    Greek salad with chicken kebab
    Sam E.

    Ordered this food to go and it was yummy! I got the Greek salad with chicken kebab on top and I also got a special item they had (you probably have to ask periodically if they have it as he said it was for catering) which was branzino (fish) over rice with roasted almonds and rice. The Greek salad with chicken was super fresh. The chicken was juicy and well cooked. The branzino was delicious but my biggest issue was it was mostly rice and a very small amount of branzino. I paid about $19 for it so I was at least expecting a fuller piece of fish and it was only a few pieces over rice. But what was there was well cooked, tasty, and fresh! Would come back for the full sit down meal for next time!

    Kafta kebob entree. Not much for $25

    Okay flavor Beef shawarma wrap on the dry side Portions sizes are really small, especially what is called an entree

    Fries and Falafel Dish

    So good! Food is super fresh and the staff members are so friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

    Grape leaves - perfect!
    mk c.

    We had a great time here. The staff is delightful and super excited to talk about their food. We tried the spinach pie (great), the dip w yogurt, garbanzos, little spiced up pita crisps, and pine nuts. There was a lot of it and it's so good we finished it off! This is a must-try item when you go. Also a must try? The stuffed grape leaves had the perfect ratio of rice and spices, lemony zest and firmness (they didn't fall apart on the first bite). For meat, tried the chicken shwarma wrap which was tasty but probably should have used more garlic sauce. I'm an omnivore but would be certain to be satisfied taking vegetarians or vegans here and skipping meat entirely. The ambiance is cute and clean. We were fortunate to find street parking easily but it may be tough on weeknights when Highland doesn't allow parking during rush hour. All in all, a very nice experience and maybe most importantly these days, the prices made sense for the portions!

    Greek salad with a side of beef

    Delicious food and super nice staff. We live in the area and decided to walk to this spot to get some dinner. Food was amazing!!! Limited on alcohol selection but they just got their liquor license so I imagine next time will have more to choose from. We will definitely return. Thank you Sumac!!

    A side order of falafel, which comes with tahini.
    Jonathan D.

    This restaurant opened recently, taking over the Highland and Lexington corner that had been various other restaurants over the last few years. At present, they have a couple well-spaced tables outside, and one or two more inside. The inside has a bit of a boutique vibe, as they seem to sell some clothing and other items as well. There's a QR code on which to grab the menu, and I ordered at the counter. All of the staff seemed super friendly. I got the chicken kabab plate, which came with a choice of hummus or baba ghanouj, along with pita, French fries, rice and pickles. I also subbed in a Greek salad for the choice between fattoush and tabbouleh at their suggestion, and I added a side order of falafel, as well as baklava for dessert. Probably more food than I needed, but I wanted to try more things rather than fewer. After ordering, I sat outside, and in timely fashion, my meal arrived. At present, they're putting everything in takeaway containers. While I would assume that's because of the pandemic, in a couple cases--that of the falafel and the Greek salad--the relatively deep containers made it a little tricky to cut things. In general, the food was quite good. The star was the chicken, which was perfectly cooked and flavorful, especially when you slather on a bit of the garlic sauce that accompanied it. Also, the accompanying rice was delicious, and I appreciated the acidity of the pickles. The falafel was good--though it could have been a little more tender and moist (perhaps it was slightly over?). In hindsight, I should have just picked it up and dipped it in the tahini rather than trying to cut it first. The baba was also good, and the pita was fine but probably the least interesting part of the meal. I actually preferred dipping the French fries in the baba--which I did by accident--to using the pita. The Greek salad was refreshing, but at present it's being served in a round takeout container that makes it harder to eat than it could be; the high rim means it's hard to cut these large chunks of feta, peppers and other items, or to toss the dressing well. Obviously, in a perfect world they'd move away from disposable containers altogether, but in the interim, a wider, flatter container/plate/bowl would make this salad easier to eat. This stretch of Highland is fairly quiet in terms of pedestrian traffic as it gets later (plenty of cars, and they can get loud), though if you're eating outside, be mindful of your surroundings--it's Hollywood. All in all, a nice addition to the neighborhood. I'd certainly return to try other things.

    If you are looking for authentic Korean food that tastes exactly like the home-cooked meals at a…read morefamily party, you have to try Nak Won Catering. As a Korean, I can tell you this is the real deal--it's so freaking delicious and exactly the type of food I grew up with. A few things to know before you order: No Storefront: This is a catering-only business, so there is no physical restaurant to visit. You just call them to place your order. The Right Number: Make sure you call the correct number! Their main lines are (323) 466-3737 or (323) 799-7909. Customizable Menus: While they have menu photos online that act as a guide, you can pick and choose exactly what you want. We ordered the Kalbi Jjim, various veggies, pancakes, and kimchi, and every single dish was a hit. Massive Portions: They are incredibly generous! We ordered for 10 people, but they gave us enough food to feed 40. You definitely get your money's worth. Easy Pickup: The process is super smooth. You just pull up to the street on Beverly Blvd, and they will load everything directly into your car for you. Pro Tip: Ask about getting a discount ;) Also when you arrive to pick up, give them a 15 minute window to assemble your order. They have a delivery option too. I will definitely be using them again for my next event!

    This review is long overdue! We had Hungry Bear cater our wedding this year and they absolutely…read morecrushed it!! We had so many guests come up to us during and after the wedding (even months later) saying the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding. Everything from the passed apps to the mains, desserts, and late night food was amazing. Food is a huge priority for us, and we wanted to make damn sure that our wedding food delivered, especially since so many of our friends and family know us as major foodies. We loved Hungry Bear's asian-fusion menu and even the salad was unreal (and I'm not a salad girl...get the Little Gem Salad y'all - it's both beautiful and delicious). We had opted for family style and had hangar steak and miso black cod for the mains (but seriously, you cannot go wrong with any of their choices) and a late night pho station. I'm salivating just reminiscing about the food. The drinks were just as good (feel free to reach out to the team with your favorite flavors/ spirit to brainstorm drink ideas or even give them a specific recipe). I opted for a yuzu gin cocktail as my signature drink, which was delightfully refreshing and very well made. On top of that, the service was next-level. The waiters and bartenders were all very kind, funny, and professional. The team made sure my husband and I were constantly taken care of--full water glasses, plates of food, cocktails, everything. One of my best friend has celiac disease, and a staff member came up and told her she was personally "in charge of her" for the night. She was blown away. I was blown away -- especially since we had our wedding at a "bring your everything" venue where everything was brought in to build a "kitchen" - Hungry Bear made sure that food safety/ cross-contamination was a non-issue. Amazing food, amazing drinks, and genuinely kind, fun, and professional servers and bartenders. Jennie, TJ, and the Hungry Bear team truly go above and beyond. We're already asking ourselves when we can have Hungry Bear cater our next event. Look no further and book your tasting today (trust me, and good luck narrowing down the tasting selections)! Highly, highly recommend.

I'm not exaggerating - 10/10. We got so much positive feedback from our guests about how good everything was. The servers and chefs were all really friendly and knew what they were doing. Their menu has so many options to choose from, which I loved. We went with 6 tray-passed appetizers and honestly, every single one was delicious. I'll definitely be using them again for future events. Can't recommend Hungry Bear enough!

I'm just remembering how wonderful the tacos were, especially the tortilla. Corn and soft, this is NOT your typical grocery store purchase. I think they source it from a legit Latina market.

OMG... as I'm writing this, I'm still craving the food we had that day from Chubby Fingers! After doing multiple tastings with other caterers, we chose them for their generous portions and amazing value at a very competitive price point. Why we chose them: Before choosing them, we actually met with several other caterers and even did tastings to compare our options. What really stood out about Chubby Fingers was how generous and abundant their offerings were at a very similar price point. The value honestly surprised us in the best way. The Experience (Catering Drop-off): We ended up doing a catering drop-off, and even with that setup, you could truly feel the care and thought they put into everything. The presentation was beautiful and everything was packed so nicely -- it still felt very special and intentional. The Food (The highlight of our day!): On the day of the event, the food completely exceeded our expectations. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Our guests kept complimenting the food throughout the event, and several people even came up to ask where we found the caterer because they wanted the information for their own events. Our Menu Highlights: 1. Chubs Bossam: Slow-roasted caramelized pork shoulder with ssam bar (perilla leaves, lettuce, and samjang). Absolute hit! 2. Japchae: Korean sweet potato glass noodles with mushrooms and vegetables. 3. Gochujang Glazed Veggies: Roasted market vegetables with a subtle, delicious gochujang glaze. 4.Yuzu Tomato Salad: Heirloom tomatoes with greens and a refreshing yuzu vinaigrette (so fresh!). and the White Rice was included! The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. I'm so sad I didn't take more photos, I was so busy hosting and enjoying the event, but the presentation in person looked even better than the photos!) If you're planning an event, do yourself a favor and book Chubby Fingers--you won't regret it! I truly can't recommend them enough if you want to impress your guests!
