This place is great. We went on a Monday morning around 10am and it was empty so the food and…read morecoffee were served quickly. The first thing I noticed was how new and clean the interior looked. We ordered the beef with garlic noodles and pork with fried rice. Both were tasty and hit the spot, but the beef and garlic noodles was a notch above, including the green dipping sauce. The Vietnamese coffee and the mango matcha were refreshing. Check this place out!

Great quality and service was very good as well. I got the strawberry milk and it was way better…read morethan expected

Cute aesthetic interior with a decent amount of tables and we were able to snag a table. I enjoyed the Vienna matcha as it was strong and rich. I got it at regular sweetness and the Vienna cream was smooth, creamy and not too sweet. I would come back for the Vienna drinks!

Everything you want from yakitori. Would especially recommend every option with chicken skin on it,…read moreincluding the pure chicken skin skewer. Crunchy, chewy, salty, deeply chicken-y. The meatball is tender and flavorful, full of ginger and green onion. The custard was perfect for anyone who enjoys a rich dessert. The caramel was perfectly dark to balance out the overall sweetness. Staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy. It is very popular, so expect it to be pretty packed. Would recommend a reservation, but there is a waitlist if you have a little patience.

Otafuku is gass. Everything I had was insanely delicious. There were 5 of us and the appetizers all…read morehad 5 pieces which was perfect. The first thing I tried was the Sizzling Mushroom Gravy over Crispy Rice; The dish was to die for and my personal favorite thing I tried. I don't even know how to describe how flavorful and well put together the gravy was with mushroom pieces that were perfectly soft and easy to eat. Next was the salad which was so fresh, citrusy, and tasty; It was salty and all the flavors complemented each other so well forming a perfect citrusy salad. After that was the shrimp tempura. It was not too fried/flaky. It was kind of like a taquito. The shrimps flavor was very fresh with a complementary umami flavor. The Sardine Sashimi was super high quality. It was super soft and fatty and ended with a heavy pleasant fishy flavor. The miso grilled cod was great. Not much to say about it was almost creamy and the miso was good. I ate the skin too and it tasted great. The main part of this place is the soba. The kikouchi soba are thicker 100% buckwheat noodles that were very well cooked and pleasant to eat. The Plum "Ume" broth was so refreshing and nice. I ate it cold; I probably would have preferred it hot but the is just a personal preference. The Ginger Pork was great. The pork itself was super gingery without being too pungent. The shredded cabbage was super easy to pick up and eat and the side of noodle salad and miso soup were great complements to the meal. I can tell no corners were cut anywhere and that Otafuku puts a little of effort into every meal they prepare. There is great care for all of the preparations and it was a very special meal. I felt like I was in Japan for a second as the feel of the restaurant is very "homey" and the ambiance is a nice cheerful atmosphere.

It was my first time here at Sweet Rice on Redondo Beach Blvd. I was looking for some mango sticky…read morerice and found them from the results I ordered my food over the phone first but luckily they told me it would take about 20 minutes or so. And then when I came by to pick up my food, I instantly had some FOMO a lot of their savory food looked amazing. People reading some amazing looking noodle dishes nope definitely have to try those next time I am in town. There is a $10 minimum to hit for credit cards which I'm that I was able to hit. The mango sticky rice was great and I'm glad I came in and got some. There's plenty of parking in this giant plaza. Looks like a lot of great food options as well here. They're located in the corner of this shopping plaza where the Tokyo Central and main location is.

I came to try this place because I've heard so much rave about their mango sticky rice on tiktok. I…read moreLOVE mango sticky rice .. I always order it when I go to Thai restaurants or places that have it. So I HAD to try theirs. My husband and I went last Wednesday night to order the mango sticky rice but they had sold out already. (The worker recommended I call them prior to going there to see if they still have some available) The worker was nice and friendly. The next day, I went with my kids because now I HAD to try it. This time, I called prior to see if they still had some on hand. When we arrived to the restaurant, the mango sticky rice was already stacked in containers ready to go - which is new to me. I've never seen that before. I ordered 2, we didn't order anything else. Idk if I had a bad batch or what but my kids & I thought it was ehh. It was .. okay I guess? But it wasn't the best we've had. Probably an unpopular opinion because all the reviews I see state it's the best they've had and i just didn't taste that. We didn't even finish it. The worker the second time I went wasn't the friendliest either. Parking is great since it's part of a big shopping center. There's tables & chairs outside as well where you can eat, which is where my kids & I ate. Tables are shaded so that's good.

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.
