I recently visited Juicy Hotpot at the old Jazz Cat location and happened to catch their 30% (25%…read moreoff starting 8/8) off the entire order promotion, which made the meal a great value. We ordered: * Herbal Chicken Hot Pot * Beef Shank Heel Meat * Beef Tongue * A5 Beef * Rice Noodles * Beef Omasum Tripe * Frozen Tofu * Vegetable Platter * Handmade Shrimp Balls * Abalone * Plum Juice The Herbal Chicken Hot Pot was good, with a nice herbal flavor. My favorite meat was actually the Beef Shank Heel Meat. Surprisingly, I preferred it over the A5 beef because I enjoyed the texture and flavor more. The A5 beef was good, but it wasn't my favorite of the meats we tried. The beef tongue was also good, although personally, I prefer beef tongue grilled rather than cooked in hot pot. For the other items, my favorites were the handmade shrimp balls and beef omasum tripe. The shrimp balls had a nice texture, and I really liked the chewiness of the tripe. The plum juice was another highlight. A large jar is $9.99, and with the discount, it's an even better deal. The jar is quite large and should be enough for about 5-6 people to share. They also currently offer a special for guests 60 years old or older: with a valid photo ID, they can enjoy one complimentary abalone. Service was attentive, the staff were quick in getting what we needed. Inside of the store is clean. Plenty of parking at the underground parking lot. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and especially liked the variety of meats and hot pot ingredients. With the promotion, I thought the value was quite good.

I had never been able to…read moretry it before because I could never remember its hours, and every time I came by, it was unfortunately closed. But once I finally made it in, it was definitely worth the wait! The service and food were beyond what I expected. Everything was so delicious that I couldn't stop myself from finishing every bite. I ordered the Hamburger Hayashi Rice, and the meat was incredibly moist and flavorful. But the real star of my palate was the Katsu Pork Curry! This dish was SO delicious. The pork was soft, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. I highly recommend giving this dish a try. Overall, I'll definitely be coming back. Great food, great service, and absolutely worth the visit!

We were specifically wanting katsu curry at the mall, so it was the right joint to hit up! We never…read moretried this place before, but it used to be where Monkey bar was at (iykyk). Located at the promenade and can be easy to miss since they don't have a huge sign or anything. Right across from Wing Hop Fung. We were seated immediately since it wasn't too busy. We got two katsu curries and 1 hamburg curry. The hamburg curry does take a little longer to prepare. Trying out the katsu curry, it was pretty salty overall. Mild spicy, but not spicy at all. The katsu is also pretty tough to eat at certain parts (usually the edge), and doesn't slice that cleanly when cutting it into smaller pieces. The miso soup was also a bit salty, but the salad was pretty nice and refreshing! We also got to try a bit of the hamburg curry and that one actually tasted better than the classic katsu curry... disappointing that even the signature misses the mark. Overall, it just tastes like how it's advertised, "Tokyo-style inspired". Employees were nice and attentive for checking in on us!

The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces. The stinky tofu is fried and pairs perfectly with pungent garlic dipping sauce. The portions are generous and the price is super affordable. Most dishes range from 12.99 -15.99. The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

4/5 vegan and vegetarian options are plentiful:…read more Lin's Club is a small family owned restaurant located in that cramped plaza at the intersection of Sixth Street and Duarte near the border of Arcadia and Monrovia. They have many classic Chinese dishes at a truly affordable price point. The food: We ordered four different dishes: green beans (v), stir fried egg plants (v), mapo tofu (v), and chicken with rice. For the first three dishes, we clarified with the owner to make this vegetarian (also vegan), which she was able to do very easily and without question. We communicated with her in Chinese, but she also spoke English to us, when we discovered that our Chinese was likely not as fluent as native speakers. Everything was flavorful, without relying on just an overwhelming amount of salt, and we really enjoyed the green beans that seemed to be cooked in fermented bean paste. I found the eggplants particularly tasty too! The service: This small store had so much business, so we did spend some time waiting before we could actually order our meal. The restaurant itself was filled with folks dining in, and there were multiple parties waiting for take out. Even so, once we did order our meal, it didn't take too long for all four dishes to come out. For these reasons, I can't say service was particularly attentive, but they were still polite and I felt like they did try to make it a good experience for us, even if it was so busy. Everything else: They accept credit card with a small surcharge. Parking exists, but during dinner time on a Friday, expect it to be full and very cramped.

Unfortunately, I didn't see anyone regularly cleaning the tables, and most of them were sticky and not very clean. * It took about 10 minutes for our food to come out. We ordered the sweet and sour pork, jjampong, and black bean noodles for three people. When your order is ready, they announce the order number and restaurant name over a shared speaker for the entire food court. * The jjampong bowl was HUGE and could easily serve two people by itself for $19.99. It had a really nice smoky wok flavor that made it taste like proper jjampong. There was also a decent amount of vegetables and seafood. The portion was generous for the price, and the jjampong was definitely the highlight of the meal. * The black bean noodles were disappointing compared to the jjampong. The sauce didn't have much meat or vegetables, and the flavor was pretty average, or even slightly below average for my taste. * The sweet and sour pork was decent, but I've definitely had better at other places. * Jjampong seems to be their specialty, which makes sense considering the restaurant is called Kyodong Jjampong. * I would definitely come back for the jjampong.

Very busy when we arrived but a table for 6 cleared quickly so we only waited for 15 minutes or so. Very open space with table seating all around. Feels very festive! Scan the barcode on the table and place your order via their app. Fairly clearly laid out and easy to make selections. App is used just to place your order. You pay for meal when they bring the card reader to the table with your bill. For 6 guests the tip was an option IE not pre added to bill. We ordered... House specialty... Mild Sauerkraut Fish Soup with tofu skin. Very large portion. Came with some dried red chili peppers on top but the soup was mild and had great flavor. Plenty of thin sliced fish and tofu skin noodles. Chopped fermented mustard green mixed in provided the sour "sauerkraut taste". Very very good Mapo tofu, simply prepared tofu in a sweat inducing chili sauce. Great over hot rice Sweet and Sour Pork Spare ribs, super moist and fall off the bone tender Spicy Boneless Chicken feet, REALLY served boneless! There were a few small bone fragments in there but 99% boneless. Numbing chili sauce with crunchy texture cartilage goodness. Cucumber chunks provided a cooling crunch with each bite. Crispy Fried pork strips, crispy pork strips served with ketchup? and chopped crushed red pepper Garlic Shrimp Vermicelli , good size shrimp topped with garlic puree sauce over vermicelli noodles. Firm texture shrimp with a good garlic pinch. Soft and tender noodles with a nicely seasoned sauce. A few pieces of steamed broccoli as garnish. Very healthy tasting dish Fried green beans, deep fried with just a touch of charring to add to the flavor. Perfectly cooked to yield a crisp skin but soft inside texture They have lots of spicy options but they also offer mild versions of many dishes as well. If you are not keen on "spicy numbing hot" food then get the mild version. Great sichuan pepper flavor and scalp sweating heat. Sapporo beer to cool the palette. All Really good.

After our first visit, we…read morealready thought it was way better than our previous favorite Aikan because of their great selection of sashimi in their dinner menu priced at $39.99. Dozo is located in the quiet Monrovia plaza next to Good fortune supermarket. So there's plenty of parking available. The interior was very beautifully designed, modern, clean and spacious. Staff were very nice and attentive. We arrived on a Sunday night for an early dinner at 4:30pm to an empty restaurant but customers slowly piled in. We loved that sashimi was included in the AYCE option because there's no AYCE restaurant in LA (at least we haven't been) that has that and the quality was pretty good. They even had unlimited ikura, raw shrimp, bluefin tuna and so much more include! Lastly, my only complaint was that they don't have half portions of the sushi rolls liked 4 pieces because that really filled us up. But we're already looking forward to our next visit!

You have to eat it right away so the beef doesn't get cold and the crisp doesn't get soggy. I think it even sat a little too long before arriving at our table, which affected the final taste. I also thought the wagyu beef could have been rarer. Did a few skewers--they were good. Sadly they don't have the eel fried rice I wanted to try for that day. For the chirashi, the fish-to-rice ratio felt stingy for the price. we visited just the second day after reopening, so there were still boxes piled around, which felt like it killed the illusion a bit. Fascinated to see how this space has been transformed from urspace to mini yeah to Red Lantern and now to this mid-to-upscale Japanese restaurant. Two people, no alcohol: $130. The pricing paired with the lounge EDM music suggests they're going for a sexy, high-end vibe, but the dark minimalism and oak chairs might not be the best choices for that vision--there's a bit of an identity crisis, however, the menu is gorgeous. Staff were friendly, but they were noticeably more enthusiastic serving the other tables, which I'm guessing were family and friends. When you notice that, it's hard not to feel a little left out.
