Best Healthy Restaurants in Lakewood / Bellflower

Food was alright, but the service was great! Merry Christmas 🎄

The food was outstandingly fresh, high quality, and creatively prepared and served. The price fixe menu of many courses seemed to climb a bell curve, with the least interesting being the shrimp chip and dip starter ‘snack’ , climbing to a magnificent crescendo with the the scallop and mussel small plate, and an equally exquisite plate of the freshest sliced kampachi. Each plate was beautiful, graced with curated vegetables, flowers, and delicate sauces that completed, never overpowered. Our only complaint: we found the dessert disappointing in flavor, appearance and texture: a choux pastry ball with a heavy dull filling, sitting on top of a scatter of what resembled stale cocoa puff cereal pieces. I would have traded it for the rich creamy mascapone ice cream served earlier, sans the caviar topping. The service was outstanding: gracious, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and well orchestrated. Overall we had a fabulous dining experience, exceeding our highest expectations. In most every way, including price, dining here is a special occasion; we could not understand how or why most diners we observed were wearing gym clothes, T-shirts and jeans, sneakers, fuzzy slippers. What’s next: dining in our underwear? How about a dress code?!

Such a great service and definitely will be coming back.

We don't eat out much anymore. But when we do, Taboon never disappoints. Five stars for sure.

We had a party of 6. We made a reservation last minute, and they were able to accommodate us. We were seated right away, and the service was great! The tableside guacamole was 10/10. The rib-eye tacos were fantastic, and everyone enjoyed what they got. The fried ice cream is a must try. Can't wait to go back from that guacamole!!
