10/10 I will take my family back here for lunch. I was surprised it was empty when I went but it was early lunch so maybe that’s why. I got chocolate blended and a teriyaki bowl. Literally so good. Made to order so nice and warm when I ate it. Blended was so yummy I said no to adding boba but you can add boba. The man and woman working there both greeted me. Super welcoming and awesome spot. Can’t wait to go back <3
Spicy beef bowl or plate. The best, I've never tried anything else because I can't imagine them topping the spicy beef. So tender and just enough spice, sometimes my nose runs ! Lol and that's great! I wish they would jar and sell their sauce. U would make so much more money and have less sauce thieves.
I’m doing a series of reviews where I eat at food places I haven’t been to in 5-7 years since I moved away. I came to Cafe Gossip a lot since high school! I’m glad it’s still around because it still tastes the same. The people are super friendly and you can see your food being made by the cooks. They are very efficient and the portions are hefty. I will always try to find time and order food from here for nostalgic factor and memories, when I’m in the area.
Very friendly staff. And very amazing food. Been coming for years!
I drive from Hemet to MoVal at least twice a month to get the chicken and egg roll plate .
This is the best place I have ever went to. They let me relax for 2+hours and they’re so nice. I felt safe and comfortable. Service was so amazing I had to tip $10
I ordered Chicken Katsu and Orange Chicken bowls. I have to say they fried them well! The Orange Chicken has REAL Orange flavor in it unlike Pickup Stix where you taste all tangy vinegar. This place does Orange Chicken the CORRECT way. Theyre battered well and crispy with the sauce The Katsu has great breading and flavor on its own, and the sauce adds to it. The bowls I ordered were ready within 15-20 minutes of ordering, served hot with white rice and steamed veggies. RECOMMEND 100% for great flavors
