Review based on take away:…read more We decided to try out this well-known spot for dinner and ordered the kimchi brown butter chicken sando,Honey walnut shrimp sando, and curry cheese waffle fries. I'll discount the ever so slightly soggy bun because this was our fault for waiting about an hour after taking delivery to enjoy lol. The winner of the bunch was absolutely the kimchi brown butter chicken sando, a close second is the honey walnut shrimp sando. The kimchi and mac and cheese balance perfectly and I appreciate particularly how well the mac and cheese pairs with the chicken!! I thought it was going to be a heavy sando - bunch each bite was actually quite refreshing! The fries were extremely well flavored and dipped in the curry sauce was a flavor explosion! We even tried the curry sauce with the sandos - highly recommend!!

The place has an old school nostalgic feel with cool classic signs. They definitely represent Los Angeles and the Dodgers. What's the best thing overall is their great sandwiches. I ordered an 11: ham, turkey and cheese sandwich, and it hit the spot. The service is great. The staff is friendly and the sandwiches come out quickly. It's usually busy around lunchtime because there are a lot of offices around there, but the great thing is, you can order online and just pick up the sandwiches so you don't have to wait around! Love Eastside deli!!

I finally got to try Howlin' Ray's again. The place was busy, but that's pretty much what I…read moreexpected. There was a line, and a lot of people were waiting for their food. I ordered the quarter bird with mild spice, fries, and banana pudding. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the mild spice level was perfect for me. It had a little kick without being too spicy. The fries were really good and seasoned well. I also enjoyed the banana pudding, which was a nice sweet treat after the meal. One thing that stood out to me was how friendly the employees were. Even though it was busy, they were welcoming and provided great customer service, which made the experience even better. Overall, I had a great experience. Between the delicious food and the friendly staff, I can see why so many people recommend this place. I'd definitely come back again when I'm craving hot chicken.

Winner Winner Chicken errr... Lunch…read more So we are always skeptical if there is way too much hype surrounding a eatery. However in the case of Howlin Ray's the hype is justified. The staff were super friendly and on point The Food: (A word on heat. They have 6 levels from Country with none to Howlin. We can take a decent amount of heat. I went medium and my son went hot. The medium was just the right balance with a nice burn especially on the back end. The next level, hot, was also really good and hit close to our limit) The Sando: a nice sized chicken breast perfectly fried. The chicken was moist but well cooked and the batter was seasoned perfectly. The slaw added a nice crunch to things, the comeback sauce added richness and the pickles added a brinney crunch to offset the goodness. The bun put up a valiant effort but about of the way through it gave up and the Sando became a fork affair. The Slaw: It was just okay, on the sando it was perfect, on its own, just okay The Macaroni Salad: Glorious, simply glorious. Whatever spicing they were using with the fries seemed evident here giving it a reddish hue. The the bits of dill, onions, and pickles helped balance the whole thing perfectly. This would be right at home on a North Shore plate lunch. Shake Fries: Perfectly fired crinkle fries shaken in that spicing they use. Dipped in the comeback sauce or on their own they were awesome. Banana Pudding: OMG so good. With the traditional vanilla wafer on top. Rich and luscious it was a perfect end to the meal. The only downside? This location is small and if you want to eat there there are only a few tables. Parking also sucked. Those thinks aside excellent place

I added the spicy haberneo peppers and it kicked up the knots big time. Mmm! Then I added droplets of chili oil. Boy, that made my delicious pizza spicier. LoL! There is a public parking right next to the restaurant, or you can park on the side street with the meter. Staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back with my family.

Instead, he proceeded to help several other customers, including a male customer who walked up after I had already been waiting. After sitting there being repeatedly overlooked, I left. Maybe it was an accident, but in a sports bar atmosphere where the guys seemed to get immediate attention, it didn't feel great. I can't speak to the pizza because apparently as a woman getting served is a bigger challenge.

Plenty of noodles and beef to go along with it + all the sides. I would go back again when I'm around. Very filling and comforting bowl of soup!!! The sugarcane juice was so so good. There's a hint of orange in it for added flavor, and it works perfectly. It's a bit expensive at 7 dollars, but it hit the spot. Honestly, I'm not hesitant to spend 7-10 dollars on a cup of coffee, so maybe it wasn't truly that expensive. The restaurant itself is fairly unassuming and may not look as fancy and in order as some more new wave places, but the flavors here can't easily be replicated. Easily some of the better pho I've had in LA. Granted, i was really hungry, so that could have factored into the score. Places like this are what i love so much about Chinatown. The atmosphere inside is incredibly welcoming and there was a steady flow of customers coming for the Vietnamese coffee. I'm sad i didn't get to explore this part of the city during its prime, but im happy places like Gigo's are still around to enjoy and appreciate. Give it a try if your around the area and craving some pho.

Definitely hits the spot if you're craving pho. Service had a couple hiccups though. It took a while to get our drinks, and we actually got our food before them. When the drinks finally came out, they brought the wrong one--we ordered a honeydew boba but got taro instead. We had to point it out and get it corrected. Overall, great food but service could be a bit more on point.
