This New Orleans style spot delivers a dinner of 3 falling off the bone ribs, 2-3 sides and a first timer welcome drink all for 20-21 bucks before tax n tip. The ribs and sauce are some of the best I've had in LA joints. Fat and flavor and tangy perfect sauce is are topped with complimentary corn "pancakes" browned as if on an iron griddle. This was a new one on me and some thin I'm gonna try at home Real soon. The Mac n cheese is for sure my favorite I've ever had except for my own at home. This is a Real Cheese flavor type Mac n cheese and I know how much cheese that takes! The top layer is pure cheese and just perfect. The special blue Bayou Punch was also complimentary as a welcome for my first time there. I already love this place for the genuine friendliness and welcoming I got there today. Some things money just can't buy and are getting harder and harder to find! I will report back in the peach cobbler soon. Parking might be a lil tricky here so it will you don't want to back yourself out after shoe horning in- just be ready to park on the street and walk a bit... it's good for you anyway...

I placed a ~$30 to-go order but had an emergency with my daughter and couldn't pick it up. Called the next day and was told it was thrown away and I'd have to pay full price again. I understand policy, but no flexibility at all in a situation like that doesn't feel very community-oriented, especially as it seems that they are offering to remake food for certain individuals based on these reviews. Left a bad impression and I will not be returning.

May 17, 2026 12:15…read more Server Yaya Hawkins House of Burgers is a historic, family-owned restaurant in the city of Willowbrook/Watts area, Cynthia Hawkins is the owner. If you find yourself in the neighborhood you will realize quickly that it's not the best of neighborhoods. However you must stop by at least once at Hawkins to enjoy some hommade food. I had been wanting to come here for more than several years. Since I knew I'd be driving by them on my way back from visiting someone. I made sure to stop today and try them. There was several people sitting in cars and standing waiting for their orders. They have door dash and all these other delivery options. Most of there orders are delivery. We overlooked the menu and decided what we were going to get. We ordered 1 fat cheese without onions and tomato combo 1 triple cheese burger combo with large chili cheese fries added pastrami 1 peach cobbler The order came to $52. And some change There menu is American, specializing in burgers, but also serving tacos, hot dogs, chili cheese fries, and burritos. Menu highlight is the "Farmer Otis Burrito" (a 2-foot-long burrito) and options with pastrami and hot links. There menu options are huge just keep that in mind when ordering. We waited for our order for about 40 minutes. Remind yourself fresh and good things take time. My burger was so fresh packed with flavors the meat crispy the mayo and mustard on my buns made me wanting more. The pickles were delicious. Now for that triple burger make sure you bring your hunger that's no burger to play around with. 3 large patties just might send you into burger coma. Those large chili pastrami fries are a meal within themselves. We barley put a dent into them and gave up we were full. Now for dessert that Peach Cobbler was deliciously homemade. Only thing missing was some whipped cream. The cinnamon and nutmeg in each bite was mouth watering.

Totally flavorful and I savored each bite. My brother had the fish sandwich combo, and my sister had the fish/shrimp combo plate. They both enjoyed their dishes, and everything was consumed with gusto. The only suggestion that I would make is if they had some specialty, fresh juices available rather than the only choices being bottled and canned soft drinks. This will be a spot to visit and either dine in (when I have time) or get a meal to go.

This is in a little food court, but a high quality food court. There are so many great options here! Theres a parking lot, and plenty of seating inside and outside. It's a causal spot, nice and clean with plenty of options. You place your order at the counter (you can use the ipad to order, except if you want the Fak'ed up fries, those you need to order with an employee). The shrimp - I could eat these forever. Holy toledos these are so good. I got the karaage chicken with the cheehoo teri sauce. The sauce is soooooo bomb. The chicken is perfectly cooked. And the red noon is the perfect addition of acidity. The Mac salad was great, stick to your ribs kinda good Now I ordered several other plates for my friend, including the teriyaki chicken, and the fak'ed up fries with shrimp and karaage chicken. He said the fak'ed up fries were fire, so good, he didn't even know that's exactly what he wanted. I have to come back to try them - I didn't know they were a thing bc they're not on the menu. But after I placed my original order I saw a video of the fak'ed up fries on their board and they looked so good, I had to buy them for him. I also got him the crispy spam musubi and the POGua Fresca, and he loved those. I will definitely DEFINITELY be back here!

After not coming here for about a year, I decided to give Faka's another shot and I'm glad I did…read more The menu has definitely changed quite a bit since my last visit. There are a lot of new options and unfortunately no more chicken katsu. After my previous review, the owner actually reached out and offered to have me come back and try the food again, which I genuinely appreciated. I never took them up on the free food offer because I prefer to keep reviews honest, but the gesture still stood out to me. This time I ordered the 2-item combo with the honey sesame chicken karaage and kalua pork. The karaage was easily my favorite part of the meal. It was crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I asked for all the sauces on the side and the green sauce paired really well with it. The kalua pork was tender, but a little sweeter than I personally prefer for traditional kalua pork, so I'd probably try a different protein next time instead. I also grabbed a spam musubi, but the portions were so generous that I didn't even get around to eating it until I got home later. While I still miss the old chicken katsu, I get that menus evolve, and overall this visit was a much better experience than my previous one.

Pretty outstanding shawarma spot in an unassuming strip mall…read more We came in and looked obviously like it was our first time and so they sliced some chicken and beef shawarma to try. The beef shawarma was so tender and the flavors had so much complexity to it. The chicken didn't quite pack the same flavor punch but the chicken was tender and juicy and you could taste all the different seasonings. I ended up getting the chicken shawarma plate on rice and it did not disappoint. Already mentioned the chicken but the rice is also very flavorful. Has a rich almost buttery flavor. It complements the chicken well. The pita is thin and not the typical fluffy pita bread you might think of. I do wish there was a little more of it but that's a minor complaint. The garlic sauce packs a punch and the red sauce is a spicy and tangy flavor. The hummus is very light and maybe because everything else was so flavor forward, this was a little bland in comparison. The people were really nice and friendly and for less than $20 to get a really tasty meal plus a drink is rare. I will definitely come back.

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.

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 !!!

Yes... you read that right, check in process. We live up the street and it was our first time trying this spot to finally see what the buzz was about. I paid for the food using Apple Pay and had my husband pick it up. I did read that when picking up, you need to have a matching ID and the CC used to pay. So I sent my husband with both. The security who checks you in gave him such a hard time about it and denied his entrance because it needs to be the same name as the person on the receipt! So I had to go. I arrived, parking is difficult to find although it's in a residential area. So after I showed him my ID, CC, and Email confirmation, he then has to write down all this info from your email?? He said the last 4 digits didn't match my CC, so I let him know I paid with Apple Pay. He then asked me to open my Apple Pay App to then look at the history?! The food is good and flavorful , but in LA, you can find that elsewhere without all the hassle. We will not be going back, that's for sure. Hope I can save someone a trip if they're traveling far for this to pick up for a friend or spouse.
