    You can never go wrong eating here. If you're looking for a song, good Italian food. I know this is more of a franchise and fast food. Kind of restaurant but it will definitely do the job if you're craving good Italian food. ,

    We came in on a Friday night, waited about 20 minutes to be seated which was pretty decent for a Friday. As we got seated I put my kids food in on the little table tablet. Our server came and got our drink order and we also ordered calamari and our entrees. The 2/5 stars is for the service. We got a lot of "sorry" from our server. Our waters had ice when we ordered no ice. Sorry. Our calamari came before our soup or salad. Sorry. Our entrees came out really late. I also ordered an extra meatball for our kids food that cane out ridiculously late. Sorry. The last one was for our check and boxes it was a sorry I had to use the restroom.... A little TMI. After not seeing our server for most of the night the last 10 minutes he was definitely around. We were celebrating mine and my youngest daughter's birthday month so we did get a free birthday dessert.

    You can't go wrong for the $! The food is good and the service was excellent. Best value! The server was very attentive and caring. The restaurant was busy on a Friday night at 9. Still a line but the wait was less than 10 minutes. The salad was good and the bread was soft and yummy. We had the Tour of Italy which is a combination (perfect for the undecided) and the Chicken Parm . I would order that again. Nothing fancy. Comforting and filling. The restaurant is inviting, bright, comfortable and filled with happy customers. This is a great place for families.

    I can never understand why some places that always have consistent great service has low stars. Every time I come here, they make sure I have everything I order to go. Same when we dine in. Today, we did a to go order. Everything is always neatly packed and correct. Parking can be a doozy as it's always packed. Food I always fresh and delicious. They never give me a hard time about needing extra Romano cheese. This place does tend to get super packed on weekends. The place is clean. Servers are clean. They are welcoming when you walk in. Prices remain reasonable. I wish OG would bring back their Alfredo pizza lol

    When it comes to a quick, easy, family friendly meal and restaurant- I don't think you can go wrong with Olive Garden. The staff was friendly and helpful, the restaurant lacked nothing in regards to service. This is not really top-tier Italian food, but it's better than any pasta I can make at home. I recommend this restaurant for good customer service, great food at an affordable price. My fettuccini with 5 cheese marinara with a delicious dish, paired with a Peroni I was very happy.

    It was fast service! Enjoyed my food, well cooked. The environment was good. Love Olive Garden!

    $7.49 pasta, side, breadsticks, drink. You can add the side to take home for $6 too

    Yes, I ordered a kids meal. Yes, I am a fully grown adult. And YES, it was delicious. For $7.49 at the Olive Garden in Carson, I got pasta, a side, breadsticks, a drink, and a mint that made me feel fancy. The meal came with silverware if you ask nicely -- but no pepper packet, which I'm still emotionally processing. It took about 20 minutes, but they let me chill at the bar with my drink like a classy rebel. Bonus: there's a bike rack out front, so I rolled up like a pasta-powered commuter. 10/10 would dine like a child again.

    The service at this Olive Garden is just the best. Kim helped us and she was just a wonder. She was so kind to me grandson and when I had to correct him to say please, she just smiled at him and said what he said was great. She paid so much attention to him and listened to him. It is hard to understand him when he speaks. She just stood there and was so happy when we got the words out and she would smile at him some more. He told me he wants to go back to see his friend. Now, they have games on a pad at the table so if you have a kid, get ready to be ignored, but that is fine. Clearly, those games are more interesting than me and his Pop Pop. The place is ever so clean, including the bathrooms and the booths are big and comfortable. The lobby is pretty and the front desk staff is really nice. If I were you I would go around 4 for dinner or it is going to be very crowded. We loved our food. Their never ending salad bowl is just perfect. I am not in love with their bread sticks, but my grandson love them. All of the pastas are super. We had Ziti and a dish with ravioli, linguini and chicken parmesan. All of it was great. We had never had steak there, but my husband was brave and wanted to try it. It came out just as ordered with great vegetables and he was thrilled. Their little donuts with two sauces on the side are so good. These are addictive. The prices are fair and again, you won't find better service.

    Always a great time coming here. The waitresses are very accommodating, you could tell they really love doing their job. The drinks and food are absolutely superb

    First time at this location and had a pleasant dinner. I was craving soup and salad and their $14 never ending soup salad and breadsticks is such a deal. I'll forever love you OG for this lol. Our dinner experience was definitely elevated because of Melzir (sorry for the spelling). He was one of the most lively, professional and accommodating servers I've ever experienced. He made some great recommendations and made sure our bowls, salad and drinks were constantly filled. Servers like him make all the difference in the experience and can make your restaurant go from good to great. The food was made fresh and did not disappoint. Yes OG is a franchise so it can be hit or miss but it seems like this location makes an effort for the community. Would definitely come back again.

    Had a great lunch at Olive Garden for a farewell celebration and bday celebration with my friends and boyfriend! It was such a lovely time and impressive service! My boyfriend couldnt eat cheesecake so our server went out of his way and replaced it (while we all still enjoyed the cheesecake)! I got the eggplant parm and that was yummy! Everyone loved their food too! Didnt take a photo of the food but this is a photo of our server!

    I usually don't give low ratings. But I gave them 2 stars because I got seated and after 10 mins of not being offered water or being greeted by a server I had to get up and ask for a manager. The place was busy but most of the Olive Gardens I go to be busy and I still get better service. The food was good as always. I ordered endless pasta bur I didn't order a second plate because the place was just too busy for the servers. I finished my soup and the empty bowl stayed on my table for the whole time I was eating my entree. I think I'm busy nights thry need more help servers bussers. The staff was nice. Just needed more help.

    Piping HOT Breadsticks - perfection!

    Ok I'm a BIG FAN of OG! Service - 5 Stars (SHOUTOUT to Orlando! His service is AMAZING!!) Food - 5 Stars Children's menu - 5 Stars Endless Pasta option- 5 Stars Soup/Salad option- 5 Stars Video games at the table for kids to play - 5 Stars It's a great family restaurant and prices are reasonable. Staff service is ON POINT and well trained. SUPER, just Super! Give OG a chance. It's always a nice, Full stomach treat! 100% Recommend!

    A warning if you're allergic to dogs, they allow people to bring dogs in the DINING ROOM where people are eating. It's unsanitary.

There dishes can come with either rice or salad and both can come with fresh fish you could find in poke. I had the best mate and there was a hefty amount! The tuna tasted fresh and everything in the bowl was harmonious. I'm not much of a health buff, but I truly appreciated how healthy the meal was while not compromising on taste. Price (5/5): Less than $20 for any poke bowl is an absolute plus for me. Ambiance (5/5): Obviously Stoke is found in the Enclave where there are multiple chairs and tables. On an extremely busy day I could see how it would get pretty tight since the tables are close together, but I never had that experience. Service (5/5): The food came out quick because its just an assembly line to put the bowl together. Just make sure you grab a buzzer if you want to grab another dish elsewhere.

Now...gotta keep in mind that food spots around Enclave probably have to pay a ton of money to rent their physical spots here, so I understand them and other places here having to charge more than other businesses elsewhere. The area is always nice, clean and organized. Staff is always super cool with great customer service. Seating area is good, especially since it is shared amongst the other Enclave businesses. Their cute little boxes with the logo make it look hella trendy; which fits their whole atmosphere. The actual salad wasn't bad and I would think vegans would really really really like this place more than us. Their chicken was seasoned pretty damn good. Wished there was more greenery, mandarin oranges for what we paid, but it's expected for a place like this. Stoke Salad is totally worth trying even at least once! Great alternative to the other food places around here too!

Went with my daughter at lunch time so it was a tad busy. We had to wait a bit for our food. I take that as a good sign, though. If there's a line and constant people then the food is probably pretty good. I ordered a Greek salad with Chicken shawarma and my daughter ordered a chicken shawarma plate. They were both quite tasty! I ordered my dressing on the side as I prefer to dip my salad in dressing rather than have it smothered all over & it turned out, I didn't even need the dressing! Everything has a touch of lemon (hence the name Limone) which made the flavor perfect without adding anything else! Not sure how they make their pita or naan bread but it was SUPER TASTY with a nice soft texture and very flavorful. Food tastes fresh and we didn't feel loaded down afterward. The Enclave is like a giant food court area with inside and outside seating along with activities. It's a really cool concept! There is plenty of parking and activities for just yourself or a group of your friends that are maybe just looking to grab a bite and chill out. They even have monthly activities. The Enclave is conveniently located at 190th/Vermont Ave off of Pacific Gateway. There are several other food places that I am looking forward to checking out from Pho, Hawaiian, Jersey Mikes's, Boba , coffee and much more! Check it out! And definitely try Limone! Food is delicious!

This is in a little food court, but a high quality food court. There are so many great options here! Theres a parking lot, and plenty of seating inside and outside. It's a causal spot, nice and clean with plenty of options. You place your order at the counter (you can use the ipad to order, except if you want the Fak'ed up fries, those you need to order with an employee). The shrimp - I could eat these forever. Holy toledos these are so good. I got the karaage chicken with the cheehoo teri sauce. The sauce is soooooo bomb. The chicken is perfectly cooked. And the red noon is the perfect addition of acidity. The Mac salad was great, stick to your ribs kinda good Now I ordered several other plates for my friend, including the teriyaki chicken, and the fak'ed up fries with shrimp and karaage chicken. He said the fak'ed up fries were fire, so good, he didn't even know that's exactly what he wanted. I have to come back to try them - I didn't know they were a thing bc they're not on the menu. But after I placed my original order I saw a video of the fak'ed up fries on their board and they looked so good, I had to buy them for him. I also got him the crispy spam musubi and the POGua Fresca, and he loved those. I will definitely DEFINITELY be back here!

There are a lot of new options and unfortunately no more chicken katsu. After my previous review, the owner actually reached out and offered to have me come back and try the food again, which I genuinely appreciated. I never took them up on the free food offer because I prefer to keep reviews honest, but the gesture still stood out to me. This time I ordered the 2-item combo with the honey sesame chicken karaage and kalua pork. The karaage was easily my favorite part of the meal. It was crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I asked for all the sauces on the side and the green sauce paired really well with it. The kalua pork was tender, but a little sweeter than I personally prefer for traditional kalua pork, so I'd probably try a different protein next time instead. I also grabbed a spam musubi, but the portions were so generous that I didn't even get around to eating it until I got home later. While I still miss the old chicken katsu, I get that menus evolve, and overall this visit was a much better experience than my previous one.
