Top Asian Restaurant in El Segundo
Nomad Eatery
2041 Rosecrans Ave #190, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
This place sucks! We stopped by before goung to the movies. I was immediately enchanted with the decorum. Very small on the inside, with beautiful repurposed wooden tables, and candle holders. Fresh herbs sitting in pots on the bar, even the water glasses were made from old cut and polished wine bottles. Very cute and clever in my opinion. We were seated promptly, and after a few minutes, the dazed bar tender stopped by to take out order (not the best sign, to me) and ordered two coffees, two desserts, one appetizer, and one Irish coffee. Coffee was stale, our flat bread pizza was burnt, dripping with grease, and needed to be salted, the chocolate mousse topped with wipped cream was grainy and tasted of burned butter, and the caramel apple fondue consisted of a half an apple and an grainy caramel sauce. Waitstaff was unattentive, and seemed spacy, we were served our coffe without sugar milk or spoons. We requested sugar from three different people and were finally brought some splenda... :| after asking for a fourth time the bar tender said he would see if he could find some sugar and eventually brought some to the table. Normally I wouldnt rate so poorly, but out total bill was $57. I expect better food and service for such a price. I will not be back, and I will not recommend this place to my friends.
Indian Summer Grill
958 Main St, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
I remember when Indian restaurant with was located on Main St across from the post office and was closed. While on line I saw restaurant with similar name (except for grill) and decided I will try it. I did a few days ago. I purchase the chicken and vegetable with rice and naan. I asked for condiments and was told that there is none and the food is cooked with spices so you do not need any. I took the food home thinking I am going to sit down with my own condiments and drink and enjoy this food. I could have gone somewhere else and bought food but wanted to eat here since I was told it was the same restaurant that was located the other end of main st a few years ago. I hate to say this but I was disappointed. The pieces of chicken seem to have been marinated in a red sauce (maybe tandoori) but it did not taste like tandoori chicken. It was cooked but had no flavor and tasted as if it was boiled. The spinach did not taste right. The rice was dry and hard. Only thing worth eating was the naan. Maybe I came at the wrong time or just ordered the wrong food but I will not go back. I am just giving my opinion. You need to try it yourself.
The Flame Broiler - Maple
2261 E Maple Ave, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
I have been on a diet for the last month were everyday I have a beef rice bowl for lunch.. As can be imagined, this endeavor has had me visit a number of different Flame Broilers in the LA area. This flame broiler is closest to work, but I choose to go to the farther one either by LAX or in Lawndale.. Why? Because this FB consistently gives me less meat, and the meat itself is dry and nasty. Im leaving this review because in a time constraint I had to give this FB a try again and I just had the absolute worst food here just now. Maybe its the contrast of the food I got yesterday from the Lawndale location that is making it worse, but I left meat in my bowl today bc it was just old, dry and nasty.. and I eat FB EVERYDAY.. Avoid this location.
Chin Chin El Segundo
2041 Rosecrans Ave #120, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
Very disappointed in the manager's handling in both service and issues with food during my last night's visit with my family.Service:The restaurant was not very busy as there were many empty tables around us, but the one server covering approx 4 tables seemed to be overwhelmed. It took 25 minutes to get waters and she would disappear for 5-10 minutes at a time many times during the evening. The 3 other tables around us were having all sorts of issues as well and appeared very frustrated when our server went missing, one of them mentioned something to what I thought was the manager, but actually a hostess. Later, after we got our food, I had to look for the manager after noticing our server wasn't getting any assistance and the service was still the same. When I mentioned the poor service and issues with the food to the manager, she said she would take care of it. She didn't seem too thrilled when I asked her why she hasn't been to our side to check on anyone. There was a surge of food runner support for a few minutes, then it went back to how it was before talking to the manager. The manager never came to ask about the issues i had with the food and avoided our side of the restaurant the rest of the night, which is why I'm even bothering writing this.Food:The “Super Food bowl” was extremely soggy and tasteless. The “bok choy and mushrooms” was overpriced for what you get and partially undercooked because they were much larger bottoms and NOT what is shown on the website. Our party of 8 went there for the Dim Sum, but after waiting over 30 minutes to just put our order in, we opted out after being told it would be at least another 25 minutes for an order of dim sum. The meats in both the chicken and pork chow fun bowls were overcooked and tough. Also, they were out of 4 of the 5 specialty teas listed on the menu, which was odd. The Sushi rolls were actually pretty good and would recommend them.
True Food Kitchen
860 Pacific Coast Hwy #100, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
I began dining at True Food Kitchen when they first opened their original location at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California. I have been a fan ever since, and it is one of my favorite restaurants. The El Segundo restaurant offered a similar experience as the experiences Ive had at Newport Beach. The main reason I like True Food Kitchen is due to their seasonal menu of fresh, creative, and healthy dishes. We usually start with their edamame dumplings and hamachi as appetizers (which also make a light meal if one isnt too hungry), and then get whatever looks good that day. Desserts are delicious, relatively healthy, and worth the calorie splurge. In line with fresh and creative dishes and drink offerings is the restaurants decor, which is very casual at the same time stylish. Ill call the style abstracted urban farm. It has a clean look to coordinate with clean food and clean living. The outdoor dining space is equally pleasant as the indoor dining room. The only negative thing we experienced was it was a bit noisy. The dining experience could be enhanced if they proactively addressed this issue as well as turned down the volume of the music. We found ourselves raising our voice in competition with the loud music as well as the party next to us who also needed to raise their voices to hear each other. Service was friendly, and I would say slightly above average in responsiveness. Its a large dining room, and our server was literally covering a lot of ground. Our meal for 3 which included two appetizers, 3 entrees, 3 desserts, and a bottle of wine was $116.00 + tip. So, it wasnt what I would call inexpensive, but not overly expensive either considering how much more it is to buy quality organic food. I also value the careful preparation and presentation of the food. Overall our experience was very good, we all enjoyed our food, and we had a great time.
Tapizn
450 Main St, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
I came to Tapizôn for an event where I got to try their food for free, but I will be back because the people, the food, the music, the location, and the overall atmosphere were awesome!The items I was able to try:CHEESY DICE 4.5/5This was one of my favorites. I was expecting more of a cheese flavor, but that didn't detract from the dish. They have a chewy inside with crunchy outside. Imagine fried tapioca and that's what this is like. The real star of the show is the sweet and spicy açaí sauce; it is fantastic with this! I've never had anything like it.PUMPKIN SOUP VEGANA 3.5/5I am a huge pumpkin soup fan, so I was really looking forward to this dish. Tapizôn's version is vegan and thus lacks the heaviness from traditional recipes which include lots of cream. It had a ginger forward taste which I really enjoyed. My only comment is that in my opinion, it needed more salt.GARLIC FRIED CHICKEN 3/5These had a very mild garlic flavor; it wasn't in your face. Most of the pieces had a great crunch, but a few were soggy. The lemon added a good acidity and I loved the additional flavor of the pickled onions. The dipping sauce provided was togarashi mayo, although I didn't taste a lot of togarashi.AHI TUNA CRUDO 5/5This was another favorite. This was so flavorful and the fish was so fresh. Yum! And I loved the tapioca paper chips.MOQUECA 4.5/5This was a very mild fish which is how I like ‘em! I loved the peppers in it which contrasted well with the coconut cream. My only comment is that this also seemed to be under salted.BRAZILIAN BRIGADIERO 3.5/5This dessert was surprising due to its consistency; I expected it to be a spoonful of chocolate pudding but man was it thick! It took time to eat… which meant more time to savor the flavor.ORIGINAL CAIPIRINHA 4.5/5I enjoyed this cocktail and would get it again. It's both light and refreshing. Mine was very lime forward in flavor. I would like to try their passion fruit flavored cocktail next time!PRIMA PAVE - Rosé dolce 5/5I wish I asked for a second glass of this!I love that this is a nonalcoholic alternative for people who like wine.In addition to the wonderful food, original caipirinha cocktail, and non-alcoholic wine- all of which were fantastic, we also had the good fortune to try different flavors of a Brazilian energy drink brand called Soda Bossa.SODA BOSSA 5/5I tried the passion fruit, guayana berry, and dragon fruit Pitaya flavors. My favorite was the passion fruit, because I'm obsessed with the sweet and sour flavor of that fruit. My second favorite was the guayana berry, followed by my third, the dragon fruit Pitaya. However, all of them were good and definitely something I would buy instead of traditional/common energy drinks. Soda Bossa is a much healthier and tastier option.I had a wonderful time, ate some delicious food, and now know a new place to go to. I definitely recommend you give this place a try and bring friends so you can share several dishes. Your experience, of course, will be different because I was here for an event, but I hope it will be equally as wonderful. And I can recommend them if you're interested in hosting an event there because they did a wonderful job.
RiceCups
130 E Grand Ave K, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
Best New Lunch Spot in El Segundo!Easy to get to as well. It is across the street from the Standard Sports Bar. There is parking on the street, in the shopping center as well at the nearby RITE-Aid as well.My wife and I came here because we are foodies and love a uniquely fun lunch together.My wife had the Spicy Chicken with a can of Coke and I went for the Beef Buloggi. Both of which had the white rice option.The salad dressing is a must to be placed atop of the veggies!No need to ask for extra hot sauce or Mayo as that they know the exact amount that is needed!The Chicken is friend in a thinner batter. This means more chicken than fried breading as many other Asian cuisine restaurants do. But not RiceCups!The Beef Buliggi was so thinkly sliced that it was easy to eat with a fork. No need for any knife to cut the items in the bowl.Suggestion, the portion size does look large but my wife and I ate the entire bowl for lunch.Their Mac-&-Cheese is superb!Planning on coming here more often!Also, there is plenty of spots to park and lock up your e-bike or bicycle. This is a Bike Friendly Location!

The Original Rinaldis Deli & Cafe
323 Main St, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
Looking for a great sandwich? This is the place. Rinaldis is consistently delicious. Every sandwich I tried is really good, and ordering the same one again is consistent to the one before. I always get a large because I think I will eat half and then the other half later, but its hard to stop eating, its so good.Over time, Ive had the Fireman, Godfather, Reuben, Turkey Meatballs and Beadnik Basil Pesto Chicken.The fireman is pastrami with pickles, mustard and cheese. Yum! Godfather looks more like an open faced sandwich. Its blanketed with melted cheese. After you eat it, you are super happy and need a nap.I recommend doing your best in saving some of the meatball sub for later. After it sits and the bread soaks up even more of the sauce, it becomes this mushy extra layer, but the bread itself holds up/you can still pick it up without making too much of a mess.The Reuben is a light version of the Fireman. It comes on Rye bread. Super good!Beadnik Basil Pesto Chicken has a generous layer of pesto, without overpowering the chicken and mixed with the cheese its a sandwich version of Chicken Pesto Alfredo pasta. The chips selection is excellent.
Mennoya Noodle House
United States, California, Hawthorne, W El Segundo Blvd, 邮政编码: 90250
This is a great place to come and eat. Im vegan and my boyfriend is not and we were both really happy with our 1st experience here! They completely understood and pointed out to me what was and wasnt vegan on the menu. (Their Ramen noodles arent vegan but the delicious Udon is!)What I usually find when I get vegan ramen at a place that isnt 100% vegan is that the soup base is kind of bland or just salty. The soup base here is so flavorful! Its a gigantic portion and I ate the whole thing.Also they have a spiciness level from 1 - 5 peppers.I chose 2 and it is like most other places 3.5 on the spicy scale!Tempura was hot and very fresh. I love the seaweed tempura!!The atmosphere is so fun and the music is really great. You will feel like you are in an anime or a jrpg.The one piece theme is so adorable. The seating is comfortable and theres lots of windows.There is parking around back if you get to the front and theres no parking. Also free parking on the street.
Good Stuff - El Segundo
131 W Grand Ave Ste. C, El Segundo, CA 90245, United States
Good Stuff always hits the spot. If you havent been, you gotta go! Its probably my personal favorite chain of restaurants in the South Bay. They have a sweet diner vibe with amazing customer service (been to almost every location, and everyone rocks) but offer more than diner food.They also some Asian fusion dishes like the picture teriyaki beef and veggie bowl. This baby was loaded up with brown rice and all the veggies. Even with sauce and rice, this bowl wont weight you down. Perfect for a healthy meal thatll fuel you the rest of your day ?
