But I was glad I came to this place. Love the atmosphere. It was energetic, a bit loud, and has a cooled retro night bar with neon signs. The alcohol display behind the bar was a spectacular view/design. It's high, making it looking pretty against the dim backdrop. We ordered four dishes, Dan Dan Mian, sichuan eggplant, chili wonton, and duck bao. The Dan Dan was unique. I didn't expect it to be spicy like all the other ones I've tried. But it was amazing! All of them were! Reservations are strongly recommended since it gets filled up pretty easily. Lastly, I want to give our waiter, Peter, a huge shoutout for being so attentive and engaging. He was on top of it! Great energy and very friendly.

I ordered the dan dan myun noodles and General Tso's cauliflower. Overall, Little Fatty puts some fun, gastro pub style spins on classic Chinese dishes. The space is moody and intimate, making it a fun spot for a date night or drinks and small bites. I found the dishes to be a little on the sweeter side for my taste. Personally, I'd recommend it more as a place to grab a few small plates and drinks rather than somewhere to go for a full meal.

Pez was our server and she was so helpful with our menu choices. We had the handmade dumplings, spring rolls, and imperial rolls. Plenty of food for 2. Everything was flavorful and fresh. We loved the spring rolls and the imperial rolls most of all. The dumplings were delicious as well but the rolls were full of flavor and lots of crudites with them which we loved. The parking at the point can be challenging so patience is a must. There is lots to see and shop at this wonderful shopping/eating center but Little Sisters is a must! So many healthy and fresh menu choices!

Cosmo was 10/10 Lemongrass Beef 7/10 as some of the beef was dry. Garlic noodles 4/10 tasted watery and they were overcooked liked they had been boiled way too long. Chicken and Shiitake Rolls 8/10 the flavor was up and down but mostly good. The leftovers did smell really bad in my car so I had to throw them out while I ran errands before I made it home to finish them.

Really enjoyed breakfast at Ladybug Café on S. Western Ave. I had the Hawaiian French Toast, which…read morewas delicious, and others in my group had other solid breakfast choices, Bob's Omelette and Breakfast Burrito. If you come with a group, it's worth having everyone try something different so you can get a better feel for the menu. Also, because my French toast would have felt a little carb heavy without some sharing The portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is cozy-casual and welcoming. Great local spot for a relaxed breakfast

The service here is so good I started checking my pockets to make sure I didn't accidentally tip BEFORE the meal. These folks are friendly, fast, and have that "we actually like our jobs" energy that instantly puts you in a good mood, aside of my morning coffee. The food is solid and comforting. The kind of good that makes you nod at your plate like you're agreeing with it. You know what I am talking about. Every dish comes out looking like it knows it's about to be appreciated. Flavorful, satisfying, and zero drama, just how I like my meals and my relationships. Ambiance is casual, clean, and chill. It's the type of spot where you can roll in wearing gym shorts, eat like a champion, and still feel classy. No weird vibes, just a clean space that lets the food do the talking. Ladybug cafe is the kind of neighborhood spot you keep in rotation, reliable, tasty, and pleasantly unbothered. I'll definitely be back... probably sooner than my diet would prefer. Miguel C.

Came here for happy hour and snacks with a couple of girlfriends on Cinco De Mayo…read more The Laelia Blanco tequila served neat was the drink of choice for us all and it was smooth. For snacks, we shared: Thai Chicken Katsu - it was nicely breaded and not overly fried with a refreshing side salad Crispy Rice Salad - very flavorful with great textures with the crispy rice Cinco Chuchito - it was good Brussel sprouts - really heavy on seasonings I was not prepared for all the heavy flavors and it wasn't bad but it was a lot. The service was nice. We came here because all of the locations we wanted to try were really booked with long waits. I was surprised there was no wait or not many people here on such a busy night. Glad we got to try it and cross of the list. The décor here is also really interesting with an open kitchen and patio. Also, speaking of open kitchen, there's a 3% charge on the food that's call Kitchen Love. Not sure if that's the standard at restaurants in the area or if it's on the menu but that can definitely rack up with a full dinner with friends. As for parking, there's meters if you're lucky to snag a spot or there's plenty of parking structures in the area.

We got the seollongtang and the pork gukbap. Both were hearty and delicious. The pork belly in the gukbap was SO tender the fat dissolves in your mouth. The bachan selection was standard, but their kimchi really stood out. It's much more flavorful than your standard restaurant or grocery store kimchi (not watery or one dimensional tasting). The inside is modest and cozy. Not tiny but not quite comfortable enough for large groups. Service was warm and welcoming. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back again. We were also pleased to learn that you can purchase a big container of their kimchi! The staff filled up a 32oz container of kimchi for us to take home, which was $8.

But was hungry and tired so in I went. Plus other Yelp reviews were good. On the menu, all beef options were crossed off. Chairs inside were stacked against the wall. Two tables with no chairs around them. I pulled a seat from the stack to sit while I waited for my food. I was thrilled with my food! It was mouthwatering good. I had the Kung Pao chicken and white rice. The serving was generous. I could smell the food as it was cooking which made my wait that much more pleasant.

I highly recommend it, because not only was the good delicious, but the staff was friendly. It was a cute, and clean little spot.

If you're not coming to Sausalido Cafe you're missing out on more than just great tasting food!…read more I've been here a few times and the owner, Julius, is always there greeting you when you first walk in, welcoming you with a genuine "hello" and bright smile whether it's your first time or you've been before. I stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch and knew I was going to get the curry puffs. The last time I ordered these I was with a friend and had to share but not this time. I was on a solo lunch and looking forward to the puffs! To say they are "perfect" seems insufficient. They were fried incredibly well, hot, crunchy, tasty, but never greasy. And these little puffs were filled with minced beef, potatoes, and seasoning! For my main dish, I chose the dragon noodles (pad thai) with chicken. All the veggies in the dish were cooked perfectly, nothing too mushy, just the right amount of crunch/bite to the cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. And the chicken was chunky! And while I loved everything about the dish, the sprinkling of the crushed peanuts was *chef's kiss*. There's no skimping on those peanuts here. As I write this I'm excited for the leftover noodles waiting for me. When you walk into Sausalido you really do feel welcomed. The space is unassuming in the best way possible. Posters of the drinks they offer (coffee, smoothies, boba) adorn the walls, along with pictures of the various food items they have. The restaurant is across the street from Alondra Park and there are other businesses in the center. So, if you need to do your laundry do that and grab a meal at Sausalido. Get a massage and then get food at Sausalido. Get your nails done and head next door to Sausalido for a treat. Get here and get here quick!
