Totally stumbled across this gem of a taco and churro shop when we were walking by towards the…read morebeach. Loved how open the space was, saw a bunch of people enjoying tacos out near the sidewalk (plenty of outdoor and indoor seating), and I was like, I wanna try this place! And so we did! Got a churro to share (it was sliced into two pieces), no topping was necessary and it was deliciously crunchy and tasty. Fresh out of the kitchen and definitely did not taste commercial like other churros sometimes taste. The churro came out after a few minutes and the service at the counter was lovely and patient, even though the line started to get long! Will definitely come by to try their tacos next time!

I would definitely come back and give them another shot.

From the outside to walking in the front door, the decor and feel in HiHo says fancy burger joint…read more The inside is as minimal as their menu, but the mood is set by a lot of dark brown and stained wood which is a good thing. What surprised me was the prices but more on that later. The menu is streamlined and the choices are few. What HiHo does offer is simple done correctly. The Waygu beef is fresh and they do not over season the burger. They let the natural goodness of a quality beef patty do all the talking. There is plenty of flavor but the burger is not overly greasy. The buns are made in house, as well as the pickles and they both deliver. I love a burger with shredded lettuce. The French fries are prepared fresh and cooked to perfection for my taste. I like my fries slightly crispy and a little dark. They showed up well done and almost too hot to eat. I tried their in house sauce called "Matty Sauce" and still don't know how to feel about it. It was explained to me as their version of thousand island but there was an after taste to the sauce I still can't describe. I decided I didn't care for the sauce but never stopped dipping my fries in it. So in the end, I guess I ended up liking it? I feel you will either really like it, or really dislike it. I tried both the chocolate and vanilla shakes and preferred the vanilla. The shakes are made with house made ice cream and serve their purpose. I liked the fact they have a dispenser just for water and ice. Overall I say drop what you are doing and go get a HiHo Double. The most amazing thing about this burger is its simplicity and freshness. Two things that are often overlooked and/or not well done. If you want bells and whistles go elsewhere. If you want a really, really fresh and well made burger at In N Out prices, HiHo delivers.

Where do I begin?…read more This was my last day in the beautiful land of California, and before heading out to catch my flight back to the South, I was craving Mediterranean food. I've been on a bit of a Mediterranean kick lately, thank you Cava for that. First impressions? The environment was beautiful. Seriously photo worthy. As a photographer, I couldn't help but admire the architecture inside and around the area. It had that visual vibe that made me excited to be there. There was no line when we walked in, so I quickly landed on my order: the Crimson Chicken Wrap (white meat) with a side of babaganoush, and the Chicken Shawarma (dark meat) with a side of fries. Everything sounded solid. But then... we waited. And waited. Over 30 minutes passed. In that time, about 3 to 4 other customers came in, placed their orders, got their food, and left. Meanwhile, we were still waiting on two of their more popular items. I tried to be patient, gave them the benefit of the doubt, until I saw someone who arrived 25 minutes after us get their Chicken Shawarma within 10 minutes of walking in. Given that we were on a time crunch with other places to be, the delay was beyond frustrating. We ended up speaking with the manager and shared our concerns, but by that point, the experience was already soured. Now for the food. I wanted to like it. The first bite had promise, but after that, it just felt like I was eating out of obligation. For the price point, the service delays, and the lackluster flavor, I honestly can't recommend the entrées I tried. The coffee? It seemed to be good, but not enough to bring me back just for that. I wish I could give Crimson a stronger review, especially because the space itself is stunning. But in the end, it was a case of style over substance. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5, though I did walk away with some great photos, at least.

We stopped here after visiting the Santa Monica Pier because it was nearby and we were craving some…read moregood food. I'm so glad we did! They have plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The inside is cute and has lots of seating. We were a party of six, and the staff was very accommodating, arranging tables for our group. We love trying halal restaurants, and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the Mega Feast, which is listed for 4-6 people. Honestly, it was way more than enough food for six people! Luckily, that meant lots of leftovers for the next few days. The feast came with beef and onion sambusa, chicken, cheese roll, beef kebab, chicken and beef shawarma, baba ganoush, hummus, fattoush salad, rice, fresh pita, garlic sauce, and tzatziki sauce. Everything was genuinely delicious. The meat was flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. You can build your own shawarma wraps with the pita, hummus, and toppings, or enjoy everything over rice like a shawarma plate. Either way, it was amazing. We had a wonderful dinner and left happy and full. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

Then, as soon as we got our pita there was only pickles and tomatoes, Then we didn't see them put hummus spread on it , then we asked him "are you sure that hummus is on it?" he said yes. Then, as soon as we took a bite, there was only this garlic mayo. Again, he lied, only to get us to buy his wrap. Extremely overpriced , he then refused to give us Taziki on our to go order he kept the dollar charge for it after spending a lot of money with him I told him I would just share one with my brother, and he said no. I wouldn't spend my money here. I would definitely go elsewhere.

Yemeni cuisine seems to be catered around groups, and as a solo diner, while service was good and…read morethe couch-ish seating was comfortable, the meal didn't quite work for me. The vibe inside, despite the limitations of the space they have, is actually pretty good once you've gotten seated and taken a minute to get your bearings. Had the madhbi (grilled lamb), which was a very generous and delicious portion of rice, fried onions, and sliced almonds; however what was grilled lamb shank atop it was quite ordinary. Instead of being the highlight, I was pretty underwhelmed. Again I suspect that going as a solo diner was missing much of the experience; unfortunately I've been putting off going here since forever, trying to get a group together, and in the end decided I was better off just going by myself instead of trying to get friends together to come.

He got the food ready quickly and was working hard. 5/5 service. The food itself wasn't anything special. The photos of the chicken shawarma looked delicious. What we got on our plates didn't live up to the photos or the 5-star food reviews. The chicken tasted as if it had just been defrosted, and it lacked any significant char, tenderness, or flavor. The hot sauce that accompanied it was at least solid, so that made the chicken taste better. And the pita was fluffy and nicely toasted. But the main meal itself wasn't anything I'd go back for. 3 stars for the food. I was hoping this would be a Mediterranean pop-up gem. Maybe I'll have to go back and try the kofta. Or maybe I just went on an off day.

The sambal wontons were delicious and just the right amount of spice. It was the first time I had the Mie Tek Tek Indonesian noodles, which was like chow mein, but with unique spices that I enjoyed. The Cah Kangkung water spinach was also great. (It's like ong choy). While many of the main ingredients could be found in more common Chinese food, the spices were different and sweet and spicy in a Malaysian way. It was delicious and different. The service was really friendly and prompt. It's nice and modern inside. I liked the "antique" type plates which were cute. There's modern music and a cool hip vibe. There's a free small parking lot in front. I'll be back to try other dishes.

They had these pre-made tasting menu which has a variety of dishes and i absolutely love that option. Getting a small amount and tasting everything is exactly what I wanted So came here with my wife and got the more expensive tasting menu (the festival feast), and after tasting it, i think the other one would have been better. The best thing that we had was the lekker wings and the rest of the menu was decent but not amazingly flavorful. I would have preferred stuff like chicken satay. I was excited for the beef rendang but it wasn't as spicy or creamy as I expected, the flavor was muted. I would come here again to try something else though. Service was fast and attentive and the ambiance is nice for a good date out.
