    needed to order a birthday cake for my dad, wanted something on the less sweeter side. ive never heard of a sweet potato cake before, both of my parents love sweet potato, sooo check and check. visited a few days prior to the actual birthday to put in an order. i was a day shy, so they need at least 3 days notice but, they were able to get the cake ready in 2 days. i paid in advanced for a small sweet potato cake $37.00 the bakery is very clean and organized service was great! pick up was easy! they had the cake ready. my parents both loved the cake. parking: smaller shared parking lot

    Cute little bakery in Gardena! They had a variety of different selections of korean bread like curry bread or black sesame red bean bread which I don't see often. Pricing is similar to the korean bakeries in Orange County and staff were kind.

    Korean bakery with a great asortment of breads and cakes. Cake I bought was delicious and loved that it had candles and cutting knife in packaging.

    My husband took a bite and said it tastes like peanuts. And my son got a bad allergic reaction after eating a few bites.

    The pastries are yummy, but DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY ALLERGIES! They use the same packaging for all of their baked goods whether or not there are nuts. So things with nuts in them will not be clearly labeled as having nuts. My mom even asked if there were nuts in anything she bought. They said no. Well, my son ate half a pastry (in packaging that said there were no nuts) and got a bad allergic reaction this morning. He still doesn't feel good and I am monitoring him after giving him meds. I am leaving this review to caution other people. If the pastries were properly and clearly marked and if the owners didn't reassure us that there were no nuts, I wouldn't have to leave this review. Again, the pastries are yummy but be careful if you are buying this for anyone with allergies! I am giving 2 stars because the owners are nice and the pastries are yummy. But it's not worth it if someone gets ill eating them!

    Love this bakery and visit it at least twice sometimes three times a week! Love the coffee danish bread, not too sweet. Just right and a little crunchy. I buy the walnut bread for sandwiches which is not like any other bread I've ever had. Makes a sandwich that much better. Love the little crunch from the walnuts. Jin there is. Sweetheart and always greets you with a smile. The little thin disk cookies with I believe almonds are so delish I buy two bags each time I go. I am addicted to this place and hate the weekends cause I always go in on my way to work.

    We had so many eggshells in the cake. The frosting is slightly different than most asian bakeries, it feels a little heavier and oilier.

    We were in the area when I thought of stopping in for dessert. Beard Papa is the only place open…read morelate in the food court of Tokyo Central. They are open 10am to 8pm, daily. I ordered an original with vanilla filling. The pricing has remained the same but the size of the puff appears to be smaller. They used to be presented in a cardboard food "boat," like the ones used for French fries. Now the cream puffs are served in a larger size cupcake liner. Hmmmm. There was a steady stream of customers while we were there. Ok, bye.

They do have some really good cream puff flavors, the vanilla cream is my go-to, and my kids love the chocolate. The customer service needs some work. Every single time I've been there, it kind of feels like the staff is just not thrilled to help, and that vibe definitely takes away from the experience. I keep coming back because the cream puffs are delicious, but I really wish they'd at least crack a smile or make you feel a bit more welcome. I did see a fly on a cream puff once, and while they did toss it out after I pointed it out, it'd be great if they covered the pastries so that doesn't happen. And be prepared to wait a bit because they fill the puffs to order, which is nice for freshness but can slow things down.

    We drove over 90 mins in 5pm Friday primo freeway traffic to celebrate my son's graduation at Wagyu…read moreButcher. I had seen some social media posts raving about this place & with this being located in the South Bay area, I knew it was going to be worth the drive. There are 3 different courses to choose from, Tenma Omakase $50 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, 5 varieties of wagyu meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Butcher Omakase $75 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Wagyu Omakase $90 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, Chef's special dessert. You have a choice of beef curry or upgrading for A5 Wagyu sushi $10 & adding uni for another $10. I got the Butcher Omakase with the A5 Wagyu sushi topped with uni. They bring the big slab of wagyu sushi & literally torch it to give it an added flavor. It was definitely good but I would actually skip the uni as the creamy flavor of uni & the fatty wagyu flavor cancel each other out. It diminishes the greatness of 2 amazing ingredients. The beef soup is a consommé made from the wagyu bones/trimmings & it has such a richness, the bold umami flavor really leaves you speechless. The pickled vegetables and kimchi were okay. I would have preferred spinach goma-ae or something like a small cucumber & wakame salad. Each course of meat was slightly different. There were 3 different cuts of tongue, all good but the cut from the underside of the tongue was a bit chewy. As each course came, the meat quality & flavor kept getting better! All of us agreed that the best & the star of the Omakase is/was the Wagyu Sukiyaki!! The sweet smell of the sukiyaki sauce drizzled over the wagyu as it sizzled on the grill was drool-worthy. Once it was quickly cooked, the wagyu is dipped into the whipped sukiyaki cream! It looked so weird but it was absolutely heavenly!! You can order small bowl of ramen or extra cuts of different wagyu but the Sukiyaki Wagyu is not available a la carte or as an extra serving. Darn it! The dessert was a Hoji-cha purin (pudding or more like flan). I've never had Hoji-cha purin & it was actually as good if not better than matcha to end the scrumptious meal. The service there was top notch, each dish was explained well and they cooked the meat quickly with attention to detail, good presentation. Our waitress even came out from behind the counter to take pictures of our extended family by the wall sign next to the front door! Wagyu Butcher has a wrap around rectangular counter seating only so it is a bit tricky to seat in a big group. We had 6 of us and it was hard to have a conversation with everyone. The only problem I saw with this seating arrangement was how they accommodate guests in wheelchairs or special mobility devices. Maybe they have a table in the back corner that I didn't see from where I sat. We all want to go back again for the next special occasion dinner! It was worth every minute of the drove down & more!!
