JULIET
“The food was delicious and the presentation was like art, the service was excellent, and the ambience of the place itself was beautiful. Visited with a group of friends so we were able to get different plates and try from each others, didn't get to photograph all of them but so good!”
“We had a pitstop here on a Friday night and had the best vibes ever! Food is asian fusion with amazing and interesting flavors, we went overboard with the potato wedges!ambience is perfect for evenings! Drinks are a must try!!”
“Good beer selection at a dog friendly brewery! They had a handful of TVs playing mostly sports. Mostly indoors but there is a small patio space. Right by an expo line stop so its super easy to get to!”
“Delicious food with beautiful presentations. A little on the pricey side, but with that said, they offer a high-quality product. Would like to see them move into a nicer building/area.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“What a fun night! Great service and yummy food. Definitely an old school charm. Recommended when you're in the mood for steak and a little Sinatra. The only dish that was a little disappointing, but not bad: the Caesar Salad. It is made tableside, but isn't anything special. The steaks were well cut and perfectly prepared. The truffle Mac was solid. Overall a great experience!”
“I ordered pasta and the dasher named Kev delivered trash and snacks to me. This has never happened to me before I’m not even comfortable using doordash anymore. I work too hard for my money for ppl to be playing games with me. I wish I could show the pics of the stuff. It’s two bags of Doritos, two snack packs or Oreos, frozen veggies and wings and an empty bottle of water. I’m pissed off but I’ll never use this app again for sure.”
“Vespertine defies categorization as a mere restaurant. While it does offer food, it encompasses a realm beyond traditional dining. Vespertine will challenge your preconceived notions of what a restaurant should entail, leaving you questioning everything you thought you knew.”

“After a tiring flight we went to Mayura for lunch and was impressed by the quality of food and hospitality of the owners. Food was very authentic, ambiance was great , and got a very homely feeling. We had their veg and non veg thali and chicken 65.”

“I come to LA from the east coast once or twice per year and I make my travel schedule around eating at Moto once per visit. The tan tan men ramen is absolutely the best ramen I have ever had. The broth is pure perfection... The side dishes are solid as well and the sushi is simple, but out of this world fresh and tasty. Sam is a great host. See you on my next trip Moto!!!”
“Very eclectic feel to the menu and man was it hard to pick! Judging on how amazing the meal was that I picked, I’m sure anything I would’ve got would’ve been just as fantastic. Would whole heartedly recommend and will absolutely be going back!”
“I finally made it to Culver City and tried Hey, Sunshine Kitchen for the first time. I had the avocado crunch bowl and it was delicious, the dressing was especially tasty, and it was reasonably priced too. I adore slaw and always have to try it so I got a side, but am generally suspicious of creamy slaws. This one was great, fresh as can be crunchy cabbage and not too much white stuff. They also have bbq tofu and vegan chckn and more but I was craving a bowl of pure veggies and was so glad they had this bowl. Gluten-free brownie was very rich, I have half saved for tomorrow. Apparently on Mondays they give away native plants to help pollinators, I took home a sea cliff buckwheat and planted it! The staff was super friendly, I hope to come back to try more!”
“One of the best pastries in the city! Very light & delicious. The owner is very nice too! I really like their princess cake & braided cinnamon roll. Must try!”
“AMAZING cookies! They were not kidding when they said they stand behind their craft. I've been on a cookie streak recently and have tried many different shops in the area with over 4.5+ in ratings. Most often than not, I left feeling disappointed. Cookies would either be stale, too hard, too brittle, too sweet, or pretty good but not worth $5-6. This is one cookie shop worth talking about. They carried all the exotic flavors, with the right texture and sweetness. I look forward to trying other flavors next time I visit. 1. Guava Cheese (9.5/10) - I love guava, and I love cheese but unfortunately for me, I can't do goat anything. Though there's only a hint of goat cheese, it's still there and you can taste it, if you are sensitive like me. Otherwise, it would've been a 10/10. Amazing texture and flavor. You will love this if goat cheese is your jam. 2. Matcha Strawberry Yuzu Mochi (9/10) - it's ALL there! A melange of different flavors that blend quite beautifully. Mochi is a little gritty (don't expect Japanese mochi texture here), but the cookie itself was so good and that touch of yuzu was exceptional. 3. Mango Sticky Rice (8.5/10) - Again, another unique flavor mix that was really nice. Sticky rice on top tends to get a little hard over time, but if you're a mango fan, this would be a flavor for you. They did not skimp on the ingredients and there's enough dried mango chunks for you to enjoy with every bite!”

“We found this place on Yelp when searching for a good brunch spot in the area. We ordered a few chef recommendations including the spicy southern fried chicken burger, peach salad (my friend), spaghetti and a few others. The burger is great and the bun is slightly crispy which is exactly I am looking for in a gourmet burger. The sauce is well balanced with a slight tanginess. I wish the side fried potatoes could be a little more though.I also ordered an Americano. Interestingly they served you a shot of espresso and let yourself add hot water to your like. Appreciate the touch.The place can get busy on a weekend. We only called 15 mins prior to our arrival without reservation, and were pleasantly surprised we had a seat once we checked in.”
“Quaint neighborhood staple with excellent food and service, atmosphere making you want to come back everyday. Highly recommend anyone who visits or lives in Culver City to come to this ”
“I am glad to see this New Romantic and hip restaurant take over this spot. It is beautiful and great for groups. Staff is kind and helpful. Parking options include self paid parking as well as valet. If you want free parking you will have to walk quite a bit. Prices and portions are as expected. Everything was delicious including the pesto and Tierra Donna pasta, branzino, mushroom and margarita (not a margarita fan since the sauce is normally whatever and there isn't enough cheese but this one is my fav since it has a good amount of cheese and the tomato sauce is robust) pizza but my favorites include the eggplant parm (my favorite one as it was delicious without being a messy heavy dish), tortellini, arancini, and their sundae/ice cream. A great spot if you are a vegetarian. We got salads as well including the Caesar but in the future I would skip them to make more room for the other items.”

“Great place for unique pizza at Gary's Woodfired Pizza in the food court. Unique pizza with Brooklyn soul and California ingredients. Music, outside seating, roof-top bar and dining, informal and fun. Ask for the 'white pizza' for something special.”
Outdoor Dining
“We sat on the patio with a few cocktails we ordered: From LA with Love (tall orange drink) and LA Adelita (Mocktail). They were fantastic!I especially like the ambiance of the bar. It is located in a trendy food stall in downtown Culver City with other ethnic food on the first floor and the bar and its patio on the second floor!”
“Good beer selection at a dog friendly brewery! They had a handful of TVs playing mostly sports. Mostly indoors but there is a small patio space. Right by an expo line stop so its super easy to get to!”
“This was an adorable place for pastries and lunch. There is free parking in the structure nearby, and paid street parking around. My partner and I split the Chilaquiles, which was phenomenal with fresh and crisp chips. The pastry we ordered was an apple danish of some sort, and that was delightful as well. You order in the front before self seating, and enjoying a laid-back time with yourself or your friends. The staff were super friendly. The prices were quite high, but understandable for the location and quality of food.”

“Needed a spot for a business lunch and this wasPERFECT! (Thank you fellow Yelpers!)There was a casual elegance, but so understated.They had nice music playing to set a pleasant tone, but it wasn't intrusive. Just a really nice vibe.Fabulous attentive service, too. Never rushed, but always aware. Perfect, actually.I've spent a lot of time in Milan and northern Italy, but wasn't too familiar with many of the dishes, as the menu focuses on southern Italian cuisine. Our waiter was wonderful and his suggestions were great. Turns out his mom is the chef.:-) Which explains why everything tasted so real and remarkably delicious!We started with the Zepelotti - Fried pizza dough balls stuffed with parma prosciutto, arugula, burrata and balsamic reduction. They were like little sandwiches with a delightful combination of flavors.So very good.The pasta was cooked perfectly, fresh and al dente.All hand made. Truly remarkable and authentically Italian.The wines were quite good, too. I had the Montepulciano and my friend had the Sangiovese.We both were quite pleased.Tutto era perfetto! Grazie!Parking: Plenty of street parking”
“Wow! We were so impressed with our food: N-Seoul bowl and pho! I’m not a fan of quinoa but the korean bulgogi marinated “meat” adds flavors and being complimented with many small healthy sides like kimchi with probiotics - yum! The pho was gigantic, I asked for couple of lime wedges and it was a bomb!!! One of the best vegan restaurants in the area around Venice! Cute interior and friendly staff, we live in San Francisco but definitely will come when in the area!Dietary restrictions: Vegan”
“Such a lovely and delicious place. I went with a group of girls on 01.25.23 and we just had the best time. Food was great, service was really lovely and quick. Can't wait to go back.”
“Every time I’m in Culver City, I have to stop by Jolly Oyster. It’s by far one of my favorite places. I don’t like normal oysters however the baked oysters here are to die for!”
“This Indian restaurant located in Culver City 90230. The couple running the restaurant are very nice. The prices and portions are on point. All dishes including the appetizers are delivered on an outside patio. No indoor tables except one table.”
“The food was delicious especially the guacamole and seasoned chips. We had the black kale salad, one with chicken and one with salmon as well as the hamachi...everything was delicious. The service was excellent.”
“I attend a family gathering, they served food from HomeState that was so delicious, I just had to write about it. A pre-order for 2 dozen tacos, tortilla chips and toppings was served. The tortillas were handmade and filled with a variety of protein, cheese and beans. Each was individually wrapped in foil and clearly labeled for your convenience. The food has a "Texas" flair to it, featuring brisket, pinto or black beans, diced potatoes, pickled red onions, Pico de Gallo, and vegetarian options too. I chose the "Don't Mess with Texas" soft taco. It was filed with Charro beans, bacon, potatoes and cheddar cheese. You can also buy a dozen flour tortillas as a side and save them for the next day! So worth the price ($8 a dozen). They are open 7 days a week, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Try them and you will want to go back for more. Don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya!”
“Food was good, even though we were not aware it was plant based until we started eating. We dont frequent plant based or vegan restaurants, so i dont know, but seemed very pricy for me. Family of three, burgers, fries and drinks was around $75. It was a nice experience even though we didnt realize it was a 100% plant based restaurant. Check that off the bucket list ?”
“The food was good although my salmon was very under in the middle. I couldn't tell the waitress because she never came to check on us. The bussing staff was lovely otherwise I'd give service a 1 star because of the waitress.”
“It was great the server was amazingParking: My mom had a lot of trouble finding parking around the store but Red chicks has there own parking space and it is huge”
“This place used to be the biz. I cannot deny that their food is jammin' but their service and overall attitude have a lot be desired. This was the spot after the world reopened and the outdoor seating made everyone feel a little more COVID safe. I think they started feeling themselves a little too much. After my wife and I had our first couple visits there, it was great. However, subsequent visits went from awful to the absolute worst. They failed to recognize our reservations a couple of times and when they got it wrong, they made us rush to order. I would get their food again but suggest getting it delivered to spare their nonsensical restaurant/business practices. If you want the pulpo, get it there and not for delivery. And for some reason, when you get the saltado delivered, you don't get the egg. I'm assuming it's due to possible foodbourne illness issues. Five stars for food, one star for service/attitude.”

“My son took me to this place while I was visiting LA, and I absolutely loved the ambience, the food quality and the friendly staff. Dishes served were freshly made and the taste was authentic. I highly recommend this place to everyone, its an experience.”
“Good for dinner, drinks, and/or dessert.Tasty and rich coffee with chocolate and hazelnutChocolate tarte combines a perfect balance of bittersweet cocoa and buttery crust.While the crème brûlée has a creamy custard and caramelized sugar topping.”
“Food was ridiculously good. The special for the night was brisket grilled cheese on rye….so big I ended up taking half home. Our server Mason was a delight as well…we willDefinitely be back!”
“I had lunch today for the first time. Veg samosas, sag paneer, channa masala, rice and potato stuffed naan. All of it was so fresh and very delicious! Large portions so I had plenty to take home. It was also very clean and quiet with attentive service. I'll be back.”
“I was craving Ackee and saltfish today and found this place online… I’m so glad I did… food was amazing, fresh and generous portions…and great/friendly service! I had the Ackee/saltfish with dumplings and the pineapple ginger and everything was really good! Can’t wait to go back!”
“I came here randomly and the food is delicious but what sold me was the customer service ! GABRIEL MADE SURE EVERY CUSTOMER WAS TAKEN CARE OF it was amazing to the point I made an account just to review ! Will be back ! The entire staff was lovely and again , BURRITO WAS ”
“We loved the food a lot. Jain food was very good. Staff was not that polite, however food made us very happy. If you stay in LA and visit Santa Monica beach and looking for India vegetarian restaurant around, this restaurant will come to rescue. Just mind the timing as its open till 9:30 pm.Dietary restrictions: They have separate Jain menu. We tried Jain Paneer makhani, Paneer paratha, Dal tadka and Jeera rice. Every dish was amazing. Must a visit.”
“Joshua was friendly,and helpful explaining all the different beers and IPA 's. The burger was amazing,nice crunchy onion rings... definitely a good place for a tasty burger!”
“WOW WOW WOW!!!!! I just happened to be driving by and decided to stop. And boy I'm so glad we did!!!! The food was just so good. We ordered the Baja shrimp and fish burrito and shrimp quesadilla. The sauces were amazing. The quality of seafood was fresh and delicious. The customer service was also very good. Super clean spot! Nice vibe with great music!!!!!!!!! Will for sure be coming back.”
“A few friends and I went here to learn how to make macarons. Side note, Mani's (the chef instructor) macarons were the best I've ever tasted!! Mani was very nice, patient, understanding and accommodating. The whole experience was well organized and we got to take home so many macarons! Our friends and I can't wait to come back and learn more! Thank you, Mani!”
“It is a great place! Enrique is a great server and portions are great. Mimosas are great but Enrique was so helpful and really helped with everything. It was an amazing experience and the price was amazing 10/10! Love it here!”
“No cucumber on my gyro? Just pita and meat is how it felt to meet - too light on the veggies like tomatoes and disappointed in there not being any cucumbers- no olives either. Idk I wasn’t impressed for $16.50 gyro”
“I went to Margot's for a dinner my job was sponsoring and it was really nice. From the little shops on the street level to the atmosphere of the actual restaurant. I would describe the design style as maybe organic boho. It was really cute! The bathrooms were really nice too. Unisex though. They reserved the private patio for us and it was nice and secluded. Someone that was at the diner said they were there for a birthday dinner just the weekend before and it was in the main dining room but it was noisy and people kept walking through their party to get to the bathroom. So if you want to go here and want a private, quiet experience then reserve the private patio. If you want to meet other people or don't mind the noise of other people and the kitchen then the main dining room is fine. The food looked and tasted gourmet. I loved the presentation.Kid-friendliness: I would not call this a kid friendly place maybe more during the day. I was there in the evening with adults drinking.Wheelchair accessibility: From the valet parking there is a ramp up to the elevator. So it is nicely wheelchair accessible.”
“Loved everything about this place. The bldg is gorgeous. The food is amazing (just wish there were a few more choices on the entree section). Heads up... it's loud, especially the live band. But it was worth it overall. Not the best spot for larger parties. Great to meet up with friends and share a great meal!! And try the Airmail! Btw... patio was adorable. Too cold in Feb to sit outside but we will be back I'm sure!”
“I been looking for some vegetarian pizza finally found it omg,so full of flavor.i also got the stuff avacado with Jack fruit topping.It was BOMB this is a must ”

“#CulvercityDennys is the best go to breakfast spot ? Big “ZID” is 5 ⭐️ server! He lets you know he is there to make sure your dining experience is important to him. The food was fresh, served quickly, & coffee is made right! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s from #agreatfullstore”
“I ordered the double smashed out with grilled onions. The burger itself was so flavorful the meat was juicy and not dry! The smashed out sauce was really good, maybe better than in n out. The size was really big, it kept me full from my lunch until the end of the day. They also offer lettuce wrapped which is a plus!!”
“They treat people here with dignity. ALL PEOPLE. ALL EMPLOYEES. Thank you for your example of humanity.Parking: Front and back parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: Good atmosphere. Lively and pleasant music.Wheelchair accessibility: Designated ramp clearly marked out”
“I know we’re talking about Del taco I don’t need to be reminded so if anybody wants to comment on that keep it to yourself. But when you think about fast food anti-Taco Bell, or whatever the hell, this particular, Del taco is amazing I’m not a big lover of meat, I just started eating meat but I definitely love their chicken burritos but I eat their eight layer burrito that’s what I normally get. It’s vegetarian with every single thing you possibly want but it comes with beans so you get protein! which is insane and it’s so big and good and delicious and I never get sick, the service is amazing everyone is so nice and friendly. I’ve never been during early day. I go evenings so later in the evening good night FYI. I just like to go there. The fries are hot. The soda is crisp and has enough carbonation which is very important to me because Im not a fan of a flat soda but like I said. The people there are amazing because they communicate you can explain exactly how you want your food made and you get it that way so if you want extra sauce they put extra sauce or whatever it is, I’m just saying they make it extra big and delicious and never get sick. Apparently me being sick by food is a huge issue so when I find someplace that is a fast food place that doesn’t make me sick and that they’re nice and I don’t worry about my food being contaminated. I’m definitely gonna write a review! Again the people that work there are awesome, and if they were really nice, it would make me not want to eat there also because I wouldn’t trust them. Trust is a big issue with me. Also, the sour cream is fresh. Lettuce, crisp, and fresh. Tortillas always hot. I don’t get cool tortillas and I have salsa in my bag without asking and napkin. Whatever you wanna call it which is a big deal because! I’ve been another Del tacos and apparently some people don’t think you need napkins but not this one. They are amazing, this is my favorite Del taco. They are on Venice Boulevard in Culver City.A public service announcement regarding shrimp tacos. I don’t do well with fast food specially seafood, but this word I do not use very often, which is, Awesome very important when they have shrimp tacos I eat there like three times a week. I don’t know when they’re going to have them at a certain time of year. But the fish tacos are amazing anyways but and I’m talking fast food and I’m saying amazing fish taco blow your mind, i’m sorry I guess it just blows my mind but I’m even talking about fast food fish tacos right!? But this being said, the shrimp tacos are insane, maybe it’s just me but apparently it can’t be because people can’t wait till they keep coming out. I wish it was on the menu all the time please please I’m begging you if anybody that sees this and you’re able to make that happen make it happen Shrimp Tacos are crazy good I mean great I gave you four of them and 83 panels and I need to gain weight so I appreciate it if you could bring that back on the menu. Thank you. Also, another thing I’d like to say about Del taco is they have not changed their ingredients their cheese taste like the cheese used to the beans taste the same the rice taste the same. Please don’t change anything. I’m scared I’m a jinx it because everybody changes something I think they’re saving money they’re really not. They’re losing money because people like us don’t wanna eat there if there’s people like me, I don’t know, but if you have a good product stick to it, I’d rather pay more than downgrade and changes the flavor of something that’s been consistent. I gave five stars on on view, which is kind of funny because that’s not what’s important. Obviously it’s on the corner or the freeway in Venice Boulevard but food so they get five stars on everything coming back to the service. It wouldn’t matter if the food if the people that make it didn’t put it together to where it is delicious. OK this is a long enough review. If you read this whole thing apparently lol but it’s the truth?Vegetarian options: Yes, they have a lot of vegetarian options because you could get anything you”
“The worker made my food ? ? look really good. The owner, even though he did not state he was the owner was very pleasant. Even offered us complimentary cookies ? ?”
“They take CalFresh EBTUpdate: Feb 26 2024The female manager has always been a favorite of mine many many years ago now. Very kind, friendly and helpful but she runs her restaurant responsibly. She is fair but no pushover lolShe had been out for a while I noticed and not until her recent return, I noticed the difference in the quality of the location's service, cleanliness and atmosphere overall was lacking while she was not in command. She's back now. Gotta remember to be on my P's and Q's ”
“The new Ramen is the best I've tasted in a long time. Ingredients are fresh, only found a bit of fat in one bowl.Even better than some of the homemade I've tried.Del taco taco has improved as well. I stopped going for 8 mos because ordering thru the app never worked and the tacos were being thrown together, to the point I would throw away rather than eat.Much improved.”

Takeout Restaurants
“A+ pastries (croissants, chocolate croissants, chouquettes).Serviceable baguette, but tight inside (mie serrée) and not very crusty.Hours unclear and changing (others said in these reviews that it wasn't open Sundays, but today Sunday it is), and won't pick up the phone to confirm.”
“I love going to Luna for Lunch and/or Dinner, in particular , the Culver City location. It’s my go to place. The food is always amazing and the portion is huge that I always have left over for the following day. My favorite is the Mediterranean Salad.. The dressing is amazing. I add garlic kabob chicken and I have enough for my lunch the following day .In addition, they have a great staff. Aidan and Rodney are always so welcoming and friendly. They always want make sure that customers leave regardless Dine in or Takeout fully satisfied.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of choices regarding individual dietary restrictions.Kid-friendliness: There are kids option meal for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space to dine in and outdoor.”

“Second time here, so here's the breakdown:*Avocado Tartine - 4.5/5 -good bread, but was a little soggy -need a better knife to cut *Breakfast burrito - 4.5/5-a little too panini pressed for me -solid texture mix and balance of all ingredients - I got the pork sausage. Drinks:*Latte - 5/5 *Chai - 2/5 -asked for whole milk...the whole drink was whole milk with a dash of cinnamon -also forgot to add my espresso shot Bonus: *Red Beards Jalapeño sauce is so clutch! Great add on to the burrito and avocado toast.”
“The coffee it's delicious and I found many cute things, like cards, funny stickers and an incredibly book that I just started to read while enjoying my tea and obviously take it home back to Mexico ! For sure I'm coming back.”
“The Pastrami burrito was a hearty, but not a cheap breakfast. Loaded with big salty chunks of meat, crispy hash, eggs, and kicked it up a notch with some sliced jalapenos. Careful with the salsa, the green one is mild and smokey, the red one is fire.”
“Monroe Place gets crowded with online orders for good reason, their sandwiches are to die for. Yet, they never forget to take good care of in person orders (usually get food within 5 minutes). Definitely recommend coming in store and trying their sandwiches and meeting the amazing people who make them! Seriously unique sandwich recipes made in heaven!”
“They belong in the cloud kitchen in Culver City. This is convenient for pick up. Cloud kitchen is a concept where there are multiple kitchens located in the same location. Food can be ordered prior to arrival to cut the wait time. They will call you when food is ready.I ordered:1. Grilled chicken - chicken is very moist and flavorful!2. Crispy chicken krapow with sunny up side egg - moist chicken3. Mango tropioca”
“Went here yesterday for the Oscar’s party and it was such a hoot! I LOVED the puppies they had in front and that they care for rescue dogs, the food was incredible, the Bingo was fun and watching the Oscars on the big screens felt awesome as well! Definitely recommend coming here for events (eg I look forward to watching the World Cup here eventually) but would also come again for their nachos alone lol! Also the heaters were great once the sun went down!”
“Best coffee in Culver City!Friendly people, good vibe, good prices. Coffee and pastry are delicious!Our regular place to go. Highly recommend you to try their everything croissant with the cream cheese inside.”
“This was really, really good and very reasonably priced. Beware that a small is 2.5 scoops and just 1 flavor! They do have a 4 scoop sampler though. There were 6 of us and one of us got the sampler because he couldn't decide what to get. I had the taro single on a cake cone. It was delicious! We were all so excited to eat our ice cream that we forgot to take pictures. Sorry. Next time!”
“The whole restaurant vibe was amazing. I went on a very crowded Saturday, but still managed to get seated in under 15 minutes. Great service. Great Food. They have a variety of options depending on your taste buds. The food is also very affordable for the quality. I will most definitely be returning for brunch!”
“I definitely recommend. This place makes me happy every time I receive my order. I usually have it delivered and it's perfect every-time. The food tastes amazing. When you go into the store it's even better because the staff is polite and welcoming and accommodating.”
“If you're not here, then you're missing out! Had the burrito and the crispy tacos...and...man o man! Super delicious!!! I would have taken pictures, but the food was gone before I could post anything. The tacos were deliciously crispy, while the meat was marinated to perfection. The garnishes on the side, cucumbers, and radishes, were the perfect addition to my meal. Ordered three of these bad boys with a side of Mexican Coke. Pure cane sugar is so much better than High fructose corn syrup. My wife had the burrito. It was juicy, had all the right seasoning, and fell apart like any delicious burrito should.. Also, I said delicious a ton of times. Because it is! It's delicious!!!”
“My son took me to this place while I was visiting LA, and I absolutely loved the ambience, the food quality and the friendly staff. Dishes served were freshly made and the taste was authentic. I highly recommend this place to everyone, its an experience.”

“This is the best pizza in Los Angeles. The 30 hour fermented dough makes the crust perfect. The selection of toppings is great. The names of the pizzas provide inspiration for an excellent playlist to listen to on your drive to pick them up. Plus Chef Brandon is just so cool. Park in front of Bar & Garden, go in and grab a bottle of wine, pick up your pizza you already ordered on the easy to use website, and eat the best pizza you’ve had. Don’t forget to try the sauce, ranch, and any side dish he has going on that day too.”
“There’s a dedicated Food and drink dispatcher that makes things so much easier and organized. It’s my first time here but it seemed that everyone that came in was greeted by first name and judging by the entire teams energy I’m not surprised that people come back. I will definitely be coming back.”
“Easily the best service I’ve received at any fast food restaurant. S/o to the manager because I saw him treat every guess like it was a family neighborhood restaurant. Place was clean and well managed. Best BK I’ve ever been too.”
“The spicy chicken dish was great (island fire), so was the rice. Their mac salad was bland. Had a side of shrimp, too much batter for my tastes but quite the crunch/presentation of perfect circles.”
“I placed an online order and the order and condiment was correct. I was impressed how that server paid attention to details. I am SUPER THANKFUL! And the beyond chicken was tasty.”
“Consistent. I've tried other nearby and closer El Pollo Loco's and have concluded that this location is the best of the bunch. Typically order food online and pick it up within 5 - 10 minutes. Seldom is the order inaccurate. I've been to this location easily over 100+ times. Not a lot of turnover at this location with staff. Most staff seem like they've been there for years and always have my order ready with a smile and know my name.? ?Parking: I've never had a problem finding parking at this location. Although you see people eating inside the restaurant, most people appear to get food to go.”
“After I got home this evening I noticed my two large beans opened and got all over the bag and chicken. I made a call and spoke to manager Fabiola. She so kindly told me to return and she's would make it right and apologized for the inconvenience. I went back and she replaced the entire order from tortillas, salsa; Mac and cheese. More than I expected so grateful for the professional service I have received. Good job, pollo loco for hiring someone with true empathy for others! I'll be back especially when I was treated like this!”
“A cool, cozy cafe with comfortable Parking. I don't know what it looks like on a normal day, but Saturday is very comfortable. There is not much space inside, but everything is cozy. The food is delicious. Convenient location. I recommend a visit for those who prefer Mexican cuisine.Parking: All comfortable with parking”
“We love their food, it's very tasty and seems quite fresh. We normally do a takeaway from here, and it's convenient for its parking spaces outside.We've rarely seen anyone eating in the restaurant, it has more of a fast food vibes than a sit in restaurant.The staff there is very often a little unfriendly though, a smile goes a very long way guys with your customers. I promise.”
“This is my first time at this location and I must say , the service was outstanding . It was not busy, the food is hot and fresh . Jenny was an amazing. She went above and beyond to help me . She offered to make me fresh cream cheese wontons . I will definitely be back . Management has done a great job hiring someone so pleasant and helpful. Thank you Jenny for the exceptional service this evening .”
“The hours don't match the mobile app which says 24 hours. I placed an order, but the dining room was closed and the drive-thru full and extremely slow. I couldn't get the order which should have been quick so I'll have to complain to the corporate office to get the charge reversed, or have my credit card issuer do it.May 29, 2019: I never received a response from Wendy's, so I deleted the app and had Capital One reverse the charge.March 17, 2022: the app works well now (most of the time) and the service has improved.December 13, 2023: I appreciate the efforts of the staff to provide service on Dec 10 when their ordering and register systems were out of order. The manager honored a promo from the app that disappeared when the system went down and my mobile order was cancelled.”
“Food was ridiculously good. The special for the night was brisket grilled cheese on rye….so big I ended up taking half home. Our server Mason was a delight as well…we willDefinitely be back!”

“This place was so awesome. It's like a small town Saloon in a big city that doesn't care if someone not the norm walks in. It's a beautiful experience. This place just haven't tried the food ”
“This is my first time at the Cozy inn everyones so drink friendly ? took a nap in the parking lot no one harassed me.. so drunk ? ? the shots are crazy great price.Parking: Parking lot kinda small. Great free street parking”
“I pickup mainly on Door Dash but this place is so good. $20 (delivered) gets me a LARGE Mexican coke and the carne plate with sides, tortillas and chips/salsa. And it’s always great quality!”
“Really good spot, awesome location, and the service is top-notch. The food and drinks are great too. Plus, it's super close to my dentist at Culver City Premium Dental Care. Definitely recommend checking it out.”
“My favorite type of no b.s. diner. No gimmicks, no show. Great food and cash only. The best places on earth are cash only. I get to sit there and roll my eyes as all the douchebags who start to fumble around when they realize they don’t have cash to pay for their food, pure entertainment.”
“Highly recommend the sourdough french baguette. It has a crispy shell and great nutty flavor. The eggs benedict prosciutto had good textures and the salad was fresh. The staff were efficient. The fruit tarts were pretty and tasted alright.”
“On another level. Not your average cookie. I’ve yet to taste one I didn’t love. The brown butter flavor on the raspberry one….OMG more brown butter in more cookies please!”
“Super dark when we first walked in to this place. Lots of candles. Once my ayes adjusted it was very cool place. The music and ambiance were excellent. The food was also very good. We liked the Mac n cheese, steak fries and the huge chicken sandwich. It was clean and service quick. Nice place !”
“Grand Casino’s take-out bakery’s pastries and empanadas are always so totally delicious. Their front patio is the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee and treat in the mornings. Been coming here for a few years and the quality of their food and service has always been excellent. Also- they play lovely music. :)”
“Solidly four stars. Wish the hours were a bit better since it's next to the metro, but given that it's in the midst of several office buildings totally understand. I always get the habibi latte although it's not as strongly flavored as I wish it would be! Easily accessed by expo line, or can park in ivy lot.”
“If it's edible + imported to the US from Italy, then Sorrento probably has it. I made a beeline to the market for a weekend dessert, and was smitten with this Espresso custard.”
“Lovely local coffee shop. The staff is always so friendly and pleasant and the coffee is high quality. I recommend stopping by and enjoying coffee at one of their outside tables if you are in the area. Vanilla bourbon latte was delicious.”
“Easily some of the best ice cream that I have ever had. Salt & Straw is originally from Portland but was my go-to ice cream spot in San Diego before relocating to LA in Jan 2020. They have locations all over the state but are usually in newer malls and the nicer parts of town. This location is also new and designed well. It’s large on the inside so it can accommodate at least a dozen people in line, if not more. It’s part of The Culver Steps in Culver City where Erewhon is located. They have a giant multiple story parking garage beneath the ground floor so parking is super easy and plentiful. Service is also very fast, most people know what they want here, but occasionally you will have to deal with groups asking for many samples before deciding (prob the same ppl that stair at never changing fast food menus taking forever to decide).I am sad that they stopped offering the ice cream salt on top, because it really added to the flavor and was unique. I still am a fan though because the ice cream is just that good. It’s extra creamy so may not sit well in some people’s stomachs especially if you have a sensitive one, but the flavors will be hard to beat. I stopped in specifically to try their limited edition cereal flavors this weekend and had to couple that with my fav flavor The Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons.Overall some of the best ice cream that I have ever had and all of their locations are consistently good. I feel any ice cream fan that has tried S&S is crazy and is really missing out!Parking: 2 level underground parking structureKid-friendliness: kids love this place”
“The staff is super friendly and talk to you like a friend. The food is definitely GREAT and affordable and I love that the portions are pretty big ?? Definitely coming back!”
“This is a Los Angeles virtual landmark, been around forever and is noted for its unique take on Mexican food. This is not the Mexican food you would get in a restaurant this is Tito's spin on it and it's utterly fantastic. If you never eaten here you owe yourself at least one visit to understand why everybody comes here everyday. You can probably say this restaurant's name to anybody who lives in Los Angeles and they'll tell you how to get there. Try the meat and cheese burrito, cheese tacos, and they've got the best salsa which you get tons of along with chips. This is not gourmet Mexican food and the environment is very informal. But you will find this type of food nowhere else, period!”

“I'm visiting from the High Desert today and my daughter lives around the corner. This had to be the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. Hands down fantastic. Fresh, beautifully cooked and delicious. There aren't enough words to describe how amazing it is. If you're looking for authentic flavors, please don't hesitate.”

“Very cool and delicious taco spot, with a low key (get it?) vibe. They’ve expanded their menu in the past year, so now they have even more good options other than their killer chicken and beef tacos. They have bowls that are of similar quantity as a Chipotle bowl, but much higher quality. This is a great lunch stop when coming to Platform at Culver.Vegetarian options: Mushroom taco, quesadilla, and chips + guac are great vegetarian options.”

“It's like stepping back into the 70's or 80's walking into this place with the colorful laminate booths and colorful special menu postings on the walls. It's also worth mentioning how spotless it is and how friendly the staff are. As for the food, I had the breakfast burrito, which was the size of a newborn, and had the right ratio of potato egg and bacon for each bite.”
“On paper, this isn’t a location that my wife and I would seek out - but we heard nothing but good things about the food and staff. We had some family in town and twisted their arm to join us and give this place a try. WOW! Awesome experience in every way. Parking was easy and plenty on the side of the restaurant. The staff was friendly and sat us right away. The drinks came quick - as did our appetizers. We got a mix of patas and pizzas, packed with flavor and generous portions for each. I was told that I need to sing the praises of the gnocchi sauce specially. All in all, come check this place out! Truly a diamond in the “rough”.”

“It is a great place! Enrique is a great server and portions are great. Mimosas are great but Enrique was so helpful and really helped with everything. It was an amazing experience and the price was amazing 10/10! Love it here!”
“Loved everything about this place. The bldg is gorgeous. The food is amazing (just wish there were a few more choices on the entree section). Heads up... it's loud, especially the live band. But it was worth it overall. Not the best spot for larger parties. Great to meet up with friends and share a great meal!! And try the Airmail! Btw... patio was adorable. Too cold in Feb to sit outside but we will be back I'm sure!”
“got: sichuan dry noodle so excited to finally try these and they're so good i loved the texture of the noodles but they were TOO spicy for me and i also didn't like having sm celery in it so i'd recommend getting it with no celery”
“I come to LA from the east coast once or twice per year and I make my travel schedule around eating at Moto once per visit. The tan tan men ramen is absolutely the best ramen I have ever had. The broth is pure perfection... The side dishes are solid as well and the sushi is simple, but out of this world fresh and tasty. Sam is a great host. See you on my next trip Moto!!!”

“I called BJ at 7:45 am, BJ opens later. Felix answered the phone and was so patient with me. I asked a couple of questions and he was kind enough to answer them. I am definitely calling and going to the location on fox hills mall. This experience has encouraged me to call and I’m confident they will answer even at 7:45 am.”

“Had a blast! The day before St Patty's day so the vibes were high - live authentic Irish band, everyone in their green attire ? I truly enjoyed myself! Service was great... The waitress with the beautiful red curly hair... she wasn't actually the waitress for my table but was still ever so helpful and kept checking on us- Thank you!! The food was delicious - I ordered the lamb stew and to drink I had something that tasted amazing and paired really well with the stew but can't quite remember the name of it.... All in all I had a great time!”

“In Culver City searching for a latte & randomly opted for Ugo , not knowing anything about the restaurant. I was astonished! Their latte was super deep, rich & creamy in a ceramic cup ! Their pizza had the best crust ever , Napoleon style . The waiter Marian, told me they have teachers from Italy come to the restaurant to review the authenticity of their food to meet genuine Italian standards! So impressed w the Parmesan cheese too ! I'll be back to try more dishes.”

He was very attentive and even went to his car to get birthday candles for my friend (to put on her dessert). Great experience overall!”
