“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.”

Great selection of different pizza toppingsVegetarian options: They have their selectionParking: Plenty of parking like 20 to 30 parking spacesWheelchair accessibility: Parking is at floor level and like 6 to 8 handicap parking spots in front of the building entrance”

“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!”
“I came here on a Thursday so it wasn't too crowded. Stopped by before heading to the AngelCity Market. I tried the Yuzu Jasmine Lemonade, Cheese & Spicy Peppers Potato Ball and the Chicken Torta. All very delicious!Parking: The parking structure is behind Portos and it's good for 2hr parking as long as you're a customer.”
“Best brunch in Downey. You can not beat the quality of food here. Everything is always fresh and the service is amazing. We frequently eat brunch here on the weekends. It's a breath of fresh air to have food that isn't frozen and is prepared all in house.Kid-friendliness: Car seat slings are available. As well as plenty of booths that can sit families comfortably.”
“I ordered the chicken fried steak and it tastes was savory,fresh and crispy. The gravy was smooth, creamy and not so salty. The service is very responsive and respectful however this place does get packed so expect a wait time. Ambiance feels like a hole in the wall type dinner as the location is in between many other shops in a shopping area. Well worth the wait.”
“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.”

“Drove down from van nuys to try this place out with my two younger siblings, and I quote from two 16 year olds.. the most worth it thing ever haha the portions are great Liza made us feel right at home and when u say we were absolutely satisfied with everything you gotta try the asada hot Cheeto fries they are to die for and the lebamex sauce really brings everything together 10/10 you guys would make a killing in the valley Ali!!!”

“Without a doubt I loved it, the rice, the beans, the birria taco with cheese, uff delicious and the lady who served was very friendly, the only bad thing is that I live far away, and I will not be able to enjoy such good food again.”

“We live a block away passed by many times telling ourselves we should try that place, omg! It’s totally awesome! Starting from Shae the sweet waitress she was so kind and lovely and she spoiled us from the moment we entered the restaurant. Then the cook who’s the owner, they kept sending us samples from their home made savory food. Shae, we loved your attention we are coming back for sure many times! Don’t judge the place by it’s looks it’s a 40 year old place! I could give more stars if I could. Wanna post photos but I DK why Google won’t let me though.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Today we were at the Acapulco restaurant in Downey. Mr. Juan Herrera was the best. Talk to me. He treated us very well all the time, he was attentive if we needed anything.”
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.”
“I always get the double double protein style extra cheese, extra lettuce, grilled onion, add pickles, and chopped chilis ?. You can never go wrong with In N Out.”
“We had the best time last night at dirt dogs ... we went for some drinks and dinner ... Kevin was an awesome help to us .. they made us Paloma's which were amazing .. our food was amazing and Kevin was kind enough to ask the manager Yanet to help us with a recipe for a delicious sauce.. the restaurant was clean and well run .. please go here and check it out !! Plus ask for Kevin !!! He rocks ..”

“The asada mulitas are soo delicious ! I'm hooked.. special shout-out to the manger who assisted me on the phone tonight, i wish i asked for her name.. she was soo helpful and kind! I love good customer service”
“I love this chicken, it is delicious, fresh and made to order, super crispy, the service is very good, the guys are very friendly, the only thing I would change is if they had ranch ?”
“These new smashed hamburgers are hittin these days. I got the animal style. Fire. Fries good. Premium sodas good. No indoor seating. Eat hereParking: Things get tight fast next to many businesses with not enough parking”
“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!”
“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.”
“My favorite ice cream now. You can taste the freshness. Variety of flavors and vegan option tooVegetarian options: They have vegan options, sorbets. Not sure how many flavors, but loved the mango”
“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.”
“Pizza reminds me of an old childhood pizza spot in East LA, lots of cheese sauce on point crust?? and there garlic cheese bread don't get me started lol. A large pepperoni and cheese pizza from here and TMNT movie trust me you won't regret it”
Online Reservation Available
“I lived here in this city for 17 years and came across Verdugos. The whole experience was amazing from the time we came in to meeting Mr.. Verdugos himself came to our table and spoke with us making sure we were ok. The Steak is to die for tender juicy. The chicken salad was amazing. The bread and sauce they serve you was so tasty. The cheesecake OMG. I could go on how good everything was. I will be back. Highly recommended for any event you won't be disappointed. Everything is alcart... Its worth every penny.”

“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!”
“This Poke2 Grill is super bomb. The ingredients are fresh and the staff is so kind and helpful. This was my second time here. I got a large with salmon, tuna, octopus, and crab. The seaweed salad is my favorite! They have a lot of toppings to choose from too. I will be back again! :]”

“Norms was delicious, food came quick, big servings. Also had catering pans made on short notice and they did great. Candido the manager was awesome in helping me out.”
“Not sure about atmosphere as i went through drive-thru. If you order the ultimate cheeseburgers make sure you tell them to go easy on the ketchup as i hate the fact that it seems they go a bit overboard on it. You cant enjoy the burger when theres ketchup getting on your face and litterally pouring out of the burger after every bite.”
“Like the service have no complaints buttt the play are have took my son twice and honestly if your kid can't stand a toddler being loud or trying to play with them take them to the park...most of the kids are way too big to be there and have ugly attitude's...”

“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.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Gelato Amore Mio offers exceptional service and desserts at great prices. Their homemade ice cream and gelato are must-tries. The crêpe with strawberries, mango, whipped cream, Nutella, Lechera, and coconut gelato was my favorite. Highly recommended for a top-notch dessert experience!”
“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.”

“First of all, I have to give a shout out to Fernando M., a most wonderful, attentive, sweet young man who was tending our table. This young man was SUPER attentive, and offered exceptional service. Our drink glasses were NEVER empty, he checked on us throughout our stay and just exhibited warmth and sweetness during our visit. Thank you FERNANDO M. YOU ROCKED!We visited on a Wednesday, at noon, because we wanted to avoid crowds, abs that worked perfectly. The place wasn't overcrowded, it was clean, the food was fresh and not picked through. The quality of food was top notch, I specially enjoyed the salad bar, huge variety. At roughly $20, you can't go wrong. Bring your eating pants because you'll definitely want the space since you'll want to eat everything. Keep it up Golden Corral, we shall return!Vegetarian options: Salad bar and many vegetables throughoutDietary restrictions: It's a buffet! There's something for everyoneParking: Huge lot, free parkingKid-friendliness: Los of kid friendly food, family oriented buffetWheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessible entrance and parking.”
“I am in town visiting family, I grew up just a few blocks from here, and we ate from here lots. The submarine sandwich is the best. In taking 4 sandwichs home with me, they are that good!!! If you get the chance, stop by and have a meal. This family will feed you amazing food and make you feel like your dining with family.”
“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.

“Been coming sense i was 15 years..im 20 and more years to come. Food and service is always good, the ambiance of this resturaunt is outstanding. I always get the number 17, Taco and a tamale with rice Nd beans. Can never go wrong, even tho prices have gone up..food has remained the same.”

“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.”
“You get a lot of the price.. the sushi is so incredible. The kindest owners too I usually call in and come pick up in 10-15 min and it’s ready. They also gave me free gyoza because I ordered so much! Thank you!”
“First time trying this place and new to acai bowls. Love it!!! Filling and so yummy! Their acai base is thick. I don't think they added bunch of stuff on their acai like other places. The fruit toppings were fresh. Almost no wait time. It was convenient. Easy parking.”

“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”
“Came here on a Friday evening with my bestfriend. (We needed a drink) We walked up and were immediately greeted. It wasn't a busy night so we were offered Bar seating, indoor, or patio. We chose patio as long as we can get a heater. Our waiter PePe was very nice and explained items on the menu very well. (Bestie and I always refer back to yelp for pictures and reviews anyway) The restaurant was nice, artistic expression everywhere. Very Boho. I ordered the 2x1 Classic Margaritas on the happy hour menu. I usually change the tequila, but i wanted to try the drinks the way they make it since this was my first time, so house tequila it was. The drinks were soooo good! Wasn't the strongest (which is fine) but the mix was literally perfect. My Bestie got the TamarindSpell. Im not a big Tamarind nor Chili with my drink type of girl, but her drink was really really good. Very surprising. Lol i think it got a little overwhelming at the end but she really liked it for the most part. The chips and salsa came out around the same time, which the salsa was pretty flavorless to us. It tasted like flavorless blended stewed tomatoes. My bestfriend asked if they had a green salsa to go with her tacos, which tasted wayyy better with the chips. I ordered the GoberNader (3 shrimp tacos) also ordered the Langostinos. Both were extremely good. The Langostinos comes with the full head attached but cut in half. Flavor is similar to a crab boil. The cucumber salad is just cut cucumber, a couple of pickled onion, and hot sauce dabbed on top(not exactly a salad, but i like cucumber so i wasn't complaining). My tacos were really good, i didnt really need any salsa, but i die for guac on my tacos, so we eventually ordered guacamole. Which the guacamole wasn't bad, i thought it needed a little salt & maybe pepper. Bestie ordered the Kesabirria, she liked them but she definitely asked for the green salsa on the side. Overall, really good place. Will probably come back with the rest of our girlys. Give the drinks another run!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This BK is the best around the 562 hands down come check it out and find out for yourself, the food is really good and the people who work there are always very helpful.”
“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.”
“They Welcome you with honesty. My family and I will always have a wonderful time dine in or take outKid-friendliness: The People. from chick fil. A. They always smile to my kids and help them with their refills or questions.”
“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”
“I went through this drive through 45min before closing just on a whim when I was driving past and I'm very glad I did. The staff was VERY friendly I ordered a medium roast and it came out absolutely perfect! I've been having trouble with service and my drinks being wrong at starbucks, so it was really refreshing to have such a wonderful experience, even if I was just going through the drive through! I only wish I'd caught the name of the young lady at the window. Her customer service was excellent!”
“If you like your breakfast burritos with beans this the place to go . I had hash browns, beans which are refried also eggs,cheese,bacon an sausage without the green sauce. The burrito was gigantic. Highly recommend I’ll be back tomorrow..”
“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.”
“Food was great. Service was great. Having 200+ PowderPuff players and their friends all packed into standing room only, when the dining room only holds 84 not so much. Made it near impossible to get to the counter to order food. And took another 10 mins to try to just get out of the place with food. Bodies everywhere.I'm all for fun, but more seating outside, or go outside if you're just hanging out.”
“Warm welcoming , great customer service . Really love the team working today at 6:00pm. My daughter and I felt comfortable enough to ask about sandwiches we didn’t know about . Thanks guys!!”
“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!”
“Drive thru ordered in dark night. It was an unhappy atmosphere.I had to ordered twice since 1st order didn't include my sandwich. I ordered two sandwiches in the 1st order but it seemed missing.”
“This place is one our newest hole in the wall places. Great burgers, fries and shakes. They even had a pretty good breakfast burrito. They didn't get a 5 star from us on food because their beef dip is pretty horrible and my wife said their chicken sandwich was pretty bad as well. But everything else we have had has been pretty on point. Will definitely continue to visit.”
“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 recommend the tostada with shrimp and octopus.We went with family and everyone was pleased with their taste and serving size! Attentive service plus the restaurant is cleaned and spacious.”
“Sizzling Thai is our favorite Thai food. My husband and I have been eating here for over 20 years. When we 1st started coming here we were young and would share noodles. Now we share the same flavor and tastes with our kids. ?”
“This place is amazing it’s decorated so nice & pink. I would recommend this place for a bridal shower, birthday celebration or just a girls night out.The place is small but it’s cute. Even the restroom is decorated cute. The food is amazing. Come hungry or be prepared to take left overs the plates are huge. The prices are reasonable. The coffee is delicious the presentation of everything is amazing. So many cute picture taking spots.I will take one star off because the tables are super small, for such huge plates the plates don’t even fit on the tables (look at the pic) I had to be holding one place while I ate other wise it would of fallen off the table, also their was only one waitress attending this huge crowd I get it almost everyone is short staff, but I’m paying for a service. I had to flag her a couple of times to get more coffee.I do recommend this cute place after all it’s reasonably price & the food is delicious just ask for a big table.”

“Love the food. The seafood lemongrass soup was delicious. The chao mein , I prefered with the thing nooddles but they used spaguetti that I dont like but it was good. With good flavor”
“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”
“Great spot for boba. We tried the milk tea and matcha both tasted great. I didn't like the squid balls a bit sweet. The fried rice was okay would not order that dish again. Garlic chicken needed more flavor. Friendly atmosphere.”

“This place is a good alternative to fast food places where most thing are fried. Service is friendly and can slow down during peak hours. Even then the wait is reasonable. It's in a little shopping strip with parking there or on the street, and is pretty easy to get to.”
“The food is always more that enough and it fantastic Chinese. We've been going there for more than 20 years. Not one complaint my favorite thing there that you won't see on the menu is called sweet pungent shrimp.”
“This place is delicious!!! Live up I’m apple valley and we come here all the time before we drive up to the high desertMy unborn(pregnant gf) loved the food!!!!Definitely a must…Wish they had something this good up in the High Desert!!”
“Food was delish! We had the machaca burrito, birria burrito, birria sandwich (bolillo), a birria empanada, and two drinks - strawberry hibiscus and strawberry horchata.As far as the drinks, my fave was the strawberry hibiscus - not too sweet, not too bitter, just perfect. The strawberry horchata was too sweet and too cinnamony for me. My husband loved it tho. My teen loved the empanada - those are her fave. The burritos are very well made, not skimpy at all. My teen couldn't finish her birria sandwich (bolillo).We will be back!”
“Crimson Coward's Spicy Chicken Tenders and Sandwich are a win for anyone looking for a flavorful and fiery chicken experience. With customizable heat levels, high-quality ingredients, and a crispy texture, they're sure to satisfy. Just remember, with great spice comes great...responsibility? Maybe grab a drink on the side!”
“Will usually stop by this juice spot when I go for walks with my niece. She really enjoys the strawberry and banana smoothie along with a Lenny & Larrys chocolate chip cookie. Feels like my whole family takes her there every chance we get, the workers probably know her. The atmosphere around this juice bar is very welcoming and gives a chill vibe for anyone. Since my niece loves going for walks around the park, she'll usually tell us to go across the parking lot into the promenade and she'll ask for juice. So since my niece enjoys this spot, I have learned to enjoy it as well. We'll just get the juice and cookie and go outside of the juice bar and hang out on the tables and benches that are outside. Only wish that the promenade was built kind of like the Block at Orange. Would've enjoyed taking walks around the promenade instead everything is all over the place. But that's for another review to be written.”
“Ive been coming here for over 15 years.The food never fails to satisfy the receipe never changes the atmosphere is friendly. This place make customers feel welcomed.”
“I really enjoyed this place in the middle of the week. It was a business meeting/dinner, so I wasn't too sure it was the right venue. However, the staff sat us down in an area where we were not in the center and was rather perfect!Food was great and we were glad the service staff was not approaching us all the time.”

“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.”
“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!”

“First of all, I have to give a shout out to Fernando M., a most wonderful, attentive, sweet young man who was tending our table. This young man was SUPER attentive, and offered exceptional service. Our drink glasses were NEVER empty, he checked on us throughout our stay and just exhibited warmth and sweetness during our visit. Thank you FERNANDO M. YOU ROCKED!We visited on a Wednesday, at noon, because we wanted to avoid crowds, abs that worked perfectly. The place wasn't overcrowded, it was clean, the food was fresh and not picked through. The quality of food was top notch, I specially enjoyed the salad bar, huge variety. At roughly $20, you can't go wrong. Bring your eating pants because you'll definitely want the space since you'll want to eat everything. Keep it up Golden Corral, we shall return!Vegetarian options: Salad bar and many vegetables throughoutDietary restrictions: It's a buffet! There's something for everyoneParking: Huge lot, free parkingKid-friendliness: Los of kid friendly food, family oriented buffetWheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessible entrance and parking.”
“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.”

“We live a block away passed by many times telling ourselves we should try that place, omg! It’s totally awesome! Starting from Shae the sweet waitress she was so kind and lovely and she spoiled us from the moment we entered the restaurant. Then the cook who’s the owner, they kept sending us samples from their home made savory food. Shae, we loved your attention we are coming back for sure many times! Don’t judge the place by it’s looks it’s a 40 year old place! I could give more stars if I could. Wanna post photos but I DK why Google won’t let me though.”
