    We had eaten a few times at Stara's first location in the Fairfax Farmer's Market and absolutely loved it! THIS location in Venice ... right on the Venice Boardwalk .. opened only 5 days ago so we had to check it out! It did not disappoint! We were warmly greeted by Casey who explained their menu, took our order and brought us our selections. Very personable! We also got to meet the owners from Poland .. very friendly, warm and welcoming. We had ordered the potato and cheese pierogies, the Zapiekanka (sautéed mushrooms and Gouda on a delicious bread (delicious!!)... and two orders of the kielbasa sandwiches and side salad. The bread is so tasty .. I keep forgetting to ask if they bake their own. The kielbasa had a great grill flavor and that perfect snap when you bite into it. The pierogies were heaven .. the same dough as when my mom (from Poland) used to make them. I could have easily had another plateful. PLUS, incredible people watching while dining as Stara's is located right on the boardwalk. Check it out .. you'll be hooked! A+++

    Do not sleep on this spot! The food is delish, and authentic. The pierogies are so good. The owner is a very kind and charming gentleman who clearly cares about his customers. Not to mention the perfect beach view!!! The cheese in these pierogies is perfect. Go eat them!

    Zapiekanka by the beach must be the most Polish experience I can think of. And this is the most authentic Polish food you can have in California or maybe even this side of the pond! Pierogi, zapiekanka, gyros, naleśniki, all 100% recommended. The staff is nice and helpful to explain the menu if you're not familiar with Polish cuisine. And the vibe and view of the beach only adds to the experience!

You do it à la cart so it comes in pretty big portions. We got it delivered so I can't speak too much of the service but when I got to us, it was warm fresh still and that's all you could really ask for a delivery. So I got the orange chicken and filet mignon. The filet mignon is my favorite so much flavor so juicy the beef was cooked perfectly. It had a little vegetables in there to like give us some pizza thoroughly enjoyed the filet mignon with 100% order it again nice juicy tender. The orange chicken was also good. Nice flavor of the sauce was good. The chicken was cooked. Great nice white meat tender I enjoyed it, but the sauce did a lot of the heavy lifting, but it was very very good.

Flavor-wise? Very good. The portion size matched the price, which in today's economy honestly deserves a standing ovation. Now, let's discuss the plot twists. The beef could've stayed in the pan just a little longer for character development, and the broccoli? Sweetheart... it had crossed over into retirement-home soft. And respectfully, the mushrooms absolutely could've stayed home and minded their business. Overall: hot food, fast delivery, decent flavor, but not memorable enough for a repeat order. Not terrible... just not tempting enough to spin the block!‍

    Just 5 minutes from The Grove, this spot on Beverly Blvd is amazing for their insane lunch deals…read moreand traditional dim sum. All their weekday lunch specials come with hot & sour soup and an egg roll. I had to get their signature spicy orange chicken which is tangy and perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's seriously such a great deal with the amount they give you. Even their dim sum items are discounted during lunch too so I got all my favorites like shumai, radish cakes, green onion pancakes, string beans, and even the rainbow xiaolongbao sampler which is basically Russian roulette for you to guess the flavor of each. But the real sleeper on the menu are the sweet & spicy corn ribs. Love the nod to the Asian taste profile, and it's sooo satisfying to eat! Thanks for reading! ^-^

    If you're crazy a-BAO-t dim sum like me, you definitely have to check out @baodimsumhouse !…read more As someone who's super picky about dim sum, I think this spot has some of the BEST and most authentic dim sum in West LA, with an extensive selection of traditional dishes (pork and shrimp shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, fried radish cakes, egg yolk black buns), as well as fun options such as the Juicy Roulette Xiao Long Bao set. I've been coming here for the past two years, and their quality is stayed consistently high, if not even improving! They also have an amazing cocktail menu (which is more unusual for dim sum spots) and weekday lunch special menu from 12-3 PM, which features select dim sum and traditional Chinese dish combos at VERY affordable prices (all under $20). Honestly, everything I've tried on every visit has been AMAZING, but I highly recommend asking your waiter for recommendations and specials, since I've been able to try so many new dishes that I probably wouldn't have ever ordered.

Their duck rolls could use a little more sauce, but I'm just amazed that they serve duck rolls at all, in a sea of these types of Chinese restos akin to Dan, DTF, Northern Cafe, etc, most of whom only serve beef rolls. For the carb-avoidant, they offer gluten free noodle options *and* noodle-free beef stews. The beef stew was so so filling, so good. The beef was not quiiite as tender as when I'd tried their beef noodle soup the first time, but definitely not inedibly dry. On a scale of 0 (dry, rubbery trash) to 10 (tender, melt-in-your-mouth transcendence to another dimension), the beef in the BNS was an 8, the beef in the beef stew was a 7. Not bad! Self-service pack-to-go station for convenience. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program if you plan to frequent this place more regularly. Price is just right. Parking is easy and free in the lot off Brockton/Wilshire. Space is so much brighter, cleaner, more modern.

I ordered the beef roll which is one of my favorites and hard to find outside of the San Gabriel Valley. It was not the best beef roll that I have had, but it was still very good. The beef could have been a bit warmer, but the flavor profile was as expected. With my beef Roll, I had the their Thai milk tea. The Thai ice tea was weak and light in flavor. Service was good. You order at the counter and they serve you when your order is ready. Parking was easy, covered, and free in the structure that also services Total Wines. Overall, I enjoyed my quick lunch and will come back to try some of their other menu items.
