Would not recommend wasting your time or money…read more Ordered the brisket sandwich and a custom veggie wrap. For the veggie wrap, they were skimpy on the ingredients that they put on it. We asked for sprouts and the single sprout in the picture was the actual amount that was in the wrap. There was supposed to be cheese in the wrap and there was one slice of it. There was also a random cranberry in the wrap. Very underwhelming and disappointing especially for the price. The brisket sandwich was nothing special. Brisket was basic and under seasoned. Just tasted like the BBQ sauce it was soaked in. Also pretty skimpy on the coleslaw. I wasn't expecting it but the sandwich randomly had a boatload of onions that I think the brisket was being cooked with.

Mike's Deli is a LA classic. I've lived here all my life and this was my first ever visit. This…read moredeli absolutely lives up to the hype! Expect a line when you arrive but the staff moves pretty quickly. You order at the counter and once your order is ready you pay upon pick up along with any items you picked up from the store. They had plenty of drink and chips options as well as desserts! It's take out only, so there is no area to sit and dine in. I am sensitive to gluten so I opted for one of their salads. The man taking my order recommended the Boss Salad and I went with that with a Cesar dressing. It was fire! The chicken was abundant and the "boss sauce" they used on it was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The portion size is huge! This could be 2 or 3 servings for sure. Overall, my experience was great and I will absolutely be back!

I've been a loyal customer of Mike's Deli since they were in their original location across the…read morestreet, and they have never disappointed. Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious every single time - fresh, generously made, and packed with flavor. What really sets Mike's apart is the consistency. The sandwich makers are true experts who know how to build the perfect sandwich. Whether you're craving turkey, pastrami, roast beef or one of their specialty creations, everything is made with care and high quality ingredients. They also have every side you could want to go with your sandwich, making it easy to turn a quick lunch into a satisfying meal. The deli is always spotless, which says a lot about how much pride they take in their business, and the staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and efficient. After all these years, Mike's Deli is still one of my favorite places for an amazing sandwich. If you're looking for one of the best deli sandwiches in Los Angeles, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I met a friend here for lunch and, though the area was super busy due to the classic car show, it…read morewas really easy to find a seat. When I went to order at the counter, the staff said we could sit and they were serve us, which I wasn't expecting at all! I really appreciate they that have both the fast-casual order style and the sit down and enjoy style duality to this restaurant. I got the chai latte and a hummus bowl with falafel (though as I write this I can't remember if that was the actual menu name of the dish). It was delicious--the falafel was one of the best I've ever had taste wise, and a bit on the airy side instead of being super dense, which I appreciated. Sometimes falafel is too dang dry, and they really got it right. The hummus was phenomenal. I'm really such a sucker for a good, quality hummus and it was so creamy and the oil they topped it with was wonderful too. The veggies were fresh and the pita was such a star: it was thick and chewy and clearly freshly made. Immediate 5 star for the food. So glad I stopped by here and will definitely be back!

We were looking for an upscale indian lunch/brunch spot and found this amazing gem!…read more We went on Saturday and I believe they serve breakfast from 8 AM. After 11 you have a bigger menu option as they continue the breakfast/brunch menu till 2 pm as well as dinner menu. We tried a lot of different things, benne dosa, Kerala fried chicken, Fig and walnut kofta, Masala naan and chai tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious! Sambhar was very authentic and the koftas were to die for! I have never had walnut and fig option but it worked so well. Our server Emilio was pleasant and efficient. The restaurant had a modern chic vibe.

After reading the yelp reviews we were really excited to eat here for our special anniversary…read more Unfortunately for an $80pp meal, we left feeling disappointed and very misled by the reviews. The food overall was very mediocre for what they charged. Actually every dish was very salty, like a mouthful of salt. The ambiance, presentation, and plating were very nice, but did not make up for the lack of 'wow' on the actual taste we were hoping for. Not only was it unremarkable, I'm not sure I would even call it delicious. It was just eh, and we ate it because we already ordered it. Honestly for a pure Indian food fix (no frills on "high end" ambiance) I would rather just go to an Indian lunch buffet for the price of one entree here, or even the Samosa house 3 item combo for less than $20, where the appetizers and food are way more delicious and fulfilling. - wagyu beef kulcha- do not recommend. Salty and reminiscent of a Mexican pizza made with ground beef. Don't be fooled by the "wagyu" label - crab bhuna- a bit of a letdown compared to reviews. The banana buns were good. The crab mixture was salty and the crab taste gets lost inside the heavily flavored sauce - gobhi bezule cauliflower- was okay. The sauce was a bit heavy - kotu parotta - mediocre flavored beef mush on the salty side. Unsure why other yelpers raved about this. - date and almond korma- the 4 little kormas were meh, but the sauce was good though. Kind of like your standard orange tikka masala sauce. - garlic naan - ironically my favorite dish they made here haha. It was actually crispy but had a fluffy chew and wasn't burnt. At least they got this right for $7 naan! Overall would not reorder any of these dishes and would not return. I love Indian food and really wanted to like the place but sadly it did live up to the 4.8 star expectations. Also random aside, when we walked in the restaurant smelled of commercial cleaning solution (like at the gas station), and the bathroom had heavy air too which made me hold my breath; would recommend some air purifier machines to neutralize the air.

I really like coming to Mendocino Farms in Culver City. The place is super nice and clean, and I…read morereally like the outdoor patio. Even the bathrooms are always clean, which I definitely notice and appreciate. My favorite thing to get here is the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Salad. I always add chicken and ask them to toss everything together, and it is SO good! It's honestly my go-to order every time I come. I also ordered a side of chicken for my dog, but unfortunately the chicken had quite a bit of pepper on it. I asked if I could exchange it for chicken without the pepper seasoning, and they explained that all of their chicken is seasoned. They let me know that their turkey isn't seasoned, so they offered to exchange it for a side of turkey instead. I really appreciated that, especially because the manager was so kind and understanding about it. She didn't make it difficult at all and was willing to find another option for my dog, which I thought was really nice customer service. For a salad, a sandwich, two drinks, and two bags of potato chips, our total was $52. Overall, I really enjoy this location. It's clean, the patio is nice, the food is really good, and the customer service has been great. And if you go, I definitely recommend the Avocado & Quinoa Salad with chicken, tossed together. It's my favorite!

Everything tasted fresh, and the avocado was a great addition that made it even more satisfying. The flavors all came together really well, and every bite had a nice balance without anything overpowering the rest. It was a generous portion and definitely filled me up. The Olipop Peaches & Cream was smooth and refreshing, and the Zapp's Sweet Creole Onion chips were packed with flavor and added the perfect crunch alongside the sandwich. The restaurant had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive. My order came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. Overall, it was a great lunch. I'd definitely recommend Monroe Place, and I'll be back to try more of the sandwiches on the menu.

Fine dining dishes and techniques for only 70 dollars! This place is already blowing up and it's super well deserved. Every other place is now subpar to me after this tasting menu experience. Their menu changes seasonally but I would describe their food as American with some Asian inspired flavors. Everything was amazing. You will have the best produce and flavors here no doubt. These chef pride themselves in their craft. It's a small intimate sitting with a few other people where interaction is encouraged! The service was 10/10. They don't expect tips but please please tip way better service than most restaurants! They literally give you new plates for every course. My favorite starter was the cantaloupe. It was extremely sweet paired with the amazing ass sauce which I don't know what it was but it was amazing and brought out the sweetness of the cantaloupe with a little bit of savoriness. My review will be so long if I talked about all 9 courses so I'll talk about some highlights. The Australian Wagyu was well cooked and on the leaner side so you can really taste the beefy flavor. The best bites of the night are definitely their take on Korean fried chicken and their wiener was juicy, meaty, spiced. Their Korean fried chicken was juicy, krispy, savory, sweet, and spicy. The lasagna was perfectly cooked, cheesy and comforting. The tomatoes and oily sardines paired perfectly with each other with the saltiness of the sardine and the sweetness and acidity of the tomato. They use complex flavors, textures, and combinations! You'll definitely be impressed. This might as well be the meal for me for this year! I will be back.

Ahhhhh I finally got to try a viral/trendy place to eat in LA. This sandwich was so so worth it!…read moreThe price is seemingly alot but you get 2 regular sized sandos in one. I got the #1 bestseller and it did NOT disappoint. I can see why someone wouldn't like it because it is rather plain but I prefer plain sandwiches myself.

This location on Wilshire Blvd in Koreatown is the smallest of the three I've visited, with under 10 seats available. It's a compact shop, and most customers opt for takeout. It's a narrow shop, and most customers take their orders to-go. I've previously enjoyed the La Paradiso and La Toscana, with the La Paradiso being my personal favorite. For our first visit with our son, we asked the staff for recommendations, and they suggested either the Venice Beach (Turkey) or the New Yorker (Roast Beef). The staff was incredibly generous, offering a roast beef sample, which our son loved! We also appreciated them providing ice and straws for our water. We ordered the New Yorker ($19.00) with roast beef, porcini cream, tomato, and arugula. The sandwich was thoughtfully cut in half, perfect for sharing. The schiacciata bread boasts a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, which beautifully complements the meats and cheeses. We opted to substitute the porcini cream for mozzarella, which was sliced into perfect bite-sized pieces and tasted incredibly fresh. The roast beef was thinly sliced and tender, the tomatoes were fresh and sliced to perfection, and the arugula added a delightful peppery crunch. It's a well-balanced sandwich and one of the best in LA. We would definitely order it again. A big thank you to the female staff member who expertly cut the meat and offered samples, assisting us in making the perfect choice for my son's sandwich. This experience was truly a positive one for our family. I would definitely return to AAV for the excellent food and service. Given the small size of the shop, takeout is recommended, especially during peak hours. The sandwiches at AAV are so good! Fuggedaboutit!

We went with **fresh prosciutto**, which paired beautifully with fresh mozzarella, truffle cream, and a little fresh arugula for that subtle peppery/spicy kick. Everything was piled onto their freshly baked bread, and let's just say this is **not a shy sandwich**. The service was friendly, and I really appreciated that they let you **sample different cold cuts and spreads** if you're not sure what you want or haven't tried something before. No need to commit to a mystery meat and hope for the best. The setting is very casual--more of a deli-style café with counters and small seating areas. Nothing fancy, but honestly, when the sandwich is this good, the bread is doing all the decorating. We're not particularly big eaters, so we split one sandwich in half... and STILL had another half to take home. If you're a big eater, this is one **generously stuffed, fresh-baked sandwich** that could keep your mouth, stomach, and general happiness occupied for the rest of the day. So glad I **accidentally stumbled upon this delicious place**! Sometimes the best food discoveries happen when you have absolutely no idea where you're going.
