I can definitely see myself becoming a regular at On & On Kitchen. It's the kind of place that's…read moreperfect when you want something quick, fresh, and filling without feeling overly heavy. The galbi bowl is hands down my favorite. One thing I really appreciated was that they grill the galbi fresh to order instead of having it sitting in a warming tray. The meat comes out hot, juicy, and full of flavor, and you can really tell it's freshly made. The bowls also feel super fresh and clean with quality ingredients that all work well together. I also built a custom bowl with chicken, which was another great option if you're in the mood to switch things up. It's nice having the flexibility to customize your meal while still getting the same fresh ingredients. The sesame pudding was such a pleasant surprise and is definitely worth ordering if you have room for dessert. It was light, creamy, and the perfect finish to the meal. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and really efficient, even with a steady lunch crowd. Overall, it's a solid spot for a casual lunch, and I'll definitely be back for another galbi bowl.

I'll definitely be coming back!

It isn't the best pasta you'll ever have, but it's good and comfort food style. Service was super friendly and the restaurant itself is cute on the inside. Has the ambiance of a fast casual sit down place so don't expect it to be the date night you dress up for.

The storefront of the popular full-service catering operation (founded in 2015) in the LA area,…read moreBites & Bashes Cafe in Lomita opened in 2018. My wife and I had an enjoyable breakfast experience, tasting some unique dishes that are worth coming in for. We had a real early errand in the Lomita area, so wanted to take advantage by trying a different breakfast place. They have a really informative website, explaining the owning family's participation and how some of their food is sourced. It's a brunch place (open from 8 am to 2/3 pm, Tu-Su), so needed to wait a bit outside (street parking only, found one hour free parking right in front since coming so early). Menus are available at the front counter, and you place and pay (clover) for your order first. The food came out soon after, delivered to your table. There is a self-serve water jug in the same area as take-as-you-need take-out containers (also saw a self-serve costco-size plastic wrap box for wrapping...such a Korean thing to do). Utensils and napkins are available at the table to take for need. I really like places like this that have optimized the service experience, getting what you need without having to track someone down. Forking Around's Filipino Burrito ($18.95) - a collab with the food influencer 'Forking Around' to put into a breakfast burrito, many common ingredients from a Filipino breakfast. This includes egg, garlic fried rice as base and a vegetable lumpia with longanisa pieces, wrapped in a good flour tortilla. Sides were both a cilantro lime crema and a well made sawsawan. The sausage was not too sweet nor too red (though perhaps a bit too meatloaf-like), and the lumpia in the burrito worked for me. Korean Breakfast with bulgogi and steamed rice ($19.95) - it was served in a cast-iron skillet and the pan had been heated up greatly...super hot when served and still warm by the time we left. The flavor of the bulgogi was solid, and I loved the presentation. Taco Truck Burrito ($17.95) - korean-style al pastor pork, with pineapple and kimchi fried rice and egg. It was good....forgot to ask if the meat was really cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Came with a good chipotle salsa and lime crema. We were done in 30 minutes, from entry to exit. It wasn't too busy, so asked the front-of-house lead where the longanisa sausage and lumpia were made...she stated that it was all in-house. That's really impressive, making an ingredient from scratch that is only used in one dish. This and the elegant presentation and longevity really shows that the entire team behind bites & bashes cafe (catering) knows what they are doing.

This recent visit was disappointing. First, parking is not great. A few years ago they used to have…read morethe small lot on 25514 Narbonne for staff and customers but, now it is for staff only. So it's only street parking. If you need the blue placard parking, there is only 1 space behind their small building. They have Korean and Filipino inspired dishes. Ie. banana turon or ube pancakes, Filipino inspired burrito with longanisa. I chose the bulgogi plate and asked for no white rice and was offered fruit or salad in lieu of. Tasty bulgogi w/a small egg on top yet the portions are very modest. In the middle of my meal, I ordered one more item- the krak fries which were very garlicky. They go for the presentation with the floral and greens to jazz up the look. Hubby's dish was straight ahead- Bulgogi cheesesteak and fries. Also modest in portions. Iced decaf Americano in a plastic cup and OJ in a plastic cup. Kinda odd considering their price points. Some beverages are in mugs. This was more like a 2.75 stars rounded up to 3.

After going to the same Mediterranean place over and over we decided to give Vendetta Rossa a try…read moreand the best thing it's 2 min away from our place. It's in a busy small shopping center with other small restaurants so it can get a bit busy, but there is extended parking as well. As you walk in it's very small there is no seating so it's mostly pick up but there is a Kiosk and that's where you order your food and Arash comes to the front and greet you and he was so kind and offered help as this was my first time and he guided me. I ordered the Combination plate with chicken and beef shawarma and it came with the rice and the most delicious Fatoosh salad the dressing was to die for and the salad portion was great! The flavor was just amazing, very flavorful with every bite and the pita bread was delicious with the their dipping sauces and the hummus as well. I waited maybe 10 min and then my food was ready. I even got a text to notify that my food was ready so even if to went to wait in your car or go do something quick the notify you and I loved that touch. I WILL def coming back the portions are great and the food is delicious and fresh and made to order. They have a fridge with some drinks as well. Over all I love the concept it's easy to order and food comes out fresh.. if you are looking for some delicious kabobs or Mediterranean food this is your spot here in Lomita. Thanks for great customer service!

The restaurant is spotlessly clean, well-organized, and welcoming--everything feels fresh and well cared for. The food quality is outstanding. Every dish is packed with flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients, and tastes authentic and thoughtfully prepared. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy--each bite showed consistency and care. Whether it was the meats, sides, or sauces, everything was on point. What really elevates the experience, though, is the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They were happy to answer questions, made great recommendations, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. You can tell they truly care about their customers, not just the service. If you're looking for amazing Korean food, a clean and comfortable environment, and top-tier hospitality, this spot is a must-visit. We'll definitely be coming back--and bringing friends with us. Highly recommend

I visited the Crenshaw location last night around 8:15pm, and unfortunately, the experience was…read moredisappointing. From the moment we walked in, the woman taking our order seemed irritated that we were there, even though they don't close until 9pm. We felt rushed while trying to decide what to order, which made the experience uncomfortable right from the start. After we sat down, my boyfriend greeted a couple of his clients. The manager made a comment saying, "Wow, someone is popular tonight," which could have been friendly--but when he responded kindly, she followed up with, "Don't flatter yourself." That felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Throughout the rest of our visit, the service continued to feel unwelcoming. When my boyfriend asked for a to-go container, he was told she would have to get it, and when he also asked for a pita to go, she sighed and appeared annoyed. He later asked for a lid for my salad dressing after it fell, and again, her response felt inconvenienced. This isn't the first time we've experienced this kind of attitude at this location, which is disappointing. There were still customers coming in and ordering, so it wasn't as if they were closed or unable to serve. Overall, the lack of basic customer service and friendliness really stood out in a negative way.
