Restaurants in Downey

“As always such a treat to get food from here. Savories, sweets sandwiches all so good. To see them spread out and having to choose is so difficult. Cubano was sour and the Spicy Chicken Milanese was great but not so spicy. Ropa Veja was also tasty. . The bread on all these… perfect. Mango shake was better than the Passion Guava. It gets very crowded at lunch time. You cannot order sandwiches online. The drinks they make when you pick them up.”

“A Must-Visit for Authentic Afghan Cuisine
The Afghan Kabob House is an absolute gem! The owners truly care about their customers and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.
The food is simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We especially loved the lamb kabobs, bolani, mantu. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu – it's all a must-try!
Pro tip: Go with a group so you can sample a variety of dishes and share the deliciousness.
The service is top-notch, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. I can't wait to return for another fantastic meal. Highly recommend!”

“Great ambiance and amazing food. I had a lot of food… falafel, spicy hummus, kafta kabob, tzatziki loaded with veggies, cheese balls, and baklava. All so delicious and fresh. I even loved the fresh pita and dipping sauce that was complimentary. From the manager and many servers, everyone was pleasant and friendly throughout my time there. I went during happy hour so the specials were great during that time. I’m definitely returning to this Mediterranean restaurant for sure. I loved it.”

“The service was great and food was serve quick and delicious Sebastian gave us great service thank you!”

“Yummy yummy food!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻”

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

“Very good service and the food was delicious”

“We ordered catering through Uncle Henry's and Tina and her family were amazing! Super responsive, on-time delivery, and delicious sandwiches. We will definitely be ordering from them next time we are in Downey!”

“Highly recommend. Service and food are both great!”

“My tummy is so full and happy. The staff was so very friendly (cashier). Definitely coming back!”

“High quality well priced fast food. It is a small location. The chairs are bolted down, it is a bit hard to maneuver when crowded. There were no napkins or forks out, and the ketchup ran out, but the staff were helpful and nice. Would probably get it in the drive through next time.

Vegetarian options: Beyond burger.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible tables, but chairs are bolted down and not enough space for a wheelchair to fit into some parts of the dining room areas”

“Friendly customer service”

“La direcció n para llegar”

“Food is always delicious, but there's two ladies that work here that are always rude. The older lady that sits you down always has a serious face and looks bothered by large groups. Then, there's a young lady that usually charges you and also has a bothered looking face; the same young lady that for being in a bad mood charged us the wrong table one time and had to get her manager to process a refund of almost $100. It was only then her attitude changed. As for the other workers, they are always super friendly and welcoming!”

“The food here is consistently delicious. I've enjoyed both breakfast and lunch meals here and have yet to be disappointed. The pricing fair too. The location is not that appealing but is clean.”

“muuuuy rico todo .. ......”

“If you want to try vegan this is the place you ought to go!”

“The Food Is Sooo Good..I like the Rio Double Cheese Burger, The Stewart Fries, the wings, the Chili Cheese Fries, you just can't lose with this place & they're nice people & good with suggestions...So Bomb🔥 everything made Fresh”

“Great drinks, food and service. Angel was our waiter and provided us with top notch service and recommendations. The shrimp and cheese empanadas were delicious…”

“This is my go to spot for Greek food! The food is always so delicious and the servers are friendly and welcoming. The sweet potato pita, beet salad, and baklava froyo are a must try :)

Vegetarian options: Menu offers detailed description of each item on the menu.”

“Our food was exceptionally delicious! Wonderful flavors and delicious cucumber mint agua fresca too! Also fun, cozy atmosphere inside too. You can tell when you’re there it’s a very popular eatery, and for good reason! I’ve been there twice in as many weeks and I can’t wait to go again! 😁”

“The customer service was outstanding. They took the time to answer all my questions I had on the flavors. Although they don’t offer samples they do offer to change your flavor if you don’t like it.”

“It was very good and staff was very friendly! Will be going back for sure”

“Friendly staff, They have Birria egg rolls… yep that’s right and can I just say.. DELICIOUS!!! Their consume is so good my husband drinks it straight from the container!”

“Muy buena bienvenida de Liz. Excelente atención, y la comida es buena. 100% recomendado❤️”

“Super cool and has a mini museum Be sure to get the deep fried apple pie!!”

“Exelente lugar muy Rica la comida y los postres chocolate caliente y sus cafés lo recomiendo.”

“My husband and I went there tonight, for Valentine's Day. We had the Steak/Salmon special. This ribeye was the BEST steak I've had in my life. So tender and so tasty!!! The salmon was wonderful, so delicious! I totally recommend their food. Yes, their prices are high, but you're getting the best food possible. And, really, on a special occasion, it's worth it to enjoy delicious food and great service!! Thank you, Verdugos, for a great Valentine's dinner!! We pray you are the most successful restaurant in Downey!”

“In celebration of My Lady birthday. The service was beyond expectation. The servers were kind, joyful, attentive and respectful. The food was brought to the table fresh, hot, and to the person who ordered it. The price was well in reach. We Gad an grantastic time.”

“The atmosphere was astonishing I was mesmerized as I tried to catch ever beautifully decorated chandelier and pieces of art Mosaic, especially the ginormous faux melting candle. Just as you catch from the side of your eyes it a cart wheeling private bar tender inquiring on if you would like a margarita! We ordered a $75.00 plate of filet mignon, shrimp, and scallops; I was disappointed for that price they give one shrimp a d two scallops? Steak was the bomb dot com though.”

“Un excelente lugar para desayunar y cenar se los recomiendo tengo mas de 20 años visitándolo.”

“Love the food 🥘 very friendly environment and comfortable to have breakfast see you soon.”

“I recently had the pleasure of being served by Arianna and I must say, she made our dining experience truly exceptional! From the moment we sat down, her warm smile and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome.

Arianna was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in on us at just the right times. Highly recommend asking for her !”

“The drinks are amazing🙌. This spot is so kick back.”

“I've tried many thai food places and I can say that this is one of the best ones. Both the food and service are excellent. The only downside is that the restroom is outside.”

“Delicious chicken nachos, flautas, and chilequiles burritos!”

“I got very very sick! Idk what was in the food or or it was my own digestive system that was as the enemy but I had bad stomach sickness :( although the food was tasty. Maybe you’ll have a different experience.”

“Great people, great food! won't be disappointed 🍻”

“Another good meal at BJ's. Service today was reasonably fast and the food was great. I had the Jambalaya and my wife had the Spicy Peanut Chicken with Soba Noodles.

Both dishes were great.

Highly recommend the Chips & Guacamole Salsa appetizer.

As the trend continues, prices are noticeably higher. Expect to easily spend $75 for two. We would eat here more if it wasn't so expensive.”

“La Mejor Machaca en CALIFORNIA Servicio rapido LES RECOMIENDO EL CAFE DE HOYA Servicio de las meseras es exellente (un poquito mulillas las jovencitas Que traen la Comida )”

“Food was bomb and the customer service was great. i have never been there before and the staff was helpful. This place is about 1 mile from work and was craving a poke bowl. This was the closest place. I will definately be back again.”

“I have to say for the time frame open until 4am YES, the toppings, the freshness and especially decent sauce. Being from the Jersey/York border line the time frame is amazing and even toppings and great seasonings I'm in love! Amazing place especially if you work overnight or just slept in. I am definitely ordering again. Genius!”

“I love coming to this Starbucks, everyone is always so friendly no matter how complicated my drink is! Not only are they friendly but they always get my drink correct and hand it out in a timely manner.Shout out to Tamara who always greets with a smile :)”

“I would like to recommend Veronica as the waitress of the day. She is an excellent waitress, very nice & thoughtful. My friend & I have gone the last 2 Wednesdays for lunch & she waited on us both times. Also the food was good too.”

“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. It does not look like much at first, I was skeptical, but boy was I surprised and impressed by this small business owner and her crew. The food was absolutely amazing, service was solid. I love being blown away by small business owners like her who take pride in every detail. Food was delicious.”

“Phenomenal Service!!!!!!!!”

“I was never more impressed by a food service employee than I was tonight. Two of your employees covering the drive thru window were helpful, clear speaking, polite and made me want to come back again to this location! Great work employees and Thank you Jack in the Box.”

“Right now I live in the city of Winnetka in the valley of San Fernando. And by far there's McDonald's, the greatest I've ever been to. It's heaven as soon as I walked in there. I was told having trouble need help with the screen. I'll give you a hand. By a wonderful lady and work there. I told her no I can handle myself order my phone. My nuggets were bomb Taste fully awesome. And I also got my favorite sauce with yummy. Warm Tasty, large fries And I felt like the twelve-year-old who lived near Downey. The service they gave me was better than what I get at the McDonald's close to my house and if I'm around the area I'm glad I take a screenshot on the address. Cause believe me, I'll be visiting that McDonald's. One more time”

“Brought my obese and autistic cousin here and they treated him with so much respect and love even tho he wouldnt stop banging his head on the walls and screaming and spitting food out everywhere , would recommend this place”

“Bye far the best cakes and food not only because the owner is a dear friend of mine they are bomb. I always have been ordering with him for years that's how we became good friends he's the best and not only that the PRICES are affordable not to expensive like other or home-based... I used to live local he opened up the place when I move to lancaster and I will continue to order from him even if it's 2 hr drive... thank you oscar”

“Such a gem find! As Arnold said, "I'll be back".

PARKING/LOCATION - Located in a strip mall with other establishments, I think the parking lot could get full if a weekend meal rush. I came in during a weekday lunch. Their sign is so subtle and non-conspicuous, you could almost miss it.

AMBIANCE - Low-key, nothing flashy, British decor. Just a simple place that serves one purpose - FISH & CHIPS.

SERVICE - The gentleman who took my order was very nice. Because it wasn't busy, they fried up my food fresh, so he did let me know it may take up to 10 minutes. No biggie. I can imagine that they have a few ready when it's rush-hours.

FOOD - Again, SO GOOD! Their fish pieces are ginormous and 2 pieces with chips was way more than enough to fill me up. Price is high, but what isn't? It's worth it, in my opinion. I took it to go to take back to the office. They thoughtfully poked holes in the paper bag to let steam escape and prevent some sogginess. Fish was light, crispy, not overly greasy. Their tartar sauce was the perfect pairing tot he chips. Fries/chips were good too.”

“SUER DELICIOSOS POSTRES , ATENCION EXCELENTE Y EL LUGAR ES INCREIBLE. LA DECORACION ES MAGICA.”

“Best pizza around love this place and so will you if you have not tried DPC your missing out so what are you waiting for get off your A$$ and go get you some.”

“Super deli place for those sinful cravings but they are worth it ?. Delicious tejuino, a very Mexican flavor. Bionics are the basic ones, without a doubt very rich. The very tasty skis as well as its fresh waters (Aguas locas) and snows. Everything was undoubtedly very tasty and the service was excellent!!”

“Very good food and service”

“I am really glad I found this place. It's a great teriyaki bowl restaurant that serves up better than your average meal. First, they use a great teriyaki sauce. Not the typical sugar loaded sweet teriyaki but a delicious, savory sauce with a little smokiness to it that really is just great on any of their plates. The chicken and the beef is always perfectly cooked, never dry, and never tough. Very enjoyable eating. It's actually the only teriyaki bowl restaurant I visit now even though it's not that close to home. It's definitely worth the drive.
I definitely recommend anyone stop by and give it a try! Cheers!”

“I'm not a fan of coffee. But their salted caramel latte might convert me! The candy apple is also incredible!! 14 dollars for the apple is still crazy imo, but it's worth it (cheat days) 😅🙂‍↕️”

“I'd give food a 5 but the way they made the ceviche is like tomato and onion based, like I get it suppse to carry tomato's and onion but for it to be MOSTLY that and not the ceviche is crazy!! It was delicious though. Everything was good except the sushi tempura Cali roll, they make their own sushi sauces but eel sauce is DEFINITELY needed. Maybe I got the wrong sushi since they're lots of different ones. The service when I got there. I almost left because it took awhile to get greeted, the were staff passing me and didn't acknowledge me, I thoguht that was rude. Acknowledgement is VERY important. I think the manager or the owner kept passing by and had the meanest, bitter face and idk but I think that if you're a manager or the owner you should be friendly and nice and give acknowledgement. The food was delicious though.”

“My favorite place to go! Always clean, ready to attend and okay prices. Popcorn chicken is delicious, fried rice is my favorite and I recommend class 302 milk tea with egg pudding!”

“I enjoy having breakfast with my friends Good food”

“It was really good, I liked the food, the service is really good anf the atmosphere is really welcoming. But there is one problem, the miso soup I ordered wasnt really well crooked, the noodles were stuck together. Also, I think they forgot about one of our orders but its okay because they brought it right away. Over all it was a good experience and I had fun, really good food and the lady that served us was really nice and quick with our order, they were fast to give us our food and the food was good looking.”

“Came here during my vacation a few years ago. First time ever eating their world famous burgers. I was very happy with their hamburgers. The fries need improvement. Friendly staff. Old school restaurant.”

“The best food, people and everything is amazing 🤩”

“This is the first time we eat here. The menu has a wide variety. My husband and I ordered chicken wrap. Delicious! The wrap is enough for a person!
The service was very good!
The only thing is that the restaurant does not have a bathroom. If you don't mind going to the nearby Starbucks you are good! However, the food was great! Definitely we will be back!”

“Best place in Downey for sushi on the go! Everything I've tried here is good. Dragon roll is my go to, but I have tried all there sushi rolls and all never disappoint. Also chicken Yaki Soba, Fried rice, and teriyaki bowl are very good.”

“Fantastic food options and high quality fish. A favorite of mine for the last 10 years. Can get busy for dinner as there is limited seating. Great attitudes from servers and chefs. You have to try the fresh spring roll and cilantro roll”

“Don't usually eat here. Maybe the last time I did was about 3 or more years ago. The food was good. Bought a burger for my mom as well, and she loved it.

Parking: They have enough space, and they don't need to share it with another business. Plenty of parking. Easy way in and easy way out.”

“el menú está variable y rico”

“This place NEVER FAILS me, food is always fresh and delicious. Took my daughter for lunch and the first step when we walked in we were greeted with a friendly smile. The young lady (Clerk GM) that served us had excellent, I mean superb customer service. This is definitely my sushi spot. I recommend it to everyone.”

“It’s a good boba spot. Their snacks are pretty good. I have only tried the popcorn chicken and the sweet potato fries. The music is super load in there and they do not have any restrooms so it’s more of a grab and go.”

“I'm a california burrito guy... the one from this place is it... I like how it has the fries and has a teriyaki twist to it. The beef plate w salad is also fire. The female working the register was super friendly. Thanks for a bomb meal yall.”

“The pastry options are great. The location is adorable and very well kept many great places to take pictures. Although the only down side is that there is not much space for you to sit around.”

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀”

“Visited with my family after church and it was satisfying, I love their mimosas. Every time I go I say I’m going to order something different but I haven’t I just like their biscuits and gravy too much!”

“Everything here is delicious I’ve ordered here more than a few times and it never disappoints. The seasoning is to perfection. Service is great very attentive.”

“I honestly love this place! It's the best Mexican food in south east LA in my opinion. Molcajete is to die for! Salsa is addictive! Service is beyond good. Environment was lively with games played on multiple screens. Clean, bright and welcoming. Owners are always hospitable and fun to interact with. Go here, but save a table for me :)”

“Super riquísimo delicioso 😋”

They have some great starters as well you gotta do dine in! They also offer to go which is great <3”

“Here’s a refined version of your description:

Tucked away as a true hidden gem, this cozy spot serves family-style Chinese food at unbeatable prices. The warm and inviting atmosphere, paired with exceptional customer service, makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. We opted for the family meals, which allow you to customize your order based on group size, with flexible options for each dish. You can even adjust the spice level or swap ingredients, like we did by changing one chow mein to a veggie version instead of beef.

Every detail was carefully attended to, from the food’s delivery to the impeccable service, and most importantly, the taste. The dishes were savory, fresh, and comforting—approved 100% by my mom, who already can't wait to return! And let me tell you, the wonton soup was simply perfect, bursting with flavor in every bite. The ambiance suits both large groups and solo diners, and you get to pick your seating when you walk in. Whether you're sharing a feast with family or ordering a single plate for yourself, this spot will leave you wanting more.”

“Great food prices and clean restaurant chain”

I am definitely ordering again. Genius!”

“The food was excellent! The portions were large and the drinks were amazing but our bartender/order taker/server/host/and everything else was a wonderful man named Raul! I believe his last name was Trepes? I hope that’s close? Anyway, this man practically ran the place because of a staff shortage! He provided everything we needed quickly, was extremely polite and he has a great sense of humor! I hope corporate realizes what a great job this man is doing and pays him well!!!”

“I was impressed how one girl delivered exceptional service on such a busy Sunday. Very swiftly yet calm and helpful to indecisive customers. I had the dulce de leche first and it was amazing and the freddo expresso transported me back to Greece. Not everone gets it on point. I had to go back for more after my lunch and I got a little creative and created my own and was glad to see that someone else was there to assist the young girl out.”

“El servicio al cliente EXCELENTE! La ranchera está marinada En su punto, no tiene Mucho condimento. La desebrada ( arrachera) tierna y saborsa. Y las tortillas se harina me encanta, especialmente las que están cerca de la caja de pagar. Muy limpio el negocio!”

“SUER DELICIOSOS POSTRES , ATENCION EXCELENTE Y EL LUGAR ES INCREIBLE. LA DECORACION ES MAGICA.”

“Super cool and has a mini museum Be sure to get the deep fried apple pie!!”

“We have been to this location multiple times and always enjoy ourselves. The space is open, well-lit, and spacious. In addition, there are tons of TVs and we usually get great service. The staff will remember us and go out of their way to say hi, and on one occasion, the manager (shoutout to Juan) got Peacock so that we could watch the Notre Dame game! We enjoy coming here and will continue to do so - it is definitely the best place to be if you are going to watch sports, listen to great music, and enjoy cold beer/good food.”

“We were celebrating a friends birthday. The food was delicious, service was impeccable and attentive. Valet parking was available and the restaurant is beautiful! A wonderful evening!”

“Food is always delicious, but there's two ladies that work here that are always rude. The older lady that sits you down always has a serious face and looks bothered by large groups.

“Very delicious food and quick service”

“Today was my first time here, and I will say this I haven't had good tacos in a very long time and these Carne asada tacos were a combo of, traditional street tacos and new school taste. Costumer service was on point. Very welcoming, overall 5 star rating.
Definitely coming back here.”

“I like it; clean; delicious food.”

“High quality well priced fast food. It is a small location. The chairs are bolted down, it is a bit hard to maneuver when crowded. There were no napkins or forks out, and the ketchup ran out, but the staff were helpful and nice. Would probably get it in the drive through next time.
