    BYO Omelet: bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and chicken
    CcXmm T.

    Tucked away near the west side of the casino, right by the entrance to the hotel guest rooms. It's easy to miss if you're not looking, but convenient if you're heading in or out of the hotel. The menu is relatively diverse, spanning Breakfast, Mexican, Asian, and Global cuisines. They also offer an express lunch deal for $20, which includes a starter (Caesar salad or soup of the day), an entrée (choices like cheeseburger with fries, pan-seared salmon, or spaghetti Bolognese), and a dessert (Lily's chocolate chip cookie). We came specifically for the steak and eggs, once advertised at $9.99 but now $14.99--unless you're a player's club member. The steak was under cooked and lacked any real flavor; we had to rely on A1 sauce to salvage it. The build-your-own omelet (bell pepper, tomato, spinach, and chicken) tasted as expected--like basic eggs with the listed ingredients, nothing extraordinary. Overall, don't expect anything to wow you here. Very slow during our visit. There was only one hostess and one server managing the entire diner. It took 10+ minutes for someone to take our order, and about 30 minutes before our food arrived. They seemed overwhelmed, and it was during off hours. Small diner space, seats roughly 30 people. It gets busy fast, and wait times can vary due to limited seating. The area felt cramped and noisy, likely due to the casino foot traffic. While smoking isn't allowed inside the casino, the diner still has a noticeable tobacco smell, which could be off-putting if you're sensitive. If you're in a rush or looking for something affordable and basic, this spot gets the job done. But if you're expecting standout flavors or quick service, you might want to explore other options nearby.

    Inside the commerce casino is this tiny little gem where you can get a delicious steak and eggs breakfast for just $9.99. Comes with two eggs made to order. Hash browns. And toast. The hash browns, eggs and toast are nothing to brag about. The steak itself (I ordered medium well) was actually pretty good. If I had to say so, I'd say better than Norm's and IHOP steak and eggs breakfast. The girls at the diner were amicable and attentive. I could eat this breakfast every single day if I had the time to do so. Will Definitely be back.

    We grabbed a quick bite before attending the boxing event at the Commerce Casino & Hotel. Mr. Banks is one of the restaurants and the menu looked decent so we decided to have a sit down dinner. I ordered the Cobb salad, minus the cheese. The ingredients were all very fresh and I enjoyed my salad. They put a lot of chopped up bacon and cubes of chicken breast. My guy ordered the spaghetti, and it was really really good! The sauce was flavorful and the pasta had a nice texture. I highly recommend this dish! If you're at the casino, make plans to eat here!

    I finally made the drive to Downey to try this chicken spot I have been eyeing for monthsssss!…read moreTheir parking lot is located in the back of the restaurant as street parking appears to be limited. They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised they still accepted our order only 30 minutes before closing. I had the mushroom wrap because it seemed like a healthier option. The vegetables inside were cooked well and nicely seasoned, but the wrap itself was a little dry. It came with a salad, which was a nice addition. I'd still return for the wrap. The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.

My favorite part about this place is that their restroom is SO CLEAN (for little tokyo!!). Never felt so comfortable in a restroom in LA until here lol. We visited during a Sunday lunch and it was not busy at all. Plenty of tables were open. We ordered quite a few things to share, we got to try the sweet potato cheese curry katsu, garlic suyuk, and the seafood pancake. Everything was so delicious! The garlic suyuk came out first and we all really enjoyed this one. The pork was so soft! The sweet potato cheese curry katsu was also really nice, everything was such a nice balance between the sweet potato, cheese, and curry was all a nice touch. The katsu was also very nice and crunchy! The seafood pancake was also pretty good too, very hefty. I would say it's a bit undercooked(?) so you can taste the batter a bit and everything inside of it, but I thought it was still pretty good since the top layer has a very nice crisp. Generally, portions are pretty huge so it's great we got to share everything. Overall, wonderful lunch here and 10/10 restrooms. Interior decor also very cute.
