Kep "Dj Surreal" C.'s Profile

I've been coming here since I was a kid. But for the past handful of years, this place has really gone down and I am now in the process of finding another office.

== The Clinic ==
Medical facilities, clinics included, should make you feel comfortable. This place does the opposite and adds some stress to it. The clinic itself feels dirty and sitting on the plastic chairs are really uncomfortable when you're waiting for over an hour.

This place is always packed and wait times are ridiculous. Expect at least an hour wait time and more during walk-in hours.

== The Staff ==
Front desk staff are nice. Kathy is very helpful! There are 2 doctors here: Dr Yu and Dr Regullano. Before I didn't care which one I saw, but recently, I've been making appointments for Dr Regullano. He is more thorough compared to Dr Yu and will refer you right away if he needs to. Too many times, I've had Dr Yu say, "It's nothing, just get some more rest" or forget about my complaints entirely.

I'm done coming here and will look for another doctor ASAP.

This place is always packed. If you don't have the patience to wait for an hour, even being on time, don't bother picking this place.

Dr. Yao is nice but he mumbles when he talks. Maybe due to his heavy chinese accent but I also think it's partly due to negligence. We've been here 3 times for my daughter and all 3 times I've felt that he rushes you out of the door.
I've heard that you can tell a lot about a doctor by their white jacket. Let's just say I was really uncomfortable when we first came and especially during my daughters surgery.

I'm giving this place two stars because the front desk staff are very nice.

I always have certain expectations for Korean BBQ places such as

1. Service will be terrible and I will be jamming that table button
2. They will give you a weird look when asking for anything but the brisket
3. Grow zits when you walk in due to the greasy, smoke-filled atmosphere.
4. Barely understand any of the servers. (I don't speak Korean)

However, this place took some of those certainties away.

First off, this place is pretty new so it felt clean walking in. We got there fairly early, around 5:30 and got seated almost right away. Definitely come early, at the end of our dinner, the place was packed and people were waiting to be seated outside the restaurant.

Moving on, the service was excellent. I didn't have to smash that table button as I initially anticipated. Our grill got changed 3 times, seriously! You'd be lucky to get your grill changed once at some KBBQ places. Our drinks were always full and they actually come up to you and ask you what type of meat you wanted more of (I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone at this point because I understood every single one of them). No push for more brisket instead of what we really wanted.

The food. Better than expected. I don't know what they put in their brisket but compared to the blandness from most KBBQ places, I actually preferred this over the other meats. We didn't like the Bulgogi that much. Tasted good, but the pieces were cut up too small and it was like picking off the last pieces from the grill.

Overall, the place is better than your average KBBQ restaurant. I would go back for the service alone.... ok, for the brisket too.

Finally a good burger joint near my neighborhood. It's a hole in the wall so you might miss it if you don't look for it.

The burgers were delicious and made to order. I ordered the Bull Burger with a side of zucchini sticks. I inhaled that burger like I haven't eaten in days. Juicy, perfectly done, no need for any other sauces. The zucchini sticks were literally "sticks" because the 3 pieces that I got were about 10" inches each.

We ordered the sweet potato fries that they are suppose to be famous for but I didn't like it very much. Both our orders of sweet potato fries and regular fries were both on the "soft" side. Maybe it's just us, because my wife and I are fans of crunchy, well done fries.

All in all, a great first experience at this place! Will definitely go back.

Nice place to check out but not a good place to bring someone you actually want to talk to.

My wife and I decided to try this place and got in around 5:30PM, right before the dinner rush, and were seated about 5 minutes after putting our names in. As more people piled into the restaurant, the louder the place got and eventually I was having a hard time listening to my wife seated across the table from me.

Our server was great and was very helpful with the menu. Definitely get the Portobello Mushroom Fries like everyone says. They're great! The rest of our food was "meh", nothing special or get excited about.

We decided to pick up a box of 4 macarons which cost $9... comes in a nice box though.

Overall, this is a nice place to check out at least once, but the mix of typical pretentious LA hipsters, tourists, and obnoxious noise level puts this place in my "at least I tried it" list.

I've tried other places like this and they just do not compete to the taste you get from Cajun Corner. You actually get some taste out of the shrimp with their cajun spices and you don't get the buttery grease some other places have.

We only order the shrimp here so I can't say much for the crawfish. Ideal order is 1 pound per person (trust me, you'll eat all of it). Don't forget to order some corn and dip it into the sauce!

The place is relatively small but I haven't had to wait longer than 10 minutes whenever we've gone. If it's your first time going, the restaurant is located in the back of the plaza and you'll probably miss it from the street. It's hiding behind the pho place that faces Brookhurst. There is ample parking in the back lot or the street.

My wife and I came for dinner here on a Friday night. We though the place would be packed but turned out to be the opposite and got seated right away in the dining area next to the bar.

They have entertainers singing pop songs with a ukelele on Friday nights and enjoyed that. We didn't care for the couple of ladies, who seemed to be regulars at the bar, who were really obnoxious.

Food:
-- Garlic Cheese Bread :: Not worth the $5.
-- Rib Eye Smothered In Garlic :: When it comes to the table, it makes your mouth water. But when I took my first bite, I was disappointed with how bland it was. You would expect some sort of garlic-y taste but we had to pour on the salt and pepper just to get some taste out of the meat.
-- Shrimp and Mayonnaise Pizza :: Loved it! I enjoyed this more than I did the steak, surprisingly.
-- Banana Brownie Sundae :: It was okay, nothing special.

Our server was friendly and informative but we had to track him down a couple of times which is too much for a place that was empty. He gave us the wrong dessert but was happy to bring it back and replace it for us.

Overall the place is okay. I'd probably come back here but probably wouldn't crave the food.

Food:
- Carne Asada Burrito - Huge burrito but was disappointed with how bland it was.
- Pastrami Sandwich - Now we're talking. I would have liked leaner pastrami in my sandwich but I liked it. I would go back for this sandwich.

Interior:
The place is very clean and comfortable when you walk in. I haven't seen such a clean bathroom from places like this one. I couldn't figure out if we bus the tables ourselves or their staff would because I had a hard time finding the trash can, seriously.

Overall:
I feel this place is a little pricey compared to some other places similar to this one, but I would come back here so I can eat my pastrami comfortably.

I came here for the second time to give the ramen a second try before I gave my review. Sad to say, I have to go with my initial reaction of "this s*** is bland and where the frack is the meat?!"

What I did love was the stuffed mushrooms. Holy crap, I should have just ordered two of those things instead of the waste of money $9 "toro pork" ramen.

The place itself is pretty cozy and has a comfortable ambiance and the servers are generally very helpful.

All in all, ok place but don't go for the ramen. Stuffed mushrooms ftw.

We had a hard time finding this place because it is situated in the back of a plaza that looks like all the shops have closed down. Once we found the place, we put our name down and waited a good 30 minutes before getting seated. The place is very small. Literally only about 7, 2 seater tables and another 12 chairs at the bar.

The food was nothing special.Their ramen "special" was okay and the chicken egg rice bowl was just okay too.

The servers were often checking on how we were doing that after a while it got annoying. I understand that they had to turn tables, but c'mon let my food settle really quick before you bother me.

Overall, the place is okay. Nothing special.
