“Yumm rica comida buen servicio el personal muy agradable muy limpio el restaurante recomendado🥰👌”
“I have been coming to this establishment for a couple years now. It’s one of our faves and we find ourselves here quite a bit. It’s family owned and the meat is halal/zabiha. It’s located in Downey and the space inside has a decent amount of seating. They cater as well and I am pleased to say their catering food is as good as eating it inside the restaurant.
My fave items are :
⭐ Chapli beef kabob- it comes with rice or bread
⭐ Mantu (meat filled dumplings) with lentils on top
⭐ Potato Bolani- potato filled paratha (bread)
⭐ Qabuli Pulao- rice with lamb shank
⭐ borani banjan- egg plant dip
Def check it out if you’re in the area!”
“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.”

“Really enjoyed this spot. The sushi rolls were fresh, flavorful, and plated really nicely. The crispy toppings, sauces, and presentation made the rolls stand out, and the edamame was a solid appetizer. The restaurant had a cozy vibe and the meal felt worth it overall. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend for sushi. My partner and i really enjoyed.”
“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.”

“My first time there wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Upon going in they had a nice little crowd, the staff was nice and helpful. So my box of 4 cookies $19 was brownie batter, not bad, could use some nuts walnuts, or pecans, . My favorite cookie chocolate chip also could use some nuts walnuts or pecans and cooked a little longer. Next was funnel cake. Kind of like that one crunchy, not sure if it really tasted like funnel cake, but I liked it. Then cake batter thins not too bad either.”

“I've been going to Pieloon for a few years now and it is THE BEST restaurant in Downey! The food is always fabulous, the portions are large, the service is perfect! I've had appetizers, salads, pastas, steaks, burgers, sandwiches (I'm addicted to the BLT) and many of their specials. My family and I go now 2x a week and have trouble deciding what to get because it's all so good! And the pies...their pumpkin pie is the best I've ever had and the blueberry cheesecake is fabulous...but just wait until fresh peach pie season...I'll gain weight just thinking about it...the fresh peach is the best pie I've ever, EVER had! I love this place and the people who work there!! They're like family now!”
“Love the food 🥘 very friendly environment and comfortable to have breakfast see you soon.”

“first time a
here. it was delicious chicken sandwich, chicken strips and fries were good . i didn't try a hamburger but my son got a double cheeseburger and ask for another one because he said they were so good. prices were good good and service was amazing from the workers. I'll be back.”
“I’ve been coming to this authentic Mexican mom-and-pop restaurant for over 10 years, and it has never disappointed me. The food is consistently amazing rich in flavor, homemade, and prepared with genuine care and tradition. Despite what may appear online, the restaurant is NOT permanently closed, they are OPEN and actively serving customers. Please don’t let that misinformation stop you from visiting. Every dish I’ve tried has been excellent, but the tamales are truly unforgettable, hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. This place is a true hidden gem that deserves recognition and continued support.”
“Leaving original review for posterity.
Went today & showed the reply to the employee helping me, no questions asked they acknowledge the mistake & replaced the mistaken bowl from last time
Tl;dr: ice cream taste 5/5 service 5/5
While the ice cream was delicious we had a major service issue during our visit. We asked for 2 small cones different flavors but were given 2 cones with the 2 flavors mixed in the each cone. When we were given the first cone with tried to clarify that the flavors were supposed to be separate but the second cone came out the same as the first. Our next issue was that we asked for a large bowl but were given a small cone for the 3rd ice cream; we weren't given a receipt to see if we were charged for a large bowl or a small cone. Last issue was we ordered ice cream sandwiches to take home & instead of being told we could select what flavor we wanted we were given a random assortment of flavors. As a side note the ice cream sandwiches are smaller than you would think.”
“Love neighborhood bars, and this one was no exception. I did not rate the food because we didn’t eat and I’m not sure if they have food or not. The drinks were great, the bar is lively and there was a DJ. Super fun vibes and great crowd. Reminds me of the pre Covid days. Everyone was friendly and talkative, buying drinks for each other with no drama. I went here on a whim with my friend after the Beyond the Grave pop up bar. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but places like this are my favorite. I will definitely be back! The bartender made a perfect Midori sour, which is actually one of those cocktails that seems easy to make, but can be easily unbalanced. Definitely some pool sharks which made for a good viewing”
“We were here a couple of weeks ago and had Jesus as a server..
I didn't think anyone could compare to him!
Well lo and behold... We're back again!
This time we had the pleasure of having ZULI as our server...
I just have to say, Jesus, you have competition!!
Zuli was excellent as well...
Thank you for the great service.”

“We came last minute on Father’s Day and let me tell you it was PACKED as you’d assume. We were taken care of by Kristen and she did an amazing job of making sure our food came out on time, our food was correct & our table had everything we needed. 10/10 will come back just to sit in her area. I know how hectic today could have been, yet she made our entire experience so pleasant. Thank you Kristen for making sure we were good. Keep up the great work!”
“Food was great service throwing the customer drinks on table not fan making u feel like ur not welcome by the waiter the (guy )not fan but I don have to say when the owner the older guy it’s there he always make u feel welcome it’s 3 visit but today service has lot to say and he still tip him self 25 for his horrible service it’s time to look for another Thai food place”
“My husband and I went there tonight, for Valentine's Day. We had the Steak/Salmon special. This ribeye was the BEST steak I've had in my life. So tender and so tasty!!! The salmon was wonderful, so delicious! I totally recommend their food. Yes, their prices are high, but you're getting the best food possible. And, really, on a special occasion, it's worth it to enjoy delicious food and great service!! Thank you, Verdugos, for a great Valentine's dinner!! We pray you are the most successful restaurant in Downey!”
“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.”
“My wife and I realized that we had not thought to stop here in quite a while and so we stopped for lunch today and we were immediately reminded why we like the food here so much. I like the chicken kabob wrap and my wife typically gets the chicken bowl. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is consistently good. We will definitely have to keep the Hummus Factory on our regular list of places to visit for lunch and dinner. A photo of the chicken bowl shows just how appetizing it looks.”
“Jose was an excellent server! He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. He checked in regularly without being intrusive and provided outstanding customer service. Thanks to Jose, we had a great experience at Famous Dave's.”
“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!”
“Today we had the honor and privilege of enjoying catered food from Eva’s Tacos, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish!
The service was outstanding—everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can truly feel the care they put into their customers.
Now let’s talk about the food… absolutely delicious! The burritos were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. One thing you must try is their guacamole sauce with chips—it was fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal!
While the atmosphere is currently affected by nearby construction, it doesn’t take away from the quality of the food and service. Even with that, they still deserve top recognition.
I would gladly give Eva’s Tacos 5 stars any day of the week—a solid 10/10 experience overall. Highly recommend!”
“Sushi & Teriyaki Plus is a great place to dine, have delivery or take away. It is an adorable. It is not large. Parking is easy and free.
There really is nothing you will not like there. Personally, we consider the shrimp tempura to be the best. But they have a great menu and you will find something you want. We also love their seaweed salad and their fried rice. It is all just great.
Their tuna sushi and their California roll are perfect.
The service is ever so friendly and they are fast. You order at the counter and they will call you when it is ready.
The place is just cute, not too big and not too small. The prices are fair. If you are in Downey this is a must stop. Have the best time. You will love it.”

“Hi everyone! I want to give a shout out to Cynthia the manager for helping me and my mom with our order. We passed through drive through tonight after our church service and one of the employees got confused with our check out. Cynthia came over to assist the situation calmly and with kindness. Super sweet person!!”
“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. It does not look like much at first, I was skeptical, but boy was I surprised and impressed by this small business owner and her crew. The food was absolutely amazing, service was solid. I love being blown away by small business owners like her who take pride in every detail. Food was delicious.”
“Stopped by Starbucks and had a great experience. The green tea was delicious—fresh, smooth, and made just right. Customer service was fast and efficient, and my order was ready quickly even though it was busy. Overall, a solid stop when you need a quick and refreshing pick-me-up.”
“Been to this McDonald's plenty of times and have to say restaurant for the most part is clean and well maintained. The staff has been friendly. Had to give it a 4 due to the fact that the drive-thru line at times goes out into the street (on Paramount) makes it hard to pull into the parking lot.”
“The quality of food being the same is what you can count on, and the location is in a good area. The day I went the last in the drive thru seemed kinda confused what was going and had me repeat my order 3 times.😅 She took a while as well coming to the speaker despite it being slow but she was very kind.”
“I’ve been coming to this McDonald’s for about a little over 3 years, maybe give or take once a month. I’ve been to many McDonald around the county of Los Angeles and I can say the service here is second to none. I never had not one single issue with the way my order was taken or prepared. Today I decided to write a review because I was having such a terrible day and the kindness from Dillon the drive thru employee who took my order made me feel like my night was now just starting to turn around. I always go late at night and you would assume the employees are tired and don’t really care . But Dillon took his time with my order , I never felt rushed , I asked to make everything fresh and I asked questions about the World Cup, cups that they were giving away when you ordered a meal and not once did his tone change . He answered all my questions was able to grant all the requests I made in my order. The gentleman who gave me order was also very kind . The late night crew at this McDonalds can’t be compared to any other . Keep up the great work !!!! This isn’t the closest McDonald’s from my house but I chose to always go here because of the service !”
“had fun here the other night with the Downey Supper Club.
the service was good and timely even though there were an additional 35 customers from the Downey Supper Club that night.
Happy Hour is a good deal there and the wings were tasty. the garlic parmesan dry wings were crispy and the regular buffalo wings had a bit of a kick. i would go again and so should you.”

“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.”
“Yeah, this place was great. Easy to find lots of parking. They had a big venue with lots of options. Everything was a great value. Nice and clean and friendly. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The wait time was not long at all. The churros were very tasty. I enjoyed the ice cream although I wish it was soft serve. Definitely would go back.”

“I was extremely shocked with the quality of everything we ordered. This place does not appear promising at all but as soon as you take a bite, all of the doubt goes away. I will definitely be coming back.
I had chicken and rice
Beef and rice
Fried zucchini
Chili cheese fries (well done)
All items were amazing. I typically go into more detail but im out of time. I may revise this with detail but you can rest assured youre going to get a really, actually delicious meal here.”
“Anarchy Library has a cool rock vibe. The cover is only $5 and drinks are cheap. The music is good. But it is very crowded with no space to dance. The men's bathroom needs more urinals and dividers. It is not enough for the crowd. Good prices but the space and bathroom need work.”
“Worst Alfredo Sauce ever! Extremely disappointed. I'm not sure what happened to them, but I'm guessing they ran out. And someone tried to put some together quickly with milk and water. Because that's exactly what it tasted like. And so expensive too. Huge let down....”
“I came to this Burger King frequently and I got to say the service is super great I have been taking care of by the first assistant manager Alexza and she goes above and beyond to make sure I get taken care of her great customer service really goes a long way I highly recommend for anyone to come to this location and experience her customer service 👍”
“We were just passing through the area looking for places to eat. Found this spot and decided to give it a try. We'd definitely come back! This place is has great flavor, atmosphere was great, service was great, if you're in the mood for good Mexican food, stop by.”

“I had such a great first experience at Fire Wings in Downey! Katia and Leo truly made our visit memorable.
Katia was incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Since it was our first time, she walked over, made great suggestions, and made sure we felt comfortable ordering. Her customer service was genuine and attentive without being overwhelming — you can tell she truly cares about her guests.
Leo, the cook, even checked on our food himself, which we really appreciated. The food came out HOT — and honestly, that’s a good problem to have! It was fresh, flavorful, and excellent quality. Everything tasted amazing.
Because of Katia and Leo, I’ll probably return just for them. Their service really stood out. I definitely encourage others to give this place a try — I enjoyed it, and I hope you will too!”

“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 always enjoy the vibe here! Ceviche is my go to, I tried the Mexican Candy Shot and let me tell you AMAZING!!! We also got the 12 for 12 wings, but they were a little too oily for my taste I had to pat them with a paper towel. I love the service Diana provided us ❤️ we travel from Lancaster CA. So the 2 hr is worth it 😁”

“Pleasantly surprised. I was a little bummed because they're were out of everything I wanted, but that's what happens when you show up 40min before closing I guess 😅. Ultimately, the expectation was met, the bowl was still fantastic, nothing tasted old, the miso was good. I'll be back.
Oh and the customer service was great, you can tell she had a long day but she still provided great service being the only one there.”
“This place is so great I love their crapes Breakfast!!! Their service is always on point.👍💜🤗💜🤗🥰🥰”
