We loved the images /mural celebrating Jamaican and rasta culture. Seeing Marcus Garvey made me feel at home in NYC too ! the place was very clean and calm. We received friendly service and advice on our travel plans. The jerk chicken was amazing and I am so grateful I may never need to cook it again for my family! We ordered a medium to share as we are light eaters it was enough. Next time we will get some of our favorite sodas or Ting we spied ! We will be back and maybe end up on the wall of customer fame ! Thank you for our delicious Sunday meal.

Naked Kitchen was a fantastic find this past weekend and I'll know we'll be going back as soon as…read morewe can. Really hearty breakfast and brunch food with a perfect Asian/American blend. Outside looks like a converted warehouse space and that theme is kept on the interior. It's really a nice decor the combines industrial theming with unique lighting, splashes of bright color and wall decor that includes hanging cookbooks. You order at the front. The kitchen is visible and everyone was pleasant and very helpful. You take a number to your table and the service was very quick. Most of the food comes with some sort of aoli. That's not my thing and they were very agreeable to take my order without it. My wife raved about the crispy deviled eggs, the Brussels and the fried rice. Her entire meal was a sampling of the excellent sides. I was fortunate enough to order a "special" that turned out to be one of the best things I've eaten. The Fried chicken sandwich was easily the best I've had anywhere. I ordered it without aoli and the honey butter was plenty. It was huge, perfectly fried and flavored. Inside was juicy and cooked perfectly. The most brilliant thing was the bread. It was milky and sweet. It was a sandwich but had the vibe of elevated chicken and waffles in taste. It was amazing. The potatoes on the side were likewise hearty, flavorful and the perfect blend of savory and sweet, crispy and soft inside simultaneously. Both just brilliant. I highly suggest you try this gem. You'll be glad you did.

My top favorites at the moment are the cold sesame noodles, kung pao Brussels and orange beignets. They make the noodles fresh in house! Every bite of Brussels packs a flavor bomb. The beignets are creamy fluffy goodness and I'm not even a sweets gal. I do order a main but add on 3 sides cause how can one not try them all. Haven't tried an item I didn't like. Was at a community event and this place came up. The whole group of us could not stop singing their praises. Also, the folks who work here are some of the sweetest around. It's super comfy, welcoming and kid friendly. Great for groups or a casual hang. I forgot to mention the fresh seasonal juices. Like I said this place is my new favorite to take folks and keep trying rotating items. You will not be disappointed.

Hopefully they get it together food wise because it really is cute in there and I'd like to hang out... but at this point I would probably get chips and drinks not dinner... And they add a 20% tip to the check at the end. I have mixed feelings about that. I usually tip that anyhow... but if I had a really terrible server I would not appreciate that and it's not disclosed upfront. Servers do deserve to be taken care of,,,, So again ... on the fence about that as there's really no incentive to make sure people are enjoying their food or getting their needs met...but YES they deserve to be tipped well when doing a good job.

The chicken salad sandwich on their sourdough bread grilled is beyond! The owner recommended trying it with the bread grilled and my goodness, perfection. The Heavenly Bakery next door has amazing baked goods including cookies, cakes brownies and they have tons of treats for gifts. Also make beautiful party cakes I have seen going out the door. A must try in Riverside and just minutes from Avondale, but worth a trip across town! Quaint atmosphere with home made flavors.

Like a lighthouse on a darkened shore, Bar-B-Q Sticks is the cure all for hangovers of beachgoers…read more I woke this morning, sand in my face, seawater in all the wrong places, and the shame of last nights mischief cresting over like the waves trying to pull me off shore, least to say I was famished. As I waddled over to the nearest house to beg forgiveness and fries I happened across Bar B Q Sticks. The girlboss lady owner say my wretched state and said the last thing any woman on the precipice of a bad relationshipwith a toxic man would, "I can fix him." Right she was though, i ordered 20 lumpias with 2 bao buns and 6 chicken bar b q sticks, she was kind and sweet, the food came out within 10 minutes and was delicious in the way that you would think your mother wrapped you in a cloth and settled you in a manger cause God decided you were the goat! And as the tremors of my alcoholism faded I got to enjoy this Second Coming of Sobriety with a gorgeous view of the beach! 10/10 would recover here again

I usually shy away from this especially since Covid due to sanitary concerns, but all my worries went out the door when I put the food in my mouth!!! Pancit - 8/10 - great flavors, the noodles were a little dry but that may be because it was sitting out too long. Shrimp obud - 10/10- absolutely delicious! it had bamboo shoots in it and the curry was so flavorful I could drink it. Dinuguan - 7/10- it was tasty but couldn't get over that it was pork blood.... Pork Adobo and Chicken curry-8/10- both had great flavors. Really friendly guy behind the counter that recommended the best dishes.

One of our favorite places for Filipino food! We occasionally come here when my husband misses his…read moregrandma's home cooking and this cafe never disappoints! The cafe is more on the smaller side but it's cozy and the customer service is always happy and friendly! When you walk inside, there's a hot bar with all the food items available that day. You can check their Facebook page for their menu each day! You can get combos like an entree and a side, two entrees and a side, etc. On the shelves near the windows, there are local Filipino desserts like crinkles, puto (rice cake), flan, etc for sale. They also sell mac salad in the fridge and some dried fish on the shelves. What I love about this cafe is that they have a small snacks/drinks/candy market next to the dining area. The dining area is a good size and faces the parking lot. On this particular Saturday, we had the following entrees and sides: Lechon (roasted pig), Kaldereta (Filipino beef stew), and some rice! The lechon pieces were big and the skin (my fav!) was crispy, salty, and golden! The meat was also juicy and not dry. What I like to do is dip the meat into some white vinegar to give it some acidity since the lechon is on the heavy side after a few bites. The Kaldereta was hearty, rich, flavorful and it reminded me of an elevated beef stew. The potatoes and carrots literally melted in my mouth! I gave my combo plate a 8.5/10! My husband had Humba (braised pork belly that is slow cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, fermented black beans, and sugar) and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He shared some pieces of it with me and it was smooth as butter. It was sweet and salty and his rice soaked up all the sauces. Definitely a must try! I would give it a 9/10 because the flavors were so rich and it made me want even more! The prices are reasonable for how much food you're getting! They also sell desserts like halo halo (shaved iced with fresh fruits, taro ice cream, toppings like flan, condensed milk, jellies, beans, etc.) I've personally had the halo halo and it's one of my favorites! Super refreshing on a hot summer day. They also sell mango and taro flavored cakes but you have to call in advance for whole cakes. Their cakes are light, delicious, and fluffy! I especially enjoy the mango cake because you get chunks of fresh, champagne mangoes on and inside the cake. We've been coming here for years and don't plan on stopping. My husband is a bit of a Filipino food snob at times, but Lola's definitely has a special place in his heart! They do military discounts too, FYI!

Birdie's Blackened Unicorn - Perfection on a Plate…read more I loved this dish! The fish get their name from a distinctive horn or spike protuberance on their head. You don't see this because the fish is now a filet. The meat has a firm yet flaky texture that is mild, slightly sweet with a clean taste. Think of it like a cross between snapper and mahi mahi. It comes lightly blackened but you can request different when ordering. The garnish is a topper of spiraled fried carrot and a tablespoon of avocado salsa. It has the flavors of guacamole but more of a texture similar to a chunky salsa. I could have used a little (lot) more. It's yummy and a good foil for the blackening spices. The rice is served plain. If you don't care for bare rice, ask for a gravy or a sauce when ordering. All in all, an excellent dish! So, when you come here, do look for UNICORNS! They are delicious! -

The first time, my husband had the smash burger and fries and my son had the same thing but the children's portion. Both raved about their meal. I had the mushroom steak burger bowl, it was delicious sitting atop white rice with brown gravy and green beans. The next time, both husband and son ordered the same thing and I switched it up to try the meatloaf stacker, wow! Once again, the meal was delicious and paired it with the corn casserole. I can't rave about this place enough. We ended the meal with homemade strawberry cake, another winner!! The service is wonderful, everyone is attentive and wants to make sure you're taken care of. Waters refilled, which is a rarity these days and food was served prompt. Although small, Birdies is mighty with flavor, service and cute decor! From the cuckoo clocks on the wall to the bird theme throughout, it's definitely welcoming and cozy and not that sterile vibe you get from some establishments. We can't wait to go back and now look forward to our weekly ritual, dinner at Birdies!
