“I have tried a variety of items on the menu. A few of my favorites include the Al pastor nachos , caldo de pollo, torta de milanesa and the chicken tacos de canasta. You can’t go wrong with anything you choose. Irene and Jose are both really nice and will accommodate most requests.“
“Wow!! Everything about this place was amazing. The decor, the staff, the food. Can't wait to come back. Galata Turkish Halal Grill is on the corner of Belmont and Nieto. Depending on what time you come free parking can be difficult to find. They provide indoor seating and a few tables outside as well. I came with a friend and were seated within seconds. We ordered the Galata salad, a chicken donor wrap, and a beef donor wrap. To our surprise they brought out a plate of sun-dried tomatoes in herbs and oil with some fresh warm bread to start, so good! The food we ordered was delicious. We both agreed that the beef donor wrap was our favorite of the two. As for the salad, I thought corn was an interesting topping to add but I felt that the flavors went well together. The dates and the caramelized walnuts were a nice touch. However, my friend was on the fence about it. She mentioned it was too lemony for her taste. So keep that in mind if your preference is similar to hers when ordering the Galata salad. The staff had to have been the best part of the whole experience they were all so kind and very helpful when we were not sure what to order. They even gave us complimentary pomegranate tea when we finished our food. This place is a must try in my opinion.“
“First time coming here, we ordered the kimchi fried rice, beef galbi plate, and grilled shrimp plate - it was all soo delicious! Probably the best kimchi fried rice I've ever had, and it had an overeasy egg! I got it to go but it was quick and made fresh. Will definitely be back!“
“Good food and must try places of you are a big fan of tacos. I went to this place seeing the high ratings. I initially had no hopes but once I saw the food I was literally blown away by the flavor. The Smokey flavor and fresh veggies elated the experience. I ordered the veg nachos, horchatas, jackfruit taco, potato taco and chickpeas tacos. All the tacos and the nachos were really good. Highly recommend this place and I will must try place again.“
“Food came out quick and fast. Broth tasted homemade. Loved how tender the tendon and tripe was in the stew. Also enjoyed my large rice noodle with their house noodle. Everything tasted best with the bread stick dipped in the soup though.Only downside is getting parking as the restaurant is in a residential area. Otherwise, yum! Better than the Cerritos store.“
“Feels like a modern trendy hip pho spot that totally passes the vibe check.We were greeted as we came in even during the busy dinner time.Sat at one of the booths with space to have a stroller next to us without being in the way for others.The staff are super friendly with awesome ink tats and just super chill.I ordered the #4 pho with streak and brisket which was yummy, next time I will for sure get a large.We got 2 orders of the #30 the minced pork and veggies egg rolls which were delicious and gone as quickly as they came.Huge dinning area with a modern rustic open kitchen décor.Needed to stay up so I got me a Vietnamese coffee which was on point.Can’t wait to come back to try other things off the menu.Parking: Big parking lotKid-friendliness: Able to fit a stroller next to our table“
“Craving some good and authentic Korean food, I found my way back to Jin Cook and as usual, it did not let me down.ITEM'S ORDERED:Sweet Potato Cheese Curry KatsuSpicy Braised Beef Short RibGarlic SuYukMilitary SoupTASTE:Let me first mention that I'm half Korean to add some credibility to my review :) ;) I will say that the Kimchi here is probably my favorite out of all places. That is mainly because it has a slightly sweeter flavor and less sour than others that usually have that more pickled flavor. I was told that it's the owner's mothers recipe so that just makes it all the better.The Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib aka Galbi-jjim is a dish I've had before and is one of those flavors that just wants to make you keep on eating. The only thing that slows you down is how hot it is with it being in the stone pot. It's so savory, a little sweet and has a slight amount of heat. I will say that I do have a good tolerance for spicy food though. Besides the meat which is so tender, I really enjoy the pumpkin and rice cakes in the dish. Unless you are with 3 or more people, you'll most likely have leftovers.Sweet Potato Cheese Curry Katsu is a unique variation that I don't think I've seen at other places. There's a subtly sweetness that goes well with the cheese, pork, and crunch. Be careful when you take your first bite, it comes out and stays very hot.The Military Soup is one of those really comforting soups that'll make you feel good if you're under the weather. It's actually pretty spicy so be warned. The pork belly that came had a real nice flavor that adds to the dish overall.It was my first time having the Garlic SuYuk and it's as tasty as it is to look at. The pork is cooked perfectly and the garlic paste that it comes with has so much savory flavor, with the right amount of salt. I could really see this garlic paste tasting good on so many other dishes in general. The chili paste is not really hot but provides a slight chili flavor adding to everything else.SERVICE:The service was exceptional. Getting all the warm Korean welcoming vibes at this place just adds to the comfort food feel. They were really friendly and attentive the whole time.LOCATION & PARKING:They are basically located in a shopping plaza with an Albertson's so there is lots of parking. The interior is very comfy and warm with its abundant wood use making for a welcoming ambiance.If you are craving some delicious Korean cuisine you should definitely check this place out.“

“The food and service at the new location are just as wonderful as the original location. I look forward to more of my favorite dishes coming over. For now, I am enjoying trying new dishes and the lunch specials are a great deal. The team members are extremely friendly/inviting, and I always enjoy their recommendations.“
“Wow!!!! Hands down my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Their beef pho is delicious? and out of this world. I’ve been a big fan of pho ? and have been eating this dish for years just about everywhere I travel to when I’m out of state or in the mood for it here in the city. This is my new favorite spot for pho. Wish I can give them 10 stars because they deserve it.“
“A small local business offering Taiwanese food. The interior is older and aged. The parking directly in front can be a problem but there is more parking offered further down into the shopping center.The staff is nice and friendly. We’ve been going here for years and I feel like perhaps they have a new chef because all the flavors seemed off in some way.The menu has a lot to offer so you are sure to find something you like.“
“The food is nicely presented and arrives to the table quickly. We had the cochinita pibil, a chicken tamal, a chicken torta, and a dish that included a couple of different meats (can't remember it's name). Everything was expertly prepared, the dishes were clean, and very delicious. I recommend eating the habanero looking chile that comes with the food as it add a spicey dimension to your food with a gentle beginning that builds with every bite.“
“This is where we go for special occasions when we want solid Korean food, particularly savory soups.But that is not to say the other stuff on the menu is not worth trying.Some of the dishes deserve special recognition, because they are not typical (in my experience) or because they are exceptional. Not typical could include the Yeolmu Boribap, which is daikon radish greens mixed with barley rice and other ingredients. Very tasty and filling, even if I can't recall having it elsewhere. We really like it. Seasonal? Maybe.Exceptional could include the Doenjang soup/chigae, which we all agree is maybe the best we have tried in years. It is a treat. Many regard this dish, served elsewhere, as a pedestrian food, ordinary and a staple, but here it is elevated.The Chunggukjang is a more rustic version of the Doenjang soup/chigae, and it is very delicious. For the uninitiated, this is a stew made from something like (Japanese) natto, and it isn't great for a hot day, but rather, awesome for cold weather dining. Delicious, not for the delicate.In sum, this is a mom-and-pop style place, not some corporate chain, exactly the kind of place we like to support. People in the area who seek good homestyle Korean food will know this place and appreciate what they do here.“
“Another place I go to regularly and somehow never reviewed. This little place is the definition of a hole in the wall with fantastic home-made tasting food. The kimchi stew tastes as good as the ones my friends' moms make. They always use very ripe kimchi. Their dumpling soup is also very good with broth that actually has flavor. Their meats are all well marinated and the stone pot bi bim bap is awesome! They also give you tons of side dishes. Their prices are also much lower than most of the places nearby. The Aunties don't speak a lot of English but they're always so kind. Love this place. **Tip: if you prefer white rice make sure to ask or they'll automatically give you the rice with stuff like beans.“
“Tacos El Charro is the place to go if you're looking for a delicious plate of asada tacos or chile verde! I recently placed a catering order and let me tell you, the food was fresh and flavorful! Our family and friends went back for seconds and thirds because that's how good it was! Thank you Tacos El Charro! We can't wait to order from you again!“
“So the first time I was to this place I ordered. A pho beef with a Vietnamese iced coffee with two of my other friends. They really love the coffee, especially me. It was really good and the pho as well. So I'll be honest with you. I ordered 12 coffees for me, my friends and school staff. They all really loved it. We'll definitely be coming back or ordering delivery universities you're going to use coffee or tea cuz the cops are like hella cute“
“Green onion pancakes are crispy, flaky, and fragrant. Dry crispy pork spare ribs with spices, amped up with chopped garlic and jalapenos. My favorite every time mala spicy prime beef noodle soup, tasty sauté of mushroom medly with Chinese celery - a perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes and their house specialSpicy noodles for those of us who like it hot! I'm so glad they have good service and consistently delicious dishes!“

“I am never disappointed when I order food from Appu's Cafe. I have tried almost everything on the menu and found it to be delicious, a good value for the price, and always ready on-time when I order online. The staff is kind and pleasant and very accomodating (sometimes I need to ask for the spice level to go down a few levels!). Excellent value all the way around!“
“We frequent this place often. My favorite is The Spicy Beef clear noodle vegetable soup (Yuk Kae Jung) is very god here. Bibimbab is another very good dish. Their food all around is pretty good. Small mom and pop kind of place. Sometime we dine in and other times we order to go. Always good food and never had any issues of the years.“
“I bring my friends a lot. And people mostly know this place. Can feel pretty decent traditional pho. I'm a regular. My favorite Vietnamese rice noodle restaurant. When I was having a hard time after going camping, I went and ate to cheer myself up and finished packing up my belongings from the camping trip that day... It gets me full energy ♥️ ?“
“This place is an old school Korean restaurant but the food is excellent. As someone who recently moved from Koreatown LA to a gateway city, I had to find my go to Korean restaurant and I think this is one of my favorite places. We like to get the Uhndaegoo jorim (braised black cod). Some of our other favorites are the dahk gae jang, as well as the bohtsahm. The atmosphere is very modest and simple, but this is the kind of place that suits me.I highly recommend this place both for Korean traditionalists as well as non-Koreans who just want some really good quality Korean food.“
“The food was great! I had vegetables with tofu and a side of rice. The food came out quick and very hot. The service was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was calm despite several other customers, which I enjoyed. Thanks for a great experience!“
“great food. we ordered phở for a cool late morning & sat outside so it was perfect. this is northern vnese style phở (which is just a little salty for my taste) but I appreciate the clear & not overly spiced broth. it's a straight forward & authentically honest bowl of phở. there are fresh spices, good quality beef & super tender meat fall-of-the-bone pork ribs. so good & so satisfying. vnse coffee (café sữa đá) is also right on the money! btw, for those who need it, you can load the soup up with siracchia & have a perfect hangover-buster ? you're welcome ? service is prompt & friendly - price is decent but not cheap. all in all, a winner for local norwalk & neighboring city. we'll definitely be back & highly recommend pho anvi. we need to keep good businesses around for fellow foodies.“
“The place is unique , because when I watching by the windows honestly I don't have idea is a restaurant.But I walk to go in ..and looks nice in side, the food is really good but the portions is too small.Can I make a suggestion? Please clean the windows“
“Been wanting to try this place out. I got a to-go order and ordered the combo number 1, spring rolls and Thai tea. The soup is really good! I love the broth and it's probably one of the best I've ever tasted so far. The spring rolls were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the peanut sauce, but it wasn't terrible. And the Thai tea tasted pretty good! It was a little pricey, more than i had hoped to spend, but mostly worth it when im dying from a cold and want pho lol. I'd recommend this place to people wanting pho and I'd definitely come again. When ordering, the guy on the phone was very nice and when paying as well. All in all, I had a great experience.“
“We've been going her since the 80's. Best Chinese food in town. Going to miss the place when they close all the business in that center for some new construction. I hope they re-open somewhere else. We love all the staff, food & simple ambiance ?“
“I would of took a picture of our food but we devoured it! Platano Maduro Con Todo & Chuleta Frita, deliciosa!Ordering was easy and simple, atmosphere when I walked in for pick-up was phenomenal, lots of imported goodies, and great service every time.Thank you Honduras.“
“The food is good but it is not worth the price. I got the pho combination which was 16 dollars. I would not mind the price but they are stingy with the meat. I would not bother coming back when there are so many other options that are worth the price of admission.“
“We love pho alley for a quick bite to go. We came in the other night to place a to go order and it took about 45 minutes and most of our food wasn’t very warm, but we would still come back. I just suggest ordering ahead of time. The house pho and garlic noodles + shaken beef are our favorites here. The shaken beef is tender and the sauce is delicious. I love the beef broth the pho comes in.“
“Neat place that offers authentic Korean food. We ordered their chicken hot pot, delicious! After we're done with the hot pot, the chef made fried rice using the leftover broth and veggies. The chef is attentive, friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this place.“
“The best birria in all of Los Angeles! Made with love and goat as it should be done.My family has been visiting this establishment since '89, they met the previous owner and now I believe that the nephew is the one who maintains the perfect recipe for Baldomero birria.Find your table, pick up your drink and enjoy!The best broth for any occasion.The only annoying thing is that only cash is accepted.The best birria in LA hands down! Made in the heart of LA (the real LA) and with goat not beef.Find your table, pick a drink & enjoy!Best soup for any occasion!Only downside is that it is cash only.“
“CASH ONLY. As of now, this is the closest place to get Thai Boat noodles from where I stay. Normally, my husband and I would prefer to go to LB Thai, but when we don't want to make that drive, we go here. The broth for the Thai Boat is always thick, rich, and full of flavor. I wasn't a big fan of their Hainan Chicken, which they only serve on certain days, but their Rad Na was pretty good. Super saucy with their gravy, but flavorful, nonethless. The pricing is pretty steep here for the serving size that you get. I felt like my plate of Rad Na didn't have too many noodles as I'd normally get elsewhere, but it felt like more veggies instead. I didn't really feel full after my meal, but it was fine. I wasn't trying to feel super stuffed either, I guess. But this is the place you want to go in the north for Thai Boat cravings. Free parking in plaza.“
“Tasty and delicious Thai food restaurant! Cute cozy and clean dining area. We absolutely liked it,all the food were well organized and the servers were very friendly and nice. I don’t exactly remembered what appetizers i had (but it’s in the photo i posted) please try that it was “
“Chicken parmigiana was incredibly salty. The spaghetti attached was over cooked, even compared to a previous visit. Server and plate bearer were kind, great attitudes. Hostesses a great too, were working through a bit of confusion during crowded “
“Food was good.. portions kind of small for the price .. but it was the only Thai place open between the hours of 2pm and 4 pm .. for some reason all the other Thai places in the neighborhood close for lunch between 2 & 4 .. go figure ..“
“BCD was very accommodating to a family group of 15 who walked in at the latter part of the evening.Service was alright. We asked for a few items as they kept forgetting to bring them.Food was great though. Their entree combos come with a soup, making it large enough for two people to share.“
“My wife and I have been going to Soup Shop for a while, and it never disappoints. Pho is delicious there, and it comes out hot and stemming yum . The egg rolls are as authentic as they come,I just came back from Vietnam, and this place is just as good highly recommended ?“
“I've only tried the pupusas from this place, and they are pretty good compared to other restaurants in the area. So this review is for the pupusas ONLY. having said that, they taste authentic and they are generous with their sauce and curtido. Because of this, I am willing now to try other stuff there. Since the most basic of their cuisine is good, I want to assume the other plates are good as well. Will definitely update. For now food is a 5 service is a 4.“
“I walked in to ask for a togo order.If you are unsure of what items to order, ask for a menu.The portions are huge! Consider ordering 1 side per person.So far everything I had on the menu is good. The best item so far are the fried pork chops. They give you so many that the box cannot close.This is the best Chinese in the vicinity, will come back.“
“Lady that took my order over the phone made sure to explain the menu items I wanted to order before finalizing my pickup order. Upon picking up my order she made sure to go over my entire order and had it packed perfectly. When I got home and unpacked my order, all items were labeled and even included a note letting me know one of the items was extra hot. Little details like this is what keeps my family and I coming back to Ho Ho China. Thank you to the staff and cooks, keep up the great work!“
“It's a turo-turo (all the food is displayed and warmed behind a glass counter) with dining tables. They offer tasty traditional Filipino food and the staff is just wonderful and friendly. My favorite is the Bicol Express. I wish their kare-kare had more meat and tripe instead of just oxtails. They also have teriyaki chicken (yummy) and spicy ribs (also yummy). I just wish they had someone to bus tables.“
“most people would probably label No. 1 Chef as a hole in the wall but I would rather label them as a hidden gem ?. Been eating here for about 5 years now and it’s still exquisite every single time. I really enjoy the authenticity and proper quality of their dishes. Thank you No. 1 Chef for always keeping your food fresh and delicious.“
“Good Chinese food, pretty authentic. Ordered eggplant with garlic sauce (鱼香茄子), fish, and wonton，all delicious and very fresh, with very reasonable price. Will try their noodles in the future! They do charge 3.5% extra for using credit card, a bit annoying.“
“Food was great as alway's and customer service was even greater thank you guy's definitely be back food alway's taste so deliciousKid-friendliness: Just kind ownershipParking: Sometimes it gets crowded must wait a lil but sometimes empty like todayWheelchair accessibility: No step or stairs“
“I visited this location during happy hour and had an amazing experience! Our waiter was incredible he taught us how to open the Dungeness crab + provided top tier service. This restaurant is a gem. The food was fresh and the restaurant was clean.“
“Wanting to give another Vietnamese restaurant a try and ended up here from San Pedro. So it was quite a drive however well worth it.They have a pretty big menu and plenty of items to choose from.I got their 3 combination vermicelli bowl with egg rolls, grilled shrimp, and grilled pork, wife got their brisket pho, and our daughter got their BBQ pork soup with egg noodles, and a side of their signature spring rolls which came with peanut sauce for dipping.Their food here was quite delicious and quite the treat.Bloomings reminds me of 'Pho Crystal 3'(Carson City) and 'Pho Fula'(Fullerton OC). They have generous portions for the price and excellent tasting dishes.Bloomings was clean, organized, and excellent service. We will be coming back to try more items on the menu.There are so many other options, however you can only eat so much for your first visit.“
“My family and I used to dine here often and it had been years since we last ate at Kung Pao Bowl. The customer service alone is reason to come as you are treated like family (Alice is the best!). We ordered a few lunch specials with cashew chicken , orange chicken, chop suey and kung pao 3 delight. All dishes tasted fresh and flavorful! I don't know why we stopped coming but will be back sooner than later!“
“Was in the mood for some soup and a michelada today so I decided to give this spot a try for the first time. I've gotta say I was not disappointed, everything was excellent! I came in around 5pm on a Friday and it wasn't very busy (which was surprising but also nice cause it was very peaceful lol) was greeted by the owner and told to take a seat. I pulled up the menu with the QR code at the table and took a look at everything. I was having a hard time deciding between the pozole and the carne en su jugo, the owner said both were great but the pozole is a customer favorite. Decided to go with that and a Michelada both were extremely tasty! And after the pozole came out the owner surprised me with a little sample of the carne en su jugo! It was freakin delicious! Definitely gonna have to get that one next time for sure! Anyways it was a pleasant experience from start to finish and definitely will recommend this spot to my family and friends! 10/10 recommend!“
“Not sure how anyone could write a bad review, when you can see the food being made fresh. I went at opening time 11:00 am and the food was still being prepared. Fresh Orange "Chicken" and you taste chicken. Not a mouth full of dough like other places. The chow mein, spicey wings, and terriyacki chicken was great! All the vegtables were also excellent. I loved the asmospher. COVID has stopped in-door eating, but I will be back next week. Semper Fi to Panda King Employees. I noticed you working very hard.“
“Food was bland and felt almost lukewarm. When you step in, the odor is strong of old cheese. Maybe if they had better air circulation, it wouldn't be so bad. Our waitress, Yaneth, was very attentive, fast, and nice. We did get a visit from the manager who was also polite and offered us more chocolate.“
“The beef chow fun is literally, no exaggeration, the best plate of noodles I've ever had in my life. Not only the kind of flavorful that goes through your whole body, but the beef was tender as butter. The hot and sour soup was also exemplary. I'm kind of a man of habit and it takes a lot to add a restaurant to my regular favorites rotation; Fu Plus jumped to the top of the list and it's likely to stay there. Holy cow.“
