attentive staff, and an easy to like ambiance. Walk-in like Han Solo and you'll get a front row seat at the bar where the chefs hone their craft. For everyone else, reservations are probably best. It's also a great place to take a date as a lot of the dishes are meant to be shared. Try the Yuzu Ceviche and you won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing ramen! New favorite spot.
Stopped by Chibiscus for lunch, and it totally blew me away. I ordered the ramen, and it was a solid 10/10.
The broth was rich, flavorful, and had the perfect depth to it. Exactly what you look for in a great ramen.
The toppings were incredibly fresh. The egg was cooked to perfection with that nice, jammy yolk, the bean sprouts added a great crunch, and the meat was super tender.
The portion size is great—definitely leaves you full and satisfied.
The place is clean, the service is fast, and the vibe is very welcoming. If you’re looking for authentic, comforting ramen, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“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!!!“

“For all you vegans and vegetarians out there, the tofu banh mi is SPECTACULAR. Don’t sleep on O Bahn Mi. Great lunch at an old school price. Might be two lunches depending on your appetite! Limited seating but you can usually snag a spot. Thai coffee is sweet and has that caffeine kick.“

A Must go! I’ve been to so many Asian bowl places! This is my fave!
Got the rainbow don (included piping hot miso)

“This place is serious. Got the Pad see ew (they call it pad Z ew lol), tom kha with chicken, vegetable egg rolls, and mango sticky rice. Everything was excellent. Not good, excellent. Definitely if this is within 30 - 45 minutes of you, go out of your way to try it. Service great, very friendly and courteous. Prices are excellent too. You won’t be disappointed.“
“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. 💕🤟

“Lit Sushi & BBQ is easily one of my favorite sushi spots in Los Angeles.
The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, making it great for both casual meals and date nights. The fish tastes extremely fresh, and every roll we tried was well balanced and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs take pride in their work.
We ordered a variety of rolls along with baked green mussels, and everything came out quickly and full of flavor. The portions are generous, and the prices feel very fair for the quality you are getting. Service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the entire time.
If you are looking for a sushi place that consistently delivers great food, good service, and a fun vibe, Lit Sushi & BBQ is definitely worth checking out.“

“Delicious food, Always good quality. I have been going here weekly for over a year. 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.“

Definitely found my new favorite restaurant.“

“This is a nice little cozy spot for parties of all sizes. The atmosphere is chill with super cool seevice by Min. We ordered a couple of lunch specials that satisfied our cravings. Since my party is super picky it’s good to know they offer a little bit of everything. Their Seafood Udon was very flavorful and perfect for a chilly day or any day at that. The Bento Boxes were also winners with presentation and flavor. Since the dishes were so good we also decided to try out their Seafood Udon which was nice and spicy and just right for our tastebuds. Everything we had was satisfactory and we will definitely be back to try out more of the menu. Again, a big shoutout to Min for making our experience a memorable one. So if you’re in the area and looking for a nice variety then definitely check this place out if you can.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing. I ordered the pumpkin curry, flavor was great, default spice level was spot on for a pasty boy like me. Service was great. The location is a little odd but kinda adds to the charm. It always pretty quiet in there when I went so it's possible when there's more activity in the community center thing it could be a little less charming. I will definitely be coming back.“

“Love this place! Me and my boyfriend come here frequently and get the lamb kebabs, spicy noodle soup, stuffed mushrooms and fish cakes. The food tastes almost like a Korean/Mediterranean fusion. Their menu is huge and every time I try something new it tastes amazing. Their side dishes are often changing which keeps it interesting. The atmosphere is fun with lots of lights and tv’s often playing K-pop. We come late at night to see our favorite server who often gives us free gifts and is very welcoming. You won’t regret trying it out!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The service here was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They were accommodating to make dishes vegan and careful to make sure the details were correct. This eggplant and vegetables is delicious! Comes out piping hot, super fresh, and has lots of flavor without being too salty. I tried another place down the street and was disappointed so I came here after and wish I’d come here first! Great space, plenty of parking, and nice natural lighting. Would definitely recommend.“
