Food looks great but bring salt with you because everything was bland. I was so excited to try the place but we even ordered a variety of items form menu but nothing tasted as it looked. Fatoush salad was missing the fatoush seasoning it was just a mix in of veggies. The steak was ..not good! The veggies that came with it no flavor no salt no seasoning . Yellow curry .. no salt and overpowering flavor of lemon grass. I hate to leave bad reviews for my places but we drove all the way here for the hype and left disappointed with the food. Maybe this was a one of thing but I'd give it a 3 star

They have a large lot and there is street parking available as well. Food- The Turkish eggs were tasty, although not completely filling. I'd put them at a 4/5. I've tried most of their tea cakes as well as the cookies and I would give them a blanket 5/5 with the note that the vegan tea cakes tend to be very dense. The fries are better than the potatoes imo, I'd put the fries at a 5/5. Drinks- I love the Arnold Palmer, it's not too sweet. It has a nice tang from the lemonade that balances it just perfectly 5/5. My boyfriend enjoyed the Moroccan mint. I thought it was decent. If you enjoy a strong mint flavor, I'd recommend it.

Made the drive from Studio City to Dune for Dine LA lunch. It was 98 degrees outside and although…read morethere was no traffic midday, parking in Atwater is always a challenge. I hunted a bit before tracking down a spot and paying the meter. I have not been to Dune before, but the value of the lunch special along with the promise of a fried chicken shawarma, coupled with unexpected free time, sounded like a promising moment to stop by. Walked up to the window and after no acknowledgement, I peaked inside the door and asked whether I place an order at the counter or wait to be seated. When I tell you the jarring elder Gen Z stare and incredibly unfriendly direction to sit on the bench and wait my turn (in the literal sense that I was told to sit on the bench and wait my turn. There was only a party of 2 seated at the bench and no line to speak of) made me regret coming out to eat entirely. I'm not lying when I say I thought about leaving immediately and driving home in my air conditioned car instead of sitting on a hot bench in nearly 100 degree weather with no acknowledgement of party size, no offer for a drink or water while I wait, and just existing in my bizarre humiliation ritual for having asked what the procedure is here for any kind of recognition of my interest in dining or simply existing. And yes, after sitting down I saw there is a small low contrast sign on a post stating to sit on the bench and wait, but it is positioned parallel to the counter window and only when turning away from the glass toward the seating area was it placed in a way that I would see it. Not very useful for someone who is walking up or down the sidewalk as it's not visible. I held my breath for about 10 minutes before being asked my party size (one) and seated at a shaded table. I regretted my choice to dine out the entire wait time for the table, while ordering and then being required to pay upfront before my meal was even presented to me, while seated awaiting my order, while my food (loaded fries, fried chicken shawarma, date shake and an added unsweetened iced green mint tea) was dumped at once on the table in front of me, while eating feeling humiliated for existing inside human skin, and again when having to walk to the window and ask for a to-go box. I felt like a massive inconvenience for the staff and fully regretted bothering them every step of the way for normal things like a Dine LA menu which was not initially offered, adding an iced tea to my order, existing in a metal folding chair and generally taking up space. I don't like being treated like a turd by people, and certainly don't want to be treated this way when I'm paying for a service. But after the initial flubbed interactions, demanding payment with tip upfront before receiving any kind of service was rendered, and then dumping my food at the table without ceremony, it's truly no wonder why the LA restaurant scene is dying. Between poorly trained staff, rising costs in rent and utilities, the outrageous cost of staffing and the fact that eating at a restaurant is completely unnecessary when cutting household expenses, restaurants are disappearing left and right. Some of the foods I still dream about are lost forever to closure after closure. Customers being treated like they're inconsequential isn't the only reason people like me usually choose to dine at home, and it's not the only reason restaurants are disappearing. But it's one of the only controllable elements in a world of runaway hospitality expenses. Customers deserve even a modicum of respect if restaurants are going to survive. $48 for the meal including tax and tip. More than enough food for lunch, I took home half. Loaded steak fries / wish they were served with a whipped feta or dipping sauce instead of ketchup but they're good. Generous portion of steak. 9/10 Fried chicken shawarma / fun idea, execution made it difficult to pick up to eat. Serving in a metal basket made it impossible to cut in half since there was not a solid surface to cut against. Flavor is yummy, wish those middle eastern flavors were more prominent in the batter but the chicken is extra crispy. Enjoyable. 8/10 Date shake / luxurious, creamy, flavorful. No notes. 10/10 Unsweetened green mint iced tea / overpriced, underdelivered. I'd skip it unless you're parched. 5/10 **written without the assistance of AI**

Is it worth waiting in line for more than 15m? Absolutely not. But again, the food is great. Street parking though is always tricky depending on the time of your visit. Bacon Egg and Cheese - For a breakfast sandwich, it smacks. I wasn't so certain about the bread ratio but I was so wrong-- the roll is perfectly soft, and the egg, bacon, and cheese come together perfectly. No real notes here. Sausage Egg and Cheese - If you like sausage, get this one. But if you're undecided, just go with bacon. I'll get myself a blood orange donut every now and again. They're priced a little high but I would say that you certainly get what you pay for.

It's gluten heaven. We got there early so we were limited to the breakfast morning (cold sandwiches available at 10 am and the rest at 11 am). We tried the biscuits and gravy, the toast and jam, bacon, sausage, crisp, and the cinnamon bun. Everything was heavy, decadent, and very good. The biscuit and gravy and the jam (which is made in house) were particular favorites. Definitely not an every week meal (or even a month), but great for a cheat.

We've tried the Ian Glass (added protein) and the Larry Mantle, and a friend got the Terry Gross. We've also tried the sides Mr. Beans and the Aloha Pasta Salat. Everything has been so good and so fresh! My fav is the Ian Glass by far! It was so good and so filling. The price is pretty fair for a solid sandwich with good ingredients. Service is quick and easy, no frills. You stand in line, order, and then wait. You cannot and should not go back in line to check on the status of your order. When they're ready for you, you'll know. There are a few tables outside, so grab a seat and enjoy your sandwich! Tip: order online for pick up if you're short on time! But if you're really short on time, this probably isn't the place to go for you. Since we've biked here, I don't have any experience with street parking, but since it's in a residential area, it always looks full. So be aware of street parking! You may need to circle around a few times.

tl;dr the tongue-in-cheek sandwiches are more pricey than palatable; the expense is more memorable…read morethan the flavor Frogtown's Wax Paper made waves upon its debut in 2015, when it named its sandwich lineup after public radio personalities. Beyond a laugh, the grab-and-go sandwiches have earned praise from news outlets including Eater and the Los Angeles Times, and Wax Paper has expanded to a second location in Chinatown. Wax Paper makes it home within a repurposed shipping crate. A watermelon pink-and-green striped sign is one of the few markers for the otherwise hidden storefront. The interior has been off-limits since COVID, but you can grab a seat at the adjacent canopied patio. Narrow wooden benches are pressed up tightly to rickety tables. The low buzz of side street traffic intermittently interrupts conversation. My fiancee and I arrived for early weekend lunch and placed the day's first in-person order. Some 30 minutes later, we received a text that our food was ready. Of our sandwiches, we preferred the Garth Trinidad. The citrusy slaw and sliced almonds made a statement, even if the sliced turkey occasionally dominated the flavor profile. Meanwhile, the Larry Mantle, Wax Paper's take on an Italian hero, featured premium meats and breads; however, the sum was, frankly, forgettable. The cold cut meats and spicy aioli were drowned out by a sea of shredded lettuce and the all-fluff sesame roll. Lastly, the Aloha Pasta Salad took Hawaiian pizza toppings and mixed them into a mayo-heavy pasta salad; the result was a dud. The service was molasses-slow -- our order (the first of the day and all cold items) still took half an hour. Further, at nearly $50, the prices were eyebrow-raising. Compared to California sandwich staple Mendocino Farms, Wax Paper's was pricier and less palatable. I don't anticipate paying Wax Paper a visit again.
