We went with the small mango bingsoo and immediately regretted not getting the large. To be fair, the small is actually a great portion for the price--but it's so ridiculously good that you're going to wish you had more. Lesson learned. Staff was friendly, the place was super clean, and it's just an easy spot to relax and enjoy something sweet. Definitely coming back... and next time, we're not making that "small" mistake again.

Why 5 stars? Because I'm pretty much an auto 5-star when it comes to bingsoo…read more --- --- --- I cannot recall ever having a bingsoo or any concoction of legit shaved ice that was not a 5-star experience for me. Was this the best I've ever had? No, but it was still refreshing and a great way to cap off my dinner with something sweet. The main piece of constructive feedback I'd offer is that when you fill the bowl so high that a strong breath causes some to spill onto the table, I think I speak for most patrons when I say we'd take 5-10% less bingsoo for a dramatic decrease in spillage chances. But the mango was a solid experience, even with sticky hands from said spillage.

Sweet Rice is my #1 restaurant that I recommend to everyone to try!…read more Everything here tastes so good and since it's more of a "breakfast" spot, it has items on the menu that your typical Thai restaurant doesn't have. My go-to items are the Thai Omelette with Shrimp, Roast Duck Noodle Soup, Tom Yum noodle soup, and Cha Manao which is Thai Tea with Lime. Gardena has so many great restaurants and Sweet Rice is such a great addition to the community! The plaza that it's in has other yummy restaurants and boba/dessert as well.

I usually get the beef option and it's perfect with the coconut curry broth, crunchy fried noodles, and fresh veggies all working together so well. I also love dining in because they offer a variety of spice options. There's even a little setup with jars of different chilies and spices so you can adjust the heat to your liking. My husband wanted something sweet so we shared the mango sticky rice and it was so addicting especially with warmer weather starting to roll in. It really feels like summer is on the way !!! On top of the food, the customer service is always so kind and attentive. 10/10 highly recommend!

Rinka explained each course, made recommendations, chatted and got to know our group and was very personable. Food was amazing as well. Enjoyed all the different cuts of wagyu beef. What was great is that each guest can custom their own experience or go with either of the 3 omakase style menu. In our party of 6, we were not all subject to picking just one experience for all- you can select one that is preferential to you. We did have our child with us who enjoys these things and being able to choose a lighter experience for the younger guests was truly nice. You can order ala carte as well and still enjoy the experience. Some of us chose the Butcher's omakase while others chose the more premium one with sake pairings. My favorite from the cuts were the tongue and the short rib! We were definitely full after the meal! Definitely worth coming back for!

This place has the best reviews around for churros so we gave it a try. Sunday afternoon and it was empty. Only one lady in front of us. Only one person tending both the cashier and kitchen. Took about 30min to get our churros and funnel cake. I can't imagine when it's more packed, hopefully there's more people working. The gunner cake was a 9/10, I usually don't finish them because they are too oily. This one was perfect, but they put on too much strawberry sauce, the funnel cake was too wet with it. I'll ask for less next time. The churros were 10/10, much better than the ones we get elsewhere I also got a café de olla and that one was very yummy but a little too sugary for my liking. Will definitely be back to try more items from here!!

Greeted like family by Scott as we placed our order. We haven't been here since it changed…read moreownership; we enjoyed it when it was Aloha Pizza. We're already big fans of Aunty Maile's, so we were excited to support this business and drive from South OC here. We love that they expanded the menu to include plate lunches and all the familiar goodies from Aunty Maile's. We came at 3 pm, and it was crowded. There was a band playing - 4 uncles playing familiar, great music and harmonizing so beautifully. An aunty got up to do a beautiful hula dance. It's almost as if we're back on the islands at a family luau. For the first round, we ordered 2 large pizzas (one for to-go), and 4 plate lunches for the 6 of us. A couple new dishes for us here are spicy miso tofu and char siu chicken. For the tofu, I substituted rice and Mac salad for a garden salad. Oh, my goodness! Their salad dressing is amazing! It has a hint of sweetness and tartness and then bam!..the fresh garlic! Yum! Tofu was good, too! Hubby had the char siu chicken with all rice and no Mac salad. It came with a side of hot mustard. Truly onolicious! Only ask for next time is extra hot mustard. For dessert round, we got a dozen malasadas - 6 "simple kine" and 6 "filled," and a shave ice. Everything was great - food, service, and atmosphere. Oh, I forgot to mention that they hosted a pet adoption outside. So, on top of that, they're people with great hearts.
