I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen with extra veggies, and it was incredible. My friend had the Umaya Ramen and said it was the best ramen he's ever had. My son ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and gave it a 10/10. We also shared the Pork Belly Oshi, and wow--it was amazing. Honestly, y'all are missing out if you haven't tried Umaya Ramen. I'm surprised there isn't a line out the door! Another huge plus: they're open late until 1 a.m. and the music creates a great vibe. We'll definitely be back!

Service was very friendly including our server and the hosts. I was impressed that when they brought all of our food out, there were multiple servers and they knew which dish belonged to whom in our party of 5. They have a wide variety of menu options. I ordered the lamb burger because it's not something you normally see on a restaurant menu. It was delicious! Everyone in our group really enjoyed their food. Looking forward to going back!

DINING While Black…read more The 908 Restaurant Environment 1-5: 5 I really appreciated the ambiance and decor of the space. After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.

Here you can actually taste the ingredients they describe and somehow work really well together. And it's not just one or two drinks that feel unique and interesting it's basically their whole menu. Most recent time we went was when they had a guest bartender (Polo Chang). Some of the best cocktails I've had recently. I'm a huge fan of tea in cocktail his menu was amazing. We got way more drinks than we usually do that night because each one was better than the last. Only thing tho I really wish they kept their old menu. The drawings were beautiful and it had so much character while very easily communicating how each drink will look and taste. It went so well with the overall vibe of the place. But I may just be nitpicking because I have hard time reading the new dark menu in the dim light lolol I honestly would come here wayyyy more often if it wasn't for the very limited parking. Even with reservation it feels like never a guarantee we will make it there because we may or may not be able to find parking. If you are lucky to be nearby highly recommend uber.

We sat at the bar, and I expected to receive service from the bartender, but he didn't acknowledge us for the entire night. Instead, our server took our order. After a while, she informed us that the crispy rice we ordered was sold out. She mentioned that the bartender was supposed to let us know, but he never did. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that the bartender seemed to be giving most of his attention to the Caucasian customers on the other side of the bar. We were the only Asian customers there, and unfortunately, this left us feeling like we were being treated differently because of our race. The good food and drinks helped compensate for the poor service, so we decided not to let it ruin our evening. However, things got even more disappointing at the end. After I paid, I noticed that I had been charged for the crispy rice even though we never received it. When our server tried to address the issue, the bartender appeared to ignore both her and us, so we eventually left. I hope management sees this review and reaches out to me to address the overcharge and the overall experience. Overall, although the food and drinks were good, the service and the way we were treated left a very negative impression. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

A friend of mine is a Cerritos local, and this was our second visit. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. The gentleman working the front door was incredibly polite and welcomed us with a smile, even wishing us a great time as we walked in. The two bartenders were outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't catch both of their names, but their level of customer service was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the night. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. We also enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers. I ordered a glass of water as well, and my water was refilled almost immediately every time it was empty--a small detail that really stood out. The DJ kept the atmosphere fun and lively, and we were able to catch the MMA fights on their multiple flat-screen TVs, which made the experience even better. My buddy Jason says this is the best dive bar in Cerritos. After this visit, I'd have to agree. In fact, the customer service we received here was better than what I've experienced at many upscale, "bougie" establishments. Outstanding food, excellent drinks, incredible service, and a great atmosphere. Job well done, Shipmates! I'll definitely be back.

It was nice that this wasn't strictly an adults-only environment, as we were able to bring our child along and still enjoy the experience.

My husband got the birria tacos (not pictured) and they were also really good but a little steep for not coming with rice and beans. Ceviche was fresh as well as guac but guac did not come with the chicharron like mentioned in the description. Enchiladas were good too, loved the heat of the sauce.

This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

Taylor's Cigar Lounge is hands down one of the best spots in Long Beach to relax and enjoy a good cigar. The atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and comfortable from the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and make you feel right at home. Their cigar selection is solid with plenty of great options for every palate. I also love that they have multiple TV screens throughout, making it a perfect place to catch a game while unwinding. Plenty of comfortable seating inside, plus a great outdoor smoking patio if you prefer fresh air. Overall, it's a chill, well-kept lounge with a great vibe--definitely worth checking out whether you're a seasoned smoker or just getting into cigars. read more

Alright, I'm going to start by saying I've been coming here on and off for almost two decades, with…read morehuge gaps of time between some years. In all this time I have to say that the folks that run this place are awesome! When I first set foot here it was in 2006 and that was to buy a box of good cigars for my mentor who mentored me through my first career oriented job. The owners at the time Larry and Larry were absolutely awesome! Recommended that I grab a box of davidoffs millenium blends, cost me a pretty penny, around $200 in 2006!!! But boy oh boy they were worth the money. My mentor was thrilled, took me back here to have my first ever cigar with him. We smoked and chatted with Larry for about an hour and he even showed us his collection of classic cars while we were here. Since then I've been back a number of times. With hindsight I've discovered that this place is great and it's run by folks with a no nonsense and no BS attitude. They won't kiss your ass and beg you for sale, if you're there to explore and come in with respect and a desire to learn about the art of cigars they will spend the time to go over the details and help you find what you like in your price range. Now for all the naysayers who left reviews for cigar time, I'm going to venture my own estimate and say that they likely came in looking for swisher sweets or something along those lines and expected white glove service for what's considered to be a very poorly made and designed cigar. So all I have to say is that if you come in thinking that you're going to get white glove five star service for something like that you're sadly mistaken. But if you come in here with a genuine curiosity to learn about cigars that these guys will help you all the way. For the more if you come in here, knowing what you like and your back respectful and you don't waste time these guys will get you exactly what you need. I'm going to continue to come back here for my cigar needs. Sadly, to say one of the owners passed away two years ago, but the remaining one, is still a great guy and if you approach with respect and don't expect the moon and can appreciate a dude with decades a wisdom and maybe a slightly crass attitude you won't be disappointed!
