    I had the quesadilla with asada and a corn tortilla. They give a lot of meat in it. It could be better with more flavor. Food took around 10 minutes.

    We have been visiting this Taco Truck for the past 6 years. They make the best, freshest Memelas and Cemitas in Boyle Heights. They are always on point. Try the Tacos de cueritos they are bomb!! The guy running the taco truck is friendly and very helpful. Bring cash and your appetite.

    This place is horrible. The selection is very poor and at 1:30 pm they don't have half of the stuff that is posted on their limited menu. Sketchy people EVERYWHERE and the trucks reeks of urine.

    These are the best cemitas I've ever had. They're not dry like most. Great service, great food, I'm not understanding the other reviews.

Hard to find a place doing it this good. This is my 8th LA smash burger and it's definitely a top three contender! The ratios were on point. The lemon pepper fries were killer. The bulgogi fries were strangely good for no one appearing to be Korean who worked there. Big fresh jalapeños on top with the perfect amount of sauce. GREAT home made pickles on the burger to offset the rich patty and cheese. The service was TOP tier. Took a little longer than most, but tasted better than most! So pick your poison! Great outdoor seating in a bar next door with its own brewery. They have a deal going so you can use that place. Sat in a cool outdoor patio area with fake grass and a nice fence. Nice shade. Cool Glendale vibes.

    Great food and even better service. You can tell the team genuinely enjoys what they do, and it…read moreshows in the experience from start to finish. Customizations were no problem at all, and the turnaround time from ordering to pickup was exactly as promised. Their vegan options are full of flavor and definitely not an afterthought. Parking on the street can be a little tough, but it's absolutely worth it. Whether you eat there at one of the tables or take it to go, this is definitely a spot worth stopping at.

    I work around Abbot Kinney and am always looking for a decently priced lunch option. Enter Noods. I…read moreabsolutely love noodles, so I was beyond excited to try this spot. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful -- especially for an indecisive person like me -- pointing out what's popular, what they personally like, and what they recommend. I chose to go the "build your own" route and landed on: 1. Base: Chili Garlic 2. Noodles: Yakisoba 3. Protein: Fire-grilled chicken 4. Toppings: Carrots, cabbage, red peppers, sesame seeds, crunchy chili garlic The portions are solid -- I easily got two meals out of one bowl. Since I like spice, they gave me a side of their spicy sauce, which added both sweetness and heat. With all the sauce, it was definitely a bit messy, but the flavor was bold and the kick was real. The noodles and chicken were cooked well, though next time I might choose something a little less intense so I can better appreciate all the ingredients. With that much heat and garlic, some of the other flavors got lost. All in all, lunch for about $25 on Abbot Kinney is a great deal, and I'll definitely be back to try more combinations!

    I was curious about this new noodle shop on Abbot Kinney! It's small, with a few cafe tables…read moreoutside and one inside for seating. Most people order to go. The food was made fresh so served hot and the taste was delicious. HOWEVER. I did takeout and didn't look at the container until I opened it to eat. Major disappointment and concern as their thin plastic containers are most likely not heat resistant, which means chemicals leach into food. Cool concept as a store offering only noodle dishes but PLEASE change your serving and takeout containers!!

    This review is solely for the Sam Woo x Kogi Collab (6/26 & 6/27)…read more - 6/26 - 11am-3pm - 6/27 - 4pm-8pm It was located in front of the Sam Woo in the Alhambra location so parking was very limited since their parking lot was very small. However, there was street residential parking, which was what I did! Got there a little past 9am and there was already 20-30 ahead of me! Really enjoyed how organized the event was and everyone was very friendly! Was it worth the 2 hour wait? Hell yeah! I met Roy Choi & Karen Cheung (daughter of Sam Woo's founder!) There was even Kogi x Sam Woo merch sold! (T-shirt - $35 & hat - $25) The Roast Duck Kimchi Taco ($24) came with 3 tacos with roasted duck, grilled kimchi, Kogi sauce, and sesame seeds..the roast duck was marinated very well and the skin was so crispy! Didn't taste much of the kimchi but the Kogi sauce was sweet and packed with delicious flavor! Char Siu Blackjack Quesadilla ($24) consisted of cha siu pork with cilantro onion lime relish and cheese. The quesadilla was so cheesy and the cha siu was packed with flavor. It was roasted to perfection and tasted so amazing! Overall, I really enjoyed the food and the Collab even though it was slightly pricey.

I ordered the Blackjack Quesadilla, a fan favorite with spicy pork, caramelized onions, melted cheese, and a citrus-jalapeño salsa verde. My wife isn't a fan, so I got extra! We also tried the Short Rib Taco with caramelized BBQ short ribs, short roja, and kimchi, which she loved. Overall, it was a solid experience. I love good fusion cuisine, and Kogi definitely delivers on its Korean-Mexican concept.
