Looking for great sushi in Bixby Knolls?

Kinokawa Japanese Restaurant is the place. This is my favorite affordable sushi spot in Bixby Knolls. Located on Wardlow and Walnut, they occupy a small unit at the corner of the strip mall. The inside is decorated with some traditional Japanese decor, but not the overly tacky stuff that you find in other Sushi places.

Cafe Trattoria Limone, located on the on the corner of E Wardlow Rd and Orange Ave, is a great family-run, Italian eatery. My favorite kind of place. If you’re in the mood for great pasta, it’s worth checking out.

When you first walk in the front door you have the choice of sitting at the large L-shaped wood kitchen counter, which seats 8 people. Or you can wait for a regular table. If it’s packed, there are also two tables in the kitchen half of the restaurant. The atmosphere is very cozy, just perfect for small groups or couples.

The Factory opened its doors on December 1st and since then people in Bixby Knolls have been buzzing about the place. Located on Atlantic Avenue, it’s dubbed as the “farm-to-table” restaurant as most of their menu items include organically grown ingredients.

I was really excited to see a new type of restaurant open in Bixby Knolls. And one that supports local farms and growers is a step in the right direction.

But my experience eating at The Factory was less than fantastic.

On the outskirts of Bixby Knolls, in the exclusive Virginia Country Club, lies Rancho Los Cerritos. A sprawling 27,000 acre historic rancho left over from the 18th century. Originating as a Spanish land grant held by Manuel Nieto, the last 200 years have seen the land parceled, sold, and developed into the many small communities that make up Southern California.

History of Ranch Los Cerritos Historic Site

Originally part of the 167,000-acre Rancho Los Nietos land grant issued to Manuel Nieto, the property was eventually divided into six parcels and sold off. In 1843, Jonathan Temple purchased the rancho parcel and built the adobe house in 1844 as headquarters for his cattle operations.

One of my favorite spots in Bixby Knolls is Polly’s Bakery Cafe. If you love home-baked pies and treats like I do, you’ll love this place. It seems like everyone in Bixby Knolls feels the same way, Polly’s is always packed for the holidays.

Because they have amazing pies. They sell such a wide variety of pies it’s hard to choose just one favorite. You have your choice of double crust, fresh fruit, meringues, cheese cakes, creme pies, fresh fruit shortcake and daily no-sugar-added selections.
