    Food stall
    Denise K.

    So I had their little egg pastries at the Japanese Festival in Costa Mesa. They have a food stall and there was a very long line. I waited for almost 45 mins to get these baby Castella nuggets. It was pretty good. Not too sweet and very spongy. But I felt it need to cook just a little more. They have 5 flavors but I got the custard one. It's made fresh so that was nice. I got it for $10 for 15 PCs not sure if that was the festival price or normally this is how much they charge. But give it a try it's quite yummy.

    What a pleasant surprise at the Farmers Market. I honestly wasn't expecting to find pizza of this…read morequality there, but wow -- they actually bake the pizzas in a real brick oven, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The dough was fantastic: fluffy, chewy, and perfectly textured with that slight crisp on the outside. The toppings tasted incredibly fresh and balanced instead of overloaded or greasy like a lot of places tend to do. I ordered the Bánh Xèo pizza, which was such a creative twist on the classic Vietnamese dish, and it completely worked. The flavors were unique, bold, and surprisingly addictive. I ended up gobbling down the whole pizza before I even realized it because it was that good. I'll be honest -- the pizza is a little pricey for the size. But after eating it, I totally understood why. I'd much rather pay for a thoughtfully made pizza with quality ingredients than a cheaper mass-produced chain pizza that tastes forgettable five minutes later. What makes this place even better is the setting. You'd expect to find pizza like this at a trendy sit-down restaurant, not casually available at a local farmers market. Being able to grab something this fresh, artisanal, and delicious while walking around the market makes the whole experience feel special and approachable at the same time. Definitely one of the best food surprises I've had at a farmers market in a long time.

    I tried the stone fruit and grape Waldorf pizza, today! The flavors were exceptional! This pizza…read moretakes away the sweet tooth cravings post meal. It's all in one!

It has three different areas where you can order different food when you arrive. You will see the food truck. Go there and order any soup, ceviche tostada, any heavy food. I order ceviche and oh boy! this is the best ceviche I have ever tried for 2026!! The price was another thing that really surprised me since when you bought a bigger size of ceviche can go up to more than $60 to my surprise this place give me a very good deal which I do appreciate. This place has been in my head the whole week, servers are very kind patience and give you a lot of options so you can get what you want, after ordering my ceviche I went inside the restaurant now which is the building and they have one section of only ice cream lollipops oh my God they have three times more options than any other places. If you go around where the tables are outside, you will see a little window where you can order any kind of Agua fresca and other snack snack. please go and visit this restaurant. This is a very unique Mexican flavor restaurant You will be amazed by the variety and the taste of the food. they have plenty of parking lot, but I've heard that they can run out of parking lot since a lot of people can come in and out but most people do order and takeout since this Restaurant do not have an AC.

The staff moves fast, smiles hard, and somehow remembers your order better than you do. Blink too slow and your order will pass you up. It's chaotic in the best "my family is loud but loving" way. This spot is open till 2am on Friday and Saturday. Imagine a place that says, "We're here to feed you, not impress you with mood lighting." It's bright, lively, and filled with the soundtrack of sizzling food, and orders constantly being called. The décor is simple, clean but the vibe is pure Gardena comfort, no pretension, just flavor and vibes. If you have those late night cravings for street food? Oh, it's dangerous. The kind of good where you take one bite and immediately start tearing into the rest with such joy and comfort. Every dish tastes like it was made by someone who refuses to let you leave hungry. The flavors slap, the portions are generous, and the tortillas taste like they were handcrafted by angels who specialize in carbs. Oh, how could I not talk about the drinks and desserts, this is something you need to see for yourself, words cannot describe the things they have for that sweet tooth craving. Mmmm, pure heaven!

The booth is well lite up and at the corner. There's a dirt road on the side for parking. If you pass the booth you will have to u-turn back. I ordered a carne asada and a cabeza taco. The dude looked at me like that's it and I'm like yeah just trying you out. The carne asada taco was good 7/10 but the cabeza taco was amazing 9/10. It looks like the corn tortillas are hand made and there's all the essentials on the side. Dude was right I should of ordered more tacos lol. No worries I'll be back next Tuesday :) Tacos are $3 each and there's a small dining table good for like 4 people to share.

    My partner and I have had our eyes on this place for a while because the concept of…read moreAfrican-Filipino fusion just sounds delicious... but dragging my partner out of bed early on a Sunday to head to the farmers' market in the Redondo Beach Riviera has been a struggle. Today I was able to make the near impossible happen and we got to the market before it got busy (around 10am). I ordered the goat stew whereas my partner (who is Filipino) just wanted to check out their food. As such he got the salmon. The goat stew reminded me of a flavorful and creamy, Indian curry and the meat was very tender. The owner said to be careful of bones but I encountered none. Meanwhile the salmon was well cooked, soft and not dry. The sauce itself had a pleasing sourness to it but the hot sauce on the side really kicked up the flavor. It reminded us of a creamy Tabasco with a myriad of other flavors like garlic and onions. Ironically, the salmon had bones. The side salad was sweet in a good way with quartered grapes providing the main sweetness. The rice had a nice flavor profile rich with tomato--it reminded us of a cross between a creole rice and Spanish rice... but also not? We don't quite know how to describe it but it was good. If I'm ever able to get my partner up early again on a Sunday, we'll be sure to go back! I hope they eventually open a brick and mortar store. Tip: Buy a bottle of the hot sauce if you remotely like hot sauce. If you buy online, the shipping alone is the cost of buying a bottle in person.

The shaved ice was incredibly light and fluffy, and the combination of fresh blueberries, yogurt, and granola made it refreshing without being overly sweet. The Hojicha Bingsoo was a nice contrast. The roasted tea flavor paired really well with the sweet red bean and crispy puffed rice, making it a great choice if you enjoy deeper, earthy flavors. That said, if I had to pick just one, I'd still go with the Matcha Bingsoo - it remains my favorite here. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the café was clean and inviting. If you're craving bingsoo, Noon Korean Bingsoo is the place to go. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I usually go to Oakobing in Ktown, but I'm so happy to have a place this good much closer to home. My husband and I recently stopped by for the injeolmi bingsoo, and it absolutely blew my mind. It came topped with red beans, a rich peanut butter-like paste (I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it was delicious), a generous dusting of injeolmi powder, and condensed milk on the side to drizzle over everything. As you dig into the fluffy shaved ice, you're rewarded with surprise chunks of chewy mochi hidden throughout, and I believe there were even more red beans waiting at the bottom. Every bite was packed with flavor and texture. It was so good that I'm craving another bowl just thinking about it. *Drools* I'm not sure how busy it gets during the day since we've only visited after dinner, but we've always found plenty of parking. It's the perfect dessert spot to cool off on a hot summer evening, and definitely one I'd recommend if you're in the area.
