"Was looking forward to tasting what all the raving reviews were about! Wanted to avoid any lines so ordered for pick up. They don't pack your order until you get there fyi. Ordered fried chicken, fries, and cheese/beef/chicken empanadas -Fries- yummy! Love the seasoning on it. Tastes like lawrys seasoning. -Fried chicken- took a bite and didn't go back for more. Not crispy or salty enough. Too sweet. -Empanada- large portion which is a plus, but taste wise, mediocre and was too sweet as well.Overall result: won't be going back :"

"Waste of money. If you like the taste of artificially flavored, artificial food coloring flavor, fake drink taste, this is the best place for you. If you're not wanting to poison your body with chemically made drinks, I suggest you stay away. Came here with another person. We both took a sip of our milk teas threw them away. Waste of money."

"This is definitely my go to spot for delicious cheese steak sandwiches. I mean it is literally the only thing on their menu in terms of main dish, so you can only imagine how good it is. The beef is tender and flavorful. The bread is fresh and a combination of a crunchy crust with a wonderfully chewy core.Get it with their homemade Poblano cheese sauce and everything else on it, you can't go wrong!For side dishes, the onion rings are my favorite. Super crunchy and a perfect blend of thick onions and crispy batter.In fact I don't think there's anything on the menu I don't like! Try everything if you can :"

"We ordered the Cuban sandwich, the feta sandwich and two potato balls and one sweet corn cirque. We weren’t expecting meat in the ball but it was still delicious even with the unexpected surprise.The plantain chips were fresh and had a good mouth feel. My only complaint is that we wished there was more tomato in the feta sandwich."

"I did not really eat Korean food during my 2 weeks in Japan, so I was craving Korean food. I've known of the bb.q Chicken chain for a while now, and I saw they had a branch in Alhambra. I cannot eat a ton of fried chicken on my own, but I saw that this restaurant had other dishes as well. I decided to come here and give bb.q Chicken a try.They had a free soda with Yelp check in. My wife got a diet coke, and I ordered water. The restaurant gives complimentary pickled radishes. The staff are very nice and friendly.My wife ordered the tteokbokki, whereas I got the kimchi fried rice. I was torn between the fried rice and the bulgogi poutine, but I also knew I wanted rice, so I got the kimchi fried rice. My wife and I shared our dishes. The tteokbokki was good, sweet and spicy. The rice cakes were a nice texture. The kimchi fried rice was also solid, but a bit spicy for me.Given how close it is to me, I will definitely come back in the future to try their fried chicken."

"It?s recommended by a friend. Really good spot in silverlake restaurants area. We arrived there at 2:30 but still quite busy. Only long table and a couple of tables available. Luckily the tables were turned around very fast. The food is great! Highly recommend the beef noodles! Please taste the broth before pouring the soy sauce or vinegar. The broth is simply delicious. The service was good, a white guy came to check how the food tasted. But another Latino g? guy literally passed the dirty tables a couple of times without cleaning and also had the attitude face. That?s why giving 4stars. Sorry, its not cool if you serve the people. ?"

The fresh and fine juices on the drinks menu perfectly complement the dishes of the restaurant, A catering service offered by the restaurant allows you to eat the dishes on-site or at the function. If you have not much hunger, you can treat yourself to one of the scrumptious sandwiches, a small salad or another snack, and you may look forward to the scrumptious typical seafood cuisine.
