Bought tickets for an 8pm entry on a Saturday. Reading the reviews made me a little worried about…read moreour experience but our experience was nothing like what I've read here. I'll start off with the parking. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center if you get there early enough. The decor was on par with the theme. The place is not big but every inch of this place was decorated. Definitely gave a Halloween vibe. My husband and I wanted to try the food. At the entrance I was told to ask a waitress about a table. Some were reserved already so we waited a little while. Paola hooked us up with a table about 10 minutes later. We ordered our food and some drinks and within 10 minutes we were eating. We ordered some wings a burger and Cajun fries. Everything was delicious and although the drinks are kind of pricey they were delicious. Paola kept checking in on us and once we were ready to close the tab, she got us a high top table by the area where people were dancing. She still would check in on us from time to time and even brought us some water. So shout out to her! The dj played good music and the whole place was vibing. Everyone was having a good time. They played music that made me reminisce of my high school days as well as current music. The only thing I was not to fond of was the bathroom. Only two stalls for the women's restroom and a bathroom for either gender. At times the line would be long. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves very much and would definitely go back next year if they do it again.

Luckily, my friend and I had a great time meeting new people (way younger than us) and dancing our butts off. The bartenders were so nice. Loved James. Hes super cool. The signature cocktails (I forgot what I had but it has vodka lol), was actually refreshing. Not overly sweet. Can't say much on food since my friend ordered fries. But otherwise, I hope they bring back more pop-ups (hinting for Xmas theme, guys???)

Dinner was superb, ingredients are of great quality, the whole team of chef and other staff are all friendly. Each dinner course was presented with clever mix of aroma, flavor, creativity, fun, and each one was visually-stunning. This team of chef 's passion for cooking great food together is so strong, you could taste it in the food. All 8 guests (me included) were seated at the same long beautifully-decorated table, next to an open kitchen that equipped with high quality cooking appliances. We were welcomed to walk into the open kitchen to watch the chef preparing our food. Overall, it was like having a private dinner house party hosted by chef friends. While enjoying amazing food, we also made new friends with other dining guests. I enjoyed this interactive evening very much, and I will recommend this to my friends and family.

...I'm at a loss for words by how horrible this was. I don't normally write reviews but I had to…read moremake an exception for this place. I'll try to be concise. This review is for the Paramount location. I got a few items: Dino rib, pork ribs, brisket, sausage, mac and cheese and corn bread. I'll start with the positives. The mac and cheese and corn bread were decent. Also they took 15 minutes to give me all the varied food I ordered which should have been my red flag to run, but I decided to live dangerously and was punished severely for it. Now on to the travesty, the meat. The theme for today was dry, old and shameless. The pork was somehow undercooked and dry. Which if you can endure the cruelty, is actually kind of impressive. The brisket resembled beef jerky. I'm including pictures of the brisket since those speak much more eloquently than I can. I love to cook and I infamously over season my dishes. But all these meats were at a whole another level. Not salty but aggressively peppery and just ham handed. The rub was flavorful but it blew out my palette instantly. Please take this to heart: less is more. In terms of meat quality? Cheap. My Dad is a butcher, I can tell. Everything being reheated did the meat quality no favors either. The seasoning was further exacerbated because the ribs, both dino and pork, were almost entirely bone. So you have a ton of seasoning on a lick of meat. It was a recipe for disaster. And price? Expensive, especially for what I received. Insulting for what I received. I'll end it here. I don't want to waste your time like this place wasted mine.

I ordered the Pork Red Chile and Bean and Cheese with Rajas tamales, while my boyfriend chose the Chik'n Green Chile and Spinach and Crema tamales. We both tasted each other's dishes. My favorite was the Bean and Cheese tamale, and his was the Spinach and Crema. The restaurant's interior was clean and unassuming, with lively music at a pleasant volume. The highlight of our visit was Jordan, who took our order and served us at the front. I would describe him as exuberant and genuine. His friendliness really made an impression on us, and he clearly knew the menu well, helping us make our selections. Everything looked too good to resist. If you have the chance, definitely come here. I have never encountered a place like it before, and the vegan tamales are a unique find that I haven't seen anywhere else.

It was Saturday afternoon and was craving some Samoan food. Saw OCI on TikTok so I decided to take…read morea drive. I ordered sosisi, fa'i, chop suey, palosami and the last 2 NZ sausage rolls. Sad to say that the NZ sausage rolls were not edible unfortunately I found that out when I got home (long Beach) and tried to eat one of the them. Rock hard and burned like it's been sitting out all day. Nervy to sell that at $4 a piece smfh. The palosami was really good but everything else had no flavor. How do you mess up sosisi? Idk if I came on a off day but I spent $80 and threw it all out. Also, the fa'i didn't even taste fresh it had this weird mafu smell. Sorry but I'll stick to Poly Grill and Poasa at least you know you're paying for quality and consistency. 2 stars for the palosami

They made you feel right at home and did a fantastic job with the dishes and pairing the drinks.But what really sets this place apart is their pre-dinner mingling and during dinner they have giveaways. It's like a little dinner party before the main event! The cherry on top? The chef explaining each dish that paired with the drink before it's served. It's like a sneak peek behind the culinary curtain, and it adds a whole new level of appreciation for what you're about to devour. If you're looking for a dinner experience that combines delicious food, friendly service, and an overall good time, this is the place to be. I can't wait to come back for another memorable evening. Cheers to the wonderful team behind this gem! Also they are located at the Nest. This event happen once a month and you should pre-order the ticket for this event.
