    Nothing will MAKI me more happy than quality sushi, and @orderhidozo definitely delivered!…read more The Michelin-awarded @sushinakazawa has definitely been on my to-eat list for a while, and I'm so glad I can now order their bento boxes to be delivered right to the comfort of my home with @orderhidozo ! Their menu features 5 different sets options, which include nigiri, sashimi, rolls, and sides. I was SO impressed with the high quality and freshness of every cut of fish, as well as how generous the portions in each bento box was, especially for the price point! Definitely check them out for affordable + quality sushi delivery in LA on @doordash ! Featured here: THE DEEP DIVE ($54): designed to emulate the full counter-side experience. 8 pieces of nigiri, 4 tuna maki, and 3 pieces of tuna sashimi. THE DIY ($29): A hand roll kit featuring four kinds of fish, rice, seaweed, and two side salads. The most hands-on way to enjoy omakase at home.

    I expected so much more out of this spot since Chef Nakazawa is a michelin star sushi chef from New…read moreYork but sadly, it just didn't hit the mark. I ordered for pick-up at 11:30 and the initial notification from the restaurant stated my food would be ready by 11:45. I knew parking would be bad so I left a little early and at 11:24 I received a message saying my order was ready. If this was almost any other type of cold food, I think it would be fine to let the food sit and wait. But for hot foods or sushi like this, a 20 minute jump in time isn't great for someone expecting their order at least at 11:30 so although I appreciate my food being ready sooner, it's not always a good thing. The other issue is the kitchen or pick-up area. HiDozo Van Nuys is in a ghost kitchen set up with a tiny lobby and no signs or directions on whether you're even in the right space because you don't know which restaurants are here. I had to deal with 5-6 food delivery drivers that didn't know their heads from their asses and just hung out in the lobby. There is one girl working that is very sweet and trying to manage it all but this just isn't an ideal pick-up location. I ordered the Deep Dive box $54 along with an order of chu-toro $8 and unagi $8. There is no question that the food looks stunning and the presentation is exceptional. The bags and boxes are all high quality and better than what you typically find for takeout from Sugarfish. Sadly the actual sushi presented a mixed bag of feelings. I started with the tuna sashimi which was cut perfectly and tasted great, then moved onto some of the nigiri including the hotate, salmon, albacore, and hamachi. The fish is all absolutely delicious, buttery, rich, tender, and flavorful. The issue comes down to the rice. The rice is pretty dry and bland. It's also clear that nobody is hand forming this rice. It looks WAY too perfect and symmetrical, and every piece looks exactly the same. Even the most skilled sushi chef with decades of experience could not get sushi rice this exact every single time. So I did a little digging and videos on their Instagram don't show the rice ever being formed by the chefs. It's always ready and the chef simply takes it from one hand, adds the fish, and forms the fish over the rice, never once actually making the rice himself. Before I moved onto the tuna nigiri I had the unagi and although soft and buttery, it was ice cold and clearly not charred or grilled. For $8 (which mind you, is the same price as the chu-toro) I would've expected quality at the level of the chu-toro. As for the tuna nigiri they were all fantastic. At least, the fish was. The rice was still meh. The tuna, akami, toro, and chutoro were all buttery, soft, and you could definitely tell them apart. But sadly, once again, the rice was not great. Here's the kicker - the rice in the futomaki roll was actually good. I wouldn't doubt that the fresher rice is kept and used for the rolls because the texture and bite was so much better. The minced tuna was a delight and this was one of my favorites here. Overall, with the price of $70 before tax, it would be nice if HiDozo actually focused on the rice considering a chef of this stature wouldn't and shouldn't neglect the key component of sushi. Any person with a spec of food and cultural insight knows that "sushi" means vinegared rice so the toppings are a second to the rice and don't have to be fish or seafood related. But still, this isn't a place I would revisit or recommend.

    Amazing gumbo! Found this place randomly and decided to try, it did not disappoint even when it was…read moretogo. I am a picky person but I can say this gumbo beats so many known cajun restaurants across states and I had been to a lot of them. Will definitely come back (love the hot sauce too )

    Amazing gumbo I just had! All from a business running from a residential building…read more So I'm sure you're wondering if it's worth ordering from here and I'd say yes. Especially if you want great gumbo and cornbread. Things to know: First off, the food is delicious. Second off, this place has an A rating for food inspection. The place is a registered business (or else you couldn't list yourself on Google Maps) Besides... you live in LA and have survived danger dogs. That A rating should help you feel relieved, either way. If not, the smile you receive as you get the food hopefully will. You have to go up a few stairs on the left to get to the spot. Don't worry, there's signs that'll tell you where it is. Parking situation is a rough during rush hour but you should be able to squeeze in the street. You get some beads with your food, which is cute. Sounds like a fun thing to get if you ordered delivery while you're drinking at home (or work) with friends. So yeah, the food is great. It's super well made. The quality is what I was hoping for from a place that specialized in gumbo. Much like how I would expect the ramen to be good when they serve nothing but ramen. 100% recommend getting the cornbread with the gumbo, btw. I totally ate most of it while I was driving home so I'd say I recommend getting extra. (they're conveniently bite sized. I couldn't help. Lol)

My husband and daughter have allergies and different dietary requirements, so coming up with meals was doing my head in. Marcia came in and saved the day.

I was so pleased with her understanding, work ethic, attention to detail, and her flexibility that I decided to double down and hire her as my personal trainer as well. Her meals are consistently portion controlled, and it's great tasting and she has a variety of flavorful recipes so it's not like picking which weight watcher frozen dinner to have. On top of this, her food is very reasonably priced. in my experience with her this past year has been stellar and I've recommended her to family and friends. Whichever service you choose, you simply can't go wrong with Marcia. Thank you Marcia for all you do so well! :)
