“First visit here. Absolutely loved it. The albacore sashimi should really be renamed a carpaccio. Thinly sliced premium seared albacore with a tangy delicious ponzu sauce. With more than 10 slices, it's the perfect delicacy to share with someone special. Everything else here was super fresh and tasty. The ambience is dark & comfy and the customer service was friendly, quick & efficient. I found my new favorite spot for sushi.”

“Came on their first Sunday brunch BUFFET, which we were not expecting, but were pleasantly surprised. The American breakfast fare was pretty boring and unexceptional (scrambled eggs overcooked, potatoes undercooked, etc.), but the Mexican food was ON POINT. Chilaquiles, tacos, and omelettes made to order. Fresh pozole and ceviche. Bottomless mimosas and micheladas (I opted to order a margarita, which was extra, but SO WORTH IT. The Guavarita with fresh guava, lime and pineapple was AMAZING.) The service was great. They accommodated my stroller and baby solicitously (and didn't freak out when I accidentally spilled powdered formula on the ground lol). The manager gave us a tour of all the buffet stations (including a chocolate fountain). Waiter checked in on us regularly and refilled drinks often. The chef himself even ran back to the kitchen to grab some cotija for my chilaquiles (note: would be cool to have cotija and queso fresco for chilaquiles as opposed to a shredded blend). Only complaint is that they kept reminding us that we only had 2 hours to eat and then giving us a count down, like “you have 20 minutes left” “you've got 5 more minutes.” Why are you trying to get rid of us? It's not like we were trying to stay until dinner time lol. We had just one plate of food each and there were plenty of empty tables. If you had made us feel welcome to stay and chat, we would have probably ordered more drinks. It detracted from the experience and felt kinda low rent, which made the price per head seem extra. Definitely will go back, but maybe just order a plate off the menu so I'm not being timed while I eat.”

We got it with brisket, it was actually super high quality and would definitely get it again. I also ordered coleslaw to go cause the pictures looked nice and creamy. But the star of the show was the BBQ Mac and Cheese.”

12556 Lambert Rd Suite B, Whittier

“I used Pin Up Cakes for my wedding and loved how my cake turned out! Everything was done online and was super easy. I sent them inspiration pictures of what I wanted and for how many people. I wanted a smaller cake for just me, my husband and our wedding party as we were doing sheet cake for the guests. After sending the pictures, they gave me different options and broke it down by how much each would cost. I loved that they did that!Since I wanted a 2 tier cake, but it was only for 12 people, they gave me the option to make the top tier out of styrofoam to cut costs! They also gave me options on if I wanted them to make flowers out of fondant, or I could bring them flowers and they would put it on, or I could have my florist do it at the venue. This also helped cut cost.I ended up with a strawberry cake with chocolate frosting and it was so delicious! I’m not a big fondant person so I was worried I wasn’t going to like that part, but it was honestly so thin and not super sweet which I was very happy about.”
