“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.”

“Came here to celebrate a high school graduation and the steak was absolutely made to perfection! It is sizzling and hot when served and the quality of the filet mignon and the NY steak was a 10. The calamari appetizer is also. Great choice along with the Mac and cheese. Didn’t try the cocktails, this time around but I have in the past and they are made delicious. Highly recommend for a first date, celebration or a night out.”
“We ordered catering through Uncle Henry's and Tina and her family were amazing! Super responsive, on-time delivery, and delicious sandwiches. We will definitely be ordering from them next time we are in Downey!”

“Best pizza around love this place and so will you if you have not tried DPC your missing out so what are you waiting for get off your A$$ and go get you some.”
“This is a go-to regular spot for my family and I. The rolls are especially large and there are so many options. Take out is always very fast; usually a 15-20 minute wait to pick up. Dinning in has usually been a good experience but it is popular so wait times vary. Prices are high everywhere these days but I feel like you get a great value here.”
“Pita GR never ever fails to deliver. It’s annoying how amazing everything is because I find myself there more than 3 times a week. Food quality is just top tier and delicious every single time. Always fresh and the workers always pay attention to details when I order online. The staff is always friendly and portions are grand. I have never had spicy feta this good before in my life. I’ve tried other places but nothing comes close. Thank you guys for always providing great food, great service and thank you for being only 2 blocks away from me.”

“since walking into the store i was greeted with warming customer service from the employees, along with my cookies being really well made with fullfilling my expectations on this weeks cookies!
Parking: the parking lot can be full at time to time, be sure to always consider other parking lots around the plaza since crumble cookie is only a tab bit of walking distance from other stores!”
“As entreprenuers we travel the world and the unknown and get to have great experiences with people. Today we visited World Famous Grill in Downey and Hassan was the perfect gentleman. He helped us with a Kabob Combo Plate with hummus, rice salad and pita bread along with their famous Western Burger which was monstrous and delicious. Our daughter was also able to order chicken nuggets and fries as well. We appreciate these small businesses opposed to all the BIG corporations who usually say no to us asking for food. Thank you again World Famous Grill.”

“We were in the area looking for breakfast and found this place. It's like a Dennys but with real homemade fresh food! Everything was amazing, even the service. We were seated fast, but it got pretty busy after, and there was a line. So good!!Vegetarian options: Nice selection of veggies! Sub for whatever meat. They'll take care of youDietary restrictions: Very attentive service. They will make sure everything is safe!Kid-friendliness: All the classic kid offerings and fun place. Also pretty affordable ?”
“Grabbed a couple burgers to go. The burgers had a great char broiled flavor. I had the teriyaki burger. I was expecting it to be a traditional burger plus a grilled pineapple but instead it was a traditional burger with the choice of beef or chicken teriyaki added to it. It was very good. Fries were good, not too crisp but not quite mushy. Overall a great taste, good price, fast service. Worth all the good reviews.”
“They highly recommended this place to me. The food is good but not impressive. That's very well served, each maki comes with about 10-12 pieces. Yes I would return!”
“Wanted to have local dinner around my community and stopped by this restaurant.The food was well but the quality of service my family and I received from Bryant was exceptional. Way to go on having these types of employees!”

“I have only eaten there once. I couldn't really enjoy my food due to being interrupted by work phone calls. The burrito was good even though I ate it cold. I am going back again. The staff was very patient and nice. I can't wait to try this place again. Oh yeah, bathrooms were very clean.”
“Fantastic food options and high quality fish. A favorite of mine for the last 10 years. Can get busy for dinner as there is limited seating. Great attitudes from servers and chefs. You have to try the fresh spring roll and cilantro roll”
“I love Starfish Sushi it is my go-to sushi spot. They have good service have never waited too long for my food and they have never given me any problems and have been kind and polite. They have really good food and I always try something new I love their burrito roll and their sukiyaki bowl can't wait to try takoyaki there for the first time and I find the atmosphere pleasing it's not too loud and I can enjoy food and time with my family. Only bummer for me was when the menu changed and sukiyaki was taken off the bento box but it pushed me to try new things.”

“The atmosphere was astonishing I was mesmerized as I tried to catch ever beautifully decorated chandelier and pieces of art Mosaic, especially the ginormous faux melting candle. Just as you catch from the side of your eyes it a cart wheeling private bar tender inquiring on if you would like a margarita! We ordered a $75.00 plate of filet mignon, shrimp, and scallops; I was disappointed for that price they give one shrimp a d two scallops? Steak was the bomb dot com though.”
“I have to say for the time frame open until 4am YES, the toppings, the freshness and especially decent sauce. Being from the Jersey/York border line the time frame is amazing and even toppings and great seasonings I'm in love! Amazing place especially if you work overnight or just slept in. I am definitely ordering again. Genius!”

“I recently visited Leo's Tacos located in a food court mall and had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the burrito of asada that I ordered. The rice had a hint of spice seasoning, which added to the flavor without overpowering the dish. The asada was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. I also appreciated that they added sour cream to the burrito, which made it even more flavorful. The prices were quite reasonable compared to other food court restaurants, which was a plus. Overall, I highly recommend Leo's Tacos and would definitely eat there again.”
“Good honest American Chinese food. I ordered the mushroom chicken, sweet and pungent shrimp, wonton soup, and fried cream cheese wontons. I enjoyed the dense fried batter used on the sweet and pungent shrimp. The sauce was light and not overly sweet. I enjoyed the dark mushrooms in the mushroom chicken. The sauce did not over power the vegetables, nor was it over salty. The wonton soup was incredible. The filling in the wontons provides additional flavor with a hint of caraway or anise. The broth was lite and not briny. Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Downey.”
“We love the spicy garlic edamame, lemon flush roll, aloha roll, and rainbow roll. The kids love the salmon plate. They get to share because it comes with 2 pieces.”
“The service was great and food was serve quick and delicious Sebastian gave us great service thank you!”

“NO BREAKFASTShowed up for breakfast sandwiches & the menu changed, they did not have breakfast options. This was the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5.I ordered the lavender oat latte without sweet foam & the farmers market sandwich. The latte was the perfect sweetness & the sandwich had super fresh ingredients & warm focaccia.It was almost $50 for 2 lattes & 2 sandwiches but the ambiance was great. Very clean with lots of natural light & roomy tables. A great place to get some work done.”
“As a first-time orderer at Fish & Chips, I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. I indulged in their fish, shrimp, chips, and fried zucchini, and every bite was a delightful surprise. The fish was so delectable that it shattered the notion of saving it solely for Lent Fridays—I happily devoured it on a Saturday, just to ensure its quality. And my goodness, was it worth it! While the current star rating stands at an impressive 4.6, I wholeheartedly believe it deserves a solid 5-star rating. Highly recommended for anyone craving a top-notch seafood feast!”
“Super deli place for those sinful cravings but they are worth it ?. Delicious tejuino, a very Mexican flavor. Bionics are the basic ones, without a doubt very rich. The very tasty skis as well as its fresh waters (Aguas locas) and snows. Everything was undoubtedly very tasty and the service was excellent!!”
“Burger was good the cheese was the pefect melt, you could taste the freshness and quality of the meat. The fries/onion rings were crunchy. Onion rings a little oily but that's to be expected. They didn't fall apart. the crust was thick. The sauce tasted like a mix of bbq and ketchup to me. Restaurant was reasonably clean, came during a rush hour, trash was over flowing a bit.”

“Hot dayum WINGS!!! The most delicious spicy wings I've tried in awhile! I stumbled into this wings joint when I saw how busy it was inside so I decided to check it out. The buffalo wings were super tasty and SPICY!! The restaurant has a nice, chill vibe to meet up with friends. would def visit again.”
“Delicious! I like to get the Pollo Saltado but my husband gets the Lomo Saltado and it’s fantastic! Love the spicy green sauce too. The white rice was slightly under cooked. But all the food came out really fast.”
“the flavor of their food is satisfying to your tastebuds! deliciousness on everything! Not to mention the friendliest customer service”
“The food was very good well made. The drinks as well are very good. very creative with the la cocoa coffee. The service was kind and informative. The only thing is that the music was to loud for the setting. I noticed that the other customers had to raise the town while talking as did I with my sig ificant. Other but other than that small thing it was a awesome experience.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“First time eating at this chain, i did a curbside pickup order of the double burger and onion rings and a belt for lunch for my night shift work.the burger wasn’t bad at all, the onion rings were heavily salted and the batter was just too crispy.the boy woulda been bomb but for me was lacking enough mayo, making it too dry.overall i would eat here again just would go with fries over the rings”
“The restaurant employees are patient and kind. This was my first time coming here and the gentleman was very helpful. The paramount area was clean. I ordered chicken and carne asada fries and it was delicious. I will be coming back to order something else!
Parking: Alberto’s have free parking in their lot.”
“This place used to be one of those places that at first glance used to be like any other gimmicky potato selling place. It wasn't. The sweet potato fries with whatever you decided to sprinkle on them were delicious. The tots, wings and tenders were pretty good too.Today I visited one for the first time in a while. To my surprise and shock, they no longer have sweet potato as an option which I felt was the star of this whole food experience.I hope this is temporary and something that's up with this particular location. Had they had the sweet potato as an option for fries this place would definitely be a 5 star for me.”
“I went there for Cinco de mayo.Ans not only did i Ioove there food which was delicious but theyre service the waitress was amazing n not only that the live music topped the perfect evening off.I will definitely be coming back”

“Been coming here for several years. Wonderful friendly staff. The owners are awesome. Family owned business.,since 1959. The pizzas are my fave, but tried other dishes too.. Always had delicious meals. Never disappointed. My opinion, Downey’s Best Family Owned Pizza House. Yum!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You gotta try it!”
“I’m probably the only person who comes here specifically for the food not the drinks (I don’t get the boba hype) and every time it’s delicious. I recommend popcorn chicken or pork chop with fried rice, it’s a bit pricy but the portions are huge and it’s justified by the taste. Oh yeah and they have drinks too I guess /j”
“This place is a hole in the wall with a small bar and a few booths. I missed it as I was trying to navigate with Google. It doesn't have a super clear sign but it's worth going. My dad and I came here after seeing that our normal place was packed. So worth it! The salsa was amazing. They give you homemade tortilla chips with that salsa and it's bomb! We ordered the molecaje and queso fundido. Also amazing. They had the dodger game on and it was a bit noisy but overall a fun time with great food. I can't wait to go back!”
“When we arrived at the place they served us immediately, we didn't expect anything, they treated us very well and the food was very good, I recommend it ???
Parking: Has plenty of parking space
Kid-friendliness: Regarding breakfast and lunch
Wheelchair accessibility: If it is accessible”
“Good tasted great. Fans are on and make food cold right away, thats their only downfall. We had 6 dishes, 5 adults and 2 little ones. Good prices . Bill came out to about $120. Server was very attentive, he was kind and funny. I would totally recommend this restaurant.”
“kept seeing this on instagram & i love coffee so i decided to go try . but before i went i was reading the reviews & it was 50/50 on the food saying it was too good & the customer service wasn't good . in my opinion i thought the empanadas were good! i got tinga & rajas on queso i must admit they were greasy but good! i got the dulce de leche latte iced & it was good too . my bf got the strawberry hibiscus & OMG def recommend . however though the customer service was not it . first time going & i told her at register it was our first time & she was like oh welcome so monotone & it was an awkward silence i was at least expecting some suggestions on what was popular but nothing . gotta work on customer service w/ the attitude”

“The food was excellent! The portions were large and the drinks were amazing but our bartender/order taker/server/host/and everything else was a wonderful man named Raul! I believe his last name was Trepes? I hope that’s close? Anyway, this man practically ran the place because of a staff shortage! He provided everything we needed quickly, was extremely polite and he has a great sense of humor! I hope corporate realizes what a great job this man is doing and pays him well!!!”
“I was impressed how one girl delivered exceptional service on such a busy Sunday. Very swiftly yet calm and helpful to indecisive customers. I had the dulce de leche first and it was amazing and the freddo expresso transported me back to Greece. Not everone gets it on point. I had to go back for more after my lunch and I got a little creative and created my own and was glad to see that someone else was there to assist the young girl out.”

“We stopped in for brunch and we were very pleased. When we got there three buffet didn't have variety. Most of the trays were empty but that's ok, what we had was delicious.I ordered the veggie omelette. Everything had so much flavor. My choice of drink was the agua fresca watermelon flavor. Refreshing!!!We sat outside and the vibe was fun. The music was really good. Our waiter was fun but it took him awhile to get back to us. My suggestion.... When you order your drinks, order your food at the same time. We placed our drink order and still needed time to look over the menu for the entree. He brought it drinks and was gone for quite she time. We weren't in a rush and the ambience was nice so...I Guess not a huge deal. ?We will be back, the food was very good.”
“OMG - the food are amazing! It is NOT your typical taco restaurant. This is for the adventurous ones! I love it. The Tablita option is WOW!!! Head, cheeks, blood, etc...for the adventurous people! I love the head! I ordered the pork belly taco and it was literally a slap of pork belly for my one taco! Definitely recommend for anyone who loves food and unique food. The parking lot is big, but not enough to accommodate during lunch hours, so watch out for that.
Parking: can be very crowded during lunch hours and everyone is vying for space”
“I’ve been to this location several times only on the weekdays in the evenings. I’ve gotten mixed experiences at this location. Service was either good or horrible. It really just depends on how busy they are and who your server is. The food is always great and it’s awesome to go during happy hour which is from 3 to 7.”
“Very good service and the food was delicious”
