Boda Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Truly the best of the best! The crown jewel of Los Angeles. This food is as good as it gets. I have been coming here for over 30 years, and it is still going strong. The food is great. The prices are unbeatable. I love the soups, sandwiches, Chinese, Vietnamese, noodles, rice, chicken, beef, pork, vegetables, and on and on. The rare beef and beef ball pho is awesome and huge. I cannot possibly finish it in one sitting. Beef with broccoli has a lot of broccoli and beef with a just right amount of sauce. The pork chops are perfectly seasoned and cooked. I don't know how they make them so tender and lean. The chop suey combination here is not too thick in sauce, different from most other places where they also put eggs. There is plenty of shrimps, chicken, and beef in it along with a nice portion of vegetables. Mixed vegetables was very tasty especially when I asked for no salt in it. The sweet and sour chicken was my kids favorite. They fought up to the last piece. My personal favorite was mapo tofu, which had ground beef. It was nice when I mixed it with rice. Lemonade and Thai Ice tea we're freshly made. I just had hot tea, which quenched thirst as well as dissolved all oil in the stir fried food. This place is a very special place indeed. I pray that it will be around for at least another three decades. No place can beat the price, food, and service. The servers may not speak English well, but they are nice enough, being not pretentious or stuffy. For what you pay, the service here is more than good enough. The main server guy with a permanent smile on his face is...

My family and I came here and me and my dad ordered the same thing but for some reason my food was burnt and full of little black spots, I felt discriminated and uncomfortable eating it so I didn't. I wonder if it's because I'm covered in tattoos (I was the only one with tattoos and the women that work there were just looking at me over an over and talking to each other in their native language) I'm pregnant and was craving what I ordered but I wasn't able to eat it because it was unappetizing and felt paranoid because my food looked different to my dad's considering we order the same item. I left sad and unhappy. They didn't care and made up some excuses when I mentioned it. I didn't eat the food and probably won't go back. Plus it's way too expensive to be dealing with that. My food was burnt and not worth it.

And yes there might be many "good reviews" but if you look through it not every gets a good service, let's me know they do judge and discriminate and choose who they do and don't tend well. SAD. If it was truly a great place: food and service then everyone would be happy to had come...

Nope! Did not like the wonton soup at all!! Too much price for tasteless soup. If you ordered soup with prepared chop vegetables, forget about it!!! It is not good at all!!! Ordered dried squid to go for 19 dollars was too expensive too and the amount of squid is too much less for 19 dollars and the taste was not good either!! They even put the fried squid on fresh cabbages!!! That was to go!!! The cabbages will make the squid mushy!!! They put holes on the cheap styroplone container and stab holes on 4 corners but the holes were still like barely holes and put it plastic bags and tight the plastic bags!!! It does not make sense at all!! Lots of Hispanic family come here I guess because it started long time ago. But, I am not...
