"The place wasn’t busy but they were definitely understaffed. Which is understandable given that restaurants are currently experiencing shortages of workers so getting our food took a while but it wasn’t bad. The food itself was ok. We had the chicken sandwich sliders that were decent but I’d never order them again. The actual chicken was just bland. The fries were good. We ordered the Spicy Tuna tostadas but they brought us the Pink and Spicy shrimp instead that was honestly the best thing we had so we welcomed the mistake. We had the cheesecake and chocolate butter cake for dessert. The cheesecake was interesting, not at all what I had imagined or described in the menu. It’s had to explain...

Was there during the Vince Neil concert, so very loud. Food and service was excellent. Hard to find the entrance too, as things were fenced off for the Grand Prix. I would return.

Risu is a hidden restaurant in downtown Long Beach. It’s on the second floor between parking garage and apartment. There is no real outside signage so you really have to pay attention. Once you do find it and make it to the second floor you find a small restaurant, mostly outdoors, in the corner of the building on the rainbow walking bridge. It truly has a lot of potential. When we got there we initially sat outside but they had no outside heat source. Once they get that going it really could be amazing. The food is good, although our brussel sports were a little over cooked but I like them that way. The sashimi was on point, the drinks were great and the dessert was excellent. If they can g...

"Aside from loving the food itself, Middle Eastern food is usually a joy for me because there is so much that I, as a vegetarian, can eat. The food we sampled at Ammatoli was excellent, aside from one flaw. The flaw as that the spinach in the otherwise marvelous Spinach Kibbeh was still frozen inside. That should never happen at a restaurant of this quality, especially when their somewhat expensive dishes are justified by that quality. However, the mistake with the kibbeh is not the reason for a mediocre review. It is because, for a vegetarian, it's way too expensive. The three mezza dish, which we ordered, costs $29, which is a sort of a deal when you consider that each mezza is about $14 separately. The portions are modest, so for a normal person who happens to be vegan or vegetarian to have a full meal, it would cost $50 $60. And I'm talking about a meal of chickpeas, eggplant, bulgar. For about $30, on the other hand, an omnivore will have chicken or salmon for a dollar less $28 or lamb for a few dollars more, and that includes two sides: like hummas, which, in the mezza plate, comes to $9.33 per item. $9.33 for two spinach kibbehs, served under cooked. I'm comparing items on the dinner menu for simplicity; but we actually ate during the Happy Hour, which reduced the 3 mezza plate from $29 to $22. How about an actual vegetarian plate with an assortment of 5 or 6 items and a few olives and sticks of pickled beets, with smaller portions than the mezza plate but something that overall is comparable as a meal to what omnivores are offered. A pity that a restaurant that could so easily be vegan and vegetarian friendly is not."
