    Sweet Potato Crème Brûlée
    Brian W.

    Lefty Gelateria is a new popup gelato spot started by Michelin chef Suyoung Park. This small popup doesn't seem that spectacular as it is a little stand in the lobby; however, the flavors of the gelato were all superb. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but I think it was worth it for the flavors, my favorite being the Sweet Potato Crème Brûlée. The service was pretty friendly and efficient, although it was something that I would rave about. Overall, Lefty Gelateria is a great, new gelato spot that I highly recommend checking out!

    come! here! my friends and i were not expecting much and thinking it was just another new gelato place, but if i could give this place a 6/5 stars i would. flavors tasted extremely fresh, and the strawberry sundae was SO unique! had multiple flavors in one and the creme brulee top made it extra tasty :P for the regular flavors i really liked the mandarin, and my friends loved the date/pecan. store front is pretty small, but theres a good amount of seating to the right of the register in a bar-looking area. would for sure come here again!!

    Lefty Gelateria knows how to hit the sweet spot--literally. I tried the Mandarin Sorbet and the Date & Pecan flavors, and both were absolutely delicious. The mandarin was bright, refreshing, and full of natural citrus flavor, while the date and pecan had that rich, nutty-sweet balance that just lingers perfectly. I also tried the Sweet Brulee Sundae--and wow. Creamy, crunchy, caramelized perfection in every bite. The atmosphere is also worth noting. It's located inside a hotel, which gives it an elevated, cozy vibe with plenty of seating--a nice bonus for relaxing and enjoying your dessert without feeling rushed. The staff? Super friendly and genuinely kind. They didn't hesitate to offer us samples so we could find what we liked best. You can tell they love what they do. If you're looking for a spot to satisfy your sweet cravings in a chill but classy setting, Lefty Gelateria should be on your list.

    Decided to be a tourist in our own hometown and stumbled onto this place. Oh my! We tried all 6 flavors and they were all delicious, but the Mandarin Sorbet was amazing! They are inside a hotel near 9th St and Broadway

    Came across this gem at a pop-up party in Culver City, and I'm so glad I did! The gelato was probably the best I've had in LA. We tried the sweet potato brûlée and date flavors--both were so good and we went back for seconds. Super creamy and not overly sweet. Definitely need to check out this location and try their other unique flavors!

    I usually don't post unless I HATE the place or I LOVE something about the place and today... It's the latter. I don't think I've had such a unique and amazing flavor in my 48 years of fat life. The date is absolutely THE BEST ice cream I've ever had in my life. I'm diabetic and I sacrificed my A1C to eat this. I would do it again and sacrifice dialysis treatment towards the end of my life

    As of now, September 2026, this is the best burger I have ever eaten…read more We got the Cali burger. It comes with grilled onions, Softies sauce, pickles and white American cheese on a Martin's Potato Bun. Let's get the obvious out of the way. In order for your burger to be as good as possible, it has to be on a Martin's Potato Bun. The white American cheese Softies uses melts better than any cheese I have ever had on a burger. My Wife made the comment and I agreed, the way the cheese melts along with the grilled onions makes this better taste like a cheesesteak during some bites. The pickles are also really really good. The combo of grilled onions, sauce, pickles and melted cheese would be great on almost any burger however; the way in which Softies preps the pickles, the cheese they use and the cook of the patties makes the perfect burger. What really added to the meal were the fries and the limonada. Most places you get a really really good burger or really really good fries. Softies have both. The fries were hot, crispy and contained a really good seasoning. The limonada is made in house and accompanied the meal really well. This place is located on USC's campus. So the atmosphere is great. The employees were really nice and seem to be genuinely happy. Service was also quick, especially for it being packed on a gameday.

    Okay, this place rules. Smash burgers, fries and Stevie Wonder playing on vinyl. That is basically…read morethe entire review. Burger had those properly annihilated crispy edges you want from a smash burger, soft bun, pickles, melted cheese and nothing unnecessary getting in the way. Fries were hot and crispy. Then you notice the turntable and Stevie Wonder sitting behind the counter and realize somebody here understands exactly what kind of restaurant they wanted to make. Would absolutely come back.

Husband and wife team, Fred & Nyesha, are personable and great people! Now, here's are my favorites: pork ribs, brisket and OMG! The Beef Rib is AMAZING when it's available! (I think the beef rib is most available on weekends but I keep hope alive during the week. You might get lucky. LOL). Tender meats and never dry. The rub they use (Fred's own recipe) is perfect. I always get my bbq sauce on the side because I don't like my meats drenched or swimming in sauce. The sauce is their own and it's good too but the thing for me with BBQ is when it's REALLY good, you don't need any sauce. This BBQ is THAT BBQ if you feel me. lol. My favorite sides are the greens, beans and Mac and cheese. Oh yeah! And the peach cobbler is a TASTY treat! All homemade delectables! Also, their daughter's Hibiscus Punch is good too! The only drawback is when you are fiendin' like an addict for their food, you have to wait until one of their business days to get it. lol. They are in different locations during the week (but the upside is that they are regularly at their weekly locations - UCLA, Westchester, and USC and usually a Saturday in View Park). But they are only at the locations from 12 noon to 2pm (lunch). Makes me crazy when I forget the day that's most convenient for me or I get busy and not gonna get there in time. Saturday hours are a little longer (till 4pm OR until they run out). Check them out on their IG page @RibsinLA for their schedule. My dream for them is to have a Brick and Mortar store so I can get it anytime the mood of my tastebuds hit me! Try it. You will not be disappointed. Ribs in LA is a Chef's Kiss!

I just so happen saw it on Tock and thought I'd try it out because the menu sounded good and we want to support our local businesses as much as we can! Chef Aaron is without question a talented chef!!! We appreciated every amount of thought and creativity to put a meal like this together, on top of that making sure it is easy to prepare at home and still taste good! The quality of ingredients were top notch and the flavors were robust and perfection! The menu we had tonight is below. I'm not a gazpacho or melon fan but both dishes surprised me and we really enjoyed it. I also really liked the mushroom eggplant appetizer, and the Osso Bucco was wow! I could've just licked the au jus from the plate if I wasn't so full! Portions are very generous and the kits are very reasonably priced!! We will definitely try his other take out kit menus and once restaurants reopen and this whole COVID situation is under control, we will for sure be dining at his location! Please support our local chefs and try out Chef Aaron's take home kit which I ordered via Tock. I believe changes the menu weekly or so. Thank you Chef Aaron for an amazing dinner tonight! Until next time! - Confit eggplant, olive and wild mushroom bruschetta - Compressed heirloom melon and fresh burrata salad - Smoked Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho: Tutti Frutti farms tomatoes in classic southern Spanish style with olive oil, artisan bread, roasted garlic, and smoked paprika - Sweet Pea Risotto: regenerative farmed sugar snap peas and carnaroli rice with goat butter and reggiano cheese - Braised Osso Buco: Stemple Creek, completely regeneratively pastured, dry aged beef shank braised au jus with red wine shallots and carrots - Grandma's Graham Cracker Crust Honey Sweetened Cheesecake

    Wow!!!!!!!!! My girl…read morefriend brought me to the Bull & Dragon for my birthday, and it was with out a shadow of a doubt the best dinner i have ever been treated to. The private dinner parties are hosted in Chef Aaron's back yard. It is a very adorable back yard. He has a nice little garden that is just off to the side of the dinner table, and as it turns out a lot of the ingredients come from that garden. The concept of small garden to table and to be able to see the garden that your food comes from as you eat is wonderful and really adds to a great culinary experience. As it turns out Chef Aaron bases his menus of of what is local and in season, so with that in mind i wont go into what the dishes where as you most likely wont have the same meal. Chef Aaron truly is an amazing talent. Every dish he served us was not only beautiful put together and visually stunning he really does know how to construct a perfectly balanced dish that flow seamlessly into the next course. Along with his ability to server amazing dishes he knows exactly what wine too serve with his food. In our 6 courses we where poured 3 different wines and i now have 3 new favorite wines. Chef Aaron served me the absolute best dinner i have ever had, and when that was paired with the cozy back yard setting and the fun of a small dinner party it made for an unforgettable experience i can not wait to come back and see what magic Chef Aaron has cooked up!!
