I really only went for my two yr old to have fun. So I asked the front desk about tickets for the petting zoo & what rides & jumpers she'd be able to actually do, I didn't know she wouldn't need tickets for the petting zoo because she is only 2, only I would. but she knew & yet still tried to sell me the tickets or wristband (whatever it was) for the petting zoo over getting the 24 tickets for $40 (it just wouldn't have made sense when she added it up) if she maybe wanted to go on rides or a jumper, we'd need to purchase tickets for those but didn't need tickets for the petting zoo only I did. any who, I got the 24 tickets. The girl who was letting ppl in the petting zoo area was so freaking rude! I was trying to make it a great experience for my child & already spent $60 just walking in, & immediately get a rude person at the petting zoo. She let the gate slam shut on me & my 2 yr old when we walked up & I was like hi, are we able to go in? And she pointed at the sign, I'm like ok? I have tickets she's like & how old is she? I said, she's 2, she rolled her eyes & ripped however many ticket (I think 6) and let us in. Didn't say any rules about the animals or anything A random lady let me have the food she bought for the animals cause I guess the animals went crazy over it (didn't realize til I got the food from her) As soon as I got the food (with my 2yr old) the animals jumped on my child & instead of helping, the attendant yelled at us to do it away from her & to walk towards the back I didn't even have the food completely open yet & my daughter was screaming crying cause an alpaca & giant turkey jumped on her. Yet the lady just didn't want any of it near her.. never have I ever been to a petting zoo, where they didn't care about my child's safety!! I asked her if we were allowed to pet and/or hold the baby pigs, before I could even finish asking she said NO! I continued to try & finish my sentence & she just flat out said NO! again. I'm like ok...? I thought it was just me so I let a family member take my daughter back later & they didn't have a pleasant experience from the same girl. I also watched another family walk up & ask if they could go in & she pointed at the sign & walked away! Then, On our way out of the pumpkin patch, my sister in law & I were looking in a box full of pumpkins trying to pick out the ones she wanted & this lady who worked there started dumping more pumpkins in the box, on top of our hands like, hello! We're moving pumpkins to one side to grab a specific pumpkin & you just dropped those on top? I said out loud "that was rude" & another employee heard & she apologized for the other lady & she was very pleasant to talk to & helped us pick out a few pumpkins. Out of the entire place, we only came across 2 nice people! 2!!! I had 7 family members with me... I felt bad that we experienced that because I chose this place.

The jicama slaw was refreshing and delicious and I love the GRAINS! Chewy and delicious. The meatballs were alright, they were slightly too salty for me and the coconut curry was nearly nonexistent and was more like a milky coconut sauce. But it was still good, the ingredients were balanced well and the bowl had a variety of textures and flavors. Portions seemed small but it was just right amount and carried me 'til dinner! But I thought $10 for a food truck bowl was too pricey. (Spotted: Thurs Lunchtime outside of work near Culver City. La Cienega/Blackweider Rd)

Pico House has an amazingly unique concept, and I hope it starts to get some hype. What we have…read morehere is some HIGH quality meats, grains, and other fantastic ingredients you'll find in each of their bowls. I had the short rib bowl and was absolutely delicious. The meat was perfectly smoked tasting like bacon while all the rest of the ingredients extremely complimented each other. You can really tell that each person on this truck takes a lot of pride in what they're cookin, and that's clear based on the product that they're serving. Before enjoying my bowl, I was fortunate enough to try their onion rings. I gotta be honest, before receiving them I was expecting a standard onion ring. After the first bite I've already declared these as some of the BEST onion rings I've ever had. The trick is they pickle the onions first. It's so simple, but so genius. Unlike anything at a fast food joint, these o-rings are pretty light and not greasy at all. The dip that came alongside was also amazing (and orgasmic), to say the least. It's similar to a sour cream with other flavors. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, but I had to take it home, but actually didn't, due to being too busy dipping my finger in it to finish the rest. Make sure to try their desserts too as they have a pastry chef on the truck! The Pink Lemonade Cream Puffs seem to be their signature, but unfortunately they weren't on the menu during the time of my visit. I did however try the Stumptown Tiramisu and PB&J cakes. Both are succulent, moist, and a must try. Pico House is a great option for lunch and dinner that's not only healthy, but also delicious. Office Managers or Event Planners, I highly recommend getting these guys in for some catering.

I only went on the last day (Sunday), at around 12:30pm and stayed all the way until they closed (7pm). I'd have to say I was quite lucky throughout the day with quick lines, and seeing almost all I wanted to see/buy (no, I did not get a tattoo)! If you even slightly dislike Hello Kitty, don't even bother coming...or reading the rest of this review. It's like Hello Kitty threw up all over the place and turned it into the cutest place in LA. Going to throw some TIPS out....why am I writing tips when I don't know if there's going to be another one? Because I'm hoping there will be!!! +TIP #1: Pick up your badge prior to your event date - The Saturday before the event, friends and I were participating in the Hungry Hunt right around the event and they convinced me to pick up my badge after we ate so that I could avoid lines on Sunday. Thank goodness they did, because I avoided one huge line! +TIP #2: Pick up your free bag first - When I got in, I was about to head to the bags, but one of the staff members told me not to because the bags would be passed out all day so I should come back at the end. While I was waiting in line for something, I was checking out the Hello Kitty Con app and read that they RAN OUT OF BAGS! I jumped out of the line, raced outside to see, and was about to cry because the bags were indeed out! I ran back inside and started asking people if I could buy their bags off of them. Luckily, one family of 7 gave me one of their EXTRA bags! -_______-" +TIP #3: Walk around the market at least once really quickly so that you can see everything you want to buy. THEN buy it during your 2nd, 3rd or 4th round. I walked around the market about 5 times. Yep...I had that much time! +TIP #4: Pop-Up Shop - Every time I wanted to visit the Pop-Up Shop (which carries items exclusive to HKC2014), the wait was 3-4 hours! No way! Finally one hour before the convention ended, the line was super short and they decided to open it up again. I hopped in line and waited 30 minutes only! Woo hoo!!!! +TIP #5: Make friends...lots of friends. Yes, this place is crazy crowded...but hey, Hello Kitty fans all like to stick together! Also, Hello Kitty believes "You can never have too many friends" If HK says so, I say so too! Can't wait for the next one (crosses fingers)!

There's a hello kitty tattoo parlor, a hello kitty supermarket with different vendors, a hello kitty vintage shop selling classic hello kitty items from the past, a hello kitty game center and a hello kitty pop up shop selling exclusive Hello Kitty items! There are plenty of photos ops all over! From super kawaii cardboard cutouts to photo booths where you can make animated gifs, you are sure to be clicking that camera continuously. I certainly did and it resulted in over 400 photos in just my first day. I got to go to the VIP opening party and so was very lucky to see everything without the massive lines but the following day, the lines were crazy! There are definitely a lot of hello kitty fanatics everywhere! As a visitor to Hello Kitty Con, it's wisest to know which area you really want to hit and go there first before it gets crowded! I skipped the line to the pop up shop because it was a four hour wait just to get in (happy I saw it during the VIP night but sad I didn't get a chance to get my Hello Kitty Con coin purse! I had figured I could get it the next day and couldn't because of the wait). Ahh wish I got that HK coin purse replica :(, Nevertheless, Hello Kitty Con was an awesome experience! I got to meet Yuko Yamaguchi, Hello Kitty's head designer from Tokyo as well as some of the other designers and get personalized drawings. I got to see lots and lots of super kawaii items from Hello Kitty tea sets to paintings to plushes. I even got a makeover from Sephora. Overall Hello Kitty Con was fun and super cute! I am a big Hello Kitty fan and this Hello Kitty Con truly made me one happy kitty :).

I really like how frequently they get new home goods stuff. Right now, there's camping gear and Aldi's themed shoes for pretty cheap. Aldi's is where I like to get my frozen ahi tuna steaks for poke or seared tuna. The bad: I didn't see coconut shavings in the baking aisle here. Aldi's has a lot of groceries but they don't have everything. They don't have a deli or bakery section the way larger grocery stores have but they are bigger than Trader Joe's. The interesting: They have shopping carts that require a quarter in order to separate from other carts. It's a nice European system to get you to return your cart to the proper cart return location if you want your coin back. This store reminds me of Grocery Outlet.

Anywho l like Aldi but they need more competent employees that are humble and don't jump the gun on you like chill bill l don't care about you just do your job right...also some bigger items l usually Keane in cart and they just scan it from there but not her she's always special and not in a good way. ALDI for better.

03/14/25 It's been 6…read moremonths, since posting my review, see original one below and I still love my Farm Fresh to You service. I get it every other week. You can cancel or postpone deliveries, up until the day before; there are no membership or delivery fees. I'm usually up late, so it doesn't matter to me if they deliver late at night. It also helps if you give them a code to your building or a phone number they can call you at, so they can get in; the same way you give it to Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods, Doordash, etc.. I'm happy with the service and food. I recently tried the Corned Beef, from the Cream Co. Meats, along with the potatoes and parsley and really liked it. Photo below. The gravy was from Whole Foods. I also tried the Alexandre vanilla yogurt with the fresh blueberries and granola I added to my delivery and really like that for breakfast. I liked the blueberries from Farm Fresh, better than the blueberries, imported from Peru, that I got at Whole Foods the same week. The food tastes great and I get to eat healthy, while supporting local farmers to the Los Angeles area and/or California with the same money I use to buy groceries elsewhere. Corned Beef & Potatoes To make the corned beef: remove corned beef from the package and brine. Follow directions on the packaging to cover it in cold water in a large pot, bring to a boil, cover, simmer/cook on low heat for about 3 hours and 20 minutes. Not on the directions: I removed the meat from the water, placed it on a piece of aluminum foil and baked it in the oven/toaster oven for 12-15 minutes at 425 to crisp the top. Removed it from the oven, let it sit for a few minutes to cool, before slicing. While it was baking in the oven, removed any bits from the meat water, then boiled the potatoes in the water and made the gravy. Steak, Mashed Potatoes & Broccoli Peel about 3 large potatoes, cut into chunks, bring water to boil, add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, drain, put back into the pot, mash with 1 1/4-1/2 stick of butter, add a little milk, stir until mashed. Bring some water to a boil in a shallow pan, add the broccoli, cook for about 4-5 minutes, drain. Let the steak sit at room temp for about 15 min. Mix some softened butter with slices of fresh garlic, heat the pan on medium high heat, add some oil, cook the steak for about 3 min one side, then turn over to cook for another 2 min, add the softened butter w/garlic mixture, fresh rosemary, spoon the melted butter over it, remove the meat from the pan, serve with some of the juice spooned over it. Chicken, Rice & Lettuce Spread the Peruvian Pollo A La Brasa Seasoning Sauce and spread it over the chicken thighs. Let sit in the fridge for 30 min to a few hours. Line a baking pan with aluminum and spread a little olive oil on it. Place the chicken on the pan. I add a little olive oil to the tops of the chicken, but don't have to. Bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serve with rice & salad and spoon some of the pan juice over the meat. Both Peruvian Sauce and Sweetwater Creek chicken from Farm Fresh to You. Rinse 1 1/2 cups of the rice until the water runs clear. Fill a pot with a about 2 1/4 cups of water, add the rice, add a little olive oil, bring rice to boil, stir, turn to low heat and cover. Cook for 10 min. Then turn the heat off, stir, and cook for another 10 minutes. The residual heat should cook it without leaving water, but if there is still a bit of water, turn heat to low. Fluff rice with fork, remove from stove, let it stand still without cover for 5-10 min. Butter optional. True Origin Sushi Rice and Vital Farms butter from Farm Fresh to You. Chopped or sliced lettuce. Nunes Company Romaine lettuce from Farm Fresh to You. Steak Diane Let the 1 large steak or two smaller steaks sit at room temperature for about 10-15 min. Heat up a frying pan med high heat, add a bit of oil, cook the steak/s for a few minutes each side, remove them to a plate while you get on with cooking everything else, add about 1 tablespoon of butter with 2 sliced garlic to the pan, cook for about 2 min, try not to let the butter and garlic burn, then add about 1 package of sliced Shitake mushrooms and 1.5 tablespoons of butter, stir and cook for about 3-4 minutes, turn the heat lower, add a little bit of white wine, Cognac, etc. and let the alcohol cook off for about 2 minutes (don't let the house catch fire doing this), add about 1/2 cup of beef broth, a tiny bit of mustard, little bit of Worcestershire sauce and about 1/2-2/3 cup of heavy cream, stir, bring to a boil, turn to low heat and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to thicken it, add the steak back into the pan and some fresh thyme. Cook for about 3-4 more minutes, then serve with potatoes, rice, etc..

My girlfriend and I had a really frustrating experience with this company after visiting their…read morebooth at the Venice Winterfest. A rep approached us, explained the service, and asked for my email and payment info. I asked multiple times if adding my card would trigger any charges or shipments, and she repeatedly assured me it would not. She said nothing would be sent until I personally selected a box on their website. That turned out to be completely untrue. I later received an email saying my box had shipped, and noticed a charge on my account for something I never ordered. To make matters worse, we're leaving for the holidays, so the food will arrive while we're gone -- a total waste and extremely annoying. There is also no clear way to delete your account or request a refund on their website, which makes the whole situation even more frustrating. This experience felt misleading and dishonest. I'm requesting a full refund and immediate account deletion. Based on this, I cannot recommend this company.

That being said I have been to a ALDI in a nearby city and this was my first time at this establishment. The store has the basic signature set up. As we walked in there was security at the entrance okay to that. Store looked clean and well kept Pretty busy I went looking for some soft foods for me. Prices were pretty decent. Found Salmon for a great price looks very fresh also found some dry soups that would be great to make. One of the stocking staff I past was working like a well oiled machine stocking and organizing the shelving. Now understand this market isn't like major chains. They carry off brands that still are as good. I found a lot of good things I would not found at other establishments. Now I could have dropped a star for this situation but the other staff at this establishment were customer service. Noting the time which was around a little before 5 pm. I ask the current cashier for the code for the restroom. I have a lisp because of a dental procedure. I ask her for the code I got "What"? Like what do you need now attitude I repeated it she said oh as if annoyed. She called on the walkie. The next encounter was when I was checking out, like she was on a race to get people out no hello just started scanning and tossing things into the basket. She told me my total and to proceed foe payments. Then she ask my wife something and my wife told her we were together paying separately. As my wife was pulling forward she kind of pulled the basket away from her? My wife was holding on to the basket for support. Then she explained to my with she was going to use the basket for the next customer. Then my wife noticed she didn't give me my receipt. My wife got it for me. I was going to address a manager about it. But I let it fly.
