“the best！You’ve got to try the beef tongue, frog, and fish here! The beef tongue is tender and full of flavor, the frog is cooked perfectly and super tasty, and the fish is fresh and seasoned just right. Highly recommended!”

“Located in a vibrant neighborhood, Oyster Dive Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a unique twist on seafood classics. The crispy Cajun fries with cheese are a standout appetizer, perfectly seasoned and crunchy, making them an irresistible starter. The lobster pasta features fresh lobster, expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for both casual outings and intimate dinners. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. However, it's worth noting that the restroom could use more attention; cleanliness was a bit lacking during my visit. Despite this minor drawback, the delicious food and pleasant surroundings make Oyster Dive Bar a recommended choice for seafood enthusiasts looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a relaxed setting. Overall, Oyster Dive Bar earns four stars for its tasty dishes, friendly service, and comfortable ambiance. With a few improvements in cleanliness, it could easily become a five-star dining destination.”

“This boba place in Temple City has a nice touch too it. The interior design is pretty cool. The drink menu is pretty long so there's lots of options to choose from. You can get a reusable glass bottle for around a dollar extra which I did get. I ordered the regular milk tea with boba. The drink was okay but better than other places I've had. I would say the atmosphere of this place is nice because it can be used as a study spot since last time I went it was pretty quiet and they had seating. The service was pretty quick as well. Overall, great experience.”

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味”

“Their meat being served here are excellent. I have tried their Cabeza, Alpastor, Tripa, Pollo and Asada all are ? but my all time chose of meat is their Cabeza ?. Im addicted to their Tripas so yummy ?”

“I love this restaurant so much! It’s never as full as I think it should be; maybe people are intimidated by the DIY element? (It’s a build-your-own malatang / mala dry pot kind of spot.) The flavors are authentic and spicy (but you can dial down the spice if that’s not your thing.) there’s also a cash discount if you pay with cash.

Parking: There is street parking in the neighborhood as well as a dedicated lot behind the restaurant (free).”

“Great food. The BLT, mango raspberry, fruit cocktail, and brulee are incredible.

Parking: Lots of spots in the free underground parking garage, but can fill fast during busy times. Be wary of bad drivers on their phones.”

“Give it up for the classic. You will not be dissatisfied with the quality of your pastrami. Location is super clean and fast service. Was here for lunch on a weekday. Sandwich was not salty you could taste the spices. Fresh French fries with horseradish sauce (aioli) well call me a cab - I am done”

“Good pizza and good service”

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour”

“We ordered Taiwanese fried rice noodles, green onion and sesame flatbread, Hakka stir-fry, Shacha beef water spinach and dried lentils.

Hakka stir-fry, it is really fried with dried squid, which is something very few restaurants do. But why stir-fry satay sauce? At first I thought it was dried shredded pork until I tasted dried squid. The dried tofu is cut so well!

Taiwanese fried rice noodles, fried very well, there is no sauce at the bottom of the plate, amazing! ? The rice noodles are very elastic and delicious!

The dry lentils were just average.

I will eat it next time and will continue to order Taiwanese fried rice noodles, Hakka stir-fried rice noodles and other dishes.”

“Read about this in such raving reviews inevitably I swung by and see it for myself. We got there at lunch time near 1p but the place closes at 2p. The first impression was that this is an absolute minimalists' dream. No menu, no decor, no utensils, no price on the wall, no sticker, no label on pre packed food. What you see is what you’d get. Plain plain furniture that Ikea should be impressed. The only menu was above the cashier, and they have the item but literally priceless. I scanned the immediate crowd of a few and thought I probably should be able to afford this place if they could… With that little bit of courage, we pointed and ordered from the board above. The house stew noodle. Looking at the display case, we spotted something weird and we ordered it because it's been a while. We got some marinated baby squids in a plastic tub. Again, priceless. Sat at the barron table equipped with disposable chopsticks we ate. The squid was good. No complaints about that but it’s an entirely acquired taste so you should think before getting it. Then the noodles arrived after a long few minutes. It has the expected fragrance of many spices combined. Presentation was good. Then do learn from my mistake, DO NOT SLURP. The spicy oil will intrude into places least suspected and cause embarrassment if not disaster toward whoever is sitting across. The hot spicy soup tasted as if I had sniffed it. It had depth, not just looking dark and floating a few bits of what would say spice. With that said, getting past not slurping took a few tries as typically noodles go down with a big slurp a la japanese ramen. Avoid such practice here. The meat was surprisingly not dry as I would say having prep the soup with depth typically killed the meat. Probably the soup and the meat met after preparation and not from the start. The noodle was with the right amount of dough density and springlyness. I don't think they made it from scratch but they know how long to cook it and keep from soaking it too long in soup or water. Everything was good. The bill showed up and it was cash only. Surprise! I don’t know why this place could have rated $10 up, the noodle was $20. The squid was $10. The tea was free but hope you like styrofoam cup. The tire company paper- Firestone or something, was on the wall. Strictly for the food. Service was ok. We needed minimal attention in such a setting because it was set up to show it won’t be any.”

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.”

“Delicious restaurant and great atmosphere! 😋”

“Great food. Love their Banh Mi and Spring Rolls.”

“Muy satisfecho con la atención para ser mi primera vez en ese lugar muy rico o comida y todo excelente Muchas felicidades a todos”

“I had marina help me out today , just wanted to say her service was great , she was friendly & helpful ! My food came out fast & hot . Thank you so much .”

“The cashier was very friendly and helpful. They still do the traditional mango cakes here. Many other Asian bakeries in the area no longer do their Mango cakes with actual fruit layered all over the top/outside--they just use mostly mango cream or mousse. This place also has breads, pastries, and a small frozen area with veggie baos and more.”

“Great local hangout! The regulars are fun and the bartenders are entertaining! Great service too!🥰😍😘”

“Came here 2day just to try their spicy noodles n dumplings and it wasn't disappointing.. everything is very good, boss lady is very kind to us n tell us her specialty, very nice lady”

“Excellent meal with enough for leftovers. We had the spicy beef, pan fried dumplings, eggplant/basil, and dry noodles with house special sauce. Great service, despite how busy it was.”

“😘😘😘😘😘The taste is very good.”

“All of the complaints about this place are the competition. The food, and the overall prices are a bargain indeed! The menu is old school delicious!!”

“If you eat the Qinzhen rice noodles here, you will no longer miss home, or you will miss home even more! Soft and chewy, the aroma of chili oil will make you linger!”

“Nestled in the heart of Arcadia, Phoenix Restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey through Southern Chinese desserts and Cantonese comfort food. As a frequent patron, it has become my go-to destination whenever cravings for authentic Cantonese flavors arise.One of the highlights of Phoenix Restaurant is their traditional approach to crafting dishes, exemplified by their exquisite red bean paste soup. Cooked using the time-honored method with dried orange peel and lotus seeds, this dessert embodies nostalgia with every spoonful. The texture of the red bean paste is impeccably balanced, meeting my discerning taste preferences perfectly.For those seeking a savory indulgence, the Yandchow fried rice stands out as a quintessential comfort dish. Bursting with flavor and expertly prepared, each bite offers a comforting embrace reminiscent of home-cooked meals. Whether enjoyed as a standalone delight or paired with other Cantonese classics, the Yandchow fried rice never fails to impress.Beyond the culinary delights, Phoenix Restaurant prides itself on exceptional service that adds to the overall dining experience. Attentive staff members ensure that every visit is met with warmth and efficiency, enhancing the ambiance of the restaurant.Moreover, the reasonable prices at Phoenix Restaurant make it an accessible option for both casual dining and special occasions. With quality cuisine at affordable rates, patrons can indulge in authentic Cantonese fare without breaking the bank.”

“Great tea!!!! Peach Green Tea was just amazing and refreshing.”

“Hit the drive thru. Ordered a surf and turf burrito, which is basically a shrimp burrito with asada. I asked for crema in it but I think they forgot or put too little, but it was still delicious. Been coming here for decades and food is always solid.”

“Great friendly local bar and grill. Extensive menu, great Taiwanese food.”

“It's a classic 50s or 60s local dive cocktail lounge with great dinners that are reasonably priced!”

“I ordered the H6 soup and H1 kimchi pan fried dumplings. Lets start with the soup…have ya’ll ever seen the anime Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma?? Yea, eating here is like that. This soup was so good it blew my socks off. Holy. Moly. Its spicy but it burns sooo good. The broth is rich, thick, layered. The noodles are hand made (according to my waitress). And the premium meat is just perfect. I just found my new spot to eat after work on a cold winter day. One spoonful of this soup will send your taste buds reeling. As you can tell, i really liked it. Spectacular. Give me fourteen of them more.

The kimchi dumplings were really good too. Lol. Oh and they give you hot tea when you sit down. Classic.

P.s. sorry for the half eaten soup pic. It was so good i had to write the review before i finished it.”

“1st time trying the place. I ordered 1 carne asda taco and a Super Veggie burrito. The carne asada taco was absolutely DELICIOUS! The meat was well done just the way I like it and they have the freshest and best Veggie burrito I ever enjoyed! It was massive, but I still devoured it because I never leave food unfinished. Suffice to say I will return to try out their Birria. The salsa roja and Verde were great too. 100% would recommend! The gentleman taking my order was very kind and very honest too! I asked about the flan and he told me the truth behind it lol, I respect that a lot.”

“Very delicious Chongqing old hotpot! The rake beef is highly recommended! The waiter's attitude is also very good, and the Jiugongge is very fragrant ~ I will come again next time.”

“This cafe makes the go to cafe to experience Hong Kong style food. The spam egg sandwich is delicious, most impressive with the softness of bread. The macaroni looks soft but it is also springy . It gives a nostalgic vibe with rich decor of the 70s in Hong Kong. It is perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy great food and old days .”

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.”

“Pepe's Mexican Restaurant is my go to place, great quality food and good service.

Parking: There is plenty of parking on the lot and street parking.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, they offer a kids menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is 3 handicap parking spots, with wheelchair access.”

“if you looking for authentic Indonesian Food, Banana Leaf is the right place 😊”

“A new store has opened here! Now it’s Cantonese food + Malatang. The rice rolls look great and taste good. The addition of chopped peanuts is interesting and the portion is not small, but the soy sauce is not very interesting.The spicy hotpot is super delicious, the soup base is very fragrant, and the ingredients are very tasty. I recommend that it be a little spicy.”

“Orange chicken was good, Egg flower soup very good (and healthy!), fried rice tasted very plain(not worth $15 in my opinion). Between the serving sizes and chicken quality they keep the 5 stars IMO. Check this place out”

“Tiny, Taiwanese cafe was a great place for lunch.This is a cash only business, so come prepared.Everything was prepared to order.Portions are generous. Very friendly service.”

“I came here especially for the name, the dishes are especially delicious, six-star delicious. Like many Chinese restaurants, the dining environment is a bit noisy, and the waiters are friendly but busy. Parking is tight. It is said that the desserts provided before are very delicious, but it is a pity that there are no more. Recommend amber shrimp, fish balls and watercress.”

“This is one of our go to Ramen places in San Diego, we love it! Our kids love it for the free ice cream at the end!”

“customer service and delicious tea ! love this place!”

“Really cozy ambience. Excellent drinks and service. Gets very crowded very often because there isn’t enough seating. Also sells snacks which is a bonus. Combo deal great value.

Drink 4/5
Ambience 5/5”

“Manager does not comply with rules and discouts at this starbucks. Your supposed to get 25 reward points every time you use reusable cup. Staff is not like him”

“I wanted to try this place for the longest time. The No. 44 filled me up, as well as satisfied my taste buds.”

“We visited from Texas and loved every piece 🌟”

“Great green teas bobas and a great place for family games😊”

“Always great place for Korean fried chicken. I know they are a chain, their quality is consistent. I wish they would add more dry rub flavors.
My go to flavors are always golden original, secret spicy (not really that spicy), and their spicy golden original (dry-rub)”

“Only charge 10% tips and 12% for big group. Not bad. Usually we tip 15%. The way they build in the 10% tips is very reasonable and guarantee the employees earn their tips.
Various food choices. Japanese, Chinese, BBQ and American style are provided.
10% discount for 65 and up.
With the lunch price of $24.99 plus tax and 10% build in tips. $30 total will do.
Not sure the food quality of the dinner that charge $41.99. I was told they serve abalone plus some decent seafood. Hum ... If I want to spend $51 for a Chinese dinner buffet ? 😉”
