    (V) Tofu Rice Bowl
    Amy A.

    Food was delicious!! I'm always looking for tofu options and this one was definitely a great pick. Reasonably priced and flavorful. We ordered online and it was ready sooner than the expected time. The bean and corn combination had a great sweetness to it. The green cilantro salsa was a perfect topping for the bowl and the tomatillos were well balanced mix in with the tofu. My bf got the carnitas bowl which he also mentioned was tasty and enjoyed the salsa. It is located inside of the allied food hall which is like a ghost kitchen. There's no seating inside, just an order and go type of establishment. I was skeptical at first but everything from ordering and picking up to eating was smooth and tasty. I plan to come back.

    I ordered the carnitas bowl & was seriously impressed! The pork was tender and flavorful, the veggies were fresh, & everything was seasoned perfectly. generous portions , I got two full meals out of it. Definitely a delicious, satisfying dish I'd come back for.

    OMG, I stumbled upon this little spot after a late-night gym session. We realized we could make it before closing but had to order online. So, as we drove, I quickly put in a mobile order, not really knowing what kind of place this was. When we arrived, I saw this small building with lockers and a kiosk where you scan your order to pick up your food, so cute! Opening the locker, I found my bag with a little personalized note, which was such a nice touch. The portions were great the chicken with all the veggies was light yet filling, packed with protein, and their hot sauce was a must-try. However, after coming here multiple times, I did notice an issue. On one visit, I paid extra for more chicken, but the portion was actually smaller than when I ordered the regular serving. That was a bit of a letdown, especially since I paid an extra $3 for it.

    Wow so yummy, we were back up in Pasadena after a while and looking for something quick to grab before we headed back down toward OC. This place popped up on Yelp and hit the spot! We got the tofu mixed bowls and they were a yummy salad rice mixture with corn, black beans, tofu and delicious sauce. Only downside was we ordered add tofu for $2 each bowl and one was missing avo and the other only had a few tiny slices. But it was so tasty and affordable and easy to pick up that we still have it 5 stars!

    Their bowls really are just as beautiful as they are online. The amount of vibrant colors in my dish made it look so appetizing. The star of the show was indeed the carnitas as it was fatty and tender. The chicken was very juicy but seasoning left much to be desired; however the mole came to rescue with this one. Absolutely delicious and seems pretty healthy too. Would recommend.

    It's a ghost kitchen but the food did its thing not going to lie. I'm surprised it was so cheap too. Everything was fresh, tasty, and I don't have any complaints. Well I guess I wouldn't mind if it was an actual establishment, but the food is really good so 4 stars from me!

I love…read morethe convenience of ordering online ahead of time, and I appreciate how accurate they are with the wait times of when my food was ready. I tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap and the Margherita Pizza. My most candid thoughts: Margherita Pizza: This resembled more of a flat bread than a pizza. The sauce they used tasted like tomato pasta sauce from a jar and not necessarily pizza sauce. The dough tasted somewhat undercooked and thick, and the sauce and cheese did not stick well to the dough. Very bland in flavor. Huge portion though for the price. 5.5/10 Chicken Caesar Wrap: Very underwhelming as the chicken tasted dry and rough. I really liked the Spicy Caesar sauce though. It really spiced things up and added more flavors to the bland wrap. Portion was great and lettuce was fresh. I loved that they added avocados. However, it was definitely not the best Chicken Caesar wrap I've ever had and I would most definitely not be dying to order it again. 7/10 Parking is convenient as there is a free lot nearby. No seating inside as it's take out only.

I had 2 other experiences prior to this where the chicken seemed off but I kept trusting it would be as good as it when I first had Kismet when it first opened back in March 2025. On May 7th, 2026 at 3:30 PM I ordered for pickup my usual meat and potatoes plate. Weirdly, the order was ready for pickup in a couple of minutes when usually it would be ready in 10 minutes which would have been less sketchy. I should have trusted my instincts. I walked in to pick up my order and there were zero customers around, usually there are a few customers eating at the tables. Sign that the quality has dwindled and the regulars aren't retuning. I get back home to treat myself (I spent $28 for the meal plus a drink.) Much to my dismay I opened the plate and was so disappointed. It was half of what normally comes in the box but the potatoes were stacked high and of course extremely oily. I was like ok let's just eat this because I don't have more time to find another place to get food plus I've already splurged. The chicken was undercooked and rubbery and came with no chicken breast like it normally does just some boney legs. Since I was so hungry and paid the extra money for "light" chicken I still ate it. I'm sick now, the night of May 8th I'm still on the toilet. Save your money and go to Zankou if you want good rotisserie chicken they've been doing it right in LA since the 80s. Or Costco; 5$ chicken unless you want a $32 dollar chicken here to make you and your family sick and poor.

Music was playing a mix of Pitbull songs that evening, and the line had a good number of folks. A single unisex restroom was located outside around the corner, protected by a keypad lock. As recommended by my friend, I went with the half chicken to guarantee satiety, with my two sides being the white rice and house salad. Although we were eating in, the only utensils available were takeout plastic ones. I have to say, I had a great time eating that half chicken, practically inhaling it out of my hands. Very flavorful and succulent when hot and fresh. Although it was finger lickin' good, some self-control was in place. The white rice was okay, though it was a bit dry, and the salad tasted plain. The solution was submerging the two with aji verde. Wouldn't mind returning for more chicken or perhaps try their sandwiches.
