I've never had the pasta so I can't comment on it, but, overflowing meatball and sausage sandwich with a side of marinara? Delicioso and messy. When I'm working In the area, this is my go to spot. They have a loyal following and if you ask anyone that works for the city or in the city of LA where you can get an old school sammy, Eastside Deli!

Only about a 15min wait in line. Ordered w/Ryan who had such a great attitude & very welcoming. Ordered chicken sando (mild) fries, comeback & tang sauces. Food came out quickly. Chicken sando is big, great portion size of fries as well. Definitely can share. Normally I don't care for crinkle fries but they were fried & seasoned to perfection. Honorable mention to the staff behind the counter as well, every person I made eye contact with (although they were busy) returned a smile. I appreciate feeling welcomed. Great people & great food.

I finally got to visit this place after dropping friends off in Union Station. My original idea was…read moreto go to Amboy, but unfortunately for them they didn't open up in time. I decided Howlin Rays deserved my attention. There was already a line in place and they were playing some good music from the restaurant. When it came time for me to order, Ryan at the counter was very friendly to me. Everyone in the restaurant was. I really enjoyed that. I stuck with getting the mild sando, and didn't expect the chicken breast so gigantic! It was a delicious sandwich and the spice was pretty good. I'm glad I didn't go any spicier than that. I ordered the fries which were actually pretty good. They were definitely seasoned, but they weren't heavily in taste sense. They had something for me to drink and it went really well with a meal actually. I'm glad that I could say that I enjoyed this place from beginning to end. It is a little hidden, but luckily for me I found it. Definitely will come back to have my wife try it one day.

Cool Chinatown spot with a sports vibe and nice service!…read more First time trying their pizza and it was great! The crust (tad thicker than NY style) was crispy, and had a really nice bite to it, though it may get dry and chewy if you don't eat it fast enough. I highly recommend their Good Boy slice that comes with their signature hot honey and all the toppings you need, as well as to try their Lemon Garlic Kale salad. I'd probably come back next time and try their sandwiches and stuff. The place gets crowded the later it gets, come early!

2.5 First time here with my adult Son who wanted to try…read morethis place out. Location: Chinatown=parking sucks. This place is a tiny spot with tiny crammed in tables, 6 tables at best. A small bar counter with maybe another 5 seats. The place was super busy, the line extends behind you if you're sitting at the counter top, in front and completely up against you if you're at a table. Call me spoiled but I like to eat without strangers hovering over me, elbowing me and standing 6 inches away from me waiting to order, totally uncomfortable and way too crammed. The food is ok. Tried a few things, nothing was out of this world, but it's pizza and sandwiches so... Now to ADA Compliance. My son is a disabled (since birth) person who uses forearm crutches to ambulate. He's been eating out his entire life and knows how to navigate the world. This place was definitely not ADA Compliant. He barely could safely get in and out without being knocked over by a patron. Whatever the capacity is, they're way over it! LA Fire would definitely shut it down as a safety hazard. Look we get it, the world is made for "able bodied" people, but cramming so many bodies in to make money without any regard for comfort, safety and once in a while those who operate life a little differently is also something to think about. On the flip side the service by the people who work there was good, they all seemed nice and friendly. If you're claustrophobic, elderly , physically challenged, don't even think about it.

Plenty of noodles and beef to go along with it + all the sides. I would go back again when I'm around. Very filling and comforting bowl of soup!!! The sugarcane juice was so so good. There's a hint of orange in it for added flavor, and it works perfectly. It's a bit expensive at 7 dollars, but it hit the spot. Honestly, I'm not hesitant to spend 7-10 dollars on a cup of coffee, so maybe it wasn't truly that expensive. The restaurant itself is fairly unassuming and may not look as fancy and in order as some more new wave places, but the flavors here can't easily be replicated. Easily some of the better pho I've had in LA. Granted, i was really hungry, so that could have factored into the score. Places like this are what i love so much about Chinatown. The atmosphere inside is incredibly welcoming and there was a steady flow of customers coming for the Vietnamese coffee. I'm sad i didn't get to explore this part of the city during its prime, but im happy places like Gigo's are still around to enjoy and appreciate. Give it a try if your around the area and craving some pho.

Definitely hits the spot if you're craving pho. Service had a couple hiccups though. It took a while to get our drinks, and we actually got our food before them. When the drinks finally came out, they brought the wrong one--we ordered a honeydew boba but got taro instead. We had to point it out and get it corrected. Overall, great food but service could be a bit more on point.
