Alright; I’ll try to be transparent. I love this place and it has my heart. The first time I was here I was so hungry I ate $40.50 with of food. However, I had only brought $40 cash and nothing else. The lady was nice about it and I felt embarrassed. The food is amazing so the embarrassment didn’t stop me from becoming a regular. Now, some months later, I brought my mom and dad to eat here but it was very packed and a couple was taking forever to clear the bar area, which they had conveniently sat in the very middle of. Now they say my parents and I separately which bothered me quite a bit but thankfully the couple left before my food came out. Another table cleared, and my parents began moving their stuff to another table. This upset the owner, who said she had to clean. So my parents went back and eventually they sat them in the bar area, next to me. After this the owner seemed very cross and even served another unrelated customer with subtle disdain. I had never experienced this personally and I really don’t judge her for what happened. I was simply surprised and felt embarrassed by what my parents had done. I really hope in some way she knew we were sorry but I guess it’s too late for that now. We left good tip but that was more for the lovely Hispanic lady that waited us, and hopefully for the cook too. I personally will come to this place until it doesn’t exist but the experience I had that morning was very strange and uncomfortable. Best breakfast for $20 that you’ll find in all of Los Angeles.

A great place to have classic American breakfast. The hashbrowns are the best and their pancake flavor is hard to beat. It’s always busy and all you need to do is wait your turn outside and the lady in charge will give you a table once there’s free room.

Love this place since the seventies. My dad used to bring me and my brother here best pancakes in town! Also they have daily specials chicken teriyaki to die for.

Unique food and great taste! Apart from the food they have a “take it or leave it” approach, so set your expectations properly.

Don’t tell too many people I’d like to keep it locals as they keep it busy as is
BTW pancakes are soooo good doesn’t require syrup! Just a little butter and heaven!

Intimate diner with the sights, smells and tastes in your face. Sit at the counter. Yummy pancakes. Eggs and stir fried rice is a must. The cook at the grill is a maestro!

Best place for pancakes made from scratch plus delicious lunches. Since I lived alone I went there several times a week. Linda was always cheerful and helpful with everyone’s orders. Delicious and reasonable.

excellent little LA breakfast spot, not a lot of seating, but worth the vibe and good food if you like cozy and real places
