    A great local spot good food, always hangout here after school. And the manager is the nicest dude always wants you to feel welcomed.

    Our order

    Very good service! Very delicious! Didn't expect it to be that good Seoul chicken sandwich is fire and my wife loved the chicken bowl. I highly recommend this place for friend chicken. You won't be disappointed Thank you

    Waiting for the "To Go grilled sandwich"

    Great wings and the new Grilled sandwich was great! Always hits the spot. Adrian will take care of you!

    The good: the sandwiches and the fried chicken, good value meal. The bad: the fries and the long wait time. The fried chicken is cooked really crispy and the sandwich ingredients go really well together. The daikon slaw is a nice touch and added a lot of texture and flavor to the crispy chicken and the bun. I got the Holdaak spicy, and thought this wasn't spicy at all. I think the sauce that came with it helped, but I think if I were to come back, I'd try the Seoul Spicy. It looked pretty intimidating so I was a bit afraid to try it on my first visit. My boyfriend got the Holdaak Orginal, and I thought this was just okay, mainly because his fried chicken really didn't have a lot of flavor, and there was no sauce that came with it (you have to pay extra for that). I find it odd that the original doesn't come with the sauce, but the spicy one does. They give a massive amount of fries, but I ended up not finishing them because it was just too much to a point I no longer enjoyed them. They're supposed to be Cajun fries, but the taste was too mild, I think from either not enough seasoning or not being mixed well. They were also very soft too, and didn't have much texture. I only got the fries because the combo meal was only $11.95, which is a steal for all the food that they give. Unfortunately, the service was really slow... it took more than 30 minutes for our food to come out, when it wasn't busy at all.

    Some of the best fried chicken I have had. Never thought I could come to highland park and find fried chicken. I ordered to chicken strips and they tasted like heaven!

    Love the AC and the service of this place! It rocks! Went to grub here with my best friend and it was definitely worth it! Best chicken deals you could ever ask for! Come by and get your face blown with chicken greatness!

    Holdaak is fire. I eat here at least twice a month. The chicken is always perfectly cooked and juicy. My favorite is the Holdaak sandwich with the Cole slaw. It's to die for. Service is always fast and good.

I searched everywhere around WeHo and came up short, so I did what any sane person would do: deep research and an early-morning drive to Eagle Rock Italian Bakery & Deli. Worth. Every. Mile. The place itself is adorable, and the employee who helped me was genuinely the best: patient, friendly, and clearly proud of what they sell (as they should be). I grabbed: 4 cannolis (2 chocolate because it's my husband's favorite, plus pistachio and traditional) A dozen assorted cookies A baguette because I wanted to do a proper Italian-style birthday breakfast Let me be clear: you cannot go wrong with any of the cannoli flavors. The shells were perfectly crisp, the filling was rich without being too sweet, and the first bite was an actual flavor explosion. The good kind. Not the alarming Yelp kind. Every cookie was solid. No duds. No regrets. And the baguette... I almost cried. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and exactly how Italian bread is supposed to be. I saw someone complain here about the bread "exploding" when they bit into it, and I'm not sure they know that's... literally the point? Anyway, more for us. I'm honestly glad this place isn't closer to my house because I'd be there weekly and would eventually have to consider Ozempic as a lifestyle choice. That said I am 100% coming back, just responsibly... and occasionally... probably soon.

It was getting late, so while I waited for the kid in the car at their activity, I went on The Heights website found an order form and placed an order for some sammies all in 5 minutes. I didn't even ask the hubs or the vegetarian kid what they wanted. I went with what I thought they'd like. 15-minutes later, I was picking the sandwiches up at the walk-in only shop. There was no line and better yet, they were wrapped up and ready to go when I walked in. The smiling lady asked if I wanted napkins or utensils. They have case after case of cold drinks so we picked out a couple of drinks, paid for those and left. It was easy and fast. Enjoyed the yumminess at home. I normally would save a half for another meal but my "Pasadena" hit the spot that I finished it up all at once. Quality bread, meats, cheese, fillings aka all the ingredients...to boot! PS the kid loved theirs and so did the hub. Thanks for making dinner: easy and delicious! There are no pictures because it was too delicious to take the time out and take any. Just order.

The tasty proteins, with the steak in particular, made the salad featuring seasonal veggies, goat cheese, and a tasty vinaigrette even more enticing!

Serving sizes are very generous and I highly recommend this place if you are looking for something healthy and maybe something hearty as well! Now that it's Fall, do not miss out on the Warm Fall Salad. I was told that menus rotate every season, so try it while you can! The salad with the steak as an addition cost about $21 before tax. Next time, I may opt for their lunch special which includes a half sandwich and soup for $15!

So, on our way home from spending the morning in Pasadena, we stopped in for a late lunch. It wasn't too busy when we arrived with a couple available parking spots right in front. The team member at the register was friendly and helpful as he answered our questions. Given our mutual love for pastrami, we decided to begin our experience with both versions -- House and Oinkster with chili fries to share. We were given a number, then got ourselves seated. Our order arrived just a few minutes later. Both pastrami sandwiches were pretty solid -- fresh and tasty. We can't say it's our favorite, compared to others we've had, but well prepared overall. I enjoyed the caramelized onions and red cabbage coleslaw in the Oinkster. The husband is a fan of the small container of horseradish mustard that comes with it. The chili fries were ok. The vibe is old school. The space is clean and bright. There was a constant flow of customers while we dined. It was apparent that most enjoyed having a beer with their meal. The husband on the other hand was admiring the Horchata smoothie. Maybe next time. :)
