Vanessa Meyer: Best lunch. The juicy pork and chicken spinach are great. We didn't know it was happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by our bill. This place is a must.
Kristen Orien: Juicy pork buns and the pork and spinach potstickers are my favorite! Truthfully, nothing I've ever had here was anything but amazing.
Nicole: Try the crispy crab and shrimp ball & pork dumpling. And for desert you MUST have the milk bun!

Reazor: Very tasty Brisket & pork ribs. Love the mac n cheese, collard greens & banana pudding for desert. Service is good. Acoustics give way to place being a little loud but its also just popular too.
Chris L: The brisket, sausages, pulled pork and chicken are all epic, especially after you douse them profusely into spicy BBQ sauce. You can come with a big party, six or seven people, take a big bench table.
Connie Chiu: One of the best BBQ spots in LA! Brisket (and don't lean it), pork spare ribs, tips, and pulled pork with the fatty ish. Mac n cheese, cornbread with honey butter, and sweet pickles 👌🏾

John Lopez: No beer or wine, but it's cool to bring your own! Pick up a six of your favorite Mex brew on your way in and dig into some Pork Belly tacos. 2 for $6.
Deidre Manna: Super adorable spot and open 7 days a week! Cash only fyi. Pork chuleta tacos were bomb & I love the fresh crispy/chewy chips they give you!
Erin N: Lobster tacos, pork belly tacos and elote corn.

Christina: The ramen, pork belly, and bagnacauda are A+++. Can't wait to go back!
wesone: If you dont like something they tell you to suck it. Spicy ramen had a sliver of pork and the broth tastes like burnt ball sack. Had ramen 200x better at Chabuya. Creamy shrimp were good though!
Kiat 明: Chashu (pork belly) robata. Get it.

Christine Ngo: Try the pork cheeks and have the waitress select five cheese for you. Delish!
Sandie: best appetizer: fried dates, parmesan and bacon. delicious!! and pork belly
Cusp25: Brioche, cauliflower, pork belly- amazing!
Gail H: Babyback rib pork taco is a must order. Also the branzino is delish. Very accomodating to make the slaw w/o onions so you know its fresh! Jamon & queso also good but salty. Skip the tamale.
Edlin Choi: Not as good. But still OK. Prefer the original, just around the corner, when possible. Pork belly is the best there. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Andrea Tucker: Pork belly tacos, pork rib taco, lobster taco, and the shrimp taco. YUM
Gail H: Margs are good (better be!) but definitely try the octopus taco - not to be missed. Also the carnitas was a good choice. Both sans onion of course.
Jessica Chong: The pig ear nachos are amazing. The tortillas are hand made all day and are so chewy and delish- the fish taco, el pastor, carnitas and the carne asada - perfection. Coming back again soon.
Los Angeles: The Bomb.com is a brilliant combination of made-to-order guacamole, Santa Barbara sea urchin, and chicharrones that melt and crackle in your mouth while the Beastie Boys blast from the DJ console.

LA Weekly: "Lamb sweetbreads with artichokes? Why not — Roman spring. Pork belly? Of course, with yellow beets and arugula." - Jonathan Gold Read more.
Annette O D: Get the Pork Belly, it's deeeelish! Not happy with the service though. It took an hour for our food to arrive - maybe because we didn't look wealthy at all? Haha.
Mike Prasad: Pork belly app is amazing, even more so, the craft cocktails by Cherish are epic!
