The shaved ice was incredibly light and fluffy, and the combination of fresh blueberries, yogurt, and granola made it refreshing without being overly sweet. The Hojicha Bingsoo was a nice contrast. The roasted tea flavor paired really well with the sweet red bean and crispy puffed rice, making it a great choice if you enjoy deeper, earthy flavors. That said, if I had to pick just one, I'd still go with the Matcha Bingsoo - it remains my favorite here. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the café was clean and inviting. If you're craving bingsoo, Noon Korean Bingsoo is the place to go. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I usually go to Oakobing in Ktown, but I'm so happy to have a place this good much closer to home. My husband and I recently stopped by for the injeolmi bingsoo, and it absolutely blew my mind. It came topped with red beans, a rich peanut butter-like paste (I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it was delicious), a generous dusting of injeolmi powder, and condensed milk on the side to drizzle over everything. As you dig into the fluffy shaved ice, you're rewarded with surprise chunks of chewy mochi hidden throughout, and I believe there were even more red beans waiting at the bottom. Every bite was packed with flavor and texture. It was so good that I'm craving another bowl just thinking about it. *Drools* I'm not sure how busy it gets during the day since we've only visited after dinner, but we've always found plenty of parking. It's the perfect dessert spot to cool off on a hot summer evening, and definitely one I'd recommend if you're in the area.

Ended up getting the bread, charred cabbage, and the duck with a mole sauce. The bread comes with Tomat butter (not tomato butter) and the butter was decent. The bread felt very light with a charred crust. Interesting flavor that I can't pinpoint but the fluffiness made it worthwhile. The charred cabbage was a mixture of cabbage and other veges including shishito peppers and broccolini. Comes with some slight kumquat/loquat combo and nuts. Not sure I liked the charred flavor and couldn't done without the fruit and it just didn't really fit together. The duck comes with breast which had its fat rendered well but the mole wasn't really flavorful. It comes with a duck roulade of sorts and this was a letdown. Honestly not sure what the filling should've tasted like but it was odd. In the end of the meal, service was semi-non-existent. The server was swamped and nothing on him but it felt understaffed for the amount of tables there. In the end, Tomat is ok. I can see myself coming for a happy hour but I dunno if I wanna try again with dinner service.

I was greeted by the owner/manager, who took the time to welcome me and check in throughout my meal to make sure everything was to my liking. That level of hospitality goes a long way. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical about ordering Mediterranean food from a neighborhood coffee shop, but that skepticism disappeared after the very first bite. I ordered the white meat chicken kabob plate with hummus, garlic sauce, rice, and pita, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly marinated, tender, and full of the authentic Mediterranean flavors I know and love. It was clear this wasn't an afterthought on the menu--it was prepared with care and quality ingredients. Before leaving, I couldn't resist taking home a few pieces of baklava for the family, and they were the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. I'm happy to say I've found my new local spot whenever I'm craving a great coffee, breakfast, or a satisfying lunch or dinner plate. If you're an Inglewood local or just passing through the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Luua Caffe. I highly recommend it--you won't be disappointed.

Stopped by Strips n Dip x Keokias Kitchen in Inglewood for brunch, and overall we had a really enjoyable experience! One thing that immediately stood out was the atmosphere. Every table had games like UNO, dominoes, or playing cards, which was such a fun touch. It really encourages people to put their phones down and spend time with each other while waiting for their food. The music was a vibe, and I was told they usually have a DJ on the weekends, which makes me want to come back. The pricing was also great. I ordered the 5-item breakfast for $20 with French toast, breakfast potatoes, turkey sausage, grits, and I added chicken. We also tried the fish and grits with eggs and toast, plus the smothered turkey with rice and gravy, green beans, yams, and mac and cheese. To finish everything off, we shared the peach cobbler and one of their Kool-Aid drinks, which was delicious. One thing that made this visit especially meaningful was that the restaurant was wheelchair accessible. My dad is recovering from a stroke, and being able to comfortably get him inside to sit down and enjoy breakfast with us instead of eating in the car meant a lot to our family. The service was friendly, the portions were satisfying, and the overall experience made for a great brunch outing. If you're looking for a casual brunch spot in Inglewood with good food, reasonable prices, and a fun atmosphere, Strips n Dip x Keokias Kitchen is definitely worth checking out. read more

Rusty Pot Café

Howdy folks. In this edition of Nasty Nathanial's "Nasty" reviews I am going to be telling you all…read moreabout a groovy little place called The Rusty Pot Cafe. What is there to say about The Rusty Pot Cafe? Actually, there is a lot to say and I am going to get into that right now. So strap on your safety belts because we're blasting off to good ol' Inglewood. Located in the heart of Downtown Inglewood, this place truly is a gem. I first came here back in 2018 when myself and a fellow activist known as the Angry Gay Pope came to Inglewood to do an infiltration of the Scientology Org located directly across the street. I could go on and on about that place. But this review isn't about Scientology. It's about The Rusty Pot Cafe. But before we could begin our work, we decided to go grab a bite to eat. This was how I first discovered The Rusty Pot Cafe. So fast forward to 2026, I found myself back in Los Angeles. I had traveled there with a friend of mine who had some legal matters to attend to at the LAX Courthouse. We won't get into that either. So instead of sitting around in court all morning, I decided to head on over to The Rusty Pot Cafe. I ended up walking all the way from the LAX Courthouse over to Downtown Inglewood. For those of you reading this who live in LA may be asking yourself, why didn't he just take the Metro? That's a good question. By the time I arrived at The Rusty Pot Cafe I had worked up quite an appetite. One of the first things I noticed upon arrival is that they still had the same style sign hanging over the entrance. It's like one of those banner type of signs with the businesses name and phone number on it. You know the kind you'd see hanging on the side of a flatbed truck during a parade. I love it. I like how they haven't changed the sign's style. To me a sign like this ads character to the place. Plus it brought back memories from my original visit here. Upon walking into The Rusty Pot Cafe I was immediately flooded with a boatload of memories. This place was exactly how I remembered it. White walls with black tables and pieces of art hanging on the walls. It's not over the type flashy. But not a Plain Jane kind of a place either. More of a humble kind of a feel. Just enough character to make you feel right at home. Or at least to me it did. Anyways, I walked over to one of the tall tables and sat down. It wasn't long before I was greeted by a friendly, and handsome, Latino waiter. He was friendly and had the smile of a Hollywood actor. But not a phony kind of way that you see at a lot of restaurants where the servers are constantly trying to upsell you. It was that of a waiter who really cares about the customers he is serving. He didn't hesitate to bring me some freshly brewed coffee. This really hit the spot as would the burger that would soon follow. Now I'm not going to be shy when I say that The Rusty Pot Cafe has the best burger in all of Los Angeles. I know that may seem like a bold statement. But it's true. I've eaten at a lot of burger joints in and around LA and I've stuffed some tasty burgers into my belly. But none of them have tasted near as good as The Rusty Pot Cafe's burger. It puts In-N-Out's burgers to shame. The angus beef is soooooooo delicious and they cook it just the way meat should be cooked for a burger. Not well done and not rare either. But just enough so that those wonderful flavors come out of the patty and into your mouth. My oh my did this hit the spot. So did the flavor able fries that were served with the burger. Seriously The Rusty Pot Cafe's house burger is AMAZING! I highly recommend it. This burger is better than sex. The service at The Rusty Cafe is also top notch. The waiters were very attentive and are always checking on the customers to see if any of us needed more coffee or water or another margarita. Hold it. They don't serve margaritas here. You got to go to Los Amigos for that. But I think you get the idea. I really dig this. One thing I hate is when you go somewhere to eat and the servers let your drink go empty. Then you got to flag someone down in order to get some more coffee or whatever you're drinking. That is such rubbish. But that is not a problem at The Rusty Pot Cafe. Their servers will make sure your cup gets refilled before it goes empty. These folks are right on top of it. So if you have gotten to this point, I am sure you will see that I really love The Rusty Pot Cafe. I live about 3 hours north of Los Angeles and I would make a trip down there just so I can go eat at The Rusty Pot Cafe. And that's real talk. So if you happen to be in the LA area and want to fill your belly with some delicious food, I highly recommend that you make the trek over to Downtown Inglewood and check out The Rusty Pot Cafe. I know I will. Plus I'd like to see that handsome waiter again. Wink, wink. Thank you for reading and may the burgers continue to be better than.... Ok, ok. I think you get the idea. Happy trails.

Cool little place. Food was delicious and atmosphere cozy. I had the chicken and waffles and the Mr. Had the fried catfish sandwich. Service was wonderful I believe our server was Miguel. We will definitely come back.

Tried The Toast & Jam in Inglewood today. Walking in was a little confusing at first because there…read moreisn't really a host stand or podium when you enter, you're basically walking straight into the dining area. I had read reviews mentioning a sign-in sheet and noticed a yellow notebook on the wall, but before we even got to it, one of the servers greeted us warmly and asked how many were in our party. He let us know there were two tables available and let us choose where we wanted to sit, which was nice and easy. To drink, I ordered the Sunrise, which is lemonade and orange juice mixed together. It tasted exactly like what it sounds like, refreshing, but nothing super memorable. For food, I ordered the breakfast burger with truffle fries. The truffle fries were good and came with a honey mustard dipping sauce that I actually really liked. I almost wanted to ask them what brand they use. The burger had very fresh ingredients and didn't taste bad at all, but overall it was pretty basic. I do think it could've used a little more sauce, though thankfully it wasn't dry because of the avocado, tomato, onion, and other toppings. My friend ordered the catfish and waffle with two wings on the side, and honestly her food seemed to be the standout. I tried some of the catfish and it was flavorful and well seasoned. She really enjoyed her meal and ate most of it. Overall, I wouldn't say the food was bad at all. Everything tasted exactly as described on the menu. For me personally, there just wasn't anything that made me want to come back and explore more of the menu. But if you're looking for a casual breakfast/brunch spot in Inglewood with friendly service and decent food, it's worth trying at least once.

Lonell's Soul Food Cuisine

The best soul food not in Grandma's kitchen…read more My family and I had a 5-star experience at this soon-to-be LA staple. We were greeted at the door by security, who opened it for every customer. His attitude was pleasant, and he had a genuine smile. Not one of those false demonstrations of civility. When you walk in, the smell of the food automatically turns you from hungry to excitedly starving. One of the keys to good food is the aroma from the kitchen. We were ushered to the back, Sunday Church pun intended. Our server got us wonderful drinks. Then we ordered our food, and when those soulful southern dishes arrived, it was the crown jewel of the experience. They looked as good as they tasted. We not only enjoyed the food, but Lonell came and chatted with us. He was genuinely concerned with the quality of our food and service, which was exceptional. On the way out, we asked for a picture and promised to come back whenever we are in the LA area. Please try this for yourself and post your favorite food.

Lonells -- Juneteenth Experience…read more Live music drew us in, but the visit was deeply disappointing. I wrestled with writing this review precisely because it's Black-owned, but the experience spoke for itself. Ambience and service were positives: a warm greeting from Lonnel, sweet waitress, and a friendly bartender. However, beef was unavailable on the day despite Friday/Saturday promises, and the food failed to justify the price. A friend's fried chicken arrived raw--we know what cooked fried chicken should taste and look like, having eaten fried chicken plenty of times. The chef dismissed the concern and offered only a $5 discount, eroding trust in safety and quality. Overall, none of the dishes hit the mark. The hospitality was the bright spot; otherwise, the experience did not reflect the concept or value. I wouldn't return, but hope for improved consistency and safety. Giving it 1 Star for our waitress and the bartender.
