Nordic Fox

Friendly & relaxed atmosphere!

When in the Downey area, give this little A-frame chalet a try!

Formerly Foxy's, the Nordic Fox has come a long way with an

expanded menu and soon-to-debut sports bar! A unique find

among the overpopulated chain restaurants in Southern California,

with comfortable hosts who welcome you, great buffets and Swedish

specialties.

• Pros: unique & clean "mom & pop style" roadside diner
• Cons: none

worst food

by monazeem at Citysearch

I wanted to try scandinavian food for quite some time and finally went to this place. The food here is just disgusting. It tastes like its been sitting in the pantry for ages. I ordered fish which had so much salt on it that it made me nauseated. My husband's meat loaf was too thin and rubbery. I will strictly recommend people NOT go to this place.

• Pros: building inside is very pretty
• Cons: disgusting food

Must have been said by owner!

I have lived in Downey for many years and have been to every restaurant that has opened and I have to say this is by far the worse when it comes to customer service! The owner is obviously not a happy camper and it has been said that some of the locals only like to show when she is not present. I have had many friends try out the place as well and all I heard was how SLOW the service is and how unpleasant some of the people that work there are. It truly is a sad thing because the building itself is beautiful and is one of the only original buildings left in Downey!
