"Found this place out of some nowhere blog recommendations and it took me some effort to convince my husband to give it a try. It is just hard to find authentic Taiwanese food here in LA. And out of our surprises, it is more than just good... As a born Taiwanese, I can confidently say the food reminded me of my hometown especially the mochi. It tasted exactly like the one I had in my childhood. Lol And the Dan-Dan noodle, hot/sour soup are also very very delicious. And big plus to the service/staffs here, they are so friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back!"

"Expensive, but based on the service food and atmosphere I?m not sure I found it quite worth it, although some of the dishes were very good. Very casual vibe. Kind of a chaotic atmosphere. There were like 5 staff for every guest, and SO many open tables but they apparently still couldn?t seat us outside without a reservation so be sure to get one. My advice based on my last experience: come for the pizza, not the pasta. The margarita pizza was delicious! Loved the thin crust. They serve the pasta on plates instead of bowls to give you less of a portion. My boyfriend?s pasta with butter, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of Parmesan was very expensive and very good (can you really f that up? Lol). I wish I could unorder my squash ravioli, which was bland and unbalanced. I even asked for salt, pepper, and cheese after to try and give it some flavor, but to no avail. It was like the chefs totally forgot to salt the dish while cooking it. For the two of us (no alcohol and not very much food between 3 entrees), our bill was over $90, and we didn?t leave that full, so prepare for that if you?re hungry."

"I had a great experience at this restaurant! My favorite dishes were the Spicy Peanuts, Dan Dan Noodles, and Soy Eggs. The Kabocha Squash Potstickers had a perfect crispy texture on the outside. The Passion fruit green tea was just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be ordering these dishes again."

"A wonderful Italian restaurant with good food, amazing service and a homey ambiance! Would highly recnd it recommend it to everyone!"
Cafés • Casual • Coffee • Coffee & Tea
"beautiful new coffee spot similar to the intellectual. the total coffee is good, beautiful seating and ambiente. eating is also good, with several good sandwiches, suppening and salads. I also tried the cortado that was good - unfortunately not as good (or as cheap) as those in Cuba."
Tea • Cafés • Juice • Ramen
"the sunright tea studuo is located in the same plaza as dieucks, right next to Shin-Sen-Gumi hakata ramen, is my new favorite Boba place. my personal favorites are strawberry frostie, grapefruit frostie (not on the wall menu, but they will find it in the kiosk menu), orange yogurt and grapefruit yogurt. drink is about $5 $6 per. I wanted to try her oreo brûlée, but it was sold out so I couldn't try. the line to order kiosk in the self-order was somehow long because one of the self-ordering kiosk machine was broken, but once I put my order, my drink came out in less than 5 minutes. many seats inside (there are also seats above). parking is free for an hour in the office depot parking with validation (survey to get the stamp)."
Thai • Salad • Wraps • Chicken
"This restaurant operates as a ghost kitchen, where customers order using iPads and then the food is packaged as if it is for delivery. Unfortunately, this results in a significant amount of plastic and bags being wasted, evidenced by the many discarded containers in the trash. The non-recyclable cutlery and excessive packaging further added to the environmental impact. The high price of the salad only added to the disappointment, especially considering the excessive plastic waste. Overall, I preferred my experience at Panera, where the use of plastic is not as excessive."
Salad • Vegetarian • Sandwiches • Chicken Shop
"Disappointed. Got the wrong item order, which was suggested by the server so it makes it worse. My sandwich wasn't that great. Nothing about it warrants the price that I paid. Had high hopes too. Just really upset with my visit."

"I don't know how they do it. what a magic that is. I have not eaten mcdonalds since childhood, but they somehow replicated the taste of mcdonalds and actually improved on it as it is an improved idealized non-fat version of mcdonalds. our favorites here is the vegan chicken sandwich. it's insanely good. the double mcfrowny burger is also very good, but perhaps ask them to just go to ketchup. the nuggets are sooo sooo good, especially with the green sauce. their fries are also good. we also love the packaging, very sweet."
Sushi • Asian • Asiatic • Seafood
"One of the best Pokes I've ever had. Get the big one when you enjoy eating like I do! Everything was fresh. The staff was really nice. I was on the phone with my Bf, who was appointed for me, and they were patient and sweet. Remember that Poke is mostly about good combinations. Some things do not fit together while others do. The house and honey-manano sauces are really good. I have white rice with salmon and tuna. Seetangsalate, cherry tomatoes, carrots, avocado and mandarins (I bet mangos would also perfectly combine but they were out), green onions, fried onions, furikake, sesame seeds and mixed nuts as dry toppings"
Casual • Korean • Chicken • Catering
"I had high hopes for Kyochon, my once-favorite spot for Korean fried chicken in Koreatown, but unfortunately, my recent experience has been disappointing. While the restaurant was once a standout in the area, it now falls short of the competition. The prices have increased, but the quality has gone downhill. With so many other great options in the neighborhood, it's hard to justify the cost of the meal at Kyochon.The chicken drumsticks were a particular letdown; they were skinny and lacking in meat, which made for a disappointing meal. Overall, while I used to love this restaurant, I can no longer recommend it as a top choice for Korean fried chicken in Koreatown."
Lunch • Korean • Coffee • Chicken
"The best KFC (Korean fried chicken) in LA, HANDS DOWN! This tiny hole-in-the-wall in a busy shopping plaza with $3 valet is so worth the visit. If I lived closer I'd be a regular for sure! The only employee is Director Gol Tong who does everything from wiping down tables, frying up the chicken and plating it all, and checking you out when it's done, and he does it all with the friendliest, welcoming attitude. The chicken is crispy with such delicious sauces from a chili sauce that is like a plum flavored tangy spicy sauce, to a delicious and addictive soy garlic, and a creamy sweet honey mustard. Love all the fresh fruit, avocado and peppers on top that go with the chicken! Do not miss out on this spot. You can also order to-go if you're in a rush, or if there are no tables available and you're craving some delicious fried chicken."
Coffee • American • Bakeries • Desserts
"Was looking for something sweet after eating at Lee Ga. The afogato sounded good but when asked how many fluid ounces, the answer was kind of vague. She just said it 's two scoops of ice cream and espresso . The Spanish latte was great. Not too sweet. Lavender milk tea was a hit with my sister.Parking: it 's always a valet parking situation. It 's $3. So I 'm not sure how just getting coffee would play out. Funny story: some strange man decided to park his car blocking the parking lot entrance while getting coffee. It was a mess. So I guess don 't be like that guy?"

"This was a wonderful surprise! I was meeting a friend who was staying in the area, and my friend is very into K-Pop so I thought Korean food would be perfect! When I drove up and saw that this restaurant was in a tiny strip center with not much parking, I did not have much hope. Once the food arrived, all worries were gone! Everything was so good and the lady working there was truly lovely. My friend had the chicken bowl and I had one of their trays with spicy chicken. I was hungry but was amazed (I normally take half home) when I ate everything. It was really good! We highly recommend the restaurant!"
Cafés • Bagels • American • North American
"Belle’s bagels are so tasty! If I could eat them every day, I would. I love that they make them fresh every day. All of their flavors are delicious but my personal favorite is the sesame bagel. I love the vegan cream cheese and they’re super generous with all of the toppings. Their staff is great, always so friendly and they do a great job getting your bagel made fast even when they’re really busy. 11/10 would eat at Belle’s again."
Steak • American • Steakhouse • Bar-Lounge
"Baltaire is an exceptional experience. The space and ambiance are amazing. Staff and management on point. They do American Steakhouse they way it should be done. Mac n Cheez is best in city. Everything in shareable portions which is great for party of 4 or 6. Plenty of space so you feel quite private even though there are many people in the massive dining hall. King Crab Louie and Lobster Cobb were 5 star as well as the delicious crispy fries. Meat, Meat, Meat is the way to go and they have what you need to succeed! Perfectly seared, charred, and temperature correct. The quality is supreme with beautiful marbling producing flaky, juicy bites. If more is needed, there’s cheese. One of best cheese selections in the city, an oft overlooked but wonderful way to finish off that 2nd bottle. Do yourself a favor and get the beignets for dessert."

"Really interesting menu. The food was outstanding if very very pricey. And they slip a surcharge in there too…not for the waitstaff."

"Phenomenal Italian food! They have a gluten-free menu that you do have to ask for but has a large selection! My girlfriend, who has a bad allergy to gluten, had the best time there with me! We shared a gluten-free spinach and artichoke dip with their bread, and I have never had gluten-free bread that good and soft! The dip was very good too. My girlfriend had the gluten-free chicken carbonara and it was exceptionally good! They make it with a chickpea breading. I had their regular gnocchi and it was super soft and the spices added were very flavorful!"
