"As David Chang has noted, you wouldn?t expect such bomb food in a bowling alley, but lo and behold, Gardena Bowl Coffee Shop exists. Came here on a Monday evening with two other friends around 6:30pm and the parking lot was already full. There is street parking available. The restaurant is unassuming but the food is delicious and portions are generous. Credit cards are accepted. You order at the counter first and then sit down. Indoor dining only. Takeout is also available. I got the Hawaiian Royal, which everyone seems to get for their first visit. It?s on the sweeter side (which is good for me) and very filling I had a very hearty lunch the next day. My friends got the loco moco and garlic chicken respectively, and both liked their food a lot. The garlic chicken in particular has good flavor and comes with rice, mac salad, and broccoli. The employees were nice and everyone eating there seemed to be a local. Overall, it?s got hole in the wall vibes, but you won?t regret coming here."

"My co-workers and I found this sushi place for lunch down the way. We walked in and were greeted, not so pleasant, but figured the guy energy would have changed. He gave us to menus and to wait outside until the customer before us was done ordering. He forgot about us after five minutes, and that 's when we went in because he probably got busy. I would say right off the bat that he is unaccountable for his actions and has no sense of any customer service. After checking my receipt, I noticed the total was not the same as my fellow co-workers. I then asked him about the price total, and he advised, His system is set up to a certain percentage to charge. Which I assumed he 's price gouging from his response. After inquiring, he then started yelling at us because he did not give us the correct menu when we initially walked in because the prices were not updated to the current price since 6months ago on the to go menus he gave us when we first entered. I never felt so disrespected and unease because of an owners or managers error. He snatched the menus from us, yelled, and was flustered because we asked for our correct change back because that 's not the price we were charged. I understand people have bad days, but to yell in your establishment over pricing that you did not update and gave information to us and we bring it to your attention is very unprofessional and disrespectful. Please know you will never get my business again over your error and not take accountability, nor will I ever recommend your establishment to my fellow co-workers or any individual. Please work on your customer service and respect level. To note, we still accepted the food after all this happened, which I should have returned it and never returned after his first initial greeting."

"Bossa Nova charges for everything. You can't even get a refill on soda or lemonade without a fee. There's even a $3 charge to split the check.While the menu is pretty expansive, it's filled with stipulations in fine print on the back.When we checked in, the young lady at the front told us we could wait in our car for a seat. She definitely wasn't friendly or welcoming.Our food was average. The Sunny side up egg in my bowl was hard and my steak was overcooked, even though I asked for medium rare. My daughter wanted to build her own pizza, but at $16 and $2.50 per ingredient, we talked her into the mushroom truffle pizza instead. The pizza was good. Again, it was just off-putting to be charged for everything.Bossa Nova, charge more if you must and make people feel welcomed. People don't want to feel nickeled and dimed when they sit down for a meal.Parking: Parking in the back is limited and very tight."

"This restaurant deserves at least higher than 4.3 stars!!! The chicken tikka masala was sooooooo delicious!!! I loved that the sauce was a nice thick texture. I paired it with the yellow rice (which comes with vegetables) but it was a great combination. Just really tasteful. Looking to comeback!
