We came here on of a whim one day because we saw a TikTok that showed a car table and our toddler…read moreloves cars so we thought it would be a cute lil thing for him. We definitely didn't expect the food to be so great!
We've been here about 4 times now and their food is consistently delicious.
My order is always their Yakimechi bowl. Which is their version of fried rice with squash, carrots, shrimp, beef & chicken. They top it with cream cheese, crab, avocado, eel sauce & sesame seeds. HIGHLY recommend this dish! We've also tried some of their sushi rolls and all have been tasty. Today we tried their Masago Sinaloense which has crab inside and is topped with shrimp, spicy mayo, eel sauce, sriracha & sesame seeds. Their Culiacan Roll is one of our favorites!
Besides really great fried rice and sushi, their birria is one of our favorites. My toddler absolutely loves their tacos de birria con consomé. They are not stingy with the birria either! Very filling portions.
Their micheaguas are super refreshing too.
Now, as far as the service and the vibe, this restaurant has to be one of the most wholesome spots in Lynwood. The restaurant is ran by a family and we met the dad on our first visit. He told us he opened the restaurant and his kids help out. Everyone we've met is super friendly, attentive, and welcoming.
This helps them a lot because the wait time is veeerrrryy long...30min+ sometimes. We ordered in advance this time and when we arrived, our food was ready.
I do recommend dining in the first time because they have great food presentation BUT fair warning that it will be a bit of a wait. It's worth it though. After that, call in your order and just pick up or eat there like we did.
They have a great outside area with plenty of seats and shade. They also have TV's all around now (guessing bc of the World Cup?) but this was a great addition.
Overall, this is a great lil hidden spot in South Gate/Lynwood area. Would absolutely recommend!
