I was excited to try this French bakery for the first time, but unfortunately it was a…read moredisappointment. We stopped by this morning, and the pastries we ordered were not fresh at all. They tasted stale, which was surprising for a French bakery. We also ordered the chicken sandwich, and it wasn't good either. It had only a very thin slice of chicken and lacked flavor, making it feel overpriced for what we received. The only positive was that the service was decent and the staff were polite. Unfortunately, the food didn't meet our expectations. This was my first visit, and sadly, it will also be my last.

The food truly was very good! We tried both the uni ebi pasta and the uni truffle pasta with added…read moreshrimp. Both uni pastas were amazing! If you like uni, then the uni pastas are definitely worth a try! The shrimp was fresh. There are other pasta dishes that were fine too for the ones that don't fancy uni. Will definitely go back!

That salty umami flavor bomb is what I miss and my 2 sons demand to return asap. Remember it's only on the lunch special menu during the week. That simple looking sando was my gateway to the unique fusion of Japanese & Italian pastas and it was incredible. You must love spaghetti noodles and UNICO knows how to handle pasta to sauce ratio. I have eaten at other Japanese Pasta spots and Unico is levels better. Which pasta did we devour? Uni pasta with shrimp top fav, one kid ate the curry bolognese filled with ground beef and veggies, Mentai pasta was a bit tangy and you can't go wrong a chicken Alfredo. If Erik is working that day, you will have the best service. The ambiance is spacious with lots of natural light and seating. Lots of free parking!

Tea Master in Little Tokyo still wins my heart when it comes to matcha ice cream since theirs is really creamy. However, this is one of the best hojicha soft serves out there.

Stopped by Noon Korean Bingsoo on a warm afternoon and tried the Blueberry Yogurt Bingsoo and the…read moreHojicha Bingsoo. The Blueberry Yogurt was my favorite of the two. 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 came here on a weekday night at 10pm. I was honestly surprised to see they were still open…read morebecause Yelp and their store signs say they close at 10pm but they were still open but a little bit after, maybe closer to 1030pm or 11pm I'd say. Immediately walking in, it was STUFFY. It had a smell of rotten milk or just something spoiled. Extremely muggy feeling inside. It was cooler outside for sure. It was off-putting but I stuck it out and still decided to order some ice cream. The size of the place is mini so def an order to get to go and walk to the esplanade! The lady working definitely gave me plenty of samples to try from. I got 2 scoops. 1 scoop of a caramel something flavor and a scoop of their moose tracks. The serving size was good, average. The ice cream itself was creamy, sweet and fills that sweet treat craving. Personally, I would've like to order something else, but the samples buttered me up on getting these sweeter flavors. One thing to note is that they did not have signs or ask about allergens prior to offering samples. I ended up trying a sample that had peanuts and I completely forgot about my friend having a peanut allergy and I let them sample it as well. Thankfully, nothing happened. They were accomodating and offered us a free water bottle and waffle cone to get the peanut taste out their mouth. There's ample parking in the parking lot, it's part of a mini plaza. It's right down the street from Redondo Beach which is nice! Customer service was great! I thought the lady and man working were friendly and inviting. I hope they fix their AC or whatever the issue was with feeling so yucky inside!

Not only the best in the SBBC South Bay Beach Cities... Not only "one of", if not THE best in the Metropolitan Los Angeles So Cal area... but is highly recommended in all of California, the United States, the plant we call Earth and the Universe and Galaxy !!! What could make Handel's better??? Expand locations for convenience. Of course the usual x-factors of easy parking, no-wait short lines quick to serve, indoor ice cream parlor seating and the less-than-justified "lower prices, bigger portions" argument everyone has with every food vendor that exists... BUT truth be told, one of the reasons why I rank Handel's so high is the "Value" of the pricing and quantity compared to their peers competition along with the quality.

I come to this location all the time but never really pay attention to the pricing…read more The other day, I asked the girl at the counter if the small is the smallest size they have and she told me that there is a scoop that is at $2.50. I think, great since my elderly Dad is diabetic and shouldn't have a lot of ice cream, so I went with that but in a waffle cone, she said that would be $3.50. I said that's fine, I will have one in flavor A and the other one in flavor B, total came to $7.35 And I asked her to put the ice cream cone in a cup, so it would be easier for him to eat in the car as it was extremely hot that day, and I don't want it to drip all over the car. When she gave me the ice cream, it was both flavor in one cone. I told her I wanted 2 separate cone instead of all in one. And then she said it would be another $7, I was in a hurry, so didn't really put too much thoughts into it, and just charge it. So now I look at my charges, so it turns out the same serving, one is at $7.35 and the other is $7. When I get the ice cream, I asked her, so there nothing that is smaller than this. She said there is, but not in a waffle cone, it will be extra with a waffle cone. So I asked $2.50 in a regular cone and additional $3.50 for the waffle cone? She said yes!! I am still confused as to whether they have a smaller serving than small and how much it is. I check on the pricing people posted here and don't see a $2.50/$3.50 smaller size showing. It remains a mystery to me, and I really wanted to know as it will be a hot summer, both my elderly parents, who are diabetic, would probably asked for ice cream, and I really don't want them to have a small each on their own, since it is still a decent size and they don't like the same flavor, so they can't really share a small one.

Great for couples, family, and friend. If you have a foodie friend who doesn't judge on exterior but rather the taste, this is a worthy spot. The lady helping us allowed us to try different options until we landed on Thai tea, almond amaretto, riceberry horchata on The Special (3 flavors) on a waffle bowl. It was placed on coconut sticky rice. At first I raised my eyebrows but when I tried it, I was blown away how GREAT of combo this is! 5/5 I would go out of my way to try this. What I also love about this is that it isn't sweet like typical dairy icecream but just sweet enough like the true gelatos you have in Italy. You must at least try this with the waffle bowl - it was quite the delight. The portion is big and you'll be surprisingly full. The special (3 flavors) is best for 2-3 people (regular serving). If you're going to eat this by yourself I'd just get 1 serving or the gelato cup. Restroom? No Seating? No

Tried Moom Maam at Smorgasburg Los Angeles at ROW DTLA, the big Sunday pop-up food event downtown…read more The event itself was pretty cool, although a few of the vendors I was hoping to try apparently didn't show up that day. Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.

Unfortunately, my visit on July 25 was a completely different experience. The black sesame bingsu had a strong pepper-like taste, making it unpleasant to eat. On top of that, the taiyaki we ordered didn't arrive until about 30 minutes later, so we no longer had time to enjoy it at the restaurant and had to take it to-go. When we politely brought up the taste of the bingsu with an employee (a young man with glasses and shoulder-length hair), he became defensive, spoke to us rudely, and walked away in the middle of the conversation before we could finish explaining the issue. At that point, we weren't even complaining about the delayed taiyaki. We simply wanted to let them know something seemed wrong with the dessert. We did eventually receive an apology for the delayed taiyaki, but only after we asked about the reason for the delay. The employee explained that he had mixed up our order with another table. I've supported Okrumong for years, which makes this experience especially disappointing. Everyone makes mistakes, and a delayed order or a food quality issue can happen. What really stood out was how the situation was handled. I hope the management takes customer service more seriously, because this visit was far below the standard I've come to expect from Okrumong.
