We had an after movie double date with my cousin and her husband, and we landed at Eureka. We got…read morethere in time before HH ended at 6:00pm. I chose one of each of the taco's. One fish and one shrimp and I also ordered the fracho's. My wife ordered the HH bone in wings. She said it was good but not worth the $11.00 price tag for four pieces. Malia was a great server. She was very nice and very patient with our many questions. The food came out in the appropriate amount of time. Overall it was a nice and pleasant visit.

Not too bitter or heavy, just something easy to drink. Sometimes you just want to sit at the bar, enjoy a cold beer, and relax for a bit. Nothing fancy, just a good cold beer. Would definitely order it again!

The food here exceeded my expectations. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a great sear and was…read moreincredibly tender and flavorful. We also ordered the ube Basque cheesecake, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had recently--rich, creamy, and not too sweet. Our server, Sergio, made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations without making us feel rushed. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere that's great for date night or dinner with friends. I'll definitely be back, and the cheesecake alone is worth another visit.

DINING While Black…read more The 908 Restaurant Environment 1-5: 5 I really appreciated the ambiance and decor of the space. After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.

Came here for my husbands birthday dinner. I have been here at one other time for a friend's party…read more We had about 16 people with us. It was extremely affordable, considering how many people we had. Including all of the food,.. two whole chickens as well as two pizzas along with salads and breadsticks and brisket as well as ribs and some other stuff and drinks we paid under $400 for everyone. When I tell you by the time we got to the outside patio to sit down the gentleman at the front was all ready bringing out the appetizers. He was so kind and friendly. I wish I could remember his name... Really nice guy. We had several kids there and no one complained about the noise or kids running around a little bit outside. The restaurant is clean and welcoming with a warm ambience from beautiful lights hanging everywhere. Definitely coming back!!

It's tucked…read moreinside a business complex, but it's pretty easy to spot once you see all the people gathered outside. We were able to get seated right away, which was lucky because the place was already packed with hungry diners. The restaurant has a great vibe, almost like a modern take on a classic diner. The atmosphere is lively, the staff is friendly, and service was surprisingly fast considering how busy they were. For drinks, we ordered the Horchata Cold Brew and Strawberry Matcha. The Strawberry Matcha was really good. You first get the matcha flavor followed by the strawberry, and the two worked really well together. The Horchata Cold Brew was my favorite. They might have gone a little heavy on the cinnamon powder, but personally, I thought it was the perfect amount. You can also really taste the cold brew, which gives it a stronger coffee flavor compared to a regular iced coffee. For food, we ordered the Eggs Benedict, Country Fried Steak, and Ria's Healthy Pancake. The Eggs Benedict came with house potatoes. The hollandaise was flavorful, and the eggs were cooked perfectly with that nice runny yolk you want from a Benedict. Definitely something I would order again. The Country Fried Steak came with house potatoes, wheat bread, and sunny-side-up eggs. The eggs were cooked well, the gravy was tasty, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. Ria's Healthy Pancake was also a nice change from your typical buttermilk pancake. It had walnuts and banana, giving it a different texture and flavor while still being satisfying. My only minor complaint was the house potatoes. Ours came out a little on the cold side and felt like they may have been sitting out of the warmer. I was hoping for more of that fresh, crispy crunch. Nevertheless, the seasoning and flavor were there, and that's what mattered most to me. They also serve mimosas and other alcoholic drinks, which makes this an even better option for a weekend brunch. Overall, we had a great experience. Good food, fun drinks, fast service, and a great atmosphere. Off Street Cafe feels like one of those local gems that regulars already know about. Definitely a brunch spot worth adding to your list. We'll be back!

Food is good. Service it hit or miss. Got there earlier than their usual Sunday rush today and was…read moreseated along the booths facing the kitchen/bar. Was fun to watch the hustle and bustle (and not-so-hustle of some). But BIG note for the manager/owner (and others who are concerned about it), almost ALL the FOH staff was chewing gum while working which is not just a health code violation but also just gross. Hopefully this gets addressed soon. I'll note, my server didn't check on us a single time. We were out of water and coffee by the time our check was dropped off. I will say, facing the back, I did see her (and other staff) go to the back and chew their gum, touch their phones, and drink their drinks without washing their hands and coming back up front (also a health violation, btw). As I mentioned, I've had good service in the past so I'm leaving it at 4-stars.

Katsumura has this yakiniku charcoal grill option that I have been wanting to try and finally had a…read morechance to go with just myself and my son. When we first got in they sat us at a two top and right away I need that table would be quite small for what I was planning to order, so we asked for a bigger table and they were kind enough to accommodate us. Ordering was quick as we new exactly what we wanted. We went with the all beef combo yakiniku. The guys were very organized and really worked well with each other. They immediately brought out our sides and dipping sauces and got the grill started for the coals to preheat. I knew that other table would be small as the charcoal grill took up the other half of a four top. I was surprised that they started cooking the meats for us, as I was prepared to do it myself. The experience was fantastic and the meats were very tasty. I really loved that the guys like tag team to check and cook the meats for us. The service was very smooth. Can't wait to take my wife next time for a nice dinner date for two.

Katsu and udon combo was so good but so much food haha. We originally thought it meant a side of udon NOODLES. Not a whole bowl of udon soup. We were shocked to say the least. But it was still so good. Got seated right away! And the service was very attentive. Place was nice and chill low lighting. One of the guys who I think is the owner was very nice and energetic talking to all the tables. He's probably one of the reasons why we will be coming back again! And to try the Gyu Katsu!

Revisit? Definitely. Great for weekend breakfast…read more Sunrise Cafe never disappoints. It's just what a casual diner should be: delicious, generous with the portions, and efficient. I usually order the Popeye Omelet with home fries and toast. Everything is seasoned well and the ingredients taste fresh. Other things I've tried include the Chilaquiles, French Dip, Kids Scrambled Egg Breakfast with French Toast, and Posole. Everything is classic and reliably good. You'll think, wow, I'll probably need a box to-go, but somehow you'll eat it all in one sitting! Sometimes you have to write your name down at the check-in stand out front in order to get a table. But I've never had to wait too long. The servers really pay attention to anything you might need without rushing you or asking lots of questions. So I think that's how they keep the wait time short. The vibes here are just 10/10 for a family breakfast. Our toddler likes watching the model train that circles the upper windows of the restaurant. It's busy so there's lots of pleasant background noise. You can watch the traffic go by on Lakewood Blvd. Prices aren't too steep. I've ordered takeout and delivery from here as well and never had any complaints. Parking can be hard to find in the lot right next to the restaurant but can usually be found right away in the back lot. Overall, just a nice neighborhood spot to eat.

Had I not stumbled…read moreupon it during my childhood visits to the Cerritos Town Center, I might have never given it a second look. Chef Richard, in his later years, continues to craft delectable dishes and his warm and inviting hospitality makes you feel like a cherished guest. However, please note that reservations are mandatory. In February 2025, I had the pleasure of dining at Arte Cafe with my closest friends, and this month, I was delighted to bring my husband along. We savored a delightful array of dishes, including the sashimi, lobster bisque, and the succulent rack of lamb. To conclude our exquisite meal, we indulged in the decadent crème brûlée. The service at Arte Cafe was nothing short of exceptional. We were treated to an intimate dining experience and almost had the entire restaurant to ourselves. It truly is a gem that deserves to be cherished and preserved for generations to come.

Everything was delicious and tasted fresh and homemade. The pancakes were very fluffy and had that "gorditas de mano" aftertaste that immediately reminded me of the ones my grandmother used to make. That homemade flavor really stood out to me. The wet burrito came with a homemade chunky salsa that was SO good! My wife's flaky French toast came with fresh, sweet fruit--not canned--which was a nice touch. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. The food took a little longer than some places, but to be fair, we were there right when they opened, so they were probably just getting everything fired up and ready for the day. The ambiance isn't anything particularly special, but the restaurant was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Overall, great food, good coffee, friendly service, and a few flavors that brought back some really good memories. We'll definitely be back!

Honestly, where do I start?…read more The outside might be a little ugly... outdated... but don't let that stop you from going inside and getting food. It almost stopped me lol. It is pretty tiny inside, around 6-7 tables but it's nice looking. The customer service was great there was only 1 server but she was moving. She was always making sure everyone was okay and happy. The food was decent, my highlight was the French toast, the crust on it was amazing and the whipped cream was also amazing. I enjoyed my food. The cafe de la olla was amazing just like any other Mexican place but that French toast def left a mark for me I would come just for that. Breakfast burrito was mid, it was missing a salsa and some seasoning but besides that it was like anywhere else, the hash browns were def different lol but not a bad different. Thank you!

The cashier that helped up out provided exceptional service. There were a lot of items in the menu, so my husband and I were just standing there staring at it lol. The cashier was very helpful with recommendations. He even let my husband sample the beer. When we decided what we wanted, I got the Stand Out Burger and my husband got the bbq sandwich and a beer. And we both got onion rings and sweet potato waffle fries to share. You can also request as many sauces on the side as you want. We got the house sauce, Meyer lemon aioli, ranch, ketchup, and mayo. For a regular burger, the Stand Out Burger was delicious. The burger patty was nice and moist. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, just how I asked for it to be made. I added extra pickles (that were free and available at the counter). My husband really enjoyed the bbq sandwich. He's a big bbq lover, I don't really care for bbq. When I tried it, it was very saucy and bbq forward. The sweet potato waffle fries were one of my favorites. It pairs well with the house sauce and ranch. I kept dipping it in what I thought was the Meyer lemon sauce, but turned out to be mayo (lol) and I kept saying the sauce didn't taste of lemon. But the sweet potato waffle fries actually pairs well with the Meyer lemon sauce too. Another favorite was the onion rings. It had a nice thin batter and when you bite into it, you get that crunchy texture. This pairs well with the ranch and ketchup. We would definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

We got back for the beers, burgers, and onion rings…read more Same quality, super friendly service, clean dining area. Never dissapointed at the Stand. The Stand burger is so tasty. All the ingredients are fresh. Well balancing... Especially brioche bun is premium. As Tap beers, we tried 3 different flavors, Indian ale, my mango, one more flavor...everything was great. $1 OFF for loyal members. My hubby likes the onion rings. Today was the same taste, super crunchy. We like the Stand because the service and quality are super. Next time we will be back for the movie. So close each other, Regal Edward's and the Stand. Perfect place for the movie and good eating.
