“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.”

“Recently came here for an early dinner and I have been here a few times in the past and it totally slipped my mind to write a review in the past; so here I am today. This place never disappoints, I love the food here. Everything will everything on my plate was awesome. I had the chicken soulavki plate, everything from the chicken, salad, fries, hummus and pita bread was delicious. Staff is nice and friendly, place is spacious, clean and inviting. Next time I will have to order the greek potatoes to go with my chicken plate. If you are in the mood for greek and you are in the neighborhood check it out, you won't be let down.”
“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!”

“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.”

“OMG! These churros are amazing! And priced so reasonably. My husband who loves the churros at Disneyland ($5.25 ea!) says these are just as good if not better. I agree. The service provided by Oscar is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Love this place!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Always enjoy going to Kyoto, but especially this location. Our entire family came to celebrate a birthday and it's great that this location has long tables to accommodate around 11 people. The restaurant is clean and well kept. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. It wasn't a busy night when we went , so our orders came out quite quickly. We ordered the Spider Rolls, Yellow tail sushi, calamari, Tonkatsu ramen and bell peppers that are on their appetizer list. Everything we ordered was tasty and fresh. Will definitely come back again.”
Outdoor Dining
“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.”

“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 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.”
“This is such a a great little gem. The artwork and overall vibe of this place is amazing!! Prices are reasonable and the service was great!! Very friendly people and knowledgeable about the food. The food is amazing! Everything has such great flavor! My favorite is chilaquilas and these were phenomenal. Will definitely come back.”

“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!”
“The food is delicious! But tonight they got my food order wrong. I didn't notice until I got home. Quite frustrating cuz I was already in my PJs relaxing & I had to drive back to the restaurant. I called the restaurant but an answering service answers for them. They said I have 2 options. Submit a claim through Yelp or drive back to restaurant. I didn't want to drive all the way back over there if they weren't preparing my order. It was a bit of a hassle But they gave me a whole new order and a soda when I got there and let me keep the old order. Check your before you leave the restaurant!”
“The atmosphere is great. Staff are amazing and very attentive. Everybody knows everyone. A home an away from home. If you're old school you'll know about the tv show Cheer. Great bartenders.”
“I love the molcajete at this place and their handmade tortillas. The only bad thing is that for takeout they charge you an extra charge for packing your molcajete with the rice and beans separately. It's absurd because that dish is not served all together and for takeout. It should be the same without any extra charge in the head, it is possible to deliver a molcajete to take away in a single container, everything mixed apart that they use a small plate where all the sauce is in the bag and all the guacamole mixed with everything, Mr. Manager, be careful, the customers deserve the same quality both in the restaurant and for takeaway, they charge us the same, their dishes must be served in the same way without abusing the customer”
“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.”

“I love the customer service at this location! My food is always fresh and hot ! The restaurant is always clean and welcoming. I go here frequently and my food is always on point ! Carmen has amazing customer service! The sweet tea and fries is my go to menu item here ❤️”
“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”

“This place is exactly what the description says, really fast and great food. The service was attentive, genuine and made sure my food came out speedy. A very cool story about the owner and a nice touch having that information in the restaurant. I will be back! Portion sizes are large for the plate too.”
“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!”
“This is truly a hidden gem. The biónicos here are amazing. We visit at-least once a week and we are always greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. We visit with my 3 year old daughter and they always acknowledge her and give her their undivided attention. The food is great and the ambiance is nice and cozy. I recommend everyone try this place.”
“Absolutely blown away by the delicious flavors and lightning-fast service at this Asian fast food gem! From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of fresh ingredients tantalized my senses. Each bite of their dishes was an explosion of authentic Asian flavors, perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring my order was prepared promptly. With reasonable prices and generous portions, this place is an absolute winner in my book. Can't wait to come back for more!”

“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!”
“Overall my experience there was pretty good, quick and easy. The food was amazing, one of the best burgers in LA, easily in my top 5. Unlike most burger chains in LA, they actually season the burger patty, they serve seasoned fries, overall a really tasty experience. Got a few of my friends hooked on it, definitely worth a try.”
“I love this place! The first time my wife brought me here along with some friends, I really enjoyed the sushi here. Every time I come I try a different sushi order so everything is really great here! Staff welcome you and greet you and are super fast and respectful. Greatly recommend this restaurant.Parking: Parking is always packed but I always seem to find parking fairly simple. Parking is located in the back of the restaurant, and the lot is full there a few additional spaces near the driveway that leads to the parking lot on the sides.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs will probably have a hard time here, there is no stairs however the parking here is a little bumpy and there’s no wheelchair parking up at front.”
“The food was good. The service was good when it was time to let's just say make sure that you double-check your receipt to make sure you are paying for what you ? ? got, not anything extra”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I visited this location today! And I was left feeling so touched and warm-hearted by the staff. Everyone was kind and attentive. The food was prepared quickly and they made sure everything was in the bag due to it being a takeout order. The place was clean and so organized. Not to be dramatic but it's one of the best habit locations I've visited thus far.”
“Love the food, service is awesome ? my boyfriend is a picky eater, he enjoys his food and on Mondays they have halve off mimosas so worth it. Prices are affordable plus they give good amount of food. Also open I believe a app and you also vet points by giving your number and one tune we got free appetizers or get a soda off depending on your points you have it's really worth doing too.Vegetarian options: Greek omelet is super good and it's v3ffie”
“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.”
“Besides milk tea, they also have tea/coffee by itself, and the standard add ons like honey boba. Has a drive-thru and offers some snacks like strawberry croissant. Parking lot is huge as they are located in a large mall. Jasmine Milk Tea at 75% was much too sweet for me, I'll definitely order 50% next time. Honey boba was delicious! At first it was a lil mushy, but once the drink sat in ice for a while, the Honey Boba firmed up and developed that amazingly bouncy texture that Taiwanese drinks are known for. Music is appropriately not too noticeable, great background music to work with. They have lots of outlets along the wall, 5-6 large tables, and one super long community table. I will totally be coming back again!”
“First time at this particular location and I gotta say, I was impressed with the cleanliness, food quality and overall experience. Loved the dinning room design and layout, made us feel at home. They even have a communal fireplace and sitting area. Service was fast, employees were kind & Food was as expected coming from Wendy's. Would recommend coming in for lunch, they have a nice little Biggie Bag Deal that offers a burger, fries, 4ct nuggets and a drink for $6!! They do however need better sauces ?Kid-friendliness: Live their kid friendly meals but need better drink options for kids like flavored water or sugar-free juice boxes”
“I usually don’t post fast food reviews (because why?) but I just HAD to applaud KFC management for crafting such well-mannered workers! Specifically a shout-out to the worker Marcos! My husband and I try to encourage our kids to have confidence and order for themselves, my child (8) was so nervous. We went at a busy time and you could tell the management was stressed. However, Marcos greeted her with a happy energy and enthusiasm that she felt so confident after ordering. He also told her that he liked her pink shoes and that his girlfriend loved pink too! (Which made her feel so cool)! Great Job KFC!”
“The service was great and food was serve quick and delicious Sebastian gave us great service thank you!”
“So far, everything I have tried has been a hit except the campechana. They had no problem taking it back and offered something else in return. From the breakfast burrito to the octopus, everything has been pleasant. To my coffee lovers, you must try the CAFÉ DE OLLA they offer and the desert they serve.Wheelchair accessibility: Side ramp”

“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.”
“Giving it only a 4 so far since I haven't tried the actual food.... And reading some reviews, I really hope the owners actually read them and have cleaned the kitchen/everything else better...... Anyway, I have been here 5 times, and the service and drinks are always really good!!! It's so exciting to self serve boba!”
“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 spaceKid-friendliness: Regarding breakfast and lunchWheelchair accessibility: If it is accessible”

“My fav restaurant in LA! I love their aguas and ceviche negro.. absolutely everything is delicious”
“Great spot for a quick drink but keep in mind it's a karaoke bar so it does it a little loud, it's right behind a liquor, you might miss it if you don't keep an eye out. It's only cash btw”

“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”
