“Delicious dining at it's best. Cornbread out of this world and best clams I've ever had!”
“This is a 5+++, as you would be hard-pressed to find a more creative, flavorful and truly life-changing pasta meal than at Cento. The Spicy Pomodoro Pasta may be the singularly most delicious pasta dish on earth. The lamb meatballs… to die for. The grilled octopus, OMG. Pasta will never be the same for you. The beet spaghetti? Just ask Luca… it becomes part of you. Highly recommended.”
“Lovely spot with incredible atmosphere and food.The food was presented nicely and tasted even better. Would highly recommend the scallop/uni course and the skewers! the beef tongue was our favourite.As for the bone marrow, it was a little shallow and the miso overpowered it.Overall, I’d highly recommend n/soto to anyone looking for Japanese food around the area. Would definitely come again.”
“We ordered the hippo bread, cauliflower, ravioli with clams and the hangar steak. All so delicious! The hippo bread is soft and sweet with that butter. The cauliflower is shareable and so good! The ravioli was fine and the hangar steak was slightly sweet and tender. Our waiter, Alejandro, was so attentive and answered all of our questions. He was fabulous! The kitchen is open so you can look and see which is always fun! Love the music, too! We walked past the restaurant but then I remembered it was by the pizza place so we circled back and found it. Can't wait to return!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!”
“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.”

“Go. Just go. I’ve gone twice with my husband and we’ve ordered multiple, different dishes each time, and nothing disappoints. This unassuming spot isn’t your regular Thai. No need to go all the way to Thai Town, Mid City folks!! Try a dish you’ve never heard of. It won’t disappoint!I’ll add photos later but for now just know that you have to go.”
“I'm originally from Barcelona (nearby), and I have to say that Telefèric Barcelona (Los Angeles) made me feel like home. Their rice dish was very close to my parent's. Even the type of rice was unique to the dish. Additionally, the staff was extremely professional and some spoke Catalan, which made me feel even more close to home. Their Bravas and Pa amb tomata were excellent appetizers. Pair your meal with a "Catalan Gin and Tonic" and your experience will be out of this world!The vegan options were very good (vegetable paella/rice).”
“The food is amazing and it's pretty self explanatory "hotbox", the food seems to never get cold. They have a variety of options as well and give big servings, especially their fries. Their cheese fries are super nice melted and gooey just be careful because they are really hot, they literally stayed hot even after I finished my burger. The burgers are also pretty good and stay warm for a good while. If your in the area I recommend you try this place. The only bad part is that there is no dine in, but that's ok because your food will literally still be warm by the time you get home.”
“This place is very close to achieving what it's setting out to do: provide an elegant vegetarian dining experience. I think that might be hard to pull off in a strip mall however. The food and the art are fantastic but the interior design was poorly executed and comes off looking a little cheap. I went for my birthday but for the price this might have been a one time experience. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-06”

“Wanted to try something new so we decided to stop by and it exceeded our expectations! We got the Patita, Sisig, garlic rice, and lumpia. The patita was extremely crispy on the outside while the inside was very soft and fell off the bone! The sauce was amazing and the garlic rice went well with the dish! The sisig was soft and flavorful but had a bit more of a soy sauce taste to it which was not something I was used to with regular sisig, but still great ! Lumpia was crispy and loved eating it with the sweet and sour sauce!”
“Inside of Hammer museum!!! Beautifully seated in the arts and modern patio style cafe. We sat down at the bar for the quick coffee, bartender was very very polite and here we are!! Crazy savory coffee and balanced cake! This is perfect for arts! Even their linens are artistic ! It was beautiful oasis during the visiting the museum! Come and check it out! You will love this place”
“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.”

“Yummy tacos! We had the lomo saltado, carnitas and fish tacos and all were Good! We also had the potato and cheese taquitos and the cara cara Olive oil cake. The Olive oil cake was warm and moist on the inside and was crunchy and crisp on the outside. Went well with the orange sherbet that came with it!”
“It's a tragedy that Manzke is closing at the end of February. A restaurant this good shouldn't have to close. Everything is fantastic. The food is rich in flavor with a cocktail and wine list as close to perfection as possible. I'd encourage anyone who loves fine dining to enjoy Manzke while you can. Oh, and the butter is heavenly...”
“Fantastic and attentive staff. Food is delicious and an upgrade from old 101. I go often and am always looked after. Go once and you will go again. Unfortunately it's so good sometimes it can be a bit crowded. Not a problem, worth a wait and it's usually short. Enjoy”
“This jungle sanctuary is worth every dime. The decor is amazing, the service is excellent and the food is exquisite. Everything at Meteora is memorable; whether it's the à la carte menu or the set menu. The sweet pea hors d'oeuvre or the risotto entrée or the rib eye (the wagyu is advised) or the chocolate ganache with sorbet for dessert. Every dish leaves an unforgettable taste in your mouth. We were lucky to be served by Gina but then, everyone who brings a dish is super helpful. Thanks Meteora for this unforgettable culinary experience.”

“Pictured are the Tokyo Rich Tsukemen and the Smoked Dashi Ramen.The Tokyo Rich Tsukemen carried my experience here at Tonchin LA. I came here solely for the noodles made in collaboration with Keizo Shimamoto from Shimamoto Noodle Inc. They are really the star of the bowl. The tonkotsu gyokai broth was alright, but overall, this was one of the better tsukemen you can find in Socal imo.The Smoked Dashi Ramen, on the other hand, was quite weird. It starts off fine but the longer you take to eat it, the fishier the broth will get so get ready to slurp fast ?”
“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.”
“Want to impress LA visitors? Take them here for the shrimp tacos that will take them to Mars. They are out of this world delicious. Not a lot of seating. Service is super quick, and we decided to take it to-go, which they packed up very well (appreciated the cut corner in the styrofoam box). From Boyle Heights to Santa Monica, the crispy shrimp tacos maintained its crunch. Beware. This is the type of spot you're going to start craving for.”
“We've been here for dinner and brunch. One word: Exceptional in every way: Fantastic setting. Great service. Incredible menu and delicious food. Lovely Hwood views. Perfect ambiance, design and decor. Gorgeous decks, landscaping and rooftop lounge areas, restaurant and bar. Lemon Grove is one of my favorite places in all of LA. Just go. Grab a weekend brunch, go for dinner or just for a rooftop bar lounge and and drink. (Unlike some other roof top bars/restaurants in LA, this one has zero attitude - from either the staff and crowd. Just friendly, chill and pleasant. A+”

“Hidden away in the city of Los Angeles is this amazing bar that serves one of the tastiest omakase. Entering the bar, you see a bar top that seats approx 10-12 people, with a open kitchen vibe. My partner and I had a great time. The Sunday crew was very nice and attentive, engaging with the customers and making things fun! The selection of fish was amazing, definitely a different experience compared to other omakase establishments I've been to.Parking was very easy since they provided easy simple instructions on their website :). Will definitely visit again on a Sunday ??Parking: Easy to access garage and the elevator close by. Very nice :)”
“Such a cozy wine bar and they have good service and an intimate atmosphere overall. | P A R K I N G | Found parking along the street which was really convenient. Since it's located off 3rd street you'll find plenty of metered parking options, especially if you come a bit early. | S E R V I C E | Great service overall. Our waitress gave wonderful descriptions of both wine and food. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and great at what she does. | F O O D | Items we ordered were the olives and almonds ($10), crab fettuccini ($38), and the mussels ($28). *Olives were really tasty and not too salty. *Almonds have seasoning on them. *The crab fettuccine has a savory base as opposed to a cream base and is pretty tasty and fresh. * Mussels were okay and had to go back (a few had an odd taste) And some wine of course. They have one bottle of rose and it's pleasantly dry and not very sweet. Also fairly priced at $60.”
“Best salad that I've had in years. Food was fresh and served by staff that really cared about us and our experience. The atmosphere was relaxed, clean, and welcoming.Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian options. Staff was also happy to make other dishes, like call zone, vegetarian for us.”

“When there a week after Valentine's Day. The location is right under the Chinatown metro station which was kind of cool. They have a parking lot but street parking was plentiful. They sat us by the bar and the server station and we could hear the food expediter apologizing for being late and the owner being super chill about it. Without missing a bit, he went right up to the pass and got to work. The food was awesome with one exception - the Escargot was too herby and not garlicky enough for my taste. They had a very good wine list, the service was super friendly and the owner chatted us up. We will be back.”

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.”
“Great Korean BBQ & Attentive ServiceThis is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean BBQ in K-Town. I would rate this place a 4.5, but I'm giving it 5 stars to be generous. While it's not all-you-can-eat (which I actually prefer for a more focused dining experience), the quality of the food is top-notch. Their set menus come with a variety of delicious sides, including cheese corn and spicy noodles to finish. No more lunch box on the menu, but some of the best kimchi fried rice in K-Town—a must-try side dish.The restaurant is almost always buzzing, but the service is excellent. The staff is attentive and will even cook your food at the table for you if you'd like. The atmosphere is lively with good music and a fun crowd. It's conveniently located in Chapman Plaza, which offers a few other bars and restaurants, and is close to many other options on 6th Street.I noticed some reviews mentioning changes since COVID. While there have been some adjustments, the overall experience is still fantastic.Overall: this place is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ with a fun vibe and great service.Parking: The small lots in Chapman Plaza fill up quickly. There's a much more convenient option: the parking garage across S. Kenmore next to Woo Hyang Woo Korean BBQ (545 S Kenmore Ave, K 3 Parking). It's a flat $20 and stays open until 1 AM.”

“What I didn't like was the customer service, the person who served us was not friendly at all, first time I went and I don't think I will return, dirty tables, I asked for something to clean and everything was reluctant.Parking: There is enoughKid-friendliness: There is a children's menu”
“The ice cream occasions truly delivers one of the best ice cream experiences. The flavors are incredibly rich and decadent, satisfying even the most discerning palates. The texture is perfectly creamy, creating a velvety smooth sensation with every bite. The variety of flavors available is impressive, catering to both classic and adventurous taste preferences. The ice cream occasion is a delightful treat for any ice cream lover.”
“It was awesome. Jose was a great employee and very helpful.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan optionsDietary restrictions: They have a decent optional dietParking: Plenty of parking in the lotKid-friendliness: They’re very nice to kids hereWheelchair accessibility: There is an accessible ramp and restroom fitting for the handicapped”
“Bought 3, 3 pks at Costco. This focaccia, (Spinach & Feta, Jalapeno Cheddar, and Mozzerella Basil) lasted about 20 minutes in my house. I warmed up a baking sheet, spread the chopped garlic and olive oil and put it the oven. Within minutes my family followed their noses and were circling the kitchen island. I used my pizza cutter so everyone could sample. They all loved it so much, I looked to see where this bakery was. 70 minutes from my house! I sure hope Costco plans to carry these! They were truly a phenominal hit at my house.”
“Welcoming and flexible with excellent food and service. All staff wanted to be sure we had a fine time and meal. A complementary glass of champagne celebrating our event was generous.”
“I’m not one to engage in hyperbole or overstatement, but the dinner we had a Bavel last night was quite possibly the greatest dinner ever served. Seriously, the creativity in the menu was matched only by the flawless execution of the chef and kitchen in the dishes we had. The cocktails are fabulous, the waitstaff delightful, and we eagerly anticipating our next visit. If you have the chance, do NOT miss Bavel DTLA.”

“After eating here for the first time, I told my brother (who I ate with) this is definitely the spot to bring the parents. A couple months later, we brought mom and dad. Enough said. Service and quality of food were really good. Highlights include marinated prime short rib, aged prime tenderloin, steamed egg, and Korean chimichurri sauce.”
“Cool vibe in the main street area of Larchmont! Stopped here for a quick drink after shopping in the area. Got a Michelada and Sangria! The Michelada had a nice kick and served with their own beer. The Sangria was good too and not overly sweet. Lots of cute and small boutiques nearby. Definitely would come back, and try some of their food!”
“Superb place. Unfortunately Jonny Won (?) left couple of years ago but the current Chef is more than capable of upholding this restaurant's glowing reputation for exceptionally fresh ingredients and superb cooking skills. My only advice is to stick to fish and leave the meat dishes as, although nice, are not quite "wow" as they used to be.”
“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.”

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!”
“Adam and his staff provide excellent service and the sashimi as well as the handrolls are the best we have had on 3rd street, highly recommend (fish alone is amazing we don't even get it with the ponzu).Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate if you don't want ponzu or other sauces that come with the fish”
“I grew up in a Thai household and the food here is very much authentic! The Thai northern sausage “sai oua” (ไส้อั่ว) is made fresh and is soooo delicious! ? It is difficult to find a Thai restaurant that makes this dish fresh, not frozen.The atmosphere is very humble and the restaurant space is small, but I don’t mind at all. They have a lot of choices for takeout food.”
“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!”
“We will be back ! Awesome vibe.”
“Awesome service! Great people there. Just took my mom and daughter there to eat. We where a few $ short and they where so kind to us and let us go, with the food ☺️ I highly recommend them, the pizza was amazing! Truly amazing! We all couldn’t believe how wonderful it came out. Thanks again for wonderful food and service! We will tell all our friends! Also they take cash and Venmo!”
“We were there for a private party in the charming little room upstairs...the wonderful food, perfect service and the tone set from the manager on down was perfect. I've always loved this restaurant but had never been to a private event there and it definitely did not disappoint! Thanks Divino for a lovely evening!”
“Had one of their combo meals via delivery. Goat curry, saag paneer and a mixed veg dish with rice, naan and raita. Everything was delicious, certainly some of the best Indian food I've had close to mid city. Very much appreciate that they serve goat and have dishes on the menu that are outside the standard Indian menu you see at most places in the area. Looking forward to going in person and trying their balti dishes as well as the paya. "Very very spicy" here seems to mean mildly spicy, so if you're a chili head like me best to let them know you mean business. The cilantro mint chutney was probably the best I've ever had-so fresh. All around great food.”
“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?”
“It's all in the name. Good vibes. Clean wines. Fun times. The owner Ian is the most hospitable guy around, always down to answer questions and point folks in the right direction. Go share a bottle before your next show or Lakers game.”

“One of the best Omakase experiences I've had. The seasonal menu was perfectly selected and prepared: mouthwatering, mellow, strong, buttery, delectable, comforting. We enjoyed every bite, it was a crescendo of flavors. Thank you to Joshua for the polite service. We'll be back.”
“Absolutely loved this experience. Thank you for this wonderful comfortable dinner. It’s exactly what I love. The restaurant is not big which I liked because it felt cozy and not super crowded. Non of the courses specifically stood out but everything was perfect. Service was absolutely incredible, always caring and super friendly. Loved how they kept giving extra courses and even adding a lovely Polaroid picture at the end. It’s crazy how they even thank us again by sending a letter to my address. Loved it and LOVED IT. Just go”
“Outstanding food and service. Reservations were limited so we went right when they opened and snagged seats at the end of the sushi bar. The highlights for us were the inventive, perfectly seasoned hamachi choco and buttery salmon nigiri—but honestly we would reorder everything we tried and can’t wait to come back to sample the rest of the menu. Mariano made us feel like VIPs with his stellar recommendations and good conversation. So happy to have this gem in the neighborhood! We look forward to enjoying their sister restaurant, Bar Seco, opening soon next door.”

“Service excellent. Ambiance very geared toward focusing on the food. Overall a great experience with a high level of quality. Our highlight unexpectedly was the Hokkaido sardines. My SO and I literally stopped and stared at each other mid-chew, astonished at how good it was. Initially they thought something was wrong after seeing us freeze, but they then realized we were just stunned from how good the dishes were.”
“I recently had dinner (reservations are a must) here in Downtown L.A.'s Arts District and was blown away by the entire experience from the moment I walked through that giant heavy wood door. With an evolving menu dependent of local California produce and focusing primarily on wood-fired and charcoal-fueled grill and stove cooking, Chef Junya Yamasaki and Team take you on a journey for all of your senses. This is progressive Japanese cuisine at its best! We had: Brown rice sake sangria; Passionfruit/sweet potato shochu & tonic water; Crispy Japanese Eggplant Fritters w/hot chili honey; Blue Fin Tuna Tartar w/cured egg yolk, breakfast radish & potato crisps; Grilled Saikyo Mido Marinated Black Cod, Mochi Rice & Sweetcorn-wrapped in fig leaf; Grilled Matsutake Mushrooms W/ roasted whole baby pumpkin stuffed w/an egg; Grilled Peads & Barnetts Pork Collar, mashed cannellini beans & charred peppers; and Irish Coffee Kakigori (shaved ice served w/coffee & Irish whiskey syrup, dates. & whipped cream)”
“Morihiro was a solid omakase experience, but it's not as intimate as the other elevated omakase experiences in this price range...it was pretty crowded. There were only table seats the day we went, but we still enjoyed our dinner here. I was little a taken aback by the way the unique way the rice is prepared, but it was still pretty good. All the dishes were explained and presented well but overall Morihiro just lacked that wow factor. I think I also just prefer a more intimate omakase experience.”
“Day/Time: Friday / 6:45 - 8:30pm Location: Sushi bar (Made reservations) Music: not really sure generally (the volume was low), but there was definitely some early Black Sabbath. Food: Omakase - Everything was awesome except the barracuda (it was a little chewy), but I think it's my personal preference. Drinks: A bottle of Tedorigawa Yamahai Daiginjo Ishikawa (was tasty to me, but I don't know much about nihonshuu). Service: Excellent. Timing was great. Water/drink glasses never left empty and didn't have to ask for anything to be refilled. Parking: ubered, but the place is in a minimall, so there's some parking (maybe a dozen or so spaces).”
“Wanted to try something new so we decided to stop by and it exceeded our expectations! We got the Patita, Sisig, garlic rice, and lumpia. The patita was extremely crispy on the outside while the inside was very soft and fell off the bone! The sauce was amazing and the garlic rice went well with the dish! The sisig was soft and flavorful but had a bit more of a soy sauce taste to it which was not something I was used to with regular sisig, but still great ! Lumpia was crispy and loved eating it with the sweet and sour sauce!”
“The ambience is great! Very nice and homey spot. The staff was very kind too. We ordered a bit of everything.Pros:Prices are very good for all the dishes. Nothing was over 15 dollars on the menu. The shrimp wontons and pan fried pork buns were the best items with the most flavor. The beef roll was huge in size. Great for people that enjoy cucumber and thicker slices of the meat. The bean curd salad had a nice bite and flavor to it. They also have sparkling water on tap!Cons:Parking is bad. Getting street parking is like winning the lottery. The other option is to pay for parking which can range between 10-30 dollars. The dan dan noodles and sha gua mian did not meet our expectations. The noodles seemed a bit overcooked and a sauce/acid could have given the dish more of a balance in flavor.Our table marker was taken off the table a little early and that's when we saw on the receipt that a missing item was added incorrectly. Our server fixed it promptly so that was great.”
Cheap Eats
“They lived up to the hype both the pork belly and the wontons tasted absolutely good. I can highly recommend it. Qmd we did not hear any names being called during for those on the wait list. Thought the wait time can be long. Bring ansun umbrella for sunny days. Their locals are rather small for the high demand.”
“Got a couple of cheese slices. Apparently New Jersey style.They were perfectly crunchy but the sauce could use some work. And while I like a good caramelized burnt crusty edge on my squares just as much as the next square lover, these actually ended up being a tad too burnt (especially in the corners) and lacked the crust synergy that can make square slices a delight to eatThe manager helped me out. He was chill and answered all my question while dropping a little knowledge in the process.It's got potential, just don't see it having the foot traffic in this area. Hopefully the ghost que has its back.It's a probably a 3.5 but I'm rounding up because I'd go back. Square pizza is still surprisingly uncommon in LA county. Emmy Squared is the only other I can think of that specializes. Mostly an afterthought at the places that do have a Sicilian or Grandma.”
“The sandwich is just perfect! The Italian sandwich is a must try!I wish it came with a pickle without having to pay an extra $1 for it. The sandwich is pretty pricey to come without any pickles.Black sesame dessert was also good but it would have been so much better if it was warm or fresh. Very hard to cut through.”
“After visiting Hijo de su Madre several times for their award winning and phenomenal Yucetecan vegan greatness I was quite excited when I saw on their IG they were adding a vegan burger menu. It just launched a few days ago, but is already my favorite burger (got the Phat Hass Burger) in LA and I have had them all. Even more profoundly, they have the best loaded frots I’ve ever had by a landslide! Run don’t walk to try the new menu (will be on the delivery apps soon!) and then keep coming back because everything on the menu is perfection. 5 stars!!!”
“The olympic sandwich is so good I highly reccomend it. It tastes better than the traditional bahn mi yet it still maintains the familiar taste that we all know and love. The interior is also very clean and aesthetic so I would come back to try out the other sandwiches!”
“Went to Ramen Nagi the other day and honestly not my favorite. Service was great and the food came out super fast but personally the flavors weren't there for me. I had a spicy level 2 and it was a hint of spice, I probably would've been fine w a 4 since I'm not that great w spicy stuff. The pork belly meat was just ok in my perspective. I had ordered the Black king and did both chashu and pork belly, I think there was a tiny bit of a sweet flavor to it vs savory but idk maybe that was just me, or maybe the black garlic. The restaurant is cute and small on the inside and everyone was super nice and helpful but not somewhere that I personally would return to given so many amazing ramen spots in LA but I mean if I hadn't tried it before I would still try it for the first time again we also had the gyoza which was yummy.”
“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.”
“It’s an amazing over all experience. Great to take a group of friends to share the experience with and the food share style is fun . The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is amazing . The atmosphere is a cool chill vibe that is welcoming and it matches its cool aesthetics”
“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.”
“So far, my experience working with Mr. Ralph Carico has been incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of trading and well-connected. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to him. I highly recommend contacting him for your stock trading needs. He is the best trader. Ralph Carico is the real deal!”
“I can't recall the last time I dined at a restaurant where the cuisine, ambiance, and customer service were all exceptional. Carlitos Gardel is definitely the place to go if you're seeking something extraordinary.”
“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡”
“Inside of Hammer museum!!! Beautifully seated in the arts and modern patio style cafe. We sat down at the bar for the quick coffee, bartender was very very polite and here we are!! Crazy savory coffee and balanced cake! This is perfect for arts! Even their linens are artistic ! It was beautiful oasis during the visiting the museum! Come and check it out! You will love this place”
“An underrated spot, delicious pizzas & tapas with great wine pairings. The food menu doesn’t have a ton of options but the quality makes up for the quantity of selections.”
“I was impressed with this place! A great find indeed. Outstanding meal here. The staff does an amazing job of describing anything on the menu and the ambiance is very cool. Can't wait to come back!”
“This is what spontaneous LA dining is about. Just walked by hungry. Super cute. You can be sat with full service or you can order with a number and find a lil spot to eat with a number. Both ways are full menu. Everything was tasty and out quick.”
“We loved our experience here. Attentive service and really good food. My only critique as a person with food allergies is that I wish those were listed on the menu (GF, V, DF, etc). A gluten free toast option would be amazing too, but I’ll take what I can get!”
“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.”
“This place was cool. It was bright, loved the bookcases and the owner took the time to come out to greet us. We had a delicious dinner. The crispy mushrooms and lettuce wrap appetizers were really good. Add a pizza, salmon tacos and a mushroom burger, we had a feast!! We’d definitely go back again.”
“We've been here for dinner and brunch. One word: Exceptional in every way: Fantastic setting. Great service. Incredible menu and delicious food. Lovely Hwood views. Perfect ambiance, design and decor. Gorgeous decks, landscaping and rooftop lounge areas, restaurant and bar. Lemon Grove is one of my favorite places in all of LA. Just go. Grab a weekend brunch, go for dinner or just for a rooftop bar lounge and and drink. (Unlike some other roof top bars/restaurants in LA, this one has zero attitude - from either the staff and crowd. Just friendly, chill and pleasant. A+”
“After eating here for the first time, I told my brother (who I ate with) this is definitely the spot to bring the parents. A couple months later, we brought mom and dad. Enough said. Service and quality of food were really good. Highlights include marinated prime short rib, aged prime tenderloin, steamed egg, and Korean chimichurri sauce.”
“One of the best Omakase experiences I've had. The seasonal menu was perfectly selected and prepared: mouthwatering, mellow, strong, buttery, delectable, comforting. We enjoyed every bite, it was a crescendo of flavors. Thank you to Joshua for the polite service. We'll be back.”
“I came around 6pm. The place was busy. I was told wait will be 40 minutes, luckily they gave me the small table right away.I got the special Margherita, it was excellent.There are 2 Margheritas, one uses regular mazorella the other one uses fresh buffalo mazorella. I had the special one. It was glorious.”
“This place had so many great reviews and I'm within walking distance - How could I not try it? Staff was attentive/interested in my experience of the food. Menu was definitely interesting. I was glad that one of my dishes was not too cloying by being OVER dressed, but it could have used a little more of its vinaigrette or something to tie it together a TAD more. Another dish was perfectly cheesy, a wagyu empanada of sorts. The food tasted clean, which is always better than cloying. Was it as outstanding or remarkable/memorable as everybody said in other reviews? I didn't have that experience but maybe because I wasn't having any cocktails. :-) A drink and a little buzz can always make a dining experience taste and feel even better. ? I know food prices have gone way up, and I'm a generous tipper, but it came up to almost 50 for two appetizers. I do think the appetizers were fairly portioned.”
“Such a cozy wine bar and they have good service and an intimate atmosphere overall. | P A R K I N G | Found parking along the street which was really convenient. Since it's located off 3rd street you'll find plenty of metered parking options, especially if you come a bit early. | S E R V I C E | Great service overall. Our waitress gave wonderful descriptions of both wine and food. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and great at what she does. | F O O D | Items we ordered were the olives and almonds ($10), crab fettuccini ($38), and the mussels ($28). *Olives were really tasty and not too salty. *Almonds have seasoning on them. *The crab fettuccine has a savory base as opposed to a cream base and is pretty tasty and fresh. * Mussels were okay and had to go back (a few had an odd taste) And some wine of course. They have one bottle of rose and it's pleasantly dry and not very sweet. Also fairly priced at $60.”
“I love Pine & Crane! Seriously amazing Taiwanese food. The restaurant is stylish, modern and clean while the food is very authentic and completely delicious. My kids were surprised at how tasty everything was. Healthy too! We will def be back often!!!! If they have it, the lotus root salad is a must! 3 cup chicken is amazing, wontons, etc… I want to try the wood ear mushrooms next!!!”
“It was great to eat with family!!I chose All U Can, and the meat quality was better than I expected. In particular, the brisket and marinated ribs were really good.The staff were friendly and I enjoyed my meal to the fullest!!The valet parking fee was $10, which was too expensive, so I used street parking nearby.”
“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!”
“It was super tasty with great service. The waitress also helped a lot with the food preparation.Vegetarian options: You can choose a lot with tofuParking: Behind the building”
“I loved the nook niche restaurant tight inside Los Angeles. I sat by the bar and had the uni panna cotta. It was tangy, creamy, and crunchy. It was worth it. I’m coming back.”
“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.””
“I had been looking forward to trying Hatchet Hall for a while and went with my husband before a comedy show. There are a number of aspects of the experience that were lovely and some that make me wonder if I will be back. Food: 7/10 - Good but did not get wowed by anything! We got the cornbread which tasted like eggs (I hate eggs) so it was meh, the hush puppies were delicious, then we got a salad which had barely cut lettuce and was COVERED in dressing. We shared the oysters which tasted like cumin and cinnamon and the scallops which were delicious. Would love to come back with different things on the menu. Service: 6/10 - it was too much. Our waiter was nice and pretty knowledgeable but we only saw him occasionally. I really wish we did not see the busser as much as we did. He was ALWAYS at our table and reaching over to pour water. I get that they charge 20% for service but it took away from the dining experience a bit. Atmosphere: 8/10 super cute vibes and tucked away in a garden feel. We went for dinner at 6 and we were pretty cold when it ended because we sat in the outdoor section near the inside. One other weird thing is 2 bathrooms for all those guests- yikes. I also looked at a wall the entire time. Overall we enjoyed our time and the team was efficient but I did not leave wowed to come back, especially for the price point.”
“Superb place. Unfortunately Jonny Won (?) left couple of years ago but the current Chef is more than capable of upholding this restaurant's glowing reputation for exceptionally fresh ingredients and superb cooking skills. My only advice is to stick to fish and leave the meat dishes as, although nice, are not quite "wow" as they used to be.”
“So beautiful! The patio, the service, the food. Everything is wonderfilled. And vegan!!!Vegetarian options: Vegan peanut butter stem and charred okra salad are amazing.”
“The food is exceptional! I ordered a catering order for a graduation party-The food arrived on time and was amazing. My father raved over the chicken tikka masala saying it surpassed his favorite restaurant in New York and my husband who travels to India for business thought the paneer was the best he's ever had. Additionally, my children have tree nut and peanut allergies and their food is nut free which is quite difficult to find. I highly recommend the food. You will not be disappointed.”

“If you want good Filipino food from a family owned cozy staple in Filipino town then this is the place to go! Came by here during a visit to LA and it was recommended by some friends who live in the neighborhood and I was not disappointed at all. Here are some takeaways:EnvironmentThis is a small cozy restaurant that has a family style vibe to it. A great welcoming energy, we felt right at home. We stopped around midday during the week so it wasn't a lot of people there. Overall it was relaxing and warm - great for lunch with friends or if you're alone and want to grab a bite to eat.ServiceOur server happened to also be the daughter of the owners. She was great and was happy to share some of the history of the restaurant with me. She was very helpful with telling us about the food and giving us recommendations. Great service!Food and drinksWe had a little bit of everything - and all of it was great! Here's a run down of everything we had:MAMA LEAH'S COCONUT BEEF ADOBOANN'S CORNBREAD BIBINGKASTEAMED WHITE RICENOEL'S SMOKED GOUDA MACSAN PABLO PULLED PORKEverything was delicious. The coconut beef (amazing!) was great with the steamed white rice, the mac and cheese was tasty, the pulled pork had a lot of flavor and the cornbread was warm and sweet, but not too sweet. Again - all the food was great.OverallLovely family owned restaurant. So glad that we stopped by here. If i'm ever in LA again this will definitely be a place I'll visit again. Great food with a great story.”
“We went for Mother's Day and everyone enjoyed their food. Especially the Rigatoni! We had a 2:15 PM reservation and didn't realize the kitchen closed at 2:30. We were able to get our orders in but it felt a bit rusher. Wished we had known so we could have come in earlier. The service was great snd my girls said the place had a cool vibe. We'll definitely go back!”
“The service is excellent and so is the food! There is ample parking space with good security. Our server, Nina was very attentive . Our cook, Neo, even showed us how to properly prepare a lettuce wrap. Highly recommended.”
“Outstanding food and service. Reservations were limited so we went right when they opened and snagged seats at the end of the sushi bar. The highlights for us were the inventive, perfectly seasoned hamachi choco and buttery salmon nigiri—but honestly we would reorder everything we tried and can’t wait to come back to sample the rest of the menu. Mariano made us feel like VIPs with his stellar recommendations and good conversation. So happy to have this gem in the neighborhood! We look forward to enjoying their sister restaurant, Bar Seco, opening soon next door.”
“Very pleasantly surprised by the meal. Ambiance is great, perfect music volume. Great looking outdoor space, but i never felt outside. The food was the real star of the show. Service seems to start slow, by design. They give you a moment 5-10 minutes to settle into your table, before the "show" commences.”
“It was even better than I remember. I had the catfish po boy, chicken & waffles. The French bread, remoulade sauce & generous seasoning of the fish were delicious. I would definitely not consider myself a grits fan but the fried cinnamon sugar grits…so good. I can definitely post photos of empty boxes but other than that ??♀️. You’re going to have to order your own. Make sure you order directly on the restaurant site www.gritznwafflez.com. Signed up with my email when I ordered & got a discount.”
“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!”
“I’ve been here many times but always sat at the bar. This time I sat in the main dining area. While the dining area is quite expansive and seats a lot of people, our service was incredibly fast. The food was top notch and authentic Italian. I’ve never had anything at the bakery, but they are famous for their macarons and other delectable pastries.”
“Adam and his staff provide excellent service and the sashimi as well as the handrolls are the best we have had on 3rd street, highly recommend (fish alone is amazing we don't even get it with the ponzu).Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate if you don't want ponzu or other sauces that come with the fish”
“Best salad that I've had in years. Food was fresh and served by staff that really cared about us and our experience. The atmosphere was relaxed, clean, and welcoming.Vegetarian options: Large selection of vegetarian options. Staff was also happy to make other dishes, like call zone, vegetarian for us.”
“Lovely little hole in the wall in Boyle Heights! Obviously this place is very well known for being some of the oldest and most traditional food in LA and it deserves its local fame. Definitely worth a stop for a home-cooked, cozy meal. Owner was also super cute, she knew many regulars by name and was very kind. Parking was not great, area wasn't that great either but no surprises there.”
“Excellent service, great food and wine. Loved the ambiance. Looking forward to going again!”
“Hit up this spot last night and had a great time! The crowd is hipster casual, service is solid with some very handsome bartenders, and the drinks are great! Decor is modern with a chic feel, and though this spot doesn't serve food there was an amazing pizza truck out front which they allow you to eat inside the bar. Bonus points for easy street parking in the area. Definitely looking forward to having more drinks here very soon!”
“Loreto is currently my favorite restaurant. I don’t even consider myself a seafood person but wow, every dish they have brings me closer to it. Drinks, food, desserts, and service are all impeccable. Tonight we got to do the omakase which was so unique and a really amazing experience. All the dishes were creatively thought out with seasonal ingredients in mind. I’ll definitely be coming back in the summer for their next one!!”
“Wanted to bring my mom somewhere new to celebrate a late Mother's Day and I stumbled upon Jemma on mighty Yelp. Reservations were easy to get on a Monday night through OpenTable so that was a huge plus. The hostess during our dinner shift was very friendly and even sat us earlier than our actual reservation time.The ambiance of the restaurant was something that you would want while eating delicious Italian food - cozy, welcoming and unpretentious. Our server, who I believe was named Christopher, was very knowledgable with their whole menu. He offered the house specials but we decided to stick to our plan.We started our meal with an order of calamari which I would say was pretty delicious even though it was a bit on the more pricey side. Regardless, it was very tasty and crispy! The sauces that come with the plate were also both delectable. This appetizer well with two cocktails we ordered which were the Niki and the Basil Marg. So refreshing with the right amount of alchohol.Moving on to the mains, we got The Bianco pizza and Orecchiette pasta. The pizza was uniquely flavored and cooked to perfection. Same goes with our choice of pasta which was somewhat spicy and infused with garlic but still ended up being very, very delicious.We ended our night with a Tiramisu and a cup of hot cappuccino with oat milk. This is a must order after all of those carbs that I will never regret eating.Thank you to the awesome team of Jemma for delivering a memorable dining experience.”
“Superb creative Mexican cuisine and impressive cocktails, even without alcohol (virgin)”
“Yummy and giant portions of food. Had egg rolls and Pad Thai. I couldn‘t finish it, as it was a huge portion. I will come back for sure if I will be back to LA ☺️”
“I was recommended there by Jillian Barberie from Good Day L.A. It was my 1st time there & it did not disappoint at all. Valet parking. Quick prompt service, waitress was attentive and food was spot on! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow”
“Restaurant is beautifully designed. I loved the breakfast table setting. Genuine friendly greeting and service from Kevin was outstanding. My Croque Madame was delicious. Thank you chefs. Great job everyone.”
“We got seated quick and was greeted by our server. Super nice. They have 5 TVs and a nice ambiance. My husband got the appetizer nachos as his meal, he doesn't eat meat so our server suggested swapping out with vegetarian patties. He ate it clean. I had the classic burger (smashed like) no mustard or cheese. I added mushrooms and it came with fries. I love my burger, a little messy, but good. They have a wide selection of drinks. Outside and inside seating. Only thing we didn't love was parking, I would just park on the street in the neighborhood across the street. They have a lot of Yelp bannered everywhere. Highly rated. We would totally come again.”
“The place is gorgeous, especially if you love a nice terrace. The food... Is it because it's the only middle Eastern gluten free place, or is it because the ingredients are fresh, or is it because the preparation is perfect, or maybe it's all the small details... I think it's all of the above, one of the best middle Eastern places in LA, and the best gluten free one :) enjoy their manahish!”
“I was in Santa Monica yesterday morning in line to eat at another restaurant. It was already lunch time. But I wanted breakfast food. I asked the people in line if that restaurant served French Toast for breakfast. A very nice young woman with a cute dog said "go to John O'Groats" if you want a traditional French Toast Breakfast. I followed her advice and drove out to John O'Groats. I am so glad that I did. This place is a tradition diner with a lot of charm. The French Toast was great. As was the coffee. The service was good. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I will definitely be returning to this location with friends. This is a great place to have lunch or dinner. Before I drove out there, I called. I got an outgoing voice message. I left a message in which I said that I had wished that someone had answered the phone. I just wanted to know if they are still serving breakfast. When I arrived, the proprietor said to me "You called didn't you?" I answered in the affirmative. He responded "We have breakfast all day every day!" I wish I had taken down the name and contact information of the woman who recommended John O'Groats. I would have enjoyed sharing my experience with her.”
“Hidden away in the city of Los Angeles is this amazing bar that serves one of the tastiest omakase. Entering the bar, you see a bar top that seats approx 10-12 people, with a open kitchen vibe. My partner and I had a great time. The Sunday crew was very nice and attentive, engaging with the customers and making things fun! The selection of fish was amazing, definitely a different experience compared to other omakase establishments I've been to.Parking was very easy since they provided easy simple instructions on their website :). Will definitely visit again on a Sunday ??Parking: Easy to access garage and the elevator close by. Very nice :)”
“The caesar salad is pretty under rated!!Been a few times and noted either happy employees or grumpy rude employees theres no gray area there. But food is very great ?”
“An outstanding evening - great food, excellent, informative & fun Server (Thanks, Maria!). Nice vibe. Cozy space. Counter is fun. AND - who would have ever imagined we'd try “Orange Wine” (don't be a chicken like me - it's actually a whole new experience) ?. Really nice.”
“Great food!!! Outdoor dining! Cool vibe! On evenings when there is music is especially an experience and all with City Hall lit up!”

“I just want to thank you Mr. Jerry for all you do, very amazing. I was very skeptical at first, never heard of someone fixing low credit score on excellent reports. After being turned down for a home loan, I filed for my credit report to see what was on it. To my dismay there were duplications, misinformation as well as things that weren't even mine. No wonder I couldn't get the loan. A friend from work said to me that good day, my friend look out for JerryLink Credit Group on the Internet and so I did. After going through and I saw some positive reviews, I decided to contact them. I’m glad I did. It took only 15days to erase negative information, and push my score to 790s from the initial 550s across all three bureaus. You too can testify like me by reaching out to them”
“This little Jewel in Chinatown is the best ever! I discovered it back in 2008. I introduced it to my mother and she's been taking all my family members there since it seems to be a ritual now with the family to go there. I highly suggest if you like Chinese food this is the spot. The parking is minimum but it's worth it. I would drive in circles all day just to have a bite. And their curd sesame balls are to die for a must try and to go”
“I HAD NOT VISITED THIS LOCATION IN A WHILE. I USED TO BE A REGULAR. I STOPPED COMING BY SINCE THEY GOT RID OF THE CHUNCKY BEEF BURRITO YEARS BACK. I RETURNED YESTERDAY EVENING 10/12/2023 AT AROUND 6PM FOR DINNER. THE LOCATION AT THAT TIME IS NOT BUSY. THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING. THE FACILITY HAS CAMERAS INSIDE AND OUT FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND. THERE'S A SINGLE-FAMILY RESTROOM AVAILABLE. YOU DO HAVE TO ASK FOR THE KEY. THERE'S COMFORTABLE TABLE SEATING SIMILAR TO BOOTH TYPE. THEY HAVE HIGHCHAIRS FOR BABIES. MY HUSBAND HAD THE BEEF PASTRAMI MEAL THAT INCLUDES THE SANDWHICH, FRIES AND A DRINK FOR $17.99. MY TEEN SON HAD THE PLAIN DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER MEAL WITH FRIES AND A DRINK. FOR $11.99 I HAD THE AVOCADO BACON CHEESEBIRGER WITH FRIES AND A DRINK FOR $12.99. WE TOOK OUR 7TH MONTH OLD BOY WITH US. HE USED A WOOD HIGHCHAIR. WE HAD TO PUT A ONSIE AND A BLANKET ON HIM BECAUSE IT'S CHILLY IN THERE WHICH IS FINE FOR US BUT NOT THE BABY. ANYWAY, THE SERVICE: IF YOU HAVE VISITED THE BURGER PALACE BEFORE, YOU KNOW THAT IT'S THE HOOD. TO ME SERVICE WAS GREAT, THE WORKERS ARE EFFICIENT, LOUD, FAST AND FRIENDLY. THEY CAN BE FUNNY AND THROW JOKES DURING THE INTERACTION BUT I CAN SEE WHY SOME PEOPLE WOULD GET OFFENDED. THE RESTAURANT IS CLEAN: OFCOURSE THERE'S VANDALISM BUT THE FLOOR AND TABLES ARE CLEAN AND RESTROOM IS EQUIPPED WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. THE CUSTOMERS/CLIENTELE IS SOMETHING ELSE THOUGH!! WITNESSES THREE CASES OF DIFFICULT CUSTOMERS WHILE EATING THERE. THEY PUT ON A SHOW! CUSTOMERS SCREAM OUT "CUT IT IN HALF" "ADD MORE CHEESE" ... HOW DO THEY EVEN KNOW THAT'S THEIR FOOD??? LOL! ALSO, MULTIPLE SKETCHY PEOPLE ENTERING THE FACILITY TRYING TO TRADE ITEMS SUCH AS SHOES, WALLETS, FLASHLIGHTS FOR FOOD. I WAS ON THE LOOKOUT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE MIGHT SNATCH MY PHONE. THE FOOD: PRICEY BUT WORTH THE PRICE! HONESTLY! I HAVE NEVER PAID $17.99 FOR A BEEF PASTRAMI SANDWHICH MEAL. THE SANDWHICH WAS BIG AND PACKED WITH MEAT. MY HUSBAND ONLY ATE 1/2 AND SAVED THE OTHER HALF FOR WORK LUNCH. THE BURGERS WERE SO DELICIOUS, BIG, JUICY AND FULL OF FLAVOR. THE FRIES WERE SO CRISPY AND THE FOUNTAIN DRINKS HAD CO2 AND GREAT FLAVOR. WE LEFT FAT, FULL, HAPPY AND WILL DEFINETLY RETURN. DO CHECK YOUR BURGER BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RESTAURANTIF YOU ORDERED IT A SPECIAL WAY. MY SON'S CHEESEBURGER WAS NOT PLAIN BUT IT WAS NO BIG DEAL, THEY TOOK CARE OF US. ALSO, COUNT YOUR CHANGE. A GUY PAYED WITH $100 AND RECEIVED THE WRONG CHANGE.”
“Very disappointed in the entertainment. No beetle juice, only 3 performers (Raven, sally, and corpse bride). Was not worth the 100 dollars we each paid. It was very boring waiting for the entertainment to come out and then only for a very short time. I give the entertainment 1 star.”
“It's too bad they closed. The food was great. No more Chinese restaurants in San Pedro other than the Panda Express and Northern Cafe. The food at Panda Express is just okay. The food at the Northern Cafe is excellent. If you haven't tried it you are missing out. I highly recommend it. Nim Chans is also very good for take out”
“A little over 3 years ago, Fleur Cafe opened, and has been a fine success as a small, one-of family restaurant with excellent service and great food at reasonable prices. Now they have expanded their kitchen, and finally introduced an expanded menu with wonderful new dishes added to the popular favorites! I personally enjoy the outdoor dining option, but they have also got a nice little dining room. Prices have gone up a bit, but it is still a very reasonable breakfast, brnch and lunch choice.”
“I went to Geshmak last week on a Thursday. It was a great ambiance to be in plus they had their Shabbos Takeout Menu available (yes, they had cholent). The food was spectacular and the service was even better! I very much appreciated the kid's menu, although very simple, my kids ate it all and that's always the hard part. The dine-in kid's menu has a coloring sheet so the kids were entertained the whole time! 10/10 would come back again.”

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.”
“We were seated at the counter in front of the salad prep station. It was fun getting to watch some of our food as it was made. My friend and I both ordered wine. Unfortunately the Pinot Gris we wanted was no longer available but I thoroughly enjoyed the Grenache. We ordered the ricotta and bread appetizer, Caesar salad, pork tagliatelle and soppressata and honey pizza. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted delicious. We finished with the chocolate budino tart. It was yummy but I wish we ordered something else. It didn't feel totally unique. Service was spot on and moved quickly. Would definitely go back!”
“If you aren't going to Tam's during the Christmas season, you're missing out on your Christmas Carol fantasy. Period clad carolers take requests, cocktails are served in tea pots, the charm is endless. If you don't want to commit to a whole dinner situation, you can still feel the vibes by just going to the bar and having a tasty cocktail. It can get quite busy, so if you're dining make a reservation ahead of time, and if you're hitting the bar consider your timing.”
“Last night's dinner at Osteria Mozza was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere enveloped us in a warm, inviting embrace. The interior struck a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.The food was nothing short of spectacular. Standouts included the burrata with peas and speck, the endive and fennel salad, and the papardelle was a revelation in texture and taste.Also remarkable was Alyssa, our waitress. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and impeccable timing made our meal flow seamlessly. She recommended the perfect dishes and was attentive without being intrusive. Alyssa’s warm personality and professional demeanor greatly enhanced our evening.Osteria Mozza is a gem that I can’t recommend enough. The combination of delicious, well-crafted food, a charming atmosphere, and stellar service made our visit truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a dining experience that will impress on all levels, Osteria Mozza is the place to go.”
“This was our second visit in a month!! My husband the rib eye so much he got it again. I tried short ribs! Omg so so delicious. We also loved the wedge salad. Perfect!! We'll be back. It's just so comfy and delicious. Great place to just be us and enjoy a night together!!”
“I have been yo Eatay few times but this was my first time at Terra and I fell in love with the vibe. Really beautiful view and relax atmosphere. Amazing to grab a drink after walking around Century City. Their foods however was pretty average, I really loved the trumpet mushroom, so tasty! The beef and chicken sticks truly lacked some salt and taste to them. The servers were very attentive and their service was quick and good.”
“Seating was a little tight but the food was very good! The service was great too. The food was definitely not as spicy as I thought it would be for a Korean restaurant so it’s definitely friendly for those that prefer non to low spice.Dietary restrictions: They do have non seafood options but I can’t say if it’s safe for someone with severe allergiesWheelchair accessibility: The seating was very tight so it may be difficult for someone with a mobility aid”
“We went for Mother's Day and had an 11 am reservation, our party was not all there but the hostess we great and friendly and didnt rush us and still held our table . Once we were seated we were explained how the menu worked (since this was our first time at the restaurant) we did the $49.00 brunch and the $27.99 drink experience. I enjoyed every single dish I ordered and husband and son liked several the drinks. Some ppl in our party did say the food need more seasoning, but I was okay. Our server was Ozzy and he was absolutely great and attentive...actually everyone working that day was very attentive and had great energy. I cant wait to go back”

“Great Korean BBQ & Attentive ServiceThis is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean BBQ in K-Town. I would rate this place a 4.5, but I'm giving it 5 stars to be generous. While it's not all-you-can-eat (which I actually prefer for a more focused dining experience), the quality of the food is top-notch. Their set menus come with a variety of delicious sides, including cheese corn and spicy noodles to finish. No more lunch box on the menu, but some of the best kimchi fried rice in K-Town—a must-try side dish.The restaurant is almost always buzzing, but the service is excellent. The staff is attentive and will even cook your food at the table for you if you'd like. The atmosphere is lively with good music and a fun crowd. It's conveniently located in Chapman Plaza, which offers a few other bars and restaurants, and is close to many other options on 6th Street.I noticed some reviews mentioning changes since COVID. While there have been some adjustments, the overall experience is still fantastic.Overall: this place is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ with a fun vibe and great service.Parking: The small lots in Chapman Plaza fill up quickly. There's a much more convenient option: the parking garage across S. Kenmore next to Woo Hyang Woo Korean BBQ (545 S Kenmore Ave, K 3 Parking). It's a flat $20 and stays open until 1 AM.”
“i’m not a review girly but i had to take the time to write one for this gem of a coffee shop ❣️ FINALLY somewhere in LA to get SporTea (if you haven’t ever had it please try it it’s the BEST) not only that - but their peanut-butter latte is truly out of this world.such kind staff. amazing coffee. not the best seating if you want to sit for a long time (more of a good time than a long time kinda vibe) but truly my new favorite in LA!”
“I reached out to Flouring about creating a custom cake for my friend's birthday, and they helped make her dream cake a reality! I sent them an reference photo and the cake they made came out even cuter than what I had in mind. My friend was over the moon happy when she saw the cake and everyone at dinner was raving about how amazing the cake looked and tasted.They made the entire process so easy from start to finish, I couldn't be happier.Thank you to the Flouring team!”
“Lovely and uber yummy new spot for Poke (bowl of fresh, raw fish on rice w/ toppings) & Temaki (sushi hand roll) in Highland Park.Being a transplant from the 626, Poke has always been one of the food staples of my life. These folks here do it right. After 5 separate visits over a month, I can most definitely say:*Super fresh fish and seafood. Not a hint of fish past its prime or, worse, not properly stored.*Rice is hot and freshly made.*Topping selections are plenty and very familiar to those who love Poke.*Sauce is just right. Not too sheisty and not drenching the whole thing.*Hand Rolls are made on the spot. All the same qualities above.*Kitchen and preparation area are PRISTINE clean. This is so important for a Poke place since they're serving raw fish.*Staff are courteous and kind.Overall, I am so so happy that there is now a reliable and great spot for Poke and Hand Rolls in Highland Park. If you enjoy Poke or Hand Rolls, come pay this place a visit to see for yourself.Will definitely be a regular from now on.*Parking: Plaza lot. Decent to good.*Online Ordering: Yes. See their website.*Payment: Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay.*Interior: Clean, pleasant, and cute. Plentiful seating.*Bathrooms: Yes.”
“I thought the food was very tasty but after spending $55 on lunch and not being even remotely close to full was a bit of let down. And I'm not even a particularly large individual weighing in at 180lb. Don't know how people will be able to keep this place afloat spending that kind of money but leaving hungry.”
“Highly recommend. The prices are fully consistent with the quality, the recipes are excellent, the products are fresh and, what is important for me, you can watch the dishes being prepared. It's hard to imagine that such a clean and welcoming cafe could be located in a gas station, but it is! Try La Torta - it's amazingly delicious! I give this cafe the highest rating :)”
“This is an amazing taco place right in my neighborhood. Their two signature tacos... the steak and chicken... were phenomenal, tasty and a perfect price point. I've also tried the Birria, Al Pastor and the quesadilla. All were great! And the guac was legit. It's in their name, so it has to be good! I tried the house guac, they also have a spicy version which I'll try next time. Oh and the cold brew/horchata was very tasty! I will definitely be back!”
“We had a fabulous night. Food was amazing and service is top notch!”
