    Pollock Spicy Soup
    Laura P.

    This is a Korean restaurant that I like to go from time to time. They're reasonably priced, and the food is pretty good. Now they have a small tablet on each table where you can place the order yourself. Whenever you need more of the side dishes, you can let any of the servers know. The parking can be a little tricky since it's on a hilly side with only a few spots. They have a break time from 2:30-4:30, so be sure you're there during the business hours.

    Food is super authentic... honestly tasted better than the tofu soup I tried in Korea. Every order comes with side dishes and there's a station for water or hot barley tea... the kimchi beef tofu soup was so yummy and such a comfort food and the bulgogi was perfectly seasoned and tender so delicious! Service was helpful and kind. Not trendy or cutesy inside, pretty practical appearance and the parking isn't great although there is a few parking spaces it's mostly street parking. I will be bringing more people to eat here!

    Spicy kimchi tofu soup! The blood red color gives an idea how spicy it was aka super spicy :)

    I ordered the Spicy Tofu soup to go, and it did not disappoint! The spicy was super spicy, and the blood red soup color said it all. A lot of places don't make the soup as spicy, and tone it down. If you're looking for the typical spice, go with medium. I love that it comes with purple rice, and the sides tasted straight from a mom's kitchen in Korea. Authentic flavor and a nice size portion as well. The hostess helping me was really sweet, and my order was ready in less than 10 min. I'll be back! But will prob go with medium spice next time ^^

    Great lunch specials. One of the best tofu soup spots in La Crescenta Montrose area. My go to spots when I don't want to go out to ktown.

    That's right! Lol

    Never fail! I haven't been here in over a month. That's very unusual but medical issues. I'm back for our go-to never fail delicious Korean BBQ and tofu soup.

    I love the food here--sides, meat, soup! The service is fast, and the staff is accommodating. It can be another go-to place if you are craving Korean cuisine for lunch or dinner. In the afternoon, they open at 4:30 p.m. We ordered the small intestine tofu soup and ribs. The ambiance is simple and pretty organized.

    To be honest, we had never heard of Miso Tofu until we looked up "Korean Tofu" while driving east on the 118, heading back to the San Gabriel Valley. We had a craving and after looking at the pics we decided to try out Miso. We did not expect to find the little shop so packed! And as we waited, car after car pulled up and one occupant would jump out and check how long the wait was. It was pretty obvious this was a regular spot for local Korean families and we knew we would be in for a treat. The server made us feel like one of those regulars as he answered all our questions and guided us to our choices. The room felt cozy and warm and that's exactly how the galbi made us feel too. This was classic Korean food done well and we balanced the warmth out with some spicy cold noodles. We loved it all and it was simply better than the Korean Tofu shops we have around us. It's a bit of a drive for us but we will definitely be back.

    This was our second time to this restaurant. The food and services were excellent! We enjoyed their side dishes a lot and the waiters were kind enough to kept bringing us more.

    I had lunch here recently, ordering one of my favorite Korean entrees, Yukgaejang ("Spicy Beef Soup"). I was happy to see it come with purple rice, which I enjoy much more than white. The Yukgaejang among the best I've had recently, with a hearty, spicy broth, and lots of ingredients. My husband ordered Kimchi Kalguksu ("Home-style Noodle Soup"). He said the broth was the right level of spiciness for him, and the noodles were just the right firmness. He wished it had a bit more Kimchi in it and maybe more than one rice cake slice. But, he was happy with what he ate. I've noticed that in most Korean restaurants, the number and amount of Ban Chan has shrunk. We were given only 4 Ban Chan dishes here, and the amount was nowhere near enough for our group of 4. However, they were more than willing to refill Ban Chan when we finished one, so the initial amount given didn't matter. The Ban Chan was tasty, and fresh. Service was good. The restaurant was full when we arrived, so it did take a while to order and get our food, but the wait was relatively short given how busy it was.

    I LOVE this Korean BBQ place! The food here is so good and they have great service. They are always kind to the customers and are very speedy. The restaurant is super cute.Overall, a great place to enjoy some Korean BBQ with great service and a cozy feel.

It had to be new; when I lived in the area five years ago, it simply didn't exist. I'm a firm believer in supporting local businesses, so I made a spontaneous U-turn and decided to see what this place was all about. Serendipity, it turns out, has excellent taste! First impressions were strong. A generous parking lot, a welcoming outdoor patio, and the kind of calm confidence that suggests a place run with intention. Inside, I was greeted by a young cashier who was warm, sweet, and effortlessly professional. The pastry and cake display immediately pulled me in, but curiosity led me to ask about breakfast. She walked me through an impressively wide menu, and my eyes locked onto the ajarski--beautifully described as a boat-shaped dough crowned with cheese and two large eggs. I asked her to add protein, and I chose to go with bacon. A double espresso sealed the deal. The interior is spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with large windows framing Foothill Boulevard and the rolling Tujunga hills beyond. I took a seat facing the window, soaking in the view as the city moved quietly outside. The espresso arrived first--rich, full-bodied, and perfectly textured, not the watered-down imitation too often passed off as a "double." Then came the ajarski. Let me be clear: I've traveled extensively and eaten ajarski in many corners of the world. What landed on my table here was on another level. Every detail was dialed in. The cheese melted luxuriously, the bacon was savory perfection, and the dough--golden, airy, and baked at just the right temperature--delivered depth of flavor with every bite. This wasn't just good; it was intentional cooking, executed with care and pride. I lingered, enjoying the ambiance, the food, and the attentive service. The tip was more than deserved. This place is professionally run, thoughtfully curated, and genuinely uplifting. It put a smile on my face and gave me the kind of energy that carries you through the rest of the day. Highly recommended. A true neighborhood gem--and one I'll be returning to often.

    The Seasoning Alley Mediterranean restaurant in Montrose…read more showed promise but landed somewhere in the middle. Here are some impressions from our visit earlier today. The restaurant is a casual, clean spot and has a welcoming environment. Service was attentive and friendly. Our salad was fresh and delicious and the meal portions were large and plentiful. Good hearty sized plates but low on taste and quality. Unfortunately, the pita was one of many low points. The pita arrived cold and slightly stiff, not warm and soft as we'd hoped. It lacked the toasty, chewy texture that makes pita so comforting and effective for scooping up dips and bites. Another low point was that our rice was barely warm, almost cold. Not good. The worst part of our meal had to be the hummus. It was almost frozen and tasted as if it was just scooped out of the freezer. Terribly disappointing. Our Chicken Kabob had a tender interior with a nicely charred exterior. The spices and marinade showed potential, but the overall flavor profile didn't quite soar beyond the ordinary. Wouldn't call it standout, yet it wasn't bad. It was just barely okay. The falafel tasted fresh, but the exterior could have used a bit more crispness. Interior was moist enough, with chickpea flavor present, though it didn't leave a lasting impression. Our overall impressions were that our meals were just barely okay for a casual dinner, but it didn't move into the "great" category. We were disappointed. We expected better quality. For improvement, heating the pita and rice to perfection and dialing in the falafel crust would elevate the overall experience. A touch more depth in the chicken kabob seasoning or a signature sauce could help distinguish the dishes. If you're in the mood for a low-key Mediterranean option with reliable service, this spot is worth a try. It's a safe bet for an okay meal, with good service and good size portions for a casual night out with friends or family. Considering their prices, for repeat visits, I'd hope to see more consistency across staples like the rice, pita and falafel, and a bolder finish on the kebabs to push the overall rating from "good but not great" to "really good." Pita and rice arrived cold. The Falafel could have been crisper. Chicken kabob flavor could be more distinct. The Hummus was horrible. Next time, I'll pass on this place. Cheers!
