So the restaurant seems to refuse to update their hour, closing at 10:30pm on Google. They accepted you knowing they were closing soon and kicked you out like 30 mins after you ordered your food. We had to pack our food to go. What a service! Highly not recommended on service. Food was just so-so.

There are a lot of amazing restaurants in Los Angeles. The Barn is my favorite.
The concept: a no frill take on the very best of Asian foods from Japan, China and Korea.
Service: the service at the Barn is amazing. The waiters that work there are all cool and welcoming when you come in, although, It’s not a red carpet kind of place m, they know you are there for the food! They’ve managed to reduce a number of steps which allows you to get your foods faster. Ordering is done on your mobile device via a QR code by your table. Almost as soon as you ‘submit your order,’ food starts arriving! I absolutely love this and wish more restaurants would adopt this. The waiters regularly come by and are always more than happy to grab something out missed it. Clicking ‘request check’ on the mobile device and they will bring the ticket by promptly.
Food: The absolute highlight of the barn is the chefs creations. The Green Beans are absolutely to die for. I don’t know what the special ingredients they use are, but my mouth is watering thinking about this speciality! They offer yakitori; the teriyaki chicken is a favorite along with the wagyu beef. The bacon wrapped asparagus is on the regular order list, along with the cheese corn which is some of the best I’ve had. I don’t get it every time I’m there but the spicy firecracker chicken wings are amazing!
Ambiance: A single row of tables line the restaurant adorn with cool decorations throughout the restaurant. One of my favorite things about visiting the barn is the eclectic choice of music they play which changes up every night.
Wish I could give The Barn 35 out of 5 stars but they only allow me to select five stars. Hope you get to try it out and enjoy it as well!

Absolutely blown away on my first visit! We tried a wide variety of dishes and every single one was on point—flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying.
🔥 Must-tries: • Chongqing spicy noodles (mouth-numbing in the best way!) • Dry pot pork intestine (bold and addictive) • Bamboo fungus chicken soup (light yet rich in flavor) • Japanese-style pork cutlet (crispy outside, tender inside) • Grilled fish jaw, chicken wings, skewered beef and chicken breast, chive skewers—so juicy and well seasoned • Cheese corn and grilled pig trotters were the perfect finish!
The menu offers a great mix of Sichuan, Japanese, and classic skewer dishes—perfect for group dining or a cozy night out. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!

Not recommended. It’s a mix of Japanese food and Chinese Sichuan food. Weird concept. Not a single dishes is delicious, we even had to ask for salt to pour into some dishes. 🥲

Very disappointing dining experience. The food was completely bland, and the grilled skewers had a strong, unpleasant smell, making them inedible. To make matters worse, the spoon provided to us wasn’t even properly cleaned. The hygiene and quality standards of this restaurant are clearly lacking. I won’t be coming back.

Loved the barn! Had a lifechanging stinky tofu dish and haven’t stopped thinking about it three days later. The sweet potato fries were drizzled in honey yummm
Lots of vegetarian options! Attentive servers! All around great experience

we found this restaurant by accident few months back while visiting Universal Studio and we loved the food. Were visiting Universal Studio again and we made sure to comeback here and we did. Since were group of 16 people with lots of kids I called if we can make a reservation for 16 people since it was busy the last time were here. She told me she can set up 2 tables right now and we might be waiting since they have have to wait until other tables gets empty. I said thats ok and ask if they are really Busy she said its okay right now. We got there in 15 mins after calling and surprised that our table is already ready. I Spoke to the guy if we can have it separated and have 4 tables instead of just 1 long table since its gonna be on a separate tabs and its easier for us to pay. So he said ok and set ip up until this RUDE tall lady with a short black hair comes out telling us since we call for reservation its has to be in one check only, next time we have to get in line and wait until we get our tables no need to call for reservation. I told her since its 16 of us just wanted to save a spot for us if their busy and even asked her if she wants us get in line. she said its ok. They can still accomodate us since theres like 6 tables are empty tho. She was giving us attitude already but we didnt mind it coz we thinks that she got annoyed coz we have to call for reservation. But the whole time were there eating our dinner she was Fking rude. We asked her if can get our water pitcher refilled coz its out she just grabbed it whithout saying anything and my nephews phone fell coz he was using it as stand and you dont hear her say sorry or anything she just walked out. And we ask for extra plates and spoon and fork coz they didnt give us some and she just walk out and comes back just leave it on the the table with a big attitude. those are basic things that we need so we can eat and drink its not that were bothering her and kept asking for any thing! the whole dinner was disgusting i cant stand her. i dont wanna argue and make a scene coz theres other people eating beside us. So i just wrote on the receipt that she can be nice next time and she doesnt have to be RUDE and didnt give her any tip coz she doesnt deserved it! we are a paying customers and we didnt even disrespect her and gave her a hard time for her to be that rude to us!!! she shouldnt be working there if she doesnt not know how to respect and be nice to the customers!!The star if for the disgusting atttitude of their server, Tall with a short black hair lady!!!
