Restaurants in Lakewood

“I give the restaurant a solid four star BUT you better hit the 1 button, if you call in an order. I hit the 2 button as suggested! What a nightmare, you get a National Answering Service that doesn’t have a clue about the menu…put me on hold for 4 minutes, then tried to refer me to a different Outback…Nuts. I drove up to pickup area and placed order there! Thank goodness for the usual great service there?”

Parking: Not noisy but comfortable. Never a long wait, I love the Lakewood Branch!”

“First time there was today. The portions were good size, and the food was delicious. The waitresses, that waited on us were very polite and asked us every few minutes If we needed anything. My son also liked the cuts of the meats and the sauces were very good along with all the sides. We will definitely be going back again. Also, for desert ice cream. Yum.”

“love the food 🥰 and entertainment”

“I was running errands and I got hungry so we stopped at honey baked and got an oven roasted turkey sandwich combo and to my surprise it was worth what I paid for”

“Highly recommended!!
My husband and I tried this place for the first time last year and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food!
All side dishes were exceptional and meat was so delicious and our server helped us to cook it to perfection.
We absolutely love love this place.”

“Absolutely loved our experience at Shahi Mahal Restaurant!
We tried the Nihari, Chicken Chilli, Chicken Biryani, Punjabi Samosa, Chaat, Mango Kheer, and fresh Naan — everything was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. The food was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. A special shout-out to Moeen, one of the co-owners, who was incredibly friendly and guided us through the menu with great recommendations. His hospitality made the visit even better.
If you're craving real, traditional Indian cuisine, Shahi Mahal Restaurant is a must-visit!”

“Shuladaaaaa,,, de comidaaaa…”

“(Translated by Google) It is the best place for a group of guests. The food is especially delicious. There are large rooms and small rooms, so they are perfect for groups. Parking is also not inconvenient. Of course, there is a large hall, so it is good not only for singles but also for couples.(Original)단체손님인 경우에는 최적의 장소이다. 특히 음식이 맛있다. 큰룸과 작은룸이 있어서 그룹으로 가기에 안성맞춤이다. 파킹 또한 불편함이 없다. 물론 넓은 홀이 있어서 혼자서 뿐만 아니라 커플이 가기에도 좋다.”

“A nice place to get a quick bite to eat.”

“We ❤️ Round Table! Fresh food, Friendly employee’s and the Family Night Deals are amazing! Keep up the great service Steven and crew - We appreciate it!”

“First time passing by on a Saturday afternoon. Wanted to try the Hibiscus Strawberry Tea and it was actually pretty good Light and refreshing. I didnt try any of their pastries maybe next time.”

“Delicious food . Not a long wait. I will return 🤗”

“Amazing atmosphere and amazing service.”

“Great place if you want something healthy. I had the veggie club sandwhich and Iron smoothie. Both tasted fantastic! Great service, great price and great food! Highly recommend! ??”

“For a late evening spot, it’s quite lively and the staff were super friendly and efficient.
Shawn was quick to help me figure out what I wanted since it was my first time.”

“Tacos are really good! Meat is flavorful and the tortillas are really good. I'll definitely come back for tacos

The burrito is pretty meh though because the beans and rice aren't great. It's just loose beans that are good on their own at the salsa bar but just not contributing much to the burrito itself. As for the rice idk they are just there.

If you still get a burrito get salsa because I had to add quite a bit every bite so it'd be flavorful. I don't think they added much salsa inside the burrito.

Parking is very limited because this plaza is busy so you may have to park further out.”

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!”

“The reviews are on point!!! The best cheesecake I've ever had!! It is so rich and creamy, but not overwhelmingly so. So many flavors and they are all delicious!! I buy them to celebrate my team at work, and it is a hit EVERY TIME!!! Thank you Doll Babee's!!!!”

“I only like this place cause it's where my sugar daddy took me so it's low-key”

“Wonton soup with the bread is perfect for this chilly morning.”

“I got the veggie breakfast burrito. It was the best veggie burrito I’ve ever had! We also tried their fresh passion fruit and guanana juice. Both were so so good. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend.”

“the product is not one to pass up and the owner is a fantastic person.”

“This is a perfect small intimate coffee shop. The atmosphere screams comfort and their selections are short but mastered. The staff was knowledgeable about their selections and gave a great recommendation. On top of that they host open mics all the time so when you get time follow them on IG to see what's coming up. Highly recommend this gem”

“Ordered pick up, and found my new late night Thai spot 👌🏻💕
I ordered their crab fried, chicken satay, and papaya salad. Everything tasted great and fresh. Will come back again ☺️”

“I love love love love Luna Grill. Service is excellent thank you Nadja very nice good atmosphere and the food is delicious very fresh and tasty.”

“Ordered food as they were closing they were very friendly and even helped us pick combos that would be more variety and just enough for two rather than ordering one dish a la cart . They were very very kind and the food was hot and delicious. I loved the vegetables and thought everything was very good. The customer service is so great they treat you like family.

Vegetarian options: The vegetables are crisp and fresh and served in light sauce very yummy so are egg rolls no meat in the egg rolls delicious”

“Great burgers! My go to burger spot when I am in Cali.”

“Very Friendly the food was delicious”

“Great service. Friendly help. Good food”

“Went to pick up a dozen cupcakes to try for our wedding. Great service very helpful”

“We recently ordered two boba drinks from Bobuzz, including their signature “PMC” with boba and “The Dark White.” While the overall flavor of the drinks was comparable to other quality boba shops, the tapioca pearls (“boba”) were unfortunately undercooked, which detracted from the experience. Additionally, offering customers the option to customize the sweetness level would be a welcome improvement. While there is potential, the overall experience left us with mixed feelings. Personally, it wouldn’t be my first choice for a dessert stop after a pleasant meal, at least not for now.”

“Since the day this place opened its doors, I've been a loyal customer. The owner never fails to greet me by name and has my order memorized. I value exceptional service, but what truly touches my heart is the strong sense of community here.”

“Everything was good I got salad 🥗 it was delicious they give you more than enough I never been there am going back again”

“I have been going to Mamma's sushi for years. Before the Shabu Shabu next door. I have always enjoyed the food, service and the atmosphere. It seems like they get better in each category over the years. Recently, I have noticed that while other places have made Sushi almost unaffordable, Mamma's sushi saves the day with all their deals. Lunch specials, dinner specials it seems like they have something for every time slot of the day.

Savings! Savings and taste? It is now my favorite sushi spot. It does not hurt the bank and I love the customer service. They are busy often but I feel that they still manage to do an excellent job all around. Keep it up Mamma's and see you soon!”

“The food is good but the restroom is totally disgusting”

“Great location. I wasn't expecting much from this spot as I had never been here before. However I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of flavor and quality of the food as I received my chicken teriyaki bowl. Keep up the good work!”

“This place is AMAZING! I am not a protein shake or tea fan but this place puts them on a fan level!!! My cousins when to school with the owner and insisted I give it a try. I am now a weekly visitor getting the chocolate chip banana bread protein shake in the biggest size I can get it and a to go kit for my teas! The weekend staff know me by name, make a point to personally greet me as I walk in, and always have the best customer service!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful Italian restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy, authentic Italian feel. The food was absolutely delicious — everything from the fresh pasta to the homemade sauces was bursting with flavor.

But what really stood out was the service. The owner's son, who helps run the restaurant, was incredibly kind and welcoming. He took the time to chat with us, made sure everything was perfect, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. It's clear that the family puts their heart into this place, and it shows.

Whether you're craving classic Italian dishes or just looking for a place with amazing hospitality, this spot is a must-visit!”

“Sushi rolls are of excellent quality here. I love how fresh they taste and I also appreciate the variety they have. Staff is very friendly and prompt on our orders. The only issue is that their teriyaki chicken has been really dry lately.”

“Better than the norm, cheap, taste great, Hot and saucy. Cheese just oozes on like string, no lie. ����”

“I had a great egg salad sandwich 😋”

“My first time here!

For those who appreciate a bit of heat, the spice levels can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, allowing each diner to enjoy a meal that is perfectly tailored to their taste.

One of the standout aspects of Nayada Thai Cuisine is their commitment to using high-quality, fresh ingredients. This dedication to quality is evident in the vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation of each dish.

Whether you are a long-time fan of Thai cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore new flavors, Nayada Thai Cuisine in Long Beach promises a memorable dining experience that will leave you eager to return.”

“Should b called Lakewood’s Best kept secret!! Hahahaa those that kno...then ya kno!!”

“Quite a small but cute shop. We had a muffin, chocolate raspberry cake and a pistachio scone~ delicious and gluten free! If you’re looking for keto or gluten free options, this place is dedicated to celiacs (like me). Although a bit pricey (like most gluten free spots), it was worth the trip.”

“I love this place. It's friendly, the bartender is an absolute sweetheart, the KJ is amazing, and they don't over serve and have overly drunk patrons there amd harassing other customers. Karaoke here is a blast and the KJ is very fair with the lineup. This is my new spot to hang after a long week. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Good DELICIOUS Food Great Customer service”

“Very good service thanks. Keep it up”

“i heard its good so i will be there for them turkey chops I hear about”

“This place is bomb. The sushi was fresh, everything tasted good, and the service was excellent. The batter for the tempura had a fantastic, almost sweet, taste. The sushi combo had a variety that melted in my mouth like butter.”

“Not only is the food DELICIOUS! The customer service is awesome. If you have never been there you can just start at the top of the menu and work your way down. I have and I have not been disappointed at all. Thanks Chinitos Tacos for the delicious spin on my favorite food, TACOS!”

“I have been Smakk'D. I ordered the herbal tea with stevia and it is delicious and it cleans you out with minimal cramping. I don't feel bloated and it's amazing!! I suggest Smakk'D!!! I want to try all the flavors and the best part is it can be custom to your liking!!!!!”

“Ordered take-out. Bipimbap was ok, protein portion was small, maybe 4 tablespoons size. Likely will not order that again. However, the Budae Jjigae, had a nice (but not overly spicy broth) with ham, hot dog and spam. Would definitely order it again.”

“Wasabi Roll & Ramen Bar 🍺 is for everyone enjoyable experience that keeps myself and family coming back. Food a 9.3 based on ramen and sushi any day of the week.”

“I've lived in Long Beach my whole life and there's always somewhere new to find, and when I was invited to Me and Ed's Pizza and got the Hawaiian with Alfredo I was like, come on, but then the first bite it was like holy guacamole!”

“I highly recommend ordering the pull pork sandwich it was delicious. I truly love the kettle chips. The pepperoni pizza with seranos was on point. The staff is so nice and welcoming.”

“Little hole in the wall. Never new this place existed until I googled sushi places near me. Tried it for the first time. Their sushi is very delicious!! Very good deals too. Buy 2 get 1 free. Super yummy, have lots of flavors. Service was good. Am definitely going back to try more of their deliciousness.”

“Fun Karaoke with a cash only bar, great drinks -friendly bartenders.”

“I ordered lumpia for superbowl. My family devoured it!! We went back a few times and got dinners including the pork adobo and rice. We have and also the skewers of chicken and also pork. Everything is always delicious!!! Friendly people :) Going back to get more lumpia next week for a party.”

“Sun light hours, this is a neighborhood bar with 50% of patrons being regulars. Staff knows everyone, and it's very welcoming. Come at night if you want a good drink and a loud dive bar. Pool table, golden tee, and they just added 2 dart boards. Live music a few nights a week. Cheap prices here don't mean cheap drinks.”

“Excellent pizza texture,flavor,taste it taste delicious is the best...”

“Very good customer service from the young, hard-working lady. My wife and I dinned in , we took about 45 min to eat, and throughout those 45 mins, the young lady did not stop working. I can see Uber driver picking up orders ans she still kept working after we left. Her name was sarah.”

“1st time there... absolutely AWESOME food.”

“Came in on 3.5.24 at 8pm with two basketball teams. There were also multiple people in line behind us and this employee was patient, nice and did not get frustrated with our girls. Its nice to see there are still good workers out here”

“Been passing by this place for a few weeks and finally decided to give there breakfast tortas a try before work. And me and my partner have been going whenever we can. I get the chorizo w/egg he gets the ham w/egg. Everything taste good the bolillo taste good on its own. Plus we recently tried there Guatemalan breakfast everything on that plate was amazing. I think she said they only make it on the weekends. But so worth. Plus there sweet bread and donuts are also very tasty. Owners are very nice people very welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to try there other items ☺️”

“I’m always looking for a place that serves delicious food and BBQ Chicken was highly recommended by a friend. I went in person looked around, place was clean, the girl that greeted me was polite and patient. I read the menu and ordered 3 different flavors wings, kimchi rice and cheese fries. I was not disappointed everything I ordered was deliciously yummy😋 iI will definitely return and highly recommend it to family, friends and coworkers! Hands down the best wings I’ve eaten! Watch out competitors you’re in big trouble now! BBQ Chicken is here to stay!”

“This was my first time here and i got the breakfast burrito and it was BOMB this was the best burrito ive had everything in it was good definitely be coming back.”

“I would never expect to buy an Americano with a Tiramisu in a Korean grocery store chain, but new things can happen everyday, I guess. As a random purchase, the coffee and Tiramisu were great, and I'd gladly enjoy another drink whenever I get the chance.”

“i ordered from Uber Eats and YUM I am so happy I was craving wings! this place definitely did not disappoint. got the $25 family package their promoting. 25 boneless wings, large buffalo(or any sauce& they also have chicken on them!!!)fries and 4 breadsticks and a choice between ranch, bleu cheese and "special sauce". their boneless wings don't have a whole lot of breading which is awesome! BWW has too much breading. these are perfect. for the wings I got Original Hot, Honey BBQ, and Pineapple Jalapeno. all so good! for the fries we got the jamaican jerk! they're good. kinda tastes like a peppery bbq. also their packaging was awesome. I really like how separated everything was. will definitely be ordering again!!”

“If you're craving authentic Thai food, Thai Corner is the place to be! I tried the ginger beef, and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was exceptional, thanks to Moon, who was incredibly attentive, kind, and friendly. The restaurant itself is spotless, and I highly recommend trying their Thai chili sauces — it’s simply amazing! Highly recommend this place for anyone in the mood for great Thai cuisine.”

“Really good milk tea and unique toppings that are made in shop. The black sesame topping so good and the first time I’ve come across it. Many of the toppings are low in sugar which is nice. If you have a good palette for tea, this is higher quality than almost all the other boba shops. The caffeine content seems higher most milk tea, in that I actually notice it.”

“Very clean place. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. The owner is so sweet. She cleaned our bottles real nice and filled it for us. I am not a local but I will definitely come again when I am in the area.”

“BEST location !! all the workers here are so sweet and nice . And the store manager the beautiful woman she's such a hard worker u can tell she really does love what she does and takes good care of the place and the workers I always see her training and working never just sitting or doing nothing. We will always come back time and time again 💖”

“Authentic Mexican flavor, excellent service, highly recommended”

“They have a huge menu up to like 60 items! They have all kinds of ice creams, natural juices, and so much more! Great place for a snack and dessert. and I love how it reminds me of Mexico! You won't regret coming! I highly recommend this location!”

“Great”

“Lakewood Rocks Sports Bar is a very nice. Great live bands, friendly bartenders, clean, dance floor, nice decore and set up well. It may look small from the outside but step in and you will find it's much larger. Sue the owner is a very friendly person and takes pride in what she does. Myself as a woman feels safe there. Nice friendly clientele. The door manager is a great guy. Step into Lakewood Rocks Sportsbar and enjoy a good time!”

“I’ve hosted many of our school and sports parties at Cal Bowl and have had food catered by Kingpin Pizza. The pizzas are delicious and I also love the chicken wings and tater tots.”

“Always satisfies with everything!!”

“nice location from my house”

“I tried yesterday with my sister.. hot dogs that we tried was great.. I'm definitely gonna come back and I'll recommend to my other friends too.. we ate two hands dog, spicy dog and dirty fries.. yum~~”

“It’s not longer Genkiyaki, it’s Nghbrs Kitchen
That being said, the atmosphere isn’t the same. I waited staring at the walls instead playing the awesome arcade games. The ninja fries are very close to the original and the chicken is much better portion and taste better.”

“what more can you ask for”

“My family and I have been going here for 15+ years. The food is always exceptional and reasonably priced to this day! I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! Lots of memories made here!”

“The girl who serves today is October 29, 10:28 am, always very friendly, she deserves a higher and better paid position. I love her service and few like her. Good service happy.”

“I havent stepped foot into a chronic tacos in 15 years, and previously I had only ever ordered the tacos which were underwhelming. I got a Cali burrito today and it was delicious. Added some refried beans and hot salsa and it was perfect. They did run out of carnitas otherwise I woulda swapped meats. But I enjoyed every bite of it and I will return.”

“I got 2 huge quest crusted tacos, one chicken and one steak. Both were insane and fresh even after driving home 15 minutes. We also got 3 steak tacos and 1 adobada taco all tender and fresh. Honestly they gave us 4 salsas per person and every single one was amazing all together even. Enjoyed it here and all for $22 bruh I had to tip this was real food and real prices.”

“Always great service and food here.
Nice outdoor seating area for when the weather is too good to be inside.
Can get a little crowded but always worth it.”

“Un gran servicio y muy amable la gente selo recomiendo 100 %”

“Great local bar, drinks are affordable service is friendly and tvs have local sports. Perfect day care for Dad’s. Ladies leave your husbands in good hands!”

“Oki Japan is very tasty and at a great price. We were there before the circus, which was on the lot and had a nice meal. It is located inside the Lakewood Center Mall.The place is small and does a lot of to go and delivery. There are some nice places to sit and the mall area right out front as a lot of seating.We had shrimp tempura and rice which was great and some sushi. The sushi was good, not great. We will have something else next time. Their beef bento box was really good and their vegetables are steamed nicely and they are super tasty. Their chicken teriyaki is excellent.The place is clean and the service is really nice and they are fast. Have fun.”

“The only times I leave a review is when I get excellent service.Start to finish, whoever was working here on the day of October 18, treated me like excellence. It was the 4 PM shift, he was wearing a gray shirt, and an excellent smile.That’s the type of service that I love to see aspiring for greatness, always, even if it’s just one customer in line. that guy deserves a raise. Thanks boss.”

“One of the few places with really cheesy mozzarella on their pizzas and a puffy soft crust and crisp outside. We drive from North Long Beach just for a slice because it's worth it.”

“todo muy rico y muy buena atencion”

“Great hotdogs if you are craving for one. We always order the Chili Dogs combo that comes with fries and a drink. Best prices if you are looking heavily with your budget. Cashier Marie was kind and fast and getting our orders. The restaurant is clean and ambience is great”

“So delicious! I will be back🤪”

“Good time djing there last night”

“Rebecca and Janet are the best! They made sure my order was correct & both were so courteous! They renewed my faith in humanity!
I had to add carol & her amazing customer service and efficiency! I’ve been to and ordered from a lot of Denny’s, but this one is by far the best! Good customer service is so hard to come by and getting the order exactly right perfect every time. They’re just amazing. .keep up the good work guys❤️”

“Went to Carl’s Jr the other day and a nice girl with blonde curly hair was my cashier and she was so nice to me and her recommendation were amazing! She recommended the California classic and I loved it! I will definitely be coming back here again.”

“Super delicious and very good service 👍🏻”

“Amazing place!! Came with my family for a quick little pit stop while on a road trip and will definitely be coming back next time we're in town!! This kind lady Veronica helped me with the Carls Jr. app, very patient and extremely helpful. My kiddos were so excited and happy with their meals, not too pricey either, would absolutely recommend!”

“First time here. Delicious food at a great price. I used the coupon from this weeks flyer. Buy one get one 😃❤️”

“Seated very quickly with no wait. The lone server was hustlin nonstop, so when our order arrived, it was half correct, and he was already off to fetch the next order up before I could take my next breath. I was able to inform him after his next drop. In the blink of an eye, he had replaced the incorrect dish with the one we had originally ordered, and just like that, he was off to the races, taking the rogue dish to its rightful owner. The food was delicious, and as we were leaving, it appeared the next shift if employees were arriving to relieve or assist.

Parking: Restaurant row, plentiful parking”

“There is no Arby's close to where I live, so I only go when we are in the area. Staff is always friendly, it's always clean, and the food always taste great. We have never had a problem here, and we will continue to go back whenever we are in the area.”
