Super crowded. It takes you thirty minutes to get from the bar to the bathroom.

Super dirty. The bathroom was unisex and there was vomit in the sink.

Love this place!

Nam gave me the best haircut. It's modern and easy to maintain. I wake up, put a dab of product in my hair and go. This was unheard of until now, because I'm one of those rare Asian girls with wavy hair. Nam got me to say bye bye to my straight iron!

Calma is also amazing. She's super skilled at lash extentions. The lashes come out natural looking and gorgeous. She is very efficient and experienced. My lashes look so beautiful when she's done with them. Calma got me to say bye bye to eyeliner and mascara!

These people make beauty effortless. I barely have to apply any make up or fix my hair before I leave the house. What a luxury.

Mori sushi has fresh fish, great chefs, and beautiful handmade dishes. It is a high quality establishment  and everyone really cares about their craft.

Our omakase was only $120/person, not bad. We liked the price.

My boyfriend and I feel bad because we can't find one thing to complain about, yet the meal lacked fireworks for us.

I liked this place. Contrary to what other yelpers experienced, we had a great time.

We tried the Tom Bo Nuong Vi per the recommendation of my aunt. It's when you grill the meat at your own table. The serve you a hearty plate of beef that could easily feed 3 people for $15. It came with plenty of fresh veggies and rice paper.

Their Nuoc Rau Ma (Pennywort Juice) was tasty.

Our waiter was a hilarious old Vietnamese dude who had tons of jokes. He gave us great service and checked on us a bunch of times.

We thought the place was pretty clean, nothing unusual.

Overall, it's a nice addition to the area. It's not the best we've ever had, but it saves us a trip to either Rosemead or Little Saigon.

Delicious tacos. Both salsas are super spicy.

I saw all these people sipping on a hot beverage in the middle of the night, all wearing smiles. Curious to share in some of this joy, I asked them what they were drinking. Atole they said and atole is what I ordered. My curiosity and bravery were rewarded. It tasted like Christmas in a cup!

    Delicious.

    I loved that they placed wood chips in the grill, resulting in a lovely aroma.

    The cumin dry dipping mix is like nothing I've had before, so tasty and reminded me of middle eastern food.

    I had no idea this chinese/korean skewer cuisine existed. Definitely coming back!

    ***Try the shredded pork and coriander dish. It was our favorite***

I finally found a KBBQ place I love after moving to the area.

Everything is good, the service, the food, the atmosphere.

It's super clean and comfortable.

They serve rice paper, lettuce leaves, thinly sliced radish, and pretty much anything you'd like to accompany your meat. There are so many side dishes and the bean paste was amazing.

I have not one bad thing to say about this amazing place. No lines either!

Grab a Godmother, grab a beer, and brown bag it.

This place is insanely busy for good reason.

I enjoyed the variety. I got uni sushi with a quail egg and sweet shrimp sushi, both super fresh and tasty. The chicken wings were delicious. We ate to our hearts content and the bill came to about $50. The place serves solid food at reasonable prices.
