    We went on a little overnight trip to Solvang and on our way back to LA we looked for a place to have Chinese food. This place came up and we decided to stop. It was a good pick. The portions were good for the price, and the gentleman that was there was really nice. It was small but quaint. The gentleman took out order and within a few minutes we had our food and was made to order. The gentleman was attentive and courteous. This was a good find on our way back to LA. Refinery recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

    These are what we ate. We loved Ong Choi.

    A friend of ours recommended this place and she was right. We wanted to eat authentic Chinese and this place served what we wanted! The staff were very friendly. This place got really busy that means people like this restaurant. This will be our go-to- Chinese restaurant. We forgot to take food pics but I uploaded the receipt instead. :)

    Wonderful little Chinese restaurant. Great customer service, the workers are very nice and helpful! I've tried multiple dishes and loved all of them so far this place has great quality Chinese food. I Love the lunch specials!! The honey walnut shrimp was really good, lots of flavor loved the addition of the cucumbers inside gave it a fresh pop and the sauce was nicely balanced perfectly sweet .

    After having a wonderful experience at the Santa Barbara Fish Market in Santa Barbara, we decided…read moreto check out their sister location with a bigger sit down menu. With plenty of parking and plenty of patio and outdoor seating, we took a long time to go over their extensive menu. It's a pretty relaxed casual space. They provide counter service only. So order at the counter, pay, and they'll give you a number. They'll find you whether you're sitting inside or out. So many food options! And they sell so many wonderful refrigerated items beyond fresh seafood. So many pickle varieties! We finally settled on: * Ahi Poke Bowl $18.95 * Fried Soft Shell Crab Sandwich $18.95 - This was no joke of a soft shell crab sandwich. Loaded with coleslaw, butter lettuce, tomato, and pepperonicini, I love when you get a real sandwich that's just too big for your mouth. I did ask for a bit more jalapeño aioli as I like a wetter sandwich. It all sits nicely on a toasted brioche bun. * Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl $18.95 * Confit Tuna Melt $17.95 - This wasn't your average tuna melt with Fiscalini cheddar and Castelvetrao olive. This was pretty good. We enjoyed the food so much we returned the next day! * Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl $18.95 * New England Clam Chowder $6.95 cup - This was a pretty good tasting cup of chowder. * Crab Cake Sandwich $19.95 - This item was on the blackboard. It's a snow crab patty with pickled daikon and fire cracker aioli. It's normally served on a brioche bun, but I subbed with their sourdough instead. * Fish & Chips $19.95, with dirty fried +$3 - This fish is beyond huge! It's massive and definitely excellent for sharing! And it tastes great too! And it lays on a bed of dirty fries. Fish & Chips is the way to go here people! Overall, we had some great eats. I preferred their cooked options, but the poke bowls were popular with my family. They also had fresh uni available too both days we went.

He did not once welcome us so service could be better. We also ordered shrimp tacos as a to-go order and when we were going to eat them we realized we received fish tacos. We checked our receipt and saw he input fish tacos. We also ordered a side of clam chowder soup and their ceviche tostadas. The fish tacos were great quality. The fish was perfectly crisp and light. The corn tortillas tasted great and toppings were good. More lemon slices would have been better as well and some more tartar sauce. The ceviche tostada for a to-go order was packaged great. The avocado salsa and red salsa were delicious. The fish was fresh but the ceviche did need more lemon and more mango. The clam chowder was my personal favorite and everything that makes a good clam chowder was in this. They have great wholesale options as well and indoor/outdoor seating. Overall, our experience could have been better due to customer service lacking but I would recommend the clam chowder.

My friend's good but she felt was too salty and had it returned. The server was kind in bringing her a new dish. I got the burrata appetizer too. It was good but I felt lacking in flavor. Our experience was overall pretty good. I did feel the servers checking in and attention to us could have been better. There were long periods of time where he didn't check in with us. I also felt the food took quite a while to be made. I used to be a waitress in the past. I tried to make it a point to check in with my customers, always communicating when the food would be ready etc.. only advice I would give is to maybe train a little more for this with the servers.

    This was a disappointment. We used to go here before it changed to the Elwood and it was fine. I'll…read morestart with the good. I was there for brunch with five other girls. We sat outside and it was not that busy. The inside was open. The servers were very sweet as were the hostesses. The cinnamon bun for the table was good as well. Now for the bad. They had a ton of runners yet we couldn't get them to give us water no matter how much we asked for it. It took forever just to get our drinks. When my friend asked for some hot sauce for her food, bloody Mary mix was brought over in a ramekin. Having bartender a while back, I know clam juice when I taste it. And I was having a bloody Mary and it tasted exactly the same. Not to mention the fact it was very watery and it tasted like straight fire. I love hot sauce, but this had no finesse and it wasn't hot sauce. She asked for it again and she got the same thing. She needed hot sauce because the food really was not seasoned. I got avocado toast and I had to salt and pepper the hell out of that thing. Her hollandaise was bland and my friends clam chowder tasted like nothing. It was just like food out of a retirement community. I want to go back to the fact that the servers were really sweet. I don't discount that and they did hire nice people. But when you have that many runners and servers, the service should be better. And they really need to start using a little salt and pepper on their food. When you have prices like that people expect more.

The tonkotsu ramen is the star. I always get the Kuro with the black garlic oil, which is hands down my favorite. The broth is incredibly thick, rich, and full of flavor. You can really tell the quality of the pork and the care that goes into the broth every single time. My dad usually goes for the classic tonkotsu with garlic, and it is just as solid and comforting. I always add extra pork, corn, scallions, a little spice, and extra black garlic oil. That black garlic oil takes it to another level with this smooth, garlicky, creamy depth that is unreal. Portions are generous for the price, which makes it even better. Service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and quick, from taking our order to refilling our drinks. We felt taken care of the whole time. If you are in the Santa Barbara area and looking for a reliable, high-quality ramen spot with amazing broth and great service, this place is an easy recommendation.

It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.
