“Julio’s Pizza is always a go-to restaurant whenever we crave some good thin crust Indian style pizza. The place has a sport bar vibes, also servers off the bar mocktails and draft beer. You will always see some or the other small group event at the restaurant. They have many off the menu items to try outHacks for ordering- switch normal pizza sauce with Indian masala sauce ?️ or habanero sauce ?️ ?️ choose based on your spicy level- do not add fried garlic or garlic as a topping but have it on side, top it off on pizza when at the table- Habanero sauce can also be ordered on side- Do not miss out on the cheese french loaf with jalapeño. Add the roasted garlic later on.- Reserve a table through google maps it will be easier to secure a table, the place could be busier on weekdays as well as weekendsDisclaimer: Jalapeños here are not pickled or sour (like dominos or Pizza Hut) they’re spicy.Vegetarian options: There are lots of vegetarian options for starters and main course pizzas & Pastas.”

“I had a blast at the comedy club a few weeks ago! My server was Priscilla and she did amazing. Very cool lady with awesome vibes. My drink was tasty (Red Queen) too.I was there right when doors opened so I was seated in the front of the stage. The place is a nice size but they pack everyone in pretty good. I was in the first seat of the row so I had leg room thank God.The main reason I went was for Chaunte Wayans and she did not disappoint! I really enjoyed her style of comedy.”

“I am a lover of Italian food! Overall the place was good. Everything seemed fresh and had good flavor. We ordered the burrata appetizer, which was decent. I appreciated that they had 2 types of gluten free pasta. They made the other pastas in house. Worth a try if you are craving Italian food and are in the area.”

“What a great experience. We went on a Sunday. No wait. They do have lounge areas if you do have to wait. Our instructor was Asa. Very friendly and helpful. We went on a couples date and had a lot of fun. It is very loud. They do have ear plugs if you need them. They have some snack foods and some drinks with limited alcohol.”

“Paracel is THE place you want to go with if you're booking a wedding, corporate event, or big celebration for any cause. Their prices for catering and use of their banquet hall are the utmost affordable, along with great service and communication during the entire process. Matt the paracel manager, is professional, consistently responsive, and accommodating to whatever needs you may have or desires for customizing your event to ensure a wonderful turnout. The owner, his wife, and the catering staff were all wonderful and provided amazing service throughout the process.We were very grateful to have a tasting of the menu hosted by the owner and his wife some months before our event so that we could tweak the menu as we saw fit. This was important for us and the already delicious food they served during the tasting was executed even better on the day of. What's even more impressive is that they created a delicious separate vegan menu and pushed out some great dishes for both the vegetarians and vegans who attended our event.We had approximately 160 guests and they all had a great time here. But truly, Paracel can comfortably fit up to 400 guests easily. Our guests complimented us on the good food they had, the great energy, good service, and on the upscale ambiance inside.On the day of, I was not able to eat my own food that was placed on our sweetheart table, but the catering staff were gracious enough to box everything for me so that I could enjoy my food on another day. In fact, the catering staff were kind enough to literally box everything for all the tables to give guests food to go as they wished. Our menu was an expansive 9 meal course, all delicious, with plenty of leftovers for everyone.Even towards the end of our big day, after our DJ left, Matt set up his DJ equipment and gave us some extra dancing time along with manning the bar for those who wanted some drinks before closing. Matt even went the extra mile to help us light up and start the sparklers for our guests to go outside.We literally cannot thank everyone at Paracel enough for allowing us to have the most wonderful day of our lives. I highly recommend this place to everyone.”

“It was awesome lol very Immersive experience. But you do sweat so get ready for that other than that everything is freaking dope any age I would believe any game but I only tried that zombie one so far. Will try to get back and get a higher score soon!”

“My daughter and I were walking down second Street in Belmont Shores and stumbled across this amazing candy shop! It was my daughter's birthday, it was meant to be "my 9 year old daughter said" when I say candy shop, that's an understatement! From the awesome decor, the life size candy and the huge assortment of candy is amazing! To top it off the have a creation station you can make your own candy pizza, candy sushi and candy slime! I believe we met the owners- if they weren't the owners, they were great with explaining how everything worked, also directing us to Candy we were specifically looking for, like I stated it was my daughters ninth birthday, who I believe to be the owners, gave her a free lip gloss that was in the shape of a cupcake! My daughter was very happy! We can't wait to go back if you're looking for a place to host a party or stop in for some yummy treats this is your place!”

“Wow that was way better than I hoped for.Chips and salsa, dark red sauce is a spicy bitter affair and the green sauce is a green aioli IE. egg yolks, olive oil, garlic and a bunch of secret things. It's crack in a ramikin. The rest was more than note worthy. Highly ”

“Stacy (sp?) and her team continuously go above and beyond with the level of customer service on every visit. I've even called to inquire about items and paid online to ensure they were available - when my honey went to pick the item up, they had wrapped it neatly for her as though it was a gift. The small touches like that go a long way with this consumer. Support this merchant, please - you won't be disappointed, I assure you. #Supportsmallbusiness”

“If you're looking for a Spanish/ Boho/ Vintage vibe. This is the spot. The texture of this place is really exciting to shoot against. Bold exposed beams, dark stained wood frames...its history oozes through the photos. The place feels very grown up. Very mature. Thinking back on it reminds me of cigar lounges and red lipstick.Photos by KLV Photography”

“Large group of us went and they made accommodations very quickly and got us all seated. Chuy took care of us along with other waiters/waitresses and we had great time! They were all very attentive and nice! The country fried steak was really good! Pancakes ? were delish, and everyone else had wonderful things to say about their food as well! The prices are very reasonable even on the low side, I think! Will definitely go back when visiting the area! Hopefully be able to play a round or putt a bit! ⛳”

“A small family owned Italian restaurant that serves great food. Our waitress was also great, very attentive and friendly. If your in Whittier, this should be one of your go to restaurants. If your in the area, stop on by, you wont be disappointed.”

“I had my daughter's quince on September 2, 2023 in Del Banquet Hall. From the start I knew it was the perfect salón to have the party there. On the day of the event everything was beautiful and perfect the food was delicious everyone loved it. I highly recomend Del Banquet Hall. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Especially Viviana and Jasmine they helped us make the process very smooth and Jonathan the bartender was awesome serving everyone drinks. Everything came out perfect my daughter was very pleased I would again definitly recomend Del Banquet Hall.”

“Once again we had another amazing family event at Mayu Silk Art! Star is such an incredibly talented teacher; I love how she described the silk painting process to the kids, comparing the painting process with the way that water moves, swirling and curling. Thank you so very much!!!”

“Trademark Brewery earns a solid 4 out of 5 stars in my book. What sets this place apart is its strong community focus and the plethora of themed events they host, including watch parties, paint nights, and more. It's evident that they're deeply rooted in their local community, which adds to the charm of the brewery.One thing to note is that while they don't have a food menu, they make up for it by inviting guest food vendors to set up in their parking lot. It's a great concept, but be prepared for potential wait times as most vendors take a while to prepare your food. My advice? Order as soon as you arrive or consider bringing your own snacks to tide you over.Speaking of amenities, the brewery allows outside food, making it convenient for patrons. However, outside drinks are a no-go, so keep that in mind. Additionally, parking is relatively hassle-free, with both street parking and a dedicated parking lot just a block away.Inside, the brewery is spacious and dog-friendly, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends, including the furry ones. The clean restrooms and ample TVs add to the overall comfort and convenience of the space.Overall, Trademark Brewery offers a fantastic community-driven experience with a variety of themed events, ample space, and inviting ambiance. While the lack of a food menu may be a minor inconvenience, the brewery more than makes up for it with its vibrant atmosphere and welcoming vibe. It's definitely worth checking out for a laid-back evening with friends and good drinks.”

“This is an absolute iconic part of Long Beach. Most beautiful theaters like this in Southern California have been converted to churches or medical offices (noooooo!!!) but here is a gem of a bygone era of movie magic. At the art theater you will instantly remember how magical a few hours can be in the right theater. From an afternoon matinee to a midnight romp with the rocky horror picture show this place has it all! Please spend some of your hard earn bucks here for an unforgettable few hours of big screen magic. I hope the art theater is around for another 100 years!”

“Fiddlers Green Pub on Joint Forces Training Base offers a delightful dining experience that transcends its modest decor. The warm and inviting atmosphere, coupled with exceptional service, creates a welcoming environment. While the decorations may not steal the spotlight, the diverse and delectable menu, particularly the heavenly chicken strips, takes center stage. The laid-back vibe and overall positive experience make Fiddlers Green Pub a standout destination. If you're seeking a place where excellent food and friendly ambiance trump aesthetic concerns, this pub is a must-visit on the base. Cheers to Fiddlers Green Pub for turning a simple meal into a memorable experience!”

“Clubhouse 6 has ping pong, exercise equipment, exercise classes, and an area for playing games or just socializing. It is the hub of Leisure World activities.”

“Beautiful historic place to visit...you will learn facts about the Mexican heritage in California...the beginning of this beautiful state and so on... whether you are visiting the State or you are a local resident give yourself the chance to enjoy this place...if you visit during the hot days of Summer bring light colored clothes because it can get hot and humid inside the museum-house and there's no AC...apart from that it is a quiet, beautiful, knowledgeable place to visit...”

“Such a great venue! The food was delicious. Great portions. All my guest were very happy with how beautiful and modern the venue was. Thank you so much to the staff that worked my event this weekend. BIG thank you to Monica! Thank you so much for such a great experience. You made everything so easy. You're definately great at what you do! You were such a pleasure to work with! Thank you so much!”

“If your looking for a venue to host your wedding, sweet 16, 50th, orr whatever your need may be, Crystal Marquis is the place to have it.Alexis, Mariah and Art are beyond fabulous. From the minute you sit down with them to tell them your vision, they work to make it happen. They take all the stress and worry with planning so you don't have to. They are in constant communication with any questions, updates or just to see how you are doing.The day of your event, Alexis, Mariah and Art and the whole staff make your event stress free and memorable. We had a couple of issues arise with the guest dietary needs during the dinner. Alexis and Mariah and the chef handled it beautifully. Alexis had let me know what they had did for the guests to make sure they were able to enjoy the whole event.What more could you ask for? Crystal Marquis is the best!!”
