"So this cafe was a last minute find while myself my girlfriend waited for a quality time spa session for mani pedi. The place was quick, efficient, kind, caring, and the food was delicious. Only knock was that the outside was not available for seating (it was a hot sunny day) but my girlfriend wanted to enjoy the vibes and get good photos but we couldn’t. Otherwise the location was still great seclusive private for a date and conversation amongst a couple. Most definitely would return p.s. the Korean swing on typical SoCal dishes Amazing I.e. Korean bbq tacos and or quesadillas"

"First off, the service is outstanding and the staff are VERY nice. They check on you continuously and fill your drink regularly. The food was very tasty and great quality, I had the prime beef that was fantastic, I had the XXXL portion that was of moderate size but filling but the price was a little high. The fresh ramen noodles were fantastic, the portion was a little bit small but very tasty. The only negative I would say is the variety of vegetables with the meal, it was mainly cabbage and not a lot of variety that other Shabu places serve. I had the citrus broth that was very good and the spam masubi that was also fresh and tasty. All in all I'd say the overall experience was great and I'd come back again."

"I ordered my food today. The food was beef and chicken. I ordered to go and came 20 minutes after I placed my phone order. The hostess working at the store, wasn’t quite rude, but very off putting and not very welcoming. My food was cold to the touch. Looking at the reviews, I expected much much more. For $19 I expected more protein on my food plate. Horrible customer service and for the price, I would like my food, at least warm. The hostess didn’t bother to greet me when I walked in, had a bad attitude and again, my food was cold. I ordered my food 20 minutes before I came in and it seemed it was reheated and not cooked fresh. The reviews is why I came here but it seems they may pay for reviews here because there is no way this place has above 4.5 stars on average. I get better quality of food and service from an old Asian man at Teriyaki Hawaii in Gardena. And the price is much more reasonable with better service from an old man! Don’t come here. Not worth it. Go to a small Filipino restaurant nearby. Better service and better food options. I’m happy to speak with the owners about my experience. Just let me know."

"A must try for sure!!!!!! There desserts are amazing. You can not go wrong with anything. But my favorite is the Pineapple chocolate chip cookie an Pineapple upside down cake. The breakfast was sooo good. It reminded me of being in Hawaii. The staff is on island time for sure. But it's a good thing if your not in a hurry. I haven't been there for lunch yet. But i can't wait to try lunch here."

"I anticipated a small and somewhat shabby tiki bar when I arrived, but this place turned out to be amazing. The sushi served here is excellent, and they offer a variety of upscale snacks, including plenty of fish and sushi options. The live music adds a fun, quirky touch that perfectly matches the atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making for a pleasant experience. It's a great spot for a date. I brought someone special, and while it didn’t blossom into romance—sadly, considering she was both beautiful and hilarious—she just wasn’t into me. Despite my disappointment, I had a fantastic time and would definitely return."

"This place is a gift from God! Hear me out. My dog was diagnosed with aggresive cancer and refeuses to eat anything (steak, peanut butter, cheese, etc) BUT he ate the Katsu Chicken. Yes, my husband and I LOVED the food from Ohana Grille, but the fact that out of EVERYTHING in the world, my dog chose to eat this restaurant's food means so much to us. Thank you for your awesome flavor and magic."

"This place is on my list of “to try” in my Yelp collection for a long time. I was in the area, so I decided to stop. Why not, I've been hunting lawn for a few days. There are about one million options on the menu, so there is a little overwhelming, but you can really not go wrong. I was really glad to see that they had so much to offer. First things first that delicious Pork Chashu Yebisuya Bun!!! It was so amazing and delicious that I got another one. It didn't do it in a minute. I'm thinking of going back, just to get another one. I also have half a chasu don. What I basically rice and porkjau with an egg above. It was also delicious. Different to me because I usually eat not cooked egg, so the texture was initially strange, but the taste was so wonderful, I would definitely recommend. Now to the ramen. I'm an expert. I love it so much, but I wasn't impressed by this. That's so sad because I was so happy with Ramen this week. I liked the noodles they used. The pig was absolutely amazing. It just melted in my mouth. The broth was decent. I don't think I'll try the rams again, but I'll definitely try some other menu options again. They also serve beer, wine and well-being! Not much other to say except go see for yourself! You won't be dissatisfied. There's something for everyone. My server was also really nice! sweet "

"I am thankful for the existence of JT Express! My kids were craving Kona Ice, but the trucks at their school were always too crowded. I thought about taking them to the crepe shop in Japantown for some shaved ice, but sadly it seems like they didn't survive the pandemic. After a quick search, I discovered that JT, located down the block, offers shaved ice. I spoke to the helpful employee there (apologies for not getting his name) who mentioned that they had acquired some machines from the crepe shop. Not only were they half the price of Kona Ice, but they also served double the amount. I hope JT Express remains in business because they are definitely worth a visit and a repeat visit."

"This order was ever, so I didn’t want to under rate the service or atmosphere. It was delivered in a timely manner. I ordered Mongolian beef and mushu pork. The Mongolian beef was good, but the mushu pork was strange. It had very little cabbage and also contained something unrecognizable. It was lacy and reminded me of egg I’ve seen in other dishes. This lacy item was the majority of the dish rather than pork or cabbage. In all of my years, I’ve never seen mushu pork prepared in this manner. It was disappointing. I used to go to China a Go Go quite often when I lived on the other side of town. It was always very good. I’ve ordered from this location a few times and have been disappointed each time. I won’t order from them in the future."

"It’s been a while. It’s seems like they have a good variety of drinks now. They also have lots of nice options for toppings. They offer different flavored crystal boba which is very unique.Wintermelon tea with boba 4/5The wintermelon flavor is still light. Boba was good consistency.Lychee rose tea with matcha crystal boba 5/5Very tasty. I love how you taste both the lychee and rose. The rose is not overpowering but there’s a nice fragrant to it.Egg Puffle Matcha 5/5It came all deformed from delivery but I popped it in the air fryer and it is good as new. It was a good balance of sweetness."

"Well this is my first time eating here so everything I say is preliminary.Taste we had tempura shrimp, edamame, gangsta roll and a spicy chicken teriyaki bowl. The tempura shrimp had great flavor and I liked the panko that was on it but the sauce not so much. The edamame was hot and I liked the rock salt on top, just wish it was mixed in a bowl while evenly seasoning it with the salt before plating. The gangsta roll was decent but the sauces were confusing the flavor and it tasted like a rice candy with a touch of crab flavor at the end. I loved the fact that the chicken was actually grilled, you can taste the fire char and the rice was good too. The veggies on top of the bowl were perfectly crunchy and cooked.Customer Service the service here wasn’t present as much as I thought it’d be, they did seem a bit busy though. We were never asked if we were doing ok or needed anything else. Food came out in decent time and the lighting was a bit dark.Price for 3 tempura shrimp it was $9. Each shrimp is $3 a bit overpriced. If you’d like to serve the shrimp, I’d recommend 3 for $7 and 5 for $10. The edamame was average price for the amount but honestly it was a lot of food for an appetizer. You can save money and food waste if you give two options for edamame, a single and a share option, try and do that, trust me it will work for the best. The roll was priced like any other sushi place, not much to say. The spicy chicken teriyaki was the best priced for the quantity. I wasn’t able to finish it and it had a lot of rice as well.In conclusion, I’d like to try this place again knowing what I know now. I hope owner/management looks into what I said and I think this place has potential. Cheers!"

"Wish I would have reviews below before I came here. I've been to this place before and to the L&L and never seen someone so rude. I asked to for Lumpia when I ordered and when I got them I asked for the red sweet and sour sauce I was always given whenordered in past and she tried to charge 50centd for what looked like a tiny container not even filled up not even equivalent toa teaspoon. I said it should come with Lumpia and she said it does but not with egg rolls. I advised I did order Lumpia. She wasrude with her facial expressions and laughed. I won't be going back there the prices are outrageous and food not that great. GoTo Aloha kitchen."

"I saw a lot of great reviews, so I was looking forward to my visit. However, while waiting at the front door for assistance, I noticed a Chinese waitress moving dirty dishes around and setting up a table without bothering to clean the tea cups from the previous customers. It seems that what you don't see doesn't hurt, right? I couldn't stay after witnessing that and ended up walking out. I wish I had recorded it because it would have made for a very unfavorable video—one that could have easily ended up on the morning news. My family and I saw that and decided to leave. Please make sure to check your tea cup!"

"This restaurant offers a great menu, and everything I've tried has been incredibly delicious. I had the spicy chicken plate this time, which was served in generous portions and packed with flavor. The service was quick for takeout, and the staff was very friendly. They even have an in-store section with a variety of imported products from Japan. I’m definitely planning to pick up some things from there on my next visit. I will absolutely be returning!"

"I was excited to see what the whole bozz was about Shin-Sen-Gumi, and ate my first meal there on Sunday night and made me feel quite disappointed. The rams and other dishes, although not bad, were also not spectacular. The ramen soup base is lighter/less tasteful/almost bland (not like Santouka's rich, pork fat, tasteful base soup), and the rug itself is the thin noodle (like some) and together the rugs was simply Jane for me. I also ordered a fried egg topping, and it came half raw. Fortunately, waiting was minimal at 6pm (although it picked up over the next half hour) and street parking lots were plentiful and the service was brusque still professional. We went mainly because it is a casual setting of child-friendly loud atmosphere, as the waiters/kitchen welcome you loudly in Japanese while you travel in and out. Overall, I was not impressed by Shin-sen-gumi in W.LA and will probably not make another visit at this point, unless entertaining guests interested in trying their knight. Sad. Oh, good."

"I want to start by saying that I am someone who eats high quality sushi on a regular basis, at a level of $200-300 per person. So, I just want to make it clear that my perspective may differ from those who love this restaurant. I ordered the 21-piece sashimi, crunch roll, tamago, hotate, negihama, ika shiso maki, and hakkaisan JG. The fish cuts were extremely large, to the point where it was difficult to fit the sashimi in my mouth comfortably. While some may prefer quantity over quality, I believe that sashimi should be enjoyed bite by bite. The nigiri pieces were also quite large, requiring two bites instead of the traditional one. The rice was overcooked and slightly softer than it should be, with a slightly higher level of vinegar. My son enjoyed his crunch roll. The 21-piece sashimi is shareable among 3 people, with each piece being 2-3 bites in size. The wasabi lacked flavor, the ginger was subpar, and the soy sauce was standard low sodium. In terms of quality, it was comparable to a buffet, with the tuna lacking brightness in color and the escolar tasting fishy. The yellowtail was good, but the negihama lacked flavor and had a low fish to rice ratio. Overall, the experience felt like a restaurant version of genki/kura. The service was friendly and prompt. Although I usually avoid writing negative reviews, I do think this restaurant is a good choice for those looking for high protein and large portions of fish, especially in the sashimi pieces, at a reasonable price. The $55 price tag is definitely worth it. I wish the server had informed me of the size of the portions, as I would have opted for a smaller sashimi plate. Despite mentioning that it was my first time dining there, I received no heads up."
