    Kimchi fried rice
    Leslie G.

    Street parking, but we found parking easily. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. Super clean inside. Presentation of food was beautiful. Water is self serve. Their crack coffee is basically a Vietnamese coffee or something similar. Super good. Both dishes were great, however, I will say they over cooked the egg on the fried rice. All good though! I like the way they cook their spam, a little more on the crispy side! To go containers and bags are also on the side for self serve. I'm not sure if spoons were available, I never really asked. However, there are knives, forks, and napkins on the table. I would definitely come back and try their breakfast burritos.

    The cilantro sauce on the side was an absolute winner!!

    Tried the breakfast burrito and my son also had one of their breakfast skillets, I just can't remember the names, but I've included pictures. My burrito was satisfying but it was either missing a specific flavor or had a spice that didnt sit well with the other ingredients. I know it had garlic which I love though. Nice little establishment. Bright, cool ambience. The food presentation was very nice. Parking can be funny. Coffee was good. Customer service was pleasant and quick. Would visit again to try their other dishes.

    Been wanting to try this place out and finally had some free time from work and here we are :) the restaurant is not too hard to find and there's street parking all around. I was able to find one right in the front of the stores. Yay! Grab a menu and sit and look it over or just chill at the counter and order upfront. I'm not a huge fan of that as they always ask for tip upfront and I never tip prior to getting serviced. In fact when I have to service myself I'There's a tip jar for cash tips which I used afterwards. I ordered pops pastrami burrito and my wife got the ube lava pancakes. I really loved the pickles inside the pastrami burrito, they really went well together. The burrito also came with a cilantro sauce and salsa (spicy) on the side. Both really tasty. The ube pancake was fluffy, hot and sweet. It had organic mulberry and blueberry on top. My wife was very pleased to have mulberry as that is a very rare fruit to see here especially organic. The waitress says it's grown from their own farm. It provides a lot of the organic ingredients in their food. They use to sell it at the shop when there were more. Overall: love the food, friendly service, thought the portion could of been more. The burrito was a bit on the smaller side. But we'll def be back to try out other items.

    !!! READ IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES !!! We told the staff member taking our order that someone in our group had a mild peanut allergy and asked if any of the dishes contained nuts. She was really quick to cut us off and say no substitutions even though we were just asking about ingredients. We went back and forth for a bit, and in the end, I'm not sure if she understood what we were asking, but nobody died so I guess it's ok..? If you have an extreme allergy or sensitivity, please make sure the staff 100% understands! Guava Lemonade (5/5) - Super refreshing and perfectly sweet Crack Fries (5/5) - Literally crack, seasoned well, and I recommend ordering to share! Original Breakfast Burrito (3/5) - I felt like this burrito was pretty average. As you can see from the photo, it was mostly tater tots, there were only two pieces of bacon inside, and I didn't taste or see any scallions? Our food came our pretty fast and the atmosphere is cute and cozy! Just taking a star off for the allergy incident and the mid burrito. I'll be back for the crack fries and to try other items though!

    Bites and bashes is adorable! Very busy for the breakfast rush so come early to get a table! The food is always on point. The coffee and matcha are good. Loved the Banana Turon Pancakes the most!

    Bites and Bashes is a neighborhood cafe serving delicious fusion style breakfast. Wonderful and cheerful staff. There are about five - six tables inside, but they have sidewalk tables set up, perfect when the weather is nice. The Filipino inspired breakfast burrito is amazing! All the Pinoy's favorite breakfast items wrap into one explosion of flavors. The Mediterranean Omelet is fresh, fully loaded. Portion size is big enough to share. I can't wait to go back and try more in the menu.

    Its our first time here with church family. The place was cute & clean. The service was superb thats why I gave 5 stars. Among the food that we ordered we loved most is the Ube pancakes. The rest was okay but definitely better compare to other restaurants. We are all happy & satisfied so we highly recomended this place too.

    Saw an IG reel on the "Filipino" breakfast burrito so we decided to give Bites & Bashes another shot after a few previous bad experience. We went on a Sunday and they were busy. The Asian girl who was behind the counter was rude. Did not greet us, instead- she was in a hurry to take our order and get rid of us. Ordered the "Filipino" breakfast burrito and the KBBQ Breakfast Burrito. We also ordered 2 iced coffees, 1 with cream. She made my coffee and added regular milk which I did not ask for. The Filipino breakfast burrito was the worst we have ever had. The rice was hard (probably day or two old), The Longanisa was not good and the lumpia inside was horrible. The KBBQ burrito was decent but very greasy. We made a mistake falling for the hype on the breakfast burrito. Service was one of the worst we had ever experienced. The food was almost as bad as the service. Over priced food for the quality. We will definitely not be going back.

    10/10 Bites & Bashes seriously surprised me in the BEST way! The food is SUPER good, like did not expect it to be *that* good. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, even though it was busy. They still made sure we were taken care of, which I really appreciated. I also LOVE that they include Filipino food in their Asian fusion menu Most Asian fusion spots focus on Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or Korean, so seeing Filipino options made me so happy! It definitely makes them stand out. Will 100% be going back. Highly recommend if you want amazing Asian fusion with great service!

    korean breakfast and crack fries
    Flora A.

    We came here on a whim after finishing a 5-mile morning hike and were starving. Safe to say... we did not leave hungry. It's a small and cozy cafe/restaurant, located on a corner in a neighborhood, so you can either park along Narbonne or find street parking nearby! When you walk in, you order right at the front, grab a number, sit wherever you'd like, and they bring the food out to you -- and quickly!! Even though we were super hungry, we didn't feel like we were waiting long at all. I ordered the Korean Breakfast and my boyfriend got the Spicy Chorizo Chilaquiles Breakfast Burrito plus Crack Fries. The Korean Breakfast lowkey reminded me of Pepper Lunch -- it came out sizzling on a cast iron pan and was saucy, savory, and so satisfying. The crack fries were crispy and super flavorful (the name makes sense lol). The burrito was delicious too -- my boyfriend skipped the beans, which I actually think was a good move because it let the chilaquiles portion really shine and keep that nice crunch. I feel like beans would've made it a little too heavy. Overall, such a solid, filling spot! Will definitely have to come back to try the drinks!

    Filipino breakfast burrito

    Food Decided to come here since I saw that they had a collaboration for a filipino inspired menu. For myself, I ordered an emeril's burrito which I think is their take on new orleans flavors, but I was still able to taste the filipino breakfast burrito as I was able to split it with another person in my party. We also ordered the banana turon pancakes and I got a matcha latte for myself as well. I am sucker for a good breakfast burrito and to be honest, their burrito wasn't the best. Flavorwise, I would say it was pretty good but definitely needed a bit more push especially the emeril's in my opinion. Still a good burrito nonetheless, just needed improvement. I would say my biggest disappointment as other people in my party pointed out was the rice, as we felt it was undercooked which kinda didn't do it for us in a burrito. Overall tho, we still enjoyed our time and the food as well. The best thing for me tho, were the pancakes. I am sucker for good pancakes and these hit the spot, they were warm, fluffy and the flavor of the banana turon was there and I especially enjoyed the fried toppings that put the dish on the top for me, I would definitely come back for the pancakes alone Service/Ambiance For a sunday brunch, the place was a bit busy but we still got seated pretty quickly, it's self service place wherein you order from the cashier and find a table and there wasn't much options for our party of 6. The staff were nice and we got our food in good time. The only thing that took a long time was the matcha latte I ordered but I understood since I ordered it late and after they had received a long line of people.

    Hands down the best breakfast burritos in the South Bay. Can't believe I just found out about this place recently and am so happy with the awesome find! A bit pricey but the ingredients taste super fresh and good quality too. The pico de gallo and salsa that comes with it are delicious as well. They do get pretty busy and if the phone lines are down, you can order online from Clover! Parking is pretty tricky. It's just street parking on the main street and residential. Also really random but the front door is very hard to open. I'll have to come back and try some of the other items on the menu!

    Nice minimal interior
    Mark B.

    Came back again - getting busier it seems. Good service. The interior is still basic but neat. Food is great. I veered away from my obvious Korean influenced meal choices and went for the turkey sandwich - it was one of the best turkey sandwiches I've had in a while! Parking still runs tight, but it can be found within a short walk.

    How's the parking?

    We found a parking spot few walks from the restaurant.Much better if you come a little early.

    Is the cafe back open now or opening soon?

    We are now open! We look forward to welcoming everyone back with new menu items!

    Does anyone know why they are closed until January 3,2023?

    We are closed to focus on our busy holiday catering schedule! We are so sad to be temporarily closed, but will reopen in January after the holidays. We miss everyone, and can't wait to see the community again soon!

When you walk in, it's like walking into a wine bar. At least that's the vibe I received. But it's a small family restaurant. Which is dope. Look like I arrived just in time for happy hour. The bar area gives this chill and intimate vibe especially with the many wine bottles being displayed. And the bartender is right there to service you with no problems. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Even the two older women who didn't decide to speak until Barbara the bartender sat a bit late of fried calamari in front of me lol. That indeed sparked great conversation amongst the 3 of us. Talking about calamari and sone other restaurants. I'm used to drinking my Moscow Mules out of copper cups so this grey one was different and it was smaller in size but the drink itself was definitely refreshing. Wasn't tryna rush it lol. And It's $7.20 during happy hour. The calamari for me could have been seasoned better or more. I also would've preferred it to be fried a lil bit longer. I love mines crispy or a lil bit hard and not so chewy. With that being said, Barbara said to let them know next time. However, I believe it's a popular item and I could see why, especially with the portion size. It's very generous indeed. For $10.80 I would too. Barbara made me a Mojito and it was perfect. Very refreshing. Took my time with that also lol. A price of $7.20 you can't beat that at all. Very good price I must add. I personally think and feel like the filet mignon tacos were fire. No lie. It was tender. It was flavorful. Good portion size. I liked the presentation and flavors coming from everything. They're not street tacos either lol I would definitely get those again but I think they're only available during happy hour. 2 tacos for $10.80 during happy is an awesome deal. Before I left I thanked everyone for their service and even had the opportunity to chop it up with some staff members. Everyone was real cool. Fasho fasho. Barbara even introduced me to the chef on my way out. I believe his name is Angel. Great dude !!! and we also had a great conversation. I love the location. I love the service.

While the food may not have been unforgettable, the great service and welcoming atmosphere would bring us back.
